Amerykański żołnierz zginął, by go ocalić. Wstrząsająca historia z Afganistanu | kpt. Karol Cierpica

What is the true face of war and what a soldier faces when he returns home? Reserve Capt. Karol Cierpica, a 21-year veteran, tells a harrowing story from Afghanistan. That's when American soldier Michael Ollis gave his life to save him. Reserve Capt. Karol Cierpica spent most of his life in uniform—primarily under a maroon beret. He participated in missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Afghanistan, among others. He is a veteran of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd deployments of IFOR/SFOR (Implementation Force/Stabilization Force) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the 2nd, 5th, and 13th deployments of PkW ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) in Afghanistan. In this incredibly honest and moving episode of the "Kim Jestem" podcast, we discuss the identity of a Polish soldier, fear, faith, and the most difficult moment in his life—the massive terrorist attack on the Ghazni base in August 2013. This is a story about the heroism of Sergeant Michael Ollis, who shielded Karol with his own body, about the unimaginably difficult meeting with the parents of the fallen hero, and about emerging from the "dark valley" and struggling with the trauma of war. Why is a soldier not something one becomes, but rather one becomes? Listen to the story of the Survivor. Karol Cierpica's book, "The Survivor."
