Jack- meeting you a few months back at Glover’s grand opening had a major impact on my son. He won your book as a prize - you spend 10 Min talking with him and I. Such a wonderful way to help guide the future leaders of our county. Thanks again. Thanks for your service. Justin.
I read both of his books when they first came out, and my biggest takeaway was how relatable he is. Seems like a real genuine and easy-going guy. An ordinary guy who did extraordinary things.
There are many of the Special Ops-SEALs who are not photographed, even today. Even retired. I have no doubt that there are certain Special Ops long retired, still keeping their anonymity today. Look how long we tracked Bin Laden. The same shoe fits on the enemy side.
His head changes every time I see it also his voice changes alot too I think he might be a terminator 😂 or possibly a transformer the U.S sure love modular equipment
From a combat veteran in Vietnam 1969 so sorry to hear you guys having to put up with the same crap we did with the higher up chain of command. Great series though. Can’t wait for parts 3 and 4! Thank you both for your service!
Part 2 was even better. Getting more mission insight is very cool. Listening to veterans provide AAR and drill deep into their "why" is helpful and relatable. Kudos to Jack and Mark for 2 amazing hours thus far!
Just want to say that I enjoyed the HELL outta this interview. I noticed just how careful this man doesn't name names and tempered his releasing information. We hear about the tools and BS that goes on with other guys in the teams. Other than writing the book, which I have questions about, dude was SUPER professional. I've only recently got into watching these and tired of the slinging going on in the military in general. Much respect to Matt and those men like him who carry themselves as true professionals.
After Part 1, someone complained that Jack was talking too much, not giving Mark a chance to tell his story. Much as I love Jack Carr, I really think he needs to back off the Black Rifle Coffee just a bit! LOL!
How does Jack only have just under 60k subs?!?! This shit is great. Can’t believe how slept on he is considering the book optioning and all the other solid stuff he has going.
It’s awesome to see, nowadays with the Net, how varied Tier 1/2 guys personalities are; about just as varied as how different each man’s YT channels are. Love the layout Jack; we needed a long form, open conversation layout. Cheers.
@David Brownwell the don’t do what Soviets did in AFG with big footprint in 2001 was clearly a mistake, they could’ve killed BinLaden decapitated AQ in 2001, but no, they didn’t.
It damn sure was. I get so angry when I see those scum bags with our weapons in their hands. Take it from me; we lost some great men, women, people who would have been leaders of this nation, and to watch it all be thrown away by a dementia ridden puppet. It makes my stomach turn quite literally.
@Michael Parks mistake was trying to keep a tiny footprint in AFG while backing corruption. That never works long term. 150k troops, plus an equal number of teachers and doctors, and a Congress that listened to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), But no we couldn’t have that. 2 Republican and 2 Democrat presidents were unwilling to make the hard decisions for a functioning Afghanistan. Now AFG is starving, children dying from malnutrition, and Taliban fighting other Afghans.
Afghanistan will always be a failure for any country at anytime in history. It’s Afghanistan! But us thinking just because we are America we will be able to do it in the place nobody had ever done it before was major part of our military failing.
So glad this was released the day after part one. Super interesting stuff and a great inside look. I really enjoyed the perspectives of them as young men full of drive and ideals chasing their dreams... mopping the floors and waxing torpedoes haha wax on wax off.
Carr’s podcast, his air waves, he gets to control the format. This is a friend for past 15 years.He interacts as he likes. They are exchanging ideas, memories, intelligence they both had, from viewpoints of the foot warriors and an officer who sent them out on assignments.
i am always fascinated watching films about navy seals, jags, swat, i believe i've watched them all..latest was 'the terminal list' , there were scenes that i do not even want to watch feeling i will get disappointed if jack reece gets killed or tortured..its awesome to watch real life navy seals
Very interesting. Same old stuff, the brass taking control to try to make themselves look good . More rank, more ribbons. Sometimes you have to be patient in your movements . This type of stuff is as old as war. Thanks guys. Jim Hunter -h co. 2nd batt 5th Marines Viet Nam 67-68
It’s great knowing there are people who will step up and serve like this,but hearing how horrible leadership is it makes me wonder if it’s even worth serving. I totally see the parallels to jacks career and his novels regarding upper command.
This is an absolutely phenomenal series of interviews. Very insightful and informative. Great job warriors. Coincidentally, I just read an article regarding the taliban stating our dogs were "unsanitary and dirty" while looking into the dog that was taken from a British SOF unit. I had no idea our leadership tried to take them from the battlefield all together, that is lunacy. Our government has to be the wokest.
