Major Fred Galvin and Graham Pinn on the Dean Mackin Show - 9 August 2024

GUEST OVERVIEW: Major Fred Galvin served for over 26 years as a enlisted and Marine Corps officer including assignments in the infantry, reconnaissance, force reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC/Marine Raiders). He led hundreds of combat missions including raids, deep reconnaissance, ship seizures, and ambush operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Gulf of Aden. The Marine Corps selected Galvin to command the first Marine Special Operations Task Force to deploy to combat. While conducting a combat mission in Afghanistan, Galvin and six other Marines were falsely accused of war crimes which led to the longest trial in Marine Corps history that led an acquittal. He is the author of A Few Bad Men: The True Story of U.S. Marines Ambushed in Afghanistan and Betrayed in America.

 

GUEST OVERVIEW: Graham Pinn is a doctor like half the world's businessmen and politicians seem to be now a days, but he is a proper doctor-a medical one having stamped out disease in 10 different countries. Now in retirement, he has too much time on his hands, and writes about matters he considers of importance for The Spectator Australia. Regarding their importance his wife differs.
