Episode 9: Prevail or Fail

  • Summary

  • David shares his observations of what war is like for individuals in combat who fight on our behalf. The people who carry what they need on their backs, coming face to face with the enemy and whose lives haven’t changed much since the Roman legions. David learned their stories by being there to listen and hear their impressions of the first major conventional battle of the US war in Afghanistan at Landing Zone Ginger on the outset of Operation Anaconda, in early March 2002. When their Sergeant Major said “you either prevail or fail”, they stepped into battle out of a feeling that they owe it to the country, an obligation as a citizen, and with respect for the idea of service to a noble ideal that is defending the nation.
