Andy,Ilove that you are,but I felt like I was watching a Bruce Lee film.voice of timing from lip moving😂
Still good enough, I know several that are,and would. Shit,I didn't serve,hut I would
Recently retired my most prized possession from my time is probably the worn, torn, and dirty flag we flew over our compound in Afghanistan.
Powerful, priceless and badass iwu jima style
Thanks for your service. I 👂 him cry out to Allah and I thought standby he's coming
@@treyhazel9010 Jay Redman said that
@@georgecoull1883 yessir 👌
@treyhazel9010 you're cheesy and cringe bro
“ if you don’t deal with your shit, that shit will come back and deal with you”. What an excellent quote. 👏👏👏👏👏
@20:11 the Leeroy Jenkins reference I wasn’t expecting to hear on a podcast like this! If you know you know! Great podcast, thanks for the listen!
Looking forward to reading “Damn the Valley”. The fighting in the Arghandab was fierce without a doubt. 2C from the 82nd will have an amazing Book called “the Devil’s Playground” written by Andrew Bragg which is exceptionally written and will hopefully be out this year. Lastly, hopefully the third and final book in the series would be “the Sons of the Arghandab” the story of the Top Guns in the Devil’s Playground. Thank you for highlighting the efforts of War Fighters.
I know Bragg, don't know this dude, but he'll yeah, CCO needs a book. Fury from the Sky!
C 1-3.
Always worth listening to these podcasts. We need to remember!❤
Right on, looking forward to this interview.
Loved the content, just can deal with 25 minutes of ads for 40 minutes of content. I listen to pods while hiking, but can't hit 'skip' every 4 minutes.
I fully agree, i want to enjoy the stories, but i can’t because of ads….

Awesome brotha. Best job in the world 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Respect and honor for the men who run into hell and fight with fire. Just watched Mr. Ballen talk about the combat story that ended his Seal career, and it was very well told, he seems like a good dude, you might consider having him on the podcast for combat stories pt.2.
One of the military podcasts needs to have Terrance Popp on, former Green Beret. His unit was one of the first that guarded Abu Ghraib (not the ones guarding prisoners, the whole compound.) When they first came in there were Rooms with boarded-up areas, blood a couple ft thick. They jumped into Baghdad International as well. He has great stories. I think he would be good for Shawn Ryan since they are both into mental health.
Excellent content Andy. Always look forward to your stories.
Looking forward to the conversation and reading this book. Much appreciation from a fellow 2Fury (A Co) alum
Is this the guy who wrote Damn this Valley or something like that?
@@dontbugme7362The gentleman in the video wrote the book “Damn the Valley”, yes.
@@JFoMu thx, i listened to the longer interview AS did with the 2 authors
What's up AO Athens, C1-3 from AO Copenhagen. Fury from the Sky!
Totally a great listen 🎧
No matter where you see or hear Andy, it’s all war. I’ll bet he’s a blast at a party.
It's all relative, right? So more than you.
I forgot there were Tarot card readers watching. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The point is, it’s clear he’s institutionalized emotionally to war.
36 good show. thank you
Replaced these guys in 2010-2011. It was a fucking meat grinder. We were constantly finding land mines with jugs of hme daisy chained together with our feet.
Im all in
Its wierd that we are not fighting for our nation but others yall are so important to our survival plz stop hurting yourselves thats what they want
The show is interrupting the commercials. Unwatchable
History doesn't repeat but by God, it sure does rhyme!
I would like to see a comparison of the effectiveness of private vs government military.
Private is 1,000x more cost effective with 200x less casualties. Many examples out there.
Is Andy still going to keep doing his other podcast or is he changing it all up. I like cleared hot
I loved restrepo documentary
Were you on the Kandahar side of the river or jelawar side? Cop outlaw was relatively quiet when we left, didn’t stay that way long if I remember correctly. B-1/17 🇺🇸
Montana knife . Looks like great knives ... But who can afford 300 plus. Make a knife a blue collar working guy can afford
You should know metal working isn’t free and isn’t an easy skill. That man’s got a skill and I wouldn’t pay less than 300 for a knife from him. Not saying I can afford it but damn I can’t wait tell I can. 🤘🏼
I got one of the speed goats and I gotta say it was extremely expensive but the quality the sharpness and how light weight of the blade is amazing worth every penny IMO
Is this on rumble? Far better % on "tips". Yt takes to much. Thx guys.
41:43 and a lot of intel analysts involved are going to read this book, but to the point about expression, we’re invisible and silent.
He should have dressed up as Mickey Mouse to match his hat!!
I’m here
Do Navy Seals appreciate this statement? +1 for details management, F micromanagement (in society especially)
Holy fucking advertisements, batman
I like this format. A one hour commercial with a few breaks of some dude pitching his book.
Seals need to speak up in pacificism. They need a special exception and have the right to do that. Especially after retiring to prevent issues, but can speak with active service and discuss relevent contemporary issues. Americans don't give a F about war. Look at Ukraine, Yemen, other places you have been
19th!!!!

48:36 women who served downrange, especially those who were not fobbits (EOD, MITT, WIT, security, drivers, etc) are isolated and service dismissed.
Who cares? Women do NOT belong in combat areas. Period.
Don't sell alc nobody is honorable
There are more commercials than content. Next.
everyone knows there was no victory over there right? why do we keep acting like there was?
Who ever said it was a victory?
USA hasn't been interested in victory since WWII. It's all about the money.
