I’m a 54 year old British woman with no ties to the US however I love listening to these tales of heroism and patriotism. (Love Shawn Ryan too). I’m a humanist. I’m rooting for good over evil and my heart goes out to these men who had nothing but noble intentions. To watch our governments treat it and them )and our countries and fellow citizens) like valueless pawns infuriates me. Julian keep up the great work. Your intelligence and authenticity is astounding. Keep digging up the truth - I’m here for it xxx
Thank you so much, Lisa -- and shoutout across the pond! Shawn's show is amazing and I'm with you -- love to hear stories of heroism. Danny is such a stand up guy and it was a real honor to have him in for 6 hours to get his story out there over these 2 episodes
If you love humanity you certainly can't be a pacifist, I love hearing people from all over the world speak about our boys like that, America might be evil at times, but most Americans won't fight for evil.
I'm right there with ya, sister. As an American I agree with everything you said! I just now discovered this channel but I've been watching The Fat Electrician for several months. He's the best history teacher we never had. His is the first channel I watch when I wake up and the last one before I go to sleep because he's so inspiring. Thank you for your post.
I'm in such a dark place right now, leaving an 11 yr abusive relationship, literally packing my life away, and I can't thank u enough Julian for these stories that u bring us ncuz if he can make it thru that, I can get the balls and leave, and then thrive afterwards. So thank u for these vets who inspire people, who can get us thru our lives at home. I'm excited for this episode!!!!
Just know things will get better ,but if you don’t change anything then nothing changes for you at all. Nobody is going to save you except yourself. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and have faith in knowing you will be fine and never look back. All love from here and hope you get to where you need to be.
Shannon, I am really sorry to hear about how you're doing. I really can't even begin to imagine what that must be like. I hope everything works out and I am humbled to hear the guests like Danny on this podcast can help play a small part in giving you some strength. Wishing you all the best ❤️
@JulianDorey I've listened to every one of your episodes, too. This guy has a powerful story and the right attitude. Yall are getting better and better man
Bday was 5days ago. My Wife left me last month & is keeping me from speaking to My Son. I just wanted to thank you for providing an opportunity to get outta my head for a while. Ur content has really helped me lately 💯 Thank You
Damn, that is horrible and I am really sad to hear you're going through that brotha Hang in there my man. I hope you had as happy a birthday as possible I'm very humbled to hear that the podcast is playing a small part in helping get your mind off things.
Been there suffered that. You have legal recourse if you can but my suggestion from the heart... Record. Record messages to your son that he may fall back on later. Don't talk crap about his mom, just focus on letting him know how much you love and miss him. I fought for custody in a place where as soon as you got off the elevator at the courthouse the whole floor smelled of pootietang. Even my lawyer told me it was a losing battle. Regardless, I wanted my son to know I tried. Now that he is thirty he understands and we have a distant yet loving and respectful relationship. My prayers to you and yours. God Bless 🙏🏼
Julian, your podcast is fantastic. You are extremely relatable and I am so happy to have found this channel. Some of the most intriguing and thought provoking interviews I’ve ever seen. I’ll take your channel over Rogan any day. Keep it up and thank you for being an outlet for me
This episode will have an amazing effect on a lot of veterans, active duty and even civilians. Heartfelt episode. Their previous episode rocked as well. Thanks
1:30:50 - the way this episode is is flowing is so good. He’s great at keeping your focus. Knows when to pivot, concise responses when questioned while describing an event. You killed it as well. Loving this one.
Just starting this episode and was glancing at the timestamps… I smiled when I saw the short length of “Danny’s Regrets” chapter. I’m a new subscriber / listener (found JDP through Tommy G) and I’m super pumped that I just finished part 1 and part 2 is up! Thank you for your incredible service, gentleman 🩶🇺🇸 And thank you Julian for the brilliant guests & stories and knowledge that your platform provides.
Tara! Thank you so much for giving my channel a shot after hearing about it from Tommy (who is an incredible guy off camera by the way, what a stand-up dude)! I'm glad you caught these two with Danny. We all throw around the word "legend" a little heavily sometimes -- but in this case, that word's an understatement.
A totally unassuming gentleman, you would never know he is one of the elite warriors protecting all that’s good in this world. Thanks for your sacrifice and your service!
