In Episode 104 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides some updates regarding new shows on CRN before he discusses a number of current event topics that provides evidence of chinks in the Team Trump armor. First up is the MTG resignation and potential ties to George Soros. But that’s not all… apparently there is a great deal of frustration in Congress with the Trump administration and it could lead to more resignations and a possible loss of the House in the midterm elections. Dave then reviews Barrasso’s commentary regarding the need to keep the filibuster. After that, he runs through the Survival Realty and Gun Show information before turning his attention to a disturbing video concerning Campbell’s Soup.

This episode examines what private military companies and campaigns look like.
I discuss traditional and emerging trends in private military warfare which tends to still take place in nation-state warfare. While combat support and combat service support billets have been filled with private military entities for all know history, the emergence of larger and larger forces of private kinetic and trigger puller entities has gotten larger over time.
