At this time we hear a Fight Story that I’ve been wanting ahead to for years. As many listeners know, I intently adopted the battle in Afghanistan instantly following 9/11 and revered the Inexperienced Berets who rode into fight on horseback to take America’s battle to the enemy.
At this time we hear from one of many only a few males who was there, one of many Horse Troopers as they’ve been known as: Bob Pennington.
Bob spent greater than 30 years within the service, a lot of that with Special Forces, together with kinetic operations within the Gulf Struggle to one of many first groups on the bottom in Afghanistan and extra. He’s a Distinguished Member of the Special Forces Regiment and within the Georgia Navy Veterans’ Corridor of Fame.
He and his Horse Soldier teammate Mark Nutsch have simply launched a ebook about their experiences within the days after 9/11 titled “Swords of Lightning: Inexperienced Beret Horse Troopers and America’s Response to 9/11.” And if his life can’t get any higher, he and Mark are additionally principals within the firm that produces Horse Soldier Bourbon.
I hope you take pleasure in this inside look into what occurred from 9/10 (the day earlier than the world modified) by means of the among the first operations on the bottom in Afghanistan (and revel in a few of Bob’s superstar moments given his illustration as a key function within the film 12 Robust) as a lot as I did.
