Craig Sawyer aka SawMan. As a guest please

[@70stunes71]

Agree with you 100%. Our current gov administration is f'ed. Those of us who served overseas, have watched in disbelief as all we fought for, was pissed away by a f@$%&n president with the mental capacity of an angle worm. Worse, is those that support such people. Keep up the great fight & Hooyah brother. This nation needs more awareness such as this. Tremendous thanks.

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

@Shuan Ryan Show you should definitely get whistle-blower Jeffrey Prather on the show. He's former Special forces and D.I.A and DEA agent. He was fired one year before his retirement because he exposed the corruption inside the agency. He has an incredible story and he is a great American patriot.

The amount of Veterans and Active Duty members that relentlessly worked on the clock to save countless lives and risking their careers for their Afghan counterparts is beyond incredible. I hope this Episode plants a seed for all Americans. Cheers

It's legal and accessible all over the country in various capacities now, from ayahuasca in Native ceremonies to widely available prescription ketamine infusion clinics with doctors and nurses present.

Served with Scott in 7th during and throughout the OEF/OIF push. One of most laid back, yet methodical and engaged Leaders we had. Always had the time to talk to you regardless of your rank, position or tabbed guy/support guy. Great Leader, better Man.

[@BADPONTIAC]

Largely in part of our movements during mission was garnished through the 7th’s community work.. Not gonna lie, hate to say it but OSI and FBI worked tirelessly to secure our movements as well. The quantity in tons of recovered munition was went surprisingly well.. not without hiccups but I’m here today because of these people.

[@BADPONTIAC]

And this was 05/06 early on relationships being established. Many of these relationships were funded. However, there was clearly a positive message sent to informants, so much so there wasn’t a shortage. 😅

[@zululima7331]

What’s amazing about this show, is that you are hearing history from the people who were there, not in a book years later when it’s been diluted or stained due to someone else bias or views. There are only a few who are doing this, and as a history lover myself, it’s much appreciated. Not only that, it’s things that people need to hear. What’s really going on. People need to wake up….anyway! Time to get some! 👊🏼

F'n A! Couldn't have said it better myself brother.

[@jt.124]

This guy articulates his points so well. Great interview. Learned a lot

[@creaturesofqueens]

Speaking from personal experience, and this is not a knock on any other unit or individual, but Green Berets are always some of the smartest dudes in any room they stand in anywhere on the planet. Twenty years ago, to even attempt to be an 18X you needed an 88 on the ASVAB with a language test score in the top 25%, get vetted for a top secret clearance, pass a basic psych evaluation & a perfect on at least 2/3 Pt test categories at the time: push-up, sit-up, run. That’s simply to qualify for the contract. Not many other SOF units at the time if any had such high standards, specifically educational standards. When I got to basic training I was put into one of the few 18X & RIP only contract units. There were approximately 150 across 3 platoons. We went to basic, AIT & jump school together. 50% already had a bachelors degree (& didn’t go to OCS), 25% with some college & the rest were smart, but generally 17-18 going to RIP who didn’t get the opportunity to yet seek higher education. Can only think of a handful of people who washed out or failed anything prior to SOPC-1 or SFAS, because of intelligence, failing pen & paper tests, etc. When people started to drop like flies it was more often an injury, private matter or poor land navigation skills. Green Berets are a different breed. Door stomping looks cool and gets all the attention, but it requires a different breed of soldier to calmly walk into a room in a foreign country often behind enemy lines to convince basically a total stranger to trust you with their lives and vice versa.

[@jamesdean3474]

When I went to selection in 94, minimum GT score had to be 110. The SF community took the Q- Course Star land navigation test and inserted it into SF Selection, which weeded out a lot good soldiers.

[@creaturesofqueens]

@@jamesdean3474 In 03-04 same thing. Believe it was an 88 on the ASVAB, 110 GT and high placement on the language test. The language test is a trip. It’s all based on a fake language that you need to recognize patterns. The test administrator left the room confident no one would try to cheat. At one point everyone looked around and asked each other wtf is going with these language rules. I did my best and somehow qualified for all languages and they wanted me to learn either Urdu, Russian &/or Chinese. Those academic benchmarks just get you in the door.

[@joemakarowski4334]

Lt. Col. Scott Mann's emotion and commitment to his commandos is amazing. Hell of an interview!

[@rcarlton5150]

Hey man I'm just a nobody from Ohio but I love seeing how raw these interviews are and how you all handle really hard shit.

[@dakotahlong7395]

I was in Afghanistan with the 82nd in 19-20 and got a tbi from a vbied that changed my life forever. I was in tears from this book multiple times. The conflicted feeling of the boys doing what we do to save who we can and the government just giving up and the public not giving a damn leaves me with the feeling of “what was this all for?”

