ryan is it possible to get an ex silver squadron operator on here for an interview? cause u can find ex red, gold and blue operators that have done interviews but so far i havent seen a single ex silver operator interview anywhere. now i know its the newest assault squadron in devgru but theres gotta be a retiree somewhere from the backfilling they had to do from the other 3 to make the squadron.
Yup, Shawn is Definitely Not a "Well Enough About You, Let's Talk About Me" type of Host and interviewer, who is in Love with the sound of his own voice.........Very Refreshing, not to mention that as far as the Guests, "Their Stories" are told & that's what we want to hear
This Shawn Ryan podcast is soo good, it almost doesn’t even feel normal. It’s far and away the best on this platform. Brings the term “ Real “ to a whole other level
Shane Patton is from Boulder City, Nevada. His picture is in many shops downtown. At The Coffee Cup downtown there is a shrine inside at the back wall. Many operators from clandestine units from around the world have put their patches up on the wall around where his picture is. If you’re ever in Las Vegas make the trip out to The Coffee Cup in Boulder City to check it out. It’s the best breakfast / lunch in the Las Vegas area.
i want my kids and grandkids to watch every one of these interviews. this is better than a history book, and its a first account of these events, thank you Shawn for doing this, our military families are amazing
Then you're a fool. History books tend to be researched, cross referenced, and peer-reviewed. Interviews just allow people to spin stories from a bias or bs perspective.
As a dad myself , I just wanted to point out how Shawn never fails to tell us he loves us ! Families have ups and downs but no doubt he adores his wife and kids along with his fans & teammates ! We love you too buddy and thank you for all you have done !
I agree and this is key. Jocko does the same. Nobody wants to hear a one upper or someone who constantly has to compare to their own stories. That’s why Sean is good at what he does, he lets them speak. It’s like therapy for the guest, for the listeners, and probably for Sean
My best friend Nate “Lalo” Roberti was on Team 10 and a part of RedWings. He was on the first rescue mission and missed being on that chopper by a single man switch last minute..That whole mission effed him up so bad, his life and choice of decisions has been very bad ever since. I was in Fallujah 2x as a Marine myself so I get it. Just wanted to say, I’ll never forget Redwings, I have the patch he gave me on my backpack today. Semper Fi
hope nate is doing better. I just googled his name and read that he had a lot of sh*t going down last year. I hope he is successful battling his demons.
I’ve seen a lot of Luttrel interviews and podcasts and this is the first time I’ve heard about the coin toss. This channel really is one of the best. ❤
This is such an awesome platform. What I like most about Shawn is that he comes to an interview with some topics he wants to discuss but he doesn't try to control or push a particular narrative. He just let's his guest develop the story on their own terms. He is really becoming a great journalist.
just a flat out warrior. such a well spoken individual. Awfully sorry for the Seals and everyone else’s losses on this op. my condolences, and thank you all for your service
I appreciate your interviews. Your show must go a long way towards showing the world what amazing people our armed services are. I’m an Aussie and our media has recently behaved abominably towards one of our soldiers in their effort for headlines. How the media thinks they can judge what’s right and wrong in what happens in a war zone years after the fact is beyond belief. It would be interesting to see you interview one of our Aussie service people. Thank you for what you do and how you go about doing it.
BRS was a symbol, if it wasn't him, it would have been some other VC winner. It's a demoralisation program, the same with drugs. Illicit drugs are a destabilisation tool, as the country who makes most of the chemicals has an axe to grind over the opium war and the fallout from that war
@@njb7319 unarmed or not everybody knows how cunning those fighters were and how a wrong decision made can turn into a war crime very quickly. the man was unarmed and what looked to be a wheat farmer but i think what old mate means is that they didnt really go into what made mr roberts shoot him and what his actual thought process was, they dont tell you what the mission was or the hostility of the area. people dont just go and kill who they know is an innocent civilian. the man obviously must have had something to make him think they were a threat and murder him. not as simple as if your red shoot blue. im not saying its right the man should have never died but its not right that theyve painted him a psycho piece of shit with no looking at his side of the story r even telling the viewer what his side even was. you just see the helmet cam and a cut interview with a medic from their battalion.
