Iraq War Vet and Iraqi Tourist Squash Their Beef | Drop A Pin Ep. 24
In this episode of Drop A Pin, Donnie Does and Uncle Chaps are joined by comedian, world traveler, and globetrotting storyteller Giulio Gallarotti (@notjulio) to talk about the wild trip: vacationing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, you read that right.
Chaps reflects on his time in Iraq through the lens of combat as a Marine, while Donnie and Giulio hilariously recount their civilian travels to the very same regions—not as soldiers, but as tourists. From ancient ruins to modern-day chaos, they compare what it's like to visit these countries with wildly different perspectives. 🌍✈️💥
Topics include:
Giulio’s bold decision to vacation in Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Touring Baghdad vs. surviving Fallujah 🇮🇶
How travel changes your worldview—even in warzones
Cultural gems, local hospitality, and surreal moments in conflict regions
Comedy, courage, and how far curiosity will take you
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to visit places most people only see in headlines, this episode will open your eyes—and probably make you laugh. It’s a wild, thoughtful, and unexpectedly inspiring ride.
