Ep 551: Visual Friendlies Tally Target Vol 2 with TACP Ethan Brown

Author 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.
