    My great uncle was in Somolia 92-93, he told me he reenlisted after seeing the pictures of their bodies, but never got to go back. I felt a great deal of anger too after seeing the footage, people laughing, mutilating, and standing over a dead American, its hard not to. To this day he curses Somalia to hell, he told me “I never saw one pair of eyes from there that didn’t look like they wanted to kill me”. A whole fucked up situation all around, and Somalia is still in civil war all these years later. No good endings here in the big picture.

    I am a Canadian...and the respect I have for Gary Gordon and Randy Shugart is endless. My 3 teen-age sons know every aspect of their deeds. Its one thing when you are in the shit and have to react to survive...and there are MANY stories of servicemen and women doing extraordinary things in those situations and I respect all of them. But those 2 men could SEE the crowds massing....could have chosen to stay in the bird and offer support that way....but they insisted on insertion. Makes me misty. (And Jocko....no disrespect I know you don't write the headlines but it is ...."Night Stalkers DON'T Quit!"...."NSDQ!".....not "never".....and it IS important....that's their Motto)

You tell peoples stories that make it a truly touching reality for all to feel and appreciate the sacrifices that are made on our behalf. God bless you and all your guests. My family and I thank you and Mike and all your guest for their incredible service.

    Dakota Meyer was very raw emotionally. I have listened to several different podcasts with Marcus Luttrell and Dakota Meyer. These two men and Mike and others feel that the day they feel they got there but kicked is the day they are most remembered and decorated for. We hear their stories and marvel that they dared to survive under horrific conditions. They express a feeling of failure of mission whereas we view it as a such a patriotic will to survive while continuing on in a new mission. The mission to survive, try and help others and to continue serve their country so brave and respectfully. So very honored that they share these stories and that Jocko reads these stories at just the right passage to paint an accurate and emotional mental guide.

    Wow! Mike Durant. The way he spoke of his brothers was just powerful. I could feel the respect. The sacrifice those men made is just absolutely unreal. To hear about it straight from the man who was there is so earth shattering strong. Pretty sure Jocko got choked up. Me too!

I wanted to share the story with so many. A few years ago I went to the Airborne and SF museum at Bragg and saw the exhibit from Somolia and the book and Mike Durant’s experience. He is a true hero as well as all those there that day. We owe them all a debt of gratitude.
