Johnny MF Glenn is a former Green Beret with over a dozen combat deployments - more than 21 years of back-to-back, nonstop, kinetic action in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and parts unknown. He's seen gunfights, IED's, combat dressings, and human shields - he's been blown up five times, shot once, and had two cracks in his frontal lobe, all over the course of a career that's dotted with wild tales of 'organized' chaos that only a veteran operator could know.
But for Johnny, organized chaos isn't just a way of life - it's a mantra; a fundamental belief that when good people do good things, good things happen regardless of the circumstances. So how's a farm kid in southwest Georgia go on to become a Green Beret? What keeps someone coming back, deployment after deployment, returning to the combat zone? And when you've served as long as Johnny has, what does the cost of human life really mean?
