They Thought He Was Dead- Navy SEALs Intense Gunfight 

Probably watched each at least five times 💯

@@georgecoull1883 that’s awesome!!😎

I can’t get enough of these podcasts literally! Makes me think of the past deployments but also helps heal from the pain too. I love this Shawn and I’m starting to pay for Patron come Jan! I literally talk to my therapist about your interviews just for the fact there is things I didn’t have the balls to say or couldn’t just say it right that your guests have said it perfectly. Your a big influence on my life and I honest can say you have made me a better Man, Father, Son, and Friend because of your ability to have that deep conversation with people that others can’t do because your a veteran yourself. I love your content man and I pray for you and your family every day! ❤

I remember when your channel Vigilance Elite started, and would do story times and other tips, minor skits and the 1st interview i remember was around to bonfire with Robert, Latrell, you, Rutt, and the active no name, talking buds and Red Wings, and i was hooked, and just was like man this channel needs recognition. Finally a channel breaking down deployments, missions, in detail, asking great questions, not interrupting and so happy you blew up and getting great numbers. Well deserved!

@ShawnRyanClips I don't know how this video or any other can get 32000 views and only 1000 likes. That's just ridiculous. Love how you ask questions and actually let people answer in the fullest. Amazing shit man keep doing this

I bet I wouldn’t have felt any pain either, because I would’ve died for sure.

​@Riley Senn adrenaline is a hell of a pain killer but when it's gone good luck

Adrena-shock, it's a hell of a drug...Crazy story

My Grandfather (mom’s Dad) took 4 rounds from a machine gun to the face in Northern Italy and kept fighting. Only 3 from his platoon made it. They picked up weapons from fallen enemies & comrades to fight out of their situation. Due to material priorities for porcelain, they initially rebuilt his upper jaw with gold. A dentist in the states liberated it from him when they rebuilt it again. The picture of the 3 survivors has him with the bandage across lower face.

I was thinking the same exact thing,tough as nails.Dude must of had a strong desire to live. God bless all our veterans.

Well Dj was basically born a seal

If you were to ask them, they would probably say something like “relentless repetition.” All armies know that the more you practice drills, the more you function automatically, without having to reflect and think about what to do which takes time. Time is a luxury you may not have in a live or die situation. However, what makes a guy seek out dangerous activities or professions and why are some people more courageous or less fearful than others? I think it has to do with their brain configuration. In other words, their biology. For example, we know there is a difference between the brain of a psychopath and that of the average guy. A psychopath is not stimulated by ‘normal’ experiences and they seek and need to create extreme situations in order to feel stimulated. They neither feel fear nor empathy in the same way we do. I am not saying special forces guys are psychopaths. I am suggesting that their tolerance for extremely stressful situations is much higher than the average Joe’s. Also, they seem to be drawn to danger in the same way an extreme sportsmen is. A study was made on Spanish matadors. They scanned their brains and compared them to an average brain. They found that they either lacked a certain chemical or a part of their brain was much smaller than average (can’t remember which). This meant their fear threshold was much greater than average and could stand quite calmly in front of a charging bull without flinching.

It is a mindset and becomes a way of life!

@@777xinoyou may be right, but at the end of the day it is a job and a duty. I’ve never been a SEAL but I’ve been to the hardest regular army schools and to com

@@johnhansen8272 Absolutely! Much respect to these guys and every other man and woman who is willing to risk their own lives for the sake of another.

Thanks for tuning in!

Yes!!!!!!!I was thinking the same thing man I can't sit long time to watch videos and I watch every second of this one.... thank u sr for ur great content God bless, keep pushing..

I often find myself thinking the same with most stories told on this platform.

This IS the movie!!!... real, raw and uncut. 💪

I think most of these dudes might be working on a video game for pc.. I believe but don't quote me on it.

Lord Jesus sent an Angel

Happens all the time. Roll of the dice

@@northw3st78 what about all the others that died? Why didn’t lord jeez stop that? Mainly because life has nothing to do with a make believe man choosing to save or not save people.

@@RolandKoller90 God works in mysterious ways. I have seen his marvelous light. God bless you!

@@RolandKoller90 Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ loves you. So do I. I hope you’re having a blessed day.

I gotta say ….. For getting his face blown off the doctors did a damn good job patching him up. That’s 2 million bucks well spent .

They did a great job, most definitely. can’t imagine how painful all that was, but you’d never know it by meeting him, he has a great attitude about life. He knew how to put ppl at ease too, which I was impressed by. Ppl get nervous, not knowing where to look, not wanting to stare or whatever, and not knowing what to say, but he dispels it so easily. I admire him a great deal, for sure. :)

I bet you were pleasured by him That sounds wrong but hey I’d kiss 2million

As a Canadian living abroad, regardless, I echo this sentiment 100% x10,000.

God Bless America and all the brave selfless Men that have served. 🗺️😓🙏💪🥃

I wonder if the kid who was forced to go up the stairs in his place respects him as much as you do

@@TheeBadTake why don’t you find the soldiers instagram or social and ask him yourself?

@@TheeBadTakeThey have to do whatever it takes to win, and survive. If you were in that situation you would’ve done the exact same thing. It was his cousin, and they didn’t think the enemy would kill his own.

Kaboooooooom 💀

100%. Not many men have taken hurt like that and lived to continue adding value to the world.

I feel like this definitely shows ur survival has some much to do with mental strength than just physical....no quit in this dude what a beast

I wonder if the kid who was forced to go up the stairs in his place respects him as much as you do.

Thank you my friend!

OMG! Amazing Heros! Thank Your Father for his service- Respect!

It's not about you.

@@PostNutClarityyy ur sad lol

​@@PostNutClarityyydidn't ask

@@PostNutClarityyyweirdo

Bravery? Did you not listen to the story? I wonder if the kid who was forced to go up the stairs in his place respects him as much as you do. Anything but brave. Funny how he decided not to go after the kid gets chopped in half.

I’m glad to hear that! Thank you!

💯

Ya

Repetition. The terminology used is consistent, so you know you have to say certain things to be understood; you know you’ll be understood when you use the familiar terminology.

​@@KH-rt3ef Precisely. They're trained in the key words/key sentences that they're taught WILL save their lives, so when they need their lives and the lives of others saved its just basically a mantra. I'd guess, particularly at the end of a deployment with nightly missions like a SEAL Assault Team, that a audio playbacks of missions would almost sound like a broken record and that's exactly how it's designed so when the words are muddled by everyone is yelling/screaming those key words are still defined and clear to one's capable of listening.

Only if you bin places where you can be killed you know exactly what he’s saying. . X 11 B INFANTRYMAN 🎖️504th Airborne Regiment

Right on! You’re welcome!

I’m glad you watched! Cheers

He was told by men with guns to walk to certain death. Its sad when u think about it

Jason has been through the ringer. He has a phenomenal story. We are glad to have him on the show.

More than their dreams man.. these are the type of scars that haunt your daily life. You can never unsee, forget the sound or the smell that’s burned into their being. Thank you men for your bravery and sacrifice. No one will ever know the price you paid even when you walked away without a physical wound. 🙏

ROY BENEVIDES IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE

Yea he got shot through the face so I would imagine so.

Cheers
