David Rutherford Show: From 9/11 to Fallujah: A Marine Grunt’s Untold War Story
📍Robin “Griff” Griffiths, a former U.S. Marine grunt, shares his firsthand account of joining the Marine Corps after 9/11 and fighting in the opening days of the Iraq War. Griff walks through boot camp, the invasion of Iraq, and the brutal reality of combat during the Battle of Nasiriyah, including the loss of 18 Marines in a single day. This episode goes beyond headlines to reveal what war actually feels like from the ground level—fear, brotherhood, chaos, and responsibility. If you want an unfiltered Marine perspective on the Iraq invasion, this is a story you won’t hear anywhere else.
