Talking through episode six (Stay Frosty) of Generation Kill, Sayre and I get into the conversation around the men versus the mission. Col Joe Dowdy's removal from command of the 1st Marine Regiment was highlighted in this episode by General Mattis. We get into the 'no right answer' topic of how and when to choose aggressiveness over caution on the battlefield and just how important it is to trust in your junior leaders.
