In this episode, Tyler and Jose host an open forum on Afghanistan. A special report called The Gray Zone from USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command) briefed across agencies characterized the last 100 years of conflict. USSOCOM reported nine losses, 43 ties, and only 12 wins. Increasingly the U.S. finds itself containing conflicts rather than resolving, and enemies adapt in novel ways, making traditional doctrines nearly obsolete. Iraq and Afghanistan are among these 57 instances of conflict characterized in the Gray Zone Report. So what does it mean for the U.S. moving forward? And what does it mean for Veterans and the Operational Community who fought in those conflicts? In this forum, veterans from across the Marine Corps share their concerns.
