Veteran opens up about what he witnessed serving in Iraq and Afghanistan

Retired Captain John Branson spoke with Fox Nation about his time serving in the Marines and opened up about what he experienced in the war-torn countries.

"For us, Ramadi was sort of like a fistfight in a phone booth," Branson said." We never knew where the ambush was going to come from."  "You’re walking down a city, it could come from any window, and they could hit you from the window with small arms, fire, an RPG, an IED in the trash, and then they would disappear out of the back of that building," he recalled. "The whole thing would be over in three minutes, but it was incredibly violent, and there wasn’t a lot you could do about it."  Branson went from serving in the most dangerous city on Earth to what journalist Rick Leventhal described as likely the second most dangerous place on Earth: Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
