Sierra Leone's civil war lasted from 1991 until 2002.  It was marked by exceptional levels of cruelty and suffering.  During this civil war the United Nations, neighboring West African states, and the United Kingdom launched military interventions into Sierra Leone.  The United Kingdom's intervention was called Operation Palliser.  In September 2000 eleven British soldiers participating in Operation Palliser were captured by a militia gang known as the West Side Boys.  When it became clear negotiating with the West Side Boys was proving futile, the British decided to take military action to free their soldiers.  William Fowler's “Operation Barras” tells the story of what happened.

On today's Zero Limits Podcast I have a chat with Paul Warren former 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment infantry soldier.  Paul 'Warlord' Warren was an Australian Muay Thai kick-boxing champion who was used to the physically punishing world of martial arts at its highest level.  But nothing could prepare him for the torment he would face in the Australian army. One month after he arrived in Afghanistan as a soldier in the ADF, an IED exploded, tearing off his right leg and instantly killing his mate, Private Ben Ranaudo. It was 18 July 2009 and Ben was the campaign's eleventh fatality. After losing his leg and being discharged from the Army, Paul has experienced highs and lows that we all can learn from. Having to navigate a veteran system that was not equipt to support his needs, becoming captain for Australia in The Invictus Games Foundation, writing his book 'The Fighter' and being awarded the Prime Ministers Veteran Employment award for Rheinmetall Program.Support the show - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9LG48GC49TW38Website - www.zerolimitspodcast.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/zero.limits.podcast/?hl=en

Part 2 of our Memorial Day remembrance series brings us the story of the 2nd battle of Fallujah in November 2004. This battle was so big it had two operational names. Operation Phantom Fury and Operation Al-Fajr (the Dawn). The first battle was started in April of 2004 after the deaths of Blackwater security members. This operation was stopped to allow Iraq security forces to control the city. In the six months that followed multiple insurgent groups entered the city and made a stronghold. Civilians (Non-combatants) were told to evacuate as coalition forces numbering over 11,000 assembled around the city. This is where our next guest, a young Marine at the time was assembled. He was with his brothers in 1st Battalion 8th Marines waiting to go in on another of what they thought was a routine mission. That was until they realized the scope of it. These Marines went into the city fighting block to block in some of the most brutal urban fighting of the war in Iraq up till that time. For the next near month plus they fought not for themselves, but for their brothers on their sides. It was during this month that Christian Dominguez lost four Brothers he would never forget. The First one was LCPL Nate Anderson from Ohio on 12 November. The Second was LCPL William Miller from Texas on 14 November. The third and fourth happened during a house clearing operation on 19 November. They are LCPL Dimitrios Gavriel from New York and LCPL Demarkus Brown from Virginia. Christian Dominguez has continued to serve for the past 19 years. He began his career in the Marine Corps as an infantryman where he served as a point man for the Battle for Fallujah in 2004. He later transitioned into the National Guard as an intelligence Warrant Officer. Christian has completed 3 combat tours and multiple humanitarian assistance missions. https://www.themisfitnation.com https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica https://youtu.be/irZr8FjLP2Y --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support

Logan National Cemetery, Denver, CO. At the End of the Row When I’m asked for directions,Where the visitor might go,I say, “Through the main gate,Past the brick building, very slow.”On the right, just a bit,A wood stair you will see,It leads to the lake,And a bench by a tree. Directly across, to the left side of the way,Park your car, and get out,By the green and white sea.The green is the grass, always mowed and trimmed,And the white are the markers,Too many, and him.His spot is just there,A few steps more,He’s with the fallen heroes,At the end of the row..

Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match. This week he told us about Charlie Company of the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, From Stars and Stripes, "In May 2007, Charlie Company of the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment patrolled Adhamiyah, a Sunni enclave in northeast Baghdad that was arguably the most dangerous neighborhood in Iraq. No battalion has seen more soldiers fall in a single deployment since Vietnam, and Charlie, with 13 lost, was the hardest-hit company in the battalion. When Charlie was pulled from Adhamiyah a few months later, it was replaced with an entire battalion augmented by a company and specialty platoons."
