For all the shit the trolls give Danny, I really think he's become a better interviewer after doing more and more interviews. Simply because he gives the interviewees more opportunity to speak spontaneously. Don't be afraid to ask a question, get a short answer and then just be quiet and wait for the person you're interviewing to think for a while and then start elaborating more.

[@2K9s]

It’s nothing personal and I’m sure his heart is in the right place but he’s discussing some serious shit and should know a lot more about it. He painfully lacks basic knowledge and objective information about the subject matter which is factually ignorant and bordering fantasy.

If the dude truly had a problem with killing for Uncle Sam. He could have quit at any time. Before the first kill, or after the first kill. He wasn't in an active combat role as inside enemy territory, on the ground and taking enemy fire. No normal person likes taking another mans life. War is hell. But it was the job he enlist to do. He could have chosen any job out there. But he enlisted with the intent of getting a college education. He knew very well that he could be sent anywhere in the world to fight. His wounds are psychological Every combat soldier has psychological pain. Many come back in pieces. Lets not dishonor those who gave all.

I am writing this 2 mins into the video so not basing this on this dude. I agree with the second half of your comment. I have known dudes that where in around 2002-2010 that never made E5. I know for 88Ms points were really high for a long time. Even with maxed out pt, weapon, awards, deployments and mil school points without civilian ed made it harder to promote. So they ended up just ETSing. Dudes with multiple deployments. I know 88Ms are not combat arms but some 88Ms have been in more TICs then some combat arms dudes. Some 8 year E4s are badasses. Not many but some.

Former roommate of mine was an E-5 88M, and he was denied both a CAB and a Purple Heart for an IED strike. He was able to get his VA benefits based on the incident, and last I heard, he was trying to get awards through the VA. Mad respect for GWOT truck drivers.

[@MarcGyverIt]

Anytime you knowingly kill an innocent person just to get to the bad guy you're after, that's wrong. An accident is one thing, and there should be accountability for dropping bombs on a place and accidentally killing someone that shouldn't have been killed, but if they're doing it knowingly, that's murder, and they need to be stopped and held accountable. EVERYONE involved.

I'm a veteran of the United States Navy. I was in vaq 139 which is a electronic attack squadron. At that time the Navy had the EA 6B prowlers. In 2003 12 EA 6B prowlers cause the blackout that lasted two weeks in the Northeast.

[@frankguinan9927]

This guest is very empathetic, courageous, educated, and deep; as is most demonstrated at the very end of the video. That last piece that he read, I’m assuming he wrote himself, and it was very profound and truthful. He quotes from a plethora of various cultural and religious dogmas, showing clearly that he has done A LOT of reading and adopted truths from many ancient texts and viewpoints and put them all together for himself in a very personal and concise way. There’s a lot of information and poetry in what he said, and it’s put together in a vary interesting way that is the exact opposite of rambling or incoherence. There’s a very poetic and natural flow to it that was very moving to me. Personally, I often tend to ramble or jump around on tangents and whatnot, but this man has a gift for speaking truth and understanding, and it was very beautiful what he said at the very end. If you can’t find yourself willing or able to watch the entire video, skip to the very end and rewind bit by bit until you get to the beginning of this last part. It’s truly amazing!!! Kudos and best of luck to this man and his many struggles.

[@plunger110]

Serious question here; What's the difference in firing a missile from a drone and firing one from a conventional fighter jet? Other than the negated risk of a fighter jet pilot being in theater?

[@usafveteranandaproudlibera1658]

Point.

[@seantiz]

With a conventional missile or cruise missile, you can’t preview the target and you can’t call it off. Seems worse. If civilians wander into a kill zone after a conventional munition is fired, they get injured or die. I think the issue may be more about witnessing the destruction you just had a hand in, or being privy to hearing decisions be made about acceptable “collateral damage”, which I get.

[@-Zer0Dark-]

While I tend to agree, it's definitely a moral conundrum. Moreso, when we consider that taking out 13 (presumed) innocents to eliminate 2 high-value targets could potentially save thousands of innocent lives down the line. Mathematically it makes sense, but the moral question remains. No matter which way you slice it, war is an ugly business.

[@RByrne]

Not necessarily. People have families that may not be involved with, or have no idea what that target person was actually doing. As for the kids, I look at it like this; when I was a kid I absolutely loved my Dad. I wanted to be just like him. Do those kids want to be just like their terrorist fathers also? Do they even have a choice? Also how many kids might have died if they bombed a busy area? It's tough but those guys know the risks of being involved in that stuff, to them and also their families. I only hope they are certain the targets aren't just assumed to be terrorists.

[@superiorautodetailing]

@@WingedRyno honestly it doesn't surprise me. I was sympathetic at first and I do still emphasize with him. I think maybe his mind just couldn't handle the stress.... I have an Uncle who exhibits the exact same type of behavior so after listening for a while I realize that he's embellished a lot of the stories if not flat lied about them. Also that it comes to a point where all these wild things happen and it's the entire world around him trying to harm him, and to believe that he has no part in the blame or to believe his story is 100% legit would be a stretch!

