This week on Late For Changeover, we rewind to Operation Gothic Serpent—the mission behind Black Hawk Down—and unpack how it shaped modern military operations (and Hollywood's understanding of them). Meanwhile, the Space Force is handing out its first-ever Good Conduct Medal, which is probably just a silver rocket for not making memes in uniform. They're also entering the final phase of uniform testing, which means we're this close to seeing Guardians cosplay as Star Trek extras full-time.
We salute NASA’s Frank Rubio for setting a new U.S. space record, chat about Ukraine’s new database that can apparently track every single American weapon faster than the Pentagon can track anything, and break down how the VA accidentally gave $9.7 million in bonuses to the wrong execs—because of course they did. Oh, and just a heads-up: the Army’s thinking about raising a force for large-scale conflict again. So, like… maybe keep that go-bag packed. It’s News for Vets, space podcast vibes, and military madness wrapped in one glorious episode.
