[@horace9703]

Dave is a very humble guy. Quiet impressive what he did during GWOT.

[@stevejohnson6032]

Absolutely the best interviews are on The Team House and Combat Story.

[@jerryj3047]

I don't know why but Dave reminds me Brad Fowers, a Quiet Warrior with a lot of knowledge, always humble ready to help...nice video

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Fun fact: Dave was born without hair but with a thick moustache as a baby.

[@goldencheese7247]

I was shook when I heard it back then. I was shook when I saw Dave back on the podcast. Shook again hearing it again and seing how it still touches him tothe core. Damn I'm so glad he's alive and doing so amazing. Much love from Germany.

[@kathrynludrick4821]

Dave makes a great point re "consensual combat."

[@thomaslunsford5644]

[@generalkrang7138]

Glad Dave got over that attack in NY a while back. Been there, kind of... not bad though. Metal bar back of the head in Ireland haha. As a fan of Team House, donated as much as I could. Keep it up man 👍 We need you healthy so we can keep getting great content!!! 😁

[@stammercane2427]

Amazing story, love the team house as well! Thanks for your service! RIP Robert "creature" Budrick #USARMY #RANGER #1SFG #CONTRACTOR #22ADAY

[@nonames6517]

Amazing interview, I sub to and enjoy both channels and have always had a curiosity about Dave and his background. Very humble and dare I say unassuming. One of the best interviews so far on either channel to be honest. Thanks for bringing these stories to the public and sharing your experiences.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Dave, you're a freaking beast brother! Hell of a great podcast.

[@soldtobediers]

''There are men too superior to be seen except by the few, as there are notes too high in scale for most ears.'' Emerson said that. ''For every ten people you find clipping at the leaves of evil, you're' lucky to find one who's clipping at the roots.'' Thoreau said that. ''None are closer to the author of pain & sacrifice Himself; than those who choose to perform it for the sake & safety of others.'' -11b4p 1/504 back in '74, said that.

[@rakkassan2187]

Thank you.

[@ryanjones4917]

Looking forward to this one.

[@lonpearson2134]

Telling these stories is an important endeavor. Kind of like Dave’s book about mistakes made in Viet Nam. If there are lessons to be learned through efforts that don’t involve violence, give it all your attention.

[@Deepc69]

Loved it, only request is to go into some of the special stuff the navy divers do like the dark and deep stuff never hear anyone go into it but I grew up in that world so I hope someone does someday

[@zibabird]

Thank you Sirs, shared.

[@grayanderson1222]

Excellent podcast lads!

[@Loneranger670]

Respect 👊🏻

[@emptynester9241]

Damn I had no idea that Dave was a Navy Diver and linguist

[@briangregory6303]

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that after Marine Corps basic training, Dave had to do Navy and Army basic, and I'm Air Force.

[@lorenzo.1977]

A comment sacrifice for the youtube gods.

[@LvoZee05]

Hairless menace

[@TheUpGrayed]

The description of the brain reboot is spot on. As an idiot who has started too many fights I can absolutely relate. Safe mode is a very good comparison.

[@mikhailarutyunyan4126]

That is really frustrating. Serving all this years and being so randomly, pointlessly and severely attacked on his own country, on a subway... This attack would kill a less prepared person.

[@songen1042]

So was Dave a contractor for ground branch or a different government intelligence unit, I think I have heard of afghan 01 units with attached CIA advisors so he could have worked for the CIA but not in a direct role like a GB contractor would in a DA capacity

[@jimclayron417]

He could have been a private contractor

[@SS-gy1cx]

I’m thinking he contracted for DIA or CIA. Some sort of operational intelligence job.. There’s a company out there called “Operational Intelligence LLC” that fits the bill pretty bang on.

[@SS-gy1cx]

Would also like to make note of a company called “black sky” that does the same sort of thing. Geospatial intel and all that.

[@MikeHunt-rw4gf]

Algorithm.

[@danielomaha3733]

I was French foreign legion how do i become a Paramilitary contractor.

[@joesgotya9930]

Dave has basically done everything in the military minus being in a marching band.

[@georgewashington938]

Dave, was your subway incident a diversity experience?
