In this compelling episode of "Talk'n the Beat," Officers Larry Reynolds and Kevin Coates engage with Scott Gatto, a former Marine whose service commenced dramatically on the morning of September 11, 2001, as he arrived at his base in Hawaii. His challenging deployment to Iraq, which included fierce combat in Falluja, was just the beginning of his journey.After leaving the service, Scott became acutely aware of the pervasive mental health struggles among his fellow Marines, many of whom were succumbing to the pressures through tragic means. Moved by their struggles and the insufficient support from the VA, he founded "Reunite the Fight." This vital organization, founded by veterans of intense combat in Fallujah, is dedicated to reducing veteran suicides through reunions, retreats, and ongoing support. These events do more than just bring veterans together; they restore the deep connections made in service, providing emotional and practical support, including job placements and counseling.In this first installment of a two-part series, Scott shares his profound experiences in the military, the formation of his nonprofit, and its crucial mission: to ensure no veteran feels alone in their battle back home.For more details on Scott's initiative and how it is making a difference, visit Reunite the Fight.Send Your Questions to Officers Larry and Kevin!Email us at ttb@sterlingheights.gov and your question may be used in an upcoming podcast episode.

Ucraina, Giovedi 24 febbraio 2022: Sono passati 100 giorni dall'inizio dell'invasione russa. questa data segna un prima e un dopo. Fino al 24 febbraio il grande pubblico sapeva poco dell'ucraina. 100 giorni dopo, come in ogni conflitto, dei luoghi sconosciuti o ignorati dai mass media sono diventati all'improvviso tristemente famosi: per fare qualche esempio MY Lai in vietnam, 2004 Falluja in Iraq, Duma in Siria. Oggi Bucha, Odessa, Zaporija, Arkhiv, Kherson, Dnipro. In questa puntata tenteremo di raccontare i cambiamenti più significativi in Europa e nel resto del mondo. Da 100 giorni la guerra domina la scena internazionale Molti governi hanno sfruttato questo silenzio sul resto del mondo per reprimere la dissidenza, violare i diritti umani, uccidere giornalisti scomodi.

Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Trauma Informed Care, Sensory Modulation, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, work for NAMI.· Vulnerability is a sign of strength and not of weakness.

What is your personal journey with PTSD?· Marine Corps 2001 – 2009. 4 years active duty. My first day of boot camp was just before 9/11. At 18 years old I was in the war zone at the Iraq-Kuwait border. I was in the front lines for 7 months in intense combat.· I returned to California and didn't have time to process.

On this week's Road To Hope:Vandals, in their ignorance, burn down the wrong "Lee" statue. Bless their hearts. The V.A. seems to be catching up to common sense matters. Finally.We talk to Ray about his time in Falluja. Spoiler: it's not a fun place to be.

Stefan Zaklin was a staff photojournalist for the European Pressphoto Agency. He covered several historical figures and moments including the war in Iraq, the Saddam Hussein trial, the White House for two presidents, traveled on Air Force One, covered Formula 1, major league baseball, and the NFL. He’s also earned several awards for his photography including: 3rd Place, General News for the 2004 World Press Photo First Place, 2002 Magazine Portrait and Personality The NPPA Best of Photojournalism Award and others Yet, he is most known for his striking image of a man in Tikrit, Iraq, detained by US soldiers who was kneeling in his yard before being taken away for questioning. Meanwhile, he is infamous for a 2004 image of a dead soldier, who was shot and killed in Falluja, in a house used as a base by insurgents. Listen to episode #3 if you’re curious about Stefan’s thoughts on any of the following questions: Tell me about your career in photojournalism. Why did you get into it? Why did you get out? What do you miss most? What was a highlight for you as a photojournalist with incredible access to presidents, athletes and/or a front-row seat to historical moments, etc.? What were you thinking when you took your two most most famous images? What impressed you most about everyday life in Iraq? Tell me about what it was like to cover the Saddam Hussein trials. What’s your take on the images we’ve been seeing coming from Syria/Turkey i.e. the two little boys?  What was it like to be in the White House? What’s your take on how the media is interacting with or not interacting with President Trump? How would you describe what you used to do to your two little girls? How does one go about pitching a career in photography to corporate giants looking for people leaders? What would you say to someone in corporate whose hobby is photography…yet they wish they could make it their full-time work? In this interview, you’ll also hear how Stefan would answer the following job interview question: Help me understand how you would address the changes that are wide-spread across media. For ex. we have several content aggregators such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. As a result, it’s getting harder for content producers to monetize content. What’s your thinking on this topic? You’ve been on both sides as a creator and person in charge of the commercialization of products. How should we be thinking about this?  