I'm wouldn't be suprised if halls silver star gets upgraded too medal of honor. dude was trying too save lives under fire multiple times and taking them with honor. thank you danny hall
@@eric8515 it was my pleasure Eric! Danny and I are already talking about doing a round 3. Ans thank you my man - I really appreciate having your support on this show brotha!
I am a combat medic. My father is a special ops . These men and women have served and still serve have such a thankless job/mission from a large number of our own fellow citizens and truly deserve so much more. I can not say much more... except THANK YOU!!! Please today of all days, please send love and prayers and respect for our very proud and humble soldiers. Soldiers. Police. Fire fights. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow what an amazing story just put him on my prayer list. Julian you don’t know this but you help me in more ways than you will ever know. From watching your video with Chris I have gained a new friend. He is one of the best guys, he helps the whole community. So you giving him your channel to tell his story is how him and I met. Stay blessed.
Clayton, this right here is what makes it all worth it brother. Incredible. Chris has another episode coming up with me that we just recorded by the way (if you're referring to Chris Cathers)
When people like you do interviews with veterans it gives them an outlet to speak and feel free in doing it. In that relaxed environment it helps veterans to open up about their experiences that the world should know about. These men fought to the death to not only save their lives, but to get rid of the evil in the world so we can live free like we do. Cool shit bro! To all you veterans who served I thank you for your service!
Damn guys, these two episodes have been....I can't quite find the right words... But these have been the greatest episodes I've ever listened to. Mr. Hall, WOW! There is no way I can remotely explain how grateful I am for ALL you have done for me AND for the entire WORLD! I am completely certain that as a result of you being on this earth, you have made our civilization a better place to live. It's only due to people like you that I can sit here in my back yard and enjoy my evening here in America. I am just speechless at the moment. This isn't the only podcast I listen to either. I have listened to dozens and dozens of others' stories on Sean Ryan, Mike Ritland, The Fat Electrician, The Antihero Podcast, Jeremiah Ramsey, etc. and I've listened to all of the "famous" operators' stories. I've laughed and cried listening to these men and for me, you top everyone as being the most stand-up guy out of all I've listened to. I seriously have love, admiration and appreciation for many of the vets I've listened to. If the United States could pick one guy to stand as an example of what America is, or wishes it was, you are that example. Just everything about you. I know you have and do deal with the negative effects of all you have done for us and I am so deeply sorry for that. I prey that God is providing you with tools to mitigate them and mostly prey that He removes any guilt that you may feel from your service. You mentioned how nervous you were before the show and I was just dumbfounded hearing that. The way you told all that you did, I thought you must have been on a dozen other podcasts before this one. I've heard other guys stories and could tell they were a bit nervous. Eddie Gallagher was one of those. I listened to a podcast that was one of his first, maybe first I don't recall, and I thought he was kind of an arrogant ass. While listening to numerous other podcasts he was on much later, I realized that he wasn't arrogant in his early episode, he was just giving short direct answers to things because he was so damn nervous. I can relate! YOU!, I felt like I was there because of how you explained things so matter of factly and so descriptively. I thought you were calm as a cucumber. I'm sorry this is getting so long and I'm not doing a great job of explaining myself. I'm not, trying, to say all of this because of your "incredible combat stories", which they were, but it is YOU that stands out so much in this interview. You come across as one of the most fair, self aware, stand-up, incredible roll model, loving, honest and all around great person. That's a shit sentence, but it's the best I can do right now. I'm fully aware that you have been a dick and sometimes are still a dick, but overall I can't think of a better person to aspire to and lookup to than you. Thank you sir for all you've done, all you do and being an incredible example of what a human being should be. I prey to God that some of, or most, of the physical and mental negative effects that you acquired from fighting for people like me are getting less and less as time goes on. I'll quit rambling on and just say Thank You so much! I am honored to be able to live in a country that has men such as you representing and protecting us. God speed sir!
Excellent interview. You and many others are letting us Iraq and Afghanistan Vets tell the stories of what it was truly like on the ground. And Julian keep it up with the varying topics.
Thank you so much Jonathan! I'm glad you enjoyed it brotha! Got a bunch of diverse topic guests coming through over the next 2 months, we'll keep plugging!
