[@ibbylancaster8981]

Living in Fayetteville NC , next to Ft Bragg, I have the opportunity to be friends with these some of these Great American Heroes. They don’t consider themselves that, but they are. They’re not glory hounds. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice for our country.

[@josephsmithmeyer1195]

Man this is the fastest hour of my life I could listen to these guys talk for days I've always been fascinated with war and our our military my dad served in Vietnam both my grandpa's and World War II my both great grandpa's and World War 1 unfortunately I was born a bad asthma and I could never complete training but I respect our soldiers so much and it's really amazing on what sixty of our men could do against a thousand other men it's amazing

[@smax4895]

This is a great interview of real Heroes and real stories. Audio was good, I wish the camera work was better, meaning a few close up shots of the person as they talk. I love that u guys have a sense of humor and show your humility. Thanks for your service good Men and your partners throughout the community. Your sacrifice, work and committment is highly appreciated. Much love and respect.

Being from Indy you best believe I'm gonna get a couple of bottles and give my money to these guys.. currently being in Afghanistan and getting to see what goes on behind the scenes is humbling.. hats off to these warriors!

[@jean-rochdion4898]

That was a sweet one! Love it! I had a couples of smiles with the horse moment, the training explannation that remind me my selection and the little discret slide for ... we the north! Oh still one of the best experience was that exercice in 1997 Mississipi, we where playing a french guerilla and the green berets where suppose to train us in varius tactics/weapons and practice french for G.B.! What a great time there! 2R22R je me souviens!👊

[@clashman7950]

Hey Pat Mac crew, could y'all interview the hero's from Benghazi 13hours? 6 American former Special forces Who saved all those American lives while battling for 13hours on they're own vs hundreds of enemies in Libya! It's a miracle any one even walked away from there alive. A few great men were KIA protecting American lives! This was an amazing interview, listen, & thank you, very much appreciated it all!

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Most of those guys were not special forces, but were from various other special operations units....SEALS, Marsoc, etc.

[@rynolemons8662]

I related so much when he said he didn’t want anybody there when he got home. When I came home from Afghanistan I only told a couple very close people and they brought literally my entire family and friends to the airport to try and surprise me. It upset me so much and was honestly embarrassing. Ruined everything I was waiting for the entire deployment.

Jacob sprigg well they do more than the seals do because seals are more direct action like if you want to take the big names that’s who u wanna call get in get out but if you want to win a war use green berets and plus green berets and seals have a family like rivalry in way idk how to explain it

These two are so underrated compared to the Seals that killed Osama Bin Laden. What these two did was wayyyy more ballsy imo. For people that don’t know much about US special forces 11:05, he was a great job trying to describe it. Amazing interview. 12 strong > Zero dark thirty.

[@TheActiveAssault]

It's not really something to compare. Green Berets are generally older and more mature because their primary mission isnt direct action. They're clearly the tip of the spear

[@GreyFlash805]

[@mattbrown5921]

The things they did are what gods are made of. I want to see a movie of them just taking out Generals and Lieutenants

[@MarkWalmsley]

Maybe someone can help me with some questions. So I have been watching a lot of Afghanistan war documentaries and up until the pull out the armies of ever major nation were there from what I can gather. The way these guys talk about it is like they went there for three months, a month after 9/11 and within three months they had ousted the Taliban and everything was fine except from needing to keep some guys there for a bit to over see things. From the videos I have seen, going into villages in places like the korengal valley, the tribes would essentially be the same guys who were shooting you when you left. The distinction between regular people and taliban was blurred. Was there a point between when these guys left where things were ok but then as time went on things got worse? Did these tribes who fought together suddenly disband and fight for the taliban/insurgents? It also seems there were other factions like ones who worked for drug trafficers who were fighting more like a mafia to keep their business going. Maybe because Afghanistan is such a large place, where these guys worked was in a different area which kept the peace? I would be interested to understand how this all works as it is fascinating.

TroutFink, I meant the SEAL in this video. That said, SEALs were very much involved in Afghanistan. In fact once OIF started, DEVGRU became the main SMU in Afghanistan. CAG was the the main SMU in Iraq from the get go. There were still troops from each units in both countries.

[@ajgambs44]

@@6.8SuperDutyDriver well said. 6 sent members over to Iraq when delta was taking alot of casualties and they were seamlessly folded in to each other. Check out the book relentless strike or modern American snipers for great stuff on the jsoc elements (delta/ seal team 6/rangers) For SF specific material, horse soldiers, masters of chaos, Robert's ridge, and more. Also KIll Bin Laden abd the mission the men and me. Excellent books out there. So much to learn. If anyone wants more suggestions msg me and I have hundreds of source materials to check out.

[@arttrumbo9496]

Well, he wasn't involved in the invasion of Afghanistan, which is what the show was about.

[@6.8SuperDutyDriver]

Art Trumbo, the show is to promote their Horse Soldier Bourbon. Their story is part of the promotion. Also, regular SEALs were part of TF K-Bar which was formed in early/mid Oct. 2001, days after SF was in country. DEVGRU was part of TF 11/Sword in that same time frame.

52:00 , what a stupid thing to say. Not many people go through hardships in their life and have never faced adversity? Just out right wrong. I see where he’s going with the new Gen being soft but are you kidding? That’s the average person, to be a seal, beret or even serve in the armed forces it takes a unique individual who’s able to put themselves at risk for a cause far beyond sight and they will always be found or volunteer. Very very ignorant thing to say. Thank you for your service though.

[@notanonymous3976]

it kinda makes sense from his perspective. like in my case the only "hardships" ive had were family problems, heartbreak, studies, fitness, loneliness, insecurity, a few friends and family deaths. in comparison to what they have to go through on a daily basis couldn't compare to my problems in like a year. My life and that of the people around me aren't being constantly threatened. i havent had to sacrifice or put my life on the line for anyone else. Thus when respect is due for someone who deserves it, I am unable to fully comprehend their struggles. I don't think that my life is too different from most people's who have access to Internet, housing and food daily. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying people don't have struggles, but what I am saying is that in comparison to what these guy's had, it's as if most people didn't know what actual struggle is.

[@invictusbp1prop143]

I think it’s totally possible to disagree or have a different perspective without accusing someone of being ignorant. Everyone’s experience is different, making their views different. Thus his experience has led him to the conclusion that he stated, based on the people he has encountered in life, his impression is that many do not face real real hardship. If you’ve come to see it differently because your life experience is different than his, does that make you correct and him wrong? Damn sure would say it makes either of you stupid, but if I had to guess which if the two were stupid, it probably wouldn’t be him. I’d venture a wager that he wouldn’t call you stupid for having a different experience and impression of the portion of the general public you’ve been exposed to. And I’m sure that man could be called many things accurately, but stupid is probably not often something he qualifies as in connection to anything he puts himself out there to state an opinion on.
