My guest today is Brendan O'Byrne. Brendan is a veteran of the United States Army. In 2007, he served a 15 month deployment in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan with the men of Second Platoon, Battle Company. This deployment was documented in Sebastian Junger's films, Restrepo and Korengal. Brendan was also featured in another documentary called The Last Patrol and in Junger's book, War.
Brendan and I discuss good music, the worst parts of combat, the difficulty of coming home, and how war feels more human than modern American society. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
