  Welcome to the Underground Studio.
• 0:59
  I'm truck them out. This is my Rd.
• 1:02
  I don't own much. I own the road.
• 1:05
  OK, Stay out of my way. I just turned 60, OK?
• 1:09
  I'm in the fourth quarter of this.
• 1:11
  So truck them out to run you over.
• 1:13
  You know who I'm talking about. All right, So, hey, today we're
• 1:17
  going to talk about military enlistment.
• 1:22
  Why did people listen to the military?
• 1:24
  OK, there's a lot of different reasons people do it.
• 1:28
  Trucker mouth looked into and look into it and talk about it.
• 1:31
  But before I do, I'm going to do a segment called Rd.
• 1:35
  Buckle up America, it's time for some road rage with trucker
• 1:40
  mouth. Let's hit the open Rd.
• 1:45
  OK, I just got my road rage back.
• 1:48
  All right, So I'm going to do, I'm going to talk about what
• 1:50
  everybody's talking about. The whole damn world is the Fort
• 1:53
  Hood shooter, OK, the Fort Hood shooter, the Fort Hood shooter
• 1:59
  on and it's coming up on 17 years, November 5th to be 17
• 2:04
  years that this asshole went in that processing center and shot
• 2:10
  13 people, wounded 30, two others.
• 2:16
  OK, this bastard is getting ready to pay his dues right now.
• 2:24
  So at the door anyway. Yeah, since the asshole is
• 2:29
  getting ready to pay his dues and truck a mouse all over.
• 2:32
  See, I did a show. I did a show last last week or
• 2:38
  so that I talked about him and and and and and what it was was
• 2:47
  what it was was he went into a red in this processing center on
• 2:52
  post at Fort Hood and opened fire using the handgun were
• 2:55
  laser and unarmed soldiers and civilians preparing for
• 2:59
  deployment, preparing for deployment to go over to
• 3:03
  Afghanistan and do something for our country, which most people
• 3:07
  watch this podcast while we use wood, but most people outside of
• 3:10
  the the MBR family this and that almost say a lot of them would
• 3:15
  never think about going over and doing anything for the country.
• 3:18
  They're too worried about, Oh, they took some of my food stamps
• 3:21
  or this or that. Go to the military, man.
• 3:24
  Do something, OK? And that's what we're going to
• 3:27
  explore after I talk about this asshole, OK?
• 3:30
  He wanted to be a martyr. Don't make him a martyr if you
• 3:34
  do. That's what I said.
• 3:35
  I said shoot the ass, shoot the bastard, OK, But don't put it
• 3:39
  on. Don't put it on national TV
• 3:42
  'cause he wanted to be a martyr, OK?
• 3:45
  And, and a survivor of the mass of the Fort Hood shooting.
• 3:49
  Alonzo Lunsford, a Sergeant at the time who was shot 7 times
• 3:56
  and lived. He played dead.
• 3:58
  OK. He played dead till he could.
• 3:59
  Then he drug. Then he drug other people out to
• 4:03
  safety when he could. OK this man's a hero.
• 4:07
  If you wouldn't have been shot 7 times he might have retired as
• 4:11
  AE8E9. But this ass so I'm sure to
• 4:13
  being shot 7 times he probably they won't.
• 4:17
  They probably had to retire out of military, I don't know.
• 4:20
  And instead of retired as the staff Sergeant, which is only
• 4:23
  one grade above the Sergeant. But Alonzo Lunsford, I seen you
• 4:29
  on TV, brother. And you you're just like me.
• 4:34
  He the the the four hood shooter wanted to be a martyr.
• 4:39
  He stated he wanted to be a martyr.
• 4:41
  Don't make him a martyr, OK? If you put him on national TV
• 4:45
  and and a firing squad, he's going to be a martyr.
• 4:49
  Don't do that. Don't make him a martyr.
• 4:51
  You know what he should be doing in this in this truck and mouse
• 4:55
  opinion. Execute him at the columns at
• 4:59
  the memorial at Fort Hood. Fort Hood has memorial and I
• 5:03
  wasn't there. You have columns down there with
• 5:06
  people's names on it of the victims of the Fort Hood
• 5:10
  shooting. And I think he should be he
• 5:12
  should be tied to more them and shot dead right at the memorial.
• 5:19
  That's just me and I'm trucker Mouth.
• 5:23
  And that's the story. He's doing death row at Fort
• 5:26
  Leavenworth right now. So he he he got his just who's
• 5:29
  coming and Trucker Mouth called it because we're going to shoot
• 5:37
  that asshole. I pulled the truck.
