wow... the story about Sadam meeting Robin was amazing...FYI..I fought in the Iran-Iraq war as an Iranian soldier from 1986-88. I was 19 years old then. Fought against Iraqi republican guards on the southern front.
Mike, I’ve been tuning in for a long time. This was one of my favorite episodes. I loved hearing the Iraqi perspective. Fascinating stuff, keep up the great work!
@@DenKrauten Did your BS meter go off? I got a feeling that this guy is just a wee bit light on the pilot jargon? Almost seems like he is telling somebody else's story. Maybe it's the rather simple minded smiling and giggling, but he just doesn't seem to have what should be the look of seriousness on his face. I kind of get the impression he was not being honest about his feelings toward the US before and even after the US invasion. If the only source of news is from Iraq, is he saying that there was favorable news toward the US? He said most Iraq people supported the US invasion. How would he even know that? Who would be so dumb to say anything pro American, if it meant an immediate execution? I think Mike was getting a little suspicious too. He asked for a copy of that letter he claimed his lawyer was holding. Who gives an important letter proving your story to your attorney and doesn't have another copy? I wonder if he ever got that letter?
Mike I love your show!!! You are the most down to earth person I have ever watched!!! I look forward to every episode thanks for the amazing interviews!!! I hope your channel will grow as it should!!!!
Another top notch interview by Mike Ritland. I come for the war stories BUT I find the early life talk (and comparison to my own) to be thought provoking and very eye opening. Thanks again Mike!
I had the pleasure of working with a nice young man and his wife that grew up in Baghdad in the late 90's under Sadam, and lived there until 2012. They had very interesting stories.
ABSOLUTELY loved that interview Mike as always you just point where you knock it out of the park and you nail it. I laughed and smiled the whole way through amazing man amazing life Flight officer Mohammed Sulaiman id let that man fly my planes any time Semper Fi
Just seeing Mike be able to go through a part of history that was very challenging for him with a man that saw things as an Iraqi citizen was so good to see. I hope this fills in pieces to his internal puzzle.
I wonder if Mike was convinced that this guy was legit? Mike asked him for the letter to put on display, I think he was trying to verify this guys stories. The puzzle is made even more strange when he makes the claim that Iraqi people were not enemies of the US. Those people had no choice, either they spewed hate to America or they got a bullet to the brain. Where would they even get positive info on the US?
Damn Brother! I Love the interesting people you have on here . Also some are pretty easy on the eyes too like this Pretty lady here and Nikki Selby .sorry my Navy side is rearing its head ...lol Great Show ! Keep up the guests with wild life stories!
Wow unique interesting interviewee. Now you need to get Sadaam. Oh no never mind. Your videos are worth waiting for the quality of guests you speak with.
Thank you so much Mike for your continued service. May God bless you, your family, our servicemen, our veterans, Mr. Mohammed and Lauren, and the United States of America!!!
Once again Mike comes through with a fascinating interview. Such an interesting story . That being said , not sure why you needed to have the chick on the podcast other than she was eye candy.
I really enjoyed this interview....See if you can get the Iranian pilot named Faraydoon Izadsetah...He is the one that planned the surprise Iranian airforce attack at the Iraqi airbase called H3..great story
Mr Rabin was Israel PM 1974-1977 and 1992-1995 and that pilot is big liar and if you want to know the truth we are happy to contact you and that pilot was never be in presidential airplane crew ever. Thanks
Excited for this on Mr Mic Drop.Odd question for ya but here it goes,where u get that hat? Seen ya wear a couple different colores of same hat.So as Mike Ritland would say “ Where’s a fuckin guy get one?
The book is full of lies he said he flying sadaam Hussein in 1996 to meet Rabin pm of Israel but mr Rabin was killed in November 4 , 1995 , so how can we believe ( chapter 5, page 85 ) Chapter 3 page 41 he mentioned he flew to Mogadishu in 1987 during coup but the truth is there is no coup happened in Somali republic from 1969 to 1991 , so how we believe that happened! He is deceived you but not deceived the truth.
Further proof that it is rarely the "actual people" of a country that we have differences with. It is almost always the leadership. (And that goes both ways, most likely.) I am not a wilting flower who believes everything would be okay if we were just nicer to each other. There are evil people in the world and they need to be dealt with. But although I am a very proud American, I find myself wondering what would happen if we got less involved in the affairs of others. Would the people of Iraq have dealt with their dictator if the US hadn't? What about the people of Russia? I don't know these answers. And I am fully aware that the American government has had a direct hand in the toppling of multiple leaders around the globe. I hope for a day when none of us need to pick up rifles anymore, in order to carry out the orders from a "commander in chief" who may or may not have the best interests of people in mind.
I was a kid when I saw them hang sodam and even I knew that was fake. He dropped a couple feet and the camera looks away. They've been hanging people long enough to know how far it takes to break a neck. His neck didn't break and he wasn't strangled.