That is one unfair coin toss! LOL! That is totally how they lost the coin toss...it was rigged and they didn't even notice hahaha I.e. HEADS I WIN TAILS YOU LOSE! Not a fair toss at all!
Brother this is great, it is so nice to hear from someone that has been around trauma and seen trauma that he is not sure of all the details .. “don’t remember the exact time line “ etc … I listen to these discussions on here and it is clear you get it brother and handle it so well … so many people want all the details .. who is to blame etc.. I read some of the comments and they are just shit opinions , we were not there , decisions are made to save lives and take lives in milliseconds … when trauma happens what you remember is the emotions and block the rest and move on … it becomes tough to remember all the details because you block it out to continue the mission .. here is to the solider and warriors that do their best to make the right decision with the information they have at the time … you guys are always professional … Stay in the fight ! Thanks brother for these appreciate it ..
Joe Rohan name dropped you dude. Being someone who has watched you since year one of TH-cam this has been and honor to watch you glow up dude. Thanks for the hard work!
I deployed with CJSOTF-A the rotation after Operation Red Wings happened. I do remember that after casualties take place, they put all comms on lockdown. The reasons are that 1) they want to make sure that they have the casualties correct (you don't want a wife getting word that her husband is dead if he is not), 2) they want to make sure they organize the family notifications correctly to ensure proper support for the family.
Thank you so very much for everything that you have done for this country. I feel your courageous spirit comes from deep within. God bless you! Sean, thank you for bringing many of our finest to speak with you, and that you allow them to speak freely w/o interrupting. Sometimes these guys need an intelligent ear to understand! God bless you Shawn Ryan🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another great show. The SEAL in this episode was one of the instructors in a series on Discovery channel called The Selection aired about about 6 - 7 yrs ago
@@MrD1981 your thinking of the documentary. He was in a different show. It was about civilians going thru a fictional selection process that was a hodgepodge of things different branches do for selection. Q course, rasp, indoc, buds etc. Obviously not anywhere near what real selection is like but it was just a show.
Has anyone said how much they love shawns interview style yet? Cause I think I might be the frist person to ever notice/comment about how great it is the way he just sits back and lets his guest tell their story without interruption. Nobody has ever noticed or commented on this before about his interviews.....................
Great interview, seeing that you guys do in fact still have normal human emotions is always a plus. Imo seeing the guest operator(s) name in the header or description would be helpful for us viewers.
My old CSM and 1SG were there part of 160th. The chinook that went down, my CSM at the very least [never spoke to my former 1SG about it] knew everyone by name on that aircraft. One of the saddest days for SOAR and America when this happened.
The whole “tip of the spear” status is disintegrating before our very eyes. So much coverup, so much lying, so much spin, so many book deals, and screenplays and speaking engagements … can’t the military force these guys to sign a contract stating they will keep their mouths’ shut?
I Served from 1983-89 and back then there were Non-Disclosures. If you spoke of anything you did publicly, you could be disavowed or worse. I wasn't with the Teams, but I was in a Rate that encountered them regularly.
I would love to see an interview of Matt Axleson’s older brother. Would love to hear what he was going through at the time of Redwings. It was three days after Matt’s birthday the day Matt died.
It’s so humbling to see some of the baddest warriors on the planet open up and talk about their real life experiences with loss and how they support one another. People too often forget soldiers are human too and the shit we don’t want to think about is the life they live. God bless
I still find it amazing that nobody mentions MAJ Steve Reich of the 160th. He was one of my LTs and not mentioned in the movie and the vast majority of discussions on this mission. Look him up. Great guy, pitcher, soldier.
The coin toss reminds me of the 1959 WDP involving musicians Tommy Allsup and Ritchie Valens on who was gonna fly to the next gig instead of taking the bus.
I went through that same phase as infantryman, where something really shitty happened during deployment and I had to realize that I'm not invulnerable and that really bad things can happen.
