I have to ask you to do this. Explsin how exactly he was "fighting for his country". If some Canadians,Mexicans, and Russians flew some planes into some buildings in China. And China invaded to spread some communism because they and other commie countries think its best. You'd just bow right Joe? Or even if you were a goat herder you would pick up.a rifle and fight the invaders? Take your pick. Its one or the other.

I was a Corpsman in the Navy. I had to treat patients that were acused of heinous crimes such as rape, child abuse, spouse abuse and other things. I had to treat belligerent drunks cussing and spitting at me. I always treated them like patients needing care. I tried not to look at their alledged crimes and focused only on their illness or injuries. I didn't work in a brig oe military prison. It was regular hospitals. Sometimes inmates or accused were brought to the hospital. I just did my job. This guy killed a POW. That was not his job. He is not a hero. His job was to detain and make sure the POWs were secure. It's murder. Killing an enemy combantant who is actively trying to kill you is different than killing an unarmed captured enemy fighter.

[@d.rcarrera6599]

I completely agree Navy brother. The podcast appears early on leaning to his bias. Many none veterans support military conflicts but would never serve in the military. I did four years in the Marines and was in the infantry. I was in the Marines before this mess was escalating. This guy wants to justify what he did. In reality, the Army should have carefully screened him. Four months there and he snapped. A Marine from Chicago went through a similar scenario. This guy is a war criminal. He and the host want to ignore this situation and make what was illegal to legal and justified. You can tell the host was never in the military. Maybe, at best, he was in the reserves.

Great interview ! You missed one excellent question that I thought should have been asked - How many OFFICERS are doing time in Leavenworth ? My bet is just a mere handful while there will be hundreds of enlisted, if not thousands. The military justice system bends over backwards to avoid convicting officers, and if it can't avoid it they try to give them the minimum sentence possible. An officer usually has to have done something really heinous, unable to be covered up, or have publicly shamed/humiliated his unit/branch to end up with a prison sentence. They'll sentence enlisted to prison without a 2nd thought.

Na fuck this dude, no remorse and the irony here is many of the people probably say dude's a hero and are "for vets" more than likely vote against the very policies that were brought up to help veterans like H.R.2436.

[@camwitherspoon936]

Boy you didn't fight over there you have no balls or clue to know what it's like having your guys killed in front of you while this man was fighting for are country zip it 🤡

[@Anunnaki4238]

For real, like first 5 min were fine but then only like 10min he's bragging about how he isn't ok with like trans people in the military and shit cuz he believes in God...like if you dont agree with "left ideas" thats fine but when its someone who says its because morals and God...bro you MURDERED and did not forgive your enemy which is a HUGE part of the bible. He killed a terrorist who killed his friends but then draws the line at weird culture war issues? Then says he doesnt drink just works out...cool? He likes the food because its nutrition? It's like he's trying to tell people how tough he is rather than saying how you shouldn't go to prison. I'm wondering if there's something else missing because even most conservative marine types I know don't act so proud like him. He says the death of his squad caused him to mentally snap but usually, even psychology would show, if you unalive someone, it will cause PTSD. For someone so affected by the death of his squad it's weird he doesn't even have the "I snapped but regret it because I have flashbacks" type stuff.

Aint no way id let this guy be near me with a straight razor

[@TheWhateverMan420]

I remember Chapman. He killed Frick who happened to be the umpire. He mentioned he didn't know why Chapman was there. Chapman was there for Capital Rape. He became a jailhouse lawyer and was fighting his case. I don't know if his charges were for real, like if he did it but he def got sentenced for it

[@Shlangable]

Great Interview!

[@C.O.SBurpees]

Dang the way this guy speaks idk i can see that hes hurting bad inside even tho he laughs and smiles throughout the video

[@veeseee128]

Military Prison vs State Prison?? Are u kidding me?? That's a no brainer. I would rather be in a Military prison. Why? Because its much safer. They have structure and it is a controlled environment. The food is good or decent and the facilities are much, much better.

[@ShooterMcgavin6]

To all the people judging what he did you don’t understand where he was at. As a combat vet I completely understand the mind set he had to be in. War puts a person into unusual and extreme circumstances and with that comes unusual and extreme responses. I agree with this dude they weren’t a pow and insurgent is not a the same thing. This human deserved what they got. People forget about 9/11 and the 1000’s that died.

[@Karmah01]

How can you send someone into combat and then charge him with murder???????? Makes no damn sense!

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Bleeding heart liberals.....

[@TommyGetTheBag]

Killing a combatant and killing a prisoner are two different things. Your being very simplistic on how your looking at the situation.

[@lookingbehind6335]

He wasn’t in combat. The “combatant” was already in prison. It wasn’t like they were on a mission and encountered hostile resistance.

