William C. Malone: What was it like to be a Canadian police officer in Afghanistan?
Show Notes

Episode 82 - Most Canadians know that we sent thousands of soldiers to Afghanistan beginning in 2002 to help fight Al Qaeda.  Far fewer know we sent hundreds of police officers as well.  This is the story of one of them, an RCMP officer who spent time there  in 2011-12 and wrote  a book about it.
