What's Going On In Afghanistan? [Audio Quicktakes] - On The Edge Podcast

This is an abbreviated version of the full discussion, also available here! It's a good one!

On this Episode we bring you a special roundtable discussion about the war & withdrawal in Afghanistan. Pulling from a diverse group of military members, we cover a lot on this episode. Our in-studio guest is Robbie Hugland, who served with the Air Force as an Electronic Warfare Operator in Afghanistan. This is his second appearance on our Podcast, so if you haven’t listened to the first one, check it out!

Sean joins us via Zoom, and served with the Army as a Human Resources Officer in-Country in Afghanistan. He talked to tons of soldiers coming in and out of Afghanistan & was privy to high level operational conversations at the Officer level.

Nathan also joins us via Zoom. He is a Marine and served as part of an Infantry Scout Squad that was on the front line for two separate Afghan deployments.

We get a diverse range of opinions on everything from Afghan mission creep, did we miss an opportunity to taking out Osama Bin Laden earlier, our military rules of engagement, life at a forward operating base (FOB), the life of the FOBBIT, and how our withdrawal could have been handled.
