This episode contains strong language and scenes of war that some may find distressing. \n\nIn 2010, James Dao, then a military affairs reporter for The New York Times, began following a battalion of U.S. soldiers headed for Afghanistan.\n\nTwo soldiers caught his attention: Adrian Bonenberger, a single, 32-year-old captain, and Tamara Sullivan, a 30-year-old sergeant and mother of two.\n\nAs President Biden prepares to withdraw troops from Afghanistan this fall, we revisit those interviews and follow up with the two soldiers.\n\nGuest: James Dao, a National editor for The New York Times.
