Cleared Hot Episode 199 - Evan Hafer

[@1346crecy]

As a Brit may I say this is by far the best analysis I have heard anywhere about Afganistan. You will never see a full and frank discussion like this on main stream media. Gentlemen thank you for your insight. May I also add, an insight derived from real experience on the ground.

[@bubbaballer88]

Glad to see a Brit who is a true ally. I feared too many of them had gone woke (much like many of the idiots in this country). I agree with your assessment; you'll never hear the media speak truthfully about the failures of planning and execution in the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. We still don't know (and won't for some time) the fallout of this horrific and apathetic policy blunder. Cheers, mate!

The absolute best breakdown of Afghanistan I have heard. Thanks Andy and Evan for this episode, you guys nailed this catastrophe…

[@dan2841]

Listening to these guys, with on the ground first-hand experience clearly breakdown a complex subject, perfectly highlights why there should be prerequisite requirements on people wanting to become political leaders. As well as fixed term limits on all political careers.

[@Matt-po3od]

This is my first comment on this platform and here goes..... That was a compelling chat. The rawness and honesty with which Evan spoke about Afghanistan and the military complex was refreshingly direct and honest... especially for the CEO of a large company. His palpable anger and frustration was obvious. The real perspective and experience bleeds through in his emotion. I quite respect their identification and condemnation of the accepted pedophilia they witnessed in some of the culture over there. I totally agree and shouldn't have to pretend to respect such culture. Appreciate the candor a lot. Well done gents.

[@DrDPD1]

Totally agree with his analysis on Afghanistan, US shouldn't go to war UNLESS its willing to win at all costs.

[@joeldavies2718]

Personally I think it's an unwinnable war, how can you beat them when they can put their gun down and become a civilian. They've lived in those mountains for centuries, they do it very well! The Russians tried their best, in the end the Americans stopped being friends with their latest best friend, Osama Bin Laden, switched sided and gave up Bin Laden's family associates who were fighting. The Russians used the American Int, went and killed them all, because America didn't want to be on the loosing side, so backed Russia, by doing so made an enemy of Bin Laden who was fighting for the love of his people his country. The Americans thinking was that Bin Laden has done alright out of it, he's got money, he'll be ok. How wrong could they be. America for it so wrong, thinking everythings about money. So because of American ignorance and stupidity, you have the birth of Modern terrorism, they created it, unbelievable when you think about it. All these wars terrorist attacks on America could have been avoided.

Thank you. Funny and insightful!

[@richardkostecki121]

Andy I'm pretty sure u got a newly built log cabin I may be wrong . But I think the studs or wall frame or logs etc that u hung the mount on might have had moisture in them prolly very lil but it will cause the wood to swell may have even been moisture transferred from the hide but after two years with heavy heat in the winter especially. It caused the wood to shrink and the wall anchors are no match when loose, against the mighty elk hope u can make another sick mount out of wats left and can't wait for next podcast peace pot smoke alot

Hey Andy, I was just wondering if you would be interested in selling the mount you have nothing to do for? Andy at HFB is making a knife for my fallen brother out of his cammies I had sent to me, and I wanted it to be split with Elk Antler. I am on the wait list but I will happily buy it from you if you want to get rid of it. That would make my…Decade. It’s why we’re doing it, I was paralyzed while in service a few weeks after we lost him. But being paralyzed at 23-now 33, I’ve gained a lot of independence back and keep in the fight, one day at a time. Thank you for the awesome content, I listen to your podcasts every morning.

I prefer non mech as well. I don't lot the 90 to 100 yrd shots tho. I don't think its unethical, but i think, and this dependson where your hunting, but the chances of that animal taking a step as you release that arrow and your shot being off a couple 3ft is greatly increased. 60 and under is preferrable for myself. Its all good until you take that 90yrd shot and that bull decides to move on ya and you slide one thru its belly and you end up spoiling a bunch of meat and or end up tracking it for a day as its suffering. Or not finding it possibly. Also like fixed as they do smash bone well, if they hadn't a solid tip like thundeheads or ramcats etc. Like the way ramcats fly personally 125gr for most things here in mn.
