Yep, it should hopefully motivate civilians to reflect more deeply on whom they elect to risk American lives and spend/waste taxpayer dollars for industry-motivated conflicts and infrastructure destruction that arent in the greater national interest.
I know a marine that killed a kid that had a toy gun. After he killed him his mom ran out crying, he feel to his knees next to the kid and mother screamed and cried. The mother ended up comforting my friend while he was begging for mercy towards the mother. To this day he really struggles and I try to help him and let it out.

As an alcoholic in long recovery, my experience was that you surrender to win instead of treating it like a battle. In Ryan's case, he had a transformational experience that was essentially instant recovery, again not a battle but seeking and surrender.
Have yet to see a bad Shawn Ryan Interview. 🤷🏻♂️ The Clips are entertaining and even though some of the interviews are super long by most standards, still as entertaining and gripping. My favorite part is Shawn is just as locked in to what the interviewee is saying as the viewers are and not just rattling off questions. Mr. Ryan gets the most out of his guests. Tremendous Work.
Man your videos are great. All the positive info and never give up attitude of these folks has helped me alot.
This guy is just amazing. He’s intelligent, articulate, funny, not full of himself…..just amazing what he’s done and the things he’s encountered. Such a delight and pleasure to listen to him. ❤
Thanks for your service Chris. Also that's amazing trigger control.

My time in service, late & early post-Vietnam war, was mostly boring, but I have to say, I don't regret not serving in a combat role. I was aboard ship my entire enlistment, so that was unlikely, but the men who went through SEAL team training have my highest respect, and those actually saw action in these conflicts, I'm in awe of: I salute your service and sacrifice!
Thank you Hero. God Bless. Thanks for your service and sacrifices

Hey Shawn, just a tip/suggestion, when you break an interview up into segments, can you label part 1, 2...etc along with the title plz? Otherwise, love hearing the stories.
It’s cool to hear of the US tier 1 guys working with NZSAS from New Zealand, where I’m from. If you have a chance, will you be interviewing any other countries tier one guys who worked with the US? There’s some great stories I’ve heard from some NZSAS

How do you not have the highest respect for all these dudes on this show. While most of us think we are capable of doing all this stuff, we cant. Say what you want about being no different, or having no quit, but these guys are a different breed. Its cool to hear all the joking and stories, but knowing elite teams are so extremely polished at what they do is comforting to say the least.
Great video

That’s weird why would he edit out the part where that bomb maker jumped out of the vehicle and got away
Same here man. Me too but I had 18 months work up.
Chris is an absolute warrior at heart and a amazing human being. America needs thousands more just like him. Unfortunately with the current state of our government and our military leaders being so pathetic and brain dead, It will be hard to get folks like him to dedicate their lives to serve on behalf of our great nation.
We probably all had friends like this. God keep their tortured souls. Ghost Platoon by Campbell is a novel written to pay homage to these men.
Respect 💯
Dear Shawn, I’ve heard several references to you being in that “I fucked up kinda” situations, noticed it from several interviews with SO guys. This guy blew his nose up, last one I recall was dude losing his gun in the surf. Id like to know your real situation of thT. I’ve heard you make references to deploying your light instead of laser by accident. Was that one of your f ups that’s was just straight noticeable or w😅as something else that sticks out? That stuff intrigues me soo much tot not make that mistake if my sons or I’m ever in that situation. You Mr. Ryan is super interesting and I’d like to hear your similar experiences in these interviews. I don’t look at it as egos and who’s story is better or whatever (that might be why u don’t?) but I’d just like to know and hear about it both experiences when hearing your interviews, especially with SEALs and other SO people. The trippy stuff I can tell my kids but I never did suit up for the shit you men did and I love to hear EVERYTHING about it. 3hour or 10 hour interviews, I’ll watch , listen and learn!
Good fire discipline! Give yourself a pat on the back.
Good man!!!

But then...pre-planned mission creep stoked by heinous misinformation. Big money though. If you own mutual funds then you profit from the war machine. Nukes make it impossible to fight a decisive war. Even the new USSR knows this. China would be different...but China owns the US debt. Read Sun Tzu and the Confucian Analects. We are living it.

Man you should try and get Mark Billingham on there. That would be epic
His lowvis statement reminds me of Noise Discipline NCOs when I was a young private in an 198HOW TOW Artillery unit (C 1/321 ABN) We would ride in on an FMTV Towing the largest Artillery Piece the army has. 8 trucks and Guns and after getting set up these two NCO’s would run around chewing us out for whispering to one another. Saying “Shut the fuck up! You need noise discipline” as if no one heard us coming for the last 20 miles STEVE!
So right the low vis is when armed in civis lol

I thought this was ryan sheckler at first glance
I think part of them going may have been to get all Tier 1 assets combat experience. I know the FBI was rotating as many agents through theaters to get experience.

It's nice he showed restraint, unlike the Delta operators that were onsite as advisors in Waco. According to congressional testimony, they placed shape charges on the vault where the women and children were hiding, attempting to escape the CS gas being pumped into the building. It was explained that the tactic of using shape charges on a concrete bunker or vault was not to gain entry, but to kill anyone inside, so any of the 25 children not killed by the CS were killed by the blast. It was also Delta operators that can be seen on the IR footage, shooting into the building to kill anyone that attempted to escape the fire through the gymnasium. I used to hold special operations forces in high regard, but the more I learn about their willingness to kill US citizens without cause, the less respect I have for them (including the DEVGRU operators that participated in a raid that killed an 8 year old female US citizen in early 2017).

It's crazy to see how these delta force operators have more compassion for a foreign enemy than our own law enforcement does for the people they're supposed to protect. If a cop sees a gun, they will empty their clips in you, maybe even multiple, even if you're within your rights exercising your 2nd amendment. We really do have a tyrannical police force and they must be defunded and disbanded if they're going to shoot you and your dog for exercising your rights.

Our law enforcement has very little training. As the police become less popular and less funded, they’re probably not attracting professionals nor supporting the development of well rounded men. Plus, violence on the street can be a lot harder to predict than violence in a war zone. Anyway, I am very upset when I hear stories like the police response to Tamir Rice and Breonna Taylor. But the police also have a hard job and don’t have the funding or training Delta does. I do wish humanity as a whole could improve though.
Chris is an angel. Of death when he wanted too if I remember correctly

@@Motorman2112 My point isn't about the actual age of the suspect. When you are looking down the sights at a combatant who is armed are they simply demonstrating threat? Somewhere on the YT world is a video where ISIS had taken it's young kids, armed them, trained them and then sends them into a building to clear it where unarmed POWS were planted for target practice. These kids were 10-14 yo and were well rehearsed in movement and the use of their weapons. They had zero hesitation in killing their unarmed practice targets. As @theshittybowman said above, "We are told we are allowed to defend ourselves." I am glad to hear it. But, are our troops TRAINED in the mindset to take out kids. When american soldiers are given their virtual scenarios or livefire training are targets generated that are women and children and threats? I'd hate for one of our guys to die because his enemy looked like his 11 year old sister but she pulled the trigger first.

Hopefully cops will watch this video and learn a lesson from a pro on how to handle situations instead of police continuing to redrum women, kids, and household pets then claim they feared for their life. Sadly, police fraternities continue to fund and provide legal representation to these type of cops, including derek chauvin. However, when there's a civil suit the police foundations, fraternities don't pay that bill, the tax payers pay it, while paying for the prison time and extra protection that cops and kid lovers need.
