Medal of Honor Marine Kyle Carpenter | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 113

[@onlycasual1]

It's incredible how soft spoken and thoughtful Kyle sounds while having the heart of a lion at the same time

[@TheRealWilliamm]

I mean is he soft spoken ? Change playback to 1.25 x speed and he sound normal lol

[@ZombieCleaner]

walk softly and carry an M249.

[@catadjusterZ]

yep, I could take him in a fight... So I drop him do I get to keep his MoH?

[@tylerblalack6684]

​@@catadjusterZ like cod dogtags lmao

[@catadjusterZ]

@@tylerblalack6684 Hello my friend, I don't understand cod dogtags. Help me out please

[@frankmousser8691]

Thanks for having him on, i remember seeing him on Letterman brought tears to my eyes and he made me feel proud to be a Marine, Semper Fi.

[@josephvega3763]

Same.

[@ExtremelyRightWing]

Thanks to all of you. You should be proud.

[@Chertoff88]

Everyone take note on the differences between this guy and the blowhards. He is the real deal, no arrogance, nothing fake, he exudes honor.

[@muttsandmuscles29]

Amen to that

[@catadjusterZ]

I have yet to hear any arrogance save for Kennedy. Although the 2 I'm going to touch base with are on opposite sides of the spectrum I feel the 2 interviews that really affected me are Kyle Carpenter and Development group k9 handler Will Chesney "Cheese. Cheese and Cairo were on the UBL raid. Yet the way Mr. Chesney speaks, there's a complete lack of arrogance and he speaks with authenticity

[@tugboatamerica]

He doesn't have to prove anything to any man, he's the real deal

[@simonnizerontheroad]

Indeed, I agree, very humble and humbling man. Totally the opposite of another certain Marine MoH recipient

[@muriloninja]

That's because he is legit! Great guy and his attitude is infectious and we need more men like him out in public speaking and exposing young men to real heroes and men they can look up to.

[@deadcattleranch]

This mans book has helped me through some very dark times im not very proud of ,but I can tell you im proud I came out the other side , thank you mister carpenter my family and I are for ever grateful ,and thank you mike for making thin interview happen sir God bless

[@elizabethr.1127]

God bless you 🙏

[@Sigsupporter]

I’m not a person that is star struck but when I had the opportunity to shake this MEDAL of HONOR recipients hand it took a bit of self coaching to approach him and he couldn’t have been a nicer more humble human! Thanks to you both for your service!🇺🇸

[@RollieFingers59]

My son is active duty USMC and is deploying soon. It comforts me that he’s got brothers like Kyle with him. God Bless. Thanks Mike, another awesome job

[@mickfunny4185]

@Red Out “deploying” where to, IRQ, AFG, even SYR are over in terms of combat.

[@PlumbingArkansas]

Will listen to this guys story anytime I see it. Truly inspiring. And Mike frames the interview so well. Pumped for this!

[@annablessing8993]

An amazing man Kyle Carpenter is. Squared away upstanding Marine. I am a proud daughter of a late Marine. Great guest Mike, you sure pick badass HEROS, thank you for your service, Both of you 🇺🇸 very grateful for you!

[@evaneason6906]

Man he is a beautiful soul. I could listen to him talk endlessly and never feel the need to rush him. Mike couldn't have done any better letting Mr Kyle take his time saying whatever he had to.

[@calebcutler7439]

Words can't explain how much I enjoyed this interview, Kyle is such a well thought person and says what he means. If we could all be alittle like Kyle, this world would be an amazing place.

[@jason11286]

Hearing Kyle talk about Pedro made me think back to hearing Jocko talking about them in a podcast before, saying they would fly in "with a reckless disregard for their own lives" to medevac wounded, just gives me chills.

[@MartsEntertainment]

This man is incredible, and his humility truly shows his honor.

[@bradkister79]

Mike is a great patriot, and a great interviewer as well.. So, he's likely to bring Kyle's story to life in a whole new way

[@dexterityviking]

Such a powerful episode , brought tears to my eyes a dozen times! Thank you both for your service and sacrifices. Kyle is extremely well spoken! Definitely my favorite episode!

