This podcast is full of raw emotion, and stories that may be hard for some to listen to.
You may have read his story, seen him on other interviews and podcasts, but this is Dakota like you’ve NEVER heard him before.
We touch on his life growing up, his time as a Marine, earning the Medal of Honor and his views towards it, he shares a heartbreaking story of the base dog being shot, dealing with PTSD, teen mom, the Palin’s, and so much more in this podcast.
There are times in life when you are faced with impossible decisions. Impossible decisions that no matter what you pick, the outcome is of the gravest of consequences, and people die. This episode I had the honor of hearing first hand that experience from the one and only Dakota Meyer, Medal of Honor recipient and world class patriot. The depth of this interview can not be overstated, one that every American should listen to. #MikeDrop #MikeDropPodcast

My dad is 88 years old. He's a Korean vet and has contended with PTSD since 1950. He refused to let me or my brother join the military. We grew up with the upmost respect for people who defend our nation. He was hard on my brother and I. Awesome dad, took no shit. Now I get it. Our leadership needs to stop fighting proxy wars for bankers and politicians sending the best and brightest our nation has to offer to die. Those who survive live with ghost for the rest of their lives. I cannot express my personal gratitude for their sacrifices. My dad fought and survived several decades before I was born. I'm the youngest of four. Because he endured what he did when he did, I'm here today. There will come a day when DMs daughter will grow up, understand his experience and realize that he was fighting for her too. He fought so he could live to be her dad. Hardcore but true. May God bring him peace.

@@unprocessed_life You piece of shit! You know he has struggled with PTS and depression right asshole? He has finally been able to get his life back on track and push forward to bigger and better things! All these things will change your personality going thru something so terrible. Do the world a favor and check yourself before you spit garbage at great Veterans that are out here helping and inspiring others to push thru the pain and make a better life!

Mr. Dakota, from a retired law enforcement officer's wife, I am absolutely moved / grateful for your focus, energy and selflessness on behalf of your team and our country. Mike Ritland always brings GREAT PODCASTS. Your raw emotion and details are incredible, but know this, your girls have a mountain of a role model to follow. To the man who killed Annie (sp?) may he rot in the recesses of hedouble hockey sticks. Gods blessings to you sir. To those of you who dislike the video "DON'T HATE APPRECIATE" these are United States history makers.

I’ve followed Dakota on social media for a while now and honestly I feel like an asshole for the perception I had of him. I was completely off. What a stand up, down to earth, honest, great person he is. And I wish him nothing but the best in life.

@johnathanpitcock5236 4 года назад

He is the epitome of the true definition of being a patriotic American. He is paying the price of his heroic actions and deserves nothing but complete respect for said actions. Ill never forget your sacrifice and you are a true inspiration to me and many others. God Bless you Dakota and we love you. Anytime your in Kentucky brother give me a holler any day or time. I've got your back against anyone and even if you just need to bend an ear, I'm here man!

@bradbrown9722 4 года назад

Thanks for paying attention and LISTENING to Meyer. He’s a loyal man with the best of intentions. That’s what I get from LISTENING to Mike, Dakota and many other Veterans .....

@elliotmccajun3736 2 года назад

I felt the same. Looking into a person's life on any given day, can often leave the observer with a drastically distorted view of who that person actually is. God, there are days where I'm certain that I'd be viewed as an asshole. My closest loved ones have said that I'm an asshole every now and then but they know I'll be there for them when they need me, no matter how my day is going. I think watching his saga unfold, follows that concept.

Again: Mike is a top guy to hold a conversation and keep it together. What really makes me happy is all the profanity, movie kvotes/refences and jokes that keeps the conversation going and reminds me how me and my buddys talk. Then not to forget how Mike talked directly to Dakota and telling him what he thought about guilt really makes me believe that Mike cares about his fellow Veterans. That was a great piece of the interview. And a Big thank you to Dakota for doing this interview. Hope you find peace brother. You deserve it.

J R I was with 3/3 Kilo as a radio operator. Was formed up over in HQ Co. Comm shop which was essentially a disbanded ANGLICO unit at that time. They hadn’t stood up the ANGLICO. Units at that time. As soon as I was sent to Marksmanship Coaches Course they farmed me out to 3/3 Kilo about a week after graduating that course. We def had to do a lot of the same shit on that island. 😂 I have some great memories of that island. In fact, last month my daughter turned 18 and her mother is from Kalihi Valley.

It is VERY difficult to watch Dakota's pain, especially in seeing his heroism as failure, but also him not wanting to acknowledge why he may not want to address the person who saved his life by removing the bullet. His pain is super painful to watch. I hope with time that he finds peace and I think Mike gave him some things to think about that may help. He really is an amazing man.

It’s like nothing else. Dakota you said you don’t like talking about it but we all thank you for sharing it with all of us listening. Future and current Marines will appreciate it for generations.

@renaissancelady9938 3 года назад

Dakota, I am a strong believer that every person has a certain path and purpose set before them....perhaps because of who you are as a person, the mental strength, courage....you are now fulfilling your "destiny" by bringing light to the injustices of their deaths...all the poor decisions of upper leadership, etc. You have now became their voice. Please know that by writing your book and speaking publicly and telling your story...you are making changes. There are good and evil people all over the world. It's hard to fight a war when you realize that there are really good guys on both sides and really evil guys on.both sides. In the end...we each have to look in the mirror and ask ourselves...which group do we belong to? That is all that matters. God bless you both for all you have done and all that you do! Amazing video. Keep up the good work.
