14 - Erik Armstrong The Long War Interviews

    • History

For this episode I talked to Erik about the 82nd Airborne, his time fighting the Iraq War and his time hopping around in the Afghanistan War. We also talked about the importance of training, good leadership, working with army Special Forces, and the differences between those two wars and those two countries. 

This show supports local veterans' organizations. It's easy to give money to large, national groups, and call it a day, but it's much more impactful, and rewarding to work with vets in your local community. Here's a link from the VA that highlights different local, veterans service organizations across the country. Take a look, and see if there's a way you could make an impact.