[@sukaenacornelius9285]

I truly just don’t think he was meant to kill in any capacity, he has a different spirit than a warrior spirit. I know it would be horrible to see the death of someone innocent and being the cause of it, but I don’t think he had the attitude for it regardless, I can tell by his voice that he maybe wasn’t meant for the military. I am an Iraqi from Mosul, I fully support drone strikes, but I do not support releasing consent on a target that isn’t completely identifiable. I know of many Christian families who have died, families that had already be threatened or had family members skinned alive or sold into slavery, and yet they were killed because someone thought they were bad guys. I can see how someone who didn’t experience the chronic terrorism on the ground to have so much remorse, they didn’t have to hear the screams of young girls being dragged alive behind a truck, or witness gross and disgusting actions against women in front of their husbands and parents before they are killed. This is what happened every day in Mosul when IS took over. If a drone strike would have prevented innocent Christians and Shia Muslims being brutally tortured, enslaved and killed, I would honestly take the risk of my life from a drone strike if it meant that there would be more saved from such evil. Some of us would have rather died by that than ever have to deal with what would happen to us if we were captured by IS. I know people who never leave the walls of their house because of trauma of hearing and seeing what IS did. Its worse than death.

With that being said, to read your message speaks VOLUMES! I’ve been watching and following everything I can find on the war for almost 10 years because I couldn’t believe what our troops were getting thrown into and had to deal with, along with all the Muslim families that were just trying to cope with situations day in and day out, but your description really caught my attention! I don’t think people here understand what has really gone on on the ground over there! The Muslims that have had to bare the hideous actions day after day from IS and then try to live every day afterwards with those screams in their heads, the shame that fathers and husbands had to feel, the mothers AND kids dealing with the abuse…I could list plenty more but will digress from anymore details of the horrors…and to make the comment that some would rather have just died or they won’t leave the walls of their homes…it just speaks VOLUMES! I sure wish the powers of the world could have just quietly walked in and taken out all of those horrific people without any other person even knowing they were there! Like I said…I’ve been following it for a long time, but seeing your post from just 2 weeks ago kinda struck a nerve! May you, your family, and everyone you know find peace! Stay strong man! Just FYI…I in no way want to take anything away from any military veterans out there! I have seen footage and watched countless personal interviews of the horrors of war! My hats off to every single one of you! May you, your families, and everyone you know find peace! …Sorry for the long post…got carried away!

[@sukaenacornelius9285]

@@BtmOper22 I appreciate you very much, I also support military troops and veterans. My family happened to have been helped by veterans who worked with a Christian organization that included volunteer doctors and combat veterans from a church in Florida. They saved many christian and muslim families and helped build a refugee camp when Nato camps would deny or be too filled in Syria. They provides food, medical treatment security and transportation for us. That being said, I would have no remorse. One of my brothers friends girl friends were brutally murdered and they gave him a CD of it. She was mutilated with a wire brush and they took a metal bar and hit her on the head as hard as they could. Sending her into an immediate seizure and foaming from her mouth. She was extremely beautiful and nice. If I had anyone around me who even slightly supports such acts, I’d skin them alive with a wire brush myself. I wouldn’t even care if they were. I am also a Christian as Mosul had a huge Christian population which is why IS was so brutal against them, its in their stupid Hadiths and Qurans to wage jihad against non believers. I’m sure if the man in the video knew things like this, he wouldn’t feel as much remorse. If my husband took out the entire family of an IS member, I wouldn’t at all fault him. And I can totally understand how military members see and hear of such things and just go on a rampage. I understand. But if the savages of Is aren’t met with even worse treatment, they will not be phased. This is why I support Americans and Syrian governments torture programs, even if it wasn’t that affective, they deserved it, and people who think water boarding is inhumane treatment, they can kick rocks. Waterboarding is nothing, and I can’t stand people who think Americans trying to save people from terrorist should be sent to jail for waterboarding or of the other torture techniques that were used. Because all of it is nothing compared to what happens to innocent people who don’t deserve it at all.

