Marjah Marine Infantry Squad Leader Ryan Rogers Part One | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 171
The Battle of Marjah. A knock-down, drag-out, world class brawl. Featuring over 15,000 soldiers from all over the world, it was the largest joint operation in Afghanistan up to that point. And Ryan Rogers knows it better than most - he was a Marine Infantry Squad Leader for the whole damn thing. He was on the ground for the first day, and the next, and the day after, making the sort of decisions most wouldn't dare face. He's also the host of the Choices Not Chances podcast, and he's the author of 'Lions of Marjah', where he retells the events of the entire engagement from his perspective on the ground.
Believe it or not, there's more to this story than meets the eye - a fleet anti-terrorism security team, a surprising turn in the boxing ring, and a unique appreciation of just how powerful the men and women of the armed forces really are all play a part in Ryan's tale. Let's meet the man.
