Not to brag or anything (joking obviously) but when I was 17 (30s now) I was a high school dropout doing meth with some brothers in an MC. No exaggeration, sounds insane but Its sad and true: SEVERAL TIMES I stayed awake no sleep no laying down no nap for 17 plus day stints. Working in the shop, working the whole time. Weeks at a time with not even a 5 minutes nap. Just UP. Then I’d sleep 2-3 days and be up for another 2-3 weeks. Everyone else would be awake 3- sleep 3 sort of thing… I had no tap on the line though and that’s back when it was anhydrous. I can’t understand how someone can stay awake and work without that stuff like these navy seals do in Hell Week. Bravo Sirs!
Being in the military. My fear is how do I function without an insane demand for your time, dedication, and skill. I fear dressing myself and working at a slow pace. I'm in my element during stress and chaos. When things are calm I'm to on edge. I hope one day I can see the beauty in calm.
"I am incredibly tough"....sir, that is the understatement of the century. What a true warrior this man is. Thank you so much for your service and your sacrifice.
Lol. This clown was killing outgeared and outnumbered and out trained armed civilians, women, and children. You this is something to look up to? You think this is tough?
Sacrifice for what exactly? Youre goverment brainwashed young guys to do war for tjem to profit, paying with taxpayers money... And now the Taliban are in charge of afghanistan again.....
@@genocasson6231 say something meaningful to refute what I am saying or be quiet. Read some facts. Read about abu ghareib. And guantanamo. And the leeked videos by wikileaks showing helicopters gunning down civilians.
I am an old Vietnam Veteran. Spent 8 years in the US Army and separated when my kids came of school age because I wanted them to enjoy a stable education that I experienced in South Dakota. I joined the Police Department on a Hire the Vet program and spent 24 years as a cop. My wife and I got to the age of retirement, as I neared that age, I experienced a line of duty car accident that put me on permeant retirement. Then, within a 7 month period, I lost my Brother-in-law, 2 sisters, my partner from the Police Department, my Next door neighbor and the last in this train wreck of my life was the love of my life, my wife who stood by my side for 51 years and 3 days. To say the least, I am a bit depressed, it has been 2 years since that time, Workers Comp cut my pay in half telling me I reached retirement age, and my daughter has moved in with me to cook and clean when she has time as she works full time as well to pay off her student debts. Listening to you has given me a dose of stamina, recalling my days as a soldier, so I wanted to say Thanks man! I had been looking forward for the end that must surely come soon, I yearn for that day when I can once again be surrounded by my loved ones, I still have Mom, who is now 96 and suffering in the nursing home from her second hit from Covid, and a great grandson I have yet to hold as travel is a bit difficult now as workers comp cut my pain meds from a large dose of Fentanyl to nearly the lowest dose available, and the pain has returned to nearly the last of 5 surgeries I have gone through. I think if I can just get out and do some walking I may be able to get up and going once more.
Oh my goodness.. you've been through an absolute ton. You, yourself, are an idle to those seeking strength.. you're an idle to me, even though I may not know you. I know you will be happy. You deserve to be. I pray for your losses..
Thanks for being transparent, and thank you for your service. Look to Christ when you’re feeling down, you’re the apple of God’s eye. God bless brother
First off, I want to thank you for a life of service to a people who were and still are not as appreciating as they should be. you have faced so much and as of recent even more... I just want to say thank you. my prayers are with you and your family, and I hope that you are blessed with comfort and a drive to continue. I may never get to meet you in person, but as I have tears in my eyes writing this, just know that I owe you so much more than a handshake is ever worth.
“I remember thinking stand-by, cuz he’s coming.” So bad ass. This just makes me want to donate to the wounded warrior foundation. We don’t do enough for our veterans 🙏
I don't know how much (percentage wise) of donations to the wounded warrior project actually makes it to the wounded warriors, but I can tell you that I have seen them do some amazing and life-changing things for wounded veterans that I wouldn't have believed without seeing it myself. I believe the work they were doing when I went through the "wounded warrior unit" probably prevented a lot of suicides, and gave a lot of hope to young soldiers around me who otherwise would've felt pretty hopeless given their current circumstances. I had a buddy who had lost an eye and a leg, and had some other grievous injuries processing out the same time as me, and I will never forget seeing the ear to ear grin as he showed me the truck they gave him that was outfitted with cameras and buttons that allowed him to drive (mostly) normally after his injuries, and many others who were assisted similarly. Another buddy was suffering from over 150 perforations in his brain (from explosions) which resulted in regular stays in intensive care, but when he was able to get out and about they helped him live out some of his life-long dreams... No one deserved such kindness and gratitude more than he did. It restored my own faith a bit just seeing people care for my wounded buddies like that. Each of these things might seem small by themselves, but it's huge when you couldn't have done it without their help, and it gives you the confidence to say, "Yeah, so I lost an eye, a leg, etc, but that's not gonna stop me... I can still have a good life. It'll just take a little more effort, and I'm good at that!"
" Thank You" is simply not enough for these men. They deserve all good coming their way, the Hell they endured is never known by most of us. God bless our Vets.
@@fedecano7362 Ever hear of 9/11, mo r on? 🙄They killed thousands of people that were responsible for it, including bin Laden and sent a clear message to those people. “Don’t poke the bear.” We fought them over there, instead of having them come here and then inflict more damage. We all owe our warriors much gratitude for their service. One problem though, under the incompetent Joe Biden, that bear turned and hightailed it out of there, leaving $85 billion in weapons and aircraft behind. Deplorable! Probably the biggest disgrace in this country’s’ short history..
@@alan30189 unfortunately that was a setup and they haven't defended a damn thing except the resources including people being trafficked and heroin. They're soldiers not warriors.
They don't want more than a thank you, and most won't accept anything more. They are selfless, ready to run to the sound of guns, to protect the West and our way of life.
Lt. Redman my daughter and last child just died at the age of 34. It was sudden and totally unexpected. My first daughter died 9 years ago at 29 yrs old. Iam at the point of being a lost and broken man thinking thoughts of do I really want to go on? Seeing your video and story has given me much to think about. I train 4 days a week in Krav Maga and consider myself a very humble warrior. Not to imply that I’m anywhere near what you have done and accomplished. I say this only to imply that what you have said in this interview has given me a glimpse of how a real warrior would handle this situation. My second daughters death has been devastating to me. Thank you for your service and for sharing your inspiring story.
Healing, peace and blessings to you. You are loved, respected and not alone. Your life still has meaning and purpose even if your uncertain of what that is. Please don't give up
I was in a tank platoon in Iraq 2006-2008 that worked out of the green zone escorting these guys to their missions at night. What an experience that was and something I’ll never forget, these guys are absolute warriors.
These guys are invading a country where they are not welcome. The idea that ANY human has the right to kill a other is insane. You people are brainwashed, egotistical, and delusional.
@@1badsteed right I couldn’t believe what I was reading the guy is a straight sheep to even post a comment on this badass video! What really gets me is how amazing this guys attitude and energy is and how he still smiles and laughs after everything he’s been through that truly is amazing
This warrior was fulfilling his duty w honor. You are the one brainwashed miss priss. If you don’t flick a dog on the nose & tell him no how will he learn?… I can smell the submissive panties you’re wearing sjw.
His mental toughness is what got him through seal training but most importantly saved his life. I have nothing but respect for him and every other vet. God bless him and his family. Thanks for your service and all the sacrifices you and your family had to go through.
What’s there to feel ? so many countless dead real ones because your military industrial complex wants an influx in stock prices. How foolish of a nation the west is. Then you wonder why China is wiping the floor with you 😂😂😂
Furthermore the hostile is going to meet the Lord not the other way round. Your always right seal was actually wrong in this context. Goes to show how accurate there perception and judgement are. Wish we could all Anal each other ,eh ?
Finally he is not AMERICAN NAVY SEAL. he is a GRECO ROMAN MAN. True warriors ,not the most intelligent species. Hence why he had a false thought of protecting his country man (fellow people) from a threat they where courted to assume was an invasion on ‘our’ way of life and saving our children ?? Mad men run the world !
Do your own research, 31:58 your buddy blasted himself because you don’t accept the truth. Accepting the truth is submitting to the truth and not carry on with drinking your Alcohol and eating your blood galore pigs
This man is a legend to us I serve in the third Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment and this man is literally a legend we hear his stories all the time . A SEAL who was Ranger qualified. All my respect brother your excellence is what we strive for
He is more than an American Hero. He is a Hero to many people in many countrys . America is just the lucky recipricant of his birth. His heroism. is recognized world wide. His heroism is not just his fighting service but the work he continues to do for his Veteran comrades.