• 5:39
  I already shot. Here we go.
• 5:41
  Trucker Mouth already shot him. Bastard.
• 5:45
  Oh, man. OK, so let's get let's get back
• 5:51
  to let's get to the topic here. I just wanted to weigh in on
• 5:54
  that because I really got my goat, man.
• 5:56
  I really got me. So we're going to get back to
• 6:01
  the to the at hand. Let me try to enlarge my
• 6:10
  pictures so I can see what see this Roy pisses me off at this.
• 6:14
  This computer here. OK, I hit something and then and
• 6:25
  then it'll go somewhere and I can't get back to the damn
• 6:28
  screen. All right, so that that that
• 6:30
  that really pisses me off when it happens.
• 6:34
  Just trying to make it a little bigger so I can see things.
• 6:36
  But when I make it bigger, I can't see my my screen over
• 6:39
  here. OK, so I can go to do this route
• 6:45
  which covers the whole screen, which I could do that for right
• 6:47
  now. OK, So what we're looking into
• 6:51
  now is it it is why people listen to military, OK?
• 6:57
  And there's a lot of different people listen to military ranges
• 7:04
  from from doing something to your country for your country
• 7:10
  to, you know, just just learn trying to learn something or get
• 7:16
  away. And here we go.
• 7:18
  Let's get down the road here. OK, So military enlistment.
• 7:21
  Why do people listen to the military?
• 7:23
  What post 911 veterans say they enlisted to do something for
• 7:29
  their country, fight for my country.
• 7:32
  I'm short after 911 them them damn recruiters had no problem
• 7:40
  people. I'm sure they had no problem
• 7:44
  recruiting people because they suck us.
• 7:48
  They snuck us, they sucker punches with them planes at the
• 7:53
  World Trade Centers. And I actually tried to to go
• 8:00
  back in myself and I missed it by by hair.
• 8:07
  It wouldn't take me, but I almost got there.
• 8:10
  I was in the VA program out in Pittsburgh and I was really
• 8:18
  healthy. I mean, I wasn't drinking or
• 8:20
  anything. I was lifting out, working out
• 8:22
  on the treadmill, lifting weights.
• 8:24
  I went to recruiter submit, I want to do something and almost
• 8:30
  got it, but there they go. Maybe it's lucky.
• 8:35
  Maybe I've been killed or something actually.
• 8:40
  OK yeah. So post 911 versus they want to
• 8:42
  do something for the country. They had enough of that.
• 8:45
  They had enough of people remember, see my radios.
• 8:48
  They had enough people, you know, sucker punches and this
• 8:52
  and that and older people died up in New York City between them
• 8:56
  two towers, there was 100,000 people worked in them.
• 9:00
  We understand and and we lost more people. 911 we did at Pearl
• 9:05
  Harbor. So the second thing is we talked
• 9:09
  to veterans and they were drafted.
• 9:13
  The Vietnam married veterans were drafted.
• 9:15
  They you know, they went Well, you know what, they didn't have
• 9:19
  to go because there's a lot of people that went to Canada, went
• 9:22
  to Mexico or just ran around 9 States and didn't go.
• 9:25
  They didn't go to draft back end.
• 9:30
  I mean, I don't, I, I think I would have went but I wasn't put
• 9:34
  in that situation when there was a lot of killings.
• 9:36
  It was on TV every day and I believe I would have went though
• 9:44
  and get my hammer cause trucker mouth, I got to have this in
• 9:49
  view at all times cause trucker mouth.
• 9:51
  Putting the hammer down on the Fort Hood shooter and you're
• 9:54
  getting your just dudes, you prick, you're dead.
• 9:57
  We're killing you. We're done.
• 10:02
  All right, so let me draft. And I bet that was just just
• 10:09
  terrible, man. So a geographical escape.
• 10:15
  A lot of veterans just wanted to get away.
• 10:18
  They wanted to get away from from from their area for what
• 10:23
  was going on in their lives, whatever.
• 10:25
  And and my reason for going into the military and that kind of
• 10:31
  sums up my reason for going to the military.
• 10:34
  I wanted to, I wanted to get away from here.
• 10:38
  What I did, what I did. And I live in this town here.
• 10:42
  The day, the day I left for the Navy, I got in my dad's car.
• 10:46
  I said that gotta use your car night before night before I went
• 10:49
  up there. We're coming to get me.
• 10:50
  Recruits are coming to get me. Take me up here to Harrisburg.
