During one of the most intense battles of the Vietnam War, he ran into enemy fire over and over again saving dozens of lives while wounded, outnumbered, and refusing evacuation as the enemy flowed down the hill like lava.

Jim McCloughan is inspiring and real in this powerful conversation.

In this episode of Not Special, Jim shares:

* What it’s really like to arrive in Vietnam

* The moment that changed how he saw war forever

* Why he ignored direct orders to leave

* And the promise he made that shaped the rest of his life

* He is lucky to have been a teacher and coach for nearly 40 years

This is a story about sacrifice, brotherhood, and what it means to show up when it matters most.
