- Chris VanSant had an impressive career in the Army. He retired with twenty-plus years as a Special Operations veteran, operating at the highest level in a special mission unit for a good portion of that time. He took part in eleven combat deployments as both a team member and team leader in 1st SFOD-D, deploying to Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Horn of Africa. During that time he took part in 500-plus combat operations. One of those operations was the capture of Saddam Hussein. But, all that time in combat took its toll on VanSant, as it often does despite the person or the unit they serve in, leaving Chris to deal with the effects of Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, and the dependence on chemicals that is so often associated with attempts to heal from injury. As you'll hear in VanSant's story though, he found a way out of the darkness, and continues to lead a life of purpose, developed through the moments he spent as a warrior in combat. Hear about his powerful journey of combat and resilience on this latest edition of HAZARD GROUND!

You have great taste! These are people who I massively respect as well they are a credit to America!!

@@Stand1ngBear Thats basic dude stuff bro!!!
Thank God this country has Spartans like him. God makes very few of these men.
Just poured my coffee, time to kick my feet up to listen.
Mr. VanSant defines what a tribal leader is. He leaves the village, postpones financial gain, and goes out and kills bad guys. Then comes home and gives back to the village by speaking to the tribe. I hope he receives some degree of salvation for giving us so much...he's F&!%N earned it!
Great interview, love this channel!
Thanks!!! 👊
When Green Berets look up to Delta it really tells you how good Delta is because Green Berets are amazing too.

is the smu unit he referring to CAG or Delta? could you elaborate on this a little more. Great episode as always! you have amazing guest keep it up =]
Cag is delta. Ace is delta. The unit is delta. SMU is delta.
@@mattpagel2328 Ace is not delta
@@3User Enlighten me. Are you kidding?
@@mattpagel2328 No, I'm not, the whole ACE CAG confusion was started when someone misinterpreted the name in a ft bragg phonebook, they saw ACE listed there, and assumed it was some strange new clandestine name for CAG. The details on what ACE does exactly aren't clear, but it's some sort of an intelligence unit under JSOC, staffed with interrogators.

42:52 so this guy says the plastic was laying next to the dude, but a different 'guy that was there' said the dude was holding it on his chest. So which is it?
Algorithm.
14:20 no way that company and those dudes aka lightweights would've been used by the US govt.
