After watching most of his videos, I've found Mike to be extremely intelligent. He is a great interviewer as well. We need more men like him in the spotlight, as leaders.
@Free Thinker you're going to have to defend that charge with some evidence. I've watched about half of his podcasts, and seen nothing on his part that exhibited evidence to support that sort of accusation.
@Free Thinker I dont have the time right now to go in to the first one, but as far as the military being there to kill people, he's saying we shouldn't be doing half the stuff we are doing, which is less war and involvement. Having the mind that war is a nasty business will cause people to stop using war as a means to advance a political agenda. If it was always full blown hunt and kill every single person involved in a terrorist organization, the public would be less likely to get involved with needless crap. As far as having no ramifications for war crimes, I can guarantee you he doesn't believe that. He's keeping his standard as stated above. Deviating from that and killing innocent people would not be acceptable by him and hes said as much. As far as eddie Gallagher goes, you'd have to look in to the entire case before calling him a war criminal. The dude was present when an ISIS fighter died. He didn't kill him, but even if he did this goes back to his original point. Do you know how many times these full-blown terrorists are captured and then released because of politics? Either get out of the region, or take the murderers that are committing genocide and execute them with a quickness instead of catch and release
@Free Thinker I guess you got me in; at 6:00 he explicitly says, in context, that it would be taking too far back to the old school to condone what happened to his grandfather. To make an observation, as he did, doesnt mean he condones the point. I definitely wouldn't be cool with letting soldiers kill allies in bar fights, but like with anything, consideration has to be made to the circumstances at play. Life is fragile. Someone can hit you, you hit them back, they fall, and never wake up. You call him a war criminal. You may disagree with his observations and opinions, but to call him a war criminal is too far. The man put his life on the line and served his country in whatever capacity it required. He's seen things, and is privy to things that would likely change your mind if you were to experience and see the same.
@@dest1037 you realize Beverly is a female name, right? Irrespective of sex, Mike is a straight forward, no bullshit kind of man; qualities that can be admired by both male and female individuals. How, though, did you equate a person with a female name calling Mike sexy as homosexual? You have me befuddled.
@ you sound ignorant. I mean that in the literal translation of the word. Aside from the normal mental health issues associated with suicide (with the psychological comorbidities of bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, addiction, and other personality disorders), PTSD for veterans is the result of terrifying traumatic events. You may be able to use your imagination to supply a terrifying event one may suffer during war time operations. The key word associated with PTSD is TRIGGER. The fact that an individual suffers from PTSD does not mean they are in a 100% state of PTSD at all hours of the day or night. There are triggers that can put them in a mental state. Perhaps they were struck by an IED while in a convoy and they were listening to their favorite song right before the IED detonated. Now, if they hear that favorite song on the radio it TRIGGERS memories of that traumatic and terrifying moment when they lost two of their battle buddies and their left leg. These thoughts then roll into the questions most soldiers have at these times: "Why didn't I see the IED?"; "Why did my brothers die, but I lived?"; "How will my wife still love me when I can't run and play with the kids like the other fathers?"; "What could I have done to save them?" These thought patterns lead to dark places. Places I can tell jackasses like you have never seen and could not compute. So instead of being a keyboard warrior and talking shit about a veteran being a coward for committing suicide when they are suffering from PTSD, go to your local VFW and say that to a veterans face. You sit behind your computer or on your phone and talk out of your ass, wrapped in the protection of anonymity. If you're ever in the San Antonio area, head on in to VFW post 76. I'll buy you your first shot of liquid courage. We can discuss your ideas cowardice at your leisure. Sincerely, Just Another Smith U.S. Army '95-01
I was fascinated at clear, concise way Mike explained how dog thinks and how to train them. I also appreciate the no BS approach mike took to answering questions, and that he never backed down or wavered when pushed...real mans man
I was a Russian Linguist from 84-92. While I was in the military tried "no stress" basic training. They could only drop for x number of push-ups during any given day. No foul language and several other changes. Out of that cycle of basic training, over 80% either recycled or were put out of the service. War is hell and we have to train like we are at war.
