Shawn Ryan is honestly a horrible interviewer and that’s coming from someone who watches most of his episodes. He has great guests and great production but anyone who thinks he is a good interviewer has the IQ level equivalent to a rock

This was another good one. I’m glad they made it through the corruption. It saddens me though at how corrupt pretty much every organization is. Especially our military. We desperately need change. Government from top to bottom needs cleaning. Our world is in a mess. Thank you for having the courage to bring the truth to light.

Being someone who gets in trouble for my lack of filter, I really enjoy and appreciate Mikes raw candor and straight forward personality. Great show as always. Mike and Shawn are the best.

The sad thing isn't that it happened to them (those who have been in from 1991-2010 should know how common professional jealousy is), but that it took so long for the truth to be exposed. Freaky Fred never stopped trying to get the actuality of this out. Good on him and the solid men there.

@40:52 Fred names CAG as the best Military Unit he was exposed to. Mad props for Delta!! Cody Alford also had high praise for them in his Shawn Ryan interview and stated that a lot of Recon/MARSOC guys had gone over to the Unit.

Great show, Mike. Disgusting what these people that are supposed to have honor have done to Soldiers. Thank you, Mr Galvin for your story.

Thank you. Both of you guys!

I was an instructor at MAWTS-1 from 2004 to 2007. Worked a lot with Major Greg Poland and a Capt. in Ground Combat Dpt. "Iron Mike" something? I cant remember his last name. But he got promoted to Major and went to help stand up MARSOC around 2005. I spent many weeks out in the Choc mts, Nyland, (even at Camp Billy Machen) and all the different LZ's Yodaville, Slab City, Condor, etc..... It was while I was at MAWTS-1 that I finally was able to really grasp the entire big picture of combined arms, joint operations, and how the MAGTF works.... Col Hondo Fox was the CO while I was there.... Also during that time was when they stopped CAX and started Mojave Viper and Desert Talon. On another note all the shit that CID, NCIS, along with Sr Officers and politicians have done and continue to do crucify Military members that were doing the job is disgusting. I Retired in 2012 and it couldn't come fast enough, after about 2008 it started getting crazy......... Semper FI!

Can't wait to give this one a watch, thanks for getting him on!!!!

7BOOM!! Ritland Drops Another One!*

Powerful testimony Mike! Keep up the great work!!

starting out the morning with #116. I appreciate it gents

I was in 1/8 2nd Marine Division and I’m blessed we had really good leadership and very disciplined Marines ( when we needed to be ). Semper Fi

Memorable moment @1:26:28 When Major Galvin turns to the camera and begins to tell us be ready for war with china when they invade Taiwan.

Another good informative episode. Keep up the great work Mike.

Man this keeps getting better and better!

So disrespectful to do that to our warriors/heroes. The government does f**k you at the drive-through with filthy s**t sandwiches. The media, too! You guys are amazing. Best in the world. You are appreciated, respected and loved. Look forward to watching this.

I have recently questioned, in my own mind, whether we actually need the media, in any way, shape or form. I prefer to rely on my senses, neighbors, family, friends, and number one, my faith, to guide me.

Thanks for sharing your experiences 👍 👍 👍 Thank you for your service 👍 👍 👍

This behavior must be attacked with every tool available to America’s warriors. This trend is more toxic that any outside enemy we will face as a nation. As a president once said we will not be destroyed from an outside entity but from within. This garbage backstabbing behavior is a cancer that will ruin the trust warriors must have in their peers and supervisors. I cannot fathom risking my life working with or for self serving trash like the people described in this podcast. Great information and his story was equally compelling on Andy’s podcast. Thx Mike

Semper Fi sir!

Great episode again no surprise there. Thanks to both of you for your time and service.

Mike, partner up with this man and write a book with him. The collaboration could be called, Unfucking America, The Sequel!

Excellent Show as usual.. Has MSG Kevin Holland (DevGRU & DELTA) ever been on your show? Would love to hear from someone who has operated in both Tier 1 units.

What a cool and varied career the Major had. Glad he was vindicated in the end and hope this new crop of MARSOC/Raiders are found not guilty, as well. Great job, Mike!

Thanks for keeping this in the light! Great podcast as always!

40:34 Mike didn't like that answer 😉 haha

Woop woop. Forgot it was Sunday.

Thank you both for you service. I appreciate your hard work with your videos and beliefs. Thank you.

