Agreed. Also, I thought that it was funny that he was wearing a Marvel Comics shirt because as a huge comic book fan and someone who aspires to work as a writer and artist and to make independent comic books/ graphic novels in the future, I've always thought that Rudy should make a comic book with his own Super Hero! Hell, he could even base the Super Hero character on himself and a lot of people who work in the comic book industry have even served in the military( which might surprise some people to know). I've heard Rudy say in the past that he was a fan of comic books and Spider-Man, so I really think that he should make his own comic book! I'm even going to see if I can contact him and suggest it to him( that is, if he hasn't already thought of doing it and isn't already planning on doing it)!

Remember seeing him in the PBS doc about the war, and it took me a while to realize it was him because his eyes looked so much different. I remember him taking a swig from a bottle mid interview. His eyes were more unnerving than any of the words spoken. They were dark and ice cold. Doesnt look that way now, glad he has found peace in this life.

Great to see Rudy on Mike Drop! Can't wait for Part II.....Great Job Mike!!

I've been a fan of Rudy's since Generation Kill back in '08.. So good to see him in a good space... But he's always so positive and hyped in his public appearances, you'd have a hard time recognizing if he wasn't doing really well. At any rate, excellent episode, can't wait for the next part. Thanks Mike!

Hi Rudy!!! Love you on Generation Kill..........thanks Mike!!

God bless you fellas! This talk is going to give some perspective and strength to young men who know the feeling of being a lost boy in a crazy world. The positivity is infectious. Thank you for sharing 🙏🫶

As a former CAAT Marine and Tow gunner I love the call out. We are so under utilized. Get one of us J-Tac certified and in support of a unit and CAS missions just got way easier. Also fun fact we carry the heaviest stuff in SOI now that they don’t let the 31’s hump the 50 lol. At least in 1/1 in the fleet back in 2015 we would regularly hike with 50’s, MSR’s, and mk’s. I remember during lcpls seminar and cpls course the 31’s and 52’s from CAAT would always be smoking the line guys even though we were mounted 50% of the time.

LOVE YOU Rudy will never forget meeting you in Baghdad on your 2nd dep. when you had just been through the 1st few firefights of your LIFE! you were at 1st Recon Bt. + I w as in the HALO TM at Force with your buddies Castille + Zissler, Nate Guy! In the 2nd Plt. with many of your friends Mike W, Hull, & So forth. Now to FLASH MESSAGE. FOR MIKE, Excellent because, NOW JUST NOW I WILL NEVER: care about your feelings; either! + RATHER I CARE ABOUT THE CONDITION OF YOUR HEART! ❤ YähuashuwåH.

Rudy is such an inspiration, God bless, thank you both for your service.

I was always curious what the Force Recon guys were doing in the early GWOT. I wasn’t sure how they would tie into the battle space not being part of SOCOM?

He wasn't force recon. He was battalion recon. They just drove around in a convoy of hummers trying to get shot at in front of the invasion. Then called in air strikes on whoever shot at them. Literally what they did.

@@joesgotya9930the reason that recon isn’t a part of SOCOM is so that Marine battle space owners can retain control/usership over them . Both Irag and Afghanistan had large Marine task forces that utilized Recon elements.

Great episode. But I’m surprised to see Rudy with his shirt on

Rudy Reyes is the real deal. You want a good story? Ask him about the time he and I got jumped by 20 roughnecks in Dallas 😂 😂

Great interview!!!👍👍

Guys like Rudy have given so much to this country and other countries- given their lives for others and it’s one of the worst feelings in the world knowing the government and the ppl in charge who put men like him in the position to be most effective just turned their backs on them and him during the time when they needed help and support the most. That story he told towards the end of this about the family wanting a paved road and Rudy’s ask for help being denied is a microcosm of how this country treats veterans after all they’ve been thru. We demand so much of them yet their brief plea for help goes unnoticed and turned down. Very sad man.

Great episode 🔥

We LOVE YOU FRUITY RUDY!!

That chant he did in Generation Kill when pappy killed the rpg team cracked me up. I'm guessing it was a eulogy for those about to getting killed!😂 Marines definitely have a good sense of humor. My son doesn't have any sense of humor about the war in Afghanistan. He was a scout sniper platoon for his second deployment because they made him a mortar man his first deployment. I thank God everytime i think about him making it home safely.
