I just remember him calling me a day early for my birthday to say he couldn't call on the real birthday because he had a deployment. Thank God he called me back about 10 days later to say he made it back in country & was OK until their next go-round. I praise these guys for their skills that I can't even begin to imagine.

This was a life changing podcast for me. Him talking about his transition out, finding his meaning in life. He didn’t survive all of that just to make nothing of his life. Although I didn’t serve I’m dumbfounded that I’m alive still, there has to be a reason I’m still here and I have been turning my back on that reality for too long. I will never forget this podcast and I will always be thankful to Cody and Shawn.

Why do you think they get psych evaluated first yet still are KILLERS, they only choose psychos that don't question going over that hill to kill these villages. Yes sir!

Zimbec the Lion was the Echo company commander for 2/1 when I was in Falluja. Was an amazing man and leader.

I haven’t watched much Shawn Ryan but it’s so refreshing to see a content creator with great interviewing skills. Shawn lets his guest speak and share their story but interjects occasionally to help add clarity for his audience. One of the best I’ve seen at it. Really great work.

I served in 2/1 in Fallujah when Cody was there. Capt. (at the time) Zembiec was a badass commander, and he was a man amongst men. He lead from the front and was respected by everyone, enlisted and officer. Cody isn’t lying…there were bodies everywhere. I’ll never forget my dear old friend, “half the man he used to be.” We watched as the dogs were fed from him and he turned black in the hot Iraqi sun. It was a helluva time to be in Fallujah.

I love podcast like this cause it brings true conflict, real firefights, and the intensity of war!!! I was there in 2004 1st battle April 2004-June 2004 and 2nd battle December 2004 it was crazy surreal the wild west of Iraq everyone supported everyone I was with 1st ID supporting and it was hell on earth definitely got desensitized on that deployment then I went to Rahmadi in 2007 and got more desensitized! War is hell and there’s nothing glorious about it it’s survival kill or be killed I was more worried about my battle buddies than myself.

I have 2 of my three grandsons serving now, one Air force Combat Air Control, the other a USMC Intelligence Both high IQ,, It surprised me when each came to me and told me before they told their Parents. I taught them rifle fundamentals and hunting skills when they were very young. Fantastic show Mr, it's my favorite, and you are by far the best listening host ever!

People out of the services always do a big whoop kind of thing, they dont understand what these people are capable of. When we worked with them, it was sometimes something youd watch in early training or workups knowing who these guys were. Its hard not to. But in the field the first few times, its just a jaw drop. You sit there after the fact, and know I'm in a pretty high speed group, but those cats are on a different level. Like a high school football player watching the guys in the superbowl. A lot came from SF, some of the best instructors of firearms and fighting on the planet. They would hold class and show stuff when they could, and when people speak of how they can make friends quickly anywhere, they are dead on. Its just something amazing, most of those cats are a mix of an olympic athlete and a Rhodes scholar. Thank God theyre on our side.

I was just a regular 03 at the same time and same place in Fallujah. It was wild. These dudes in their mid 30s showed up with gear like we had never seen before. They shared watch with us, which allowed us to rest more. They all went by their first names, had longer hair, wore baseball caps. They were gods to us. They had .300WM & .50cal sniper rifles. There was a Marine with our snipers named Place. That dude was a straight up killer…he laid so many people to waste and that group of snipers defined what our TTPs became in urban warfare. The craziest thing about these Delta operators is that they like normal guys that just wanted to get some, like the rest of us.

I served with Doug on 26th MEU(SOC). Incredible Warrior! He is missed.

I had something really urgent I had to do 15 minutes ago I'm so glued to this story I forgot what I was doing. Cody is a tremendous storyteller!

Letting these men tell their stories is priceless. Thank you for the great content.

I just found this channel last weekend, now I’ve been binge watching the shows none stop! Looking forward to the next one!

You gotta interview the 1stSgt from that deployment. Dude is an absolutely savage. Teaches inter service range safety out of Quantico now.

It was really interesting to hear about using the Unertl scopes with web reticles. I come from my family's sporting goods store in Pennsylvania and have seen many of the Unertl scopes (made in Erie, PA). Way back when, those used to be THE brand to go to when people needed a darn good scope to shoot far away and very accurately. Thank you for sharing stories of the amazing individuals you have on the chanel.

I cant imagine being in that type of a situation. Its crazy to hear stories like this, when I had this weird fear of death that hit me at night around age 8.

This is the best show ever, always has on the top SF guys from all branches. I can't wait to watch this one. Hopefully you will have someone in from the unit at some point too. And the PJ's

Thank you both for your services.

