I had not expected to release an episode this week, but with everything going on I just needed a place to process my thoughts and I chose to do that here. We all had different perspectives, opinions, and experiences involving the war in Afghanistan. It was a 20 year war that some feel should have never started or needed to have ended long ago. Others feel it was another Vietnam, destined to fail and carried out at too high of a price. Regardless of how you feel, chances are you or someone you know gave something or everything to this war. Many are asking themselves, “Was it worth it?” I certainly asked myself that same question 9 years ago while I sat in Afghanistan and another life had been lost. If you are a veteran struggling, please reach out to a local vet center, the veteran crisis line, or to a buddy.
