Episode 87: "Into the Fire – Dave Saben & the Battle of Long Tan"

In this explosive episode, Frankie sits down with Dave Saben — a military veteran and former platoon commander during Australia’s involvement in Vietnam — for a raw, firsthand account of one of the most defining moments in Aussie military history: the Battle of Long Tan. With bullets raining, brutal conditions, and the odds stacked against them, hear how a band of young Australian soldiers faced a force of thousands — and what it took to survive. Saben pulls no punches, sharing the chaos, courage, and comradeship forged in the crucible of war. If you think you know Long Tan — think again. This is war as it's rarely told: up close, personal, and unforgettable.
