Shawn/Production Team - they are all EPIC, but if you guys somehow manage to get MSgt. Kevin Holland on, he would be able to provide direct insight as to the hit on the farm. Combining all three would make for a truly SPECTACULAR story. Sadly, as the only publicly know warfighter to be part of Dev and CAG, he has done VERY few interviews. I think an interview with Shawn would make for an amazing episode that could impact lives on both the civilian and service sides.

I spent 8 years in the 82nd 1st/504th and 3 years with Triple Canopy. I remember being an E nothing on my 1st OIF deployment (first deployment ever actually) and the Delta Ninjas came through our FOB to stage for a mission we obviously weren’t aware of, but I’m fairly certain it was this. Every single one of those shooters walked and talked in a manner that I can’t quantity in words, but even as a young kid who knew very little about Special Forces at that point I knew these were dangerous men; the apex predators if you will.

Iraq turned out alot better than Afghanistan. It actually has a functional gov now.

[@klk1900]

So if you know the truth about the 1991 gulf war then you will understand why the former Bush 41 staffers were hell bent on “Saddam had something to do with 9/11”. Several reporters were black balled for covering the truth on 1991. It turns out we “gifted” Saddam oil wells or we had Kuwait gift him oil. Then saddam sent oil workers in to see what they gave him. We announced “SADDAM INVADES KUWAIT” so Saddam sends his military in to get his oil workers out. Basically so he could save face with the Iraqi people. I think he feared the Iraqis would turn on him if he just left them. -- so 9/11 happens and those former staffers responsible for that operation. Saddam is the only guy they can think of that would want revenge that bad. It turns out 1946-2000 we overthrew 83-100 governments covert/overtly. So any logical person will understand, we had atleast 83 enemies in the world! --- then in 2011-2014 the cia funds or trains terrorist to basically go overthrow Syria, the idea was make Syria have no choice but to invite us military in to fight “this enemy”. All so we could get control of the NE oil fields. -- remember originally we tried the same thing we did with saddam. The cia paid the Kurds to go overthrow Iraqi government right after the gulf war ended. And saddam gassed them to put down the uprising. Fast forward we try to overthrow Syria via a group and Assad gassed them. Remember Obama was trying to go to war over the gas attacks. but Americans spoiled his plan and refused to support his operation. We also did this is Nicaragua. The cia created Terrorist group A to destabilize. Then they create group B “The Freedom Fighters” to go eradicate Group A, it turns out they created both. A cia whistle blower came out and told the truth.

[@glamour3296]

I was in one of the units that was sealing off chemical weapon facilities in Iraq. We buried them in concrete.

[@DingDong-gn7hj]

Yeah the Iraq war was a crime. The whole reason this war was started was because Iraq supposedly (a lie) had Weapons of Mass Destruction. The weapons were never found after the fact. Millions of innocent people died and so did many American soldiers for nothing. America was never in any threat or risk. Very sad. BS war. And George Bush never was charged with any crime or anything.

I had been in 1/8th INF. BN., 4th ID, during the majority of my first enlisted. I had actually deployed to Iraq, in '03, from Germany, though. Watching this was very moving for me.

Was he referring to president Bush's Secret Service member?

[@JamesDevere-z8p]

I was on one of the "tanks" outside the house at BIAP,only they were Bradley Fighting Vehicles,not tanks. We guarded that house for the first six weeks that Saddam was in captivity. Saddam had cardiac issues and we had to have a QRF ready to go at a moments notice to take him to the MASH unit down the street. I sat on the road to BIAP guarding the entrance for most of that Thanksgiving. We had a Thermite Thanksgiving in our little chow hall while all the Pogue's got to eat with W.

The USA made a colossal mistake. George W. Bush was nearly as bad a POTUS as Joe Biden is currently, and that is saying something. Why not do an episode Shawn trying to explain to us all where the WMDs were/or if they even existed. You lost many good and brave soldiers in Iraq and have George W. Bush to thank for those terrible losses I grieve for all those brave warriors.

In Afghanistan we would come across SF guys, and Delta guys. They walked different. Even if they had the same gear (they didn’t) you’d still be able to tell they were different. Civilians just aren’t aware, for the most part, the different levels to this. I’m a puppy. They are wolves.

[@gingeroo5765]

Would Delta walk differently from other SF or did u mean just from reg troops?

[@lancesmith6864]

@@gingeroo5765 yes to both. They both had a distinctive look and way about them. A silent confidence. You just knew you weren’t like them. Both groups. To be fair, I never knowingly encountered other branches’ tier 1 guys. I’d imagine it’s the same deal.

@@lancesmith6864 well, i think i get what you mean. i grew up around and married , worked and lived my whole life around military.. not to mention all (and i do mean ALL ) the males in our fam tree/history served so, i can spot a prior military man (and even sometimes a woman) in literally seconds- no matter how old or how distant or how long their hair has grown… it’s just something about them - a way in which they carry themselves or a look of some sort that calls them out. Perhaps it’s similar to what you’ve experienced with the SF which is kind of hard to explain or put a finger directly on, especially when trying to describe it to someone who is foreign to the concept, but I just know you must know what i mean.

Wolves are made from a pack of puppies bro, you’re a wolf, you just don’t know it.

[@gingeroo5765]

I bet you’ve been an awsome asset to the force as well and i want you to know that i am a civilian that has appreciated the hell out of people like you since i first encountered your kind at 6 years old. I cannot over emphasize how MUCH I admire you and thank you for every single way you have given of yourself for the sake of us all. I wish i could meet you to shake your hand but this virtual hug and thank-you will just have to do. 🤗 Thanks a million! Julie N.C.& TX

“People ask how many guys we got during our time over there - I think he thought I could relate to him, but I can’t - he said I have no idea how many guys we killed over there.” “I couldn’t tell you.” “That’s a lot of work man.” some heavy shit right there

[@st3wi3D]

Yeah. That ending phuukked me up.

Was he that evil? I'm saying this as an American that has filmed in Iraq twice. He was the darling of the West when he was attacking Iran. Just saying.

[@SleepyjoeOG]

Stalin was also seen as a hero for defeating Hitler, would you also consider him a darling of the west

[@mikenogozones]

@@SleepyjoeOG Stalin didn't go on his reign of terror until after WW2 after Hitler was defeated. And who the hell is lionizing Staling in this day and age?
