“They picked me up, and I'm hopping on one leg. And I saw Commander Griffin, Major Gray, Major Kennedy, and then USAID [officer] at the time, Ragaei Abdelfattah, were all killed by the same bomber that didn't kill me,” said Florent Groberg.Groberg is a retired U.S. Army Captain who fought in Afghanistan and was severely injured attempting to thwart a suicide bomber. For his actions, he received the Medal of Honor, America's highest award for military valor.“Everything that we have in this nation is because of men and women who put their lives on the line and didn't come home. And their families—they have to live with the consequences of that,” he said.I spoke with Captain Groberg on a wide range of topics, from DeepSeek AI and swarming drones to the war in Ukraine and the threat from China's communist regime.“When I first heard about DeepSeek and its battle with Open AI ... I saw it as an opportunity for the Chinese government to have free access to all of our data as they see fit,” said Groberg. “The Chinese have been developing the majority of the world's small drones. I believe that the majority of the Russian [drones] come from China. ... I know that Ukrainians are also using their own specific drones, and they're creating as much chaos on the other side. So, it really has changed the landscape of warfare.”Views expressed in this video are those of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

This week on Inside Great Mind, Adam welcomes Medal of Honor recipient Florent "Flo" Groberg.  Groberg, a former US Captain in the Army, is a living lesson in persistence and determination. Listen as he unpacks his story of overcoming challenges and adversity to achieve the remarkable things he has accomplished. Here are just a few bullet points of his story and accomplishments:

Rates of stress and anxiety are increasing and it's estimated that 1 in 4 of us will experience mental health problems at some point in our lives. HEROBITES is a bi-weekly podcast clip for your mid-week motivation jump-start to inspire or educate you with our former guest's insight. Today's clip is from episode 20 featuring SEAC #3, John Wayne Troxell - and the story on how he became world famous by turning an E-tool, into a symbol of courage. Video recorded by a Stars and Stripes reporter on Dec. 24, 2017 in Afghanistan, shows Troxell delivering a speech to cheering troops as General Dunford and Florent Groberg, a Medal of Honor recipient looked on. Troxell, speaking from a stage, said that ISIS will be “annihilated, period!” before he launched into specifics. “That may be through advising, assisting and enabling the host-nation partners,” he said. “It may be by dropping bombs on them. It may be by shooting them in the face. And it even might be beating them to death with your entrenching tool, but we are going to beat this enemy!” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2018/01/10/senior-pentagon-soldier-warns-isis-quit-or-be-shot-in-the-face-beaten-with-entrenching-tools/

Great show regardless of the technical SNAFU. Jared Shepard and Warriors Ethos joins us in hour number two and as an added bonus, Medal of Honor recipient, Florent Groberg joins us as well. What a GREAT conversation.

-The following citation is an account of the actions that earned U.S. Army Captain (ret.) Florent Groberg the Congressional Medal of Honor-Captain Florent Groberg distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a Personal Security Detachment Commander for Task Force Mountain Warrior, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, during combat operations against an armed enemy in Asadbad, Kunar Province, Afghanistan on August 8, 2012. On that day, Captain Groberg was leading a dismounted movement consisting of several senior leaders to include two brigade commanders, two battalion commanders, two command sergeants major, and an Afghanistan National Army brigade commander. As they approached the Provincial Governor's compound, Captain Groberg observed an individual walking close to the formation. When the individual made an abrupt turn towards the formation, he noticed an abnormal bulge underneath the individual's clothing. Selflessly placing himself in front of one of the brigade commanders, Captain Groberg rushed forward, using his body to push the suspect away from the formation. Simultaneously, he ordered another member of the security detail to assist with removing the suspect. At this time, Captain Groberg confirmed the bulge was a suicide vest and with complete disregard for his life, Captain Groberg again with the assistance of the other member of the security detail, physically pushed the suicide bomber away from the formation. Upon falling, the suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest outside the perimeter of the formation, killing four members of the formation and wounding numerous others. The blast from the first suicide bomber caused the suicide vest of a previously unnoticed second suicide bomber to detonate prematurely with minimal impact on the formation. Captain Groberg's immediate actions push the first suicide bomber away from the formation significantly minimized the impact of the coordinated suicide bombers' attack on the formation, saving the lives of his comrades and several senior leaders. Captain Groberg's extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty at the risk of life are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect credit upon himself, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division and the United States Army.Follow Florent Groberg:https://www.instagram.com/florent.groberg/?hl=en8 Seconds of Courage: A Soldier's Story from Immigrant to the Medal of Honor:https://www.amazon.com/Seconds-Courage-Soldiers-Story-Immigrant/dp/1501165887#:~:text=Amazon.com%3A%208%20Seconds%20of,Flo%2C%20Sileo%2C%20Tom%3A%20BooksFirstNet Built with AT&T:http://www.firstnet.com/healthandwellnessDownload the O2X Tactical Performance App:app.o2x.comLet us know what you think:Website: http://o2x.comIG: https://instagram.com/o2xhumanperformance?igshid=1kicimx55xt4f

