18FEB25: Kris “Tanto” Paronto on Benghazi, Brotherhood, and Life After the Fight and More.

18FEB25: Kris “Tanto” Paronto on Benghazi, Brotherhood, and Life After the Fight and More.
Hosts: Matt & Kris

In this veteran to veteran conversation, Matt sits down with Kris Tanto Paronto for a discussion that goes far beyond the Benghazi timeline. Instead of revisiting headlines, the episode explores the man before the rooftop, the Ranger Battalion culture that shaped him, and the mindset he carried into Libya. They walk through the opening moments of the attack, decision making under incomplete information, and what disciplined execution looks like when panic would be easier. The conversation then shifts to the years after, including survivor’s guilt, reintegration, family impact, brotherhood, and translating a Ranger mindset into civilian leadership. The episode closes with a candid discussion about separating faith in the country from frustration with government accountability, and whether that realization leads to bitterness or to what Matt calls old man strength and clarity.
