    <description><![CDATA[Carry On is more than a podcast — it’s a mission. <br /><br />Hosted by retired U.S. Marine Master Seargant Brad Colbert (yes, that Brad from Generation Kill), this show dives headfirst into the topics most people tiptoe around: combat, trauma, resilience, whiskey, firearms, freedom, and what it really means to be a man in a world that keeps changing.<br /><br /> Whether you’re a veteran, a patriot, a misfit, or just someone searching for honest conversations, you belong here.]]></description>

<p>Improvise. Adapt. Go.</p>
<p>This week’s SITREP breaks down three pressure fronts shaping global power in real time:</p>
<p>• The reported breach of China’s National Supercomputing Center — and what strategic penetration really means
• The expanding U.S. maritime pressure campaign against Iran — blockade or coercive architecture?
• The fight in Washington over FISA Section 702 — very useful, very invasive</p>
<p>If the China breach is real, this wasn’t just stolen files. It may have been access to architecture — research priorities, institutional linkages, operational seams. Not just data. Visibility.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, U.S. force posture in the Gulf continues to build. Ships redirected. Maritime screening enforced. Negotiations happening under visible pressure.</p>
<p>And in Washington, Congress debates the future of one of the most powerful foreign intelligence tools in existence. The question isn’t whether surveillance capability exists. It’s how it’s constrained.</p>
<p>Strategic compute is now primary terrain.
Maritime power is coercive leverage.
Surveillance authority is political fault line.</p>

<p>Modern warfare isn’t just changing tactically.</p>
<p>It’s changing physically — and psychologically.</p>
<p>In this 2 part episode of the Carry On Podcast, Brad “Iceman” Colbert sits down with Alex Lemons, author of Warbody, to discuss how evolving conflict environments reshape the human experience of war.</p>
<p>From endurance and performance to stress, adaptation, and identity, this conversation goes beyond geopolitics and into the lived reality of modern fighters.</p>
<p>This episode explores:</p>
<p>• The concept behind Alex Lemons’ new book Warbody
• How modern warfare changes the human body and mind
• Performance under stress and prolonged uncertainty
• The evolution of battlefield transparency
• Physical readiness vs. technological dependence
• Identity, resilience, and adaptation in modern conflict
• What future warfighters must prepare for</p>
<p>This isn’t just about strategy.</p>
<p>It’s about the human system inside the uniform.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in military performance, modern combat evolution, resilience, leadership, or the psychology of conflict, this episode delivers a deep and grounded conversation.</p>

<p>The Iran ceasefire is still alive on paper. But paper doesn’t stop missiles.</p>
<p>In this SITREP, Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the real state of the U.S.–Iran pause and why it may be more fragile than advertised.</p>
<p>This episode covers:</p>
<p>• Lebanon as the stress fracture of the ceasefire
• Israel’s escalation against Hezbollah
• Hormuz as leverage, not just geography
• Why ceasefires are messy and often violent at first
• The CIA’s role in the F-15 rescue
• “Ghost Murmur” and the myth vs. physics debate
• What Ukraine’s drone war is teaching the U.S. military
• Why the battlefield is becoming permanently transparent</p>
<p>This isn’t peace. It’s a contested pause.</p>
<p>If diplomacy doesn’t outrun violence quickly, this won’t be remembered as a settlement — it will be remembered as an intermission.</p>
<p>Stay frosty.</p>