I'm a 26 year old "man" who has let his past troubles overcome him. This video is what I needed to wake up and a thousand thank you(s) is not enough. I grew up in violence and drugs, not the military. I've seen people get shot and got shot myself with my best friend. The bullet went through my leg and hit him in the chest. I didn't know I was hit until hours later when the adrenaline subsided. He is a Cuban man who turned pale white from the internal bleeding in minutes. The bullet was a .380 hollow point fired from about 8 foot away. The forensics said the bullet probably didn't even reach it's full velocity due to how close we were. An seeing as how the bullet is about a quarter of an inch from his spine, I thank God. This all happened 7 years ago and I still think about it everyday and get scared as lame as it sounds. I remember turning him around and seeing that the bullet didn't exit, so I carried him to the front yard and told him to sing the ABCs and made Bs chit chat till the paramedics arrived. He went to the hospital and 9 surgeries later we went through the physical rehabilitation. Now he is addicted to drugs and looking at prison time and I'm just a pitiful loser amounting to nothing. It messes me up everyday and I now haven't worked a consistent job in years because I have made myself the victim, always feeling sorry for myself. This man just showed me to adapt the overcome mindset. No longer will I feel sorry for myself and I'll be damned if I let someone else feel sorry for me. Just know if you ever see this, you have inspired me in 30 minutes more than counselors and therapists in 7 years. Dude took 8 to the body and told the other dude get ready to meet Allah. I always hang out with vets because they are the only people who get it and don't expect nothing from you other than be the best you can be. Most people don't understand how a dropping of a baking pan in a Wendy's puts you right back in the midst of that day. No homo, but I love you man and any one else going through it. It's time for us as humans to start helping each other instead of hurting each other. If someone needs a someone to vent to, just message me. Their is only one race on this planet: the human race. Pain knows no boundaries.
I hope you stick to this and turn yourself around and truly enjoy all the freedoms and benefits provided to you through the sacrifices of men like these
Cross training with SF is actually pretty common. Obviously they are all badasses so they tackle all obstacles in front of them.. I think the USAF PJs get the least love. Them and the entire Coast Guard.
Ranger school is demanding but nothing like budds or ARS(which I went through). Ranger school was very frustrating because the army allows every MOS to attend. Those from the marines, navy and air force are all from a combat mos. picture a guy or now female that is in their last year at West Point throwing a grenade up hill in heavy vegetation. Lots of retardedness.
Legendary One uhhhhh what? Might want to educate yourself. Today’s rangers are indeed considered elite special forces and are part of SOCOM (Special Operations Command)
Jason, Sir, I am a Canadian who is very proud of my country’s fight on the side of freedom going back to WW1. I have never been more moved by a veteran’s statement than yours. My Grandfather was a veteran of WW2. He was born blind in one eye and had one of his brothers take his medical so that he could enlist in the 48th Highlanders in 1939. I have some of his medals and parts of his uniforms from that period. As like most veterans from that period, he never spoke of what he went through nor the effects on him and his family. Thankfully, you have taken things a step further in your ability to describe your mission and deal with the outcome. I am just so impressed and jealous of your candour and honesty. I wish I knew of a way to REALLY help our veterans. THANK YOU for your incredible service. THANK YOU for bringing to the fore that once you come home, the fight is not always over. You are truly a person who sets out to make the world a better place and puts his life on the line to try and make that happen. When I watch this interview, I am both awed by your contribution and at the same time wistfully embarrassed by my lack of the same. I am 61 years old. I am in between everything where I could have made a contribution on the battlefield. I would appreciate it if you could direct me to how best I can help our veterans. Thank You so much for your courage and resolve.
He just gave you many directions in how you can help and be of service to the many men and women who sacrifice themselves to a land that have no appreciation towards them once they are back from the wars like broken toys,...How many are left to fight the demons by themselves....he is correct...the real war has now begun...to survive!!...
@@Roy-w2o3f the jihdi that was calling out when he was mortally wounded. He must of been calling out saying "oh Allah, pls accept my sacrifice n martyrdom, pls let me join my fellow jihadis in heaven with my 72 virgin babes". If he was granted heaven. I suspect by now he has a load of baby mamas n a king size mattress, plenty of lube n some sex toys. I guess hes a v happy man!
@@cheekychap8047 I don't believe in wars of any kind...Those who say they fight in the name of God are cowards...And America should stop murdering its people!!...They need to mind their own business and stop meddling in the lives of foreign countries..Bring the men and women home... Enough of this senseless wars that have taken innocent people lives on both sides....I believe if I have to fight and defend my country I fight from my backyard to protect my family..Not in foreign...it becomes invasion.... If it makes you happy with the thoughts that a man died believing he will go to heaven and have 10 wives?!...At least he died on his land fighting for what he believes was protecting his peoples in honor....
@@Roy-w2o3f This country started by fighting and defeating England. Many veterans have ancestors that were here during that period. It is natural for such people to have a love for their country... enough to fight for it. However, the government that was then is not now. Nevertheless, the people who honor our founders still care for our veterans and will add to the help of the government to take care of them. Thank God for that.

