Thanks for sharing. I'm a VIETNAM vet. We all got our stories, both good and bad. I'm proud of you.

[@sappereliteconstructioncom9948]

We are proud of you as well! Thank you for your service ❤

[@d.rcarrera6599]

Roland, Whatever you are doing seems to be helping you greatly. Keep doing it. Take good care of yourself and family. I am glad you made it home. Tough decisions leading to unfortunate situations are many times out of one's control. In the midst of chaos, the rules of engagement are not always clear. You did your job and you are a very conscientious human being. Thank you brother

[@UrbanValorTV]

I appreciate that brother

[@paladin1544]

Talking helps and listening to this brings back so many memories. Be well brother. War is not a great thing.

[@danteruiz9985]

All I do at work is slap on some of these videos and listen for hours. Every single soldier you’ve had on here talks very proper, I can almost imagine the story’s they tell. Thank you all for your service, goodbless you all

[@bookreaderson]

Being the best. Ego. Hanging out with non sports team school mates. Not being best. No ego

[@thewatcher4552]

I can relate to this in so many ways. 😂 Somehow, my rackmate got his hands on an extra MRE during the crucible. We ate that thing so fast and buried the trash😅 That was the best meal @ P.I.

[@skulllimon425]

Am glad your documating all this stories and that ones that are about to come to your channel. your content is gold. Great stuff defitnely one of my favorites now.

[@StatesideHeathen]

When I watch these videos of yours, I research the Marines/Soldiers that you're guest(s) mentioned were K.I.A. just to see who they were...& honor their memories.. Cpl. Johnathan Taylor as mentioned at 27:51 had the exact same birthday as me 08/14/1987! Fuckin really hits home man. May He R.I.P. two of my personal friends never made it back from Afghanistan: Pfc.Brice Scott & Pfc. Tan Ngo. Never Forget. ❤️🇺🇸

[@TwoBun]

Vitamin B1 Thiamine supplement is helping me a lot, wow. Wow! Also taking some B6, but it's more reactive flush, heat and redness.

[@MrSnafu-1973]

Salute

[@dannycalder1638]

[@jameslopez958]

My Cousin is a Gulf War Veteran and he doesn't say One Word About It! So I don't know if he will ever be able to Talk?

[@unreleasedplug5454]

He’s wearing the same shirt and looks just like the paratrooper 😂

[@1nk0gn3gr0]

The IT story 😂😂😂 brooo I’ve been there 🤣

[@UsmcDevildog-rd1yt]

You look familiar sgt

[@UsmcDevildog-rd1yt]

I was 3/5

[@geoffsmith76]

Man… that was some raw shit. Transitioning out of the Corps was ROUGH… You don’t realize how much you depend on having good people around you to help you make better decisions until they aren’t there… instead they are scattered throughout the country again. And there were no cell phones then. Plus there was a stigma about asking another Marine for his parents phone or address.. was considered kinda gay. And THANK YOU for seeing how broken the system was/is as far as VA Loans and navigating for VA Disability!

[@wildbill60]

👍💯🇺🇸

[@rsparkes01]

I love me some Roland. Sexiest voice in LA

[@scottmccallum5861]

That’s a nice way to rationalize murdering innocent civilians on accident. Criticizing them for driving down their own road in their own country in their own car in their own city. I guess he needs to lie to himself in order not to feel horrible every day for the rest of his life.

[@mikethemechanic7395]

I feel bad for Iraq and Afghanistan vets. I served Army 93/97. I joined to see combat. I wished I was in Vietnam as a kid in the 80s. I never got my wish. Got out pissed off. 9/11 hit. Had a recruiter call me and asked me to rejoin. I knew my military history. I told the recruiter. “ The Russians lost. Why would the US do any better? I developed PTSD from not seeing combat in Somalia. And also I developed anger toward 9/11 vets. I would carry a gun and wait for a 9/11 vet to disrespect me about my peacetime service. I knew I could see combat. But it was a lost cause. Over 20 years later. I was right. After the withdrawal of Afghanistan my PTSD went away. It was cured. I pity 9/11 vets. Stupid war and most of lives. I don’t get the beards and Vietnam vet look. You will never see vets before 9/11 with beards and arm tattoos..

[@DA-br9xd]

PTSD from not seeing combat that just went away when the US pulled out of Afghanistan, huh?

[@thetruth7300]

Sounds like you’re a hater. POG

[@MsRotorwings]

You developed PTSD from NOT seeing combat?

[@DGillian6406]

Nope

[@dman7626]

No no no, you shouldn't if been there. Claiming that a Iraqi family who you gunned down in Iraq shouldn't if been in their homeland shows what's wrong with America. You shouldn't of been there.

[@jasonbourne2171]

Imagine kicking in someone's front door then play a traumatized victim cause you killed some innocent ppl lol tf is wrong with this guy. "What if I didn't do it an my guys got killed" "mfr what if you if you walked outside an get struck by lightning " lol

[@milkcam]

Okay Jason Bourne