<p>Part 3 of the Carry On Podcast AMA goes deeper — personal, professional, and strategic.</p>
<p>In this final installment of the AMA series, Brad “Iceman” Colbert answers questions about adoption and family, religion and faith shaped by conflict, Recon selection and dive school, NATO’s future presence in Europe, lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan, drone warfare, Generation Kill realism, leadership, and what modern war is becoming.</p>
<p>This episode covers:</p>
<p>• Adoption, biological family, and what “family” really means
• Religion, agnosticism, and how war shapes belief
• Recon indoctrination, dive school, and mental resilience
• British Royal Marine perseverance and allied forces
• NATO’s eastern frontier and U.S. presence in Europe
• Drone warfare and how Ukraine is reshaping the battlefield
• Generation Kill — what was accurate and what wasn’t
• ACE reports, military shorthand, and combat brevity
• Leadership lessons from Nate Fick and recon operations
• What happens after the cameras stop rolling</p>
<p>This is candid, reflective, and at times deeply personal — exactly what an AMA should be.</p>
<p>If you care about military leadership, geopolitics, alliance strategy, modern warfare, or the human side of service, this episode delivers insight you won’t hear in surface-level commentary.</p>
<p>This concludes the three-part AMA series.</p>

<p>This week’s SITREP breaks down the real strategic picture behind the Iran conflict — the Baghdad kidnapping, the downed U.S. F-15 Strike Eagle, the Strait of Hormuz ultimatum, and what President Trump’s infrastructure threat actually signals.</p>
<p>Is America winning? Or is this a war of leverage and friction?</p>
<p>Brad “Iceman” Colbert analyzes:</p>
<p>– The rescue operation inside Iranian territory
– Why the shootdown matters more than the recovery
– How Iran weaponizes geography in Hormuz
– NATO strain and alliance credibility risk
– U.S. domestic polling and war fatigue
– China’s undersea mapping campaign
– The Artemis II mission and the real space race against Beijing</p>
<p>This is not a headline recap. This is strategic analysis.</p>
<p>America still has the bigger hammer — but Iran may control the pain dial.</p>

<p>You asked the questions. Brad answered them — unfiltered.</p>
<p>In Part 1 of this three-part AMA series, Brad “Iceman” Colbert dives into everything from his time during the 2003 Iraq invasion and Generation Kill to behind-the-scenes casting, military logistics, foreign forces, gaming, NATO strategy, and even the infamous “tactical” question that had to be asked.</p>
<p>This episode covers:</p>
<p>• The truth about “tactical” field realities
• How Brad feels about Evan Wright’s portrayal in Generation Kill
• Thoughts on Alexander Skarsgård playing him in the HBO adaptation
• His favorite foreign military to work with — and why
• NATO, Lithuania, and realistic defense scenarios
• Combat logistics, equipment issues, and turret armor
• Night optics, batteries, and battlefield practicality
• Gaming, nerd culture, and life outside the uniform
• Early thoughts on controversial political topics</p>
<p>This isn’t scripted commentary. It’s direct, candid, and sometimes uncomfortable — exactly how an AMA should be.</p>

<p>The global pressure is building — militarily, economically, and politically.</p>
<p>In this March 26 SITREP episode of the Carry On Podcast, Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the accelerating U.S.–Iran conflict, troop movements toward the Strait of Hormuz, Iraqi militia fallout, Russia’s reaction to strikes near its nuclear infrastructure, and the growing global energy shock now rippling into Asia.</p>
<p>This isn’t just about airstrikes. It’s about strategic load bearing across multiple theaters.</p>
<p>Inside this episode:</p>
<p>• 82nd Airborne and Marine Expeditionary Units deploying toward the Middle East
• Kharg Island and the Strait of Hormuz as potential limited objectives
• U.S. strikes inside Iraq and the sovereignty backlash in Baghdad
• Russia’s alarm over strikes near the Bushehr nuclear facility
• Kremlin internet shutdowns and Putin’s security posture
• The suspicious pre-announcement oil futures trade
• Emergency fuel measures in the Philippines
• Why global LNG and oil disruptions are becoming systemic
• How multi-theater strain is testing U.S. force posture and industrial depth</p>
<p>The U.S. is simultaneously fighting a regional war, deterring China, expanding homeland defense, modernizing nuclear systems, and managing an energy crisis — all while markets react in real time.</p>
<p>This episode connects the battlefield to the energy markets, diplomacy to force posture, and escalation risk to global economic stability.</p>
<p>If you follow geopolitics, U.S. military strategy, global energy markets, or great power competition, this SITREP lays out the full strategic picture without the noise.</p>

