Summary

Facing charges from military prosecutors, Aaron Howard, a decorated combat and veteran Navy SEAL has maintained his innocence, passed a pair of polygraph tests, and was found not guilty of all serious charges by a jury of his peers, yet is still facing a destroyed career of service and loss of medical benefits — benefits he and his family urgently need after combat injuries including a traumatic brain injury (TBI), missing facial bones, PTSD, and more.

On October 30th, 2020, Aaron was discharged from the military, losing his qualifications, awards, medical retirement, and his GI bill benefits. Aaron currently has an appeal pending at the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals in an attempt to clear his name and overturn the general court-martial verdict.

0:44.5	podcast, I had to bleep some stuff out.
0:46.6	And people are going to ask why so I'm going to just going to go ahead and
0:48.7	front load it. It's two reasons.
0:50.2	One, there were what I would consider to be a few sensitive topics or
