Byron Russell (U.S. Army Special Forces) recounts a devastating highway crash in Iraq that killed four partnered Iraqi/Kurd assaulters and badly injured a U.S. teammate. He shares how grief, anger, and the reality that “it ain’t done till it’s done” changed the way his team worked—especially with their non-U.S. comrades who were assaulters first and family, not “attachments.” This is a story about responsibility, respect, and how loss rewires a unit’s culture. #GreenBeret #PartneredForces #VeteranVoices #LeadershipUnderFire #Iraq #MilitaryPodcast #DTDpodcast