<p>In this March 26 SITREP episode of the Carry On Podcast, Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the accelerating U.S.–Iran conflict, troop movements toward the Strait of Hormuz, Iraqi militia fallout, Russia’s reaction to strikes near its nuclear infrastructure, and the growing global energy shock now rippling into Asia.</p>
<p>This isn’t just about airstrikes. It’s about strategic load bearing across multiple theaters.</p>
<p>Inside this episode:</p>
<p>• 82nd Airborne and Marine Expeditionary Units deploying toward the Middle East<br>
• Kharg Island and the Strait of Hormuz as potential limited objectives<br>
• U.S. strikes inside Iraq and the sovereignty backlash in Baghdad<br>
• Russia’s alarm over strikes near the Bushehr nuclear facility<br>
• Kremlin internet shutdowns and Putin’s security posture<br>
• The suspicious pre-announcement oil futures trade<br>
• Emergency fuel measures in the Philippines<br>
• Why global LNG and oil disruptions are becoming systemic<br>
• How multi-theater strain is testing U.S. force posture and industrial depth</p>
<p>The U.S. is simultaneously fighting a regional war, deterring China, expanding homeland defense, modernizing nuclear systems, and managing an energy crisis — all while markets react in real time.</p>
<p>This episode connects the battlefield to the energy markets, diplomacy to force posture, and escalation risk to global economic stability.</p>
<p>If you follow geopolitics, U.S. military strategy, global energy markets, or great power competition, this SITREP lays out the full strategic picture without the noise.</p>

<p>The Iran war isn’t just happening overseas — it’s hitting Washington, your gas tank, and America’s long-term readiness.</p>
<p>In this week’s Carry On Podcast SITREP (March 20), Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the domestic impact of Operation Epic Fury — from intelligence contradictions on Capitol Hill to the true financial cost of sustained war in the Middle East.</p>
<p>This episode goes beyond battlefield updates and focuses on what matters at home: credibility, strategy, energy markets, and the long-term strain on U.S. military capacity.</p>
<p>Inside this episode:</p>
<p>• The Capitol Hill testimony that exposed fractures over the “imminent threat” justification
• Contradictions between intelligence officials and war messaging
• Why Operation Epic Fury may cost between $600M–$1B per day
• The hidden readiness bill behind missile stockpile depletion
• Why the defense industrial base cannot surge overnight
• How disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is driving U.S. gas prices higher
• The real reason oil spikes affect America — even if we don’t buy Iranian crude
• What reserve releases can (and can’t) fix
• Signs of internal strain inside Russia’s pro-Putin ecosystem</p>
<p>This isn’t partisan commentary. It’s a strategic analysis of war rationale, fiscal sustainability, industrial capacity, and energy economics.</p>
<p>The question isn’t just whether the U.S. can win militarily — it’s whether the justification, financing, and long-term posture can hold under stress.</p>
<p>If you follow U.S. military strategy, geopolitics, energy markets, defense economics, or great power competition, this episode connects the operational details to the domestic consequences.</p>

<p>The U.S. has launched over 1,100 strikes on Iran — but is this actually winning the war?</p>
<p>In this week’s Carry On Podcast SITREP, Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the real battlefield math behind the U.S.–Iran conflict: strike counts, maritime disruption, oil market shock, Russian involvement, and the deployment of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit toward the Strait of Hormuz.</p>
<p>This isn’t headline analysis. This is operational-level reality.</p>
<p>Inside this episode:</p>
<p>• Why Operation Epic Fury may be succeeding tactically but facing strategic limits
• How Iran is fighting a cost-imposition war instead of a conventional one
• What the 31st MEU deployment actually signals
• Why the Strait of Hormuz is the real center of gravity
• Russia’s intelligence role and oil sanction waivers explained
• The truth about sleeper cells vs lone wolf threats in the U.S.
• What victory actually looks like for the U.S., Israel, and Iran</p>
<p>The key question:
Can overwhelming military superiority translate into lasting deterrence — or is this becoming a long-term managed overextension?</p>
<p>If you follow geopolitics, U.S. military strategy, Middle East security, energy markets, or great power competition, this episode connects the operational details to the strategic endgame.</p>

