Marine Corps Vietnam veteran Johnnie Clark joins the show to deliver a raw, unforgettable account of combat, survival, faith, and the cost of coming home from war. After joining the Marines at 17 and arriving in Vietnam at 18, Clark served as an M60 machine gunner with the 5th Marine Regiment, where he was wounded three times and later awarded the Silver Star, three Purple Hearts, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm. From the Battle of Huế and brutal patrols near the Ho Chi Minh Trail to graveyard firefights, mercy killings, lost Marines, and the trauma that followed him home, Clark shares the truth behind one of the deadliest jobs in Vietnam. A powerful episode packed with brotherhood, sacrifice, faith, and living history.
