Welcome back to your crime army to part two and the conclusion of the Clint Lorant's story.

If you haven't listened to last week's episode, please stop and go listen to episode 11 before continuing.

I am your host Margot and last week I gave everyone a teaser of what happened during Clint's 2012 deployment to Afghanistan.

But things are about to get interesting.

Just a recap.

Army first Lieutenant Lorant was a high-speed soldier.

He enlisted in 2003, made it up through the enlisted ranks, deployed to Iraq,

returned and got his college degree on the military dime, returning as an infantry officer.

He deployed to Afghanistan in 2012, where he was originally a squadron liaison officer.

But after first put two and lost their leader due to injury, first Lieutenant Clint Lorant was plucked from the headquarters to lead the troops in a highly kinetic area.

From the beginning, he was making questionable calls, pointing his gun at an innocent child at the front gate of the base,

having one of his troops shoot warning shots from a tower even though there was no threat,

and ignoring village elders who approached the gate to file complaints.

On his third day leading the troops on a mission outside the wire, a motorcycle with three men were driving in the general direction of the platoon which was on foot.

Lorant gave an order to take them out, a soldier shot twice and missed.

The men on the motorcycle stopped, dismounted the motorcycle and approached the Afghan National Army, A&A, at the front of the platoon on foot.

The A&A waved them off and told them, go wait by your motorcycle.
