Episode #40 Cope Wilson - Surviving War | Combat, Brotherhood & Loss

0:00 1:17:16

🎙️ In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Cope Wilson, a Canadian Special Forces Operator (CANSOF) with a 20-year military career, including 16 years in special operations.

Cope’s journey started in high school on 9/11—watching the Twin Towers fall, he walked out of class and enlisted in the Canadian military. Two decades later, he had deployed multiple times to Iraq, Afghanistan, and South America, facing some of the most dangerous missions imaginable.

This is an unfiltered, firsthand look at modern warfare, the challenges of special operations, and what it takes to survive in combat.

💡 This episode covers: 👉 9/11 & the moment Cope knew he had to enlist 👉 The path from infantry to Canadian Special Operations 👉 Deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan & South America 👉 Engagements with insurgents and the reality of combat 👉 Life after the military & transitioning out of Special Forces

This isn’t just another war story—it’s the raw truth about the sacrifices, struggles, and brotherhood forged on the battlefield.