De prijswinnende Nederlandse journalist Bram Janssen reist voor persbureau Associated Press naar de grote brandhaarden in de wereld. Hij werkte nog maar een paar weken in het Midden-Oosten toen terreurgroep IS in 2014 het kalifaat uitriep, wat zijn werk tot op de dag van vandaag blijft beheersen. Hij was getuige van de eerste Amerikaanse luchtaanvallen, noteerde tal van horrorverhalen van vluchtelingen en volgde uitgebreid het Iraakse leger aan de frontlinies van Sinjar, Falluja en Mosul. Bram Janssen is net terug uit Irak en vertelt over zijn werk.

2014 svepte IS in över Irak och suddade ut gränsen mellan Irak och Syrien. Nu pågår en offensiv där IS tappar mark. Men det är ett djupt splittrat land som återtas. Veckans Radiokorrespondenterna börjar på en bro över Eufrat, där flyktingar från IS-kontrollerade Falluja köar för att komma bort från striderna mellan irakiska styrkor och terrorgruppen. När de väl lyckas lämna staden skiljs männen ut för särskilda säkerhetsundersökningar, och därifrån kommer inte alla tillbaka.

A week in the life of correspondents around the world. In this edition, the paint flies as the race for the presidency in Peru gets colourful; a battle for control of the Iraqi city of Falluja is about to begin - it could be a long and gruelling one, the ISIS fighters dug in there have had time to prepare for the arrival of the government forces; time is running out for the German authorities to prosecute those who committed mass murder in Hitler's time - we meet a man trying to hunt them down before it's too late; a barbed wire fence may be in place but migrants are making it through the border from Bulgaria to Serbia with help from smugglers ... and some policemen. And on a visit to Asmara, the Italianate capital city of Eritrea in north east Africa, our correspondent tries to find out the truth about allegations of repression, political prisoners and torture

My guest today is Australian journalist Michael Ware. He’s a former Bagdad Bureau chief for Time Magazine and war correspondent for CNN. In 2003 Michael Ware arrived in Baghdad as a novice reporter on a three-week assignment to cover the invasion of Iraq. He left seven years later, having gained unprecedented access to the Iraqi insurgency and American troops and scarred by having seen the unimaginable brutality of the group that eventually became ISIS. Now his story is told in a new documentary called ONLY THE DEAD SEE THE END OF THE WAR that airs Monday, March 28, at 9PM Eastern on HBO. On the podcast, Michael Ware talks about the time he was kidnapped and nearly beheaded by Al Qaeda in Iraq and he reveals how he became in his own words “obsessed” with the leader of that group Abu Mousab Al Zarqawi. He also talks about being embedded with U.S. marines during the grueling battle of Falluja and having a front row seat for the birth of the modern day terrorist nation state called ISIS. If you enjoyed this episode, then you can watch Michael Ware's film ONLY THE DEAD SEE THE END OF THE WAR tonight, Monday, March 28, at 9PM Eastern on HBO.  Or you can view it with a subscription to HBO NOW or HBO GO.

