It's been over a year and every time the withdrawal of Afghanistan is talked about, I am angered and broken hearted at the inept of the American government and its top military leaders. There are no words to describe the sadness I feel for the thousands of men and women who sacrificed life and limb.
It was not the military leaders, it was the American president who sent our service members into a country that didn’t want to be better. The Taliban didn’t steamroll through the Afghan population on its way to Kabul, it drove right through town because people supported them
Realism? You mean ignorance. You do understand that the Saudi/UAE are not only the ones who flew planes into the towers (and ever other Islamic terrorist attack you can think of) but they are also who trained, equipped and educated the same fricking Taliban you are calling monsters.
This breaks my heart. The fact that some Afghans thought putting their lives at risk to flee the country shows how scared they were. RIP to the men, women and children who perished.
Same as our southern border, our war on drugs made the cartels more powerful than the mexican govt. But people want to build a wall like its not our problem.......
What makes us think that the people unwilling to stay and defend their own country are going to be willing to defend our nation if it ever faces a crisis... I will never understand this popular mythos about the 'good' refugee.
My friend was a member of the SART (Special Air Rescue Team) team of the Republic of Korea Army which coordinated rescue missions to get Afghan refugees out of Afghanistan to Korea. He said that it was possibly the most tragic things he had seen and he probably would not forget what it was like. Everything this guy said, my friend said the same thing. The desperation, despair, and chaos. My friend says he wishes that they could have taken more of those refugees to Korea.
I’m an Afghan American born and raised in America. God bless you Tim Kennedy and all the Americans who did their best to help the Afghan people. This was so tragic to listen to.
Bro americans devastated and kill thousands of afghan ... of you rally an afghan you Ben drinking the koolaid for tol long that you buying into this bullshit propaganda
You're American with Afghan Ethnicity g. I am born and raised in Canada and my dad is Moroccan. I am Canadian, not Moroccan because my dad was born there.
What Tim Kennedy did was nothing short of heroic. He risked his life to enter a hostile foreign country, rescuing thousands of people without expecting anything in return. That is simply commendable. He deserves some kind of humanitarian reward.
I mean I heard from several guys who were there on the ground tim frequently got in the way, caused issues with security, and made situations about himself when he didn’t need to. at one point he allegedly helped drive a bus of civilians through an alternate checkpoint near abbey gate, which they had to turn around and dedicate resources to herding those people out because they hadn’t been verified by the state department. Just off of what I’ve been told by marines who were there, he apparently was a problem. Don’t have any way to verify these stories but idk why they’d lie to me unprompted
And like most tragic stories, 0 accountability from the government (regardless of party) and it is just swept under the rug like Benghazi or [insert avoidable tragedy here]. And over time like so many things that have happened end up trailing off to be forgotten. Which is what the government hopes for.
@@hzafary "I like pancakes." "OHHHH so you hate waffles??" C'mon man this isn't Twitter. His stories here don't undermine anyone else's theirs are just as important for the world to hear as well but in the current videos context we ain't addressing every one of those stories.
whats chilling is that we are very capable of acting in the same manor, the Taliban is the same humanoid as us, germany was considered in a sense even more civil than the usa ,before hitlers radical brainwashing took over, than they acted very similar to the taliban,only keeping people to exploit for their skills and eliminating the rest or work them to death in simple work, its so hilarious that todays black people are trained to be traumatized by the slavedom of their forefathers by the white man ,not realizing that those forefathers were sold by their own kind into slavery and might have in some cases had a better life than had they stayed in africa were tribal wars was the norm and so was cannibalism,those slave ships were horrible ,it was very wrong, but in the grand sceme of things you are here because of them and now is good for you so embrace what you have and use it to make your life the best it can be,don't dwell at the past

While we were there the amount of babies and children that got seriously hurt and killed by the parents trying to get them into the compound by hurling them over people and fences was the most tragic thing I have ever seen in my life and I've been through 7 deployments and many more contracted stents.

