"The most bracingly honest, refreshing account of the Afghan war" (Sebastian Junger, New York Times? bestselling author) from a Marine Corps Combat Cameraman and director of the acclaimed documentary Combat Obscura. At just eighteen years old, Miles Lagoze joined the Marine Corps a decade after the war began and found himself surrounded by people not unlike those he'd left behind at home-aimless youth searching for stability, community, and economic security. Deployed to Afghanistan as a Combat Cameraman-an active-duty videographer and photographer-Lagoze produced slick images of glory and heroism for public consumption. But his government-approved footage concealed a grim reality. Here, Lagoze pulls back the curtain and illustrates the grisly truth of the longest war in American history. As these young men and women were deployed to an unfamiliar country half a world away-history's "graveyard of empires"-they carried the scars of the fractured homeland that sent them. Lagoze shows us Marines straddling the edge of chaos. We see forces desensitized to gore and suffering by the darkest reaches of the internet, unsure of their places in an unraveling world and set further adrift by the uncertain mission to which they had been assigned abroad. Whistles from the Graveyard: My Time Behind the Camera on War, Rage, and Restless Youth in Afghanistan shows the parts of the Afghanistan War we were never meant to see-Afghan locals and American infantry drawn together by their fears of the ghostly, ever-present terror of the Taliban; moments of dark resignation as the devastating toll of years in war's crossfire reveals itself between bouts of adrenaline-laced violence; and nights of reckless, drug-fueled abandon to dull the pain. In full, vivid color, Miles Lagoze shows us an oft-overlooked generation of young Americans we cast out into the desert, steeped in nihilism, and shipped back home with firsthand training in extremism, misanthropy, and insurrection.

Miles Lagoze is a retired Marine Corps combat cameraman, and the director of the documentary "Combat Obscura." He is a vocal critic of the U.S. military and U.S. foreign policy. His latest book which expands on his experience entitled "Whistles from the Graveyard" is out now.

Combat Obscura is a documentary shot on the ground in Afghanistan at the height of the war. In this episode...

WARNING: This episode discusses violence in war, suicide, depression and drug use.By the time he was 21-years-old, Thomas Burke Jr. had experienced enough trauma for a lifetime. After enlisting in the Marine Corps straight of high school, his deployments exposed him to horrors that dragged him down into what felt like an inescapable darkness. His journey is filled with pain and grief, struggles with depression and addiction, and attempts of taking his own life. He emerged from those depths a pastor, and a fierce advocate for veterans fighting the same battles he did. This is the story of what happened to an 18-year-old sent overseas – and the changed man who came back.RELATEDListen to our episode Facing Trauma with Jason KanderWatch the Trailer for Combat Obscura

The war documentary Combat Obscura shows us boredom, bullshitting, firefights and smoking hash. The footage came from the video that Marine Corps veteran and filmmaker Miles Lagoze shot while deployed in Afghanistan with Combat Camera. We talked with him about the incredible stories in the film and the friction it caused within the Marine Corps and the Pentagon before it was released.

Round 0: Kate explains how she broke her nose during a Monday morning briefingRound 1:The Marine Corps Commandant personally invited MARSOC Trailblazer to become an officer but she wanted that sweet, sweet DD214 more than a butter barRound 2: Miles Lagoze, the film maker and Marine who shot the documentary Combat Obscura, joins us to talk about the process of the film and the reaction its received.Round 3: The Air Force should be the envy of all other branch for at least a moment. They are gonna do a gender neutral fitness for every single airmen. Next up, get rid of the age standards.Round 4: Hotel Workers were fired after posting a sign that said they'd no longer be serving military members or families at their hotel bar. Can we really blame them? A deep dive is needed. 

Round 1: The VA is approving drugs that fight depression. That's great, but just let us smoke weed already! We're tryna blaze up, broRound 2: We interview New York Congressman Max Rose about his military service, life in politics, and why his achievements make us feel like some baby backed bitches.Round 3: President Trump… Please. Stop talking about John McCain. In the words of longtime stoolie Elsa from Frozen: Let It Go.Round 4: We all watched Combat Obscura and have some thoughts. Spoiler alert: Chaps (maybe?) cried in the recap 

In the aftermath of the tragic and horrendous massacres in New Zealand, we witnessed what you might describe as performative innocence on the part of people who traffic in Islamophobia. However, some young heroes were not having it — yes, we’re talking about Egg Boy and Leen Dweik, two beacons of hope in an otherwise garbage discourse. This week, Francis and Nate discuss why it’s good to confront public figures and terrible politicians, whether it’s speaking to them sternly (in Chelsea Clinton’s case) or decorating them with an egg (in Australian white nationalist senator Fraser Anning’s case). This episode also includes an interview between Nate and Miles Lagoze, the director of the Combat Obscura documentary. Miles explains why he decided to make a feature film out of combat camera footage, why the Marine Corps tried to censor the film, and why his opinions on the war have changed as he’s educated himself. That interview starts at 36:29, and you can stream Combat Obscura here: https://www.amazon.com/Combat-Obscura-Miles-Lagoze/dp/B07N8P93XP/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=combat+obscura&qid=1553089824&s=gateway&sr=8-1 The film’s website is here. For this week’s bonus, Nate and Francis discuss the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic COMMANDO, and ask the important question: is it fascist?

Just out of high school, at the age of 18, Miles Lagoze enlisted in the Marine Corps. Lagoze was deployed to Afghanistan where he served as Combat Camera — his unit's official videographer, tasked with shooting and editing footage for the Corps’ recruiting purposes and historical initiatives. But upon discharging, Lagoze took all the footage he and his fellow cameramen shot, and he assembled quite simply the very documentary the Corps does not want you to see. COMBAT OBSCURA is a groundbreaking look at daily life in a war zone as told by the Marines themselves. More than a mere compilation of violence, the edit ingeniously repurposes the original footage to reveal the intensity and paradoxes of an ambiguous war from an unvarnished perspective. Director Miles Lagoze joins us to talk about his deployment in America’s longest war, adapting to a whipsaw life of boredom, camaraderie and death and training to become a filmmaker via the United States Marine Corp.
