It takes a certain level of mental strength to do, see, hear, smell, and feel the things these men do and come out of it with the ability to be gentle-spoken and kind. Thank you, Ryan, for sharing and showing us what that looks like. Thank you, Mike for having him on. 💪
That whole segment about the Marine nearly drowning during the river crossing... So typical of the Marines, man. "We built you tough so you're just going to have to tough your way through stuff we didn't teach you." Chalk it up as a temporary/unforeseen contingency that we ooh-rah'd our way through and won't apply toward training during workups next time around. As an FMF Corpsman I was consistently motivated by the sheer will of my Marines, God Bless the Devil Dogs.
We just said goodbye to my uncle my mother's brother and he served in the military Fresh out high-school he was stationed in Germany. Now he can rest with his brothers in arms.
My brother took the alternative route about 6 months ago. Everything has been so hard since i got that call. He went to afghanistan during the pull out. He told me so many horrible stories. I wont go into that in a RUclips comment section. I miss him every day. I don’t care if this comment changes even one person’s mind. Please don’t do it. We all loved him so goddamn much. Semper fidelis. Kfg.
I’m sorry. I was there, continue to have my moments. It’s because of the people around me that I am able to put another foot forward. Don’t stop spreading your brother’s story.
I’d didn’t serve and it was and is one of the biggest regrets in my life but we need our vets now more than ever. My generation was the backbone of those wars and the younger generations are not the same caliber of human. Bad times are coming and the older generations are going to have to step up when the chaos begins. Myself included. I hope that the veterans know their country will need them more than ever even if our government doesn’t treat them as such.
Absolutely love listening to you two and when you add Clint to the mix, I can't stop laughing at yalls banter. Rewatching this one for who knows how many times!!
Great to hearbfrom a grunt. The GWOT has been so SOF centric when it comes to outlets like this that i think the average person doesnt realize the level of fighting the some of our Marines and soldiers got up to.
@@Robert-ky4vx I was in and out before GWOT but I was always enamored with all the grunt work and field training. It's weird to me that people now perceive war as fighting an insurgency, landing on the X, and kicking in the doors of cavemen
@@MrCashewkitty it's what the podcasters are inviting on their shows because its what the people want. Apparently being "Conventional forces" means you were nothing but fodder to civilians, but at the same time SOF are badass dudes and do have that mystique about them. Talking about fast insertion raids sounds way cooler than talking about that patrol you went on and nothing happened for the first 4 hours , it is also imperative that the average Joe doesn't get washed to the history books as a less capable warrior.
The donkey story was absolutely as profound as you made it out to be. I felt the same way, it just adds another layer of sadness to the destruction caused by war. Literally no form of life is safe from the consequences. Thank you so much for sharing your story and thank you for your service
Mike, noticed a billboard on a cab in Vegas, awesome marketing. Wishing you the best in 24’. Thanks for sharing Ryan. I’ll be finding you book soon. Ty both for your service to our great nation
This show is so underrated, ive been saying it since the beginning ..maybe cuz mike isnt a puppet for the establishment and his views are those of real a American/patriot
Great point on Sherman Tecumseh method of totally depraved war. In war, rules are only for the naive. Recently, the bombs dropped on Japan have been a point of controversy. I understand both sides. I think we need to carry a big stick and speak softly. When to keep the sword in its sheath, and when to show restraint.
Being a seal, SF, tier 1 unit guy is "cool guy points" but wait until these infantry podcasts start rolling out more... whyistheskyblue? #whyisthegrassgreen
I don't feel so alone now with the whole sleep seizure thing. I brought it up to the VA but I feel like they don't take me seriously and tried blaming it on sleep apnea. I don't really have sleep apnea unless I get really stressed out or when my anxiety is at an all time high and thats usually when I get the sleep seizures. And it's not even really obstructive sleep apnea, I get central sleep apnea where my brain isnt sending signals to my lungs to breath. But when i'm feeling fine I don't get any sleep apnea at all.
I’m not military but man I couldn’t be more proud to be an American and our warfighters make us proud. These guys go to foreign lands and fight as well as anyone.
Keep up the good work Mike, great interviews. One question for you. Would you ever think of getting into politics? We need good people like you to help clean this country up! Thanks to all who served our country.
Get a seizure dog that sleeps with you and start some CBD treatments. I am not a doctor but I have seen them save lives personally. Hope you get whatever treatment you need bro!

I never hear anyone talk about rock and roll bands or musicians going overseas to the troops. Yeah, I see a million videos of what looks like abandoned at a fob or some other place with a lot of military people. And it's overseas so I don't get it. Could somebody talk about that the rock concerts? Is five finger death punch et cetera
I’m sorry for your brother,you made a mistake but you learned from it and that man died a warrior right where he wanted to be.Let the guilt go because the lord said it was his time not them and not because of you.
I have seizures they started when I was 16 wanted to join the corp since 6 not epilepsy something with my brain my neurologist said they should go away I'm 22 23 in May still have them if I don't take meds I've probably had around 30 or 40 I've woken up thrown up all over myself then gone right back out I've woken in ambulances all of it the depression is what sucks because I feel like I can't do anything but I know I can it's weird hearing war stories and such just helps me thank you guys

There's regular grunts with way more combat time than some "operator"
