Manage episode 335044956 series 2793002
This week we welcome Maj. Fred Galvin (Ret.), Marine Officer and author of A Few Bad Men. A Few Bad Men tells the story of Fox Company, a Marine unit ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders—these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home. A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Maj. Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years. Maj. Galvin demonstrated what it means to be a real leader, and fought for the lives and reputations of his Marines. Strap yourself in for a story fit for Hollywood, but lived by Maj. Galvin and the men of Fox Company.
