This man breathed the same air as Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon. That alone qualifies him as an absolute legend.
damn, I never knew their actual names, thanks for sharing, looked em up
Lmaoo what
Who cares nerd
@@S.T.A.550 look those 2 men up and you’ll see what I mean.
Never knew they made out.
Kyle has the ability to say more with fewer words and yet still impart so much with every sentence. His ability to distill down a topic to it's essential core is amazing.
I have never heard anyone describe Kyle as using "few words" 😂...his rambling, nonsensical stories are part of his charm.
@@DWBCustomAmmo the stories always take a turn and that makes them great, but when he answers a question directly he sums up a large concept so precisely and in a way even I can understand, though to be fair, I'm ex-military too.
@@goatman3828 I'm just a guy who's interested in being prepared for the world we face, and found myself agreeing to this, hell i'm just turning 20 and have a horrible habit of overexplaining and overcomplicating things myself.

Kyle Lamb is an outstanding person and American! Thanks for the podcast.
Solzhenitsyn talk at Harvard was great too, from Stand Up and Lead ruclips.net/video/hS98JFftbGc/видео.html
He seems like a cool dude 🤷🏽♂️
My first experience with meeting Kyle, he was squaded with me to shoot a PRS match. He is genuine as he appears online. Great American. 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.
Great episode
Behind every strong man you will notice a stronger woman.
I shot competitions with Kyle fairly regularly in the mid 90's. Always liked him. Most of the military guys didn't really associate much with us non-military, but Kyle was always really positive and friendly and did a lot of work organising shoots.
You must be his wife
My dad (retired special forces) was there in Mogadishu with his unit (5th Special Forces) when i was just 3 months old and fought alongside Kyle. I didn't know that at first till my dad showed me a picture of him and Kyle in front of a little bird, I was 14 at that time and it was the only time my dad ever talked about what happened in Mogadishu.
Best NCO I ever had was a SFC, Platoon Sergeant who spent most of his time with the 82nd. Really solid guy, took care of his soldiers but knew how to get down to business when somebody was being stupid.
THANK YOU BROTHER
God bless you warriors 💪🫡
AATW!
17 Years into my career in SOF I punched out to save my marriage. Best decision I ever made. 38 Years lady and we are stronger then ever.... He is on point. I think the divorce rate in our unit was about 75%!
Well the Algorithm did me right. First time listening to list podcast. I'm always in search for good conversations. I'm only 45mins in but I'm taking a second to say I'll be combing over the content. Sidenote as a veteran (11B) it's cool to hear I'm not the only one that has trouble with patience and compassion with my family sometimes I will be using that phrase.
that is part of our training to be able to kill
Patience and compassion.
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.
Kyle's the man. Went to his Singleton CQB course at the Sig Academy two weeks ago. Awesome instructor and just a humble guy. Grabbed dinner with him and a few other guys during the 2 day course. He's super funny too. Went to his Leadership in the Shadows seminar. Absolutely worth it.
One of my favorite podcasts of all time. What a legend and so much more. All that wisdom and experience in such a humble man. An inspiration to all young men and boys. We need more Kyles in the world.
Kyle Lamb is an inspiration to become a better human being. Super podcast.
I am absolutely loving the beginning of this episode. My father was Is a navy Seal stationed at Brunswick Maine as a seer officer. He was in panama he was in desert storm. desert shield . 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 . Thank you gentlemen for this one keep up the good work. Sincerely Baker family in maine.
So sorry for the loss of your father.
SERE*
Lots of gold in this interview: patience and compassion, lessons learned from Battle of Mogadishu influencing kit and weapons configuration, and always seeking self-improvement through being a student. Hreat history lesson on Shiloh too. Thanks for doing this interview with SGM (ret.) Lamb.
Kyle is an awesome and fascinating guy. I could listen to him for hours. I loved the Civil War history lesson. Awesome stuff!
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.
It was the last 7-8 minutes that tied together this enlightening, rewarding & gracious interview. My apologies for one thing; I was not able to watch the complete interview in one sitting, I think it was 3 or 4 separate sittings to reach the end. We are all Brothers around the world, hopefully some day we will all realize this, so from 7,000 miles away I say thank you so much for your persistence in the pursuit of these lofty, honorable goals.
This video should have at 1 million likes and you guys should have at least 1 million subscribers. The fact that I sat here and listened while doing an assignment for SDI and still was able to keep focused with this ADHD is a miracle. Thanks guys.
Great interview Kyle Lamb is such a legend and one of my bucket list to train with.
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. He is kind of like if James Hetfield ate a Polar Bear, and therefore he is awesome. 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.
