Raven 23 and the War That Followed the War

The firefight in Nisour Square ended in minutes. But for four American veterans, Paul Slough, Nicholas Slatten, Evan Liberty, and Dustin Heard, the war never stopped. Branded as symbols in a political storm, they became central figures in one of the most divisive prosecutions of the Iraq War era.

In this searing episode of Unfinished Business | A Podcast for Veterans Pursuing New Life Missions, host Eric Rush sits down with Paul Slough and Gina Keating, the investigative journalist behind Raven 23: How the Department of Justice Betrayed American Heroes. What unfolds is not a recounting, it’s a reckoning. They talk about silence in the press, collapse in the courts, and the personal cost of becoming a stand-in for someone else’s war guilt. Slough speaks not as a defendant, but as a man who carried a burden few understood. And Keating reveals what it took to exhume a story most outlets left buried.

This is more than an interview. It’s an entry into a record that still matters, because justice doesn’t end with a verdict, and truth doesn’t disappear just because it’s inconvenient.
