This YouTube In Session Veterans Day Special features Shawn Ryan interviewing Sean Parnell, a former Army Ranger-qualified infantry officer, about his 485 days of continuous combat in Afghanistan. Parnell recounts the brutal experiences of his unit, the Outlaw Platoon, detailing the heavy cost of war, including an 85% casualty rate and his own three wounds, for which he received two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart. The discussion extends to the meaning of service, the challenges veterans face returning home, and lessons for the civilian population. Parnell, author of the bestselling book 'Outlaw Platoon,' now serves as Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs and is a leading veterans advocate.
