U.S. Army Sniper, Googan Squad & Lunkers TV - Robert Terkla | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 104

[@Weeks25]

Rob sent me here from his speak the truth channel. So glad I came to watch it. Was waiting to hear his full story an he didn’t disappoint! Thank you Mike for having our boy Rob on.

[@Jaycren86]

Rob sent me here from his channel. But I listened to this channel because of GBRS GUYS.

Been waiting for Rob to do an actual podcast appearance, great to see him on here with Mike, would love to see him talk to Shawn Ryan as well. Rob has always been such a great storyteller I’m sure this will be great. Much respect and appreciation to everyone involved in making this happen.

agreed 💯!!

Rob also did a Podcast With Black Rifle Coffee

[@cliff4695]

[@ThePete2432]

We as veterans need to stick together and take this country back. I always appreciate mike putting things into perspective… I’ve know way too many friends who either came back in transfer cases or killed themselves after serving. We all signed up for it

[@paddler-sn7ub]

Bravo 👏 Mike, pretty deep discussion 👍🏽, I can say without a shadow of doubt that my life was made possible due to the sacrifices the U.S. military made in taking back Guam 🇬🇺. My grandmother watched her parents be killed and forced to march @6 years old. My grandfather (Ret. Chief Petty officer) shared the same trauma. Their 3 kids devoted their lives to law enforcement, My siblings hold degrees in law enforcement and I recently separated as a cop from service. We are a humble Pacific Island family. To everyone serving or served in the U.S. military reading this, A sincere Thank you 🙏 . Keep paddling 🤙🏽

The thing about Mike's , he knows when to ask, when to pause, what to ask to keep his audience interested .This guy Rob , I have not heard of him, however great to listen to....this is another good one.

[@kaiserofkush]

Rob has been covering the RU/UKR war since febuary nearly daily over on his channel Speak The Truth. It's great work. He's got another channel which is new and is going to be documentary focused. He's a real one!

[@Weeks25]

You gotta check his speak the truth channel out. He does the best coverage of the Ukraine war right now.

[@KC-7mm]

I gained a lot more respect for Rob on this podcast it was good to hear him sit down and tell his story. I got the wrong impression of him over previous videos he seams like a solid dude.

It’s nice to see the serious side of him for once

Finally Rob, fucking had to choke myself. Damn

[@people4pewpew670]

No. All stories.

[@DowntownDeuce2]

Exactly!

[@Waniac]

Mike said it all! Our country needs a leader that fought for this country and is a true leader. Not a POLITICIAN like we see all the time on TV. There is A LOT better people qualified to lead this country than a lot of those in places of power. 💯

[@cliff4695]

Wrong, this country needs a strong minded business man. Soldiers are way too fast act to aggression

@@cliff4695 ok. You see how well business Biden has gone huh? You like corporate America BS apparently! Businessman my ass! We need a real fucking leader! Not a fucking realtor or business man or politician.

[@cliff4695]

@@Waniac let me guess, knuckle dragger? My point has been proven

[@MegadethTillDeth]

@@Waniac The whole point of the President being in charge of the military is that he is supposed to be separate from the machinations and more representative of the people. That hasn't exactly been working out for us with Obama and Biden. DeSantis seems to be one of the few people capable of doing both these roles though. Believe he was supporting the SEAL's in Fallujah

[@Waniac]

@@MegadethTillDeth I don't disagree on Desantis but have no idea what separate from machinations means. 🤣

Thanks for having him on Mike! I found Lunkers a long time ago back when he did reaction videos to combat footage. Cool guy!

[@brandonskidmore2741]

Robert is one of the coolest guys I think I've ever met he helped me get my life in control and stop drinking and just stay busy working that way I'm not worried about drinking or doing any bad stuff thank you Robert for everything you done in my life and I'm always watching all your channels especially with you buying the stores lockers that is the awesome channel keep up the good work keep pumping the content out Robert

[@thewildrudster8470]

Took me 3 afternoons to really finish this podcast and it was definitely worth every minute! So badass and educational!

[@MrCashewkitty]

Congrats to this dude on all his success! Hearing guys talk about huge firefights where they killed 15 or 20 enemy should really put into perspective sheer insanity of previous wars where 1000s fought and died on truly massive battlefields and front lines.

[@Mark-uh4zd]

Combat must have been insane back before firearms and cannons were the main weapons. Charging into battle with swords and spears, horseback, bows and arrows. Hell, even the revolutionary war where they marched into a field 100 feet from each other and fired volleys. That had to be nuts being in the front line when it was the enemy’s turn to fire their volley. War is crazy

[@garysides636]

I've literally sat here and was glued to this podcast. Roberts' honesty and candid recollections had me feeling anxious with the detail. Can I thank you both for a great podcast 🙏🙏 , Be safe G🦉

[@KyleNelson279]

I remember his military Mondays youtube videos from long ago. Nice to hear more of his story

[@jakerichards1205]

Dude this is awesome I watch rob all the time!

[@Timman57]

Im glad I started watching this, I felt like I watched before but not till the end. I recently noticed every time I get laid-off or go awhile without work, if I sit around the house ill be bored and drink. Makes me feel less guilty about being a lazy piece of crap. I'm back to working again after 8 months of HARD drinking with the ol wild turkey 101, took out my savings but back to work, not drinking, already lost 12 pounds without dieting, just cut drinking. Thanks you guys for the affirmation.

[@nicknormando4220]

Yep heaviest I ever got was from drinking. Cut that shit out and got back to my normal weight

[@ronthompson2366]

I came across this by happen stance. I was glued to every word of it. I am a former Marine and combat veteran. So many parallels between my experiences, friends of mine and those discussed here. I literally didn't want it to end. I fully understand that Rob drinks very little if at all but I poured a drink and it just felt like I was back. I was almost trying to join in with the conversation. I realize to some.... that might seem strange. But I was suddenly back in my head in my world. I got nothing else and thank you sounds stupid. But thank you for taking me back and giving me some time. Two years ago I lost my best friend. We spent nearly our whole time in the Corps together. His kids called me Uncle and mine the same to him... I was at his funeral and helping his kids with everything... I haven't felt so at home and missed someone so much. But sitting around at night and remembering.... until I watched this. You filled a void and I don't know either of you.

[@mtbadger1346]

That was one of the most REAL & raw interviews I've watched. Kudos to you both, and a sincere thank you.

[@upperroomtoo]

Rob talking about that .50 cal SLAP round. He was feelin it.

[@hermansims2296]

From an older Army Infantryman, from way back when, who is grateful every day that he never had to do his job: There is a gap between us that I cannot bridge, but with a brother in both Gulf Wars, another brother in Vietnam, dad WWII, grandfather WWI and Army, nieces and nephews in both Iraq and Afghanistan, I have seen some things I've never seen before and it breaks my heart. I saw what my brother's return to civilian life was like, he was spit on. And the rate at which my brothers and sisters are killing themselves returning from that shit desert hurts it is so high. Just you talking and sharing helps. Now that I rely on the VA for my disabilities I hope they are doing the right thing by you. I mean the young warriors your age and a little younger that did this for us. You are loved and not forgotten of course. Keep up the good work showing others that they are not alone.

[@tomaskovarik7966]

What a great gesture of Mike to display it and keep it safe, I’d love to see that in person. Hell of a job fellas. Robs laugh at the end when Mike said “if you didn’t enjoy it, fucking choke yourself” was priceless and a great way to end the podcast!!