Tough man. In a world often characterized by selfishness, self-pity and victimhood it is wonderful to see someone who demonstrates the best in human strength, determination and selflessness. Jason embodies that which we should all aspire to be.
War is like a fix. You know, you get high on war - “We won! We won!" - and then you look down on the ground again and you need another fix, you need another war. Why do you think we’ve had war after war after war after war? Every war, they say: “This is the end. This is the last war.” In World War I, they said: “This is the war to end all wars.” And then, not long after that, was World War II. And then soon the United States was waging war in Korea, and then Vietnam. If you study history, what you learn is that wars are always accompanied by lies. Wars are always accompanied by deception.

This guy leaves me almost speechless. I came from a Navy family, but his experience is one for the books. A self motivator with a high bar for accomplishments and thinks not of himself, but of others that need help. What a unique individual.

@Hidden Aspects Is this a serious question is my first response? Maybe you think the world is this nice place where everyone loves each other and cares about their neighbors and would never dream of invading another country or enslaving its people. Those of us that have been to school and read books understand that this is the real history of our world. Conquest, murder, rape, etc have only been stopped because of military power. The reason we can sleep soundly in the US and not have to worry about some foreign power invading or bombing us is because of our military. This is also the reason war lords and their gangs of thugs don't go around killing everyone, raping women and children, stealing, etc like they have done for years in Africa. This doesn't happen here because these people would be killed before they ever made it here by our military. This is how so and I am just surprised this is something you are unaware of, I mean it is pretty freaking obvious!
@@andrewdwight3443 LOL so the US is going to stop rape murder and conquest, after they got to where they are through rape murder and conquest??? Really??? Where do you think the weapons in Africa come from?
@@kcailly1 I don’t know if your lbrain can comprehend this, but I will give it a shot. 96% of the weapons in Africa came from Russia and China. IE: the “AK47”. I have no idea what you are babbling on about the US conquering but this isn’t what we were even talking about. We were talking about why people in the US can feel free and not have to worry about that happening to us. In fact, you even helped make my point for me. But, to comment on your delusions about the US ok, there has been no force for good on planet Earth that has done more for the people of planet Earth than the US. We are the most giving country on Earth and get almost nothing in return. If we were really what you describe we would have just conquered the world. We literally have the capability to destroy countries with the push of a button. We actually do everything possible to avoid civilian deaths in war and have helped more refugees than any other country. If the US is such a horrible place than why are people literally risking their lives to come here? Because we have the most tolerant society out there. Are we perfect? No of course not but to have you claim that we are not the best country is laughable. I have been to many other countries, have you? I’m sure you have been indoctrinated with American hate but it is not to late for you to learn the truth!
@@andrewdwight3443 LOL we should feel safe that white supremacists have infiltrated the armed forces and are raiding caches and stockpiling weapons? And the four percent of the other weapons, were they used by elites and warlords on innocent civilians to allow for easier extraction of raw materials, which is the entire reason for American involvement in Africa?

