Episode 020, Part 2 – Johnny Spann, Father of Mike Spann – first American killed in combat in US invasion of Afghanistan

January 23, 2017

Here in Part 2 we find out more about Mike Spann’s final moments in Qala-i-Jangi fortress.  At one point, Mike was interviewing American traitor John Walker Lindh.  Lindh knew of the uprising that was planned and could have saved Mike’s life, but he never said a word.  Instead, when questioned, he remained silent, leading to Spann being overrun and killed.
Since Mike Spann’s death, his father has been on a mission to find out all the details about his son’s final moments, however this required deciphering the truth from fiction.  He even went to Afghanistan and met with General Dostum.  Here he saw the spot where his son was killed by the anti-American terrorists.
Also, Spann answers the disputed question of whether or not his son was tortured.
It was an honor to speak to this grieving and proud father of American hero Mike Spann.
