Navy SEAL David Rutherford sits down with retired Army Green Beret Dean Goble to talk about a veteran medical debt crisis almost nobody discusses, and how Dean and his team are solving it by paying those bills off. Goble says last year's Operation Debt of Gratitude eliminated $35 million in qualifying veteran medical debt. They get into why VA care is not always free, what changes when a relief letter arrives, and why asking for help beats carrying every burden alone. Black Rifle Coffee is a show sponsor and Dean's employer.
