A talk between Adrian Bonenberger of The WBT and Wesley Morgan, author of The Hardest Place: The American Military Adrift in the Pech Valley. The talk covers a lot of topics in Morgan's book, including the cultural feedback loop bringing movies into the military and the military into movies, how that plays out with the Taliban, units that "succeeded" with counter-insurgency or COIN versus those that did not, and many more. A wide-ranging conversation that extends far beyond the book's focus of The Pech Valley itself.
