When retired Master Warrant Officer John Blaine finally looked in the mirror and decided to ask for help, it wasn’t a sign of weakness — it was the turning point of a lifetime spent in service.

In this Remembrance Day special, John reflects on four decades in uniform: from Cyprus and Germany to Afghanistan’s Operation Medusa. He speaks candidly about moral injury, the invisible wounds of service, and what it takes to rebuild after losing your sense of purpose.

Honest, grounded, and deeply human, Fixing What Is Broken reminds us that the fight for survival doesn’t always end on the battlefield — sometimes it begins the moment you come home.
