I don’t think I’ve ever thought of someone as being “too humble” not like it could ever be a bad thing. But damn man, you are a bad ass! You are far from weak homie, thank you for all you’ve done for this country!!
What an absolute Superstar. I also know there are many parts, also an incredible challenge that would test any man, that he didn't even mention. Wow. This has inspired me to make a change.
Mr Fugit, I have listened to all your podcast in reverse order. While all are great, some stand out more than others. It’s the “too dumb to know better” that are the most relatable to me. This 2 part podcast and one other are by far the best so far. Kudos for doing this interview and Kudos to Ryan for his service. Thank you both! Both true American Hero’s.
Brother, amazing story.. The ilizarov fixator ( halo ) is an amazing medical device that saves so many limbs but the pain is no joke...Wore one on my right leg knee to ankle for 8 1/2 months...during my rehab at Walter Reed a female soldier had one also but opted to have her leg cut off cause she couldn't handle the pain. I understood her choice and sympathized but I was also somewhat angry with her choice at the same time being we had so many amputees that didn't have a choice... Glad you rucked up and drove on. Proud of you and all our wounded who persevered. A little jealous of ya lol...I rehabbed at Bragg for 3 years after leaving Walter Reed...My Legs heeled great but it was other wounds that prvented me from being able to stay in the fight...I could have stayed in as an instructor or any non deployable job....I couldnt do it.. I got med retired in 08...So proud of you and 2 friends who fought through disabling injuries, overcame and then when back to the war. Bless you
This is an awesome channel. Every American shud hear the stories of these heros and what they have been thru for the citizens of this country. Anyone burning or bashing the flag shud be ashamed of them selves and or move to a country like Afghanistan. Thank u for your service. All of u
You Sir, Mr. Hendrickson, are an example of that higher mentality that defines the difference between the common soldier and the Green Beret. Thank you for your example. I may lose all renal function, while trapped in Panamá, desiring to be with friends in Florida. I need to create hope, as you did.
Having this great podcast which gives individual combat veterans an opportunity to talk, tell their stories and give the uninitiated as well as other veterans a coal face look at their experiences. Could you imagine if after the Second World War, First World War and even the Civil War there was a podcast whereby people could get this amazing oral history. I do of course recognise that there are great oral histories and narrative histories (Stephen Ambrose one of the finest WW2 historians & Ken Burns’ Civil War) of people from those wars, however it’s the immediacy and the focus of the individual story that makes this podcast special. Just think that in two hundred years this interview will be available for students and citizens to watch and learn. Fantastic. This is a post service service. Well done.
All I can say after listening to both episodes twice!!!! Is holy shit WOW!!!! WHAT A TRUE AMERICAN SOLDIER AND AMAZING HUMAN. Definitely going to find his book. I can definitely relate to living in a tent for a year and a half with my dad at the lakes in Colorado while he saved to build a a little 900sq ft home for us.
I really enjoyed listening to Ryan’s story. What a genuine & humble guy. He is such an inspiration for anyone dealing with hard times in their life. Truly amazing! Great job!
I’m currently fighting to find the right path in my life. Ryan’s story was very eye opening for me. Thank you for putting this content out there so people struggling can find a way out of the suck! ✊ A very humble man that has gone through horrible times. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, both of you!
Hendricks makes it sound easy "Were gonna run.. cool.. wait what" lol but not a joke, and nobody is laughing.. but.. he says it in a way that makes me smile. Thx for ur being a stud. Both u guys R studs. Straight 2x4's
Awesome podcast guys! I remember our IED training being in an baseball field sweeping dirt at each other trying to put on a Tourniquet while getting yelled at. Thanks for the quality content fellas!
49:56 - all of that was something no one had ever said before that relates to my situation. Amazing words and advice from a totally different path in life. Thank you for these interviews.
I truly enjoy your series. I am not a Veteran but was married to 2 Vietnam Combat vets. Prior to either marriage I was in college demonstrating against the war, 1968-69. My first husband did 2 tours as a Door Gunner/Crew Chief flying SF’s into Cambodia and Laos. My second was an MP in Saigon but hated the duty so he volunteered to be attached to the Navy on PBR’s running combat ops on the Mekong Delta. Both made it home over 50 yrs ago and to this day refuse to talk about it and never admit to their service. I am still angry at the Government and Military for how the veterans were treated😡