Watched a good documentary, called '' The Lone survivor, the real story''. Luttrell set his Lawyers onto Gulab because he dared to question the honesty of Luttrells Hollywood story.
Unless you were there, I would hold up questioning anything or believing anything not told by the ONLY PERSON ALIVE THAT WAS THERE. There’s tons of jealous mofo’s that talk about this on podcasts even today all these years later that nit pick every detail the only peoblwm is they WERE NOT THERE!
@jeremyfortune7274 the thing is, Marcus said (it's on video) he threw his weapon down and ditched his buddies, he's a coward. The other guy Gulab scoffs at the books claims...it's clear what happened. They got spanked by the Taliban, and the USA couldn't let the truth out. I'd have more respect for Marcus if he just owned it instead of lying. I don't believe a word out of the mans mouth. Its clear that the SEAL teams are not even on par with British Para or Royal Marine Commandos. Maybe SEAL team 6, bit other than that. Total BS
@@jeremyfortune7274 Precisely. Seems like a lot jealous warriors who couldn’t cut BUD/S and become SEALS and instead start these asinine rumors that serve only to besmirch the reputation of a true warrior. When you ask them to provide proof to back up their assertions all you get are crickets.
Some new information just came out courtesy of the Antihero podcast. Apparently theres a drone feed of Marcus running away the whole time. When they found Matthew's body it looked like he had only been gone 1 or 2 days. This was 8 days after the fight. There was knowledge that SA-7 heat seeking missiles were in the area and thats likely what hit the helicopter. Very interesting stuff revealed by a former Seal.
Honestly I’ve alway had doubts about Marcus something never seemed right but neither does any Hollywood story around military and spying topics but if axle was alive on that mountain when Marcus was hiding in that hut he needs to be brought up and tried for desertion especially given his role in slowing down rescue operations saying everyone was dead (and yes I know the full penalty that a deserter can face when charged with it in a war zone) he admitted to deserting on national tv when he said he heard Murphy calling for him and he bolted
Luttrell was forced into the decision to save face on seals and the motto. Never leave a man behind. He ran while his buddies called for help. Nobody can tell you how it feels to go through what they do. But they shouldn't glorify that. But learn from it. Learn from the failures that day. The sa7 really gets me...
It's humbling to hear what these guys go through. God bless warriors like these putting everything on the line. I had a friend involved but never asked him any questions out of respect for him and his team. I'm nobody and had no right to ask anything because I don't know the story. These guys deal with hell on earth while politicians in Washington don't even remember and continue to stir the pot over there. I pray these kinda guys don't have to live through another one of Washington's forever wars. 🙏
Damn right whole thing is a big farce man. The actual book was written while Marcus was actively deployed. So many lies, so much propaganda. Blaming innocent goat herders for costly mistakes that SEALs made. Begging to be able to commit war crimes
Seems like they got dumpstered by about 8 tali and then made up a load of bullshit about a protracted firefight, the timings of communications just doesn't make sense otherwise.
@@JackHGUKyeah I don’t blame Marcus for running, he was fresh into gunfights, I believe he said it was his first one. I’m mad about the fact he lied to save his dignity, and lied to the families
@@Khvg-e4lI do if axel died because he deserted his team then lied about everyone being dead on the hill behind him he deserves to be brought up for deserting in a war zone especially if there’s a predator feed of it the admin on national tv is one thing hard evidence is another
You guys are the closest thing we have to Super Men, what you do is a big reason we still speak English on American soil. My great uncle Karlon is one of the men standing the flag up on Iwo Jima, I’m also a Navy brat born on Great Lakes Naval base, raised in Texas. So I know a little bit about what our great men and women leave out there for us, Love you guys and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
The many brave men who landed in Normandy on June 6 of 1944 plus the millions of Russians on the east flank are the main reason we're not speaking German. Unfortunately the history books in America ignore the valiant effort of the Russians.
