Should get John Shrek McPhee on, the sheriff of Baghdad... his interviews on the combat story with Ryan are great. How you interview people It'd be a good one.

I went through Sage with Tom and ran into him frequently in 7th. I liked him from the minute I met him and it’s good to see him alive. He talks about being arrogant but he never displayed that at all.

Spent the first half of the 90s doing a regular rotation at a drug surveillance radar site in Colombia as an Air Guard technician. Really remote area. Got to know the Special Forces team guys pretty well. There were 4 assigned to the site for a few months at a time. A few guys were solitary guys who were cool but wouldn’t really interact but most of the guys were really good guys who would spend nights on the veranda with us swapping stories. This guy reminds me of them. Humble when they could’ve been otherwise. They are unique among men. Held in esteem by other military guys. And I’m father and brother to combat decorated Airborne Rangers who I personally hold in high esteem.

We are all still waiting on Instructor Terry Patstone….and his mustache….!!!

Sounds like The Unit takes care of their own above and beyond any possible expectations. Brotherhood for real. Great stuff

All that I can say is Wow!!! I'm so happy that we have you guys on our side

That's real pressure and top level accountability getting reviewed week to week. The way to have the highest standard. Very rare.

Amazing guest, incredible people. Kevin Holland would be a great person to have on too, being Dev and the Unit, would be a great conversation I think!

I love watching these videos on your show Shawn. The guys are so humble and down to earth. What's weird is that they don't need to be like that. They could be cocky and arrogant, but they've been through so much in their lives it makes them humble and appreciate life. They are full of gratitude. They are nothing like for example watching social media star Jake Paul shoot off his mouth saying he's bad and tough he is. These guys are mature and have my respect.

Please keep doing these phenomenal interviews, they are very informative and quite interesting

I'm loving this. Good stuff!

In the military, you can coast and go with the flow. But in the military things can get intense. So, the question is: "Who do you want next to you? Or covering your back?" If you push yourself to be better, or the best version, those who have gone through it, will be the ones next to you. And they believe the same of you. Surprisingly this works outside the military as well.

They were wizards. Their superiors, the technology & systems who gave them their orders? Not so much

We took care of each man. Not difficult to understand.

Can’t imagine getting that high of training and then you leave in the middle when you’re all pumped up and get sent home then lose all that motivation and have tordemotivate yourself and basically start in a different group possibly. At that level of training which I have no idea what it’s like. Ugh. That’s way different than being trained completely with no breaks. Wonder if the break makes you better at your job having to shift your responsibilities and then get back at it with different people. It’s like most the stories from these elite soldiers always have an unplanned break in their training. Jist wondering if that break boosted them to a different level.

This is why I'm so glad I was single during my time in SF.

Still have that horrible jump cut from SF to Delta.

like it- - you should have on more Cold War vets - keeping us safe back in the day

Great interview! When he was told to throw chem lights and try to keep up, what was the meaning of throw chem lights?

Get the sheriff of Baghdad on

Has he talked to Pat Mac yet? He'd be another good one. Former Delta

spooner they knew you were a certified bad ass they had no plan of firing you.

Your show is it

Man I can't wait for each episode that comes out. Thanks for your service go Army

PUT JAKE ZWEIG ON!!!!! HE’S A SAVAGE AND HILARIOUS!!!!💪💪💪🫡

It would seem these guys would know that families and special forces are not a good combination. There comes a time when a guy is too old to be in the teams, that’s the time to do the family thing, if that is what you want (confirmed batchelor here).

This is so funny, he's askin him about team shit being the new guy and the old oda vets mustve been some hard men to please, and dude goes straight into describing his cadre time in the Q transitioning directly into HIS month 2 in the course & guys just like "uh huh, uh huh, wait what?" SO rare and funny to see both ends of a conversation equally misunderstanding each other lol" Anyway his class sounds like around the time the guy hopped outa the truck & drew down on the sheriff he thought was in on the whole phase3 shenanigans & found out the gut shot way that he wasnt when the sheriff gunned him down & they instituted the rule that anybody who gets shot during sage3 is automatically Tabbed .. .. .. LoL !!

Love the channel!

Love your shows

War wizards? Of course we were.

3:17 pause

It reminds me of Joe Teti's story of ground branch. Can you have him on?

Imagine this... Set aside everything else... All things are possible because you can think it... You can move at the speed of light from your astral body. That body jumps into a new one, like the movie avatar... immersion. You move in this space-time with a body in three directions... You move in time in three directions... Jump... From your highest point moving towards the ground layers of you unfold, until by the time you straightened up, an entire plethora can of whoop ass is opened... Are you one of us?

Why did none of them step forward and say "We are never going to win in Afghanistan"

They are first cousins Eugenics is a real things No taesaçes disease or Ashkenazism so who may be wrong in the flower of life

Also, I'm sure the women of South America helped...

Of course they were.

Patstone

yessir

Get John "Shrek" McFee on.

Shawn, You're the Man. Wondering if Ukraine could use the Military age men coming into the US. THERE'S Million's

Honest answer: not very. But the point is to declare something so special that people being to believe it.

🎉🎉

☝️🐸✨

Yep most military bases are in the south😂 I believe the wizards thing generation kill

Sweat, Personal Motivation, Respect, Admiration and Brotherhood …… few will ever Truly Experience it…. Being part of it up close will Forever Effect your Life and your outlook on Life….🪂 ❤️ 🇺🇸

Why are all of these interviews so vague? A severe lack of detail in these stories.

Dumb Question, Special Forces go in and do the Job, Whatever is asked of them, and Leave. What the hell does Professional have to do with it ??????

Worked near SF in Afghanistan. I was not impressed. It was 2008, maybe the good ones were all in Iraq for the surge.....

First clip I've seen. Is Shawn always this poor a host?