@11:59 Kyle Morgan tells the same story from his perspective on the Shawn Ryan Show. I'm listening to "Tip of the Spear" right now on Audible. Fantastic story of this American Hero's journey.
You should interview Wes ‘H’ Hennessy he is an Australian commando special forces that had done multiple deployments and missions with delta force , DEVGRU , ODAs , etc As a Australian in Afghanistan
Tyler Morgan on shawn ryans podcast talks about picking up Ryan and moving him to a different spot so the air craft could medivac him out of there. It's a unique thing to hear what his experience was saving Ryan's life.
Ryan, two suggestions: 1) some in-person interviews when possible would be a great future for the show; and 2) conduct a trade-off interview with another podcast/podcaster. We can get another great Combat Story interview and then see YOUR story on the reciprocal podcast. Bottom line, more Combat Story. Also, would love for someone to be brave enough to interview Richard Marcinko. Understand why the SEAL community podcasters are note likely to have him as a guest. But the stories he has are historic and someone needs to draw the line between the myth, the legend and reality. You’re just the guy to do it. Awesome show!
Well worth the wait for part 2. But still gave you a good cussing. I was at TK as civilian. Know 7th grp master Tony P. Great guy and team. Didn’t catch date of his injuries. FST at Tarin Kowt was amazing group. Calvin Harrison was SF guy who was lost while I was there. Might be Ryan’s friend. Same engagement CAC Mark Forester was lost trying to save Calvin Harrison. September,2010.
@@TipoftheSpearLandmineRemoval Sept 2020 was rough on SOTF-SE. 2 controllers, 3SEALs, electronic warfare officer attached to squids, and SF Harrison all lost in a couple weeks. Petraeus & all top brass showed up for SEALs memorial.
I hope he plays football again! What you went through is as tough mentally and physically as anything. That being said it could always be worse and how we respond to these challenges shapes who we are! 🇺🇸
Lots of combat gurus on this planet and lots of dudes can be called heroes but how many of them have been bitten by a shark while saving kids? Salute to this stud.
Long comment alert but I need him to know that something he said just pulled me out of the hell I've been in for 3 yrs. My sister was murdered by a serial killer when I was 12, I found her body, so they found him he's in jail. But this has impacted a lot of my mindset but he just said that we tell people what happens to us expecting they will understand but they cant really unless they've been in its. Its hard struggling with chronic pain health issues, I also have an e.coli strain so get infections so easily. Right now im homeless & was on the edge until he said that about expecting people to understand. Im grateful 99% of people don't understand the misery of what these horrific situations are about & the feelings that go along with them! But sometimes its takes random videos on others struggles to snap them out of going down that dangerous path i was on. So I hope your understand the gravity of what just happened bcuz it just saved my life honestly. Not trying to like promote being in TV or shows but my sisters story is on the ID channel, On the case with paula zahn, episode called "deadly predator". Only reason I told that part is bcuz I'm a real person whos not just trying to get symphony, but a real person who lived thru and actual nightmare & just letting u/him know how much he just helped this very real broken person. So thank u for your service, & thank u for making me snap out of the hell I.was just in!!!
SEVEN HUNDRED METERS they had to move him!?!?! HOE LEEE CHIT thats some work- I don’t care who you are; moving a large adult size military man in combat conditions and severely wounded at that 700 meters is a HELL of a task. Talk about insurmountable- but they got it done.
Team Ryan (Fugit) has been a roll call of the ultra elite and combat hardened. Imagine the think tank this group could be. Something like A.W.G. but for hire. Maybe the state department would think the idea sucks.. yeah probably. Lol
Thank God for adrenaline. I remember laying for 20min after breaking my femur, falling asleep from the pain but Id still crack jokes to make sure my buddies knew I was fine. definitely not a "tough guy" at all but adrenaline makes sure I can be one if it keeps me or my friends alive.
No, not dumb at all. All Steelers fans know who Rocky Bleier is. An NFL draftee drafted to Vietnam who had a grenade tear up his foot. Surgeries and lots of heart and he's a 4 time Super Bowl winning running back.
First Great video. Second Ones ready podcast uploaded a video with a guy from the 24th sts. Can you maybe have him on this channel and listen to his story. They talked a lot of great things but not a bunch of stories.
Was his leg reattached ? Thought I heard him say that no one picked up his boot . Guessing his foot and rest of his leg was with the boot ? What did I miss ? Regardless he’s one badass mfr. thank you so much for your service. Both of you
Yep true Americans will never leave a man behind but the Biden administration will as been proven in recent days. I hope I'm wrong. Thank you for your service. You are a true hero.