Om det våld som hotar när diktatorn faller. Reportage från Tripoli där Kadaffis flykt har lett till ett vakuum som blir farligare för varje dag. Hör också från Damaskus, där Assad klamrar sig kvar samtidigt som det irakiska sektkrigets skugga faller över de fortfarande hoppfulla demonstranterna. Samtal om sönderfall - kan stabiliteten överleva när diktaturernas hårda grepp äntligen släpper? Se vad som händer i Somalia? Vill ni att ert land blir som Somalia, eller Irak? Samma grupp som förstörde dessa länder är den som nu finns i Libyen och som vill att Libyen följer samma väg som Afghanistan och Somalia. Och så blir Bayda och Benghazi som Falluja. Det är samma gäng, samma grupp. Muammar Kadaffi i ett av sina upphetsade tal i februari, innan han själv tvingades på flykt och hans eget skräckvälde kollapsade. Rädslan har ackompanjerat de arabiska upproren som en återkommande refräng sedan det dramatiska året inleddes med den tunisiske diktatorn Ben Alis fall. Kanske inte så mycket för oss här i väst. Men i Mellanöstern har rädslan kastat sin mörka skugga över händelseförloppet, och då särskilt när hotade härskare talat.  Rädslan har varit diktatorernas effektivaste redskap för att befästa sin ställning mot medborgarna –  genom att hålla folket under ständig uppsikt och möta varje försök att ifrågasätta makten med brutal bestraffning. Men rädslan har också motiverat en slags omvänd – om än självpåtagen – legitimitet för regimer, som ser sig den enda garanten för folkets trygghet och för kontinuitet och stabilitet, såväl hemma som i regionen. För vad var väl Egyptens president Hosni Mubarak eller Tunisiens Ben Ali om inte ett värdefulla värn mot islamisterna och det oundvikliga kaos som skulle bryta ut utan dem vid rodret. Argument som fann välvilligt gensvar i omvärlden och som idag fortsätter att prägla synen på Syrien. Det gäller att till varje pris bevara den bräckliga balansen i regionen – och att undvika ett nytt Irak. Men nu, när fler och fler av dessa diktatorer faller uppstår frågan: hur mycket av rädslan bygger på skräckpropaganda och hur mycket finns det att rädas på riktigt? I Libyen har de senaste veckorna varit dramatiska – en utveckling som också sätter sina spår här i Sverige, där över tusen libyer lever i exil. Sara Wåhlin åkte till Brandbergen där hon hos familjen Harari mötte lättnad och glädje över Kadaffis fall men också en gnagande oro över vad som ska hända härnäst. I maj kunde ni här i Konflikt höra frilansreportern Urban Hamid som följde rebellerna i de strategiskt viktiga Nafusabergen i västra Libyen. Då väntade de otåligt på order att bege sig mot Tripoli. En av de många frivilliga som anslöt sig till det väpnade Kaddafi-motståndet var den 33-årige oljeingenjören Issam från Tripoli. Hade jag stannat i Tripoli hade jag blivit fången i mitt eget hus, aldrig fått se solen igen, berättar Issam, för hade jag gått ut hade jag tvingats bevittna Gadaffis soldaters illdåd, agerat och själv dödats. Tre månader senare fanns rebellerna från Nafusabergen med bland de många olika motståndsgrupper som snabbt ryckte fram och intog större delen av huvudstaden. Men Issam var inte längre med. Han hade stupat, fick Urban Hamid veta när han återvände till Libyen för ett par veckor sedan. Han kom till ett Tripoli rusigt av seger men där orosmolnen också började hopa sig. Efter att ha följt kriget i Irak på nära håll, fanns det en del som kändes bekant men också avgörande skillnader. Den gångna veckan har vi sett vad som säkert bara är början på en allt tätare skytteltrafik till Libyen. Höjdpunkten var när de första västledarna, från Frankrike och Storbritannien besökte landet i onsdags. Nicolas Sarkozy och David Cameron – de ivrigaste påhejarna av Nato-insatsen i Libyen, togs emot av jublande personal på ett sjukhus i Tripoli. Och i skarp kontrast till sin föregångare Tony Blairs och andra västledares tidigare besök hos Kadaffi för att välkomna honom tillbaka in i den internationella gemenskapens värme – så hyllade nu Cameron Kadaffi-motståndarnas stora mod. Och i går följdes deras besök av den turkiske premiärministern Erdogan. Han hyllade martyrerna som dött i kampen för demokrati. Och med udden tydligt riktad mot Syrien, förklarade han att ledare som förtrycker sitt folk oundvikligen går samma öde till mötes som Kadaffi. Som ännu ett steg i det internationella erkännandet av det libyska övergångsrådet NTC lättade FN.s säkerhetsråd igår på delar av sanktionerna mot Libyen. Men kampen är långt ifrån över - det betonar såväl ledare för den libyska oppositionen som de utländska besökarna. Igår pågick hårda strider om städerna Sirte och Bani Walid som fortfarande kontrolleras av Kadaffi-trogna styrkor. Men tillståndet inom rebellrörelsen väcker också frågor - rivaliserande fraktioner kämpar allt mer öppet om makten och det finns väpnade grupper som inte alls vill inordna sig under övergångsrådet. Risk för splittring samtidigt som utmaningarna inför framtiden är många och stora - val ska hållas, en ny konstitution författas, grundläggande samhällsinstitutioner - ett fungerande rättsväsende, en enhetlig säkerhetsapparat bejöver komma på plats - och vad ska hända med Kadaffi-regimens medlöpare, hur ska man ta itu med de allvarliga övergrepp som Amnesty International i veckan rapporterade har begåtts på båda sidor under revolten? Ett annat land där den irakiska skuggan vilar särskilt tungt är just Syrien - närmaste granne till Irak dit en och en halv miljon irakier har tagit sin tillflykt sedan den amerikanska invasionen 2003. I ett land som redan präglas av rädslan för splittring och instabilitet på grund av rivalitet mellan många olika etniska grupper har de irakiska flyktingarnas närvaro spätt på den oron. Det har nu gått sex månader sedan revolten mod Bashar al-Assads regim bröt ut. Han biter sig envist kvar vid makten. Men trots regimens våldsmma framfart mot demonstranterna – minst 2 600 har hittills dödats enligt FN beräkningar – fortsätter protesterna lika envetet vecka efter vecka. Gäst i studion är Emma Jörum, statsvetare vid Uppsala universitet, som har forskat om konflikthantering och konflikter med etniska motsättningar. För bara några veckor sedan disputerade hon på sin avhandling om Syrien. Programledare: Daniela Marquardt Producent: Ivar Ekman
