This week we continue our talk with US Army veteran Luke Harms.

Harms served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the US Army and then returned to Afghanistan as a civilian contractor.

Harms shares his unique perspective on the war and the military meta-narrative and the struggle he faced adjusting from living in a combat zone to civilian life.

How can we better process guilt and tragedy in our lives and the lives of those around us?
How has nationalism and/or American exceptionalism shaped your view of the current war on terror?