Prior service gunner here…. In 08 towards the end of that year I can confirm they wanted us to shoot pin flares…. They also wanted us to throw tennis balls… Shout out to Sgt Major Fritz that said fuck all that. Warning shots through the grill then shoot to kill.
As an OIF 06-07 vet 4th infantry division 42nd field artillery AZTECS. I wanna say these guys are the real badasses the ones I seen walking around with beards and black duffels full of cash to persuade safe travels ect these guys deserve the best of America us vets stick together and more civilians need to know the hell of war we go thru for them to live their comfy lives behind a screen complaining Julian I personally appreciate what you do and the stories you have told thanks. 🤘🏽
Absolutely stunning the level of clarity and specificity with which this man can remember the minute details of firefights and battles and considering how long ago they happened too I am blown away by this level of clarity in a combat situation that proves he is cut out for battle in a way a normal human being is not and trained well too but some things are just natural and can’t be trained to the level of of recall and detail and he still remains so humble and honest too super impressive guy
You’re a hell of human Jules, to have a conversation like this and hearing your mindset and thoughts throughout this pod have made me subscribe. What an absolute legend of a story, we don’t have the same military pride in Australia that you guys have in the states but this was a pleasure to watch and just like you I learn so much every time you talk to someone about the GWOT
100% support thank you so much for what you have done for us!! Our veterans deserves the best America has to offer them!! Im 54 and have 2 Granddaughters and get to be a Bop Bop as my oldest babygirl calls me. And live free because of men like this!!!
I love to hear it Josh -- thank you my brotha! I have a playlist on my RUclips channel page (under playlists) called Military and Combat interviews. If you enjjoyed this one, there are some pretty amazing veterans in that playlist as well (Shawn Ryan, Mike Ritland, Remi Adeleke, Joe Teti, Dale Comstock, Ryan Tate, etc.)
I appreciate the work you and your team does so much! I understand wanting to remain humble and downplay it all but you all deserve to be recognized for getting so many of us through the tough times in our lives, consistently we tune in and for 1,2,3+ hours and in that time the outside world just seems to disappear as we immerse ourselves in your podcasts with the guests you have on. Obviously we can see that you're very professional and good at what you do but on the grander scale of things the impact that you're making in the world is a beautiful thing!
@juliandorey the amount of people your podcasts help just from listening to vets that have been in the same situation and understanding that they arnt alone and its okay. But thank you to All of them. I wish we had a podcast for all the uk vets. Everyone thats served deserves a community around them to show help and support they deserve, we wouldnt have our lifes the way they are without them.
Cool dudes here.. thankful for them. I can't imagine the mental and physical horror... these veterans need more and more support . I hope we can all agree to support them more. First time seeing this channel, glad I did . Good code
Thank you gentlemen for your service. I’m a military brat and the mother of an Airmen first class. My sister in law served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in around 05’, was a psych nurse and came home and started helping w/PTSD at Stanford. These stories are so important. Freedom isn’t free until our servicemen and woman are. Much ❤🙏🏾💐
Danny - with you mate. I had the National Police Counter Insurgency Force training and mentoring down there at Numinayah. Put through 2 or so Battalions every 8 weeks - lolz they were terrible :) So many funny stories that you reminded me of. You really helped me mate - just listening and laughing I’m running PTSD pretty badly to. Hate going to psychologist. Every two weeks. Bugger Surgeries last year to take off left foot. Later surgery anaphylaxis grade 4 - off I went for 12 hrs. Really rubbed salt into the PTSD triggers man :) You’re a good bloke man. Thanks for everything you’ve done. Brad Australia
1:35:20 I appreciate you Danny! Thank you for doing the things I don’t have the balls to do (literally & figuratively lol). Thank you both for your service to our country. Ryan, VetPaw is awesome! Phenomenal guests. Great job as always Julian! ❤️
Amazing episode to start this 4th of July Weekend!! 💥 Thanks for their service 🫡 and thanks Julian for the hospitality to them and us 🫡 Much love to ya men ☝️
The longer I listened, the better this man became in my eyes. What a great man, father, husband, son and soldier. I wish the government did more for guys like you all. I can only hope my sons grow up to be as good of a human as you’ve lived yours. God bless you
❤Thank you to all of those who serve, have served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our local communities!! Thank you to the families and friends of them also! God Bless America!
