Canadian Special Operations Face Off with ISIS | Sebastian "Butch" Bouchard | Ep. 378

Sebastian Bouchard, a veteran of the Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR), recounts his 15-year career, beginning with the unit's founding after the infamous Airborne Regiment disbandment and detailing the brutal selection process . His operational history spans night raids in Afghanistan, a chaotic deployment in Libya, and intense close-quarters combat during the 2015 ISIS push in Iraq. Finally, Bouchard shares his post-military struggle with service-related TBI and his success with unconventional medical treatment, which inspired him to found the global risk mitigation firm, the 242 Group.
