Scott Neil and Mark Nutsch: Horse Soldiers - Danger Close with Jack Carr

On today’s episode, Jack is joined by veterans and entrepreneurs, Scott Neil and Mark Nutsch.
Mark Nutsch served in the Army as a Special Forces officer. Scott Neil is a retired Green Beret Master Sergeant. Following the attacks of 9/11, they deployed to Afghanistan where their mission led them to traverse the rugged terrain by horseback. Their story was immortalized in the film 12 Strong.
Scott and Mark are also two of the co-founders of American Freedom Distillery, the makers of award-winning Horse Soldier Bourbon.
Following a storied career in Special Forces, Scott Neil went on to work with the Green Beret Foundation, developing and launching a transition and resiliency program for veterans called The Next Ridgeline. Scott continues to champion for veterans via senior advisory positions with the
Veterans Affairs Committees and the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. Mark is the author of the new book, Swords of Lightning: Green Beret Horse Soldiers and America’s Response to 9/11.

I can't understand why there aren't more people watching these interviews. Great podcast. Appreciate the work you're putting out there, Jack.

[@swimminintherain341]

This is one of many interviews that our great-great grandchildren will watch way more than the present generation. Imagine if you could hear and see three veterans of the wilderness campaign, Vicksburg, or Antietam chatting. Our great-great will be able to experience these gentlemens’ first hand accounts 100 years from now; providing we can control access to the truth in the coming years. God bless these men, and God bless the United Sates of America 🇺🇸. Not over yet.

[@AlexdeCerqueira]

Awesome interview. Our warrior heroes are going to save our asses again. This time, creating jobs and great products to move our economy from within. America is the greatest country. I live in South America, but I am still an American.

[@MrCashewkitty]

Man, the history that these guys created. Massive respect!

[@internet_internet]

“Live the American dream that you’ve been defending.”

[@miked.5089]

These 2 guys are heroes and American Icons.Definitely one for the history books!

[@brianbrusa7462]

Wow. Awesome conversation. These guys and their teammates are phenomenal. Many thanks for your service and what you all have done!

[@BobiJanKausang666]

12 strong & mark nutsch were the best soldiers forever and ever in USA ❗ bravo green baret 👍🏿👍🏿💪.....

[@tlotus3032]

Swords of Lightning just purchased on audible. Excited to hear the more legit version, very compelling so far. thanks!

[@markwanner6213]

Excellent interview! Mark and Scott congrats on the Horse Solider Bourbon and thank you for sharing your stories. Jack, another great video!

[@MFH1399]

As a hiring manager I can't tell you how valuable it is to my crew to hire a vet. As a general rule are always seeking more knowledge, in readable work ethic and respect for their crews. Thank you!

[@zach_hewitt]

I stumbled across this interview when I was doing some searching on Horse Soldier whiskey. Some of the guys are doing a bottle signing today at my local liquor store. Honestly didn't know Carr had a youtube channel, now I'm subscribed. That 2 hours and 20 minutes flew by. I could listen to these conversations all day, even though I have very little clue about all the acronyms as I never served. Utmost respect for all 3 of you, and everyone else who protects my freedoms.

[@True2282]

GOD BLESS YOU GUYS 🇺🇸🙏🏼❤

[@egres234]

Thanks for bringing this one Jack.....amazing story! Never Forget!

[@AKsusan907]

Absolutely incredible interview! Thank you gentleman! So many thought…speechless. So much respect for your insight, wisdom & perspective. Godspeed 🇺🇸💯

[@nancystoppel9644]

Washington, Kansas hometown of Mark Nutsch is building a monument to honor Mark and the horse soldiers. It should be dedicated in the fall. It will also have a piece of the Workd Trade Center I clouded.

[@nitinloharekar306]

No

[@czjunky2045]

Great show 👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you for your hard work

[@whiskeybook]

Copy cat, I just did a video on the Horse Soldiers and their bourbon. Lol, so good to see someone with an actual following talking about this bourbon story. Some bourbons fall way short of the story, this one does not. The bourbon is at the top of my list, the story is pure American heroism and entrepreneurship, and I love it all. Keep it up, and send some viewers my way....lol again. Love your videos, your books, and the community.

[@Redacted_Actual_]

I've got a signed bottle of Horse Soldier by a couple of guys from the ODA's!

[@Ashton_Speaks]

Got one for my dad Absolute icons, legends, and american heros

[@robertfrank9228]

Thank you.

[@deedubs602]

Massive respect to these 2 gentlemen. What a great podcast!

[@GreenFields-7777]

Great episode! Good seeing Mark and Scotty doing well.

[@baso0311]

They made a great bourbon. My favorite is their small batch

[@PlumbingArkansas]

I live in Northeast Arkansas. My wife has family in Somerset KY. We visited there and I saw a sign for their whiskey. I think maybe a warehouse or store or something. I wondered if it was their gig and nerded out to my wife about those guys. I’m going to keep an eye out when we visit again lol. It would be awesome to run in to one of those guys.

[@mikelee7876]

Just watched 12 strong

[@tjinnertube]

Just…Dang. Thank you. ❤️🇺🇸

[@jimhartzell5092]

5th group, where's Randy Rawhide....Doing a great job Jack...

[@wildbill60]

Great show

[@davidbrownell5441]

Awesome interview and stories..... Thank you Jack...

[@justsomeguyontheinternet5331]

Definitely not dog-faced pony soldiers. these guys are certified badasses

[@anthonymoreno2861]

My uncle's cousin has a statue near Normandy he jumped on Normandy

[@lynnmarine5529]

I’d LOVE to know what the tribesmen said about this battle!

[@josephsmith3908]

I bought one of your fiction books very entertaining

[@lindacunningham9343]

Why do I think when these gentlemen were done in Afghanistan we should have left it alone?

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Because you'd be right.

[@mavriknelson108]

Not really after 9/11 but shouldn't of been there in the first place Iraqi freedom. It's all over gas and oil...

[@redi2rideredi2ride]

What cigars go best with your Bourbon?

[@josephsmith3908]

Jack im wondering if you have any response to the accounts in the book code over conduct

[@terrythoma6658]

wow

[@juniormendoza657]

Another bourbon I'm putting on my list

[@Patrick_Bateman____]

Somewhat unrelated but I’m reading “Savage Son” and did they really redact “Development Group”, “SEAL Delivery Vehicle”, “Joint Special Operations Command”, “Combat Application Group” and “Delta”? Yet they didn’t redact “The Unit”?! I’m in disbelief they redacted that open source info yet they didn’t redact James Reece’s insane ghost pepper torture methods. Way to go DOD 🤣👍🏼

[@Ashton_Speaks]

A bunch of other authors including Jack carr have mentioned how they've had massive amounts of open source info redacted from their books. Absolute lunacy. Almost like its just thrown to a random under qualified officer to redact a whole book with literally no oversight.

[@Patrick_Bateman____]

@@Ashton_Speaks I still can’t believe the torture methods in the third book weren’t redacted. That is some gnarly s*** I could never have thought of. Most likely not open source. But nooo they have to redact “CAG” hahaha

[@dpdog1]

Waiting with baited breath for your 6th book Jack!! Read all five in less than two weeks! Any info on #6???

[@daveboon5992]

Well the French would !! Wouldn’t they !! Americas oldest Allie !!! Just don’t depend on them fighting with you !!!
