The one thing I learned about combat…..it is nothing like the way it is depicted most of the time. There is no drama, no music, no bravado, there is fear, anticipation, anxiety, and if you are in a good group, absolute focus. Emotion is either totally suppressed or only vented in private. The thought of “ How the hell did I end up here?” Seemed pretty common to me. I never remember feeling fearful for myself, but I remember being scared to death for the friends I couldn’t immediately support. Decades later, I am still trying to make peace with the ghosts.

The folks he's killed, even when it was 100% justified n saved the lives of a ton of innocent people, the brothers' he's lost, people he was unable to save, friends and loved ones....their footsteps follow him and he mentions that they keep catching up. However later on in season 5 he's had enough and seen so much that on someone else's recommendation he tries San Pedro cactus (Mescaline), and like most psychedelics for folks who are willing, ready, and able, it significantly helps with his ptsd, depression, and anxiety.

It was strange because he came back the first time and suffered from ptsd and really struggled but then reenlisted and his parents couldn't understand it. What shocked me even more was the military letting him even though he was in counseling groups. This guy was really screwed up but for some reason he just wanted to be back in the war. I consider him a hero but man if I was his parents and saw him having fits of anger, road rage, smashing up the home, then he went back and died.. Wow that is hard to process.

Jessica Lynch didn't fight to her last round and get captured. I was deployed to Tikrit during OIF-1 and got the real story in the TOC. To start off, her unit got in trouble for 2 reasons: 1. They got lost. I don't know how they managed that with all the GPS access they had and a handful of vehicles that also had Iraq maps downloaded to computers mounted in leader's vehicle,but there you go. They got off the MSR and wandered into an ambush on a tight road in a small town. Wouldn't you know they ran into the few of Saddam's forces who were still fighting. 2. She was in a Maintenance Company and they did piss-poor maintenance (on both their vehicles and weapons. They had multiple vehicle breakdown (and I assume had their mechanics working their asses off) and when it came to the fight, the survivors reported multiple weapons stoppages. You can't set up a perimeter if the best you can do is throw stones. This wasn't the soldier's fault. They didn't know anything and a soldier will try to get away with what they can. This was a failure in leadership. Even if the leadership had never been to combat, they knew the standards for Land Navigation (with a compass or with a GPS with maps.) They knew the standard for PMCS. They knew the standards for rifle maintenance and qualification. They just didn't enforce any of them. There were to heroes deserving of medals. One soldier (who'd properly cleaned his rifle returned fire until he was killed. Another returned fire even though he kept having to slam up on his magazine to seat a round and manually charge the weapon after each shot. He survived and was picked up by a QRF unit. So Jessica was driving a truck that either took disabling fire or broke down during the ambush. Soldiers were getting killed and she saw her roommate's vehicle. It was either the CDR's or 1SG's vehicle. (Y'know, the ones that got the company lost.) She got in the vehicle and had to sit in the flat middle of it. The truck crashed and Jessica received her injuries from slamming into the metal radio mounts. I believe the only survivors from that vehicle were her and the driver (her roommate...who later died from her injuries. They were taken to a hospital and we know the rest of the story from there. To Jessica's credit, once she was mobile again (and able to deal with the psychological stresses), she told the truth about her experience and put the BS Bush administration narrative about her "heroic" actions to rest. To paraphrase her, the truck she was driving broke down and she hitched a ride in another vehi that crashed. And how do I remember this? My unit was at Fort Hood prepping for deployment when this happened and we spent (at least my section - thank you MSG Favela) all the time we could ensuring our vehicles were perfect (and had extras of what we needed. He set us up for success and I looked at Jessica's Maintenance Company as an example of what NOT to do. My command and fellow NCOs made certain that our soldiers had refresher map reading, Iraq-specific map reading, were familiar with our GPS devices (to include FBCB2) and of course did all the weapons maintenance and small arms ranges we could. If we went out, we weren't going out like that. Still, Jessica and the other soldiers in her unit do deserve some credit. They went to war and put their lives at risk. That's something you won't see many civilians do even under the safest of situations.

