In this episode, we explore the legacies of two men whose actions left deep scars—Liberian warlord Prince Johnson and U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales.
Prince Johnson, once a rebel leader in Liberia’s brutal civil war, became infamous for his role in the torture and execution of President Samuel Doe. Despite his violent past, he has remained a powerful political figure, raising questions about justice and accountability.
Robert Bales, a U.S. soldier, committed one of the worst war crimes by an American in recent history—the 2012 Kandahar Massacre, in which he slaughtered 16 Afghan civilians, including women and children. His actions shocked the world and exposed deep issues within military culture.
How do we reconcile their crimes with the legacies they left behind? Join us as we dive into the disturbing histories of these two men and their lasting impact.
