TFB Behind The Gun Podcast Episode #7: Miles Vining from TFB & TFBTV
Hello everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Behind The Gun podcast. Last week we spoke with two of TFB’s editors, Matt and Hrachya. This week we get a rare chance to nail down long-time TFB and TFBtv contibutor Miles Vining. Miles is a man-of-the-world who is highly knowledgeable in firearms found in Middle East and South East Asia conflicts. When he’s not dropping videos at TFBTV, Miles is active in humanitarian relief efforts overseas and publishing nerdy (but interesting) content at the Silah Report.

The advancement of anti-materiel weapons and tactics in the Middle East makes sense from the standpoint of not aiming directly at a shared-faith believer (if what I've read is true as to why Muslim vs Muslim combatants don't really aim as they fire). Taking out enemy equipment would most likely be seen as fair game then.
Great podcast as always!
Interesting podcast. Miles, rather than working with the US Army and Kurds and other ISIS allies, have you considered working with the legitimate Syrian government? This is the government actual Syrians support, rather than the Kurdish invaders and ISIS dogs. Just a thought.