I remember asking a dev guy I took a class from what was the truth about RW He said those dudes were advised by a tier one command it’s not a good op and that they shouldn’t go. They decided to go anyway. And there are sops in order so you don’t have to take a vote. And leaving a rope cut from the chopper by the crew was mission compromised from the get go. But they kept going anyway. Anything else you’d have to get from Marcus…that’s what he told me
Hello Shawn, I remember finding your channel many years ago when you were just talking by yourself in the woods. Look where you are now. Although I don’t agree with some of your guests’ point of view or the topics, I want to extend you a huge congratulations on your success and thank you for your shows. Keep up the awesome work
@@scottcoulter2751 Marcus's story makes no sense, has errors, flat out lies, and the navy commissioned a author to write the book to cover their asses
I love Shawn and the podcast I see all these other videos talking about the validity in some of the more famous stories I wish more people would come forward and corroborate publicly or denounce the stories
The fact that Marcus was able to like be up and actually talk about things is mindblowing. He was injured like really really bad. Having that brotherhood helps
Iv seen lone survivor. Buy I'm sure it was much worse in real life. The taliban really let those seals have it that day. Marcus's brother Morgan actually is in congress and he is a big proponent for border funding and security. And he's also for designating Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations
Marcus luttrell? His story is compromised. The Navy wrote the book and made the movie. His AAR and facts from others are telling. And don't like up with the book or the movie at all. Luttrell can't tell the truth, but hopefully one day will.
@@Doman3500 Latrell at least did admit on camera that he was a coward and he sat there put his weapon down and his hands over his ears while his friends called for help
SHAWN! Get some British special forces on!!! 1- CRAIG HARRISON 2- DAVE RADBAND Those two particularly! EXTRODINARY guys and unbelivable storys!!! Hardest guys alive!
All of the training in the world, all of the high tech gear in the world and some kid with an AK or an RPG can take out a few of the best of the best or down a chopper full of the best of the best, this is war! God Bless our Patriots and their families for all they sacrifice FOR US!
We all know why. Shawn most likely start to learn the details of it. There was a very early “podcast” of him, Rob O’Neil, and Marcus sitting by a fire talking though do “technically” he’s been on
It’s great hearing someone who seen Marc after and witnessed all his injuries when all these haters saying he got out unscathed and abandoned his team!
Yes he was scratched up from evading. He "Latrell" mentioned in an interview he bolted even as his teammate was asking for help. That is desertion. On his first OP he left his mates. Sure some may have already been killed but we know Axle lived and made it to the Rally point, but died from his wounds 7 or 8 days after the fighting. They delayed going in due to Latrell saying they were all dead. Saving face is all I hear now. The after action reports are sealed, but a few honorable soldiers have related it is hard to have a firefight with 20 or 30 enemy but return with full mags. HE walked onto the rescue vehicle. The findings there were 5 to 8 enemy. With Latrell deserting ... he could have made the difference in one or two of his mates lives if he did not cowardly run off. Scrapped himself up bad running with the fear and guilt. The look on his face when he tells the story is not PTSD. It is guilt .. lies ... cowardly actions. Sure that is a part of PTSD. The guilt we put on ourselves of surviving when others do not. Things that have to be done. HE did not have to run like a coward, but he did. The military could not have a Lone Survivor Coward so it was changed to Lone Survivor Hero. Many that have interviewed him seem to not want to hear the truth and then have to back peddle.
I'm a Devil Dog MoM & my Devil Dog is married to a fish eating, ball bouncer. She was stationed at Miramar & he had leave. They were eating dinner at a nice restraunt in Coranado with their 12 month old son. There were some new candidates for BUD/S & were being jerks about their son being there. Danny Dietz's dad came up to them & said don't mind those SOBs your son is very well mannered. At that time my daughter took the bib off & my grandson was wearing an Eagle, Globe & Anchor polo shirt. He turned to her husband and said something about him being a Marine. My son-in-law shook his head in the negative & then tilted his head to my daughter. His dad was surprised because she doesn't look like a woman Marine. Then he asked my son-in-law if he was military & he told him he was & then Danny's dad asked what he did. Danny's dad was wearing a shirt with a Trident on in it, so my son-in-law tapped his own chest, where the Trident would be, confirming he was a SEAL. Then Danny's dad introduced himself. They ended up sitting back down & having coffee. They both thought highly of the encounter and my Marine has been to the ceremony at Iwo Jima. She was the only active duty female and the survivors are still all Marine. They spent all of their time with the pretty blue eyed blonde Marine. She got to hear all of their stories and that is something she considers a high honor too.