They don’t give a damn. The true powers that be profit off of war immensely, they don’t care about Johnny private 18 years old from West Virginia. Our congressmen aren’t any better either, save for a few that have actually served… but my belief is that to make it to national level politics, you have to be somewhat corrupt in todays day and age. It’s all very sad what has become of this country. We learn about all this gender crap, political correctness, pandering to certain groups… yet the people that actually make this country successful or that sacrifice for this country are barely remembered or honored. Athletes and rappers get more attention than people who have sacrificed. It won’t be much longer until nobody learns how this country was formed, the sacrifices people gave to the country, the meaning of freedom, and so forth. They are already telling us the founding fathers are racist, that this country is only for a certain group of people, and everybody is a victim who isn’t part of that group.

BDE put down a requirement for all combat badges to be “Performing duties during indirect fire such as seeking a shelter during an attack.” The first time we took idf. The closest mortar hit about 200-300 meters away (there were conflicting reports, they barely made the ground shake on impact) people felt they deserved their combat badge for that.

Andy. well spoken well said, also very true to what unfortunately actually happens in the military and with the media

Sir, Thank you for sharing your experience in rescuing Pvt. Lynch, your a true hero in my book.

First off, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! I was a diesel mechanic during the 911 attacks for the US military. in 2003 the war in Iraq started, and we went from 40 hours a week to 7/12's and then 7/16s over night! After a while we all fell into routine and it was just sleep, work, work sleep. After the MOB of 2003, we were tasked for the DeMOB, of that year as well as anything that was going back. I had a 5 ton tractor come through my bay, work order was not complicated, but I brought it in anyway. As I was waiting for the air to build, I did my usual checks , and since the air was slow, I had time to see more. I was looking at the cab stuff, and noticed there were names carved in the steering wheel. It was like, Carverkia, mendezmia, joneskia. It made no sense to me, until I was about 500 feet from pulling into the shop bay I used. These weren't the actual names, but these were the names that were killed, and missing in that unit! MIA, KIA, it took a bit for me to get that! Almost immediately I started to cry, I pulled that truck into the shop, and called all the guys to it! I told them to read that wheel, and think about why we are here! That moment bonded us all to that war and too those kids we lost! Never again would I overlook anything on any vehicle I sent to that sand box! It's been almost 20 years since this, and I still cry! I cry because I may have not done enough, or I may have saved a life, or I may have not made any difference at all. But our kids did! Our kids died! And our families hurt every day because of these sacrifices! My pain is small, but it matters just as much as any other loss to this war!

If anyone would like to find the podcast where he talks to Jessica Lynch, search "cleared hot, episode 45"

In 2015, I worked with a guy who was also on the team that rescued Jessica. All he said was “Jessica Lynch, Jessica Lynch. Everybody wants to talk about that. Of all the missions we went on, that was one of the easier, less dangerous events.” The media hyped it up so much, it doesn’t surprise me that some know-nothings were trying to get her an MOH.

Andy interviews Jessica Lynch on his podcast “Cleared Hot,” episode 45. In reference to his description of the helicopter he flew to the hospital on, he made clear in the episode that it took 27 rounds while flying in and landing. The gunner was not struck in the head until the helicopter had landed. And the gunner survived. He went on to note he (Andy) used his own jacket to wrap the gunner’s head, and after getting back to base he recalled looking out into the desert and seeing Pat Tillman (also acted on the same rescue mission and a hero in his own right) doing parachute wind sprints in the desert heat as Andy washed the jacket he used for the gunner. You can’t make this stuff up. Unbelievable.

They drove right in the teeth of Indian country. Made it through the city without incident. When they realized their mistake their CO turned around and drove back to through the city. I imagine it gave the fedayeen and republican guard tons of confide, think that was an American direct action force. They fought like hell. I remember making it past the second bridge over sadam canal, right where they turned around, and came upon an Iraqi army barracks, HQ.Eight of our 18 Marine killed that day came at the hands of an A10. I don’t know how the didn’t see our panel markers, but they made 3 Gunn runs on us before word got to them to cease fire. The road between the two bridges became know as ambush alley. It literally looked like someone dumped hamburger meat all over the road in that two mile stretch. We would drop them in the street. When our Abraham’s came thundering down the road, there was no time to turn or dodge them. It’s surreal to this day to think about it. But after awhile they would charge us with ambulances and white taxis with orange quarter panels. A day before the rescue went down, I remember these long bearded American using civilian trucks to move around. The night of the rescue, we took up a perimeter down from the hospital. They would come out of the wood works when they heard our gunfire. So we staged a faint fire fight that night right before the rescue went down. Their CO’s mistake change our whole objective and we paid the price. Ewwww I was bitter at that woman for so long. When we got back to the states, her story was everywhere and zero about our brothers who died in that shit hole. But the ended up writing a book about it all.

