I believe that we were fighting in someone else's country and they were defending it in a way.I'll take my hats off to them because they fought just as hard as us.
Imagine sitting down with a WWII gunner and a modern-day battalion leader. That's exactly what you'll get in this episode of 'The Gap'. John, who served as a gunner during World War II, and Ste, who led battalions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo, share their gripping tales from the frontlines. But this conversation goes beyond the battlefield.
John and Ste dive into how soldiers are perceived in society, the toll of warfare on mental health, and the complex journey of life after service. They also discuss addiction and how they managed to cope with the stresses of war. You'll hear about their lucky escapes and the skills that kept them alive in dangerous situations.
The episode wraps up with a heartfelt call to support veterans, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the human side of war.
