Killology 101 with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
Living in a time with great unrest, we all need to examine our ability to survive. Whether it be a natural disaster, a violent encounter, or a silent attack like sleep deprivation, post traumatic stress, or the guilt and shame of our past we all need to take inventory as to the skills and knowledge we have to press on during difficult times.
My guest today, is (Ret.) Lt. Col. Dave Grossman who has spent his life preparing for the unknown. He served in the military for 24 years as an Army Ranger, and Paratrooper. Additionally, he was a professor of psychology at West Point. He has been retired for almost as long as he was in the military and still travels the majority of the year training military and law enforcement personnel. Lt. Col. Grossman studied the psychology of killing and combat and wanted to better understand the topic and educate warriors about what to expect when involved in violent encounters like war and protecting the communities of this Nation. He is the author of On Killing, On Combat, Assassination Generation, and the children’s book, Sheepdogs: Meet our Nations Warriors. Lt. Col. Grossman is a man of faith, and two of his more recent books, On Spiritual Combat and Bulletproof Marriage address matters or faith and spirituality.
The conversation covers a number of topics to include, increasing murder rates, the conditioning of violence in children, becoming a sheepdog, hope for those dealing with trauma, and the epidemic of sleep deprivation.
