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.
