I looked at how long this was and figured I’d break up into 2-3 days. Kevin is so genuine, relatable and interesting that I I listened to it almost in one sitting but definitely within one’s day.

Kevins story is great and we need strong people like this to protect us. Thank you sir.

Kevin Owens may be the best guest in the history of podcasts. I've seen him on many shows and what's great is, he is not repetitive. He's the best story teller. His own podcast is also very good.

I’ve heard most of these stories through various podcasts including Kevin’s. I will listen to them every single time. Kevin is such a captivating story teller!

As an Irish American from Belfast. Really enjoyed this podcast. Thanks.

Kevin is a legend.

Very interesting conversation about Ireland and the IRA, and the history lesson behind the conflict

Kevin is the best, what a privilege to be able to listen to dudes like this have a conversation.

This guy is the real real deal. So glad he was able to transition to a USCIT. What a fortunate thing for our country. I’m figuring Mike Glover turned you on to him. Bravo Jack!!!

He is so right certin people feel a "call to service" but having a physical disability that disqualifies you from service is hard. Its like the head understands the situation but the heart is another story. Its something you truly want to do but you cant even have the option to try and fail can be rough. What a life and what a guy though great podcast.

You have a lot of fascinating interviews and this one with Mr. Owens is one of the best. I have listened to three of his since your interview. Came back to leave a comment. Love the history, stories and learning about operations! Really enjoy your books!!! Many thanks!!

Outstanding, I've watched other podcasts about Mr. Owens, but none as in depth as this. Excellent

Thank you for having Kevin on the podcast. His story is fascinating. Also, the opening snow story was quite amusing.

When Kevin was talking about his attitude toward Generals at the end of his career, I so related with him at the end of my LE career. It was time to go. I tried to keep my kids insulated from my world, but now my daughter is a nurse inside a jail. I think it’s good for your kids to know who there dad really is . . . now that you’re on the other side of the game.

It's all about means of revenue generation by incarceration for small drug crimes, so they can get a horrible plea deal, so the state can get a conviction. The war on drugs is a war on people. It's just sick. Drug dealers get 20 years, whilst pedophiles get 3-5. Fucked up world we're in.

@@NotOnDrugs So you prefer absolute anarchy in the streets? You're going to get that more and more and already see it in cities where district attorneys are soft on prosecution and sentencing. I agree the sentencing of certain crimes vs drug sentencing is horrific. Having worked narcotics enforcement for 6 years, I know what a losing battle it is because the demand is too high. However, if we don't attack it from several angles, including the street level user, we will have tent cities filled with drug addicted people everywhere akin to Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, etc. How do you feel when your car or house gets burglarized and your property is stolen just to keep your addicts in dope? It's not an easy fix or answer. I will NEVER be ashamed of my career as I and all my partners were doing the best we could with the cards we had/have within the system, which the US system is the best system in all the world regardless of its flaws . . . but this podcast isn't about the system. It's about Kevin Owens and the great work he did within the system. Let's celebrate him and his accomplishments.

The following book is very informative in relation to the stories of which Kevin speaks in this interview - "The Yank: My Life as a Former US Marine in the IRA" by former Marine Corps Sergeant John Crawley, 2022 April 1975. A young Irish-American from Long Island, NY, is on a mission to enlist in an elite unit of the US Marine Corps. His goal: to receive the most intensive and rigorous military training possible, and then move to Ireland to join the IRA and fight to end British occupation of the six counties of Northern Ireland.

Jack... If you are looking for good books about Northern Ireland, read anything by Martin Dillon. His first book was called The Dirty War, originally published in 1991. Pretty down the middle and fascinating.