WWI term "shell shocked" may have been pretty accurate after all. My dad was a WWII wounded veteran who worked tirelessly through the VFW in support of his fellow warriors. I appreciate all you have done and are doing for our country. Jess
My grandfather was a pilot on a B17 Superfortress. Flew his 25 missions(pilot requirement) over Berlin and came home in 1942. He was a pillar of the community yet struggled with alcohol and had serious anger issues behind closed doors. Ironically, he died in a plane crash in late 1962 (twin engine Cessna) which he was not piloting in Cuba, Alabama. Part of the reason I entered the Marine Corps(4 yrs) 31yrs later was because of him. It was a good life experience. 🇺🇸Support our military🇺🇸

No matter the soldier, I have a respect for those who go off to war. Also, what a great storyteller, brevity, pace and just captivating.

What a fuckin bad ass. He speaks so passionately about everything he sets his mind on, and keeps it very real. I'm no Veteran, but I'm honored to have fellow countrymen like him. Thank you for being the warrior, and absolute legend you'll always be.
One of the best warriors I have heard speak in person. He was honest more so over about his failures as a SEAL team leader than his success and learning from them. I have nothing but respect for him. If you ever get the opportunity to see him in person, do so. Semper Fi and God Bless our warriors and this country.
Found this by accident and glad I did. What an amazing individual with an incredible mindset. Thank you Lt. Redman for your service and sacrifice. You are a true warrior with a huge heart!!!
This guy has some heart and would not give up! We need more people like this. He seems like a great guy. Thank you for your service brother. Upmost Respect
Your problems are not insignificant lol. We are all on a different part in life and have a different destiny. At least this guy had the opportunity to chose to become a soldier and killed a lot of people, and don't tell me all of them were evil men. I bet there were a couple of civilians too. Think about the innocent and vulnerable kids that die everyday because of disease, starvation and genocide.
Surprised to come across this…Jason was my PT instructor in college at ODU and was a motivator to say the least. I remember he had this happen to him about 6 months after being commissioned and going back to the teams. Proud to see he still sounds just as sharp as he was when I last saw him. I always knew he was tough, but this is next level. Proud and god bless to you Jason!
That's not winking. Notice the scarring around his right eye, it is likely a prosthetic (glass) eye. When we blink it is almost always with both eyes, he blinks the left eye much more frequently than the right. Probably due to nerve damage or because it is a glass eye and does not
@@mwilson70201 Yeah its definitely damage from where the face has healed/been operated on. If its his real eye, which it looks like it is, I do wonder how it would be in conditions with dust etc, as we need to blink to avoid damage to the eye, so maybe it is glass or he covers it outside, I would like to know, even if that is the menial sad part of his story we shouldnt focus on.
I dont think there's much to be said other than this man is absolutely amazing. Highly skilled, highly intelligent, very brave, and could never thank him enough for his service.

Incredible story from an incredible individual! I volunteered at the VFW post here where I live in Milton Florida for about 10 years and as a charter member of the Men's Auxiliary to the VFW I've met several combat vets that shared a few uplifting stories they brought home with them. I also spoke with a few combat vets that were "broken" and at times it felt so disheartening knowing that there was nothing or very little I could do to help. That being said, I just wanted to say thank you not only for your service (of course) but for taking the time to sit down and share your stories with us. Just amazing! Thank God for you and all others that have spent even a short minute of their lives keeping things in order so we can have at least a moment of peace here at home. God Bless you, our Military and the The United States!
Jason: You have very eloquently explained what you have been through, what your fellow soldiers have been through, and what we (your fellow citizens) need to understand in not only how to help our soldiers returning from the battle zone to normal life here, but also how to prepare our young ones who will have to serve in your place the next time it’s needed. Thank you for setting such a fine example !!
This man speaks some of the most inspiring, uplifting words I’ve heard. On all counts possible this guy in an unimaginably refined, intelligent and unbreakable individual. A true role model
Ive always thought of myself as a leather tough, individual American. Watching this proves me to be just an average American patriot. Much respect, this man. He OWNS tough. Godspeed, Redman.
L Mar me too! But I'm not tough; I made scout first class in Boy Scouts and did one semester of AFROTC in college. We are blessed to have men like this with both brains and courage.
L Mar Agreed! What an amazing, intelligent and dedicated warrior. His efforts on behalf of his brothers and sisters who’ve served and been wounded (or are suffering from as he refers to it “concussive” ptsd) is profoundly inspiring and humbling. I have to do something on behalf of our servicemen and women and I will. So much respect for this good man.

As a fortunate veteran, I am happy to hear there is something I can do to help. You guys who really were in it need to be supported as best we can. You always had my prayers, now I can give you more material support. Thank you.
What allowed him to survive and recover is that same quality that got him through SEAL training to begin with - the ability tap into that reserve of will and strength that still exists even though you feel you've reached your limit and want to quit.
And that is exactly why the training is designed to break men. If you can’t push through the deepest limits of training there is a good chance you won’t push through being pinned down, bleeding out with your face shot off.
gah, I have SO much respect for this man. I can't even put it into words...his mentality is just amazing! I'm a nurse & I hope & pray that I can obtain the skills needed in order to render aid to our soldiers in times of war. Absolutely incredible, much love to Jason & his family!! Thank you for your service!!!
This mans testimony goes to show how much our mind plays a part in pushing through what we feel our limit is. When you put your mind to something,you can do much more than you think you can. You Sir are a very mentally strong and physically strong warrior! Thank you so much for making our country a better, safer place for my children, and others to live!
I can't help but wonder and offer my utmost respect for the medical staff who "fix" heavily wounded soldiers to the best of what is humanly possible. You can clearly see this man was gravely wounded in and around the face. There's obviously some nerve damage but remarkably the face has been restored to almost its former state. Often people forget about the many men and women who are there to save our brave soldiers in every conflict around the world, day in day out.
I've thought about surgeons that have to fix gun or stab wounds like that before. Its genuinely one of the most beneficial "jobs" I could ever imagine & to think that they pull off the medical feats that they do on a daily basis is nothing short of incredible.
The people you forget and probably argue with is the peacemakers and protesters against unnecessary wars. They save horrific injuries and deaths of our soldiers and of enemy soldiers and civilians before they happen.
As a 78 year old Viet Nam veteran who served two tours with the 5th SFG sure which we would have received this type of recognition. Don't get me wrong very proud of this man and what he has done.
It's crazy to think it's your generation's turn to be the ones pushin 80. I think you have a better idea than most with what's going on with America lately, and I feel like you should share what you know before censorship destroys your history.

