เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2022
War Stories is conversational military history. With a focus on modern U.S. military history spanning from WWII to current day conflicts, War Stories explores a deeper, more personal side of war.
Utilizing short- and long-form video as well as podcasts, we are able to tell stories of individuals in a distinct and comprehensive manner that allows the listener to feel connected to history in a uniquely personal way.
Preston Stewart and Sayre Payne served together in Dog Company, 2-502IN, 2BCT, 101st Airborne Division where Sayre was an infantry platoon leader and Preston a fire support officer.

Fighting the Global War on Terror with the Bastogne Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division
Today we are joined with Michael Franks. Michael joined the Army in 2005 on an 18X contract inbound to Special Forces. Injury changed his course where he then found himself with the historic 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry (No Slack) of the 101st Airborne Division.
Michael served in both Iraq and Afghanistan with No Slack and served during the events which were filmed for the documentary Hornet's Nest-specifically the Battle of Barawala Kalay Valley. We highly recommend giving Hornet's Nest a watch if you haven't already seen it.
We discuss Michael's experience and feelings during the Global War on Terror, and the meaning many of us learned then, and continue to search for.
Since leaving active duty, Michael transitioned to the Army Reserves and for his "day-job," serves as a senior wealth advisor in the Cincinnati, OH area.

Can the US Military Defeat an Insurgency
‘Holy Cow, it’s complicated!’ Never a truer word spoken. It was a tragedy the US/ the West having destroyed Al-Qaeda bases then fell into the trap of trying to run/ change Afghanistan, instead of allowing local coalitions to form, stabilise
Im 30 y.o iv seen a lot in my life as a emt but idk if i could wrap my mind around how scary its gotta be to be on the reciving end of a artillery round
Spent 7 years as a Reserve OC/T. Awesome job and really opened my eyes to war on a bigger level and is helping me while I am deployed at a higher command level
Shouldve allied Russia
We were not under the control of the 191st MI. We were under the control of the Division G2. The team Art is talking about was not attacked by 3 companies of NVA. If so they and Art would not be here today. No Cobras came to the rescue. They were not active in Vietnam yet as they did not arrive in Vietnam until 29 August 67.The first Cobra mission was flown on Oct 8, 67. Ghost of the highlands is a fiction (about 90% untrue. Art was a rear scout, not the team leader. John Simones was the team leader and Doug Fletcher was the assistant team leader. We wee not LRRP Rangers.We were simply LRRPs. Personally, I was chosen by the G2 to form a LRRP team, train it and lead it into the jungle. My parent organization was A Troop, 9th Cavalry, 1st Cav Division.
you two men serve? U know about walking point?
Preston Stewart was a himars commander i believe
2/1 fox co. 3rd plt. 03-07 valiant resolve steel curtain
From the very beginning of the US military budget was slashed , unprepared, with low readiness. So MacArthur isn't the only one to blame here. In fact, had the landing at Inchon not went well, the US, UN, and South Koreans would have been going yard by yard from the Pusan perimeter to Seoul. Yes, General MacArthur deserves all the blame for getting hemmed up at Chosen, but bigger picture here. Let's not pretend the Chinese wouldn't be involved eventually as the North Korean army faltered.
So glad this was archived.
nice conversation, gents
Thank you for sharing. My father, William Huff, was an Army Ranger in Vietnam 69-72. He died when I was 5 (1982) and up to that point could never talk to my mother about his experience in Vietnam. this gives me some insight.
I was section leader for 3/6 81's platoon, and it was definitely a hell of a time
Tell them about the movies you borrowed from me in Iraq
Keep em coming guys !! BZ from an old Navy guy from nam
I wish I could find some stories about my family members who served. 2nd ranger battalion, PFC Lee Junior Taylor. KIA in bergstien Germany. He also was there for the initial invasion. His brother Alfred Taylor, also fought in WW2, he fought in Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Iwo Jima. I can’t find any stories or history about these men. I’td be incredible to find someone who had served with either of them and could possibly have some stories or more information.
I Hope you guys come back I love listening to the podcasts
💩💩💩
I was there same time USS Providence CLG 6
I enjoyed that- thank you. My father was first an Ensign and then was promoted to CO of LCI(G)79 from 1942-1945. Saw action at Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, Peleliu, and Okinawa. He never talked about engagements but I found out from research that at Okinawa a shell passed through the hull of his ship without exploding, and his ship was first on the scene to a fellow ship on the radar picket line which had been hit by a kamikaze boat. I enjoyed this interview - especially the stuff about them being regarded as “peons”. My Dad, especially being a ninety day Annapolis wonder, would have really been hazed, I imagine. RIP Lt jg C. L. Fergus
My father was an EM2 onboard an LCI[G] 454. Never really told any stories. W.A.WOOD [WOODY]
very interesting episode thanks for putting this out there and telling his story i just started watching and i havnt heard what did sayre do in the military what branch mos and stuff was he i know prest is artillery i heard him say tank and that he wasnt behind the gun sounds like he drove a tank is my guess but would love to know what he did...keep up the good work guys loving the podcast thanks
I was an infantry officer with Preston in the 101st. We served in Afghanistan together in the same company. I was a platoon leader, he was our fire support officer.
@@warstorieswithprestonandsa2084 very cool thank you for serving and replying.. hope some new podcast episodes are to come in the future
“War on terror” 🤡 hahaha. US government and US military is a disgrace.
This guy is mentally disturbed give a shit about others he gives a shit about what he has served as a experience of garbage
This promoting fear and then he’s also promoting future suicides know that 32 Americans that served in the military are committing suicide a day
You got a smirk on your face like you’re proud of killing people for your country you’re mentally disturbed
I was 3/6 Lima, 1st Platoon during Operation Steel Curtain. Hell of a time.
