We trace a Muslim infantryman’s path from the Iraq surge and a life at a Baghdad outpost to a long run in New Jersey law enforcement, a brutal mental health spiral, and a mission to fix how first responders get help. Combat detail, identity strain, and leadership failures collide with practical answers that save lives.
• growing up Muslim near NYC and the post‑9/11 backlash
• enlisting, Fort Riley train‑up, and surge deployment
• Baghdad patrols, EFPs, rockets, and JSS life
• leadership that leads from the front and why it matters
• intelligence work, a CIA twist, and a midnight extraction
• the moral fog of war and grief for a fallen cousin
• coming home to county jail work and court duty
• organizational stress in policing and weakened mentorship
• a suicide attempt, failed starts, and real treatment
• building a fast, discreet pipeline for first responder care
• licensing, stigma, and what leaders must change now
