One thing to note, of everything he has accomplished and done in his life, it’s safe to assume he has a strong woman in his life supporting him all along the way.

    I was fortunate to get to meet and learn from Kyle at a Live Fire Shoot House Instructor class he had when he first started Viking Tactics. He and his co-instructor “Elvis” were great guys. Very demanding (people were dropped from the class throughout the week for not meeting critical shooting skills requirements), but just a week with them took our skills to the next level. He is as humble as he is skilled.

And because he was away every six months. My family got a divorce. After desert storm ended up taking his own life because of all the stress. These are all real topics. These are all real life situations. I tried to follow in his footsteps but I became a marine. Now that i'm out I tried to describe and teach my son I find shooting as very therapeutic. Because of my old job I love distance. You have to think a little bit more. You have to be a little bit more calm exhale and squeeze. This is going to be a doozy episode. It has touched to me .

      His discussion about Indian mounds at 1:45:30 forward references the old Hopewell native civilization. They built protective mound barriers around their cities and villages, with pits in front of the mounds, with timberworks built on top of the mounds including spaced watchtowers.
      They had maze-like entrances with guards, so it was extremely difficult to penetrate them.
      There was continuous warfare between the civilized mound-building tribes and nomadic savage tribes who attacked them regularly.

    Met this man many yrs back at shooting competition. Took to Kyle right away & not for his skills on the range. After several years friends & i took class while he was still Army. Funny in a way...another buddy & i screwed up & Kyle corrected us then said "give me ten". Not as punishment but emphasis. Heard bout Mogadishu sittin' on truck tailgate before movie thought of. Shot all his matches last one 2007 i think. Been with him at SHOT, Men's Impact weekend Liberty University & more. Fortunate to be present for his retirement behind the wire. This as way to say admire this man for his down to earth attitude, skill set & belief in our Lord & Savior.

    They're not Wranglers; they're Wronglers. BTW, I met Kyle Lamb twice: once when I worked at Franklin Gun Shop and again at Treadproof.

I am not star-struck when I meet "celebrities", but Kyle is on my shortlist of heroes whom I'm honored to share a room with when the stars align. Godly men need to be capable and willing to do great violence with zero shame. Kyle is helping recodify the "Masculine Christian" concept. We are supremely grateful for his presence. Great interview.

Jesus was not just a peace and love hippie like they try to say and the Old Testament aka the law is oof, there’s some hardcore stuff in those books

His standards are high and he expects you to do well, but he really cares that his students comprehend and preform.. I improved a lot with my shooting and tactics, but I also learned a lot about teaching. He has a great personality and treats people well.

    Crazy thing about these videos is that no one ever mentions that Mohammad Aidad’s son served in the US Marines during all of this. He was an interpreter and the only soldier in the Marines who knew how to speak Somali.

      It’s because 1 of 2 things either he wasn’t an important player in the region regardless of who his father is. There’s a lot of big players in the arena that there kids are kept away from the family business. Just like any other child on earth who doesn’t anything to do with what their parents are doing. They can just as easily be embarrassed about who their parents are and what they do. I know some that have made it their life mission to destroy what their parents built. The ones who follow in those footprints aren’t worth much until after their parents pass away. The ones who end up being trained by us don’t have access to any of our information that’s not already public knowledge. Those people who have a interesting past can’t pass for a clearance and we tend to keep an eye on them. But it was way harder for people to find and release anything since cellphones were a big thing yet. But look at all the war lords, drug lords, arms dealers and straight criminals that were trained by us, supplied and funded them. Then we do what we always do and disappear in the middle of the night and leave them to pick up the pieces. We trained bin Laden and setup him to fight the Russians and every war lord in Afghanistan. We did the same thing as the first time and slipped away in the dead of night leaving them to clean the mess up. The difference this time was we went and kicked all the hornets nests and stepped on all the ant hills on the way out. At least we gave them a fully functional and very capable military before we said fuck you guys I’m going home.

      Marines aren’t Soldiers and Hussein Farrah Aidid isn’t the only Marine that spoke Somali. Also most Somalis also speak Arabic and it is one of the national languages spoken in Somalia

      Oh we in the Marines were very aware of the guy once we learned his lineage. Guy always had another Marine by his side. Just in case. Its weird though, guy went kim jong un. Nobody knew who they were and they spent most of their education in the west. But got back to home countries and did a 180

    Man, this is wild. I'm just old enough to remember seeing Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Somalia stuff on TV back in the 90's.

    Talking about teachers! My Government teacher in high school was Rosie Nolan ( & Oklahoma rancher) who fought in WWII in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a major influencer in me joining the Army. He also was the first person I heard the phrase, "Lead, Follow, or get the Hell Out of the Way". I heard that phrase also from some very savvy Ranger Sergeants in 1st Batt.
