Episode 11: John Intsum - Mapping the Battle

Welcome to this episode of The War Business Podcast. You are all in for a special treat with today’s guest. The guest reached out to me (Matt) a few months ago when my book finally hit the market. For those of you who read it, you might remember that I mentioned a reoccurring phantom Kandahar deployment. Part of my company was going to break off and reinforce a U.S. Army unit that was in the fight for their lives in a valley that somewhat split Helmand and Kandahar provinces. Well, our guest was one of the U.S. soldiers in that valley of death.This marks our first guest who is not a Marine, so all you Army fellas out there can finally get some love. Brendan and I will have to go to confession for this, but we are going to allow it. Lastly, being that our guest is a member of the intelligence community, we are keeping his identity concealed and we will refer to him as John. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit warbusinesspodcast.substack.com