Not to brag or anything (joking obviously) but when I was 17 (30s now) I was a high school dropout doing meth with some brothers in an MC. No exaggeration, sounds insane but Its sad and true: SEVERAL TIMES I stayed awake no sleep no laying down no nap for 17 plus day stints. Working in the shop, working the whole time. Weeks at a time with not even a 5 minutes nap. Just UP. Then I’d sleep 2-3 days and be up for another 2-3 weeks. Everyone else would be awake 3- sleep 3 sort of thing… I had no tap on the line though and that’s back when it was anhydrous. I can’t understand how someone can stay awake and work without that stuff like these navy seals do in Hell Week. Bravo Sirs!

@@ME911119 Let's hear about your credentials. Did you serve your country? Let's start with that one.
I am an old Vietnam Veteran. Spent 8 years in the US Army and separated when my kids came of school age because I wanted them to enjoy a stable education that I experienced in South Dakota. I joined the Police Department on a Hire the Vet program and spent 24 years as a cop. My wife and I got to the age of retirement, as I neared that age, I experienced a line of duty car accident that put me on permeant retirement. Then, within a 7 month period, I lost my Brother-in-law, 2 sisters, my partner from the Police Department, my Next door neighbor and the last in this train wreck of my life was the love of my life, my wife who stood by my side for 51 years and 3 days. To say the least, I am a bit depressed, it has been 2 years since that time, Workers Comp cut my pay in half telling me I reached retirement age, and my daughter has moved in with me to cook and clean when she has time as she works full time as well to pay off her student debts. Listening to you has given me a dose of stamina, recalling my days as a soldier, so I wanted to say Thanks man! I had been looking forward for the end that must surely come soon, I yearn for that day when I can once again be surrounded by my loved ones, I still have Mom, who is now 96 and suffering in the nursing home from her second hit from Covid, and a great grandson I have yet to hold as travel is a bit difficult now as workers comp cut my pain meds from a large dose of Fentanyl to nearly the lowest dose available, and the pain has returned to nearly the last of 5 surgeries I have gone through. I think if I can just get out and do some walking I may be able to get up and going once more.
Oh my goodness.. you've been through an absolute ton.
You, yourself, are an idle to those seeking strength.. you're an idle to me, even though I may not know you.
I know you will be happy. You deserve to be. I pray for your losses..
Chin up, your a hero sir.
Thanks for being transparent, and thank you for your service. Look to Christ when you’re feeling down, you’re the apple of God’s eye.
God bless brother
First off, I want to thank you for a life of service to a people who were and still are not as appreciating as they should be. you have faced so much and as of recent even more... I just want to say thank you. my prayers are with you and your family, and I hope that you are blessed with comfort and a drive to continue.
I may never get to meet you in person, but as I have tears in my eyes writing this, just know that I owe you so much more than a handshake is ever worth.
Hi Jerry you are loved my man.
“I remember thinking stand-by, cuz he’s coming.” So bad ass. This just makes me want to donate to the wounded warrior foundation. We don’t do enough for our veterans 🙏
So badass! Came looking for this comment 👍
I heard that 😁
Go find your local hometown homeless vets who need help so you know your donations aren’t lining the wrong pockets
Donate to local vets most foundations get taken. The government fucks our best over left and right
I don't know how much (percentage wise) of donations to the wounded warrior project actually makes it to the wounded warriors, but I can tell you that I have seen them do some amazing and life-changing things for wounded veterans that I wouldn't have believed without seeing it myself. I believe the work they were doing when I went through the "wounded warrior unit" probably prevented a lot of suicides, and gave a lot of hope to young soldiers around me who otherwise would've felt pretty hopeless given their current circumstances. I had a buddy who had lost an eye and a leg, and had some other grievous injuries processing out the same time as me, and I will never forget seeing the ear to ear grin as he showed me the truck they gave him that was outfitted with cameras and buttons that allowed him to drive (mostly) normally after his injuries, and many others who were assisted similarly.
Another buddy was suffering from over 150 perforations in his brain (from explosions) which resulted in regular stays in intensive care, but when he was able to get out and about they helped him live out some of his life-long dreams... No one deserved such kindness and gratitude more than he did. It restored my own faith a bit just seeing people care for my wounded buddies like that. Each of these things might seem small by themselves, but it's huge when you couldn't have done it without their help, and it gives you the confidence to say, "Yeah, so I lost an eye, a leg, etc, but that's not gonna stop me... I can still have a good life. It'll just take a little more effort, and I'm good at that!"
" Thank You" is simply not enough for these men. They deserve all good coming their way, the Hell they endured is never known by most of us. God bless our Vets.
I get it, but thank you for what exactly? for being a tool for your government? what good did they do to anybody over Afganistan and Iraq?
@@fedecano7362 Ever hear of 9/11, mo r on? 🙄They killed thousands of people that were responsible for it, including bin Laden and sent a clear message to those people. “Don’t poke the bear.” We fought them over there, instead of having them come here and then inflict more damage. We all owe our warriors much gratitude for their service.
One problem though, under the incompetent Joe Biden, that bear turned and hightailed it out of there, leaving $85 billion in weapons and aircraft behind. Deplorable! Probably the biggest disgrace in this country’s’ short history..

