In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Kyle Wilson, a former Australian Army infantry soldier (2RAR) who deployed to East Timor and Afghanistan.
Kyle’s military career took him from a young, eager soldier to the harsh realities of war, engaging in intense firefights in Afghanistan and experiencing the deep psychological impact of combat. One night, just hours after taking a life in battle, he sleepwalked back into the firefight, weapon in hand, unknowingly ready to engage his own team—a terrifying moment that nearly ended in disaster.
This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about the mental battles that follow soldiers long after the shooting stops.
💡 This episode covers:
👉 Kyle’s journey from enlisting to deploying with 2RAR
👉 The realities of war in Afghanistan & East Timor
👉 The night he sleepwalked with a loaded weapon, still believing he was in combat
👉 The psychological toll of taking a life in war
👉 His time in military prison—what led to it and the lessons learned
👉 Life after the military & finding purpose beyond the battlefield
This isn’t just another war story—it’s the truth about combat, trauma, and the battles that never really end.