I typically like Jaco, but Mark should of chose a venue like Shawn Ryan or Mike Ritland to get his story out. The interview was supposed to be about “him” and finally telling his story. Instead we got about 70/30 Jack’s life and story.. Mark had to fight for air time throughout this whole thing and Jack would keep over talking drowning him out. Still got some amazing stories but I would enjoy his story told uninterrupted with feedback in a tasteful manner. Just my opinion.
Hard to believe that the commanders wouldn’t let the soldiers use every type of weapon or tactic to kill the enemy. What was wrong with our leaders? Just ridiculous!!
I love matts books it chsnged mu life , i never quit!!! It made me such a better person and def bs what govt did to him, love the show seal team which is based on his life!! Biss your the best thank you!!!
Hearing about some of the leadership and politics is insane, I've heard about it before but these 2 brought up some of the worst examples I've heard so far and the fact that it even affects the highest levels of special operations is ridiculous. Great series so far though! Digging it.
I had a lot of these missions happening in my AOR in Nangarhar Province, and we had to embed one of our CPTs to each mission as battle space owners. A lot of this sounds familiar.
Nothing can screw up a good operation like a Senior Level Leader........And the current clown troop we have in charge is the last thing we need if this Ukraine thing pops off!!! Love the interviews Jack, don't stop anytime soon. Much respect from this Marine to both of you.
Mark has confirmed the story, on here and in his 2012 book. The point man (who had already killed bin laden’s son…khaled) fired two shots at laden as his head appeared in a doorway. The point man then tackled two women who were in the same room. According to Mark, laden was still breathing so he shot him twice more. And Rib’s story also confirms the point man fired the first two shots that dropped bin laden, but instead he fired the shots to finish him off.
@@its_rick_james_bich2575 thank u I heard mark tell his part, never heard him explain what he and rob did and never heard rob talk bout mark. Ur message helpd
Anyone at team 2, did any of you ever train at Virginia International Raceway in Alton,VA recently or in the last 10-15? I did an internship there with Team 2 in college.
So who actually shot UBL? Mark or Rob? Or some unknown operator? I’ve watched a lot of these SOF podcasts and don’t remember anyone confirming one or the other.
@@sauljahboi5965 Technically not true. Owen said Red took the first shots and when he got in the room, Ubl was still twitching on the ground and they all took shots at him. But im guessing what Admiral mcraven and Oneill mean is that Oneills bullets are what finished him off? Idk. Oneills story is different from Owens in general. But I saw apparently a couple of team guys were confused because Owen was like the 8th guy in UBLs room
Watching this simply reinforces the depressive uselessness of knowing and recognising what is morally right and what ugliness is required to be done in order to succeed in the mission and in face of professional pen pushes, activists and radicals in government who refuse to grasp the reality of the soldier’s experience. I can see why Jack Carr wrote the James Reece books in order to express the futility of responding to operational frustration, which politicians refuse to understand and consider. One gets the feeling that the decision makers in Washington are utterly blindly amoral. The lack value, moral fortitude and who fail to appreciate the American Democratic experience. In my case as an Australian soldier medic in Iraq 1991 our government was in a chaos of indecision . Their inability to lead with confidence was felt by me, a lowly private wanting very much to successfully perform the job I had freely signed up for. The ROE’s changed every single day. In response to leadership failure we as a section on the ground got together and made a commitment to ignore the ROE’s. Our role at the coalface of patrolling the Iraqi space without intelligence demanded a precise awareness. We collectively refused the bullshit and allow ourselves to be killed or maimed by the decisions of politicians and the political activists at home. Every single day our ‘O’ groups basically informed us that we would have to take a KIA or a WIA before we could consider the option to return fire. Total bullshit. Like I said we discussed amongst ourselves and this included our junior NCO’s, who patrolled with us and shared the risks. Every single Army officer happily bent over to have their anus’ rammed and pounded by senior military and the political activists at home who felt that our lives were expendable in the spirit of a useless and piss-weak platonic feel good latte philosophical ideology. Basically bullshit. Nothing changes. It’s about power and as a soldier, as a man I was young dumb and full of cum.
What's the point of covering his face and calling him Mark? He was doing interviews back in 2012 showing his face and everyone knew his real name is Matt Bissonnette back then
All of them. Dick started the tradition and then he got caught selling hand grenades, or maybe it was the other way around. Just to be clear "all of them" is a joke, im being hyperbolic to make a point.