And people here are freaking out when their Amazon package is a day late. How unbelievably sad this is. Thank you Tim and the rest of our brave military.
Because people's problems are relative to their life. Just because people are experiencing brutality in some countries doesn't mean others have no right to complain about inconvienences/hardships in their lives. It's incomparable, and a shitty argument. To say other people have it worse doesn't lessen the pain or hardships people experience in more "developed" countries. Especially if the people bitchin about a late Amazon package haven't experienced many extreme hardships. I'm not sayin they're not little bitches about it sometimes, but no shit it's mundane and obnoxious when you compare it to literal execution and slavery. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to bitch and complain.
Those afghan people falling from the airplane when it’s 3000 feet in the air were fake CGI. It is humanly impossible to hang onto the landing gear of a plane while taking off and then flying to any altitude, how dumb can people get thinking that people could hang on for two minutes while playing ascends in the sky traveling nearly 300+ miles an hour. No person on earth thinks that could have really happened we’re not blindly accepting the fake US propaganda news media story

Sure most do not endure this type of situation, but I don't know which ones have or haven't, therefore if there is a chance, I want that person to know we here in America thank them are there are those of us who appreciate them. Besides that, anyone of them could have ended up in a nasty situation, some did and some didn't.... GOD BLESS AMERICA!! Thank you God for the gift of being born in America.
I just missed this deployment (was in retirement process), Been to Afghan 8 times out of the 13 trips, and I can say this wasn't planned properly. I was on base when my team came back and they were visibly shaken by the experience. When he said its nothing they never seen before, believe him. Each time I left I was never the same, mission oddly was, but you as a service member leave a piece of yourself wherever you go. When you hear these stories, people dont understand why you feel the need to go back. I left 8 times and upset that it wasnt 9, because you feel like you need to be there to get the pieces you left there. Those citizens and the other people who believed in helping rebuild their nation are a piece of you.

