Many veterans want to tell their stories, but don't know how to start. Families often want to know about what their relatives did in the service. It's too late to find out after your veteran has passed.
In this episode, I offer some perspective on how to converse with veterans about their experiences, why it can be hard for them to open up, and tips for conducting positive interviews.

This is the first of several episodes I'll be presenting over this 30th anniversary of the Gulf War. In this episode, I examine the role that the Iran-Iraq War played in Saddam Hussein's decision to invade Kuwait.
I provide an analysis of the two warring armies in the Iran-Iraq War, how they adapted, and the techniques each used to gain battlefield superiority. I also look at the Iraqi Republican Guards, which conducted the invasion. I close the episode with an overview of the U.S. Army of the 1980s.
All the best, Mark

I'm a combat veteran and the son of a combat veteran who committed suicide. I've had too many friends and battle buddies who killed themselves.
This is my inaugural episode of the Fix Bayonets podcast – Military history you didn't learn in school. I'm dedicating this episode to the service members and veterans who are fighting to live. There is always hope.
If you care about our service members and veterans, I hope you'll check out this episode. It's that important.
Never forget, Mark
