Vi sendte danske soldater til Afghanistan for at vinde krigen mod terror og for at opbygge en nation med fred, demokrati og skolegang til piger. Sådan lød det fra det danske forsvar og vores politikere.For at lykkes havde vi allieret os med afghanere som Koka og Issa Khan, som regerede i Musa Qala, hvor de danske soldater holdt til. Men de to afghanske brødre havde en grim hemmelighed.Det viser den nye dokumentarfilm 'Bedraget i Helmand'. Nagieb Khaja dagens gæst i ‘Du lytter til Politiken'. Han har sammen med Martin Tamm Andersen instrueret dokumentarfilmen, hvor han møder Koka og Issa Khan og deres ofre.

Welcome to episode nineteen of the Lessons from the Cockpit Show! Flying in the F-15 is an ultimate thrill. I know because I've done it three times. But deployed duties where airmen, soldiers, sailors, and Marines solve the most complex puzzles having theater-wide effects are often the most rewarding. Lt Col Joe Katuzienski (retired) is one of those US Air Force airmen who impacted air warfare at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. Flying F-15 Eagles over Iraq in the first Gulf War, he deployed twice after the 2003 Shock and Awe campaign to Baghdad and the Combined Air and Space Operations Center in Qatar. Tazz's expertise impacted the way airpower affected soldiers and Special Forces on the ground. In this episode, Tazz explores how relationships, using all intelligence and weapons available and empowering your people saved lives and resources during the surges in Afghanistan and Iraq. Tazz now flies for one of the major US airlines. F-15C Eagle prints are available at Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. Thanks to Wall Pilot for sponsoring this episode of Lessons from the Cockpit. Prints of the Eagle jets from Langley and Kadena Tazz flew are available at Wall Pilot in four, six, and eight-foot lengths. Read more about Operation Marne Torch on Wikipedia.

The gangs back to fill you in on our scruples with some of the weirdest things to go down this week. We catch up early in the episode and share some military stories. Biden bombs Syria and we naturally have takes (21:10). We spend some time discussing the Middle East in general (31:00) and Drew takes us on a trip down memory lane to his time in Musa Qala, Afghanistan (44:00). We hit some other odds and ends but spend the last hour discussing Biden's new Dept. of Labor Chief economist pick Janelle Jones and the spat between Rand Paul and Rachel Levine. We hope you enjoy it, because we had a ball making it for you!

Patrick and Jacob start the second part of our series on Musa Qala and their brief respite from combat only to be thrown into the Sangin Valley where the Royal Marines had fought a stalemate for over 4 years.
