Hey Shawn , I am no military affiliated in any way but I love my country and envy the fact that you get to meet some of these people , it’s amazing how these individuals don’t realize how much they have done for the lives of every person that has heard of what they have done or had to be saved by them . This is what AMERICAN looks like , this is the unshakeable protector mentality that one could only hope to come close to .

I know guys like Kyle are mythic heroes. But he hardly mentions the 2 DSS Special Agents that were in the stack with him and helped coordinate the op. He only mentioned them at the 12:20 mark (“RSO”) but only as if all they did was coordinate shuttle rides. Was that intentional to respect the anonymity of DSS?

And remember guys - regular pencil, not ink or ballpoint. If it rains, those will run. Jokes aside, this is a really fascinating clip. You can really see it in his entire body when he explains the heavier stuff... he's back there in the moment. He's clearly still processing a lot of that stuff, but it's absolutely terrific that he's sharing and getting it out there.

Shawn, the greatest feature of men like you and in this case particularly your guest Kyle is that you don't NEED to tell your stories except to one another.

Please, at all cost, keep these dialogues going - it is one of the only places that people like my son can see what it means to serve a greater purpose and learn to understand that there is a cost VERY worth paying for the protection of our way of life.

Been watching the show for a few weeks on here and Apple podcast. This one really effected me, these guys from delta and devgru and other SF teams have taken lifetimes of physically and mental trauma and ask for nothing in return for the selflessness and sacrifice. Having blood on their hands to keep us and other safe has to be an incredible burden to bear. They deserve more from us and our country and communities. We should all hang our heads for the violations against our beloved constitution we have allowed our government to perpetuate as we have stood by complicit and without courage to act on our own soil, while these warriors have gave everything they have in defense of our republic and our way of life. It’s time we all take a cue and grow a spine. Their efforts should never go in vain or be forgotten. Shawn, your show is excellent and your doing important work. I hope you get as much support as possible to share these stories and remind us all what you and others have done in the name of freedom and the defense of America and he alliances. God bless all of you

Thank you for sharing this story Kyle. Your actions were truly heroic. Also, a sincere thank you to Shawn for making it so easy for me to hear about it.

Nothing but respect to this guy. Not alot of guys can't make the decision he made to go alone into a 80-20 situation that he might die, and he put that aside and marched foward. I was never in too many gun fights. But I know what it feels like to have look deep within yourself to find that person not everyone has in them. And that feeling of being switched on is something you cant really put in words or understand unless youve been there.

Operator #965 since 1978… THAT shows you just how exclusive the Delta community truly is! This man is an American Hero to be sure. As someone else said, it is disgusting the level of adulation and fake and fortune we heap onto useless ‘entertainers’ and ‘sports figures’. These are the folks that should be lauded without end!!!

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I really don't watch sports anymore I'd rather watch these true heros stories what a good solid dude

[@brandonlee9453]

Great advice. As a veteran it's good to take advice. I used to think to I could do things all on my own but I realized actually taking time to listen helps so much. I love learning and gaining knowledge. I'm so glad for the pain because if I didn't go through the things I did I wouldn't have learned. I'm so glad I got help after I got out the military cause all the stress I went through as a child made me always on edge and I worried about what people thought of me but after getting help and being around other vets have helped me so much and I realize how important it is to not to isolate myself during all of my free time but take time even if it's one day out the week just taking time to be around vets and listen to others knowledge.

Shawn.. that thing you're doing its solid GOLD.. Bro! God bless you for that. You are allowing all these warriors to heal from within. How Kyle said it, showing that it's ok not to be ok, but most importantly, that once again, you can emerge victorious from that. The end of the interview is epic brother. I think you have no idea how powerful that good gesture is for an entire family. That simple gesture raises a beautiful family

[@denigong9708]

Just want to give thanks to that 20 year okd french shield guy. Its alright to cry after something like that. Great job buddy

“The gunman saw my Big American flag, panos on my head…his demeanour changed” Outstanding 🇺🇸

[@vetomills4213]

Got me when he said, I died in that hallway. I could feel the emotion coming off him.

[@shanedavis8203]

The amount of respect I have for these men. Meeting these operators in OEF11 was like meeting a superstar.

[@lona0540]

Kyle, from an older Vet & the community’s we live in, Thank You, Bravo Zulu. From this point forward TAKE CARE OF YOU. Talk to your Brothers, Sisters & medical professionals as often as you need to. There’s a lot of GOOD LIFE ahead of you. Relearn how to enjoy the life you have earned. You are among the best of the best. Welcome home.

[@erikturner5073]

I didn't know that Delta is as small as it is! Just over 900 operators ever from its beginning (mid 1970's) to now. That blew me away!!!!! Also add their insanely difficult selection and you have a group of operators second to none. Remind me of an interview I saw years ago on ex Delta operator Kyle Lamb. If I remember correctly, he touched on Delta having a small more elite group with Delta. He didn't go into detail, only mentioned its existence. You got to figure that Delta is probably a small community with a tight brotherhood.

[@Phildo8]

This interview was amazing as a full episode but this part was my favorite of the show! “Just got my basic go to war gear” just what I imagined a CAG member would have! “What’s in the bag sir?” “Oh you know my basic go to war gear”

[@TeamMemberNumberEight]

“That’s my overnight bag. This is my war bag”

[@kendelvalle8299]

Great interview. Lessons learned. Collective wisdom improved. The great thing about these type of interviews is that they are recorded and young operators will be able to see them when the current crop is gone thirty years from now.

This man may not feel like he's superman or Superman like ... But he is. For many people that day he was the one who allowed them to continue to live their life. For some... Unfortunately they lost their life that day however it could have been much much worse for so many more. These people are the great ones... The one's that don't hesitate when told people's life's are on the line... To go in alone and knowing that he's alone takes a special kind of person. Thank God we have a few handfuls of those kind of people. And we need them. We have many people(all of the military) who are brave and willing to fight and die for our countries people and others... And they should not be looked past by any means.... Thank you! I pray that you find healing and are healthy and find happiness in all the things moving forward.

"Then this guy came wearing a gasmask and holding a pistol" 😂

[@jasonlovell3934]

Stories like these are hearing history from those who made it. Thanks and God bless y’all.

[@Stevenrosswhite]

This man is a true hero. Amazing interview Shawn - best channel on YT

[@1kontrabida]

One word about this whole interview that i can say is...Powerful! Thanks to Kyle, Shawn and the men and women who serve and protect us everyday.
