  • 124. Australia's War in Afghanistan—Told From Inside the SASR
    2025/12/15
    In this episode of ‘The Voices of War’, Maz sits down with two former Australian special operations officers whose careers unfolded at the sharp end of Australia’s longest war in Afghanistan. Vando served 24 years in the Australian Army, including 16 in special operations with the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR). Across 10 deployments to Iraq, East Timor, the Solomon Islands, North Africa and three tours of Afghanistan, he held command at troop, squadron and senior staff levels, carrying responsibility across tactical and operational decision-making within the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG). Brett came into special operations through law and intelligence. He first served as the principal intelligence officer (S2) at 1 Commando Regiment and later as the S2 for SASR, before transferring to the Legal Corps. In that role, he advised special operations forces on the laws of armed conflict, rules of engagement, and some of the most complex legal and ethical challenges of the Afghanistan war. His five deployments included Kosovo, three tours of East Timor and an extended tour of Afghanistan. Together, they reflect on their involvement in the award-winning documentary ‘Bravery and Betrayal’, unpacking how sustained operational tempo, political decision-making, legal constraints, and leadership silence shaped the war in Afghanistan and what those choices cost individuals, families, veterans, and institutions. This is a conversation about systems, not slogans; about war as it was lived, not how it was sold. Key Moments: - Why special forces became the ‘force of choice’ - Endless rotations and the absence of genuine rest - The impact of ‘catch and release’ policy on decision-making - How killing became routine over time - The human and institutional fallout of the IGADF inquiry - Moral injury and leadership silence that hurt deepest - Why their story matters now Resources & Links ‘Bravery and Betrayal’ documentary WEBSITE https://wanderingwarriors.org/bravery-betrayal-the-documentary/ BRAVERY & BETRAYAL 2025 | Trailer https://youtu.be/-3rS0h-pjqc?si=4_zStLj4KxR7w1xL STREAMING Madman Streaming https://www.madman.com.au/bravery-and-betrayal/ Prime https://www.primevideo.com/region/fe/detail/0I6EPX8QDL0CP8HN9HQTSENWY5?ref_=atv_sr_fle_c_Tn74RA_1_1_ Apple TV https://tv.apple.com/au/movie/bravery-and-betrayal/umc.cmc.1vql2nd3lpc381hnq1xjmxjcx Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuzpNCIB_P0 Fetch https://www.fetchtv.com.au/movie/details/3011300/bravery--betrayal Docplay https://www.docplay.com/shows/bravery-betrayal Vimeo https://vimeo.com/ondemand/braverybetrayal/1129397949 DONATE https://wandering-warriors.mygiveeasy.com/bravery-betrayal/donate 🎧 Listen to more from The Voices of War Website (episodes, show notes, transcripts, extras): https://thevoicesofwar.com Full episodes & archives: https://thevoicesofwar.com 📰 Newsletter Reflections, episode drops, and behind the scenes notes: https://thevoicesofwar.substack.com 📺 Subscribe to the channel Long‑form conversations on war, peace and everything between: @thevoicesofwar 📱 Follow on social Twitter / X: https://x.com/thevoicesofwar Instagram: / the_voices_of_war LinkedIn: / the-voices-of-war 📘 About Brett & Vando Vando - SASR Troop/Squadron Commander featured in Bravery and Betrayal documentary. 16 years SASR across 10 deployments.

  • 123. Israel Is Collapsing From Within - Ilan Pappé Explains Why
    2025/12/01

    Is Israel beginning to collapse from within?

    In this in depth conversation, renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé explains why he believes Zionism has entered its final phase, how Israeli society is disintegrating internally, and what a just future for Palestinians and Israelis could look like.

    Pappé, director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies and author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic and Israel on the Brink, draws on decades of archival research to argue that Israel is a classic settler colonial project built on ethnic cleansing, apartheid and permanent military rule over Palestinians. He details the social implosion inside Israel, the growing split between secular and religious Jews, the role of the U.S. and European powers, and why he thinks decolonization is inevitable.

    We discuss 1948 and the Nakba, the Gaza war, accusations of genocide, the collapse of the two-state solution, one democratic state between the river and the sea, Jewish-Palestinian coexistence, and what real decolonization might require in practice.

    For anyone trying to understand the future of Israel-Palestine, this is an unfiltered, long form analysis from one of the conflict’s most important dissident historians.

  • 122. The Political Insider: How Social Media Is Quietly Rewiring UK Democracy with Mike Martin MP
    2025/11/17

    Is the UK really on the brink of collapse - or are we victims of our own narratives?

    In this revealing conversation, Dr. Mike Martin, former British Army officer, author of Why We Fight, and now Member of Parliament, breaks down what’s really driving Britain’s political, social, and moral crisis.

    From the rise of authoritarian narratives to the weaponization of social media, Mike reveals why our biggest enemy isn’t immigration or the economy, it’s misinformation. Drawing from his experience on the battlefield and now in Parliament, Mike explains:

    ⬛ Why migration isn’t the crisis we think it is

    ⬛ How social media and foreign influence are polarizing the West

    ⬛ Why “the House of Commons is just theatre”

    ⬛ How the real work of politics happens behind the scenes

    ⬛ The connection between Ukraine, Gaza, and the global information war

    ⬛ What gives him hope about Britain’s future

    A candid, no-nonsense conversation that cuts through political noise to uncover the psychology of modern conflict, the truth about migration, and what leadership really looks like. If you want to understand how narratives shape nations, and how to fix a broken system from within, this is a must-listen.