• 10:57
  And we flew out to Illinois boot camp anyway.
• 11:08
  I wrote OK, I got in my dad's car and I drove up and down the
• 11:10
  Main St. in this town for a couple hours straight at night
• 11:13
  time, just riding up and down the street.
• 11:15
  I know people were looking at what, because I was sick.
• 11:18
  I wanted to hate this town. I hate it.
• 11:20
  I despised it and I wasn't coming back.
• 11:23
  But I didn't come back. Actually, I yeah, I did come
• 11:28
  back. I got to watch hanging this
• 11:32
  year, I guess, because it's, that's what it's made for.
• 11:35
  Yeah. So I, I, and I wonder, you know,
• 11:38
  I was in trouble. I was a derelict.
• 11:42
  I was, I was, I just wanted to really get away and, and just do
• 11:45
  something for myself because my parents, you know, hated me.
• 11:48
  I was, I was working in the foundry and all, I was working
• 11:51
  and all, but I just knew something better had to be out
• 11:54
  there. And I went to Navy and, and I'm
• 11:59
  glad I did. And I, you know, I didn't
• 12:01
  realize what was out there until I went in the military, OK.
• 12:09
  I didn't realize all the different things you can do in
• 12:12
  your life until I went in the military and got around, started
• 12:16
  seeing things. You know, there's a lot of
• 12:22
  things in the cities and all the people do that, that the people
• 12:25
  right here will never even think I've heard of doing.
• 12:28
  Yeah. So I I went in and then I
• 12:32
  learned some things and all, you know, I got out Navy when I
• 12:36
  could. I had some, yeah.
• 12:41
  But anyway, so, so that was my reason for going to the
• 12:45
  military. I just wanted to get away.
• 12:47
  I wanted to better myself and all that.
• 12:48
  And I'm, I'm glad I did. I'm glad I did.
• 12:52
  Next thing is learn a trade or skill and get some and get some
• 12:58
  Time Warner about using it. OK, so that's that's that's
• 13:03
  another one that's a learned trade.
• 13:04
  You know, you want to go in there.
• 13:05
  OK, I'm going in to be a a hall tech or something in the Navy.
• 13:09
  That's pretty much plumber. You learn welding, plumbing, all
• 13:13
  that and you know, you get time on your belt using it.
• 13:17
  Can't beat it or whatever else you're going to get into.
• 13:21
  You know, I inspired to be a radio man because I don't talk
• 13:24
  on CVS and all growing up and all I wanted to be a radio man
• 13:27
  going to the military. I didn't qualify for that or
• 13:33
  sonar tech, but I ended up being an aviation structural mechanic,
• 13:36
  which I learned. I learned some things, valuable
• 13:38
  things, and I'm glad I did it. Well, yeah.
• 13:48
  So take a little break and we come back.
• 13:56
  More on Oh my God here. Oh yeah, more on the military
• 14:03
  enlistment and why people do it. The station where our veterans
• 17:06
  voices are heard. MBR talk.
• 17:10
  Hey, thanks for supporting our channel by watching and
• 17:12
  listening find. Us on the.
• 17:14
  Web at NB radio dot. Hello, everybody, Welcome back
• 17:19
  to the Trucker Mountain show. All right, so today we're
• 17:23
  talking about military enlistment and why people do it,
• 17:27
  why people listen to the military, not a reasons.
• 17:30
  I have several or there's much more.
• 17:33
  So we just got done talk about learning a trade or skill.
• 17:36
  OK, now a place to live. I've talked to some veterans and
• 17:40
  they just they just you don't need a place to live.
• 17:45
  They were they were homeless and the one that's in the military
• 17:56
  and. That's why that's why they went
• 18:03
  in to me. That's why they went in.
• 18:07
  I guess I'll blow the screen up again.
• 18:09
  That's why they went in to a place to live.
• 18:13
  And I guess all these apply to them.
• 18:16
  Geographical escape, learn trade, all them.
• 18:21
  Oh, so OK, so now we got now we've got we're going on next
• 18:30
  one escape the law from prosecution, drop fines and cost
• 18:34
  a lot of years ago. You know, you if you went into
• 18:36
  the military, you go to the justice and pieces and if you
• 18:39
  had, you know, had some fines on there for like, you know,
• 18:41
  underage drinker and everything. They just settle steps up when
• 18:44
  you're when you're young and dumb and what a fight.
• 18:46
  You know, you feel comfortable over there.