@@JulianDorey Huge fan of the channel! I love how you try and bring on all sides of a conversation! It would be interesting if you brought on Dr. James Lindsay (New Discourses) podcast to talk about what is really going on within our (America and other western countries) society right now. He does a great job of breaking down what is really going on without making it partisan. I think it would be great to have someone like you to interview him because of your style and the way you try and understand things. One of his podcasts he did about 6 months ago about "classic liberalism" breaks some if the stuff we are seeing down well. Also, another one about "shareholder (or stakeholder) capitalism." Just a thought.
We have never met each other Mr. Hall but i have to say that im proud to call you my fellow countryman. I thank you for all that you have done for our country Mr Hall.
These Hero’s and the the people who respect them as family and I do will always be considered my community and look out for them as my own until my last breath. I can give you my word on that! I’m almost positive they would protect my children if absolutely necessary, no questions asked. Dave Thank you for doing something as scary as these 2 Amazing podcasts (lol)! EVERYTHING you have done for my family and my neighbors,I owe you more than a few rounds sir. Ultimate Respect 🫡 Cheers
My respects to the guys you’re talking to, but also for your buddies who didn’t return. I hope the recognition from a grateful public helps heal the experiences.
Dude, its really hard to talk about traumatic experiences because you have to re-live those things and those feelings all over again. It takes a lot of courage to do that, but its useful because it helps to process those things. Thanks for sharing your experiences and for doing the hard things for our country. We should always consider what we're asking of our countrymen before we send them to war. May we never forget the brave men and women that serve in uniform and the sacrifices they make on our behalf.
55:34 My grandparents lived in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area. My grandfather owned a second lot next to his house. We would shoot .22s (bird shot) there right in the middle of the neighborhood, using the old barn as a back stop. He was never worried about the cops showing up or giving him a hard time. This was back in the "90s. Not even that long ago.
Got pops a scope for his birthday, even sighted it for him the weekend before start of season. Turns out he never looked thru a scope from 71' til his death. Hell of a world.
These are the kind of professional operators you heard about back in the day. The soft spoken kind of guy that most people wouldn’t assume was Military, let alone a SOF guy. Today, most Military and SOF guys are easy to point out by the way they dress and act and carry themselves which is completely fine as well, they earned that right. I just grew up hearing about the type of guy on this episode.
Mr. Dorey, I just want to thank-you for creating a great platform that encourages critical thinking and offers a broader perspective.You inform yourself, become or are already knowledgeable about the topics and ask good questions. My only request...please remain humble and don't become a Joe Rogan. Love your show ❤️

I listened to a podcast that was one of his first, maybe first I don't recall, and I thought he was kind of an arrogant ass. While listening to numerous other podcasts he was on much later, I realized that he wasn't arrogant in his early episode, he was just giving short direct answers to things because he was so damn nervous. I can relate! YOU!, I felt like I was there because of how you explained things so matter of factly and so descriptively. I thought you were calm as a cucumber.
I'm sorry this is getting so long and I'm not doing a great job of explaining myself. I'm not, trying, to say all of this because of your "incredible combat stories", which they were, but it is YOU that stands out so much in this interview. You come across as one of the most fair, self aware, stand-up, incredible roll model, loving, honest and all around great person. That's a shit sentence, but it's the best I can do right now. I'm fully aware that you have been a dick and sometimes are still a dick, but overall I can't think of a better person to aspire to and lookup to than you. Thank you sir for all you've done, all you do and being an incredible example of what a human being should be. I prey to God that some of, or most, of the physical and mental negative effects that you acquired from fighting for people like me are getting less and less as time goes on. I'll quit rambling on and just say Thank You so much! I am honored to be able to live in a country that has men such as you representing and protecting us. God speed sir!
Excellent interview. You and many others are letting us Iraq and Afghanistan Vets tell the stories of what it was truly like on the ground. And Julian keep it up with the varying topics.
Thank you so much Jonathan! I'm glad you enjoyed it brotha! Got a bunch of diverse topic guests coming through over the next 2 months, we'll keep plugging!
Words can't express the appreciation I have for those soldiers. Bless them

Prior service gunner here….
