2 chapters across the catalog

War correspondent Michael Yon joins the program to discuss his history with General Michael Kurilla, the current head of CENTCOM. Yon recounts their time together in the "Deuce Four" battalion during the Iraq War, describing Kurilla as a courageous leader who led from the front and survived multiple combat wounds. However, Yon expresses concern that Kurilla may now be serving a globalist agenda that contradicts his history as a dedicated American soldier.

During a mission to hunt down an Al-Qaeda sniper, then-Colonel Michael Kurilla was severely wounded, suffering a shattered femur and multiple gunshot wounds. Michael Yon captured the entire sequence on camera as Kurilla continued to give orders while on the ground. Sergeant Major Rob Prosser eventually subdued the insurgent in hand-to-hand combat after a point-blank firefight, a moment Yon describes as a testament to the unit's extraordinary resilience.
