#99 - Dean Burgess - Ex 2 Commando Operator Speaks on Ben Roberts-Smith, Immigration & Australia’s Future

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Dean Burgess — former 2 Commando Special Forces operator and veteran of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan — for a direct and confronting conversation about the state of Australia, the treatment of veterans, and the issues many people are too afraid to talk about publicly. We dive into the attack on Australian veterans — discussing the fallout from recent years, the Ben Roberts-Smith situation, media narratives, and the impact these stories have had on soldiers who served overseas. We also unpack ISIS brides, immigration, and national identity — exploring how Australia is changing, the concerns many Australians are raising, and where the country could be heading if difficult conversations continue to be ignored. Beyond that, we talk about war, sacrifice, leadership, loyalty, and the mental toll combat can have long after the battlefield is left behind. This is a raw conversation about service, truth, resilience, and standing by your values in a world that often wants silence over honesty. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🎖 Dean’s time in 2 Commando ⚔️ Deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan 🇦🇺 The attack on Australian veterans 📰 The Ben Roberts-Smith situation ☪️ ISIS brides and national security 🌏 Immigration and the future of Australia 🧠 Mental resilience after war 🔥 Loyalty, leadership, and speaking openly 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation #2WorldsCollide #DeanBurgess #AustralianVeteran #2Commando #SpecialForces #BenRobertsSmith #Veterans #Immigration #AustralianPodcast #IndependentMedia