Never apologize for telling your story, even if the dates are minorly off who gives a damn. Tell your story, tell your story, tell the damn story. We as a society need to hear these stories. You think those soldiers are out there arguing about who has more friends or Instagram followers? War is an ugly and terrible thing, but with that comes beauty. Beauty in the teamwork displayed, beauty in the relentlessness of everybody working to achieve a goal, beauty in the chaos. If these men and women can find beauty in war, we can find beauty in our daily lives going to school or working a 9-5, it’s really not that bad…

The whole “tip of the spear” status is disintegrating before our very eyes. So much coverup, so much lying, so much spin, so many book deals, and screenplays and speaking engagements … can’t the military force these guys to sign a contract stating they will keep their mouths’ shut?
Shit goes bad no matter how good you are. And just like any group of humans you have good and bad. Unfortunately they're hard to weed out.
I Served from 1983-89 and back then there were Non-Disclosures. If you spoke of anything you did publicly, you could be disavowed or worse. I wasn't with the Teams, but I was in a Rate that encountered them regularly.
Is there a way to get you to sign a contract to STFU? Serious question
I want Shawn to interview Shawn. I would like to hear his stories too
I would love to see an interview of Matt Axleson’s older brother.
Would love to hear what he was going through at the time of Redwings. It was three days after Matt’s birthday the day Matt died.
Thank you shawn love your shows .. thank all of you who have serviced god bless all of you great men . 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great podcast. We took the fight to them bigtime not long after and pasted them daily together side by side. Vet from UK
It’s so humbling to see some of the baddest warriors on the planet open up and talk about their real life experiences with loss and how they support one another. People too often forget soldiers are human too and the shit we don’t want to think about is the life they live. God bless
"Then we got to work" I believe he was saying we put the hurt on the bad guys
I still find it amazing that nobody mentions MAJ Steve Reich of the 160th. He was one of my LTs and not mentioned in the movie and the vast majority of discussions on this mission. Look him up. Great guy, pitcher, soldier.
The other two pilots were both friends of mine as well. They don’t get mentioned so I know how you feel. Great guys.
The coin toss reminds me of the 1959 WDP involving musicians Tommy Allsup and Ritchie Valens on who was gonna fly to the next gig instead of taking the bus.
I went through that same phase as infantryman, where something really shitty happened during deployment and I had to realize that I'm not invulnerable and that really bad things can happen.
Watched a good documentary, called '' The Lone survivor, the real story''. Luttrell set his Lawyers onto Gulab because he dared to question the honesty of Luttrells Hollywood story.
Antihero Podcast just put out a good episode on it... Completely changed the way I see a few things..
Unless you were there, I would hold up questioning anything or believing anything not told by the ONLY PERSON ALIVE THAT WAS THERE. There’s tons of jealous mofo’s that talk about this on podcasts even today all these years later that nit pick every detail the only peoblwm is they WERE NOT THERE!
@jeremyfortune7274 the thing is, Marcus said (it's on video) he threw his weapon down and ditched his buddies, he's a coward. The other guy Gulab scoffs at the books claims...it's clear what happened.
They got spanked by the Taliban, and the USA couldn't let the truth out. I'd have more respect for Marcus if he just owned it instead of lying.
I don't believe a word out of the mans mouth. Its clear that the SEAL teams are not even on par with British Para or Royal Marine Commandos. Maybe SEAL team 6, bit other than that. Total BS
@@frosty_sodaEveryone can get caught out. What happened with your SAS boys in the desert of Iraq?? Does that mean they are garbage?
