Description

Michael Hanthorne is back on the show and it's a good one! We recorded this episode after Christmas when I traveled home for the holidays and we get into different aspects of the military, lots of car stuff, current events and more. I give a quick description of the targeting process downrange and the different roles other members of 3rd Battalion 6th Marine Regiment and I had during one of our strikes. This strike involved an investigation because of an alleged civilian casualty but it was clear from the video feeds that insurgents brought an injured girl from elsewhere. If you haven't listened to Michael's full story then go back to Ep. 004 and hear him talk about his time in the Marines that included two tours to Iraq and his participation in Phantom Fury as mortuary affairs.
