Travis is a long-time Fight Story listener who reached out to see if his non-special ops story could be price our listener’s time. As a lot of our most devoted listeners know, as you write to me about this, we get many requests to share the tales of typical troopers and officers and what life was like for them whereas the Tier 1 and a pair of models have been working raids at night time.
This fight story delivers on what I consider is a quite common expertise for therefore many infantry officers when it comes to the way you lose troopers and nonetheless present up, the way you encourage individuals to maintain going within the face of never-ending days of assaults, and the way you lead with the soldier in thoughts and never your personal profession development.
Travis’ tales of management and loss give us distinctive perception into the world of an Infantry officer preventing within the post-9/11 period and I hope you take pleasure in this uncooked and really actual Fight Story as a lot as we did.
