If all of our vets held some form of office, this country would be a better place by a longshot. Practicality doesn't get you votes, platitudes do. So glad this man made it happen. We need more people like him.

Not all vets are good people. Being in the military doesn't automatically make you a good person. It's a hard pill for many to swallow.
Thank you for your service. As a Navy Veteran myself it is an honor and privilege to hear your story. GO NAVY. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲⚓️⚓️⚓️
If you're a big brother to a kid who becomes a seal you know you must have done something right.

There is something so quintessentially American about the returning warrior becoming a statesman. It's like they have earned the right to lead.

CONGRESSMAN SCOTT TAYLOR OF VIRGINIA IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A SEAL . AND AS A YOUTH. RAISED BY A SINGLE PARENT, WHO LUCKILY HAD A BIG BROTHER TO MENTOR YOU, THAT YOU ACCEPTED. GREAT STORY.
Smart guy, glad to hear his talent didn't get wasted and he was directed in the right direction. I'm sure the very tight bond with his single Mother and the Father leadership qualities of his Big Brother Andy were his foundations and reasons for never quiting and thriving in one of the toughest communities in the World! Much respect from Canada 🇨🇦✖️🇺🇸=🏅🏅🏅

"Who submits to the cause greater than themselves"....the team. Best statement ever made concerning the Seal teams. I honestly think that's what it takes to be a veteran from any MOS or job in the military. But in the SEAL Teams it is absolutely Paramount. 6 yr navy veteran here

So in Ramadi, when he describes the house, the shark house was actually a four-story miniature hotel, where you had a really good view of multiple different streets and alleyways so it was really good for a sniper hideout

Well earned vote
What made me want to be Navy SEAL one day was from watching that buds class video in 2014 maybe. Ever since then I couldn't stop thinking about it. I still would want to try to be one today but with all this stuff I've done wrong lately, it'll just make it even harder I think. Well like I would have to clear all that first then join. Instead of just joining right away. That's what made me go back to get my diploma in the first place was so I could join.
31:00+ mind blowing spiritual ecstasy of knowing you won't be paralyzed knowing every single decision even in times you cant control increases that likelihood

Scott thank you for your service. Keep serving we need men like you. Also it’s time to have a draft and spread the truth to our youth about military service. I’m of the option if you haven’t served you don’t deserve to vote.
I like that guy even though he talks really fast . Imagine that a fast talking politician, I guess what I like about him is he is a solid guy who is well read and real smart, the problem is with the seals is thier stories are classified so you are not able to reveal the truth about how he got the medal of honor. So sticking to the story is a nonfactor. I wish him well and have hopes he stays the course and does not get bored with the inability of congress to make things happen. Thank you for your service
Congressman just run for President 2024 Please. You look and sound so Honest and level headed Sir. Thank's for being You.

Charles Ferer negative, he’s not a soldier. The Army has soldiers, Air Force has airmen, Navy has sailors, and the Marine Corp has marines.
It's cool hearing that our soldiers are given the authority to move around the battlefield and improvise missions. You have to trust those who work for you and delegate authority. Reinforce success.
I hope Mr. Taylor will run for President someday. Does anyone know if he's considering doing that? I've researched a bit and don't see anything about that yet. He'd make such a good one, in my opinion. Regardless, I appreciate the way he's already served our Country. God Bless him and his family.
