I’ve watched a number of these incredible interviews and so many of them grew up just like me. Going into the woods and playing army. (Opalski, Tom Shea, Dale Thompson, this guy). These interviews are great because it’s a lot of gen x guys with similar upbringings going on to do amazing things. Makes me proud of who I am, makes me wonder about kids who live in front of screens, then again maybe that will be their battlefield - in front of screens.

I completely agree with that sentiment. I joined the AF in 94 ended up going into CSAR and I loved it but I got out after 8 years after seeing so many close friends die.

[@PaulAmerican]

Wow, "show me your friends and I will show you your future".

[@yosefthomas804]

What if the guy has no friends ?

This is one of my favorite channels! I definitely have more respect for this channel compared to any other one. Just awesome.

[@saldana787]

Man I wish this was longer! Great and powerful stories from Jason. Would love to hear more from his, or anyone else’s, time as the 18A

[@bradkister79]

I am always amazed at the unique skillset of our warrior class. Humility, compassion, the desire to serve others,, and ultimately, the high level of success.

[@F3PIZZA]

Every Mormon I’ve ever met has been ridiculously awesome to me and those around them. Core values of treating other’s well.

[@cyber_crypto]

Same can be said of islam 🤡

[@nicholaswalker8496]

Ryan Sir! Any possibility of bringing Van Camp back for a longer more extensive interview?! Would Love to hear more about his time in SF

[@soonerfrac4611]

So I was an Reserve MP assigned to Ft. Sill, and during 9/11. I kept calling my leadership and asking if we were going anywhere, kept saying that they didn’t know yet but to be packed and ready. Finally got the word and drove across the state & showed up near 10pm. What struck me was that the sky over Post was entirely lit up, I could see it almost 40 miles away & it made me wonder if it had been attacked. As I got closer it became apparent that they were launching illumination rounds all over post that night. The first 2 weeks they didn’t have a place for us to sleep and we slept in the basement of our active counterparts barracks and in they’re day room. Working shift work we had a few cots and 2 pool tables and we had to hit bunk with the other guy. Was a crazy time, and crazy to think that I was there at the same time.

I remember Army struggling those years, I was at Northwestern and those were the Garry Bernnet years

Amazing story , I'm glad both of you are here today with us & able to give an insight to civilians about combat vets. Thanks for your service!🇺🇸

[@seymourditty1768]

Superb interview. Absolute stand up man and leader.

[@Dr.J.Garlock]

HOYA SAXA!! Georgetown football! I played LB @ GU from ‘90-‘93 (CAS ‘94). We’ve obviously never been a “football school” and I honestly didn’t make football my first priority, but I’ll always have nothing but great memories of my time on the Hilltop.

[@OvelNick]

Hot damn!!! Boom... Perfect timing! ...flattening/refurbing my two Roubo tops this afternoon and this is fking awesome to have a new Combat Story podcast to work too!!

Thank you for this Dope ass Content💯

[@b.bruster1462]

There’s always that moment when everything becomes ‘real’. I hated it. Still do. Thanks Jason.

[@pzkpfw6864]

I grew up down the road in Fairfax

[@av8tore71]

I hear ya about having kids and just letting them roam the neighborhood however, is it bad to let them have a cell phone with apps (Verizon's Smart Family) where it tells the parent the location of that cell. My 14 year old daughter has that and I check it when she is on the bus so I can tell if she is on the bus. It's a shame that we cannot let them do what we did growing up because some idiot might do something. I'm an attorney and I see it everyday in court where felons do stuff the kids and I don't know Total Dynamics have changed

[@enricopallazzo3244]

Exactly why I bought a small house on a huge piece of property. My daughter will be outside or bored af inside.

[@chad5718]

Awesome video. Please someone from the 24th sts

[@lukebrown4001]

When is john shrek mcphee 3rd podcast

[@TaintNunya]

Ahh, no discussion about the USMC. Why? No, stop. I already know. Because you don't know. I went to SERE C with a bunch of Army Captains. Cry babies!!! I already had a huge amount of other training and education you folks take for granted nowadays. Luckily, I was a Gunnery Sergeant then and knew the NCO's around me (Joint). Men who had served far longer individually than either of you "boys" collectively. Pull my finger...Regardless of my rant. Gents, keep the ball rolling. You are loved and respected and honored by U.S. MARINES. Thank you for this interview. God Bless you both.

[@tonyfknb3896]

Lets be honest we wanna hear the combat stories

[@weaponrecords8474]

Love this guy. No homo.

[@Call_Me_Dragon]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@etherjoe505]

I wonder if some of the attrition In something like Ranger School is lack of recovery. There are probably candidates who would be good Rangers, who are injured and don't get recovery time, who opt out because the injury is too severe. If that's so then you're losing good people just from statistical chance of who gets injured and who doesn't. Maybe more Rangers would graduate if there was more recovery time built in. Think about it, you're building warrior athletes, athletes need recovery time. Same fitness level, same dedication, better system. A thought.

[@md8590]

But is it REALLY too dangerous for your kids to walk to school? I'm in Australia so it may be different here, I hear people talking all the time how it's so dangerous now compared to when they were growing up, but when you look at the actual statistics the reverse is actually true.

[@stammercane2427]

In America it depends on where you live and the type of neighborhood you're living in. Class doesn't necessarily play a role, but geo location and that places political beliefs

[@kathyborthwick6738LakotaEmoji]

You are right!✨✨☀️✨✨

[@Jack-oz4bf]

I swear to God I'm going to join the military just to bring back the silent warrior. I know these stories should be shared but a part of me also thinks they should not be shared partly because it gives away tactics some tactics I mean I know they're basic but you can learn a lot if you listen to this and the extremists are getting smart and they're digital now so they're online they're probably watching all of this and learning from it so I'm on the fence about this I know these men should be honored and their story should be remembered but is it going to cost something?

[@jamesshine2033]

Uh. Those Dudes have been fighting for over 200 years. I pretty sure they know most all patrol moves and elements that you need to look out for.

[@Patriotx-gx4ce]

We sent the best man to foreign lands to fight for supposed "Democracy" yet our nation has been taken over by enemies domestic and foreign. That is the part that hurts me the most after ending my Mountain Infantry career.

[@pakmatherdiverb]

Way too short of a session Looking for more from this similar to how Rogan and Jocko do 3-5 hours Was not ready for Th is story to end

[@cyber_crypto]

The whole story is dope except the weird mormon stuff.
