All the best operators started their careers in the 75th Ranger Regiment!! "RLTW"

27:56 Argh...what a good opportunity that was to ask the lad how he feels about participating (?) in a Bosnian war on the side of Muslims/Jihadists and noticing a surge in 'foreign fighters' from literally all over the world, namely fighters of one Bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, among others. How did former US allies in Bosnia in Kosovo became the archenemy and how Serbs managed to screw up so hard that US allied with Al Qaeda is one of the incredible ironies of late 20th c. and beyond...

Interesting

[@drummachine5787]

Charlie Wilson’s war kinda explains this question

[@martbau25]

That's an accomplished dude

[@billcarpenter5145]

Is Brad Thomas , also known at Kenny Thomas , who had a band called corn bread

[@nobodyspecial7185]

Different guy same unit same battle

[@seanm7539]

Yeah

[@Richard-lu8ck]

Dude, I'm not gonna lie.. making that call to get the Ranger Liaison to visit your son in basic is legit the most Hooah thing I've ever heard. He could have easily gotten caught up in big Army bureaucracy and been royally fucked over. Well played.

[@Danyello_0]

David homestead it’s time for better sound equipment, you deserve it…

[@frankcastle4435]

Brad looks like he is in his late 20’s 👀.

[@G4x5da]

No he’s not. He’s trying too look like a 25yo

[@usaf1804]

@@G4x5daWow, pussy much? Dude’s in his groove, and yeah, he’s not in appearance as some of us that served there, the Baltics and other areas. Good hair, good skin, and the troops exposed to the burn pits in the sand box are affected as agent orange in Nam. You have issues bro, and not ptsd, more like pms or pmsnbc …

[@MassimoPiacere]

​@@G4x5dahe looks good though

[@robertmclaughlin9472]

Title should be changed. Don't recall him discussing any horrors.

[@ClericChris]

Brad looks like he had to have been about 8 during BHD.

Dont get me wrong I'm not criticizing this vet but America populations didn't get what couse the war misunderstanding somali people their minds set was. First 1993 somali they didn't had foreigner terrorists i believed its around 1998 or 1999 wheen they start come in somali the terrorists put a side that. lets talk what cause the biggest mistake was made by united nation who do not know what they are doing and united state military soldiers paid there life because somalia was going civil war. United nation they took side and declared aidid was enemy that was biggest mistake also usa government the politicians Screw up military aidid son was in military he was serving in somalia that time aidid him self was educated individual he was general and Diplomatic one time he was somali ambassador in inda i believe all that war could've been prevented if united nation didn't took side and declare aidid enemy number one and united state politicians repeated or flow there wrong policy but there was no international terrorists in somalia 1993. The people who was fighting war they were all somali citizen they were somali clan base opposition the idea terrorist come to somalia later start around 1998
