Former Green Beret and CIA contractor Tony Cowden is back in part two of this two-part series. Part one dove deep into his upbringing and early career. Now, we're getting into Ground Branch. Ground Branch is known for being the CIA's covert counterpart to Special Operations. Ground Branch has been active in many theaters of war–Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, though their actions are rarely covered in the media. We cap off the episode with Tony's transition into civilian life and ultimately into a grueling campaign for Congress where he saw the hypocrisy and corruption of the USG first hand. Tony and Shawn discuss the state of America and what they believe is coming next.
