@GFYGardenCenter - Iraq Intel Vet and Former Fat Man

"Johnny Tyler" of @GFYGardenCenter stopped by the virtual bar. This is one of my favorite accounts to follow on the bird app. Over the last 75 weeks he's become sober and lost over 140 pounds. A former Army Intel guy, we were in Iraq around the same time in 2003 and watched the evolution of the insurgency and the growth of AQI (Al Qaeda in Iraq). He talks about his time there attempting to inform leadership on the hazards of dissolving the Iraqi Army as well as some of the food gems of the Middle East. He is also an avid Vegan disrespecter and post Libertarian. We get into his utter contempt for the vegan cult and the issues he has now with the Libertarian movement after rescinding his support for them. There is also a healthy amount of food and cooking chatter. Grab a glass! There Will Be Bourbon. Tonight's discussion fueled by: Makers Mark 46 French Oaked.