@@jeremyfortune7274 Precisely. Seems like a lot jealous warriors who couldn’t cut BUD/S and become SEALS and instead start these asinine rumors that serve only to besmirch the reputation of a true warrior. When you ask them to provide proof to back up their assertions all you get are crickets.
Some new information just came out courtesy of the Antihero podcast. Apparently theres a drone feed of Marcus running away the whole time. When they found Matthew's body it looked like he had only been gone 1 or 2 days. This was 8 days after the fight. There was knowledge that SA-7 heat seeking missiles were in the area and thats likely what hit the helicopter. Very interesting stuff revealed by a former Seal.
I heard that. Don’t know the truth of the matter but The Antihero Podcast is underrated IMO.
Saw that too, I knew Kyle and that jocko guy were bags of shit but I was surprised by Luttrell.
Honestly I’ve alway had doubts about Marcus something never seemed right but neither does any Hollywood story around military and spying topics but if axle was alive on that mountain when Marcus was hiding in that hut he needs to be brought up and tried for desertion especially given his role in slowing down rescue operations saying everyone was dead (and yes I know the full penalty that a deserter can face when charged with it in a war zone) he admitted to deserting on national tv when he said he heard Murphy calling for him and he bolted
Luttrell was forced into the decision to save face on seals and the motto. Never leave a man behind. He ran while his buddies called for help. Nobody can tell you how it feels to go through what they do. But they shouldn't glorify that. But learn from it. Learn from the failures that day. The sa7 really gets me...
And zero evidence of any enemy KIA, and Marcus was found with full mags.
Very good interviewer. The Luttrell family lives just up the road from me, good family, good people from small town Willis, Texas.
What are locals saying about the controversy surrounding his actions?
@@terryt2728Crickets only, are speaking down in Willis.
Shawn is the worlds best listener!
YES….Shawn has one of the best shows on here. Great Job! Had some fake laying POS on here but it’s nor the fault of Shawn…great sit down always
I really wish Shawn would have asked the real story of what happened on that operation.
@@AmericanTLBN Tigers, not Gorillas.
Probably won’t hear the truth from seals on this story sadly lol
🙄
It's humbling to hear what these guys go through. God bless warriors like these putting everything on the line. I had a friend involved but never asked him any questions out of respect for him and his team. I'm nobody and had no right to ask anything because I don't know the story. These guys deal with hell on earth while politicians in Washington don't even remember and continue to stir the pot over there. I pray these kinda guys don't have to live through another one of Washington's forever wars. 🙏
You know , part of watching these podcast's is reviewing the comments....some are heart breaking !
Just think of how many military stories go untold
I remember a podcast where they interviewed the Ground Commander during the recovery/rescue and it was DEVGRU/ST6 in charge.
Shawn i love this OG interview room ! Than the new one !but are beautiful tho
The government would not allow the real truth on what actually happened in either the book or movie the public will never know whole truth
Damn right whole thing is a big farce man. The actual book was written while Marcus was actively deployed. So many lies, so much propaganda. Blaming innocent goat herders for costly mistakes that SEALs made. Begging to be able to commit war crimes
Seems like they got dumpstered by about 8 tali and then made up a load of bullshit about a protracted firefight, the timings of communications just doesn't make sense otherwise.
@@JackHGUKyeah I don’t blame Marcus for running, he was fresh into gunfights, I believe he said it was his first one. I’m mad about the fact he lied to save his dignity, and lied to the families
Its coming out now. Thats for sure.
@@Khvg-e4lI do if axel died because he deserted his team then lied about everyone being dead on the hill behind him he deserves to be brought up for deserting in a war zone especially if there’s a predator feed of it the admin on national tv is one thing hard evidence is another
Shawn you should shed light on all theses new things coming out about this
There's a cool interview of Shawn on the Mike Drop podcast. Share's a lot of fun stories.
