Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. William Swenson joins Chad Robichaux for an unfiltered conversation about courage, sacrifice, and accountability in war. Swenson recounts the harrowing seven-hour battle in Afghanistan that earned him the nation’s highest military award, where he risked his life to save others while outnumbered and under fire.

But this is more than a story of battlefield heroism, it’s about the hidden costs of war, the failures of leadership, and why he chose to speak out when others stayed silent. Swenson opens up about the broken rules of engagement, the reality of Afghan forces, and the lasting burden carried by those who fought.
