Dropping Bombs

In this explosive episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad Lea sits down with Ben Lover and David Packouz — the real-life “War Dog” portrayed by Miles Teller in the hit Hollywood film. David shares the uncensored truth behind the infamous $300 million arms deal that shocked the world — how he and his partner supplied weapons to the Afghan military, violated a U.S. Army contract, and got caught in a scandal that reached the front page of the New York Times.

💥 Why did the U.S. government turn a blind eye at first?

💥 How did a $20,000 box dispute bring down a $60 million payday?

💥 Did he fear his partner would have him killed?

But it doesn’t end there... After avoiding prison, David made a jaw-dropping comeback, building multi-million dollar businesses like BeatBuddy, InstaFloss, and Comment Compass — proving that failure isn’t final.
