Zack Knight

Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) | Georgia National Guard

The Taliban was warned that if they engaged in attacks during the withdrawal, the Americans would revert to combat operations. There was no response when they did, however, and platoon leader Zack Knight returned home with remorse and anger over how his Afghan allies had been abandoned. His downward spiral increased with the discovery of a hidden injury. (5:53)
After he had to leave the service because of a health issue, Zack Knight kept busy with an array of businesses that he started, ranging from a media company to veteran related non-profits. He also channeled his energy into a book called A Legacy of Love: A Journey Of Self Mastery. (4:48)
Why were we there? Afghanistan veteran Zack Knight recalls what a General said to him while he was there. If what he said is true, the withdrawal could be troublesome for us as well as the Afghan people. He also has some surprising ideas on leadership and a not so surprising choice of inspirational music. (2:59)