I’m guessing the pilots and something like a door gunner are separate units. So to him they didn’t lose anyone on his “team”. For him his team would be the guys he trains with for thousands.

While her weapon did jam, the fact she got it out and try to use it shows her heart. One of the personnel inside the vehicle got out his saw and fired back in self-defense. He is the one who expelled his ammo. I was there in An Nasiryah at the time as a Radio operator and was attached to Charlie Company 1/10 artillery. My unit were the ones who were supposed to go through the area her convoy went through, where the mixup happened that leader ship didn’t fix. To aid in her rescue my company as well as others laid down suppressive artillery fire on enemy forces to clear the way for the special forces. If memory serves me correctly, there were two special forces choppers that went in and one did engage the enemy. Knowing what Miss Lynch went through, my heart goes out to her and I hope that some sort of peace has been found and restored. I pray that the Lord looks out for her as she goes down the road of life, knowing the people within this nation care for her and that there’s a light at the end of every dark tunnel. I know this for a fact because I know the cost of war after five combat deployments. Friends have been lost but I also know that the purity of light is more powerful than the combined might of evil throughout the world. Just know that you’re not alone and it’s OK to be scared.

@@2bigbufords What's sad is some people possible thank it's real even onto days world Kind of like seeing police take someone to jail for DUI because they smell pot when there's no real test other than a ride Side stand wall and touch your nose. But Alcohol still is a dangerous drug after all just look at the Ex speaker of the house husband who went to jail Makes one wounder what some police departments are teaching the young officers If you get the time open a cold beer or not and watch policing for proffer News 5 story it's not a 15 hit peace on the police going after cash on I 40 across the state of Tennessee But a well done deep dive across the state over 2 year's if I remember right and it's one to two hours long Be safe

I personally briefed the pilots on the weather/radar conditions for the rescue operation of Jessica Lynch. Those guys did an awesome job.

Really? What were the call signs for the jolly greens?

The east coast command. I've heard Andy before but I didn't know that.

From what I remember, her convoy got lost. They drove through the ambush site, realized they were lost and then proceeded to attempt driving back through the same area again when they got hit. The ambush was set up and waiting when they came back the second time. I was in a reserve Intel unit at the time. Having come from active infantry, I kept pushing my new CO for land nav and react to contact drills. Luckily, my reserve unit just got farmed out for personnel rather than deploying as a unit. As a unit, we could do the Intel jobs just fine, but anything requiring basic soldiers tasks, they were pretty chewed up. There were only 3 of us in the company with any training for anything remotely comparable. 2 ex-infantry and 1 cav scout. Everybody else just lived in the SCIF.

If her convoy got lost - what the hell happend to the security team that guards the convoy? The Commander should have been all over this. A mechanic recovery team needs to have security and a lot of it! If they had a security team with commo they could have got a feed on the town they were going through - and most towns are hostle anyway. Looks like they had bad commander and intel when they went out! BDE & Their Convoy Commander and Security should have been briefed on intel and provided the proper security and keep them on line with coms.

@@Traveler-PKK it was during the initial invasion of IRAQ before all the insurgents came out of the woodwork. They were meant to be on the MSR which was pretty secure at the time. They turned off of it. They also weren't rolling with all the extra security yet like later in the occupation. Their whole situation was FUBAR. They had no training in react to contact or ambush drills. They were just bebopping around like they were off in the back 40.

What a sharp guy. Super impressed.

calm & articulate, exactly the guy you want next to you in a battle, a mission and a drinking buddy! LOL

Man I know this dude would have your back

Joe, would love to see you do an interview with Jessica Lynch. I think your platform is perfect for her to tell her story.
