On the podcast, Moser opens up about his most difficult day in combat on a rooftop in Samarra, Iraq in 2007. What would become a story of intrepidity and a paratrooper’s resolve to never quit fighting was in reality one of the most horrific days of Eric’s life as his SKT (Sniper Kill Team), comprised of four paratroopers including himself, encountered a vicious ambush from a well-organized militia. Moser’s courage that day led to him being awarded the Army’s second-highest honor, the Distinguished Service Cross. After his time in the 82nd, Eric attended and completed SFAS (Special Forces Assessment & Selection) becoming a Green Beret and serving with 10th Special Forces Group. Eric also speaks on the untimely end of his military career and eventual medical retirement.