First of all, this is one of my favorite podcasts, for many reasons, but especially because of people like, Brandon Bryant, a real, true American hero in my eyes, for speaking his experiences, exposing the Truth, much Respect... Having said that, The tendency of pretending that any war is a defensive one shows two things. First of all is that the majority of people, at least in civilized countries, cannot be made to kill or be made to die unless they are first convinced that they are doing so in order to defend their lives and freedom; second, it shows that it is not difficult to persuade millions of people that they are in danger of being attacked, and hence, that they are called upon to defend themselves. Such persuasion depends most of all on a lack of independent thinking and feeling, and on emotional dependence of the vast majority of people or their political and or religious leaders. The middle east seems to be a Thunder-dome where people/children go and fight and DIE, For What? The whims of corrupt politicians and their political agenda? College tuition? What? And don't tell me, "Our Freedoms" or "Fight against terrorism" I mean, "How can you have a war on terrorism, when war itself is terrorism?" And try and understand that criticizing or detouring those people who sign up or would sign up, to die, to Serve the whims of those corrupt politicians, is Not an insult to those who have died, in which I Respect with the utmost, but serves as a Warning to the Living, Not to Blindly obey corrupt politicians. I feel that the Best way we can honor our fallen soldiers, is to STOP creating so Many of them... The military and the machine of war it produces and forces upon the world is Disgustingly Evil, and it has gotten away with so much because of Patriotism of the American Empire... That's what the Rich evoke and call to when it's time for the poor to bear the burden and Die for profits. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Your government is corrupt, governments are Not for the people, Police do Not protect you, School does Not to educate you, Your banks are holding you as collateral, Your military is used to terrorize the world, did you know that the US defense spending is some $700 Billion dollars, which is more than the next 12 nations combined? We live in a country that creates it's own $, yet still can't afford to feed the homeless or fund medical or Education...🤔🤨 Your media keeps you distracted with mindless celebrity bullshit, your wars are about resources and financial control, you have more in common with the people you're bombing than the Billionaire's that are ruling you... Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Privately Owned Banks (Federal Reserve, is No more Federal than Federal express) loan fiat $, The entire structure of civilization in the western world is a combination of Brilliantly Conceived and Well-Planned Schemes to direct the minds of the people to serve their perceived overlords.

Just for the record, this dude sitting on his high horse now is one thing, but squawkin about those 4 blackwater operators were set up, screwed over, and wrongfully convicted to serve as sacrificial lambs somebody required for some unrelated b.s. those guys did not do what they were accused of and the entire trial wash a sham. Everybody loves to just regurgitate the hateful crap they hear regarding the subject without knowing a damn thing about the situation. How did I know Danny was going to be clueless and not know who Lt Col Grossman is when the guest asked if he had read his books....?

It takes guts to do what you did. You are a hero. Make a KZbin channel and start posting videos detailing the death threats you get, as well as the harassment you are experiencing. Be as public as possible with everything.

[@WingedRyno]

Hardly. There is KZbin video out there of Bryant making death threats. It led to his arrest and an upcoming felony jury trial in fact.

[@mikehengstebeck2647]

Danny great content. Thank you.

[@NobodysGh0sT]

I really feel for this guy. He's had such conflict in his life for so long but I can see that his PTSD and the fact that it seems he's a "Targeted Individual" which many believe is a conspiracy theory but I think for him it's true. He knows and has pulled the trigger on many a "Bad Guy" as a drone operator - he's studied scripture his whole life and his grandfather sounded like one hell of a guy. I think him and Duncan Trussel would make a good podcast together as Duncan is super into the Bhagavad Gita and Buddhism as a whole. Great podcast and I truly hope that this man can find peace in his struggle.

[@WingedRyno]

The issue is that Duncan Trussel is a valuable guy with an honest perspective, and Brandon Bryant is a straight up fraud. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnW4anyZrsR4b9k

[@Chimnaay]

I can confirm it isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s sad, but many Americans just like me, are targeted and victims of this program.

Strange how they forget to talk about all the terrorist attacks...

[@andrewcox1677]

Brandon has travelled a difficult path. I hope he finds the destination he seeks.

[@WingedRyno]

He's also a serial liar. He is an absolute fraud and while most media sources (other than Russia Times) have kicked him to the curb because he's so provably a fraud, every once in awhile somebody doesn't do their research before getting him to do an interview. Check out the free KZbin video "Brandon Bryant the Documentary: Drones and Deceptions" to see what an utter fraud this guy is.

[@deuscoromat742]

This guy is speaking from Pure personal ideology. Anyone who's actually familiar with the black water case knows that it is way too complex to sum up in a few sentences. They were fighting embedded insurgents in the Iraqi police and the state department purposefully edited out Drone footage to get a guilty verdict for diplomatic reasons.

He did join the military on his own. And then became a whistleblower because he didn’t want to do it.🙄

[@ChrisKlein0]

The only difference between a drone and a fast jet is the drone operator is thousands of miles away from danger. Fighter pilots and Apache pilots were operating over the desert and dropping bombs and getting the blokes out of the shit on a daily basis. I don’t agree with bombing a wedding party to take out one person, but let’s not pretend that anything is new here. He’s right what he says though about the guys that don’t have the physical ability to go out on the ground and face the enemy face to face doing this job. It’s naturally these kind of people that will struggle with the killing involved. I hope he finds peace.

[@Arykperry]

He needs to lay off the conspiracy theory’s a bit, it makes him sound like he’s got a problem. I completely believe him but many won’t , and it’s easy to dismiss his claims with this extra stuff.
