Ep 316 - War is my Business
from The War Locker Show · host The War Locker Show
Sergeant Matthew Brunnemann spent a year fighting in Helmand Province. After that first deployment, he had a deep and unsettling desire to get back in the battle. He hadn’t installed enough tracking devices, 400 helicopter-borne raids were not enough, he hadn’t captured enough Taliban… there was still a fight to be had. So he returned to the Graveyard of Empires, spending a total of five hundred days in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2012. He sits down with Matt and Chuck and talks about his service as well as his book War Business: The Hired Guns Of Helman ProvinceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-war-locker-show--6767179/support.Join us for War Locker LIVE — formerly Locker Room Live!
