Great story. My brother, Michael McNulty, served with Bob in the Delta force for a long time. My brother and Bob were killed together in June 2005. I will never forget the sound of my mother‘s voice when she called to tell me that my brother had died. Two great heroes, never forget.
I recognised the names because Chris Van Sant has spoken highly of your brother and Bob in every interview.
Bless your family and your sacrifices are appreciated
@@vitigaymer1053 Thank you!
As a veteran it really just tears me apart especially feeling for your mom and you. These men in the Unit are special men that make up about 0000.1% of the population. Their selfless sacrifice is never heard of but it’s greatly appreciated! God bless you and your mom ! RIP Mike Mac and Bob!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i knew you're brother briefly before he went to selection. he was admired by so many, a great nco. when i learned of his death it hit harder than some others i knew very well
I am truly sorry for your loss
Small world, I served with Bob and his twin brother John when they were privates in A co 3d Rangers (when Stan McChrystal was Captain McChrystal and commanded A co). Good men and and a great loss for his family and this country.
Small community..but yea it can seem that way.
Robert was 7th SFG 1st bat ?
Pat has a good heart.
Nicest dognapper ever.
"Having a good heart........basis dude stuff "
Pat’s dog-napping is a prime example of a man who knows the distinction between doing the right thing and doing what’s right.
They ain’t the same thing.
Just when I thought Pat couldn't be cooler. Kidnapping abused dogs? What a great dude.
I know Bob's brother Dan. He got a street named after Bob and displays a memorial for Bob on his property. RIP MSG Horrigan
Who wants to have a beer with Mac and hear some stories?
I did. I had a class in New Orleans with Pat and Mike Pannone. We had a dinner the first night and I got there early. Pat, Mike and I are there very early. We sat at the bar for a long time until people showed up. I picked up the tab for our beer and raw oysters. I didn’t say a thing, just listening to them reminiscing.
We need more stories! Like this
That's integrity man. We need more people like you brother.
Awesome story SGM Mac. This just shows the overall character of the guys at the SMU. And shows how you all were the best hands down. I was at Bragg in the 90’s too and we always looked up to you guys at the Red Roof Inn. I had a a Honda XR600 and I use to ride on Bragg too, mostly at the Spider 🕷 Pit behind Ritz Epps Center and off long street . Bragg was a great post , we use to shoot at the range at Mckellars Lodge Rd.
The red roof inn. Across the fence. Over there. Anyone ever know a dude walking around bragg with long ass hair, wearing a name tape that said…moonshine? Thought that was funny when I saw it at the burger king.
@@nicholasrakestraw9707 we did some security around the perimeter, and at CAG entrance to Pope, not Green ramp. And there times we would run into guys at Callahan Physical Fitness and the Pool.
Great stories of friendship and love in the Brotherhood. The dogs though... we have 2 rescues right now (we lost our oldest in February just before Valentines). I love that he wanted that dog, and love it even more that you rescued him from that miserable existence.
My wife never wanted a "hound", well we have a 5 month old one now. Came up from Texas, him and his sister were on death row when they were rescued. I love dogs, people I tolerate.
Shows your character that you looked out for the dogs, & took charge to take care of them!
Love & Appreciate the life-saving dog tale, (no pun intended), aswell as the - "not gonna let that deer go to waste" tale - good shit !! - enjoyed listening.
Tail?
Good on you for rescuing the dogs. 🍻 Great stories from the good old days
The dog napper! AWESOME story!!
Sound like the epitome of a great dude. Always enjoy these stories.
I’m glad you rescued that dog Pat.
The part about kidnapping the dogs to rescue them is absolutely fantastic. What a guy Pat is eh. My hat off to you sir. I also love animals
Man, there was this online shop I used to buy kit from occasionally, I can't remember the shop now, but I remember that right after Bob passed they site would require you to see a page about him before you got to continue to in to shop. I read that page several times and studied that photo, same one in this video. Thankful for dudes like him...
Larue Tactical.
@@clarktucker2066 THATS IT! Thanks man!
5:50... Pat sounds like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys with that little giggle.
Dog kidnapping? Love it! My wife and I saw a Jack Russell terrier chained up out in a snowstorm in my hometown of Dodge City Kansas one day. We went by several times and he was there just shivering with no protection from the bitter cold and wind. We hatched a plan to "kidnap" the dog, and we were dead serious about it.
You can just picture me, an above-knee amputee, trudging thru 14" of snow trying to get that dog, but I damn sure was going to do it! When we went to carry out the deed, the owner had finally let the dog inside.
I have zero use for losers who mistreat pets.
I have a use for losers who mistreat their pets...targets.
@@adriandarcy-taylor6429 Well played!
Man.. Harnett county. Memories.
😂 That’s great man!! That sounds like every Midwest farmland hunter I know…. It don’t matter the time of year or the time of day or night…. You hit a deer and they hear about it!!! They are like “BRO! Where did this happen at!?? How long ago?? Is the deer dead??…. OK! Load up, take me to it bro!! Fresh back straps off the grill incoming baby!!!!”
Pat, what a great dude. Definition of a good American. Just comes across as solid in every way that matters.
Bob sounds like fun dude.
love the dog kidnapper
Small world. I lived in Harnett cou to. Erwin then Coats. Love these stories 🇺🇲💪🏽💪🏾💪💪🏿🇺🇲
There is so much to learn from people like you, Pat. You are a great role model.
LOL Scarfed him up almost sounds like he ate the freaking Dog LMFAO
That dog story made my day
That deer story is the epitome of a true Texan
Pat nor Bob are Texan's he was born in New York. Bob was born in Maine.
