Today for this podcast special episode, I have the honor to sit down with Kris "Tanto" Paronto, a former Army Ranger and CIA security contractor known for his heroic actions during the September 11, 2012, Benghazi attack, where he helped save over 20 lives in a 13-hour firefight. A veteran of the Army Rangers and National Guard, he later served as a private security contractor in high-risk regions, including Yemen, Libya, and Afghanistan. Paronto co-authored “13 Hours”, later adapted into a film by director Michael Bay. He has also written “The Ranger Way” and “The Patriot’s Creed”, sharing insights from his military service and lessons learned. Currently, Kris is the lead instructor at Battleline Tactical, co-hosts the Battleline Podcast with Ian Scotto, and speaks at seminars and conferences worldwide.

In memory of:

Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens

Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith

CIA Security Contractors Tyrone Woods & Glen Doherty
