We've already covered some 'Crazy War Stories' before, but what about a few tales that are a little more 'heroic'? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat take another deep dive into history, this time covering some lesser-known war heroes that don't always get the attention they deserve. The guys also break down a six-pack of bargain-bin news stories, talk a little sports, and share a story or two. Was the hero from 'Hacksaw Ridge' even more heroic in real life than his Hollywood portrayal? Did Alvin York, America's best-known WWI hero, originally enlist as conscientious-objector? Is playing the trombone an effective means of bear deterrence? For answers to all of these questions, and plenty more, be sure to give this week's episode a listen!