In 08 towards the end of that year I can confirm they wanted us to shoot pin flares…. They also wanted us to throw tennis balls…
Shout out to Sgt Major Fritz that said fuck all that. Warning shots through the grill then shoot to kill.
haha good inside info right here! Thank you for your service brotha ✊
As an OIF 06-07 vet 4th infantry division 42nd field artillery AZTECS. I wanna say these guys are the real badasses the ones I seen walking around with beards and black duffels full of cash to persuade safe travels ect these guys deserve the best of America us vets stick together and more civilians need to know the hell of war we go thru for them to live their comfy lives behind a screen complaining Julian I personally appreciate what you do and the stories you have told thanks. 🤘🏽
Absolutely stunning the level of clarity and specificity with which this man can remember the minute details of firefights and battles and considering how long ago they happened too I am blown away by this level of clarity in a combat situation that proves he is cut out for battle in a way a normal human being is not and trained well too but some things are just natural and can’t be trained to the level of of recall and detail and he still remains so humble and honest too super impressive guy
You’re a hell of human Jules, to have a conversation like this and hearing your mindset and thoughts throughout this pod have made me subscribe. What an absolute legend of a story, we don’t have the same military pride in Australia that you guys have in the states but this was a pleasure to watch and just like you I learn so much every time you talk to someone about the GWOT
100% support thank you so much for what you have done for us!! Our veterans deserves the best America has to offer them!! Im 54 and have 2 Granddaughters and get to be a Bop Bop as my oldest babygirl calls me. And live free because of men like this!!!
✊💯
Much respect to all of you, most people need to know these stories and also to be documented for history, so much respect
That last part right there especially man. That's exactly right.
This pod cast is awsome Julian, and so is this warrior
Thank you Gerald -- Danny Hall is something else man!
Just found these through a shorts video and man this is the best podcast with veterans ive watched in a long time.
I love to hear it Josh -- thank you my brotha! I have a playlist on my RUclips channel page (under playlists) called Military and Combat interviews. If you enjjoyed this one, there are some pretty amazing veterans in that playlist as well (Shawn Ryan, Mike Ritland, Remi Adeleke, Joe Teti, Dale Comstock, Ryan Tate, etc.)
you should get a C-130 pilot on, that would be crazy to hear some of them stories
and shout out to you Julian you’re the realist guy out! I don’t think anyone else could get the information in more genuine way
I really appreciate that my brother, thank you!
I appreciate the work you and your team does so much! I understand wanting to remain humble and downplay it all but you all deserve to be recognized for getting so many of us through the tough times in our lives, consistently we tune in and for 1,2,3+ hours and in that time the outside world just seems to disappear as we immerse ourselves in your podcasts with the guests you have on. Obviously we can see that you're very professional and good at what you do but on the grander scale of things the impact that you're making in the world is a beautiful thing!
@juliandorey the amount of people your podcasts help just from listening to vets that have been in the same situation and understanding that they arnt alone and its okay.
But thank you to All of them. I wish we had a podcast for all the uk vets. Everyone thats served deserves a community around them to show help and support they deserve, we wouldnt have our lifes the way they are without them.
Cool dudes here.. thankful for them. I can't imagine the mental and physical horror... these veterans need more and more support . I hope we can all agree to support them more. First time seeing this channel, glad I did . Good code
Thank you gentlemen for your service. I’m a military brat and the mother of an Airmen first class. My sister in law served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in around 05’, was a psych nurse and came home and started helping w/PTSD at Stanford. These stories are so important. Freedom isn’t free until our servicemen and woman are. Much ❤🙏🏾💐
I was attached to this guys group in camp loki erbil in 2003 I was with the 2-14 Bravo CO 10th mountain
Whoa!! What a small world, that's so cool to hear!
Love your show brother
Thank you for your service!!
Definitely much love to him from a fellow Canadian thank you for keeping everyone safe huggs.
Shoutout to Canada!
These conversations really put the audience in the room, and excellent editing as well. Cheers from the NC mountains
Letsss gooo I was waiting for this second episode of this amazing man tell his heroic stories
Buckle up Dev!
@@JulianDorey almost a hour into the episode it’s so good so far can’t want to finish! 🔥💪🏼
You gained a new follower. You ask all the right questions!!!! Fascinating to say the least. Keep up the great work!!!
