A Grunt's Life Season 2 | What Winning Looks Like | FULL EPISODE | This is the Extended Cut version of Episode 1 from A Grunt's Life Season 2.

This is just episode 1 of a 10 episode series. Find the full, uncensored episode with a special first scene that was just too spicy for KZread by watching at veterantv.com
Disclaimer and Context -
This series was written by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They served as infantrymen at the tactical level and experienced the futility and pain of a poorly-executed counterinsurgency campaign first-hand.
This piece of art is a reflection of their thoughts, feelings and true-life experiences during this generational conflict.
Summary -
In this dark, irreverent, satire, we explore:
1) The failures of the Afghan war, starting with the absurdity of tasking infantry units to act as a police force in a foreign nation where their presence is largely unwanted.
2) The inevitable loss of humanity in a combat zone, on all sides, and the damage this does to one’s soul.
3)The Officer culture that delivered an inaccurate picture of the battlefield up the chain, all the way to the Pentagon, resulting in a significantly longer war and more deaths on all sides.
4) The Afghan culture and leadership that allowed child rape and sexual slavery to be an acceptable part of society, and the American govt’s willingness to accept this.
5) The racism that existed on both sides, focusing on the Afghan’s racism towards black Marines.
6) The unwillingness and inability of the Afghan police to take the defense of their country seriously.
We created this show for several reasons -
1) We created a show that allows us to relive the most intense, frustrating, and painful time of our lives with a sense of humor, so that we can attach a positive emotion to terrible memories, and give our brains and souls some relief from the anger. This is basic CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and is important for the mental health of our combat veterans.
2) This show can also provide a sense of validation, because many combat veterans had similar thoughts on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s important for them to know they are not alone in their thoughts.
3) This show celebrates the American warrior in a way that is rarely seen in film and television. It’s important to celebrate our warriors by acknowledging and even appreciating the psychotic, sociopathic, and bloodthirsty life they lead. Their mental derangement and bloodthirst leads to dead enemies, won battles, won wars, and ultimately, the sovereignty of our nation.
4) Although it is to the detriment of humanity - In war, nothing is more important than winning.
Sadly, the animals that we become in war will haunt us for the rest of our lives, leading to poor mental health and suicide. VET Tv acknowledges this in a way that no other organization has, in the hopes that we can understand combat veterans, and better help them.
My name is Donny O’Malley, I served in the Marine Corps as an Infantry Officer from 2009 to 2014 and more specifically served in Afghanistan in 2012 in Musa Quala, Now Zaad, and Zamindawar. The same places you’ll see in this show. While everything I do is with the collaboration of a large team of incredibly talented people, this show is my baby. I assume responsibility for all the criticism and controversy that this show may bring, so direct it to me. On the flip side, please direct your praises to the incredibly talented people who wrote, produced, shot, directed, edited, and acted in this show. They deserve all the credit for this masterpiece, so give it to them - especially the actors, who brought this show to life in an incredible way.

    You’re wrong. It ended in failure because of the failure to execute the general, and all the experts metrics. He and his vision aren’t displayed in the show to be stupid and misunderstood by people like you who think they’re smarter than they are. They’re there to show you how doomed it was. I won’t say we never should’ve been there, but we should’ve left a lot sooner. Ironically enough, look at the news and see what’s happening right now. See who the Taliban just killed. That right there was our mission, just happened with the wrong people in charge.

    Donny O'Malley, I've got a fun story for you. I was a firefighter/ paramedic that responded to a call at 5am for an elderly woman who lost consciences. She was in v-fib and we worked cpr on her for 30 minutes. Without thinking about it, I said aloud " well I guess you can't call this the living room floor anymore" and the woman's family heard me. Oops. My captain was waiting for me when I got back to chew my ass apart. My point is we all deal with death differently and if you are around it constantly, it changes you. God bless you bud. I know how cliché thanking service members is so instead I'll say I'm glad you made it back.
