This week I am joined with Warren Stoddard, a Syria and Ukrainian veteran and published author. Following his time in college, Warren volunteered to fight with the YPG in Kurdistan after Turkey launched their invasion. While with the YPG he was wounded, returned to the states and recently volunteered to train the Ukrainian military. Additionally, Warren has published two books, A Good Place on the Banks of the Euphrates (a collection of short stories from his time in Syria), and No Birds in Yesterday (a western). We talk about:
- Fighting in Syria and interaction with the US military after being wounded
- Work in Ukraine
- Time as a writer
- Our current cultural shift
- And living life as an RPG
