Jarvis Lynch
MajGen USMC (ret)
We had extensive conversations about My Lai last week on the program. Jarvis Lynch, MajGen USMC (ret) — an operations officer in Vietnam in 1969 in Vietnam joined us to discuss what it was like to lead in Vietnam given the social unrest of the time in our natio.
Jarvis has very interesting things to say about drugs, rape and weak leadership during the Vietnam War and in any war. We discuss drugs, rape and leadership at My Lai.
We also talk about how the Viet Cong related to the North Vietnamese Army in an area of operations and an interesting story about a leprosy colony that full of healthy young men. Interesting stuff.

Mike Ettore
Major, USMC (ret)
Fidelis Leadership Group
Mike Ettore is the Founder of Fidelis Leadership Group, LLC and a retired Marine Corps Infantry Officer who’s career was marked by unique leadership achievements. A Drill Instructor at the age of 20, the recipient of the prestigious Leftwitch Trophy for company grade leadership in 1992 and combat deployments to Beirut and Kuwait for Operation Desert Storm are but a few of his achievements.
Mike joined ALL MARINE RADIO to talk his career and leadership inside and outside of the military. His comments about moral courage being the backbone of any leader and the importance of “character” in leadership development are important lessons for any military or civilian leader. Mike also discusses how “The Dale Carnegie Course” impacted him as a leader in his 50’s and the importance of being a lifelong learner.
An impressive humble leader with sage comments for all who aspire to be better leaders, his comments about a leader’s role in applying “rules of engagement”during contingency operations are especially pointed.
GREAT HUMAN BEING… GREAT STUFF!
