“Most of Afghanistan felt like training—until it didn’t.”
In this raw, behind-the-curtain conversation, Jon Hamilton shares what it's really like patrolling with Afghan forces, relying on drone feeds in real-time, and why many SF soldiers saw the fall of Afghanistan coming long before it happened.
🔥 What you never hear in the news about combat zones:
“You don’t put yourself in front of a guy you can’t trust. Period.”
“There was poop water floating around our living quarters. Three times a week.”
“They handed us boxes and said, ‘Those are the drones. Build them.’”
“The Taliban had more will to fight than the Afghan military we stood up.”
“It was all theater, and we were the actors.”