• 18:52
  I won't be able to see my radios and shit, but anyway, we got my
• 18:55
  ducks. We got my new backdrop back
• 18:57
  there, the ball of chains like an Ave. and and the battle axe T
• 19:01
  yeah, trucker mouth. It's all for my initials.
• 19:04
  OK, so, yeah, so years ago you go to these justices of pieces
• 19:08
  and and they would and they would and they would drop the
• 19:10
  fines across if you went into the military.
• 19:13
  And no, I doubt you see that anymore, but they did that
• 19:17
  stuff. And again, I guess also all
• 19:22
  these a lot of these reasons plus that apply to these people
• 19:26
  that went in because of that reason.
• 19:29
  That's a hell of a reason, Gwen. I mean, I had funds cost, but
• 19:32
  they were all paid off. That's all the probation,
• 19:35
  everything. And I'm going to.
• 19:36
  So military family continued tradition, OK.
• 19:41
  Some people have a military family tradition being in the
• 19:43
  Army or the Marine Corps or any one of your branches, OK.
• 19:49
  And mine was mine was Navy. You know, my dad was in the
• 19:52
  Navy, his dad was in the Navy for a period of time.
• 19:59
  My uncle was in the Navy, my cousin was in the Navy.
• 20:02
  My dad's thought and his relatives were in Navy.
• 20:04
  So we're Navy people, OK, We're Navy men.
• 20:08
  And funny story about that because now we're not Great
• 20:10
  Lakes, right? Great Lakes, Illinois from boot
• 20:14
  camp and all that. After we graduated boot camp, we
• 20:17
  went in in Chicago. Well, we ended up.
• 20:21
  We ended up at a VFW or was that an American Legion?
• 20:30
  He goes, I'm not sure of a VFW American Legion anymore.
• 20:33
  We went in there because we think we, we, we just the one
• 20:38
  guy said we can go in here. We went in there and they're
• 20:39
  like, no, you can't come in here.
• 20:40
  I remember. But we said we just graduated
• 20:42
  boot camp and he left us in and they started talking to us and,
• 20:49
  and we were drunk. I mean, we, we were, we were way
• 20:51
  out of line, man. We, they like the same because,
• 20:54
  you know, except we just graduated boot camp and all with
• 20:56
  the VFW out there in Chicago. And it happened to be that one
• 21:01
  of the guys there who worked, he was, I guess he was a trustee
• 21:05
  for the, for the VFW. He was related to my grandfather
• 21:13
  and I told him like look man and they knew we were drunk.
• 21:15
  So the other two guys took off, go back try to get catch the
• 21:19
  bus. I stayed there for some reason
• 21:22
  my drunk ass stayed as VFW and I don't know why I did that.
• 21:27
  I guess they caught the bus I didn't.
• 21:30
  So here I was drunk off my ass in Chicago.
• 21:32
  I missed the bus going back to the to the Great Lakes and
• 21:35
  luckily this guy was related to my grandfather.
• 21:39
  His name was Captain Smith. He was actually captain at the
• 21:41
  base. He was at caps the he was
• 21:44
  captain. He was captain of the base for
• 21:48
  NOB, Great Lakes, IL and the training area and he was ready
• 21:53
  to my ground for my grandfather's cousin.
• 21:55
  So he ended up I laid there because I was drunk off my ass
• 21:58
  drunk. I was drunk and I laid there on
• 22:03
  the floor drunk off my ass and he was cleaning up and on and I
• 22:06
  guess he kind of rushed through it because of me and he drove me
• 22:09
  back to Great Lakes. It was snowing out.
• 22:11
  It was in December. Wait, wait, wait a minute.
• 22:14
  We went in and we went in in December and eight weeks
• 22:22
  February. I guess it was.
• 22:26
  February and we we and it was snowing out and he took me back
• 22:33
  and said, look, I remember telling him, look, you can't get
• 22:35
  on bases and I'm the captain. I said.
• 22:38
  But you can get on bases. Yeah, I'm the captain.
• 22:41
  So he took me. Down and dropped me off and he
• 22:46
  said a couple words to me and he said good luck.
• 22:49
  I did that. He goes, you're probably in
• 22:50
  trouble. I said, look, I don't know.
• 22:52
  He goes, well, that that bus should have waited for all years
• 22:55
  until everyone is there and they took me out, dropped me off and
• 22:59
  I went back in and and. I told him.
• 23:04
  But luckily, luckily, that man was.
• 23:07
  Because if he wouldn't have done that.
• 23:09
  For me, my military, my Navy crew went into the right there.
• 23:13
  They went through me out. Oh, another reason people go in
• 23:19
  the military is for a job, income, they have nothing.