I'm so proud of those Marines of 2/1 , they are my heroes! It's an honor for me, to be called a "brother " by some of them guys I've met, especially as a civilian who's never been in the military. Thank you for sharing this. It means alot to me, listening, bringing back many thoughts and prayers from the time in 04. I want to say, you guys are the very best! Your the finest I was thinking of, when I created this saying which is true, " When your life is on the line... Only the "finest" will do!" I wished I could of done more to support you guys, as this one Marine asked another Marine in combat "Who's this friend of yours who sends you all this gear?" "All I get is Fucking cookies! lol" For me the look into a crying eye, who says to me, "Dave you'll never know how much that means to us!," those care packages you sent us. Honestly I said, I'd sent them to my buddy, and told him whatever he couldn't use, to pass it along to his friends which I'm glad he did. To me it says more than words can compose, the tears says it all, and comes from the heart of someone who has given their all, even giving of their best arm falling onto a hand grenade that exploded seconds afterwards. Later after hearing of the heroic efforts to save his life he tells me what happened to him after this grenade exploded... At first they got hit with several grenades on the rooftops and thought the insurgents were throwing rocks, as they'd forgotten to pull the pins on them before throwing them on the rooftop as throwing rocks is a middle east custom, he says... It was a miracle, as after the 4th grenade hit them but didn't explode ! Then one of those grenades exploded he says over at a area where they put there gear at, as no buddy was near it when this fifth grenade exploded. That was a miracle I thought, but he goes on to say the next thing he hears is Grenade! He literally dove his body on top of his machine gun to try to protect it, as this next one rolls underneath his machine gun, and its tripod and blows the gun up along with his arm that took much of the blast that looked like a bowl of spaghetti, all the muscles and tendons. As he says to himself, well this is the day, this is the place where I'm going to die, right here in Fucking Fallujah, Fucking Iraq! With every heart beat he could feel the life blood leaving his body. First thing he noticed was his wrist watch was melted into his wrist ... He says to himself "You know that should really hurt!" Realizing he's going into shock, he sits back and begins taking it all in, the silent screaming of others kicking back away from the roofs edge, deafened from the blast! One Marine is covering his neck as blood is shooting out like a fountain, every which way between his fingers as he's moving his hands trying to cover his wounds. He's looking around at everyone, then suddenly out onto this rooftop from the doorway of the stairwell, comes this Delta Force Medic, with his arms outstretched with a scrap piece of wire between his thumb and index finger, taught across to his other hand. He says it looks so odd, the way this Delta Medic is running, then he noticed his feet weren't touching the ground, he was levitated as he ran. Like seeing someone running up escalator stairs at the mall , the two speeds combined faster that what a person can run on their own. Why did he come to me, this Marine asks? "There's others hurt worse than I... And where did he know to get the wire he used from, because haji doesn't leave something like that laying around, they'd use it for an IED, but not only that, there was none of that wire type found anywhere in that city... so where did it come from? Then the other issue was how did this Delta Medic make it up this stairwell as he discovered it had been blown up, as he fell down those two flights of stairs, into a bookcase that helped cushion his fall, as this Medic rushed him to those stairs and helped push him over the edge, to get him off the roof. There's no way this Delta Medic should of been able to even make it up to the roof, as they'd put the bookcase over a window so the enemy snipers couldn't see them moving up and down the stairs, but the stairs and window were completely gone from an RPG hit. When the Corpsman got to him, downstairs they were in shock seeing him standing there holding his bloodied arm, that got all this matted dirt and dust in it, so they had to amputate it later he said. Then this other Marine steps up and says, Dave you don't understand, I was there with him in combat, and he's never told anyone this story of what happened , your the first person to hear about that day that a Delta Force Medic performed supernaturally to save his life, and the lives of others, on April 26, 2004 this Delta medic came running in like an angel that rescued him, saving his life with a piece of wire and of the true nature of a miracle that happened. What few people know, even fewer people would ever even understand.

The reasons for going into Iraq may have been more complex than we understand. I thought it was a terrible thing, but information is coming out about other reasons for the Iraq war.

I wish we could have went after Iraq when Kuwait was secured in 91. It was a let down when President Bush ended a that conflict. With that said I can’t wait to hear this upcoming show!!!

One of the main reasons was to put Iranian southward expansion in check. The regime was slipping and it was a matter of time before the Iranians pushed south. It was decided to push in to counter rather than wait. So they fed the American public a line of shit for support and went for it.

Left this comment maybe a month ago or so on your question about length of videos: “Viewers/audience of this channel certainly don’t listen to SF interviews to hear mellow, watered down, politician feeling interview.” Absolutely zero watered down politician feeling bull shit in this video! I’ve shared this video with nine of my friends already and they’ve all subscribed. Can’t wait for this one. Keep up the great work, Shawn! 🇺🇸

Good god I cannot wait for this episode. I’ve wanted to hear more from this guy for quite a while.

Such an insane, intense story & how vivid his memory of it all still is , Is mind blowing. Guys a real life true American hero!

What they don’t tell you is that when they were “stacking bodies” - they were also stacking a lot of civilians. Under the guise of “proportionality” and “military necessity” dozens and dozens of civilians including women and children were cut down, butchered as Marines opened fire on anything that moved.
