Ambushed in Kosovo: My First Real Gunfight
In this gripping excerpt from a Mike Drop podcast, retired Green Beret Mark Giaconia recounts his first combat experience during a tense 2001 mission in Kosovo.

This intense 12-minute clip captures the chaos, fear, and quick decision-making of a young Special Forces soldier thrust into a high-stakes firefight alongside unlikely allies, reflecting on the surreal dynamics of the mission.