Mike. I’ve gotta say this was eye opening to say the least. Took me a few days to listen entirely. But after the Eddie Gallagher case as well it’s scary what’s happening to our heroes on the words of some filthy terrorists!

Excellent brothers, lovin it !!!

Thank you so much

One of the best episodes. Love his personality, it's motivating and he has my vote if I ever had the choice!!

I served 21 years, 74-95, I have no trust in senior leadership.

Another great show

Thank you Sir for sharing your story, and the truth. I could not stop reading your book, and hope honor will prevail and these negligent leaders be brought to justice. ditch the dye, it's unbecoming, be a proud, natural experienced man.

Thank you for your service.

Semper Fidelis

Excellent podcast Mike. Fred is spot on.

Thanks Mike!!

Another great interview, took 4 different times to finish listening.

You've gotta get Erik Prince on here

And the military wonders why they have trouble recruiting.

This should be good for recruiting !!!!! Let alone special operations 🇺🇸

Good stuff sir

I love listening to interesting stuff I know nothing about. This one was a good one. As usual whenever there is a book I buy it so I’m looking forward to reading A Few Bad Men. Thank you Major Galvin for sharing your story. It’s was good for a change to listen to someone my age as I found you inspiring and motivational as you have done so much in your life to date and are still very much doing good things. Mint podcast as usual Mike and to all the listeners sooking about the adds, please stop. Suck it up.

I bought the book....

Nice!

Wouldn’t want kids to join the military after hearing how these marines were treated. I come from a long family tree of the military too. Unbelievable

We lost 22 Marines in 06.

God Bless Mike and Fred, on behalf of the people, for your resilience, and loyalty, to your principles, and to all of us. (Shout out to Elon, as well)

use your GI Bill for a degree or trade, set your children up for success so they never have to enlist in the military.

Wow, the information relayed by Major Fred Galvin about the military industrial complex, and our government is absolutely mind boggling. I was left disgusted and speechless by the end of this podcast. Americans committing treason should be hung, regardless of their status and/or rank.

Too many of these stories. Reminds me of the movie Breaker Morant. Our warriors are being sold out.

I would love to hear a response. Who in the government or prosecution or the officers named by Major Galvin, who among them would like an opportunity to tell us what and where the Major's testimony is false. Otherwise why would we not fully believe Galvin?

Backstabbing while wearing the same uniform? Sounds familiar.

Gummy Bears!?.....BBQ!?....Gummy Bears!?....BBQ!?......I got it, Tiebreaker.DOGGIES!!.. Anyway Thanks for your service boys

Not surprised at all to hear any of this... sad.

Just commenting and liking for the algorithm.

Marine Force Recon is the best of the best of the best , sir , with honors

As an old man that has not served, I discussed how this was done. How could the government do such a crapy thing to it's own. Glad they made it through it. Sounds like a lot of leaders need to give up there commission for what they have done. How do you believe what the enemy says over it own people who have a great track record? Kinda makes you think a wee bit ....

Yuma is an awesome community.

How soon folks forget about WWIi.

Just wow….tsk tsk tsk.

This is a hard one to get anything out of the fella loll

lol dam to just throw you men from 2nd Mar Div under the bus is CRAZY.

What I learned from 16-years in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa is war has nothing to do with killing bad guys, war is a business!

The backstabbing that is learning and basically tought in military is pathetic. I worked oilfield with 8 different guys back in 2010. They were all 25-28yrs old and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. All received ptsd checks and all one on one talked about killing the enemies. So basically every military guy I knew were front line guys. The way everyone of them tried to manipulate boss's in order to get ahead was pathetic. They would talk shit on each other every chance they had. It was so funny how spineless they were in order to get ahead. I am only speaking about the guys I know, not entire military. All made over 150k a year and bragged about getting free money from govt. As time went on it started to come out what their jobs in military actually were. Let's just say from what we learned only one or possibly two ever fired a gun. The rest of us long term oilfield guys just sat back laughing at them. Literally every day multiple of them were our entertainment. Eventually we started writing down everything they told on each other, we called em all out till most had to quit because there was no way they could show their face after we spread word thought the whole company. The reason I tell you this is because they used to pull the whole thing about they were like brothers and we would not get it, on and on and on. In the end they all cut their own throats against each other to get above the other. Brothers, if military makes you brothers, I don't want any brothers. Lol, it has taken me a long time to not think majority of our forces are like them.

