Samantha Francine is an activist, a woman of color, and is dedicated to education and bringing about change. On June 3rd she was participating in a Black Lives Matter protest in the resort town of Whitefish, Montana when she was approached by Jay Snowden, a visibly irritated and irate man shouting obscenities and ripping signs out of protestors hands. At that moment she chose to do what I hope we all would have the courage to do, she stood her ground and stared the man down. The interaction between Samantha and Snowden and his subsequent behavior was captured on video, and the still picture of Samantha staring into his eyes quickly went viral, receiving national media attention.

Today's Full Auto Friday will focus on one question, instead of multiple, with no time cap. I received a message from a man getting ready to leave active duty. He has questions about whether or not we are, or have accomplished anything with our efforts. Questions about whether or not we are the "force for good" that we say we are, whether or not the fight is worth the cost of American lives, and how to move on. They were tough questions, I hope my answers did them justice. Enjoy

Traditionally these episodes are dedicated to multi-topic Q and A, today will be slightly different. The most regrettable moments of my life revolve around the times I have not taken action when I should have, when I have not said something that I should have, when I tolerated what I know to be wrong. I am as flawed as the next man. The list of my mistakes is long and distinguished. I will stand in judgment of my actions, all of them. What I discuss on this episode needs to have been said long ago, many times, by far too many people. I was part of the problem, I should have been part of the solution. Question 1: CrossFit