• 23:22
  And I guess a lot of these reasons right here, a lot of
• 23:26
  these reasons right here apply to them.
• 23:29
  Because if they just. Go in for a job.
• 23:31
  I mean, they don't have no job. Or don't they go in the
• 23:32
  military? Hey, that's noble.
• 23:36
  And then probably all these apply to them.
• 23:38
  Learn to trade. Just my country place to live.
• 23:43
  All that. Bottom do bottom probably do
• 23:47
  man. And you know when you go in the
• 23:49
  military, you got to be you got to be you're in with a lot of
• 23:57
  people. OK, I mean it, it's, it's, it's
• 24:00
  it's a you know, I mean, you're, you're when you first go in your
• 24:05
  your your boot camp bro, your frontline, you're you're you're
• 24:07
  you're you're with everybody all the time.
• 24:10
  So you got to be, you got to be, you know, I ain't certain code
• 24:14
  nothing. I ain't no recruiter.
• 24:15
  You got to be a tough individual because you go take a lot of
• 24:18
  shit from a lot of people. OK.
• 24:20
  And it it, it, it it's it's like out the whole way through boot
• 24:26
  camp AIT all that you're all you're living in Group, living
• 24:29
  in numbers and you got to be able to be someone who can who
• 24:33
  can live with a lot of people and.
• 24:37
  And deal with it, I did all right.
• 24:43
  With it, I come from a smaller area, but you know, I did OK
• 24:49
  talking about talk and just just great.
• 24:55
  Just power it off. Whoa.
• 24:58
  Power off. I just charged.
• 25:02
  That up, Oh man. So anyway, you know, all these
• 25:10
  things, all these, all these things, I mentioned that a lot
• 25:13
  more or more for people that want to enter the military.
• 25:17
  Like I. Said I tried to go in after I
• 25:19
  was in that VA rehab out there in.
• 25:24
  Pittsburgh. BC 10/11/12.
• 25:29
  It was after 911. I came back from.
• 25:34
  Florida in 01. Yeah, it.
• 25:40
  Was way past 01. I'm thinking, I'm not thinking,
• 25:42
  but it was like 2010, 2011 I I may have, but this far, this
• 25:47
  close. And I.
• 25:50
  Came down to it. They had taken me in.
• 25:53
  That's right. And there's a lot.
• 25:56
  Of different reasons people do it.
• 25:57
  I mean, hey Gwen, like I said, learn to trade.
• 26:00
  You know see the country. Like I said, there's things that
• 26:03
  I've seen out there to do that I never would have even thought of
• 26:07
  doing. You know, everybody around here
• 26:09
  inspires to be and I want to know why this thing power off.
• 26:15
  I just charged that. Thing out, it dropped but I
• 26:18
  fixed it. Yeah, anyway.
• 26:25
  A lot of different. Reasons the, the people, the
• 26:27
  people who listen to the military, they're all good.
• 26:30
  They're all good except for that asshole.
• 26:32
  Fordo. He listened and he was talking
• 26:33
  to Al Qaeda. How could you do that?
• 26:36
  He knew them people. He was on that base.
• 26:38
  He was a major. Oh my God, who knows?
• 26:45
  He he probably, he probably went in the military to kill, to kill
• 26:48
  Americans. Who knows?
• 26:51
  But. Yes, Sir, he deserves a firing
• 26:59
  squad and a bit of it, you bastard.
• 27:06
  So. I keep saying so.
• 27:10
  So yeah, there's a lot of different reasons.
• 27:12
  We all listen to the military and everyone of them is pretty
• 27:16
  much good, you know, if you want, if you're down and out,
• 27:19
  man, you know, go in the military and they see, they see
• 27:22
  that you're in the military, man.
• 27:23
  It'll enhance your life. It'll enhance your life.
• 27:25
  If you can do something for your country and for yourself, that's
• 27:30
  the reason not to do it. And like I said, then people
• 27:34
  were going over there in the Fort Hood to defend our country
• 27:37
  and you wouldn't hear that come out of some of these people's
• 27:39
  mouths ever. Some of these people, they just
• 27:42
  want to know what the country can do for them.
• 27:46
  I sound like. Who was that famous singer?
• 27:49
  Not what you can do for country. What?
• 27:51
  Not what your country can do for you.
• 27:52
  What you can do for your country.
• 27:54
  I forget who that was one of presents.
• 27:59
  I'm lost for words, Roosevelt. All right there, buddy.
• 28:07
