In this episode, host Steve Balestrieri speaks with Clint Lorance, a former Army officer who was wrongly accused of killing Afghan civilians. The military system, the unit chain of command, and the Army committed a grave injustice and put Clint in prison for killing enemy combatants who were getting ready to attack his soldiers.Thanks to being pardoned by President Trump, Clint is now a free man and is beginning law school so that he can help to fight injustice within the system. Clint is also the author of a book called Stolen Honor: Falsely Accused, Imprisoned, and My Long Road to Freedom that will be released on September 22, 2020.

He spent 12 years in the US Army and seven in the Special Forces Group serving his country.

After losing his leg during the battle, John continued to fight on alongside the other soldiers, which ultimately earned him the Silver Star, Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his bravery.Following his recovery, John’s determination and selflessness drove him to do what no one else had done before – enroll in the Special Forces Sniper School to become the first ever amputee to re-enlist as a Green Beret Sniper. As always, John was looking for another way to give back to the country he loves so much.To continue on his mission of giving back and serving his country, John is now co-founder of Live to Give, a company built on the premise of giving back and one that donates 50% of its net profits to charities supporting military, first responders and their families. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, John’s company has donated hundreds of cases of water to first responders and schools, partnered with likeminded organizations to help employ those who have lost work, and continued to give back in however possible.If you haven’t already, be sure to join our community at SOFREP and find the best tactical equipment and apparel in our store, The Loadout Room.
