Elliot Ackerman joins the program.

The mental toll of war on service members and veterans is hard to overstate. Someone who has experienced that firsthand is former marine and bestselling author Elliot Ackerman. He served five tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and he has now helped hundreds of Afghans escape, in what he calls a “digital Dunkirk.” Ackerman speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about how vets like him view the end of this war.