[@billy5179]

That dude needs serious help. He is nuts. Thanks for the video, joe.

[@72FrostyOne]

He is getting help. The number one thing is realizing you have a problem. He realizes he has a problem and speaks out honestly about it. He has no remorse for killing an individual that was personally responsible for killing his team, he speaks what most people speak only in their own minds. He did what every single combat vet thinks and dreams of doing to terrorists. TBH, his CoC knew exactly what he was capable of doing, yet put the terrorist in confinement on the same FOB Lawerence was at and then… had Lawerence stand guard over him. It almost looks like PFC Lawerence was set up to be a designated fall guy.

[@billy5179]

@@72FrostyOne I am a former french legionaire with a tour through iraq, partly alongside american soldiers. NO VETERAN should dream about commiting warcrimes and then have the stupidty to say he is proud to have done it. if he would have killed him in the field, still at rage, i might have understood, but he was back at base, had the time to cool off and his victim was unarmed. That is cold blooded murder, no matter how you try to justify it. He is crazy and dangerous and does not even grasp the magnitude off his actions and how this reflects on the US military.

[@scotttyJewT]

Excellent interview Joe. This guest, however, was clearly there to try and insert politics into your show. of course it’s your choice. If you want that on your show, the big problem I have with this guy is he is saying he is right for breaking laws. And illegally killing people Everybody who is ever been on your show has said yes it was wrong to violate laws and it’s wrong to illegally kill people. This guy is it’s clearly proud of violating laws and killing people illegally as long as he thinks it’s the right thing to do. I have every respect in the world for those who served except for those who served, and because of that it makes them think that they can disrespect our laws and disrespect fellow countrymen, just because they have a different political opinion. I find it incredibly suspect that he’s receiving death threats, but can’t give any proof or details of these death threats but somehow knows he’s receiving death threats from people who have a leftist persuasion and that’s all he knows and that’s the only information he can provide about it? Again, I have every respect in the world for those who served except those who think they can illegally kill people and break our laws and then brag about it. I don’t care if you’re a veteran, an inmate or whatever if if you’re proud of illegally violating our laws and killing people then you’re wrong. It doesn’t matter how long you served in the military. Illegally killing people absolutely qualifies as terrorism. This gentleman is justifying his terrorism because he was terrorizing a terrorist?

[@stevie1683]

I'm only half through the interview and I keep thinking, " this guy might kill again if he thinks it's justified, in his mind".

[@tituslowman5957]

I was going to write something like you did, but I did not want to deal with being shouted down for telling the truth. You had the fortitude to state the right thing. I don’t understand how so many can think he is a hero and a victim. I did think it was funny when he said people with higher rank told him…whatever. Almost everyone is higher rank than a PFC… That could mean a specialist or sergeant. Hell, even a PFC with more time in rank.

Awesome video Joe all the uploads lately really feel like the old APS hope you keep making videos !

[@AquaporinA1]

Murdering a person, no matter how vile the person is, while he is confined in a jail cell is wrong on many levels. You are lucky that you only spent 7 years in prison. You committed a war crime. Nothing to be proud of. You are mentally unhinged if you can not see how wrong it is to kill someone in custody. Now, on the battlefield, that is different. Not taking prisoners on a battlefield is different. To say you are a Christian, and yet say you would not hesitate to kill someone even to this day, does not make sense. You are no more a Christian than the Taliban are nice people. You are mentally unhinged. The only things that I would agree with is that there are people in a military prison that should not be there and that politicians should stay out of the day to day operation of a war that they put the military in.

[@mongobongo91]

You're not wrong. Just funny how when it's done in the open yall call it murder. When our government does it when they say it should be done most of you clowns say well yeah war is hell. Go down range yourself and see how not at all black and white the world really is.

Thank you for saying "people in prison or jail" making it clear that the two are not the same, even though your still incarcerated. I hate it when people call jail "prison" because it isn't, there's a big difference.

[@SelkonAngelo]

I don't particularly think what he did was acceptable in regards to combat vs killing a prisoner not being the same. I will say though, if this man has to face the consequences than our government officials and politicians should also face consequences for all that they've done. ps: Keep up this amazing content Joe, APS is going hard lately.

I served 3yrs in Quantico in VA., it’s a Medium But held Maxs , one step below Leavenworth.. • Minimum - Ft.

You would be unhinged too if you went to war as a child of 18. That's why the military likes young recruits. They can mold them into whatever they want them to be. I had a friend that went to Beirut@19 and came back 3yrs later. I came up from behind him and tapped him on the shoulder to say hi when he returned. He almost kicked the crap out of me because he wound up with PTSD. They did the same thing to Vietnam vets.