Valuetainment - you are lately one of the best thing not only on YT, also on the whole net... Your content is something to aspire to in the world of journalism... thanks!
I’m no expert but my dog is so way beyond A+B=C. He’s intuitive and pragmatic and definitely has a sense of “self” even recognizing himself in a mirror and emotional responses to videos I’ve taken of our interactions on my phone.
Hey Valuetainment, this is an incredible Channel. Thank you so much for doing this. The guest gave me the Chills. How amazing and smart answers he gave. Much love from Danmark. 🦾
I listened to what I perceive as the top Mike Drop Podcast episodes in the last few days alone, so this is perfect. Mike Ritland is a cool guy. Thank you!
I believe David this is arguably the best interview Pod Cast i have seen in a While, not that they are all bad because they are are all good what makes the difference for me is the Content, whom is Interviewed, also allowing the Person to go at speaking telling the story.
Really enjoyed this interview. A true Patriot. Being from the rescue community (cats) he has a valid perspective to help solve our problem of over run shelters.
This is easily one of the BEST interviews from both parties I have ever watched. So much truth is spoken here and it makes it really sad to watch what is happening to this once great country. And this is coming from an immigrant who's father busted his house to create a wonderful life for his family.
Male/female divisions vs co-Ed integration. I was a sailor for five years. There is so much truth in this discussion. This conversation is so honest and hot it scares liberal snowflakes. Strategic war fighting for the military should always preceded the political controls over the military. Sun Tzu - Know thy enemy. Because we are so polarized and politically divided, our enemies see the cracks/gaps of distraction and infiltrate our weaknesses. We have to stop widening the base. It’s not sexist, it is strategically ineffective.
You need to stop the "SNOWFLAKE SHIT". I was with you until you said that. I'm neither Dem or Rep. I have no label other than seeker of truth as gray an area as that can be. Zeros and Ones are for the mentally underdeveloped. STOP THE LABELING!!!! You lose your good points.
Well said! As a personal trainer it is black and white.....no matter how strong a woman can become, we don't have the physiology to acquire the physiological strength of a male! Simple science 😵 Please God, bring back common sense to this country!
I've never been so impressed with any of your guests as much after I watched this guy...man ...more of this...and don't lick Chinese door knobs....Mike write a book I'll buy it
@@jasonjewell4199 I have and Jocko too, and they are good as well, but I like these guys' style a little better, so it was cool to see them together. Thanks for the recommendation though, regardless. They are all great podcasters.
Mike is the man! Talking so nonchalantly about taking down those oil platforms. These guys expected to not come back, intelligent said that they were rigged blow. Extraordinary human beings quite amazing people.
I love the top tier special ops guys because they take no prisoners with how they look at things. I felt the same way he does when it came time for me to either continue going to college or re-enlist in the military in the early 90's. I do not know if I would have wanted to deal with how the Army standards had changed. I served at the time when the old Army of Vietnam changed to the previous military of the Cold War. I loved it. I would have never changed a thing about what I want through with BASIC. Mentally I was prepared to deal with the stress of combat from how I was trained.
Mike Ritland a hero and hell of a idle for every young man in America!! It’s very nice to hear logic and brains in our country you don’t hear much of anymore. I love my country and care about same issues like him. Patriots is what makes this country so awesome!! Government is trying to steer our youth away from that type thinking. God and Country!! ❤️
Stumbled across your TH-cam channel interview with Dennis Prager and am now a Subscriber. Outstanding interviews from in-the-now-people. 22 year 1SG retired Army Veteran so hearing you were a Veteran also adds to the discussion points you bring as with Brigadier General Robert Spalding. Keep up the great work as you have just gained a loyal watcher especially since I am Teleworking...
Only 20 mins in and I am loving this guy!! He is so BANG on with everything when it comes to women being in any special ops with a group that is 99% male. Women should be in their own group at all times. From having a separate bathroom to menstrual cycles it is a huge problem in a man's world. Once you add vagina you have a pack of wolves that can smell that cycle a mile away and they will fight for it. The first one to poke it wins and then everyone else is pissed and problems start. From the guys that are trying to include the female to the guys that have a problem with her. So many more problems when you put both sexes in any military setting. This coming from a woman that dances circles around the men in my field. So glad I'm not in any type of combat or ops position.
