Breaking "Innocence": A Unique Perspective on Being a Woman Deployed in Afghanistan with Savannah Cannon (Explicit Language)


Listen Later

I am super pumped about this episode today. My guest is good friend and fellow Marine Savannah Cannon.

I served with Savannah in 2007-11 and I wanted to bring her on so that she could talk more about her upcoming book, Breaking Innocents. When Savannah originally released it I could not put it down. Savannah’s book is unique, serious… there is nothing out there like it. I describe it as Jarhead meets Fifty Shades of Grey. And what I found the most interesting was that I saw a lot of me in her initial stages of joining the military. I appreciated how she paints herself as the antihero, but I think that it’s very special in that you get to have this unique perspective of what it is like to be a female in the military. It is well written, and a lot of what she has experienced throughout her life is still relevant and powerful today.