[@elizabethr.1127]

It is an honor for us too Mike. Feeling privileged to hear his story.

[@johnmacri7440]

This marine is special. God bless him and thank you for having him on Mike. Obama did a great job giving him the Medal of Honor and I’m not an Obama fan. And thanks for the dog food really helped my dogs a lot stop scratching and better coat.

[@evielovesu8042]

Kyle Carpenter is a REAL AMERICAN HERO!!!

[@Kyledaniels88]

Wow.

[@MFKR696]

How does that boot leather taste?

[@evielovesu8042]

@@MFKR696 sorry when was the last time you jumped on a grenade???

[@Sarge80]

Semper Fi brother Kyle. I have seen quiete a few of his podcasts, over the last few years, it never gets old. Eating a grenade for breakfast, to safe your buddy. Super hero.

[@JunkieMonkey321]

kyle is a damn king. the best example of a pure heart and a positive mindset.

[@jamesgunnyreed]

This was the best podcast with Kyle I have ever watched or listened to.

[@carlgregory5219]

Wow !! He told his and his brothers' stories so well !! Thank you both !! 🙏🏽

[@tracyrouse1153]

Thank you gentlemen!! Wish every single person in America would listen to this. It is very humbling to hear this. Also, the every day things that people call problems are so selfish and insignificant. Thank you both for your service and sacrifice and thank you both for making this world a better place.

[@Juhani139]

An hour in, just want to say 1. This guy can tell a story. When he told about his arrival at the island you can see it. 2. He's very soft spoken, which makes him easy to listen to. Looking forward to hearing his story. Def one of the best speakers you've had on. Later: I really felt it when he said he's disappointed he couldn't take every bit of it for Nick. 😭 Great interview, Mike. Thanks for letting him talk. Finished. This guy deserves it. Not for what he did, but for how humble he is.

[@ryankolb4447]

Kyle Carpenter is the definition of a true American hero

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

I just sat through four hours of this interview. Just blown away by Kyle Carpenter.

[@brendanriley1968]

Marines always impress me. They always have and they always will. This young man is no exception!🇺🇸

[@ManCityFanTV]

What a wonderful human being. Kyle’s book is amazing. 💪

[@bigdave5915]

This man has mesmerized me for the pass few hrs.. wow.. what a hero

[@terryrogers5496]

God bless you, Sir. Your sacrifice will always endure in American memory. Thanks Mike.

[@candycooper5375]

My cousin was a Marine in Vietnam. Squared away describes him to a tee. Thanks for sharing your story. Great show, Mike.

[@Forged407]

Thanks Mike and Kyle for your service. Damn good Americans

[@fishlips8336]

So soft spoken yet the definition of "warrior"

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

The war just beat this guy up, he is an American hero, a bad ass, and he deserves better than the government we are stuck with.

[@TheWayWeWere-rr7rs]

This man doesn’t need a government to take care of him. He is a force upon himself!

[@Cjmm007]

Love this dude. Incredible human, incredible story. It would be an honor to meet him!

[@natejackson4791]

That's an incredible story about an incredible soldier. I've never seen the picture of his rifle. I have followed this man for a bit. God bless you

[@usuallyadam]

Edit that to Marine QUICKLY! the jarheads are coming! and they won't quit!

[@georgecoull1883]

*MARINE 🤬

[@ObamaFromKenya]

@Nate Jackson marine not soldier 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@jamesgunnyreed]

Ive watched a ton of Military podcasts with so many great hero's... Ive seen almost every one Kyle has done, the ones I know of anyway. He has really taken on the role of a Medal of Honor Recipient and seems to have embraced it more than most. Every time you hear him speak he is so humble, appreciative, thankful to be alive, and an inspiration...Never any drama surrounding him or any appearances he does, no woe is me talk ever (which he certainly has earned if he wanted to). He is a Marine so Im sure he has said his fair share of swear words but Ive never heard him say one in an interview..After all he has gone through, his outlook on life is refreshing. He reminds me of a young version of Herschel "Woody" Williams. Semper Fi Cpl Carpenter!

