Topic: Military Transport

Mainstream media has focused on the "20-something" age of recent leakers, including Jack Teixeira, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden. Teixeira's specific role as a "Cyber Transport Systems Journeyman" in the Air National Guard is described as a high-level IT position that requires 18 months of training. Critics argue the narrative is being used to attack the military's reliance on young personnel who possess the necessary cyber skill sets.

The BBC reports on small-scale drug smugglers executed on the Iran-Afghanistan border, which the hosts dismiss as a distraction from large-scale trafficking. They suggest that five thousand tons of opium cannot be moved in "secret compartments" of trucks and point to the CIA's historical use of military transport for drugs. The film American Gangster is cited as a realistic depiction of how such operations function.
