Amazing man. It pisses me off that the military would rather throw away good people instead of helping them. A major reason I retired when I did. Great show, as always
Absolutely fascinating human! Wow, I wouldn’t take the dude for the savage badass he is & has been due 2 his humble, Soft demeanor, I firmly believe this is a man after Gods own heart & his light shines brighter in darker places, Another great interview TY!
I love his passion for the Lord and his humble demeanor. This is a great American on display! Thank you Mike! God Bless you both and God Bless the USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looking forward to a Force Recon bubba. Should be a great one. Mike, id love to hear Cole Fackler's story. We heard DJ on VE. This seems like it would be the missing piece of both of their stories. EDIT: Finally got to watch it. This has to be the best interview. Maybe partial because he is a Marine and former TOW Gunner. Amazing life story. As always, I'm glad he escaped the demons and came out on top. Thanks for all you do, Brother. Semper Fi!
I had the opportunity to hear Chad speak at the ATOA conference in Az and talked to him about my sons’ Jiu Jitsu passion. Very humble and approachable guy. If you have the opportunity to hear Chad speak incredibly inspirational.
Met some Force Recon guys when I was overseas. Some real tough dudes. Super dedicated, hyper strong, and you didn't wanna be on the recieving end of their aggressive firepower. Great video!!!
Incredible journey Chad. Thank you for sharing your story, an what your doing an have done for our Veterans. An thank you again Mike for bringing these incredible American heroes story's to us 🇺🇸
Fantastic, thank you both. I'm grateful to hear the stories and know there are great men out there fighting the good fight. Blessings to you both. Will be praying for Aziz.
Just watched him today on the unashamed podcast. I love all these war fighters podcast where we see just how the great things they have gone on to do. Like literally this guy is super impressive, right up there with guys like Tim Kennedy who will still put their boots on and go run special missions. Great, great man
Thank you Mike, your potcasts provided lots of informative entertainment over the past year. GOD bless you all and thank you for your service not only to America but all of the world.
Super interesting, intriguing & educational interview! He seems like a super intelligent, kind & honest person that secretly is a ninja fluent in all things force recon/spec ops. Keep Killin' It Mike, this shows turned into an exceptional platform with guests that keep getting better & more interesting each time! Happy Holidays, hope you, your kids & the dogs all have a great Christmas/New Years! 🎅🎄⛄🐾🐶 🥋
This podcast has hit me square in the mouth!! Knuckles on teeth HARD!! If this guy who has been through so much can be saved from suicide by the power of Christ then surly I can find peace!! Thank you so much for your honesty and directness!!
Great podcast Mike, he's an amazing guy. I hope his Mighty Oaks program continues, and gets better and better. That the VA fails so many vets is a crime! Our government should be doing this stuff for all the vets. USAF 1968-72.
WOW!!! I do hereby, officially relinquish my self-appointed title of "Americas Badass" & award him lifetime membership in the Rawbone Club!!! God Bless & Semper Fi Brother!!! STA 2/9!!! ✊✊✊
I live 3 miles from Summit Point WV . I used to race my Bike out there . I had no clue until 3 or 4 years ago High Level Operstors and other agency's did their driving training there . It does make sense because DHS training compound is also right down the street as well ..
@@seanwhite304 Been wanting to move to West Virginia from Pennsylvania. Love the mountains and it just seems like there's more freedom there. Finding work seems to be the only issue
@@smithnwesson990 I would bet 60% of the people in Jefferson county WV work in DMV area . Northern Va is 5 miles away , DC is 60 miles , Montgomery county MD is 40 Miles , Frederick county MD or Va is 20 miles away and lastly less than 80 miles from Baltimore. Loudon and Fairfax Va are 2 richest counties in the USA . Loudon county is literally right down the street . Fairfax county or Dulles Airport is within 40 mins as well . So I wouldn't be too concerned about work . If you can't find a good job in the DMV area then you are an idiot .
Theres lots of guys interviewed on these podcasts that have done amazing things in their chosen vocations and brancges of service which is great, good for them, but there is another tier/amount of guys that id want to put on a spacecraft and send to another planet to reproduce if mankind on earth was threatened and Chad is one of those guys. Hes a really impressive and humble guy and his is a great story of accomplishment, growth and getting on with life.
@@MikeRitland Thanks Mike. I have the same issue with Uninfluenced many times. Then I post about it and it appears. I couldn't find it on there until this morning. No idea what the issue is. Got it now, thanks. Always look forward to the podcasts.
Thanks you guys for giving it your all for our safety, and still for our growth and a different perspective. It reminds me of how things can seem like theres nothing in the horizen, yet once Jesus lifts us and we see from a different vantage point, we see something totally different. I am glad Chad didnt pull the trigger in that closet!
Anyone catch the first place he said when Mike asked about his favorite country? Tajikistan? Never heard of it actually and he said the people were super nice and the food was good, I'll have to check this place out. Anyone know how it is there?
Listening to the story of him killing the guy as a police officer has my mind blown....The guy had his 30.30 rifle over his shoulder? Like not shouldered but actually over his shoulder? How the hell does that even work lol. I'm trying to imagine someone holding a 30.30 on their shoulder while also being able to pull the trigger. I've never seen someone come out with a gun over their actual shoulder and actually still be able to shoot it without dropping it. Goes to show that people do weird things and when they have a gun you dont take any chances especially when they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. What a story. Him saying how he causally looked over at him after eating 11 shots to center mass and just looked at him saying "you killed me" and then falls over and takes his last breath is horrifying... I'm sure he thought about that and probably had trouble processing that as a young man. It sucks when someone like that makes a choice and that choice unfortunately leads to them being killed by you. Like this man said, he was doing everything in his power to try to save his life. The last thing he was thinking about was actually shooting the man, especially after seeing his kids and all the pictures of his family and kids. It's a tough job and like Mike always says we need to FUND the police, not DE-FUND them because these officers need all the training they can get. It blows my mind that police officers barely ever train or have mandatory training... it leads to over weight and out of shape cops and physically weak cops and that leads to them not being confident and shooting sooner then later. Train, train, train, train and train some more.
At the 22:40 mark this technique is explained. But it sounds like it was more the drugs or Alcohol. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S_qX2GA8zmc.html
Ritland is a Norwegian name and place here in Norway 👍 from a Norwegian military and security situation we with a military background are very afraid of your new president..he is a warmongere
id love to know if that tow shot in the bus was during the initial invasion in 03. i am pretty sure i saw that bus right after you were there. everyone blown out laterally. quite a sight. Semper Fi Chad. Mike- love the content bro.
Nice job, guys. Mike it would be great if you could interview one of the "MARSOC 7" that were kicked from the Stan. Fred Galvin is one and he's been vocal about that debacle, but there's not much out there on it. God bless and Merry Christmas to all 🙏
Another great interview with a great human being. I realize this will probably never get answered, but i have to know what make and model that couch is. Anybody?
Nice interview. You might want to speak to anyone about everyones fears. It’s being in jail. Not a cop not a sailor. A county jail deputy in a county that has to fight everyday. And just not the crooks. Try coming to PDX and watching your ass all shift.
I’m sorry but if two cops can’t take out a guy in a close combat situation with 6 shots max you don’t deserve to be a cop. It’s different being good in the military and he literally brings up ptsd right after. I love you for your service and life store.
