Unpopped Colonels
Two old Soldiers - one from Ohio and one from Georgia - first meet in 2006 while in Wisconsin training for deployment into Baghdad, Iraq. Through the years, they remain the closest of Friends - no, they remain Family by choice. Unpopped Colonels captures their thoughts. From mobilization, to War, the challenges after returning home, and everything in between, these two retired Colonels have thoughts, insights (dare we say 'wisdom'), and opinions that need to be said and equally so, need to be heard. Tune in to our weekly podcast for interesting topics, guests, and a few war stories along the way.

...are they real...ARE THEY?..in this episode, the Unpopped Colonels discuss the Conspiracy Theory surrounding "Birds Aren't Real." Starting out as innocent urban prank, the "Birds Aren't Real" conspiracy theory most certainly should stop each of us in our tracks (OK, slippers) to just think - for at least a passing moment - to just think what if the concept is plausible? Was Alfred Hitchcock in his 1963 thriller "The Birds" that...