Exactly I see so often Christianity has been neutered and feminized. Like guys actually read your Bible, it’s not just about peace and love and acceptance as people who have never read the Bible always try to say and argue. 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
Interesting description.
I met Kyle Lamb and he is such a great figure in the gun community, such a great guy and inspiration
16:23 the way you guys helped your great guest get back to his point was that of being great hosts, true listeners. Very respectful
This is one of the best podcasts ive ever listend to, keep going dirty civilian, you are going to make it. I am impressed.
Phenomenal guest. Great show, dudes.
didn't expect to see you here.
Dirty Civilian has become my favorite channel on YT. And they're hosting guys like Kyle Lamb now. Absolutely amazing.
Great podcast. I love hearing Kyle talk about the 82nd and Fort Bragg. I was a Black Hawk Crewchief for the first generation Hawks to go into regular service. 82nd, 1/17Abn, Air Cav, Lift Plt. Just listening to Kyle talking about these places brings back so many memories. I still live in Fayetteville. Most active duty, retired and prior service are Airborne. I have a buddy from 10th Mountain that was there during the BHD incident and his memories jive with Kyle's.
I was fortunate to receive a lot of training from Kyle many years ago for my job. When he talks about being a good teacher, he is and he takes teaching seriously. 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.
After watching this I feel like I could sit down with him and just have a conversation about life without talking about his past. Seems like a great dude to be around. Would really like to go to a class with him and learn. I loved his statement about the meek and the ability to use the sword without actually using it.
It blows my mind the humility in ALL the Delta Operators I have rigorously researched and read up on as much as I can.. they will always be my greatest heroes
Ty for having Kyle Lamb on to speak with you. God bless.
I’m really surprised I’m seeing Kyle Lamb on this channel. Super cool.
This interview was awesome. Definitely going to look for more from Kyle Lamb. Also gulag archipelago is incredible. I'd also like to recommend 200 years together.
Good work on this interview guys! Thanks again.
I usually pick and choose what I want to listen to on, if it coincides with my past or other. But Kyle caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interests throughout. Those podcasts are very few and far between. And I thank you and him for that. And Many Thank You's for His Service. GODBLESS
Excellent interview and video. I got a lot of value form this episode. Keep up the great work gentlemen. God bless!! 🙏🏽🇺🇸
My father-in-law was a crew chief on the CSAR (Super 68) bird that picked up the delta guy that got his leg blow off from the RPG and flew him out. He's got some crazy stories and it's a very interesting battle to learn about. Great video and I could listen to Kyle all day.
Lots of awesome content on here from some good folks in and around my hometown and also my last duty station that I was released from service after being wounded in combat. By far, my favorite part was the deadgum joke at the very end of this. Y’all keep it up, heading over now to look over Viking Tactics website and storefront, absolutely love the patriot sheepsfoot blade that was shown in the video. Again, some great content in this video!
One of the best interviews I've seen so far. Keep up the great work!
Well done for getting Mr Kyle Lamb on your show ! He may hate me for saying this, but he is a Legend !!
Awesome job! He never fails to deliver a great interview.
I watch,read anything with Kyle Lamb. He is a great person period. Just wanted to thank you for putting this together. 👍
There is no such think as an interview that is too long with Kyle Lamb. Good stuff!
Love this, I'm military kid, my Dad ww2, Korean War and veitnam vet, died at 92 yrs of age. Ranger, 82nd airborne, my hero! We sacrificed at home, as well. Thank you for your service! God Bless you! 🇺🇸
The part about being a good teacher is sooo true!
This was awesome!! God bless ya & your goals for the channel. Dont stop showing your true faith. 🙏🏼
I’m listening to this podcast at work in Corinth, MS. Very cool to hear him reference us lol
Didn’t intend to watch this and have never seen this podcast before, but it came on while I was fixing dinner and I ended up watching the whole three hours. Kyle is captivating and it sounds like his wife is a wise woman too. Loved this.
Truly an *EXCELLENT* interview!
Mr. Lamb is definitely a great person and American. Someone on here said they could listen to him for hours, I feel the same. He is a warrior that’s done a lot and is still humble and down to earth.
No matter what happened at the command level, this is one of the most inspiring stories of men in battle I have ever come across. What a mess that was and yet there are so many guys fighting and doing their job to the best of their ability in absolutely crazy circumstances that just wasn' suited to what they do.
Wat an absolute legend of a man huge respect for this warrior wat a life he has lived great interview guys much love from Australia 🤘🤘
Great to see Kyle again, he continues to amaze me with his knowledge and wit.