Lol "dance circles around men" it must be that easy when lots of men put a woman on a pedestal isn't it? It's realistic and pathetic. He also mentioned adding another women is that at this level skill can be a momentary life or death moment
The variety of the individuals in the content that is discussed on your platform it’s so refreshing. I’ve worn many hats in my life in the most interesting story of all is usually standing right next to you and you don’t even know it. Love your work. See you in the next video
Mike 🇺🇸 Love this guy, been listening to the podcast for years..hes such a great dude. All the awesome stories from real american heros, from nick irving to shawn ryan and the many many other outstanding people. Thanks mike 👍👍
Strange watching this at the end of 2022. I've purchased two of Mr. Ritland's books and I understand this interview took place two years ago, but the part about COVID-19 being not much worse than the flu really made me shake my head. I agree with pretty much everything else Mr. Ritland said in the interview.
Patrick, you're one of the best on here & made an excellent decision bringing Mike on! I've been following his work for a number of years now. Wonderful interview per usual.
God only remembers how may dogs I have had and everyone who has died of old age or an incurable sickness over the past 51+ plus years. I have always swore I would never have another one but I still do they are the most amazing friends that anyone could have.
Amen Mike Ritland , women don’t belong in special ops , esp the seal team and the high standards that come with it . Thank you sir for your DEDICATED service.🇺🇸
That's weak and cliche'. Men like this are far better doing what they do best. 'Should be the President' is a mentality that comes out of a weak generation. The Presidency is a kiss ass job....Stop tearing down good men by equating them to junk.
@Tory Mazurowski Just because someone say something we like doesn't mean they are the best for a job. There are a lot of politicians that say things we like.....do you think we have bad politicians?
@Tory Mazurowski I can imagine you have a lot of time on your hands but Dude, there's a pandemic going on in the world. At the moment, I don't give a fuk. Peace.
@BenchPressing & Blunts No you are , like as was stated just because a person says what you want to hear doesn't mean you give them the keys to the castle.
This is the first time I have heard anyone publicly admit how I have always believed we should fight in war. When we were allowed to get it done, we did. But, when we were not allowed, nothing got done except a lot of unnecessary damages.
I've never seen anyone else, without a college degree, with this level of clarity in both language usage and effective communication skills. I was waiting for when Pat was going to drop the bomb with a similar idea, and was relieved when he did at about the 1:28:40.
Mike buddy i am sure happy to hear finally somebody in the Pod Cast and or Talk Show people who either don’t have the stones to tell the truth because nobody else has the stones to say what you are saying. Even the Pod Cast host even cant go where you are going knowing good and well he knows the truth with his back ground in the Airborne Services, So I applaud you brother..
@Free Thinker you are an idiot. You're still an American. And you should respect the country that you were born into. Patriotism isn't an evil word. And frankly a lot of the problems we have today is because people arent very patriotic.
@@johnathanera5863 where I grew up when I was growing up, you were taught to respect people and love your country, Americans hating their country is about the long information warfare you have not been fighting you did not even know you were at war so you were losing from the beginning, I love my country, and I love the USA the hard working people of this country, people who wake up everyday with to give their families a better future that is being destroyed because we have been to busy, not recognizing that your leaders turned their backs on you long time ago.
Mike Ritland is freaking awesome, love his channel and his prospective on everything super smart, love his attitude like tell it how it is type of guy and that’s how I am... loved the interview
Whoever is reading this and being haunted by your past, mistakes and regrets. Your past cannot define who you are. You are stronger in mind and will overcome. Focus on what's ahead of you. You can do this. Believe
I follow both of these guys and Pat missed some important questions. Mike is an interesting guy, he didn’t really pick his brain as much as I’d wished he would (i.e. his childhood, more seal team stories, personal life, etc.)
