Throughout his time in Afghanistan, Braun found "Rocky" to be honest, loyal, and trustworthy. Now, as Afghanistan falls further into chaos, Braun is worried about his friend and his family. Hear the story of how far Afghanistan had come, and how far it has fallen, from a person who saw it firsthand on this episode of Rick & Bubba University.
