Christopher Warner and Brook Jones

Two old Soldiers - one from Ohio and one from Georgia - first meet in 2006 while in Wisconsin training for deployment into Baghdad, Iraq. Through the years, they remain the closest of Friends - no, they remain Family by choice. Unpopped Colonels captures their thoughts. From mobilization, to War, the challenges after returning home, and everything in between, these two retired Colonels have thoughts, insights (dare we say "wisdom"), and opinions that need to be said and equally so, need to be

Unpopped Colonels ·

2023/10/09

In this episode, the Colonels step out of their comfort zone, of sorts, and talk about their deployment into Iraq in 2006 - 2007.

2023/10/07

Pumpkins and ghoulish faces illuminated by candles are a sure sign the Halloween season is upon us. In this episode, we talk about a Halloween tradition: Jack-O-Lanterns.

31 Days of Halloween...Day 4, Origins: Kekri

Unpopped Colonels ·

2023/10/04

Kekri was one of the biggest Pagan holidays celebrated in ancient Finland. Kekri was not a communal holiday - it was a Family holiday. In other words, the window for celebrating Kekri was generally the first two weeks in November. There were no grand gatherings. Finnish Pagans celebrated within the Family sometime within those two weeks. It was customary for the Family to first complete their harvest work, then celebrate Kekri.

"Dziady" is a term used in Slavic folklore to identify ancestral spirits and a collection of pre-Christian rites, rituals, and customs dedicated to them. The purpose of these rites and rituals was for the living to commune with the dead and to establish relationships with the spiritual ancestors.

In this episode, the Unpopped Colonels talk about the Chemical Trails (CHEMTRAILs) Conspiracy Theory. Condensation Trails (CONTRAILs) are a thing in the airborne transportation industry...those cloud-like, straight-line things up in the sky emminating from in-flight aircraft way up in the troposphere. Of course - those are CONTRAILs!..or are they? There are those among us who say they are CHEMTRAILs, deliberately placed by the government for a variety of reasons. The Colonels compare and

In this episode, the Unpopped Colonels discuss the concept of Patriotism, specifically...what it means today. Sure, the standard colonial definition is fairly well understood, but two-and-a-half centuries later, what does it mean?

Reflections on Andersonville Civil War Prison

Unpopped Colonels ·

2023/06/01

In this episode, the Unpopped Colonels travel to the Andersonville Civil War Prison located in Andersonville, Georgia. It was a solemn visit, to say the least. Hastily constructed in 1864, the 16-acre site saw 45,000 Union Soldiers, now Prisoners of War, enter through the massive Andersonville gates, 13,000 of whom never returned home. Being Soldiers ourselves, we felt the dispair of the Union prisoners as if we were walking among them; equally, we empathized with the Confederate Garrison being

2023/04/27

In this episode, the Unpopped Colonels discuss elements of America's National Power. This episode is the first in a series about this topic. We discuss how government is supposed to work - not how it actually works (which to be honest, its a mystery to us too). Our conversation starts out with defining the concept of "Desired Endstate," then we move to a "Holistic Approach," then defining "Strategy" (hint - strategy and planning are two completely different things), we then introduce three