Remember who's responsible for this. Politicians in Washington orchestrated this because we the people were tired of war. This was punishment because they were forced to stop their occupation. Hold them accountable
I absolutely love that in spite of our government’s ineptitude and absolute failure to handle this or even hold anyone accountable, our people can step up and take the reins
The US is getting something it never really had before. You know the right to bear arms and the people's militia to help keep the country in check? Well now a good portion of that militia is highly trained spec ops personnel (as well as other branches), some of which are highly visible and shine a beacon of common sense and human decency. All of which band together as brothers. All the NGO operatives and the companies that supply them; the US is almost running a second, none government based armed forces at this point I seriously believe this to be a great thing, wish we in the UK had the hopes of something like that
@@AngryOscillator One issue you have in the UK is alot if you have given up hope after Labour put in the crazy restrictions. Most of you don't even know you can buy/own/use all sorts of stuff you probably don't even know about. Example, you can get a Barratt 50 cal R99. Carbines. Single rack ARs. It sucks but I bet you didn't know that.
We spent 20 years and over a trillion dollars to replace the Taliban with a well armed version of the Taliban. Its the biggest military screw up in this nations history, but its done by the establishment losers so the media does not report on it. Never forget, never forgive our evil govt for doing this.
Met Tim last night at an event. It was so random that I had to ask HIM why he looked so familiar 😄 It finally occurred to me that it was a Joe Rogan podcast and I had to come back and rewatch it. He was so lovely and positive in person. I've had different experiences with other elite members of our military who had the guts to do what they did, but not the fortitude (?) to work through the issues and come out on the other side so positive and willing to do the right thing. No judgement for that other guy (it would suck), but only grateful for Tim's positivity and willingness to use the skills that God gave him and that he practiced and honed. Thanks from this grateful old lady.
Mr. Kennedy is hands down top 10 JRE guests. His insight, his foresight, and his humility make everything he says, worth listening to - wrong or right.
I remember the desperation trying to escape from Afghanistan during Soviet Occupation. It’s like everything he’s saying is so accurate, nothings changed since we left back in mid eighties. it’s like instant PTSD, things I hadn’t thought about in so long.
Thankfully Congress is having prime-time televised hearings to get to the bottom of this absolute catastrophe and hold the leadership accountable. Oh!! They’re not? Shocking.
@@tkbikesnc6079 They are multi-tasking. They're destroying the economy, our position on the world stage, our allies relationships, and blaming everyone else for it.
I was there during the last two weeks in Kabul. It was unbelievable and life changing. Likely the most significant moment in my life and everyone on the team with me.
I worked and lived in HKIA from 2019 to June 2021, I was home in the UK when the collapse began. I'm not military or ex military but I wanted to go back and do something, anything; It haunts me everyday that I couldn't but it does bring comfort knowing people with the training, equipment and knowhow were able to get back to help as many as possible. What you guys did out there is nothing short of heroic
I was in Afghanistan with the Canadians in 2012. My roll was to lead convoys from the weapons and ammo facility to the final training camp of the afghan national army. My American counter part (awesome dude straight professional) after delivery of 4.3 million dollars worth of small arms, ammo, radios and such, he looked at me and said “all of this will end up in the hands of the Taliban.” He said we’ll be back in 15 years getting shot at by our own guns. I didn’t believe him.
Wow... Just wow... He foreshadowed something big... And sadly something true. Thank you for your service. I wished the Bundeswehr sent my Regiment to Afghanistan so we could have helped at least a bit.
I was in Iraq in 2003, 2004 and 2009. While it would t compare to Afghanistan, from the moment we crossed the border, it was obvious we had no hope of achieving anything. Our leaders made every mistake possible, lost INSANE amounts of equipment and supplies on a regular basis thru not being able to do the basics of soldiering. Map reading, talking to locals, insuring a good supply chain all fell to the wayside. most were too lazy or cowardly to go on convoys or patrols. I always hear about how professional Americas military is, but my in experience, it was mostly just s bunch of ignorant kids (like me) taking orders from clueless career men.
@@edwardomurphy8749 Seems like thats the case for every military. Dude in the trench is good to go. Dude behind the desk is questionable. Dude 10km behind the front line is more political then a solider.
@@moerockha625 Absolutely. We literally gave fuel, water, food and weapons to guys who let us get ambushed right in front of their checkpoints and buildings. In our case, we supplied the Iraqi Policec and ICDC. It was blatantly obvious they were nothing but gangsters. History is doomed to repeat itself. High five to you for serving, bro :)
@@edwardomurphy8749 When that mini series Generation Kill came Out on HBO , I called my friend in Marines, just back from Iraq , and asked him in sarcastic way, there is no way that dumbest person is the Captain in Charge. He told me it’s sad but very true. And as you said the rest are young kids that have to follow the orders even when everyone knows their completely wrong.
I was at Ramstein Airbase with the American Red Cross when all of these people were getting off of the planes. It was one of the most surreal things I've ever seen. The most memorable thing I took away was the beautiful color in so many of the kids' eyes.
Glad to know Tim shared his experience...surreal but at the same time great to hear his perspective. The real crap and not what the media showed. Sooo sad how they withdrew.

