Guarding the Guardsmen: Andy Lindstrom’s Pro Se Fight for Justice - S.O.S. #197
In this powerful episode, we follow Sgt. Andrew “Andy” Lindstrom — a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former Nevada National Guardsman — as he takes on the military establishment in a courageous solo legal battle.
After reporting military sexual trauma (MST) and financial misconduct within the Nevada National Guard, Lindstrom faced harsh retaliation and was removed from both his military and civilian roles. Refusing to back down, he chose to represent himself pro se, navigating a complex legal fight without an attorney.
