[@F80mthree]

This is clearly the best military related podcast out. I can’t get enough of these interviews.

[@F3PIZZA]

The Team House, too.

[@justinm.791]

This channel and The Team House are my go to

[@heartandmindovercome3214]

@@F3PIZZA they're good, they talk a crap ton though. I kinda wanna hear the interviewee and not the interviewer so much

[@F80mthree]

@@F3PIZZA both are great! wasn’t trying to knock any other channels.

[@Suko44]

I’d also recommend The Shawn Ryan show by far the best quality podcast in terms of audio and great interviews,also the mike drop podcast

[@dc2288]

I just read Rick Prado's book and then stumbled across this interview. His book was one of the most interesting stories that I have read to date and I read about a book a week many times two books at a time. Mr. Prado is a true badass but you can tell that he has a humble side. Confident - hell ya due to being highly trained.

[@FRM101]

Just found Fugit's channel, two quick ones: 1) the low key, very subdued interview style is such a refreshing change, regardless of topic, and it truly is the best way to demonstrate your repsect for the interviewee (and viewer, for that matter) 2) It never ceases to make me smile when covert operators - military or civilian - describe their circumstances or assignments as "cool." It's easy to forget they were't born a case officer or ops, because by the time we see them, they so inhabit that persona, but the truth is most of these guys have the same "cool berometer" as the rest of us, it's just they've earned the responsibility of living it.

[@gennehring1]

"Man in the Camps" is a legendary nickname. Love it. You need Billy Waugh on the show!!! Please, he's an absolute legend!

[@mikeharlin3900]

These stories should continue to be shared. It gives us a person to learn from in a society of so many people that we shouldn’t be taking advice from. Real hero’s, and real men.

[@heartandmindovercome3214]

Yeah man well said 👍

[@raleighmarlin431]

Awesome interview Ryan . Thanks Ric for your service to this country. I have a whole new respect for the work the CIA does.

[@patduffynousdefions1909]

Thank you Ryan for bringing these outstanding guests. Ric is a treasure trove of information. I've seen all your videos so far but when I saw the thumbnail of 1 - A Browning Hi - Power 2- A Walther PPK 3 - Double Edge Dagger And most importantly 4- The Dutch V -40 mini frag. I knew this podcast was gonna be hot. Nice work Ryan and Ric

[@mr.miller2828]

Growing up watching the Bourne, Bond, and Mission Impossible I never dreamed to hear the men these films are based off of be interviewed. Well done TH.

[@dericspencer5728]

Amazing content as always. So much wisdom packed into this one, from an amazing individual.

[@andre3470]

I hope someday you submit these stories to the Smithsonian, they should be saved as long as America lore!

[@Arbiter710]

Nah, these stories only need to be told to the men that where on that mission or apart of it

[@tdgdbs1]

Smithsonian is left leaning and will never publish or preserve these kind of factual accounts of socialism/communism.

[@manuelsandino9248]

Awesome interview, looking forward to part 2.

[@terrytomlinson8772]

[@TedArchbold-ih3tc]

Awesome interview.

[@beast7245]

Please have more PJ Episodes. We need more stories from those badass dudes

[@mikestone9129]

Ric is a legend in his own time. I can honestly say anyone that was involved in the wars in El Salvador-Nicaragua-Honduras etc either knew Ric or at the very least knew of him. As well as Felix Rodriguez. Bothe men were bad ass dudes.

[@BASE5NYC]

Just finished this guys book. Pretty good. I like that’s he’s an actual bad ass, borderline criminal. Not some pansy ass desk jockey trying to further his career. He put holes in bad dudes. That’s all that matters.

Would pay to see Tyler Grey on your show Ryan.

[@Micah6.8]

Wow!

[@JohnSmith-le5oe]

This is a great series of shows and the intrrviewer is very good at the job. Allows the guest to talk. From the moment i realised Prado was a Cuban emigre i knew what sort he was. His kind remind me of the muslim fanatics we get in the West: 2nd or 3rd gen eration looking back at the muslim motherland through rose coloureds. They become fanatics. Prado's parents knew the score, something he didnt. Communism liberated Cuba from gangsters and mafiosi. All the problems with Cuban economics is due to Amerucan bullyboy tactics. Their bullying failed. Castro outlived his enemies from Kennedy on. I am not a Red or even Social Demicrat, but i really admire Castro's Cuba for the spunk they have shown, standing up to the mist sinuster nation since NAZI Germany. Prado the foreigner speaks of defending the Amerucan rag from hipoues, at least those hippies were Americans and had a genuine grievance against their wicked governments. America the bully was defeated by the VC and has never recovered from that humiliation. Most people agree with the hipoues about it, today. As for Prado's comments about the Contras, loving freedom and God...what rubbish! They actually gaped American nuns, for God's sake. The Sandanistas were also the legal government of that land, chosen by the people. Reagan and his cronies were selling arms to Islamuc fanatics in Iran, a country that attacked the US embassy, there . The White House were traitors. CIA is out of control and has been for decades. Most of us view them as nothing but a bunch of criminals. Prado and his kind should be investigated and put out to grass.

[@timfreeman1665]

Doubt he’s reading any of these comments, but when you’re talking about Duey, are you talking about Michael Dewey McDonald? Passed away in 2010.

[@xavierjames8085]

Pls can you get Joe burns on ? Fighter pilot I believe killed like 3,000 ppl or something like that incredible story would love for you too do a deep dive wit him cus I’ve only seen one 20 min video interview of him n that’s it

[@mikegoodwin5678]

Great show I mostly listen while driving. Please Remember far left and far right are 2 sides of the same coin. Both suck. My Uncle went across Europe under Patten to fight Facism. It sometimes seems like we lose sight of who and what the Greatest Generation was fighting. Life is about balance we need to get back to the middle.

[@terrenceb.9860]

Ryan, was the Hatch Act in play or discussed when you were in the Agency?

He did a short period of time as an Air Force Pararescue (PJ) but spent most of his career at the CIA in Ground Branch

Thanks Combat Story love your videos keep it up 🙏

[@Millennial87]

@@CombatStory Ryan, your doing such a great job with your channel. Thank you so much. Please interview an AF CCT combat veteran if you know any. I washed out their indoc when I was in the AF and have lived with that regret and would love to know what happened with those men I knew during that time in 2005 as they continued on and eventually became operators. They get to pperate with other tier 1 teams in JSOC and I imagine they have some wild stories.
