What Soldiers Said About the Giants of Afghanistan Is Hard to Ignore | Joe Rogan

A Canadian machine gunner watched one man through his optics in Kandahar — and he still can't get over him. A C-130 pilot says he flew a body out of Bagram that he was told never to mention. A commander who flew missions there went pale when he was asked about it. And on paper, every official door gives the same two words. This is what the soldiers said about the giants of Afghanistan, in their own words — and what the record says back.
