- Dale Comstock was the youngest operator in Delta Force when he joined from the 82nd Airborne and was the master breacher on the military's first successful hostage rescue mission, Operation Acid Gambit which rescued Kurt Muse from the clutches of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Comstock's adventures didn't end when he retired from the Army just before 9/11.

Truth is, his handlebar moustache actually made selection. Dale was just happy to be a part of the experience!
This should be the number 1 comment😂😂😂
Had an amazing chance to hold about a 2-4 hour phone conversation with dale not too far back. This guy has an amazing heart and is probably the most inciteful men ive ever had the chance to talk to. I was going through a personal turning point in my life where I needed to hear everything he had to say at that point in time in my life. Amazing individual with a ton of wisdom.
Wow, amazing....
Dale really does have a good heart, he's tough to the bad guys and kind to the good guys, I think that's part of what makes him so interesting. I think it says a lot about the US that the tough/kind combination is how most of our Operators are wired. All of the Tier 1 guys I've seen on podcasts had that combination going on. They're actually pretty humble about how badass they are. They're at a level far above Tier 2 but they never "punch down" at us or the regular guys.
This guy really lived a movie of a life talking about High end assassination operations like another day at the office, gotta respect it
Cus he's full of shit
We need a Dale podcast now! Dude probably had the best stories and knows how to tell them
A true Quiet Professional.
"his name is HD, we call him HD for Harley Davidson, he loved Harley Davidson, even though he'll never own one..." Man... nothing is more of a tear jerker for men then hearing about another man not being able to ever get his favorite ride... MAN thats so sad. THOUGH the army pilot was badass AF
Hopefully Hd got citizenship and the guys pooled their money to get him a HD
Yall are delusional, just saying 🤠 lol
This guy is amazing...and brings humor to what is a deadly operation.
Dale is such a cool guy I’d really like to hear some more stories from Dale what a personality
Every time Dale would describe the FOBs in the valley Restrepo immediately came to mind. I remember he and Jack talking about An incident in Yemen shortly after it took place.
Yah me too, and Wanat
You don't hear much about Delta, that's why I love them the most.
Dale sure does love Team guys haha
The way Dale inspires man it just punches you in the face out the gate. Exceptional person.
Awesome interview!! Nothing like hearing some Dale Comstock stories. Dale is so good at telling his stories. You can envision almost being there with the teams with his descriptive storytelling and enthusiasm. Great job guys!! #10thMountain
Love your channel. Nothing but respect for SOF volunteers. But one thing he says in this is that these “normal” army dudes were living in the dirt no WiFi nothing fighting every day for 12 months - I’d love some more coverage on the “normal” army units that occupied space and lived in the dirt. There are a LOT of them and the story doesn’t get told with as much gusto as the “special” guys and gals you interview. Not a critique, not meant for disrespect, just hoping for some coverage. Thanks 🇺🇸
I waa regular Army and then SOF. The regular military is 100% overlooked then it comes to special operations which bothered me for a while. But then I realized nobody wanted to hear about how much janitor action of sweeping, mopping, and cleaning bathrooms you do in the regular army so nobody cares. Even the most boring SOF career is more exciting than 99.9% of the regular Army something my old Sergeant Major used to say and he was right.

Nuff said
I think there are 3 women in spec ops combat units.
@@TheTeamHousePodcast Stories of the “regular” marines who soent more time doing cqb in irag with full length m16s and old shitty low speed gear and the most basic training than entire seal teams and odas did in whole deployments
clearing dozens of hot houses a day taking blocks ans blocks house by house barricaded insurgent by barricaded insurgent….guys like the ones the legend Doug zambiec led
Someone close to him to tell his story would be amazing cast too that man was a true lion
I went through a class from Dale and Eric Wilson when they owned Global Security Consultants. He was an wonderful instructor and amazing shooter. I learned a lot from him and Eric. Love these guys.
That first story reminded me of my 06-07 Iraq deployment. We were a small airborne infantry Delta company(3 20 man platoons) and lived on a combat outpost with no electricity or running water. Every day we were getting into some shit. Patrol all day, run ambushes all night. About 10 months in we got stop lossed and did 15 straight months. My unit lost 53 men KIA that deployment, and at least triple that wounded. For nothing. GERONIMO!
Edit: I will clarify that “my unit” is referring to my brigade, considering we almost always deploy as a brigade combat team, not a platoon. Common sense. The 4th BCT(Airborne) 25th ID suffered heavy casualties in our 06-07 deployment, hence the 53 KIA, and who knows how many times wounded. All easily verifiable with the magic google machine.