I went to school and played football with Greg Ammon. Cmdr Ammon, I believe now. He was a big K-9 dude and I think still is. Always will be. He was last I heard working OC SD. I sure wish I had made it through. Fact is I did everything I could to get back to Buds. Scott Ashby and I went in before Carl Roman and others. Scott did SDV-1 and I did pilot rescue. The issue for me it was not what I wanted or needed to be doing. I trained for my time in Buds to be a SEAL. Anyway, I spent 20 years in civilian life doing volunteer rescue work and commercial diving, and so on. I have proven to myself, if called upon, I would answer the call loud and clear. Great interview and yes, the only easy day was yesterday. That is a living truth.
After watching most of his videos, I've found Mike to be extremely intelligent. He is a great interviewer as well. We need more men like him in the spotlight, as leaders.
You need to be book smart to be a leader though and preferably have some form of education.
@Free Thinker exactly and he is doing it for the money. He is basically what they call a secario. WW2 vets were the real soldiers.
@Free Thinker you're going to have to defend that charge with some evidence. I've watched about half of his podcasts, and seen nothing on his part that exhibited evidence to support that sort of accusation.

Finally an American that says it as it is
Says how he thinks it is
Americans*
It would take a non political military man too
Amen
I love his sense of humor and how he can flow through topics. Mike seems like he could be calm, collected, and comfortable in any situation.
Also what makes men like him dangerous "in a good way" or military wise. You cant read their emotions!
Because he was trained to be calm, cool and collected under the ABSOLUTE extreme conditions.
23:47 "you can't have feelings that have the ability to be injured"
Best line ever
I'm a huge fan of Mike's podcasts, its glad to see him on other side.
Same here
@cybrscot lol he is too 😂👍
Watch the two parts, 6hrs total podcast with Shawn Ryan👌🏼
Mike Ritland is the Truth, I like this interview, he is very straight-forward, this guy is so Alpha it made dog stuff interesting....very solid
Although I agree with some stuff about the PC culture but I hope he isn't coming from the angle of being openly racist etc
straight forward af! He doesn't use unnecessary word at all... and all people in leader positions should talk like this...

This guy is the most real person I have ever seen, with balls of steel and extreme wisdom. I am extremely impressed
I don't know why but you can just feel an aura by looking at battle hardened veterans
Yea when i went too metaphysics they demanded respect and if i didn't give it they would've took it from me classics recondition
I think it's the calmness that certain ones exude, mostly because after the shit they've seen, nothing is likely to rattle them.

Hero in what sense we are not in a war. All these countries Iraq, Afghanistan don't even have an army. The WW2 vets are real heroes.
@Free Thinker yes perhaps
@Free Thinker The real heroes were the ww1/2 vets. They fought a real war with an enemy as strong as they were.

Amen Mike Ritland , women don’t belong in special ops , esp the seal team and the high standards that come with it . Thank you sir for your DEDICATED service.🇺🇸
Waited awhile to see this one great to see him on the other side
Ritland is a stand-up guy and I really enjoy listening to him. Always!
Always good to hear mike... best human being
This guy needs to be our new president 💯
That's weak and cliche'. Men like this are far better doing what they do best. 'Should be the President' is a mentality that comes out of a weak generation. The Presidency is a kiss ass job....Stop tearing down good men by equating them to junk.
@Tory Mazurowski Just because someone say something we like doesn't mean they are the best for a job. There are a lot of politicians that say things we like.....do you think we have bad politicians?
@Tory Mazurowski I can imagine you have a lot of time on your hands but Dude, there's a pandemic going on in the world. At the moment, I don't give a fuk. Peace.
@BenchPressing & Blunts No you are , like as was stated just because a person says what you want to hear doesn't mean you give them the keys to the castle.
Eeeeeeeeepic! I love mike drop podcast! Awesome patrick! I havent even listened to this yet but i know its gonna be awesome!
Finally someone who knows how to say etcetera!
@BitchesKnowAbout MuhPatriarchy ex-etera
I’ve never heard anyone mispronounce it.
This is the first time I have heard anyone publicly admit how I have always believed we should fight in war. When we were allowed to get it done, we did. But, when we were not allowed, nothing got done except a lot of unnecessary damages.
