All Military veterans should be given the respect they deserve. To all Vietnam Veterans God bless you and thank you for your service. All of you are true American Heros
I was thinking the same thing and I agree with you. I came to the comment section to see if anyone else noticed this. All due respect to this man, but why in gods name does he want the US to get involved in the Ukraine? Why would he want another round of young Americans to go die in another country for corrupted politicians?
@@trumanmiller94 civilians, travel, back-and-forth to the bank and their homes in their cars! Lately it has become difficult and dangerous in some places in this country, because they are defunding people like him! Priorities have been readjusted! Well, the civilians are making their money who is standing on the walls?
Many strange intersections with Mr. Horn's story and my interests, influences, and outlook. I had Vietnam Veteran senior leadership in my basic training battalion and company (S.F. Lt. Colonel Kennedy, his CSM, and my 1SG). I recall my visit to Dealy Plaza and trying conceive 'who would really carry out a presidential assassination?' Even Roald Dahl's "Danny the Champion of the World" springs to mind. Marine SSG Clark did a great job with us in my AIT. We had a Boston too.🤌🏻 Very nice to hear perspective from a service member of the Vietnam era👍🏻
Hey Ryan, any chance you could get an FBI HRT operator on? They’re called domestic delta for a reason, plus they deploy with JSOC all the time. Thanks all you do, your podcast is amazing.
In the interim check out Chris Whitcomb - Hostage Rescue Agent Rates 10 Hostage Scenes in Movies...Might not be as in depth as these podcasts, but still very interesting!
i actually prefer the "normal" (not that this mans achievements/experiences aren't incredible) soldier stories vs. the tier 1/elite/delta/sealz/black ops classified doods. with the tier 1 guys everythings just so classified and too limited in what they can talk about the stories get a bit repetitive and boring imo. usually just intro/childhood/selection/training/generic mission stories they can't talk too much about and then whatever business they're doing now. just my 2c and one big exception, Shrek is a fckin great interview
Certainly an interesting career but he started losing me after the repeated references to Audie Murphy and sergeant Alvin York. But us Texans are used to Okies trying to embellish themselves. Would really like to know his thoughts about the current day FBI. That organization and its members were heroes to lots of us through the years and now half of America doesn’t trust them or anything they say.
Appreciate your service in Vietnam. Brave man. However, totally lost me with his take on Ukraine and his view on Nam in hindsight. I don’t how the FBI was during his time, but now they’re arguably the biggest threat to patriotic Americans today.
😂 If you think Hoover's FBI was better than todays, I don't know what to tell you other than get educated. You're a Trumper I bet. Never thought we'd see an American President owned by Russia
I was in Golf Co. 2/9. Was there on Feb 5th on 1175. Was weapons Platoon leader as a Lance Corporal . Was senior enlisted in weapons Platoon at the time I believe Lt. Horn was our Exec Officer, When the NVA tried to over run our Arti-Base lost one of my machine gunners from a direct hit from an RPG. The sapper attack the LT, is referring to that night I remember mortar rounds where landing in the perimeter and the Gunny picked up an AK~47 and was firing it right above our M-60 gun position we thought The NVA had overrun our position so we turned the gun around and pointed up the hill thinking they would be coming down on us any second. NOTE: When I was Weapons Platoon Leader which normally is a 2nd LT. Billet or of higher rank it was right after Operation Dewey Canyon and the attrition rate on that Operation was very high. It was great seeing LT. Horn again
Ryan did you say you trained here at Rucker or was that your dad? Live by the base was curious about yours or his experience down here! Love the show , I started interviewing and taking down vets stories as well 🇺🇸⚔️
Fantastic interview!! Fantastic interviewee Fantastic interviewer God bless. This interviews keep my faith that our country. Our freedom is going to be Ok.
Hearing his view about fighting for another country’s freedom is surreal. I fought in Iraq for that same thing and never really could put a finger on the ACTUAL reason we were there. Not the WMD, “oil”, etc it was to get that dictator out of power and liberate the country. Our villagers were very grateful we were there for THEM! New outlook for my war.
Semper Fi, the best leaders I’ve ever come across were all in the Marines. The Marine Corps, especially in the infantry, really know how to build and develop leadership. I try to emulate all the best leaders I’ve had the pleasure to serve under every day. God Bless The United States Marine Corps!!!
Thanks Mr Horn for risking your life for our freedom, great story teller. Thank you Ryan for knowing how to conduct an interview, you always ask the questions I’m thinking about and letting the guys tell their stories. Excellent as always.
My mother told me this story when I was a kid. I'm 65, so I'm lacking details. Her childhood friend was in the Army during the Korean war. He got a broken jaw in a barroom brawl right before deployment and couldn't go. Everyone in his unit got killed. His enemy most likely saved his life. I imagine that he had survivor's guilt.
The Marine officer told the interviewer quite clearly the reason his father was unable to serve in WW2, yet a couple of minutes later, the interviewer asks him just that question!
I live approximately 50 miles from Jim . What a interview. A colorful life for sure with our added bonus FBI tales. Thanks Ryan. Keep up the good fight.
@@jameshorn4986 oh wow!! Thank you for replying. It was great to listen to you story. I try to chat with as many vets as h can. Lost my dad about 6 years ago sadly
@@lonnieharrison6380 I had a good friend who was a fishing and hunting guide in Soldatna, AK, who was in Golf 2/5, but I believe he was there in 67 or 68. His name was Bill Gavin and he passed away several years ago.
Your professional now send them them.the stuff...the would mail it forward to next guy....he'll even upgrade the internet service dor that month...but this was rough...fucked it up