Listened to part 1 on the way back from Glacier National Park and hype to hear part 2. These convos are awesome. Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Love it brotha - happy 4th!
This dudes a legend only just started but know its be amazing, awesome job as always mate
Thank you James! You are one hundred percent correct there about Danny brotha.
One of the best interviews I’ve listened to, THANK YOU for what you’ve done for this country
Danny - with you mate. I had the National Police Counter Insurgency Force training and mentoring down there at Numinayah. Put through 2 or so Battalions every 8 weeks - lolz they were terrible :)
So many funny stories that you reminded me of. You really helped me mate - just listening and laughing
I’m running PTSD pretty badly to. Hate going to psychologist. Every two weeks. Bugger
Surgeries last year to take off left foot. Later surgery anaphylaxis grade 4 - off I went for 12 hrs. Really rubbed salt into the PTSD triggers man :)
You’re a good bloke man. Thanks for everything you’ve done.
Brad Australia
Damn, Danny is great and an awesome warrior. Love these guys. Julian, I am so glad you quit Wall Street and have amazing guest !
That he is April! (And me too haha)
1:35:20 I appreciate you Danny! Thank you for doing the things I don’t have the balls to do (literally & figuratively lol). Thank you both for your service to our country. Ryan, VetPaw is awesome! Phenomenal guests. Great job as always Julian! ❤️
Retweet to what you said about Danny and Ryan, Syd! And thank you!
Dude, that story about the c-130 pilot taking off again with two engines on fire just made my day!!!
Amazing episode to start this 4th of July Weekend!! 💥 Thanks for their service 🫡 and thanks Julian for the hospitality to them and us 🫡 Much love to ya men ☝️
Great podcast. Enjoyed the stories Danny told. What a badass. Julian is a great interviewer. Always asking the right questions and is very intelligent
The longer I listened, the better this man became in my eyes. What a great man, father, husband, son and soldier. I wish the government did more for guys like you all. I can only hope my sons grow up to be as good of a human as you’ve lived yours. God bless you
Thank you, Danny, and all the people who wear or who wore a uniform at one time. God bless you all.
julian dorey - amazing podcast!
Brooklyn Weaver, amazing comment!
Danny is just an absolute Operator Legend. God bless you Brother
Thank you for your service guys👊 excellent podcast
Something amazing about a dangerous man with a humble attitude like this.
Well said
Julian back with the heat!!
Good shit, bro..🍻🍻
We keep the fire burnin!
❤Thank you to all of those who serve, have served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our local communities!! Thank you to the families and friends of them also! God Bless America!
Amen to that!
@@JulianDorey
Huge fan of the channel! I love how you try and bring on all sides of a conversation! It would be interesting if you brought on Dr. James Lindsay (New Discourses) podcast to talk about what is really going on within our (America and other western countries) society right now. He does a great job of breaking down what is really going on without making it partisan. I think it would be great to have someone like you to interview him because of your style and the way you try and understand things. One of his podcasts he did about 6 months ago about "classic liberalism" breaks some if the stuff we are seeing down well. Also, another one about "shareholder (or stakeholder) capitalism." Just a thought.
Thank you Danny and both Dill and Kennedy, national guard members who gave their lives.
From my soul, thank you for all you have done for our country(me). You are a hero in my eyes
the beauty of spec ops is that your tier one assets do get expanded roe's... or at least a few square yards of carpet to sweep shit under...
Absolutely awesome guest
I'm really glad you liked him! Did you see his previous episode from last Thursday?
@@JulianDorey checkin it out now!
@@Alleeyin1933 LFG!!
my high school wood shop teacher was a KC130 pilot. one of the coolest guys i ever met lol
These dudes are clearly studs
We have never met each other Mr. Hall but i have to say that im proud to call you my fellow countryman. I thank you for all that you have done for our country Mr Hall.
Great episode! Thank you Danny for all that you have done for our country! You are appreciated sir!!!!
What a legend! What a pod! So stoked I found this channel! Thanks dude. Mr Hall…. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR 🫡
Danny Hall thank you for everything Sir!
Cleansing Thank you for sharing your story and bearing the grief of war for Americans to live in peace and prosperity 😢❤Dorey you are awesome too! 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it -- and thank you!