That the stuff don’t get about war in afghan
53 men KIA? Cool story, bro with a Vietnam war era patch as your avatar.
@@jakemorrison2104 look up 4th BCT 25th ID Iraq deployment 06-07. Easily verified there guy.
@@trashpanda314 You just said three 20 man platoons... So you lost 53 out of 60 men? LOL...
@@kevinharrison5620 since when does “my unit” mean a company? Clearly talking about my DEPLOYABLE force. As in a Brigade. Reading comprehension is tough, I know, but look above your comment for clarification.
dude is a freaking machine. Respect
Dale's The Shit... Strong 2nd Amendment Supporter and A Genuine American...
The FOB was FOB Bostick. The COPs were Keating, Lowell , Mace and Hatchet.
The OGA base was FOB Falcon.
Barg-e-Matal was in our sector but we were unable to effect it. TF Chosin 1-32 Infantry was up there to assist in the election in July of 2009.
The afghans he’s talking about we called Vipers. They were part of a counter terrorism pursuit team.
I could talk with you all about it all of you want.
Oh hell yeah. Tell me about the vipers
Jack laughed like through half this interview 😂 crazy stuff man ! Lol
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I could listen to him for days!
I’ve been watching a lot interviews with a lot of badass guys the last week or so. This guy is one of my favorite.
Oh
Champion of a man. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
AMEN Dale. Your energy and adventures are tonic to the Soul.
This guy is a god damn riot! His life story is friggin bonkers!
One of the best interviews i heard on Team House! Dale is fucking amazing.
one of the most interesting podcasts I have ever seen. Brilliant you guys just let him talk and tell his fantastic stories!
I have a lot of respect for the man, his experiences are incredible !
Excellent story! Thanks for your service!
RIP SGT Robert "Creature" Budrick #1SFG #RANGER # CONTRACTOR #TBI #22ADAY
My favorite Dale interview so far
Great show , thank you !!
I love hearing the stories of the bond our guys had with the Indigenous people they fought with. Even better when they come back and live in America. A lot like John Striker Meyer and his Indigenous brothers from the early SOG days.
Good stuff great guy. Always good to hear from you Dale.
Best episode. Thank you for the content and getting these amazing guests
Lol not sure why but I lost it when he said a couple privates at the OP smoked 12 dudes. Definitely the highlight of their deployment.
Great interview. The guy is on some decent amounts of TRT.
Eh, I’m sure once I’m old enough I will be too. It’s just part of getting older as a man.
Plus GH
If you are over 28 you should be too.
@@johnmarston2616 best decision I’ve ever made. I feel like I’m 15 again.
@@alek9411 absolutely not. Over 40 maybe.
excellent interview
great seeing Dale again
Grand slam interview, guest and moustache. Suggestion; ask Dale if he will come back on and talk about his cognitive conditioning theory, book & training PLEASE!?? I think it would be phenomenl advertising for him and incredibly interesting -- if he would be open to it.
1:22:00 that story there, we had a guy like that in my unit in the Marines, he was a SGT. He took 3 new boots to his house, got them drunk...when they passed out, he slipped pants down and got to suckin. One of them woke up while he was doing it and socked him in the eye, woke the other 2 up and they ran out of his house. He got told on, battalion NJP in front of everybody and they put him out, he still had a black eye when he was standing at attention in front of everybody. I think Dale has a story all veterans can relate to on some level, and many that a lot of us can't even fathom. Very cool and interesting guy, thanks for doing this interview.
Comstock is such a badass lol. Working with indig guys who will die for Americans goes back a long time, pretty cool.
From start to finish this episode was excellent.
This nicely accompanied his book. Well . Thank you
Loved this. Subscribed.
What a great story teller. Dale rocks. My new top "Tier 0" guy.
Greatly appreciate your life story. Thank you for your badass service. 😺👍🇦🇺
This dudes life story is the life most men dream of.
Nobody likes Dale more than Dale, so much for the " quiet professional" motto.
Great interview.
Best show ever, this guy was great
Special Pilots to fly damaged helicopters out ... What a job!
Imagine the job interview for that gig? I never knew about that gig. Wow
@@jardinero9112 A Previous Surviving Crash Landing
Bad dudes...
Dale is the real deal.
Awesome interview guys!
LOL... this guy is great. Reminds me of myself. Thanks Dale for putting up with all the BS over the year... glad you made home safely. Blessings.
My dream is to serve with my brothers again. As a Army vet I miss it all the time.
Diabetes fucked my career up. I would've payed money to stay with my buddies.
