Episode 89: Sebastian Junger on Life, Death, Love and Freedom

The great author ("The Perfect Storm," "War," "Tribe") and filmmaker ("Restrepo," "Korengal") came to Fort Bragg to speak with host Joe Buccino for episode 89 of the 18th Airborne Corps Podcast. The conversation got real deep real quick. Sebastian talked about big topics: the meaning of life, the beginning and the end of the war in Afghanistan, the role of society in human evolution. He also spoke about his divorce, his new marriage, and becoming a Dad for the first time at age 55. And then he described a stunning, bizarre, life-changing experience he had last year that you'll have to hear from him in this episode. We just won't be able to do it any justice here. Whether you or not you've read Sebastian's work, we'll say this: this is a hell of an episode. The 18th Airborne Corps podcast is the official program of the US Department of Defense. Recorded on Fort Bragg, North Carolina, we release new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. The podcast, hosted by Joe Buccino, covers insight from history, news of the day, and professional development and often features the Nation's top military leaders.