[@Allyourbase1990]

Semper Fi Kyle !! Dude is the living embodiment of a Marine . Glad he made it back . Dudes so humble

[@pattywinans9556]

I usually listen to Mike Drop while driving but I had to redownload KZbin to see Kyle. He’s an inspiration on so many levels. Army mom & proud but reminds me of why my son almost chose the Marines. Thank you Kyle for your service and sacrifice.

[@joncrabill5433]

Wow….Kyle you are the epitome of a Marine. Thank you for your service brother!

[@-Silly-Willy-0]

What an attitude! Love his humbleness

[@mattmccall8430]

Best one yet Mike, Kyle had me in tears what a great person

[@slipstream5542]

Semper Fidelis Cpl Kyle Carpenter what an AWESOME interview, brings back memories of my Marine service ❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@tristanmma8407]

What an incredible person. I can’t even imagine how many lives this guy has inspired..👀🙏

[@Newbobdole]

Kyle has a calming presence, his perspective through his long recovery period is incredible

[@TheWayWeWere-rr7rs]

I adore your channel. I can’t believe how absolutely strong these men are. I mean we know our service members are ‘the best’ of our men, but these interviews show just what mental and physical fortitude is. For such young men they have so much heart snd soul💙❤️thank you all for standing for us in every kind of insanity.

[@AMG-316]

Mike is a great interviewer and I think would make a good journalist!! Thanks Mr. Ritland!!

[@marygracewills8888]

Outstanding young man.

[@jeremyleforce7926]

I love his story telling!

[@mrs8171]

Not much more to say Mike, than a "job well done Mike!" Just a phenomenal episode.

[@ExtremelyRightWing]

Seeing such a positive attitude from somebody that has plenty of reasons not to, kinda makes me ashamed that i worry about some of the petty things that i sometimes do.

[@VIKINGKING95]

Amazing episode and thank you for fixing the audio

[@internet_internet]

I appreciate you, Kyle.

[@adamkolakowski5356]

What an exemplary human being. As always, great job Mike, you have a perfect approach for each individual interview. If more ppl here were like Kyle America would be in much better shape.

[@to8860]

Thanks Mike!!!

[@70stunes71]

Awesome brothers. What a great interview/info.

[@trevorlahey2210]

You know when Kyle talked about the goat being tied to the tree around the 203:00 mark Mike wanted to make a goat F-ING joke so bad. 🤣🤣🤣

[@bmcantrell619]

Appreciate you both doing this. Good shit

[@chriscanterbury8647]

Thank you both for your service!

[@brad8785]

He represents the best of America!

[@tfouty8804]

Great interview! Looking forward to hearing you on Kyle's podcast. And Mike . . .did I hear you say "Amen"?

[@GruntHumor]

Just looked to see if anything is worth listening to or watching and I see this was uploaded a minute ago. LFG

[@williamduggins2172]

Humble man.

"[The marines] are fantastic. They are the most elite fighting force on the planet" - Navy SEAL Don Shipley

[@82lowe36id]

Kyle seems like such a humble dude. Would love to just sit and BS with him someday.

[@lukeblakemore1137]

Outstanding interview

[@chair2930]

Really goes to show how difficult it is to get promoted in the Marine Corps infantry. The man had to jump on live ordinance just to get promoted to Cpl.

[@revnation_auto]

Awesome interview!

[@stxrod23]

Kyle is an example of God having a bigger plan for him in life.

[@Allison_Chaynes]

2 legends!!!!

[@sgtred111]

I was hoping you would have Kyle Carpenter on. He is a GREAT AMERICAN!

[@Suko44]

It surprised me that he gave his BC drill instructions so much credit they really do work 18 hour days for months on end

[@kettlecrush]

great interview, amazing guy indeed

[@rooster7658]

Happy veterans day Big Dogs

[@cjstn78]

Incredible! What a humble extraordinary man

[@Zx10mezz]

Wow!!! When they told him the bird that dropped in to save him was there in the hanger 😮 chills. What a story! Kyle is American hero!

[@patking7990]

You are a great interviewer. Really remind me of Carson.
