ABC’s interview with CPT Will Swenson
The folks at ABC News send us a video of their interview with Captain Will Swenson who was awarded the Medal of Honor yesterday at the White House;
You may have been inundated with Will Swenson news the last few days, but I think you need to watch this video. I hope the Army lets him rejoin the service, because we need more leaders with this kind of vision of military service. Thanks to ABC for sending this magnificent video to us, they did an uncharacteristically outstanding job on this subject.

A true representative of the kind of men that earn the Medal of Honor! It does not go without notice that he is still campaigning to get SFC Westbrook the Medal he deserves.
And yes Jonn, he IS the kind of Officer the Army needs.
The Capt. reminds me of another MOH recipient John Basilone USMC who received the Medal of Honor for action on
Guadalcanal in WW2. Then campaigned to go back to the war.
And on D-day on Iwo Jima after single-handedly taking out a
Japanese blockhouse he was killed by an artillery shell.
And that example may not get the Capt. back into combat
again.
He is without a doubt the kind of leader the Army needs. Too bad the Army no longer wants leadership.
Judging by what I have read, heard, and seen (on tv) from this officer, I would assault he’ll with him.
