Before becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL, Thomas “Drago” Dzieran spent time as a political prisoner in communist Poland. On the Shawn Ryan Show, he recounts a story about standing up to an inmate who tried to take his food and says he planned to make a necklace from the inmate’s front teeth before prison guards confiscated them during a transfer. It’s one of the most memorable stories from the interview.
