In this Veterans Week Special, The MisFitNation proudly welcomes COL (Ret.) Buck Connor, a West Point graduate, decorated combat leader, scholar, and veteran of over 24 years of U.S. Army service.

Commissioned as an Armor Officer in 1981, Buck’s distinguished career spanned leadership roles across the globe — including Germany, Bosnia, and multiple tours in the Middle East. He commanded Task Force 1-12 Cavalry in Bosnia and later the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division in Iraq (2003–2004). For his bravery and leadership in combat, he earned the Purple Heart, Bronze Star with Valor, and Legion of Merit.

After retiring, Buck brought his leadership to the private sector — serving as President of Calytrix Technologies and leading simulation and virtual training innovations that shaped the next generation of military readiness. Named a Veteran of Influence by the Orlando Business Journal, Buck’s post-service journey reflects a lifelong dedication to service, strategy, and mentorship.

Now fully retired in the North Georgia mountains, Buck continues to share his knowledge through writing and speaking. His most recent publication appears in The Wrath of Achilles: Essays on Command in Battle.

This episode honors a soldier, scholar, and leader who embodies courage, character, and the spirit of service.
