The Jordan of Operators! 🇺🇸🌎🪖

[@johnmorganjr769]

Big fan here !! 👍

[@PaWhiteTailHunter]

@johnmorganjr769 by far David's best interview. He was on his way to the SRS level until he started with those, I know something you don't know segments. People don't tune in to hear you say I know information, but I'm not going to say it's a huge turnoff. Hope he gets back on track way better than SRS. All that's missing is production.

[@mikeyrodriguez3193]

Coach is a freaking GWOT legend! Hanging at the range or good food and drinks with him is nothing short of a good time. PhD level knowledge and constant laughing lol

[@muriloninja]

This dude is a "break glass in case of War" type! Another overachiever from 1st Ranger Batt, to ODA (SF), to the Unit (then back to ODA/CIF).

[@austinbratton9973]

Agreed 99% of people wouldn't last a day in his shoes

[@azovandy14.88]

The news, mostly foreign press, were able to beat them there not bc they were “dirty” (they may be but has no bearing here) but bc they had been in Afghanistan since 9/12/01 and had local fixers transport and translators in place and only had to watch the heavy bombing that was going on.

[@forwardprogressonly]

His awesome, straight shooter

[@Ry43deck]

Why never any mention of SBS and German SF who were a vital part of the Tora Bora mission?

[@tonym6854]

He mentioned them in other podcasts and praised them all. You can't mention everything all the time

[@bartmay9560]

Shrek finally

[@Mr_Clean]

The interview is from David's old channel called American voices. It's 2 years old. Just search American voices John shrek McPhee

I was deployed to the Waygal valley Afghanistan a very notorious valley for the cia they literally set up Bella and the ranch house that valley had literally the worst fighting of the war in 2007. And we knew then he was in Pakistan

Just imagine getting on this guy’s bad side.

You’re a good interviewer. You help the audience by being prepared and helping the interviewee as well.

[@tomatonator22]

This guy definitely has a few screws loose😂

[@azovandy14.88]

Yeah unfortunately he’s on some conspiracy theory tip after becoming jaded from serving probably a little too long at the tip of the spear.

[@LRRPFco52]

​@@azovandy14.88 What conspiracy theory are you referring to? I must have missed it.

[@Cedarsunrun]

@@azovandy14.88 if the guy who has spent his life at the tip of the spear has theories, they’re probably not conspiracies.

[@dartymcphee6738]

@@azovandy14.88 isn’t it a conspiracy theory for you to think that of someone way more advanced & experienced than you?

Everything is about this dude! He was a TM SGT C 3/7?

Lets go SOB!!!

[@trailbreaker11]

Thank god someone “broke the glass” and let Shrek out to war during the times we needed him the most. Legend.

[@blacklight4720]

Lay down the coke dude. That's ex-Delta?

[@deathfire096]

This guy is coked out.

[@johnmullin9067]

If the unit is the best why didnt they kill him? They picked the seals instead

[@henrygonzalez360]

Pretty sure they get rotations under JSOC. Oh btw, Delta took in Sadaam and stitched up Al-Baghdadi.🇺🇲

[@johnmullin9067]

@henrygonzalez360 I'm not saying they aren't great but everyone compares the two. I personally feel they both are good at different things. Delta is top tier but so is seal team 6

[@henrygonzalez360]

​@@johnmullin9067 It's just odd how nobody mentioned Devgru before the Abottabad raid. Most people thought that regular Seals were the best that the Navy had to offer, but Delta has been known as a Top Counter Terrorism Unit for a while. But like I said in the 1st post, they work together under JSOC. I just prefer the 🤫🤐🤫 of Delta. D Boys move in silence, for the most part.

[@Ry43deck]

​@@henrygonzalez360both elite units and very similar in everything, however you say you prefer the sneaky silence of delta...but in all honesty I've seen more interviews and content with former Delta guys than I have Devgru, 😅 😅😅

[@tonym6854]

​@@johnmullin9067Hmmm. They had shooting competitions between 6 and Delta and D beat them easily every time

[@craigcrawford6749]

His stories don't sync. He's dropping bombs with his air force guy then suddenly he's alone.

[@josmaple5171]

@@Peppermint988 Its a person summarising things from 20+ years ago... He is summarising entire months of opp's and lead up prep into what sounds like a couple of weeks... Also it was very unconventional at that stage with likely foggy lines between chain of command and limited numbers on the ground aka Wild West.

[@deathfire096]

cocaine is a powerful drug.

[@Danssquirtlebox]

He’s summarizing an enormous amount. Kill bin Laden, the mission the men and me, parts of Roberts ridge, alone at dawn in particular deals with the CAS war and the initial destruction they laid on right after 9/11. Joe Okeefe and Calvin Markham did the early CAS killing. SEALs left another SEAL and a CCT on top of a mountain. Delta was demolishing AQ with the agency and Air Force teams and then the SEALs pushed their way in. Anyway. Lots happening in that summary.

[@EatDatBitchAwp]

If you know shrek then you know what operations and the timeline he’s talking about. If you genuinely think he’s at tora bora and then magically he’s by himself then you obviously failed school for not learning critical thinking.

[@jimmymc10021]

Good to see him not mention the UKSF SBS and the German SF who also took part in the operation. He makes the mission sound like he was the only one there. I guess he has a book coming out....

[@TAPRACKEM]

If you know Shrek, you'd know he isn't the book type.

[@tonym6854]

He mentioned them in a few other podcasts and gave high praise. Can't talk about everything all the time. Jeesh.

[@EatDatBitchAwp]

Sorry to tell you but operators don’t say ever single detail about every operation they are talking about, get over it.

[@troymash8109]

Shrek lies quite a bit and when he's not doing that? He's talking straight out his ass. Every time he speaks, nothing syncs once you've really reviewed it.

[@deathfire096]

Most elite unit in the military? LOL. DEVGRU "Hold my drink"