Left gunner Super 61
Thanks for sharing Kyle’s knowledge and experience
Thank you gentlemen for this interview.
Love the openness about your guys faith. Keep up the good work gentlemen! Kyle, you are an inspiration!
I agree. You couldn't say it better as I spent a year in Malaysia working for the University there and it changed my life.
Awesome discussion and inspirational, definitely should continue to follow your course.
Well spoken, one of the best interviews I’ve heard.
This was a long one guys. I had to watch it in two sittings, but thank you it was a great podcast.
One of the best videos I have watched in years! Thanks guys.
This is an incredible conversation. I really enjoy your content, signed a fellow dirty civilian.
Thank you, this was an amazing video. Thank you for your service.
I always thought it was wild how long it took for tourniquets to be a regular thing. Even when it was used back in roman times.
It was totally stupid and unlogical.
Even for those who EDC- you should have a tourniquet in your vehicle- "Truck EDC", if you will.
People seem to get too smart for their own good. Then at some point they realize that there's a reason why people did things for thousands of years.
@@ArmyVet1776 Carry one in my backpack and one my car at all times.
Such a good conversation.
As an ex-american soldier, a registered nurse, a musician, and a believer... You guys are awesome... You have my respect and my salute. Be encouraged.. Keep sharing your heart...!!! Great interview !!!
Great conversation with a great person. Still patiently waiting for a sequel to Leadership in the Shadows.
I’ve taken courses with Mr.Lamb he’s a great instructor as his a person. Humble as they get. He’s presenting Delta as it is top Tier 1 unit in the world. Great interview gentleman
I am so in love with your content and the production you guys are putting out, I'm so glad to be a dirty civilian ❤❤
Best advice out of this also being post Military and retired. Patience and compassion. Needed to hear that.
Great interview guys!! Awesome all 3 of you, down to earth and right on POINT!! If I can ever get down to South Dakota would love to say hello to Kyle, Drew and Josh!! Hello from Red Deer, Alberta
I’m a huge fan of Kyle Lamb and have so much respect for him. Anyway great show first time I’ve seen your Vlog and came because of him but I’ll definitely be back!
I am excited to see ware u guys go cause I am a car guy ,bike guy ,gun guy , a man of faith who likes to explore all faiths to understand people better and a father and mechanic and fabricator so I would love to see a channel that combines all
Fantastic session/interview…thx!!!
Dude...getting Kyle Lamb. Good freaking get!
Mr. Lambs kit is top notch as well I run his street fighter sling and gave my girl friend one as a Bday gift this morning!!!
This one was awesome! Love it guys! +10 on the poem at the end.
Really nice interview. Thanks a lot for that !
Great content always love to hear Kyle Lamb speak.
I met him while hunting in Alaska and we found out we served in same brigade before he went SF. Kyle sent me a signed book months later and didn’t forget our meeting. Class act. We were in same brigade in 82nd but years apart and I was not in signals but a 19D.
I love the life talk in general vs. the typical tactical space interview
Great cast today guys!
Love you all..
From Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
Loved this episode!
I love that Bowie knife that Kyle Lamb made. You guys just earned a follower. I didn't get to serve even though I volunteered for service. People who serve or have served have my admiration.
Amen, CSM Lamb everyone needs to stand up and stop hiding behind social media!!!
Awesome interview. Kyle is a good soul. God bless 🙏
The glow of this channel intensifies daily.
Awesome, thank you!! God Bless, Awesome brother. Semper Fi Thank you for your service
What a great interview!! y’all are gonna go far
My grand father was a ranger in this conflict but his life took a huge down turn so I like seeing him looking like he’s well
Kyle Lamb is an outstanding person and American! Thanks for the podcast.. Kyle Lamb is an outstanding person and American! Thanks for the podcast..
I think God that Kyle is still around to mentor others it means there's still hope for us.
excellent interview! love the little detail about the battle of shalo and the little history.
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
He does mention it, though.
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
Tom Satterly on Shawn Ryan goes into it
My upmost respect to Kyle and then some. May God bless you ALL ALWAYS and ALL of your loved ones. CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH. HEY "NEVER FORGET".
what an amazing podcast !
Kyle Lamb is amazing & you guys did a great job not pissing this legend off 😂
I love hearing Mr. Kyle talk about history, I also love his Padded Slings 😁
This has been my favorite one by far
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.
Good stuff I loved every minute of it. The end was classic. GOD bless
That 6’ Coast Guard joke! My dad was Coast Guard 1983-92 and that was his favorite Coastie joke.
