I write about military affairs

[sbauer]

Hi everyone -- I am a journalist writing a magazine article, and likely a book, about US involvement in Syria. I'm looking to chat with some people who have served there about their experiences. All communications will be off the record unless explicitly agreed otherwise. Anyone who would like to know more can reach out to me by private message .

Mod edit.

Judge for yourself if you want to talk with this guy on or off the record. Private prisons are shrouded in secrecy. I took a job as a guard to get inside—then things got crazy

I protected everyone's identities in that story unless they gave me permission later.

I enjoyed that article when it first came out. It made me sick to my stomach but was enlightening. Best of luck.

Awesome! OP had an opportunity to respond, a hearty welcome to him then.

Any further discussion about articles, sources, etc can be had in a new thread.