[@roninkraut6873]

The public gives a damn. A lot of them have been mislead into thinking a certain way. The majority of the country knows we were there for a real reason and we were on the side of righteousness. All of us were let down by our worthless leaders who continue to divide us as a nation. The ones who count support you and your decision. God bless

[@jodiebranch7537]

Please don’t despair. I will be praying for you!

[@arch_fit8271]

I feel ya man, sucks thinking of the men/women we lost. Service members hit with catastrophic hits, or burned alive. Suicides left and right. My first NCO that took me over as a PVT, suicide with two little kids to grow up without her. They may see this on the news in the future and their mother fought to keep them safe. Civilians hurt or killed, victims of the conflict. Friends have TBI before it became recognized, suicides, domestic violence etc all while the NFL gets a movie on CTE. Changed their lives and their families lives forever. We get to live with it for the rest of our lives. I was totally burnt out from war, and believed the conflict drained us as a nation. Many of us were messaged by old Afghan friends, interpreters during the pull out, asking for help. Becoming friends on Facebook, watching each others families grow from across the world after relationships built over previous deployments and they were abandoned. The thought of something happening to send my kids back to a conflict I served in over 14 years is a let down. My oldest is now an adult, my kids could face this later. All for absolutely nothing. The ones making the decisions don't have the thoughts or memories of that battlefield. Mentally takes a toll on you.

I have a old friend who was a translator who was lucky enough to get out and get a visa here and then citizenship. I appreciate you giving Scott the platform to share this. These men, whether they were locals who helped in combat, Intel, or translating, they're our boys too. We put them in danger letting them help us. I'm really happy they could get these men out, at least the best they could. These are great men, I appreciate we have men like Scott to fight for our country

One of the things I have always admired about Shawn's show is he always shows you an angle of a story you NEVER heard about, but it was there all the while, in the shadows.

I just ordered Scott's book and am looking forward to reading it. Thanks Again for giving this Old Vet some Hope for this Country Shawn, means a lot. 👍

Shit the list goes on. And like I said in the prior post I've heard many podcast interviews of Tier 1 guys and nobody opens up like they do on Shawn's show. Hope that clears things up.

@@henrygonzalez360Didnt want to offend you at all brother I just dont agree with being ahead of the curve on current events.

Shawn and Sott: This is the most profound discussion I have heard by two veterans who have been there and done that. While the whole thing is excellent, the last fifteen minutes or so are the best. It gives a clear picture of what the problem is, who is at fault, and best of all it points the way to the future. Thanks

The Shawn Ryan Show is hands down my favorite podcast. Killing it.

[@nchlsjnichols]

Please have Scott back on i could listen to this man talk all day. Amazing story wish it was longer.

Epic episode Shawn. This has to be one the most amazing interview I have ever watched. The disgust, rage, sadness and awe felt during this episode makes me sick. Every politician in the US should watch this. The shame should compel them to be better or resign; or, like Scott said, leave their stars on the table!

[@martye3187]

The politicians KNOW what happened and they are hoping we all forget! ALL AMERICAN CIVILIANS should have to watch this so they are no longer ignorant to the facts… breaks my heart that in good faith War Fighters made promises and then the politicians COWARDICE made them appear to be liars. MEN that make honest promises never get over treacherous sh*t like that… the government didn’t make the promises THE WAR FIGHTERS DID in good faith!!!

LTC Scott Mann is inspiring.

[@georgew6955]

Excellent & very interesting video, I learned a lot, what a guy Scott Mann is. I live in the UK & my son is a serving soldier in the British army, he was at Kabul airport for the evacuation, so I have some insight into what happened there, as we all know now it wasn't good, in fact a humanitarian disaster to put it mildly. I love the interview style that Shawn has, low key & no BS, he just lets his guests shine through.

Shawn, you have found your calling in life. Your podcasts are essential listening. Bringing truth to power. Absolutely 💯 % authentic material, whatever the topic.

[@mobrosoil3266]

You are a great man Shawn. There hasn't been one episode that I didn't like. You always keep it new and original and deal with REAL ISSUES that literally impact everyone at some point. A lot of your shows have helped me with my life in quite a few ways. I hope you keep going, you are doing great things Sir.

[@allanm3797]

Awesome interview!! I just ordered the book! You are absolutely right that sometimes it just takes a few motivated guys with some big balls to get sh*t done!!

[@ShawnRyanShow]

Right on! Thanks for tuning in!!

[@chadfrank5972]

Well I say at the end of these interviews that it was the best I've seen. But this one was amazing for sure. Fires me up and makes me want to help in any way I can. Thank you Shawn for bringing this one to all of us.

[@DrunkyMcdrunkerson]
