The Netflix documentary series Marines follow the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit as they prepare for a high-stakes training exercise that tests their readiness “in the air, on land and sea.” The series follows a group of enlisted men and officers  - snipers, gunners, and pilots - as they push themselves physically and emotionally in order “to claim the title of United States Marine.” 

In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews Director Chelsea Yarnell and author & Executive Producer Sebastian Junger.

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Marines yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on.