@@stevenfrost6441 Almost. Pat was born in Connecticut.
@@stevenfrost6441 according to everything I've read Bob was born and raised in Texas
@@stevenfrost6441 They should definitely be made honorary Texans.
@@Ian-yk4pk I've seen a whole lot of contradictory information about Bob.
In different articles he has been said to have been born in, variously...
Aroostock County, Maine
Limestone County, Maine
Austin, Texas
And born in...
January 1951
June 1965
The guy deserves a decent biography (book) or at very least a reliable, factual short biographical summary.
The man was a SOF legend. He deserves to be honored properly.
I saw a dog on a porch in Santa Monica CA, this is years ago, a big, mangy miserable husky - chained on the porch in the hot sun in summer, out on the rainy porch in winter. I had enough, cut the chain, took him to the vet, who shot him full of antibiotics, flea meds, mange meds, etc. Shipped him to a buddy in CT who had 5-7 dogs, on 100 acres. This is the heaven where dogs go when they die, kind of existence. That dog had 8-9 more years romping with the other dogs, sleeping in front of the fire places and eating and playing and fooling around with everybody. Blue…good dog.
Good save
Pat - just a good fucking dude - rescuing dogs, kicking ass... good stuff.
Pat Mac pet rescue. Always a primary objective no matter what.
Your a good story teller, these particular subject matter you have tremendous animation, energy and candidness. Thanks
Dood the dog RESCUING story is epic. You definately were rescuing and not dog napping 🤣.
Excellent.
dog VHT recovery lol awesome
killer dog-napping story :D
Good stuff, excellent discussion, Good times.
I love the dog kidnapping story because I feel the same way. Good on you Pat.
Oh that’s incredible lol must be nice to be able to just zero your rifle at night when you feel like it. Anyone in the military knows how much planning and documents goes into setting up a range for troops to zero a rifle! Goes to show how it was back in the day and how highly trusted operators are to be able to sign out a rifle, have access to sign out a rifle and ammo (usually kept separate), get on a range, and shoot… All after hours too. an understat
Can you show me where the deer is? Love it.
Great stuff thank you
good stuff Pat. i really like the content you have.
If you know an operator around 2001,2 that got their windshield hit by a chem light in the morning… while people were rucking down Lamont. Let him know I’m sorry… but he should not have been hauling ass past people rucking in the dark.
Thank you for taking those dogs away from hell and giving them a chance at a good Dog’s life. thank you.
Can you imagine Delta coming to kidnap your dog and you walk outside like wtf oh nevermind fine have the dog
R.I.P. Bob!
Good stuff bro
Dunno the man but his picture is on the Larue website.
Great stuff!!!
It wasn't kidnapping it was liberating.
Were you there when Bob was in the Balkans and found himself and his teammates in the middle of a minefield and led the way out of it or were you over in training at the time?
"If anyone was ment to be a boberator... it was bob."
Sounds like a damn good feller.
So that’s what Delta Force does in there off time. Hostage Rescue ops on abused canines.
That’s dope af
Dog Opresso Libre. Epic.
The one story could be told much simpler like so ... I hit a deer on the trails with my dirtbike and my friend had me take him to it so as to bring it back and eat it .. funny how some people are good at that , the art of story telling that is .
I didnt kidnap dogs but if I saw dogs like that I'd always feed them lol
This to me is the difference between SEALS and DELTA: Grown men professional soldiers over frat boys with weapons SEALS.
B Cool, you ain’t cool. Your a fool.
What a silly thing to say
Dufus. I know a bunch from both camps. They are badasses. Categorizing them like that is just stupid.
@@danielmcnulty8736 "Dufus" 🤡🤡🤡🤡 "Categorizing" them as badasses like that is just stupid! Not all SEALS are "badassess," crying when getting interviewed by NCIS😭😭.
Wow
WOW Good deal there.
when you say Bob scarfed up that dog.... you dont mean he ate it right?
4 some months later Tony Yost
Those type of people are actually the best to know but one thing dont underestimate them!
I was a real bad ass guy growing up and not in a good way. Then when I started to get to my teens and after so say hell week or things like this was bad but caracter building well i was like Hanoi Hilton.
I told my mom i want to go fight in Vietnam plus i was so into the history of war and weapons systems.
I lived a very violent childhood. I had a lot of demons yet i found i was that type of guy i used my past to help and show others that i was sensitive but when needed would runin to the fire .
I was working came across 3 guys stealing a car 2 guys my size one garden gnome lol
Well the driver after pumping out of the truck with my partner disappeared from sight and the 2 other guys my size got introduced to my light got back in the truck and locked the door.
The little guy ended up stabbing me got me not bad but I did not know tell after i chased him down got the knife from him and found out that he was one of my friends from school days.
I say like a lion they are so beautiful but when they have to they will do what needs to be done.
Seriously? No respect…
Typical Horrigan...Texas transplant; both brothers were awesome guys.
Does anybody want this dog? 🐶 Mac Rescue 🦴 🐾🐾🙏🏼😂
Basic dude stuff….dog napping.
Maybe I am missing something?
Pat rescued the abused dog.
Pat gave the dog to Bob
Then Bob "scarfed him up"?
So Bob killed and ate the dog?
Wait, scarfed him up? Did he eat the dog??
I can’t tell if you’re joking dude
@@christianmauro1394 Yeah, bad joke
I est deer
I prefer to est chicken
He eats deer
Basic dude stuff
I used to kidnap dogs - Pat Mac
Hahaha.....❤ 🤍 💙
Didn't know the unit had a 18DR series MOS, eighteen dog rescue. 🦴
