    We need combat stories of ww2 vets and Korean vets. Theres not to many of them left and we should continue to hear their stories while we can.

      I kindly disagree. I feel like this podcast is specifically geared towards post-Vietnam vets. I feel like we’ve heard and seen 1,000 stories from WWII and Vietnam through movies, books and online combat stories. It’s the present day vets from Afghan/Iraq wars that have very little stories told. That’s why I enjoy and subscribe to this podcast, because of the more current generation stories. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @@LP3me you would be suprised at how ww2 vets help newer vet cope with their stuggles. Combat is combat and warriors are warriors no matter the time. The stories of a 19yr old kid storming a pill box is the same as a 19yr old sweeping a house. I watch this channel to hear the experiences and the willingness to push foward in the face of danger.
      The stories of solders crossing gas fields or remembering the time 200k enemy troops surrendered.

    Great story! Thanks for doing this interview. I’ve learned from all, but this is really relatable regardless of injured or not. If we look at our lives we’ve all hit a “Bam” point where our life didn’t go as expected but we look back and see how things ultimately changed for the better.

    Another great story! This guy is so humble, amazing story. I’m glad you let them elaborate on the spiritual side of things, it is relatable.

    One of the best stories about life and death, I love how he described the realms that you can enter when you have a near death experience. Regardless of your religion, all men know that we are not just flesh and bone.

    I’m not a ranger. But when he talks about God’s presence telling him, “Left turn Ranger!!” , wow, I get it. As vets we’re accustomed to planning & prepping and contingencies. And then there’s the quick “frago”.. “left turn Ranger” and just like that you’re on a different path, youre not lost, just redirected. 🇺🇸👍🏼

      Agreed outdoors was dope...catching ppl in their normal environment makes the best content across the board ppl like genuine and 88% of sane ppl think covid is a fake mk ultra sort of mind control...i work with the.homeless downtown san diego and the hospitals would fight over dead covid bodies so they could declare their hospital had a covid death and recieve more funding than the family's of 20 covid deaths patiens could scrounge up does this money go to patients or family's nope goes to the board of directors of said hospital

    There’s always a flip side to those choices between family and the job. I’d thought about SF from a relatively young age I was married when I enlisted and chose the USAF because of my wife. While I’m basics, combat control came in and did a presentation and I felt a strong pull to try it, but it would have meant a year or more away from her if I made it through selection and didn’t think it was fair to her. So I didn’t. Turns out she was a dependopotamous succubus. She wasn’t worth the choice.
    Kids, of course, add another layer of consideration.
    What’s done is done. No sense in harping on it. Preaching to myself.