These Hero’s and the the people who respect them as family and I do will always be considered my community and look out for them as my own until my last breath. I can give you my word on that! I’m almost positive they would protect my children if absolutely necessary, no questions asked.
Dave Thank you for doing something as scary as these 2 Amazing podcasts (lol)!
EVERYTHING you have done for my family and my neighbors,I owe you more than a few rounds sir. Ultimate Respect 🫡 Cheers
🙌🙌🙌
@@JulianDorey 🖐🏻🤚🏻
“Very Nice”
My respects to the guys you’re talking to, but also for your buddies who didn’t return.
I hope the recognition from a grateful public helps heal the experiences.
Thank you for the great interviews Julian. Cmon everyone let’s push for 1 millions subscribers.
Im excited i found this podcast!!! Love every ep i've watched so far!
Danny is a bad dude! I really appreciate him and his crew! Building an engine for him now for his Stang!! It a honor to be able to help him
What an incredible human being, thank you sir
He's something else isn't he?
Dude, its really hard to talk about traumatic experiences because you have to re-live those things and those feelings all over again. It takes a lot of courage to do that, but its useful because it helps to process those things. Thanks for sharing your experiences and for doing the hard things for our country. We should always consider what we're asking of our countrymen before we send them to war. May we never forget the brave men and women that serve in uniform and the sacrifices they make on our behalf.
Danny Hall is an amazing guest! I've enjoyed both episodes.
Love hearing these stories from the pipe hitters that my measly line units were always supporting 😂
Hey you were out there brotha, that's amazing in and of itself!
much respect to this hero 🙏🏽

55:34 My grandparents lived in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area. My grandfather owned a second lot next to his house. We would shoot .22s (bird shot) there right in the middle of the neighborhood, using the old barn as a back stop. He was never worried about the cops showing up or giving him a hard time. This was back in the "90s. Not even that long ago.
This is my favorite podcast, this episode in particular, excellent story telling and imagery
I love the humanity and respect you have for our brothers
Got pops a scope for his birthday, even sighted it for him the weekend before start of season. Turns out he never looked thru a scope from 71' til his death. Hell of a world.
That Man is a a remarkable Person so humble
Agreed Michael
BEEN ANTICIPATING TF OUT OF PART 2 !
S/O THE BiG BLUDDA JULIAN ! 🇺🇸💯🇺🇸
These 🔥 ass pods are next level !!
wouldn't b possible w/o you bro 💃🏻
Thank you for supporting me and this show brotha! Buckle up for this one!
Thank you, men. Good to hear truth spoken.
Julian, i feel like you need to get all the vets you can on. If its as cleansing as he says, you might just end up saving lives. Thanks Julian.
Thank you brother
✊✊
I really like what he said about prayer at the end definitely solid advice
One of the best pods on the interlinks.
These are the kind of professional operators you heard about back in the day. The soft spoken kind of guy that most people wouldn’t assume was Military, let alone a SOF guy. Today, most Military and SOF guys are easy to point out by the way they dress and act and carry themselves which is completely fine as well, they earned that right. I just grew up hearing about the type of guy on this episode.
This was one of my favorites I’ve seen on here in a MINUTE. When Danny said “ fucking butthole “ though that one took me out 😂
Thanks for your service, sir..
excellent show
Thank you Ken!
Mr. Dorey, I just want to thank-you for creating a great platform that encourages critical thinking and offers a broader perspective.You inform yourself, become or are already knowledgeable about the topics and ask good questions.
My only request...please remain humble and don't become a Joe Rogan.
Love your show ❤️
p.s. Julian ,big thankyou for introducing me to Danny Jones.
You're welcome for that!
Thank you for your service.
Thats my boy! Truly inspiring guy here y'all.
best podcast ever JD what a team w amazing insights on Patriotism!
You’re a good man Danny. Thank you for telling your story brother🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
😮 C130 Pilot ! LEGEND
11 hour firefight... Kids, on God I'm never gonna complain about my 12 hour hospital shifts again.
“How do you even engage guys in the pitch black dark?”
“CLOSE”
We need this guy on the Shawn Ryan show. Love your channel.
Shit might as well get him on let Friedman too