Thank you for your service bro
As a retired combat veteran with twenty two years of service, the government communications are still screwed up. It will never change.
my words exactley damn!!!😮😮😮
You guys are the closest thing we have to Super Men, what you do is a big reason we still speak English on American soil. My great uncle Karlon is one of the men standing the flag up on Iwo Jima, I’m also a Navy brat born on Great Lakes Naval base, raised in Texas. So I know a little bit about what our great men and women leave out there for us, Love you guys and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
The many brave men who landed in Normandy on June 6 of 1944 plus the millions of Russians on the east flank are the main reason we're not speaking German. Unfortunately the history books in America ignore the valiant effort of the Russians.
“And then we got to work” 👊
I remember asking a dev guy I took a class from what was the truth about RW
He said those dudes were advised by a tier one command it’s not a good op and that they shouldn’t go. They decided to go anyway. And there are sops in order so you don’t have to take a vote. And leaving a rope cut from the chopper by the crew was mission compromised from the get go. But they kept going anyway. Anything else you’d have to get from Marcus…that’s what he told me
In hindsight. Life or death by a simple coin toss is crazy.
Hello Shawn, I remember finding your channel many years ago when you were just talking by yourself in the woods. Look where you are now. Although I don’t agree with some of your guests’ point of view or the topics, I want to extend you a huge congratulations on your success and thank you for your shows. Keep up the awesome work
The lies about Marcus Lattrell are out. No more scraping the gold off the Trident. Man up Ryan.
What do you mean??
@@scottcoulter2751 Marcus's story makes no sense, has errors, flat out lies, and the navy commissioned a author to write the book to cover their asses
@@scottcoulter2751 it was a bust
@@scottcoulter2751there is a predator drone feed of Luttrel running away from the fight.
@@theravagedgrapefruit8190really?…where to find?
I love Shawn and the podcast I see all these other videos talking about the validity in some of the more famous stories I wish more people would come forward and corroborate publicly or denounce the stories
I remember him from the discovery channel about BUDS 239…he was one of the instructors…..he was young back then
Thank you for your service, GOD bless LuV2u!
the story thats out now says Marcus survived by running away and hiding
The fact that Marcus was able to like be up and actually talk about things is mindblowing. He was injured like really really bad. Having that brotherhood helps
Iv seen lone survivor. Buy I'm sure it was much worse in real life. The taliban really let those seals have it that day. Marcus's brother Morgan actually is in congress and he is a big proponent for border funding and security. And he's also for designating Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations
He’s a fraud
had no injuries
had no injuries
Are these just clips of longer podcast episodes? I've seen a bunch of these clips but more would be cool
I wish Shawn Ryan would give his opinion on Luttrell and Red Wings.
He is a friend of Marcus..all the seals are friends of Marcus. You are sitting here acting like seals hate this guy when they don’t.
take a seat
@@gerhardt7731why are you speaking on Shawn you don’t know him no you have a seat 💺 clown 🤡
Thank you both for your service! God bless you your family's and America.
What's God got to do with it
@@trevorclark5138, everything.
"heads I win, tails you lose"... sounds predetermined to me
It's crazy, all my deployments it's always the spouses back home that always get the correct information. Every time.
I always wondered what the guy from Modern Family does in his free time
Great job. Thanks for your service fellas
" . . . and then we got to work." **Cue Death Metal and Skull Stacking**
AMAZING 👏
"And then we got to work..."
Hey Shawn when are you gonna have Marcus luttrell or Dakota meyers?
Shawn should get Marcus in here an give his interview
Marcus luttrell? His story is compromised. The Navy wrote the book and made the movie. His AAR and facts from others are telling. And don't like up with the book or the movie at all.
Luttrell can't tell the truth, but hopefully one day will.
@@Doman3500 Latrell at least did admit on camera that he was a coward and he sat there put his weapon down and his hands over his ears while his friends called for help
Never said that
@@williamstocker584yes he did I watched the interview when he said it. He talked about Murphy yelling for help when he did this
Shawn is great host! He is doing "Pashtunwalli" right!
SHAWN! Get some British special forces on!!!
1- CRAIG HARRISON
2- DAVE RADBAND
Those two particularly! EXTRODINARY guys and unbelivable storys!!! Hardest guys alive!
real men ! no words !
