Listen to former Army Captain Erik Edstrom share his experiences in the military, including how he helped get his interpreter out of Afghanistan.

He talked about how he thinks the government has gone wrong when it comes to the military.

Edstrom was born and raised in Stoughton, Massachusetts, and graduated from West Point before he was deployed to Afghanistan as an infantry officer.

Edstrom’s latest book is “Un-American: A Soldier’s Reckoning of our Longest War.”
