How the Iraq war changed this Marine | Big Pod #12

Winston Tierney is a retired Lt. Colonel in the Marine Corp. who’s seen the Iraq war up close. What he saw changed his view on the war in Iraq and war in general, which eventually led him to write a book detailing his experience both on foreign and US soil.

He joined me on the podcast to talk about his time in Iraq, his experience with casualty assistance, and the morality of war.
