What it’s like to be a veteran of a war that never ends
Clip: 5/26/2017 | 3m 3s
One soldier’s perspective on being a veteran of war that never ends.
Sometimes author Brian Castner asks himself, “How many tours would have been enough to know, deep down in my bones, that I had done my part?” After three tours, Castner got home from Iraq a decade ago. But the war isn’t over; it’s just gone on without him. Castner gives his humble opinion on why being a veteran today feels like having unfinished business.
