When can you get Dale Comstock on your show?

I served with Tom in the 82nd when he was a young high-n-tight wearing, hard drinking, PT mutant/ Sergeant E5 that seemed to have a perpetual smile on his boyish face. Everyone liked Spoon-dog, and his impressions of our Company First Sergeant were hilarious. When I next saw him ten years later, it was in the middle of GWOT and he was sporting tousled hair and a fu-Manchu mustache. The ready smile was gone, and his eyes examined me with suspicion. Combat took away the old Tom Spooner forever. I’m so proud of what he’s accomplished and inspired by his story. God bless you, Tom; thanks for agreeing to this interview with one of the best in the business- can’t wait!

Kyle Lamb talked about being a Cadre for CAG’s selection when Tom Spooner went through. Tom failed a 5 mile timed run, the other Cadre wanted to kick him from the course, Kyle had him checked by medical. Tom did a 5 mile run with a broken leg. Absolute stud

That entire family is filled with studs I grew up went to school with both of toms sons became friends with his youngest almost the entire friend group had they’re dad in sf and we all went into the military every single one of us. I left the week after toms youngest son left we came out of the same recruiting station every workout was a competition between him and I and we loved it.

Proud to have Tom Spooner as one of our leaders. We are very much looking forward to this episode.

Been waiting for this one for years. Legendary for his career and even more so for helping vets and first responders after his military time. This is who young men should look up to

With the zealots yelling hate in the streets about our beloved country, moral starts to buckle but listening from one of our great American warfighters restores faith that all is not and will never be lost for as long as we have men like these walking among us. Thanks Shawn!

I hope this is one of those epic 4-6 hour episodes. This is probably the most excited I've been about a guest on here.

Same. Give me Tom Spooner leading all day. Thanks @shawneyanshow

Joined Patreon. Should have done that loooong ago. I have been so impressed with the content the SRS has presented. Many of these interviews need to be archived for historical reference. I never served in the military. Only male in my family not to do so. My service was the fire department, about an two hours outside the city. Non of my family that served in combat ever really talked about it. This show has given me a deep deeper appreciation of what they endured. I've laughed, been on the edge of my seat; shocked, mortified and hear broken. Been pissed off, and most of all been enlightened. Shed a few tears along the way at the brutal and unwavering honesty of the toughest men alive. I have been moved by your ability to listen, allowing the story to unfold. Gently, and respectfully nudging the often drifting conversation back on track. This show has kicked off countless hours of looking deeper into issues. Some issues I had no idea were issues to begin with. Thanks Shawn..

As ex ADF I am always blown away when guys like Tom say "12 Deployments", for ADF a deployment was 6-8 months but from what I understand with the USA its up to 12 months?. That's a decade of in country combat, just insane what a legend.

The reason why the US is the strongest and most battle capable and feared Nation on Earth isn't simply because we're just the best, plenty of other nations have elite soldiers and combat units, however one thing the United States has done since it's founding is always been at war so we have what many countries lack and that is experience and tactical advantage at war. You can build the biggest army in the world you want like China but when you have a bunch of kids that have never seen anything and even the generals have never seen any combat it's a totally different story than a group of men that have done this many times in a country that has constantly been doing this for 200 plus years.

If only incredible men like this had been able to serve under a righteous and moral government instead of the monster, the creature, the predator which is the United States Government. It tarnishes their reputations and calls into question the content of their souls. These are not the men of Valley forge or bunker Hill. They are the tendrils of a world covering Demon. Soldiers of Hell, not warriors of heaven.

This is going to be one of the most awesome interviews I’ve ever seen! 💪😎

Wow. I have always wondered about this guy. Heard much about him. Amazing that we get to have a front seat with you as you interview him. Thanks Shawn! 💪🏻

Tom Spooner, finally. this is gonna be a legendary interview with a legend.

Looking forward to this interview!!

I met Tom and he’s an absolute amazing human. 🙏🏽

Awesome, and powerful as ever. Looking forward to the interview

love Tom. him and his brother are 2 of the baddest men ive ever served with. Much love brotha, miss u guys.

Proud to say I’ve known Tom since I was a kid. My father dated his mother for years. Him and his brother Scott were some bad dudes.

I have to say your production from when you started the podcast has gone from very good to beyond amazing. Love watching the evolution of VE and your success. Cheers, señor.

The amount of knowledge and truths you are exposing just keeps getting better and better! Thank you and keep doing what you were called to do Shawn!! Fighting the good fight. God bless you and your family

When I was in Bagdad in 2004, I had a buddy that got attached to a unit going to Najaf. He told me a story about how they got pinned down outside this mosque in the ruins of this bombed out town. He said these two dudes walked up out of the desert, no patches, walked into this mosque and proceeded to kill everyone inside. He said they just walked back out and disappeared back into the desert. 'Wizards' is definitely the appropriate term to use to describe Delta.

The caliber of editing on these previews is just…. Idk. I’m speechless. They are utterly superb and that’s a serious understatement.

Thank you for bringing me back from the edge with these testimonies & your story, Shawn. Forever grateful. ❤

THANK YOU RYAN!! Have been waiting for this one for a long time!