"Skingrafts & human feces" is my *favorite* garage band. 👍🏻
I’ve got an 11hr drive ahead. Need more from you! Stories are very interesting…
I listen to these podcasts stories, if that’s what you call them, on my 2 hour drives one way for business almost weekly. I love them
Funny you say that. I just went thru seven of them on my drive to Florida. Could have used about ten more
This is an awesome channel. Every American shud hear the stories of these heros and what they have been thru for the citizens of this country. Anyone burning or bashing the flag shud be ashamed of them selves and or move to a country like Afghanistan. Thank u for your service. All of u
Great interview. Thank you, Ryan, for your service and example of the American spirit. God bless.

I think out of everyone’s story so far, Ryan’s is definitely the most relatable. This was a very motivating and humbling story!

Every Combat story I've watched brings hope and inspiration to me.
This is a fantastic service to all and a great work. Please don't stop.
This guy is an incredible man! So humble, yet so strong in spirit!. No wonder he survived, the force is strong with him.
17 months and he's back to Afghanistan. That is f__king amazing 👏
Just heard an incredible interview on the radio this guy is a badass...AMERICAN
All I can say after listening to both episodes twice!!!! Is holy shit WOW!!!! WHAT A TRUE AMERICAN SOLDIER AND AMAZING HUMAN. Definitely going to find his book. I can definitely relate to living in a tent for a year and a half with my dad at the lakes in Colorado while he saved to build a a little 900sq ft home for us.
Ryans story is incredable. Got his book on audio and I listen to it everyday at work
Hoping for parts 3 and 4 could listen to this guest for hours
I've heard Ryan on other podcasts and love hearing his story everytime. Have a great Labor Day weekend all! ✌
I really enjoyed listening to Ryan’s story. What a genuine & humble guy. He is such an inspiration for anyone dealing with hard times in their life. Truly amazing! Great job!

I was choked up a little bit toward the end of listening this. So proud of Ryan and so proud of being an American!
Wow! What an American hero!!

Thank GOD for Dad’s wisdom. Mine gave me some once during a dark time
Awesome podcast guys! I remember our IED training being in an baseball field sweeping dirt at each other trying to put on a Tourniquet while getting yelled at. Thanks for the quality content fellas!
Godwinks for Ryan Hendrickson He was with you all the way, oh. Soo awesome!!
Really enjoyed hearing all the stuff Ryan went thru concerning his injury. Also, I listened to the part 1 video.
7 1/2 football fields of fireman's carries.😮 That is amazing 👏
49:56 - all of that was something no one had ever said before that relates to my situation. Amazing words and advice from a totally different path in life. Thank you for these interviews.
Awesome story. Thank you both for all you did and do
Great interview man I can’t wait until I can be comfortable telling my story so it can be used to help others
Hero bro!! Great attitude! Thank you
Extraordinary story. Great interview Ryan!
Love the podcasts! Watched nearly every one you have posted. They make me want to join the military and follow in their footsteps.
I truly enjoy your series. I am not a Veteran but was married to 2 Vietnam Combat vets. Prior to either marriage I was in college demonstrating against the war, 1968-69.

How on Earth did someone down-vote this?
Great stuff, as always, Ryan!

First 5 get the bird in the air...low flying pilots eat tacos
He looks like Eddie Penney's bruncle....
They woke me up every time they ripped the ventilator out of my throat too. Tore my throat up, split my lips wide open somehow. Not similar but yeah…
We left 1200 Americans behind in Afghanistan yesterday
1or 10000 is the same thing. And the Afghans that helped us are the same thing. unacceptable 🇺🇸
Who the fook disliked this video?
Right?!!
Bro PLEASE try to get CSM Eric L. Haney on here. Founding father of delta.
He doesn’t do interviews
Yep true Americans will never leave a man behind but the Biden administration will as been proven in recent days. I hope I'm wrong. Thank you for your service. You are a true hero.
