Episode 262 – The Fog of War and Humanity with Lt. Col. Chad Lennon (Part 2)
In this gripping continuation, host Richard Acritelli sits down with Lieutenant Colonel Chad Lennon, U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Suffolk County Legislator, to explore his deployment to Afghanistan. From months of grueling training at Camp Pendleton to the harsh deserts of Helmand Province, Lennon shares first-hand accounts of convoy operations, IED strikes, and the daily realities of life in a war zone.
He reflects on the poppy trade fueling the Taliban, the devastation of burn pit exposure, and the long-term health struggles faced by his fellow Marines. With candor and detail, Lennon also opens up about the challenges of returning home, coping with PTSD, and carrying the weight of combat into civilian life.
This episode offers a raw, unfiltered look at modern warfare, sacrifice, and resilience—an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand the human side of America’s longest war.
