Being a DEA Special Agent is a dangerous business. Being in Afghanistan and fighting the Taliban is a dangerous as it can get. Joe was on his second tour and pinned down by machine gun and small arms fire when he was shot through the head exfiltrating from the battlefield. He survived, overcame PTSD, and serves as an inspiration for anyone looking to beat the odds.