Lt. Redman my daughter and last child just died at the age of 34. It was sudden and totally unexpected. My first daughter died 9 years ago at 29 yrs old. Iam at the point of being a lost and broken man thinking thoughts of do I really want to go on? Seeing your video and story has given me much to think about. I train 4 days a week in Krav Maga and consider myself a very humble warrior. Not to imply that I’m anywhere near what you have done and accomplished. I say this only to imply that what you have said in this interview has given me a glimpse of how a real warrior would handle this situation.
My second daughters death has been devastating to me. Thank you for your service and for sharing your inspiring story.

I'm a 26 year old "man" who has let his past troubles overcome him. This video is what I needed to wake up and a thousand thank you(s) is not enough.
I grew up in violence and drugs, not the military. I've seen people get shot and got shot myself with my best friend. The bullet went through my leg and hit him in the chest. I didn't know I was hit until hours later when the adrenaline subsided.
He is a Cuban man who turned pale white from the internal bleeding in minutes. The bullet was a .380 hollow point fired from about 8 foot away. The forensics said the bullet probably didn't even reach it's full velocity due to how close we were. An seeing as how the bullet is about a quarter of an inch from his spine, I thank God.
This all happened 7 years ago and I still think about it everyday and get scared as lame as it sounds.
I remember turning him around and seeing that the bullet didn't exit, so I carried him to the front yard and told him to sing the ABCs and made Bs chit chat till the paramedics arrived.
He went to the hospital and 9 surgeries later we went through the physical rehabilitation. Now he is addicted to drugs and looking at prison time and I'm just a pitiful loser amounting to nothing.
It messes me up everyday and I now haven't worked a consistent job in years because I have made myself the victim, always feeling sorry for myself.
This man just showed me to adapt the overcome mindset. No longer will I feel sorry for myself and I'll be damned if I let someone else feel sorry for me. Just know if you ever see this, you have inspired me in 30 minutes more than counselors and therapists in 7 years. Dude took 8 to the body and told the other dude get ready to meet Allah. I always hang out with vets because they are the only people who get it and don't expect nothing from you other than be the best you can be. Most people don't understand how a dropping of a baking pan in a Wendy's puts you right back in the midst of that day.
No homo, but I love you man and any one else going through it. It's time for us as humans to start helping each other instead of hurting each other. If someone needs a someone to vent to, just message me. Their is only one race on this planet: the human race. Pain knows no boundaries.

A SEAL who is Ranger Qualified. Much respect warrior
Cross training with SF is actually pretty common. Obviously they are all badasses so they tackle all obstacles in front of them.. I think the USAF PJs get the least love. Them and the entire Coast Guard.
Ranger school is demanding but nothing like budds or ARS(which I went through). Ranger school was very frustrating because the army allows every MOS to attend. Those from the marines, navy and air force are all from a combat mos. picture a guy or now female that is in their last year at West Point throwing a grenade up hill in heavy vegetation. Lots of retardedness.
It’s not cross training and it’s nothing to do with SF, it’s a school for combat leadership.

Jason, Sir, I am a Canadian who is very proud of my country’s fight on the side of freedom going back to WW1. I have never been more moved by a veteran’s statement than yours. My Grandfather was a veteran of WW2. He was born blind in one eye and had one of his brothers take his medical so that he could enlist in the 48th Highlanders in 1939. I have some of his medals and parts of his uniforms from that period. As like most veterans from that period, he never spoke of what he went through nor the effects on him and his family. Thankfully, you have taken things a step further in your ability to describe your mission and deal with the outcome. I am just so impressed and jealous of your candour and honesty. I wish I knew of a way to REALLY help our veterans. THANK YOU for your incredible service. THANK YOU for bringing to the fore that once you come home, the fight is not always over. You are truly a person who sets out to make the world a better place and puts his life on the line to try and make that happen. When I watch this interview, I am both awed by your contribution and at the same time wistfully embarrassed by my lack of the same. I am 61 years old. I am in between everything where I could have made a contribution on the battlefield. I would appreciate it if you could direct me to how best I can help our veterans.
Thank You so much for your courage and resolve.

@@Roy-w2o3f This country started by fighting and defeating England. Many veterans have ancestors that were here during that period. It is natural for such people to have a love for their country... enough to fight for it. However, the government that was then is not now.

Define self-pity. There is nothing wrong with it when it’s the unfortunate reality you have to deal with.
War is like a fix. You know, you get high on war - “We won! We won!" - and then you look down on the ground again and you need another fix, you need another war. Why do you think we’ve had war after war after war after war? Every war, they say: “This is the end. This is the last war.” In World War I, they said: “This is the war to end all wars.” And then, not long after that, was World War II. And then soon the United States was waging war in Korea, and then Vietnam. If you study history, what you learn is that wars are always accompanied by lies. Wars are always accompanied by deception.