<p>In this week’s Carry On Podcast – SITREP (February 19th), Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the rapidly tightening global escalation ladder.</p>
<p>• Two U.S. carrier groups positioned near Iran
• Strait of Hormuz disruptions and IRGC signaling
• Missile deployments to the Philippines
• Arctic NATO deterrence operations
• Militarized sanctions in SOUTHCOM
• Directed-energy systems deployed near El Paso
• Iran’s nuclear negotiation strategy via Oman
• What a limited U.S.–Iran strike campaign would actually look like
• The attempted assassination of Russia’s GRU deputy chief
• A deep dive into Russia’s long history of state assassinations</p>
<p>Brad walks through the tripwires that could trigger conflict — nuclear breakout, mass casualties, Hormuz closure, or an Israeli preemptive strike — and explains why most modern wars begin not with declarations… but with escalation cycles.</p>
<p>This is not hype.
This is posture, power projection, deterrence, and consequences.</p>
<p>If you want clear-eyed analysis on geopolitics, military strategy, assassination campaigns, and emerging global flashpoints — you’re in the right place.</p>

<p>In this week’s SITREP, Brad “Iceman” Colbert takes you once around the world as tensions rise across multiple theaters.</p>
<p>Two U.S. carrier strike groups move within range of Iran. Airspace over El Paso is abruptly shut down amid cartel drone concerns. Raytheon unveils a next-generation counter-drone system capable of defeating swarms without firing a shot. And in a development that could reshape modern warfare, China launches its fully operational BeiDou global positioning system—challenging U.S. GPS dominance in space.</p>
<p>From CENTCOM to INDOPACOM, from border security to satellite warfare, this episode breaks down what these moves really mean for U.S. military posture, homeland defense, and the future battlefield.</p>
<p>No hype. No noise. Just strategic context.</p>
<p>Topics covered:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>U.S. carrier deployments near Iran</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>El Paso airspace shutdown &amp; cartel drone threats</p>

<p>In this SITREP episode of the Carry On Podcast, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert delivers a comprehensive, no-nonsense breakdown of rapidly unfolding global military and geopolitical events. This episode dives deep into Iran’s escalating internal unrest and regime pressure, U.S. military deterrence posture, carrier group movements, cyber and kinetic strike options, and the real-world consequences of potential conflict in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Brad also unpacks the shifting situation in Syria, including ISIS detainees, U.S. policy reversals, Kurdish SDF integration, Turkey’s role, Israeli airstrikes, and the moral cost of abandoning battlefield partners. From Space Force expansion and freedom of navigation operations near Taiwan to energy markets, sanctions, and global deterrence, this SITREP connects strategy, history, and hard realities without political spin.</p>
<p>If you care about military strategy, national security, modern warfare, geopolitics, and what actually happens behind the headlines, this episode is required listening.</p>

