Description
REWIND episode. Dale Dye joined The Protectors® in 2019. This was a definite fanboy moment for me, as a lifelong fan of Dale’s work in front of and behind the scenes from Platoon to Band Of Brothers and beyond. This 76th episode aired on December 19, 2019. Join us for an enlightening chat with Captain Dale Dye, the force behind the groundbreaking '80s war film, Platoon, and the man who continues to champion military realism in Hollywood. We dissect the raw realities of Vietnam portrayed in Platoon, providing a fresh perspective on war movies, and discuss Captain Dye's pivotal role in initiating crucial conversations about PTSD and veterans' experiences.We also delve into the work of Warriors Inc., Captain Dye's venture that has expanded beyond television and film to the publishing world, offering a platform for veterans to share their unique stories. What could be more compelling than literature penned by those on the front lines? Hear how these narratives help bridge the understanding gap between civilians and veterans. Discover the power of shared experiences and the therapeutic value of such dialogues among veterans. Explore, engage, and be inspired by our conversation with Captain Dale Dye - a hero, veteran, and guiding light.Support the showMake sure to check out Jason on IG @drjasonpiccolo