I stopped in to see if I read that title correctly. Mr. Mike is on another level.
This is a great interview, Mike.
Thanks man.
Lauren is an absolute dime piece.
Well said.
What’s a full name, I like to follow her on Twitter.
@@MrStevenvb12 Lauren Ungeldi.
Yes she is
What does that mean?
Mike, I’ve been tuning in for a long time. This was one of my favorite episodes. I loved hearing the Iraqi perspective. Fascinating stuff, keep up the great work!
My thoughts too really enjoyed this one
How the hell do you find these people? As always, keep up the good work Mike!
He just wrote a book so he's looking for publicity. People like that are not hard to find but Mike picks and chooses wisely
Connections
Well he wrote a book.... what more info do you need?
At the bar

Man, you have such a wide range of exciting and accomplished guests! This is great stuff!
Mohammed if you read this comment PLEASE stop watching CNN
Facks! FOX news or in my case, no media.
Stop watching all mainstream media
Please stop watching CNN, MSNBC or any main stream media. It is no different than the propaganda of state TV under Saddam.
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯👍
CNN international is pretty different.
What a great guest, I absolutely loved this episode. His story is so unique and fascinating and I am very happy that he likes it here in the US.
I had the pleasure of working with a nice young man and his wife that grew up in Baghdad in the late 90's under Sadam, and lived there until 2012. They had very interesting stories.
Mike fantastic Job putting this interview together. Thank you for all your hard work getting this in video form.

Mike you absolutely have the best content! Excellent, and thank you for sharing
Thank you, Mike... Great episode.
This lady is smokin' !!!
Ritland has had a few hot ones one his show. Solid tactics. Dude knows how to keep a bunch of guys watching.
I was 14 in 2003. Coming up always told walls have ears and you must say father saddam hussein and have to say (May God protect him) afterwards.
Yikes. We are on our way to the same nightmare, here, I’m afraid.

Once again Mike comes through with a fascinating interview. Such an interesting story . That being said , not sure why you needed to have the chick on the podcast other than she was eye candy.
Can you do an interview for the guys who did the operation that killed his sons ?
I wanna know more about that
Absolutely fascinating
I really enjoyed this interview....See if you can get the Iranian pilot named Faraydoon Izadsetah...He is the one that planned the surprise Iranian airforce attack at the Iraqi airbase called H3..great story
Excellent brother
Holy shit mike! Leave it to you well done sir. 🙏🇺🇸💪

Mr Rabin was Israel PM 1974-1977 and 1992-1995 and that pilot is big liar and if you want to know the truth we are happy to contact you and that pilot was never be in presidential airplane crew ever.
Thanks
That very true Iraq VIP. Airplanes never flew after 1991 never that pilot was big lier
Lauren looks straight out of a Bond movie, wow

Good man....
The book is full of lies he said he flying sadaam Hussein in 1996 to meet Rabin pm of Israel but mr Rabin was killed in November 4 , 1995 , so how can we believe ( chapter 5, page 85 )

The real pilot flew the squadron 53 for VIP still alive that guy is big liar Iraq didn’t have airplanes flying after 1991 for ViP
Saddam is misspelled in the title. Awesome episode though.
You know yoh van DM me anytime Lauren Ungeldi.❤️🔥
Good podcast, but I cant keep my eyes of the woman.

Hmm weird. You could buy guns anywhere with no oversight. And yet little crime....
If more authors liked like Lauren, young guys may read more.

That pilot seems like a great guy and a good pilot...But he a bad story teller...Now that red head, I see a lot of stories in her eyes.. 🤣...
I'd go flying with Lauren, wherever she wanted to go. She's cute asf
Cute!? Lauren is a perfectly executed, high-performance masterpiece!
So many guys simping for Lauren in the comments. Lol.
Believe me, I get it.
Who is she
Badr Corps is/was an Iranian sponsored organization and there was an organized campaign to kill pilots from the Iran-Iraq war.