“We are solvers of problems--as Americans.” -Chuck Hagel.  These are tough times in America. And it’s time to listen to our toughest leaders. Leaders like Chuck Hagel.  Chuck Hagel [13:26] is a true American success story--and has been an independent voice of reason on our political landscape for a generation. Hagel served as the 24th Secretary of Defense from February 2013 to February 2015. He was a rare Republican in the Cabinet of President Obama and the first Vietnam veteran and first formerly enlisted soldier in American history to lead the Pentagon. America is being tested from every side--and from within. From attacks on our elections, to attacks on our troops in Afghanistan, to attacks on Pentagon leadership by our own President. And this week, Foreign Policy takes center stage in the final Presidential Debate between Trump and Biden. Hagel breaks down how and if our military, foreign policy and political leadership is or isn’t ready for what’s to come. In this candid, personal and insightful conversation with our host, Army veteran and Founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff), Hagel shares insight into the Joe Biden he’s known for decades, the Donald Trump he’s seen up close, and the future he sees for America. It’s real and sobering--and also warm and uplifting.  Hagel previously served in the United States Senate representing Nebraska, was President of the World USO, and in the mid-1980’s after returning from Vietnam, co-founded VANGUARD a highly-successful, publicly-traded corporation. He is also the author of, America: Our Next Chapter and the subject of a book entitled, Chuck Hagel: Moving Forward. Hagel is a statesman, an entrepreneur, a grandfather, and always a patriot. And he is now a leader of National Security Leaders for Biden--a group of 780 retired Generals, Admirals, Senior Enlisted, Ambassadors and former Senior National Security Officials supporting Joe Biden for President. He’s gone against his own political party, conventional wisdom and our enemies for decades. Now, he’s fighting against Trump.  This election season especially, Angry Americans is your oasis for independent news, politics and inspiration.

Army Veteran Florent Groberg, received the Medal of Honor in 2015 for actions during the War in Afghanistan. He has since become an business leader for LinkedIn, Boeing and Microsoft - and has also been made a playable character in Call of Duty: Warzone

08AUG2012: Serving as Personal Security Detachment Commander for TF Mountain Warrior, CPT Florent Groberg was responsible for the safety of a group of key US and Afghan leaders. In early August, the brigade commander along with additional US and Afghan military leadership traveled to Asasadabad where they were scheduled to meet with the provincial governor at his compound. Taking a helicopter to FOB Fiaz, CPT Groberg led the dismounted patrol through the densely populated city of Asadabad for the short movement to the meeting. Nearing a choke point, things started to look off and CPT Groberg and his men noticed an individual walking towards their formation but moving backwards. Groberg moved towards the man to investigate and as he approached, the man turned, displaying a strange bulge in his clothing. Groberg ran forward and when he reached the suspect, identified a suicide vest. Without regard for his own safety, CPT Groberg aggressively ran the man away from the formation tackling him into the street. As he hit the ground, the vest detonated, away from the middle of the formation but severely wounding Groberg and throwing him 20 feet. In the chaos of the situation, a second would-be attacker detonated his vest prematurely, away from any US or Afghan troops. Four Americans would be killed in the attack but if it weren't for CPT Groberg's heroic act, that number would have been far higher. Groberg survived the blast and in recognition of his selfless act, would be awarded the Medal of Honor in 2015.

202: Medal of Honor Recipient Florent Groberg Medal of Honor Recipient Florent Groberg served in the military for about seven years. From an infantry officer, he became a captain and took part of a deadly mission in Afghanistan. He survived to tell his story in his book, 8 Seconds of Courage. "Dream big. Don't put anything off because you don't think you can make it." - Retired Capt. Florent Groberg Off to Afghanistan Retired Capt. Groberg entered the Army in 2008. He became a platoon leader after completing the Infantry Officer Basic Course, Mechanized Leaders Course, U.S. Airborne and U.S. Army Ranger Schools. He deployed to Kunar Province, Afghanistan where he was part of Task Force Lethal in 2009 and of Task Force Mountain Warrior in 2012. In July of 2012, he was promoted to captain. The Game Changer For six months that time, their mission was to protect the Colonel on the ground and plan his air movement. But in August, what was supposed to be an easy task proved to be lethal. Two suicide bombers appeared on their way to a security meeting in East Afghanistan. The detonation of the first bomber killed four members of their team. Retired Capt. Groberg was left with a traumatic brain injury. He also lost almost half his left calf muscle and suffered from a blown eardrum and a significant nerve damage. Life with a New Mission Consequently, he spent almost four years in the hospital for recovery. In 2015, he medically retired as a captain. That time, he struggled and couldn't understand why he was spared. It led him to a new mission in life, which was to honor his brothers and their families. Upon transition, he slowly picked up himself and furthered his education. Now, he works at the Department of Defense as a civilian employee.