Range of 5inch thirty eight is now fourteen miles. That's today stats.
Preston I know a Navy discharged Seaman in Vietnam part of a large civilian boat that fired off numerous rockets into the air and made a second event of the USS Turner JOY He is alive and was a CIA CONTRACTOR as was the rest of that ship. This man was serious and said it was not a (sea story) 26 year Navy Vet sends.
I heard this guy, during hand-to-hand with an insurgent, took a plate out of his vest and BEAT him to death. That is intense.
His book "House to House" was a recommended read for infantry officers back when I went through the officer leader's course. -Sayre
David talks about the importance of knowing their unit's history. That is a huge reason why the USMC is so tight knit.
Great interview, would like to here more from Bob
Total hardcore badasses left to right
Good show guy's..
woah yor other channel is really blowing up! buts cool to come back and see your come-up to the youtube fame
Thank you Fellas.
You guys are all I/we could hope for both representing our country and protecting Her. I'm going to fire this off to friends and family. This will put a lot of folks minds at ease and perhaps even, cool off some of the unnecessary vitriol when they see what it looks like to lead with what's most important. By example and focused on the people. Thank you Fellas. You are appreciated.
Appreciate it. We can assume a lot of things until we speak to those on the ground doing the job. That's the best way to gain perspective.
Haha these guys are CIA.
no chance.
"We support freedom." Yet we spent the last 2 years locked down from a virus developed by the Eco Health Alliance, which was funded by the NIH and highly invested in by Dr Fauci. There are political prisoners in solitary confinement right now for peacefully protesting an election that was highly irregular, and the government continues to call "the most secure in history." If you two are concerned about the US not being a super power anymore maybe we should have tried diplomacy before the Russians invaded instead of intentionally goading them in. Don't you think it's a little weird at all that the point man in Ukraine during the Obama years is the same guy who is now funneling billions of US dollars through that country which is not and will never be a US ally?
They were terrible Chechen ,the problems were always there and like Iraq when Americans paid the Sunni tribes the Russians did it in Chechen ?
When I heard that the GOP voted against the Pac Act, I don't think my wife ever seen me so piss out in 18 years
Not true. Schumer kept all Republican Amendments from the floor. Schumer also voted no for the Pact Act. It was a 400 Billion Act with Democrat provisions to later, after the Bill passed, add another 400 Billion for non Veteran related items. In plain words, the democrats planned on using Veterans for their choice programs which had nothing to do with Veterans.
Had a blast talking with you guys. Think I told my wife like 10 times how much fun I had 😂
The best conversations are the ones that feel easy and natural. This was one!
@@warstorieswithprestonandsa2084 agreed. Hope we can hit a few battlefields together and learn.
"International Rules Based Order" If this stuff cannot coexist with the US Constitution then it should not be even remotely observed or adhered to. I challenge the notion that the US is the leader of the so-called free world.
This was a good reminder, I live within easy driving distance from Antietam/Sharpsburg, and I've wanted to visit for years. Maybe tomorrow?
Update: I did go see the battlefield, and had a great experience. It is well maintained, the tour route is logical, and there is a huge amount of information and memorials. You can do a quick tour in 2 hours, but I'd recommend spending at least 3-4 to be able to walk around and absorb it. It seems excellent for biking.
Awesome Bruce! There's tons to explore in all our backyards! Doesn't have to be complicated/hard to reach to have value. Really glad to hear you got out there to appreciate your local history/area.
My father was a LRRP in 67-68 173rd airborne 74th infantry detachment. Alive and well, he's always been a very humble man. Its funny hearing Artie say that he didn't go to Recondo School because he was busy fighting. Long ago I asked my father if he went to Recondo School and he responded with a very similar answer. Something to the effect of " No because some of us had to stay back and fight". Much respect to Artie and all LRRPs.
Awesome and thanks for sharing. Those guys went through some hell.
ross ya bloody smashed it love from australia 💪
Ok, this rule based order has to apply to ourselves if we’re going to preach it. Regime change in Russia has been US strategy. The US seeks regime change and there are a lot of examples so what does this rules based order say? The US didn’t support the 2014 coup in Ukraine? You know with better relations with the Russians you would actually have an idea rather than speculating about things.
Good points. The first, and most accessible person we can hold accountable is our own selves. Need to do that before we go thinking of others. Not easy.
@@warstorieswithprestonandsa2084 George Orwell had a quote “Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give solidity to pure wind.” That’s kind of the cynical way of saying it but it’s relevant, the way people fixate on words such as “unprovoked” and “defensive alliance” that support their view of the world is telling. Seems like a lot of people can’t handle things that challenge their narrative of the world and turn it upside down. They fight the hardest to not acknowledge simple things like the fact that what we do has an effect on how other nations interact with the US. It’s like a school popularity contest, are you in the cool crowd or are you part of the trench coat mafia? A lot of people will say the US isn’t innocent but that it’s no excuse for what Russia is doing, but that train of thought is just an excuse for not acknowledging the truth. Personally I think if people were to acknowledge the truth there would be a disastrous level of backtracking for things to be acceptable. I’ve come across a lot of vids where people call Americans naive, it’s true though. If they could handle the truth I think we would accomplish our goals as a nation much faster lol
Yeah like trump said🤷 Obama and Biden fucked us
This is basically the UN's Ethiopia vs. Italy situation.
Thank you for knowledge
I saw a vote in contested areas ...going door to door ... a Russian with a clip board with 4 soldiers with machine guns... I saw the report once and I have not seen the clip again .... fair vote ???
