I was drafted & sent to Vietnam in 1970 only a few months after my cousin, my best friend, the guy I considered my big brother David... was KIA only 2 months after he arrived in country. I still haven't heard a combat veteran yet who can adequately describe the sheer terror, desperation, or chaos of an ambush & ensuing firefight. If you weren't wealthy, Draftees basically had 3 choices. Leave the country never to return, go to prison, or become a reluctant cog in politicians war machine. At the time the military had the unique power of forcing a normally good natured 19 year old kid out of his home & place them in a situation where it's either kill or be killed. The motherfuckers.

You are 100% correct though I thought my wife understood. Until I came to one night (from a life changer) with my K-Bar to her throat. Thank God she just said “I Love You” over and over and that I later learned, in therapy, is the only reason I snapped back saving her and possible our twins. This was the late 90’s and thought I was just being a bitch when I woke up in cold sweats (and vivid memories) so I never thought of “getting help”. My wife went and stayed at her moms for a week and came back and said if I agreed to get help with her in session (when gov’t allowed) I can’t remember a session she came to and didn’t leave the room early in tears and that still wasn’t the worst ! Luckily she stood by me, although I still see faces, break down watching certain things (esp children after waist I saw in Central Africa) but I haven’t laid my hands on another human being in violence in 20yrs now

I asked him and he said “ask John what he wants done with that one, the other two are just reminders of the worst of humanity as well as my ability to abandon mine “. Those words stuck with me though i didn’t understand the gravity, only being 14 and clueless as to what they were nor did I know my father had served. It wasn’t until i entered my Jr year at The Citadel and told him I decided to sign up that he he opened up about the scars I was always told were from bar fights. When I received my first PH he made the comment “this is the only time I can say I wish I had mine now”. Little did he know this kid had no thoughts of throwing those cool looking “thingies” away.

What I find truly remarkable isn't this man's reflections on the humanity of his foe, but rather the strength of determination to say "I'd kill him a million times over." To have this weigh so heavy on you and still have the will to do the hard thing, knowing how it will affect with the benefit of hindsight. That's real strength.

“I don’t even know this guy ... we’re just here in this place cause we’re in two different countries” Thats tough. When he says, “the other guy wasn’t wrong, he believes in his cause as much as I believe in mine”. This world is tough.

I've never heard so many deep words spoken, I had tears in my eyes. Hearing what this man had to go through, and I've honestly never gotten to hear anything like this from the source, usually they are to emotional to tell there story. Makes me want to be a better American, and show a little more American pride, and most of all show more thanks for our veterans. Sometimes we all get wrapped up in our own life, we don't appreciate the right things.

I don't understand PTSD from a veterans point of view, as I've never served. I have been a firefighter for 9 years and deal with a diffrent type of PTSD. I never took lives, it was my job to preserve life and property and to create order from chaos and destruction. Fighting so hard to save someone and then they die was hard for me. I could never withdraw myself from it. I always personalized every single patient I had. I still remember their faces, what they were wearing, what the weather was like, how the air smelled. I've thought many diffrent things like Dakota has. They have families they will never see again. Their generation stopped.. When you watch someone die, you can see the moment they give up. It's so heartbreaking to know that they fought so hard, I fought so hard, but their body just couldn't keep going. I struggle with those memories. Its easy to let your mind control you with the thoughts of what if I did something diffrent. It's easy when a trigger happens to get lost in a memory and it will consume you. I cannot imagine what this Marine went through. Fighting another human being who is trying to take your life is something I've never experienced and can only imagine. We are all human beings. We all have compassion, empathy, and regret. It doesn't make you a bad person to feel things like this. You're a human being... God bless you Dakota Meyer. You are the standard of the Marine Corps. Your values and beliefs are amazing. Thank you, Warrior. I pray you find comfort in your life before its over. If anyone deserves it, you do.

At some point someone or something will come into the equation that needs to be dealt with, and that is why people join. They want to defend their country that they love from a threat. I dare say a lot of military personnel know a large portion of conflict is complete bullshit, but they'll be there when things actually matter. Also consider the opposing side, such as Iraqi and afghan forces the west were fighting and the above still stands true IMO.

Intelligence (or lack thereof) is a factor, but the more desirable trait of a soldier is obedience. A typical soldier is no less smart than a humanities undergraduate. The difference is a soldier will follow orders and has a higher sense of duty. His contemporaries of the same generation (liberals, academics etc) mostly do not have these traits. So they pursue other paths - not because they are smarter per se, but that they aren't born soldiers. An officer is a very smart individual but will kill without hesitation. And there are PhD graduates (I know first hand) who cannot string a sentence together or use critical thinking outside their narrow research bubble.

This is why this is the craziest, most interesting, podcast out there.

I had an old neighbor. He was quite the war hero. His job was to rescue POWs. As a child I asked him if he ever killed anyone. He got teary-eyed and said, "I'm not going to answer that. You just cannot know how sad the look on someone's face is when you just shot them right through the heart while looking you in the eye. " It was over 50 years ago that he told me that. I never forgot it and I never will.

My family on my Moms side all come from that tiny spot with a cracked cement step leading to Aunt Lorains Cozy Corner Rest. My Grandad was Chief of Police. It truly is a small world.

So true, so sad.. no end in sight to this flaw in human nature

I really feel for this guy you can see the strain in his eyes. He looks like his soul is tearing itself apart

I feel for him as well. And, because I actually do care instead of cowardly joining into the Hollywood-produced military-industrial complex circle-jerk, I think we need to balance his loss with the loss of the people they needlessly kill which includes a lot of women and children being caught in the crossfire or, worse, killed indiscriminately. Joe giving voice to military people is fine, but Joe doesn't have the guts to do a show that actually exposes WHY these people are shoved into endless wars that are NOT fighting for our freedoms and make our nation and the world less safe. Here's someone with GUTS willing to tell the truth in a sea of Hollywood lies: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4GTwdOudd2uZ9I.html

nah I think that's a misread, he doesn't feel horribly about it or anything, it's just an intense moment, he's deeply thoughtful about it.

President Obama awarded Sgt. Dakota Meyers the CMOH for this day. He is a true hero that doesn’t believe he rates the honor. There is hours before, and hours after of combat which rated him the Medal of Honor. All said.... Humble Marine brother......

Quit blaming Hollywood for your life sucking. That’s like blaming Kentucky for the existence of mosquitoes. Moronic.

I can't imagine and don't want to ever have that berserk feeling. soldiers go through so much mental anguish. Thank you for putting your life on the line for our country.

Dakota has wisdom beyond his years. 21 years old on “that” day. I’m sure it haunts him everyday. How can it not? This is the second interview I’ve seen with Dakota. He says some very powerful things.

When he explained the part with the rock.. I felt like I was there. I can't even imagine being in a situation like that.

#DakotaMeyer.... We need more reason and compassion, cause love gets turned to hate too damn easily. You were reasoning and compassionate. You neither loved nor hated him. But you did feel compassion. That's what we need a lot more of. And you're a big precious example of it. Thank you for sharing your truth.

Crazy how he was treated in that teen mom show. What a freaking hero/bad ass/ everything in the dictionary that describes a person like you. 🙌