I was an Executive Protection Agent for 3 years right aftet the military for one of the richest people in the world. When he says being an Executive Agent aka body guard being crap he means it. I hated it

Dang man, this dude is radical
Dale is the man we need !! Great example of what men are naturally capable of.
Light and Airborne infantry go through hell! Pro Patria!
Awesome stories. Respect.
I would love to see a podcast with Michael Smith the author of killer elite I’m sure it would be interesting
Great interview! Very informative.
Dale is the white BA Barakes from A Team!!
If BA and Murdoch had a clone...
Brilliant.
Need a couple moves and a TV series about Dale , Foreal !
This dude is a total badass
I’m Dales story the Jewish guy AG is Abraham Golan and the other owner was Navy Seal Isaac Gilmore and the navy seal that got arrested in Serbia was Daniel Corbett a former seal team 6 member. Sounds like an Israeli operation although First Spear Operations was an American company. Pretty interesting stuff.
I know you mean well but opsec. The reason he’s vague on names is for their safety and privacy
Thank you for the clarification.
12:45 thats a huge dog.
The earth is lucky he is one of the good guys!
“I am a One Man Army” fuck yeah
Perhaps it's because there are just so few of them out there in the public, but the former Unit guys all have something different about them. They all just seem like they're straight out of a spy novel.
Incredible
Ed should be on the show. Very cool dude.
Ed’s manifesto? That guys a liar and snake oil salesman.
100%
Really awesome guest
What a badass
Yea in the KORENGAL VALLEY IT WAS CALLED OUTPOST RESTREPO
Just catching up great one to restart with
I love hearing comstock claim to have a phd 😂
This just GREAT story after GREAT story!
A true American badass
Delta > Seal Team 6
CAG-DEVGRU=JSOC. They are 90% same with the seal just having a better water ability. And yes units have operators that are public, shows, and books about them. Simply the two best units in the world along with our cousins in the SAS and SBS. Make me feel super safe to go to sleep! As Americans I don’t think many people understand how lucky we are to have such assets.
@@Becarhodzic dev and other seal unuts dont have the force multiplier or indig working capabilities gb and cag have either dale sums that uo well ….largely due to most cag guys comeing from sf where that is their primary mission ….just the way dev guys talk about working with indig tells u everything you need
To know about that too
@@herdrugby11 Tier one units have bunch of supporting elements pretty much on every missions they do. Nothing is done alone!
@@clintcoop5717 There isn’t! There is people in certain units that will go out in the field alone to do a mission. But they will have someone always supporting them.
Dales story with the pink Phantom had to be about the Princess of Dubai haha
Just bought his book awesome interview!!
Should definitely Invite him back for round 2.
Impressive war fighter. He's obviously not a fan of the navy SEALs though - would have liked to hear more about his experiences with them.
Yeah, but he’s really so into himself, it’s hilarious. A huge turn off for when you want to take someone seriously, cause you never know if he’s embellishing SOME things, to some extent. Whereas, when a humble person who’s done some of these things is interviewed, it becomes more about how awesome other people are.
Dude lmao the part where he got hired by a millionaire billionaire actress type and it got really weird quick was hilarious
First off, Dale got a Bad ass Stash.... Nuff said.
Amazing jack !
Dale is a fucking legend, so glad to hear he is writing more books!
Excellent video.
This was the most fun podcast I have ever listened too ... holy shit!!! Lmao 😂
‘In closing, I’m not rich.’ Dude basically spent > 50% of the video talking all the money people pay him. (To be clear, not hating just found it kinda funny)
I'd rather get in a gunfight than get married to a crazy woman 😆
Very cool. If I wasn't so old I would have tried to join a voluntary force . 🤘♥️🤘
1:11:39 This "It is a business" attitude I have read that gets established when men did this line of work (and soldiering as a whole) for many years. I read that that was the attitude of Erik Price (CEO of Blackwater) and of the Wagner PMC guys.
Guys, love your channel, but could you add chapters ?
Wonder how many of his guys that where still alive he helped get out at the fall.
Why the coffee in the bomb?
This is the navy seal (not navy seal) copypasta guy in real life
That dude? WW? Yea he ain't playin
Lol when he said stomp the shot out of any 29 year old I’m like damn I’m 29 😂 but I’d be honored to lose to dale any day of the week
You can tell Jack secretly thinks Dale is a bit of a tool, just a bit, just a tiny bit here and there. In an “oh, brother” type of way. Like maybe Dale would have been more like a DEVGRU guy personality wise.