<p>Brad digs into the growing threat of classified documents handled by GovAI systems, exploring whether artificial intelligence is becoming a force multiplier — or a vulnerability — in intelligence operations. He also tackles the controversial debate over free U.S. citizenship through military service and whether fast-tracking recruits creates a major security risk for the armed forces.</p>
<p>Finally, Brad examines the rapid expansion of U.S. military drone programs, the shift toward autonomous surveillance and strike capability, and what it means for future warfare and American dominance.</p>
<p>No narratives. No talking points. Just veteran clarity on war, politics, leadership, technology, and the fight to stay human in a world racing toward automation.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this SITREP, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the Trump administration’s newly released National Security Strategy, placing it within the long arc of U.S. foreign policy. Brad explains the administration’s shift toward sovereignty, unilateralism, and America-first strategic priorities, marking a significant departure from decades of globalist approaches.</p>
<p>He analyzes the renewed prioritization of the Western Hemisphere, its impact on U.S. military and intelligence operations, and the heightened strategic importance of Taiwan in the growing U.S.–China rivalry. Brad also examines the shifting weight placed on Europe, the deliberate deprioritization of the Middle East, and what these realignments signal for future U.S. engagement.</p>
<p>The Iceman dives into the rapidly expanding role of AI in military operations—from targeting and logistics to intelligence and autonomous systems—and how artificial intelligence is already reshaping the future battlefield.</p>
<p>This SITREP delivers unfiltered insight into how these strategic shifts will affect U.S. foreign policy, global stability, national defense, and the next era of warfare.</p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this SITREP, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the Trump administration’s newly released National Security Strategy, placing it within the long arc of U.S. foreign policy. Brad explains the administration’s shift toward sovereignty, unilateralism, and America-first strategic priorities, marking a significant departure from decades of globalist approaches.
He analyzes the renewed prioritization of the Western Hemisphere, its impact on U.S. military and intelligence operations, and the heightened strategic importance of Taiwan in the growing U.S.–China rivalry. Brad also examines the shifting weight placed on Europe, the deliberate deprioritization of the Middle East, and what these realignments signal for future U.S. engagement.
The Iceman dives into the rapidly expanding role of AI in military operations—from targeting and logistics to intelligence and autonomous systems—and how artificial intelligence is already reshaping the future battlefield.
This SITREP delivers unfiltered insight into how these strategic shifts will affect U.S. foreign policy, global stability, national defense, and the next era of warfare.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this SITREP, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the escalating hidden war over Venezuela’s rare earth minerals—resources that sit at the center of global power, U.S. national security, and the rapidly intensifying competition with China. Brad examines why these minerals matter, how China gained dominance in the global supply chain, and why the U.S. military is paying close attention to Venezuela’s untapped mineral wealth.</p>
<p>From resource warfare to environmental impact, from foreign policy dilemmas to the future of U.S. strategic readiness, Brad exposes the real stakes behind the Venezuelan crisis—and how control of these minerals could reshape global power dynamics for decades to come.</p>
<p>The Iceman also weighs in on security clearances and the recent Pete Hegseth Signal chat debacle, breaking down what happened, why it matters, and what it reveals about trust, communication, and modern information security within the military and media.</p>
<p>No spin. No filters. Just straight, mission-focused analysis on war, geopolitics, leadership, national security, and the world as it is.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this SITREP, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert tackles a fast-moving week across national defense, geopolitics, and global crises. Brad breaks down the surge in Venezuela cartel fatalities and intensified U.S. counter-narcotics operations, the growing push toward censoring speech, and escalating pressure at the Mexico–U.S. border.</p>
<p>He highlights America’s emerging defense technologies, including advanced micro-reactors, and examines a historic moment in national readiness: U.S. military recruitment reaching 100% — a never-before-seen level in modern history. Brad also discusses the cultural impact of the Boy Scouts and the military, long-standing traditions of service, and how both institutions shape character and leadership in the next generation.</p>
<p>With rising violence against believers, Brad addresses the Nigerian Christian genocide, and reviews early developments surrounding a potential Russia–Ukraine peace agreement.</p>
<p>No scripts. No spin. Just raw, veteran-driven clarity on war, politics, leadership, national defense, and the fight to stay human in a fractured world.</p>

<ul>
<li>
<p>The still-fragile cease-fire between Israel and Gaza — what failed, who’s responsible, and why peace remains out of reach.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Intelligence, military posture, and “resident press” dynamics inside the Pentagon — the hidden briefings and decisions shaping U.S. strategy.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>America’s covert operations in Venezuela: CIA authorizations, drug-boat strikes, and the implications for U.S. foreign policy.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>No spin. No sugarcoating. Brad brings his combat-tested viewpoint to questions of war, strategy, leadership and the cost of action — in a world that’s always watching.</p>
<p>If you follow current events, geopolitical power shifts, military-intelligence breakdowns, and want veteran insight you can rely on, this SITREP is your front-row seat.</p>
