Steve Bichler served with a military transition team (MiTTs) during the last year of US occupation as a communications officer in the US Air Force. During this time, Steve worked closely with Iraqi government officials and, by extension, interpreters from Iraq who signed up to help with the transition. One of these interpreters was Azeez "Simon" Alrifaie, who was featured in an earlier podcast series.
Please join us as Steve shares his experiences with the MiTTs team in 2011 as the US forces pulled out of Iraq and how it affected him to learn of the fate of many of of Iraqis he served with and advised, including Azeez who was featured in Series 35 of The Warrior Next Door podcast.
