In this episode Ward goes in depth about his time as an embedded journalist in Afghanistan in 2010. Ward and his managing editor, Christian Lowe, go from Kabul to Bagram to FOB Salerno to COP Yosef Khel to capture the war up close. They also travel to Kandahar and Bastion before returning to Kabul to interview General Stanley McChrystal at ISAF headquarters in what turns out to be one of the last interviews he gave before he was fired because of a "Rolling Stone" feature.
This episode lays out evidence of how the outcome of the war in Afghanistan could have been determined more than 10 years ago based on what Ward saw and heard during his time there. It's also a detailed account of what life was like for our troops who served there.