He's a SEAL. He doesn't deploy. He 'shows up'! Outta smoke and thin air! 😎
Great warrior. An even better strategist. Thank you for your service. And thank you for your efforts to help others. You're an inspiration, sir.
And he likes men in uniform, ducky...
@@youtubeiscrspsidthesexists7480 I like men and women who have what it takes to earn a uniform. I have a couple of those of my own. How's your mom's basement working out for ya, fluffy? All tactified? 😁
Without guys like this, we wouldn't be living the comfortable lives we do!
Truer words have rarely been spoken!!!
@Hidden Aspects Is this a serious question is my first response? Maybe you think the world is this nice place where everyone loves each other and cares about their neighbors and would never dream of invading another country or enslaving its people. Those of us that have been to school and read books understand that this is the real history of our world. Conquest, murder, rape, etc have only been stopped because of military power. The reason we can sleep soundly in the US and not have to worry about some foreign power invading or bombing us is because of our military. This is also the reason war lords and their gangs of thugs don't go around killing everyone, raping women and children, stealing, etc like they have done for years in Africa. This doesn't happen here because these people would be killed before they ever made it here by our military. This is how so and I am just surprised this is something you are unaware of, I mean it is pretty freaking obvious!
@@andrewdwight3443 LOL so the US is going to stop rape murder and conquest, after they got to where they are through rape murder and conquest??? Really??? Where do you think the weapons in Africa come from?
@@kcailly1 I don’t know if your lbrain can comprehend this, but I will give it a shot. 96% of the weapons in Africa came from Russia and China. IE: the “AK47”. I have no idea what you are babbling on about the US conquering but this isn’t what we were even talking about. We were talking about why people in the US can feel free and not have to worry about that happening to us. In fact, you even helped make my point for me. But, to comment on your delusions about the US ok, there has been no force for good on planet Earth that has done more for the people of planet Earth than the US. We are the most giving country on Earth and get almost nothing in return. If we were really what you describe we would have just conquered the world. We literally have the capability to destroy countries with the push of a button. We actually do everything possible to avoid civilian deaths in war and have helped more refugees than any other country. If the US is such a horrible place than why are people literally risking their lives to come here? Because we have the most tolerant society out there. Are we perfect? No of course not but to have you claim that we are not the best country is laughable. I have been to many other countries, have you? I’m sure you have been indoctrinated with American hate but it is not to late for you to learn the truth!
@@andrewdwight3443 LOL we should feel safe that white supremacists have infiltrated the armed forces and are raiding caches and stockpiling weapons? And the four percent of the other weapons, were they used by elites and warlords on innocent civilians to allow for easier extraction of raw materials, which is the entire reason for American involvement in Africa?
*Stunning.* I'm humbled by this man's courage, determination and strength of spirit.
Tough or hero isn’t enough to describe. What a story. Respect

True American Hero!! Sound like Gramps was a Badass also. Thank You Sir!🇺🇸👍❤️💪👏
This Hero is not only living with his painful scars but he is living with PTSD Big Time! Thank You for being who you are, a soldier of the highest order. From Toronto, Canada
Jason, it was an honor to even listen to your story. GOD bless you. Much prayers for our soldiers.
WWI term "shell shocked" may have been pretty accurate after all. My dad was a WWII wounded veteran who worked tirelessly through the VFW in support of his fellow warriors. I appreciate all you have done and are doing for our country. Jess
My grandfather was a pilot on a B17 Superfortress. Flew his 25 missions(pilot requirement) over Berlin and came home in 1942. He was a pillar of the community yet struggled with alcohol and had serious anger issues behind closed doors. Ironically, he died in a plane crash in late 1962 (twin engine Cessna) which he was not piloting in Cuba, Alabama. Part of the reason I entered the Marine Corps(4 yrs) 31yrs later was because of him. It was a good life experience. 🇺🇸Support our military🇺🇸

What I love is how this man holds himself. He is measured and calm. I doubt he has a bone of hate in his body.
Just an understanding of humans at a greater depth than most of us.
No matter the soldier, I have a respect for those who go off to war. Also, what a great storyteller, brevity, pace and just captivating.
Trust me, there's a tad bit of hate. 20:28, but towards the enemy there's a mutual understanding of that necessity between warriors imo.
Jason. What an inspiration. Amazing how he has focused his energy into helping others. Truly a great man. All the very best to him & family, and all those that he helps. God bless.

What a fuckin bad ass. He speaks so passionately about everything he sets his mind on, and keeps it very real. I'm no Veteran, but I'm honored to have fellow countrymen like him. Thank you for being the warrior, and absolute legend you'll always be.
One of the best warriors I have heard speak in person. He was honest more so over about his failures as a SEAL team leader than his success and learning from them. I have nothing but respect for him. If you ever get the opportunity to see him in person, do so. Semper Fi and God Bless our warriors and this country.
You miss spelled terrorist with warriors
@@Grimy_Aaronarr USA is the 🏆. Don't disrespect this warrior, he is the gold standard of Americans
There's nothing stronger than a volunteer. I thank you and all that serve for your service to our Country. God Bless You All. 🙌
What god is this that praises the u.s and it's solider$ ?
lol
Found this by accident and glad I did. What an amazing individual with an incredible mindset. Thank you Lt. Redman for your service and sacrifice. You are a true warrior with a huge heart!!!
This guy has some heart and would not give up! We need more people like this. He seems like a great guy. Thank you for your service brother. Upmost Respect
Thank you for your service to this country. Remember everyone deployed. God-bless America.
I am so glad I watched this. Makes me realize my "problems" are so insignificant. Thank you all for your service. What an incredible story. 👏
Your problems are not insignificant lol. We are all on a different part in life and have a different destiny. At least this guy had the opportunity to chose to become a soldier and killed a lot of people, and don't tell me all of them were evil men. I bet there were a couple of civilians too. Think about the innocent and vulnerable kids that die everyday because of disease, starvation and genocide.
Love and respect from Sri Lanka to you and all the veterans all over the world. May you live in peace.
Surprised to come across this…Jason was my PT instructor in college at ODU and was a motivator to say the least. I remember he had this happen to him about 6 months after being commissioned and going back to the teams. Proud to see he still sounds just as sharp as he was when I last saw him. I always knew he was tough, but this is next level. Proud and god bless to you Jason!
That's not winking. Notice the scarring around his right eye, it is likely a prosthetic (glass) eye. When we blink it is almost always with both eyes, he blinks the left eye much more frequently than the right. Probably due to nerve damage or because it is a glass eye and does not
@@mwilson70201 Yeah its definitely damage from where the face has healed/been operated on. If its his real eye, which it looks like it is, I do wonder how it would be in conditions with dust etc, as we need to blink to avoid damage to the eye, so maybe it is glass or he covers it outside, I would like to know, even if that is the menial sad part of his story we shouldnt focus on.
ODU
Old Dominion University?
💪
I'm guessing Ohio Dominican
This man is amazing! He should be an inspiration for all of us, for for all those generations yet to come. The world needs more people like him.
I dont think there's much to be said other than this man is absolutely amazing. Highly skilled, highly intelligent, very brave, and could never thank him enough for his service.

