Tracer Burnout and Growing Up in the U.S. Military

The American civilian-military divide is stark. Only about 1 percent of the U.S. population has served in the military. We here at Angry Planet like to do what we can to bridge that divide and have found that the easiest way to do that … is just to talk to veterans and service members.


That’s why you should listen to the podcast Tracer Burnout, a show where a pair of Army vets talk to other vets about their service. The guys at the center of it are Dan and Roger, two friends who both grew up as Army brats. On this episode of Angry Planet, Dan and Roger stop by the show to tell us about Tracer Burnout and what it was like to grow up on American military bases.


  • The origins of Tracer Burnout
  • How Fury inspired a veteran to start a podcast
  • Psychic soldiers in Fury
  • The difference between the branches
  • The changing relationship between the military and the American civilian population
  • Californians in Texas
  • The life of a military brat
  • Frontier re-enactors
  • Hardtack
  • The anti-authoritarian streak in veterans
  • What happens when the Army makes you to learn a language
  • Life as a personal trainer in the Army
  • Submariners
  • Where the name comes from