Mike is a solid dude. His podcast (Mike Drop) is killer. Thanks for the interview.
Love mikes podcast already, so seeing him on here is awesome, can't believe I didn't see this earlier
I've never seen anyone else, without a college degree, with this level of clarity in both language usage and effective communication skills. I was waiting for when Pat was going to drop the bomb with a similar idea, and was relieved when he did at about the 1:28:40.
Two of my favorite podcast hosts! Nice to wake up to see this while all the craziness is going on.
Mike buddy i am sure happy to hear finally somebody in the Pod Cast and or Talk Show people who either don’t have the stones to tell the truth because nobody else has the stones to say what you are saying. Even the Pod Cast host even cant go where you are going knowing good and well he knows the truth with his back ground in the Airborne Services, So I applaud you brother..
When I was in eighth grade we had to stand up in class each one of us and recite the Declaration of Independence. I guess those days are gone.
Looooong gone! Pledge of allegiance as well. Really effing sad & maddening!
For us it was the preamble to the Constitution, New Orleans Catholic Archdiocese Class of 1995.
@Free Thinker you are an idiot. You're still an American. And you should respect the country that you were born into. Patriotism isn't an evil word. And frankly a lot of the problems we have today is because people arent very patriotic.
@@johnathanera5863 where I grew up when I was growing up, you were taught to respect people and love your country, Americans hating their country is about the long information warfare you have not been fighting you did not even know you were at war so you were losing from the beginning, I love my country, and I love the USA the hard working people of this country, people who wake up everyday with to give their families a better future that is being destroyed because we have been to busy, not recognizing that your leaders turned their backs on you long time ago.
Mike Ritland is freaking awesome, love his channel and his prospective on everything super smart, love his attitude like tell it how it is type of guy and that’s how I am... loved the interview
What a brilliant, insightful man.
We need more thoughts and beliefs like Mike nowadays
Good interview Pat, great choice on having Mike. The guy has a admirable estoic character.
Watch his podcast MikeDrop. It is amazing. Thank you for your service Mike, you're a hero and Patriot!
what a good podcast! love hearing Mike's perspective on things.
I agree with Mike 100%........ He is saying what most of us believe
Whoever is reading this and being haunted by your past, mistakes and regrets. Your past cannot define who you are. You are stronger in mind and will overcome. Focus on what's ahead of you. You can do this. Believe
Go away
A pedophile is a pedophile, there us no changing or accepting anything other then that ....
I may tick a good many off, but I 100% agree with him on women & military and on others in service.
Great interview.
Awesome interview!! Absolutely loved this!!
Awesome interview, you do an amazing job of interviewing your guests.
I follow both of these guys and Pat missed some important questions. Mike is an interesting guy, he didn’t really pick his brain as much as I’d wished he would (i.e. his childhood, more seal team stories, personal life, etc.)
I agree with Mike on Politics! Thank you Mike for your service! I support our Military! Thank you Patrick for your Service! God Blless & be safe!
This has to be the interview with the best intro of all
I agree with Pat, loved this guy!
Definitely on my top 5 list for favorite PBD interviews 🇺🇸
Bet Davis is an example that anyone can make it in America with hard work regardless of intelligence or morals.
He needs to make a run for president
Apart from knowledge and being a complete badass, he's got such a great voice that he can work at Jazz radio station
Clarity of thought, succinct in his expressions. Time well spent watching this video. Bam
I went to school and played football with Greg Ammon. Cmdr Ammon, I believe now. He was a big K-9 dude and I think still is. Always will be. He was last I heard working OC SD. I sure wish I had made it through. Fact is I did everything I could to get back to Buds. Scott Ashby and I went in before Carl Roman and others. Scott did SDV-1 and I did pilot rescue. The issue for me it was not what I wanted or needed to be doing. I trained for my time in Buds to be a SEAL. Anyway, I spent 20 years in civilian life doing volunteer rescue work and commercial diving, and so on. I have proven to myself, if called upon, I would answer the call loud and clear. Great interview and yes, the only easy day was yesterday. That is a living truth.
Mike ritland is a G 😍