Incredible story from an incredible individual!
I volunteered at the VFW post here where I live in Milton Florida for about 10 years and as a charter member of the Men's Auxiliary to the VFW I've met several combat vets that shared a few uplifting stories they brought home with them. I also spoke with a few combat vets that were "broken" and at times it felt so disheartening knowing that there was nothing or very little I could do to help. That being said, I just wanted to say thank you not only for your service (of course) but for taking the time to sit down and share your stories with us.
Just amazing!
Thank God for you and all others that have spent even a short minute of their lives keeping things in order so we can have at least a moment of peace here at home.
God Bless you, our Military and the The United States!
Jason: You have very eloquently explained what you have been through, what your fellow soldiers have been through, and what we (your fellow citizens) need to understand in not only how to help our soldiers returning from the battle zone to normal life here, but also how to prepare our young ones who will have to serve in your place the next time it’s needed. Thank you for setting such a fine example !!
This man speaks some of the most inspiring, uplifting words I’ve heard. On all counts possible this guy in an unimaginably refined, intelligent and unbreakable individual. A true role model
Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@JasonRedmanww Going into the army in august. This video will be on repeat every day, you are amazing.
I had the privilege of meeting this young man and talking to him. I was walking on a cloud and knew I’d met greatness.
What a patriot! What an American! What a stellar human being! So proud of him and so grateful for his service, his example, and his sacrifice.
What a guy. The ‘Overcome Mindset’ makes perfect sense. Carry on. Loved the note. Live well.
Ive always thought of myself as a leather tough, individual American.
Watching this proves me to be just an average American patriot.
Much respect, this man. He OWNS tough.
Godspeed, Redman.
L Mar me too! But I'm not tough; I made scout first class in Boy Scouts and did one semester of AFROTC in college. We are blessed to have men like this with both brains and courage.
How did u think u were tough
L Mar Agreed! What an amazing, intelligent and dedicated warrior. His efforts on behalf of his brothers and sisters who’ve served and been wounded (or are suffering from as he refers to it “concussive” ptsd) is profoundly inspiring and humbling. I have to do something on behalf of our servicemen and women and I will. So much respect for this good man.

@@OldManPaxusYT yes i am on the internet, that's why i asked to be informed. you didn't need to be rude like that at all, completely uncalled for
@Nazgul the time it took for both of you to type your rude responses you could have spent equal time answering the question like a normal person
What allowed him to survive and recover is that same quality that got him through SEAL training to begin with - the ability tap into that reserve of will and strength that still exists even though you feel you've reached your limit and want to quit.
And that is exactly why the training is designed to break men. If you can’t push through the deepest limits of training there is a good chance you won’t push through being pinned down, bleeding out with your face shot off.
yup.
all of that.

he had th good sense to say a prayer
@@tomholm4456 technically speaking there's no sense in wasting thought praying at a time like that
gah, I have SO much respect for this man. I can't even put it into words...his mentality is just amazing! I'm a nurse & I hope & pray that I can obtain the skills needed in order to render aid to our soldiers in times of war. Absolutely incredible, much love to Jason & his family!! Thank you for your service!!!
Your so beautiful.
"Oh my god what a bad day" total understatement!
This mans testimony goes to show how much our mind plays a part in pushing through what we feel our limit is. When you put your mind to something,you can do much more than you think you can. You Sir are a very mentally strong and physically strong warrior! Thank you so much for making our country a better, safer place for my children, and others to live!
I can't help but wonder and offer my utmost respect for the medical staff who "fix" heavily wounded soldiers to the best of what is humanly possible. You can clearly see this man was gravely wounded in and around the face. There's obviously some nerve damage but remarkably the face has been restored to almost its former state. Often people forget about the many men and women who are there to save our brave soldiers in every conflict around the world, day in day out.
I've thought about surgeons that have to fix gun or stab wounds like that before. Its genuinely one of the most beneficial "jobs" I could ever imagine & to think that they pull off the medical feats that they do on a daily basis is nothing short of incredible.
Until they get the medical bill
@@watchthisbarrelroll you don’t pay medical bills in military… you even get free insurance when you get out so idk what ur saying
@@Zeonder that cant be whole truth as there are vets who have been left by themselves to the streets.
The people you forget and probably argue with is the peacemakers and protesters against unnecessary wars. They save horrific injuries and deaths of our soldiers and of enemy soldiers and civilians before they happen.
As a 78 year old Viet Nam veteran who served two tours with the 5th SFG sure which we would have received this type of recognition. Don't get me wrong very proud of this man and what he has done.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you sir. You are appreciated greatly 🇺🇸

It's crazy to think it's your generation's turn to be the ones pushin 80.
