In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Military Mentor Podcast, Big Chief dives into the global chaos we’re all witnessing—from the wars in Ukraine and Gaza to civil unrest in the U.S.—and unveils a truth most people don’t realize: we’ve all become unwilling soldiers in a new kind of war. But this isn’t about boots on the ground. This is information warfare—a battlefield that plays out through screens, algorithms, and psychological manipulation. Drawing from his military leadership background, Mike explains how tactics once reserved for foreign PSYOP missions are now being used to influence public opinion at home. He breaks down real-world examples like Cambridge Analytica, AI deepfakes, and algorithmic radicalization to show how society is being shaped, divided, and often weaponized without people even knowing it.

Listeners are challenged to check their biases, question their sources, and protect their mental terrain the same way soldiers guard physical ground. With wars now being won or lost in minds rather than in trenches, this episode is both a wake-up call and a guide to navigating today’s volatile information environment. Whether you’re a veteran or a civilian, the call to lead, think critically, and protect our shared humanity has never been more urgent.