All of the training in the world, all of the high tech gear in the world and some kid with an AK or an RPG can take out a few of the best of the best or down a chopper full of the best of the best, this is war! God Bless our Patriots and their families for all they sacrifice FOR US!
All the technology in the world and they couldn't stop a plane from hitting the Pentagon 😂
@@kaybee9363 well, a plane didn't hit the pentagon
@@chhansen9813 sure did! Thats what the news told me
@@kaybee9363Im praying for you!
@@chhansen9813 to which God?.
Why has Shawn never done an official interview with Marcus?
We all know why. Shawn most likely start to learn the details of it.
There was a very early “podcast” of him, Rob O’Neil, and Marcus sitting by a fire talking though do “technically” he’s been on
That was a hell of funny one too lol@@Kaotix_music
He's right
...we all know why
It’s great hearing someone who seen Marc after and witnessed all his injuries when all these haters saying he got out unscathed and abandoned his team!
Yes he was scratched up from evading. He "Latrell" mentioned in an interview he bolted even as his teammate was asking for help. That is desertion. On his first OP he left his mates. Sure some may have already been killed but we know Axle lived and made it to the Rally point, but died from his wounds 7 or 8 days after the fighting. They delayed going in due to Latrell saying they were all dead. Saving face is all I hear now. The after action reports are sealed, but a few honorable soldiers have related it is hard to have a firefight with 20 or 30 enemy but return with full mags. HE walked onto the rescue vehicle. The findings there were 5 to 8 enemy. With Latrell deserting ... he could have made the difference in one or two of his mates lives if he did not cowardly run off. Scrapped himself up bad running with the fear and guilt. The look on his face when he tells the story is not PTSD. It is guilt .. lies ... cowardly actions. Sure that is a part of PTSD. The guilt we put on ourselves of surviving when others do not. Things that have to be done. HE did not have to run like a coward, but he did. The military could not have a Lone Survivor Coward so it was changed to Lone Survivor Hero. Many that have interviewed him seem to not want to hear the truth and then have to back peddle.
All his mags were full and he admitted to freezing up. It's not hating its just what happened.
All of the 4 man team was found with almost full mags.
Shawn Ryan & Joe Rogan… Two best podcast we have today‼️Hooyah
I'm a Devil Dog MoM & my Devil Dog is married to a fish eating, ball bouncer. She was stationed at Miramar & he had leave. They were eating dinner at a nice restraunt in Coranado with their 12 month old son. There were some new candidates for BUD/S & were being jerks about their son being there. Danny Dietz's dad came up to them & said don't mind those SOBs your son is very well mannered. At that time my daughter took the bib off & my grandson was wearing an Eagle, Globe & Anchor polo shirt. He turned to her husband and said something about him being a Marine. My son-in-law shook his head in the negative & then tilted his head to my daughter. His dad was surprised because she doesn't look like a woman Marine. Then he asked my son-in-law if he was military & he told him he was & then Danny's dad asked what he did. Danny's dad was wearing a shirt with a Trident on in it, so my son-in-law tapped his own chest, where the Trident would be, confirming he was a SEAL. Then Danny's dad introduced himself. They ended up sitting back down & having coffee. They both thought highly of the encounter and my Marine has been to the ceremony at Iwo Jima. She was the only active duty female and the survivors are still all Marine. They spent all of their time with the pretty blue eyed blonde Marine. She got to hear all of their stories and that is something she considers a high honor too.
Someone needs to fill in for Shawn Ryan and interview Shawn Ryan.
I liked how he turned a terribly sad defeat to. OK I'm here, what do we do now with a grin.
Never apologize for telling your story, even if the dates are minorly off who gives a damn. Tell your story, tell your story, tell the damn story.
We as a society need to hear these stories. You think those soldiers are out there arguing about who has more friends or Instagram followers?
War is an ugly and terrible thing, but with that comes beauty. Beauty in the teamwork displayed, beauty in the relentlessness of everybody working to achieve a goal, beauty in the chaos. If these men and women can find beauty in war, we can find beauty in our daily lives going to school or working a 9-5, it’s really not that bad…
