Thomas J. Brennan - Military Journalism in "The War Horse" & "Shadows of Fallujah" - The Daily Show
“We all struggle with survivor’s guilt.” Retired U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Thomas J. Brennan talks to Jon Stewart on Veterans Day about why he founded the award-winning nonprofit newsroom, The War Horse, to focus on the human impact of military service and raise awareness of issues faced by veterans and military families. They also discuss Brennan’s latest War Horse film, “Shadows of Fallujah,” in which he and his fellow platoon members open up for the first time about their experience fighting in the Battle of Fallujah in Iraq 20 years ago and healing from the losses of that battle.
