Violent But True is back with a tale so insane it belongs in the damn Avengers. Medal of Honor Recipient Sgt. 1st Class LeRoy Petry wasn’t born with superpowers… but Some war stories sound like Marvel comics until you realize they actually happened. #honor #grit #violence #medalofhonor #truesstory

Violent But True Season 8 Bastards of War: Forgotten Front

The Global War on Terror made legends. But not all of them made it home or onto History Channel. They don’t write songs about these service members. So we tell their stories in the dark... where they belong.

ABOUT VIOLENT BUT TRUE

Well, we understand your needs. You work around a bunch of f*ckwits, you live around a bunch of soyboys, and you've always wondered if anyone has ever bayoneted thirty people in one day. The solution? Give the people the mental testosterone injection they didn't know they needed. So, Kick back, grab a cold one, and enjoy the gift of violence with your friends and loved ones as we add new stories of graphic violence to our VBT Hall of Fame!
