This intro is simply outstanding. I just want to say as a Marine pog0 my "sf" friends always gave us mad respect for our Marine Corps operational tempo supporting the division etc. Getting trigger time as a transportation marine was crazy. Especially when guys in Coronado Island are intently listening to my story in late 2004, over some beers post "cheetahs" Whoah. They're like man that's crazy. I appreciate the admiration and professionalism from tier 1's and elite warriors. Super humbling. I met Chris Kyle in Dallas just before I went away to "grown up timeout" again another exemplary leader who treated me with the upmost respect and dignity. I will aways be biased and feel that Marines in combat are killers. I watched the division in 2003 from Nasiriyah to Tikrit, 2004 Ramadi/Fallujah, 2005 Syrian boarder, Haditha dam. Hard chargers!

A great friend of mine was MARSOC and suggested this episode to me. Hearing all of this seems insane that I know personally one of the dudes who got it on against the enemy to such a degree. From a young Scout who never got the chance to deploy, thank you both and your peers for all you did over there. I wish I could've had my chance, but I've accepted that I need to move on. Amazing episode gents. Keeping moving forward. Recon.

My dad was a Vietnam combat veteran And after some decades finally talked a little bit about his experience. He was part of a strike unit with the Big Red 1, and before that had done some training in Alaska where he met my mom, an Inupiat native. There was the ptsd which maybe didn’t have such a terminology back then when I was a kid, his mentioning of being called certain things coming back stateside, they were even shot at on a train returning, etc.. Ptsd like me going to wake him up for dinner and him jumping up ready to fight, him in a moment of anger when I was a kid saying he’d killed more people than I’ve seen. Ptsd affects generations I think. Thanks to him and thanks to this channel for your service and for dealing with what it really means.

Had 14 months off the bottle 3 months back now 5 months off, not turning back. Alcohol does NOT help. Im lucky to have had a few people pipe up later about it, I spent alot of time alone in that bottle too, i did learn alot of what not to do.

I have never been in the military, yet grew up in a military family who served in the second world war, and in Aden in 68. I really admire your guests who in my opinion, have been terribly treated by their own politician's and services.. Great interview, and an in depth look in to the real stories of those who defend the real higher ground and protect not only our countries, but lives of complete strangers.

Lots of stories and memories are being lost to time. He was in for 27 years. Take care ma’am.
