Podcasts about friendlies

Send us a textAuthor and former TACP Ethan Brown returns to break down Visual Friendlies, Tally Target Volume Two and the work behind documenting the post-9/11 wars the right way. This isn't a highlight reel of gunfights—it's a deep look at JTACs as humans, coalition partners, policy failures, surges, forever wars, and the weight carried by the quiet professionals who enabled everything from combat to humanitarian missions. Ethan explains why Volume Two goes beyond tactics, why Volume Three is darker and angrier, and how writing these stories became both catharsis and obsession. If you care about accuracy, history, and honoring the work without Hollywood nonsense, this episode matters.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and Ethan's return 02:10 Volume Two overview and release timeline 05:00 Why the stories had to get more human 08:30 Coalition JTACs and national caveats 12:45 Surges, policy shifts, and ground truth 17:30 Why the “forever war” never really ended 21:40 The emotional cost of telling these stories 26:00 Extortion 17 and unseen suffering 30:30 Lessons passed down in combat 35:00 Quiet professionals vs silent professionals 40:30 Volume Three, anger, and unfinished business 45:00 Writing history before it disappears 49:00 What comes next: Silent Professionals 54:00 Final thoughts and where to find the books
