Great interview!
Thank you Marc for your service.
I always look forward to you interviews especially your integrity and objectivity with dignity and humility respect.
Thank you for writing your book too.
God bless you.
Not my intention to be a troll or talk trash. Just trying to spread some unfortunate truth. Marc was one of the CIA officials that signed off and lied to the American people about the existence of the hunter Biden laptop. This man's integrity is compromised. Please don't take my word for it, you can look it up yourself.
Thank you Jack Carr for an awesome interview and your service.
God bless you
Fantastic conversation. Nice to see the BRC mug in the foreground...
Great interview!
Waiting for the Terminal List premier on Amazon.
I'm counting the days myself! I hope it's better than 'Without Remorse' which underwhelmed my expectations beyond what I thought was capable.
The memory of Bagpipes in New York near Ground Zero still gives me hard fast allergies.
Great episode with Marc !!
I appreciate you plugging NFCU. I've been a member since the 90's. Great org. But I'm also a huge fan of SIG. Hope they are still sponsoring the show Jack.
Thank You !
Love Marc! Life saver

Yep, I visited Beirut and Iran in the late 1960’s. It was a very different world…Speaking of, have you interviewed Fred Burton? His book, “Beirut Rules” is a fantastic one!
Jack interviewed Fred Burton previously. Here on RUclips. ruclips.net/video/AWcvIfSoY_M/видео.html
@@pauljamesharper thank you! Not sure how I missed it.
Man it’s so hard to listen too in parts. To hear him say he himself failed up. I just don’t understand that. Some of us were posted making one small mistake had I joined the CIA I would have gotten a full 20+
His name makes me think of that Adam Sandler song "Steve Polycronopolous"
Oh Jack. You MUST read Caravans. In this slim book, James A. MICHENER teaches more about the nuances of Afghanistan than all the government literature available. You quickly will understand why all invaders have failed, and why chasing the dream of a central government is foolish.

Call Payback get some
“…undergraduate and master’s degree in Islamic movements in North Africa…”
You can do that? How?
I’ve got 2 GED’s in Texas. (Navy wouldn’t take the first one…then they lied to me in several different ways, which directly resulted in me getting discharged in bootcamp…)
I didn’t know that degrees in something that cool existed.
There are no lessons, in 10 years there are going to be new people making the same mistakes
How is he so ignorant about Ukraine!? This is terrifying
I know Ukraine is not part of NATO, but with a 30 trillion debt and military budget cuts should NATO nations being neighbors to Ukraine take this one?. Isn't it kinda detrimental being so close to the problem that they solve this? I can understand using intelligence, but not US military build up. I think we need to build up our military. I mean no disrespect , grateful for our military and their families. Just curious! Had to edit again, sorry. What worries me is the US spreading our military thin while China is building theirs up. After the failed pull out in Afghanistan, obviously Biden is using this as his distraction. 3,000 US soldiers sent to Ukraine is BS, we shouldn't be there. Biden left US citizens behind and flew in afgans, not vetted, here to the US. How can you justify that? The problem is at our border, known terrorists on the watchlist crossed into our country. I'm so infuriated over this, let US citizens die on our soil ? Which is and has happened and will continue to, but no Biden goes to Ukraine.....this is a freaking joke
Hey Jack get him back on to answer for his part in the Russian collusion hoax