Read in one of military mags(2021) that there are around 2200-2300 SEALs. Jack Carr is the best poster boy for the Special Ops, especially the SEALs, the Navy has ever had. He said way back towards the beginning that he wanted to interact with guest speakers like it was sitting down with the guys at the local watering hole and exchanging stories. That is exactly the feel of Carr’s podcast interviews. Carr served at all levels in the SEALs. Everything that has come up in the past 15 years, he knows of the background, of the Ops and the operators. He also knows what can be mentioned and what is a no-no. You learn additional, personal info, how different the Ops were, the differing experiences had. Jack pulls that out of those he has interviewed through his interaction with them, applying his knowledge too. I like how he channels the direction of the conversation. You learn details of how these men executed their jobs. As to thinking just SEALs are writing books, many are the ones that include the realistic details in thriller novels, the ones most popular. They aren’t like the ones written 20-30 years ago. Thriller novels have evolved to reality.These are produced from the memories these operators had of the actual operations and knowledge of intelligence. I would rather read reality from those who actually experienced it in the field. Many non-military cannot capture the actual reality of the battlefield. I for one welcome these newbies and the reality tale they relate.
Is this not Robert O'Neil? Sounds like him and all the stories he's telling are the ones Robert tells in his bio. (which he reads himself in the audio version)
this is ridiculous, worrying about offending people we r at war with . Dogs mean more to me than my enemies ever will. That piss me off hearing that the higher ups let the enemy manipulate them into changing the rules. What really pisses me off even more is that our biggest enemy is our own president
Jack- meeting you a few months back at Glover’s grand opening had a major impact on my son. He won your book as a prize - you spend 10
Min talking with him and I. Such a wonderful way to help guide the future leaders of our county.
Thanks again. Thanks for your service. Justin.
That's awesome good on you for introducing your boy into patriots .
I read both of his books when they first came out, and my biggest takeaway was how relatable he is. Seems like a real genuine and easy-going guy. An ordinary guy who did extraordinary things.
How tf was this guy able to fit in military humvee with a giant black rectangular block on his head
@Thor’sNightmare well he has to go in sideways and then stick that black box put the window 😁😁
There are many of the Special Ops-SEALs who are not photographed, even today. Even retired. I have no doubt that there are certain Special Ops long retired, still keeping their anonymity today. Look how long we tracked Bin Laden. The same shoe fits on the enemy side.
@@juliewatson2281 well said. God bless them

His head changes every time I see it also his voice changes alot too I think he might be a terminator 😂 or possibly a transformer the U.S sure love modular equipment
From a combat veteran in Vietnam 1969 so sorry to hear you guys having to put up with the same crap we did with the higher up chain of command. Great series though. Can’t wait for parts 3 and 4! Thank you both for your service!
Thank you for your service sir.
Jack carr’s favourite guest would be a mirror. Dude doesn’t shut up
Part 2 was even better. Getting more mission insight is very cool. Listening to veterans provide AAR and drill deep into their "why" is helpful and relatable. Kudos to Jack and Mark for 2 amazing hours thus far!
Just want to say that I enjoyed the HELL outta this interview. I noticed just how careful this man doesn't name names and tempered his releasing information. We hear about the tools and BS that goes on with other guys in the teams. Other than writing the book, which I have questions about, dude was SUPER professional. I've only recently got into watching these and tired of the slinging going on in the military in general. Much respect to Matt and those men like him who carry themselves as true professionals.
No easy day novel is a great work of art read. Part 2 of a 4 part series is getting better so far
Matt's books have been an inspiration.
Fantastic video 😎 God bless 🙏
After Part 1, someone complained that Jack was talking too much, not giving Mark a chance to tell his story. Much as I love Jack Carr, I really think he needs to back off the Black Rifle Coffee just a bit! LOL!
Which is probably why this will take 4 episodes. One shouldn’t try to be interview(er) & interview(ee). Great content from Owen, though.
Glad I wasn't the only one with this opinion, bet the mix is 70/30 Jack/Owen
So frustrating that Jack talks when Mark is telling his story
How does Jack only have just under 60k subs?!?! This shit is great. Can’t believe how slept on he is considering the book optioning and all the other solid stuff he has going.
support and share...
Yeah I agree I love the work jack's put into the production keep up the good work guy's much love and respect from an ex assault engineer
Maybe because certain delta guys labeled him as a pedo.
Thank you for helping him share his truth!
Thank you! I did not expect this to be released so soon. This is great!
Jack, Thanks for your service, the books, and Podcasts. Love the conversation from those who lived on the front lines.
Literally just finished part 1. Great timing.
Same here 🙋🏻♂️😄
It’s awesome to see, nowadays with the Net, how varied Tier 1/2 guys personalities are; about just as varied as how different each man’s YT channels are. Love the layout Jack; we needed a long form, open conversation layout. Cheers.
It's group dynamics any high output group of men usually is pretty varied
Thank you,Mark and Jack!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience gentlemen. Huge respect!
would give anything to just sit and talk with these guys and here war stories and say thank you 100 times
