Peaches goes straight at a viral hype video that sells Special Reconnaissance with bad math, bad facts, and Hollywood fluff. No hate on SR—those dudes do real work—but saying “1 Special Reconnaissance operator for every 100 SEALs,” claiming JTAC authority, and tossing around cyber buzzwords isn’t transparency, it’s misinformation. This episode breaks down what Special Reconnaissance actually does, what they don’t, why recruiting myths stick around, and how AI-generated hype is making things worse.
