I can’t get enough of these podcasts literally! Makes me think of the past deployments but also helps heal from the pain too. I love this Shawn and I’m starting to pay for Patron come Jan! I literally talk to my therapist about your interviews just for the fact there is things I didn’t have the balls to say or couldn’t just say it right that your guests have said it perfectly. Your a big influence on my life and I honest can say you have made me a better Man, Father, Son, and Friend because of your ability to have that deep conversation with people that others can’t do because your a veteran yourself. I love your content man and I pray for you and your family every day! ❤

[@tonyfknb3896]

I remember when your channel Vigilance Elite started, and would do story times and other tips, minor skits and the 1st interview i remember was around to bonfire with Robert, Latrell, you, Rutt, and the active no name, talking buds and Red Wings, and i was hooked, and just was like man this channel needs recognition. Finally a channel breaking down deployments, missions, in detail, asking great questions, not interrupting and so happy you blew up and getting great numbers. Well deserved!

[@777xino]

If you were to ask them, they would probably say something like “relentless repetition.” All armies know that the more you practice drills, the more you function automatically, without having to reflect and think about what to do which takes time. Time is a luxury you may not have in a live or die situation. However, what makes a guy seek out dangerous activities or professions and why are some people more courageous or less fearful than others? I think it has to do with their brain configuration. In other words, their biology. For example, we know there is a difference between the brain of a psychopath and that of the average guy. A psychopath is not stimulated by ‘normal’ experiences and they seek and need to create extreme situations in order to feel stimulated. They neither feel fear nor empathy in the same way we do. I am not saying special forces guys are psychopaths. I am suggesting that their tolerance for extremely stressful situations is much higher than the average Joe’s. Also, they seem to be drawn to danger in the same way an extreme sportsmen is. A study was made on Spanish matadors. They scanned their brains and compared them to an average brain. They found that they either lacked a certain chemical or a part of their brain was much smaller than average (can’t remember which). This meant their fear threshold was much greater than average and could stand quite calmly in front of a charging bull without flinching.

My Grandfather (mom’s Dad) took 4 rounds from a machine gun to the face in Northern Italy and kept fighting. Only 3 from his platoon made it. They picked up weapons from fallen enemies & comrades to fight out of their situation. Due to material priorities for porcelain, they initially rebuilt his upper jaw with gold. A dentist in the states liberated it from him when they rebuilt it again. The picture of the 3 survivors has him with the bandage across lower face.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jason Redman a couple of times, and bought his book for my Dad. He shared his story with us at this event, and I was volunteering photographing the event (a fundraiser honoring veterans) and Redman looked at me and joked “I hope you get lots of photos of me, this face cost 2 million bucks, and it’s super sexy”, LOL. He was so freakin cool I’ll never forget it.

[@angusdog22]

I gotta say ….. For getting his face blown off the doctors did a damn good job patching him up. That’s 2 million bucks well spent .

He knew how to put ppl at ease too, which I was impressed by. Ppl get nervous, not knowing where to look, not wanting to stare or whatever, and not knowing what to say, but he dispels it so easily.

​@@KH-rt3ef Precisely. They're trained in the key words/key sentences that they're taught WILL save their lives, so when they need their lives and the lives of others saved its just basically a mantra. I'd guess, particularly at the end of a deployment with nightly missions like a SEAL Assault Team, that a audio playbacks of missions would almost sound like a broken record and that's exactly how it's designed so when the words are muddled by everyone is yelling/screaming those key words are still defined and clear to one's capable of listening.
