Medusa. Overwhelming enemy numbers. Shocking setbacks. Facing extreme danger without fear. Victory in spite of the odds….just a few of the many tough topics you are getting ground truth on today. Operation Medusa was out in Afghanistan. Our guest this week, Green Beret Greg Stube, was there when the epic Battle of Sperwan Ghar went down. Imagine battling an enemy every second of every hour of every day…day after day after day for a week. Add into that the enemy doesn’t just outnumber you- they unleash overwhelming numbers at you. The Green Berets never yielded, they never gave up. They fought on. So much so, they ran out of ammo 4 times. Ammo had to be air dropped to them 4 times so this small number of Green Berets could carry on courageously stopping the Taliban. During this battle, Stube suffered wounds that are beyond imagining from a remotely detonated IED and enemy fire. The wounds were so serious, it could have been fatal. His leg was essentially entirely blown off and that is not all he has bravely endured and overcome. An unstoppable Green Beret, Stube serve the community in a valuable way. He now shares his expertise honed in 23 years of service with those who protect the homeland. Join Allison while she hangs out with Greg at a DEA facility. We grab him to give you some special direct access inside the Green Beret world during a break and before he heads off the next day to teach at the FBI. Discover some of the secrets to how Green Berets are so unstoppable. Greg’s new book, Conquer Anything, is now out. After today’s show, you’ll find that Greg doesn’t just talk the advice in the book – he walks it and has conquered a wide range of things. Don’t’ miss his icebreaker about fish soup on a mission…you’ll never look at fish soup the same way again.