Mike i say the same thing. Do not join now. I agree 100%

Outstanding podcast

After hearing stories like this, Eddie's, blackwater, etc.. why would anyone want to join?

I enjoy the podcast and WAS a loyal subscriber. Over recent time I’ve noticed more & more info-mercials type of break in the podcast. It reminds me why I do not watch live tv anymore. I wish you could do something like Andy stump where he gets the sponsors out of the way in the beginning of the podcast.

Options analysis.. is team thing. So..

Love the show brother!

I tell you what man……between this story, the shit Mattis pulled while SECDEF, and that nauseating story about Eddie Gallagher, never MIND all the woke bullshit going on……you couldn’t pay me enough to go into the military today. Which was always a huge regret of mine. The service used to be a HUGE point of honor for families. Gallagher would still be sitting in jail if it wasn’t for Trump. The corrupt brass in our military has made our country, terrifyingly weak. If we get the “red tsunami’ the (accurate) polls are showing, the GOP has an *EPIC*, not to mention historic, obligation to hold this corrupt filth responsible. I’d hate to think of what will happen if the GOP fails us again, after that past 6yrs.

Crazy. Shit sad how a lot of good military people are getting railroaded I don’t name people for not joining fuck that

To many lawyers…..

Oorah sir., I'd like to say I'm sorry our corps turned its back on us but what did we expect

I already have an extreme distrust of elected officials but this one definitely sealed the deal on my gut instinct while I was enlisted of not trusting certain leadership if their network is far too deep. Not just their network the attempt at furthering their career with unsafe acts While roads were black we assumed this camp was so hard up for more artillery rounds we would risk the convoy out there to get them resupplied… yeah no our company commander wanted to look good for the BDOC commander so they could go enjoy a fuckin field artillery competition In the middle of the fuckin GWOT!!! We find out after the fact of course and thankfully nothing happened but I knew it was time to check out as soon as we escorted them back out there to “enjoy” the festivities

Riley the call of duty Ghost dog I LOVE YOU NOW AN FOREVER

I thought Mike did such a great job of bluntly asking, more than once 'OK, but can you explain precisely why these high-ups went after you, & why they went after you so damn hard??' I didn't hear Fred (we're buds, so I call him Fred) give a straight forward answer...he made it clear that he was a hard charger, & 'they' didn't like that, but really? THAT's it?? THAT's the "why" for accusations this egregious & this detailed??? I'm re-listening to that part, & yes, that's what Major Fred is saying...no more & no less than that, so...alright, that's it. When I think more about what he said, about how the high-ups really really really don't like it when anyone goes against command, I'm getting closer to being able to intellectually believe that "they" went after Fred so hard, so publicly hard...with details that they had to understand would cause all sorts of investigative journalists to tear these 'facts' apart, & finally get at the actual truth, all because they didn't like him. So odd that this actually happened/is happening. To be crystal clear, what I'm struggling with are the accusations...anyone involved in a setup like this would certainly understand the attention it would draw, from outside the Military, & that whatever the truth is, it would eventually be found...so why/how is such a decision made to go at it this way, when it leaves them wide open like this? It just doesn't add up.

you lived a hardcore life an I wanna hear about your hardcore stories

Truth is young folks are losing their lives for someone else's financial benefits. Vietnam was the biggest example of this. There was never a plan to end it but to on!y to kep up filling pockets.

Hey Mike why is a K9 unit called K9 ?? I know it's a dog call sign ... Buy why exactly K9 ?

Glad this guy was acquitted but he needs to be arrested on how he answers questions because he’s a psycho. How did he turn a lighting round into a half hour?

American Hegemony please all the way to Taiwan

Way too many similarities between what happened here and the Blackwater guys…

How many years now and audio is still weak and feeble.

Dood is hard to follow

I can’t be alone in thinking there are valid ways a general’s advice could be genuinely useful to a war machines producer. I respect this guy deeply but I feel like he’s got some unresolved anger clouding his judgment in certain areas. I know I surely would. But I want the military to be advising those companies. Especially generals who were grunt types instead of pure nerds. It will help them make things useful to grunts instead of stuff that gets people killed because it takes pure nerds to use it.

The problem is they start lobbying and politicking for these companies, or organization/groups, before they leave the service. They use their rank to trade favours and secure a job after. It is also often why they get that rank, after doing favors for those above. It can be a fine line sometimes but anyone paying attention can see the type, and the extent, of corruption that these traitor's are perpetrating.