I remember Tim as a young man and was there not only when he decided he wanted to be a fighter but also when he decided to leave his fighting career to fight for our country. I was his youth leader in church and I must say I was so proud to watch him grow up!
@@russhamilton3800 too much green and red tape with a full scale military extraction, a team of 3 talk to 1 person in differing levels of command in the structure, can also skip levels if you have contacts higher up, whereas military has to go step by step to get the correct permission and record that permission as they go, just a massive cluster fuck really
I saw a video of Tim talking about PTSD on Rogan about 3 years ago when he dismissed it as people with weak minds (at least that was my interpretation and overall sense). I think he just got a rude awakening in Afghanistan now. I’m not saying this to put him down, it’s just an honest observation. I hope he can recover from what he saw, I’m sure he will, but there will be a lot that will stay with him forever, from the sounds of this harrowing account he just gave in this clip.
I've been watching Tim since Strikeforce days and man.... His war stories still give me chills. He should not be alive. He knows it. But thank God he is. What a man.
To me it sounds like he just described being a traitor. The UAE is allied with Al-Qaeda. It was never about democracy or 9/11 or any of the other BS they feed us.
@@gavinl4388 It's sound like they were traitors to their country but these were intelligent people, hoping their helping of America might bring some sort of peace to their country in the long-run... Yes they may be traitors in black and white terms. But that doesn't excuse the human element of working long days and hours with someone with a family and feelings, who is now, under threat of being wiped out.. I agree with terminating bad people. But we are a human race, who can collaborate. Why should America just "dump" people who helped America carry out hundreds of operations? If you can help, you should. America is all powerful and should show mercy as well as peace when carrying out these wars
My son worked the north gate with the Marines 1/8. He was on his first deployment a 20 year old kid. He told me he now knows what true evil looks like. My son said what he saw done to women and kids and men was appalling. They put our kids on a high wall with no cover. My son said when he posted up he saw a look of worry in his staff sargent eyes when he told him to take action if he saw anything at all. Then after watching fellow military get blown up and not being allowed to fight for their brothers and sisters and then made to clean up the effing airport for terrorist. All the while our idiot president was kneeling on a stage to show his solidarity to people who disrespect the flag. Do you know how much anger I felt watching that.

This guy is a sniper, he's used to look people's eyes before he blows their heads away and celebrate with a Cuban cigarre. God knows how many of those children he killed in Iraq too.
Eh, I'm not sad for Afghanistan. I'm more concerned with the 250k unidentified humans that walk from Mexico into the USA every month. Instead of shooting the Taliban for being shitty towards gays and women, we should be shooting people sneaking though the desert to avoid being identified.
@@BudMasta right? Or the airstrikes where 95% of the deaths were collateral damage and not authorized targets. Every dead Green Beret and Navy Seal in the sands of Afghanistan is a blessing for their people.
Tim, what you have done and continue to do cannot be described. Hero is not enough. Thank you brother and may GOD continue to bless you abundantly and keep HIS hedge of protection over you daily.
Tim is right. I remember that - months before this went down - my Special Forces colleagues in an online forum (it is a forum limited to vetted SF fellas) predicted exactly what happened. So, if we lowly retired Special Forces members knew, how could all these high-level, graduate-school-educated, general officers and politicians not know. It was either incompetence or willful negligence. Either way, why no one was held accountable (except that one Marine whose sin was to publicly criticize his superiors) is just amazing and sad.
@@Juan-hv9bi These decisions are not made in the ether. While the machinations of decision-making involve large groups, the final recommendations given to the chief executive are authorized by a handful of people within the National Security apparatus (general officers and political appointees). Of course, the President is the final decision-maker. As Lt. General (ret.) HR McMaster once wrote (I'm paraphrasing here), a soldier who loses a rifle faces stiffer consequences than a general who loses a war.
This interview allowed a lot of powerful Joe Rogan style insight that myself and many needed to hear. I mean a picture has never been so painted about the situation and complexity as this first hand account. I felt like I was in a Jason Statham movie while he was narrating. I couldnt imagine having to survive such things. I had it had here in America also abusive household neglegent single mother home in extreme poverty no running water at times.

It didn't have to happen. Elections have consequences. Everyone who voted for Biden has blood on their hands. It doesn't seem like they really care though.
This is how we've repeatedly abandoned allies since 1974; how anyone can call policymakers responsible for these shameful actions "elite" is beyond me. Only our warfighters give me hope.
I understand your frustration but this is the reality of "countries" like Afghanistan. I put quotations because that country only exist as Afghanistan because the British decided to draw a couple of lines and call it that. It was never going to last as soon as the US decided it couldn't prop up a fake country any more. I wish we would have rescued more people out of the country before it fell and think this current administration deserves that criticism but, staying there long term was always going to end that way. If you want to really control these countries, you have to install authoritarian dictators or theocracies. It's just the reality.

My friend in high school and my brother both served in Afghanistan and they both said the same thing, those people over there will never quit fighting, you would basically have to commit to being over there indefinitely to keep the country secure.

My friend was a member of the SART (Special Air Rescue Team) team of the Republic of Korea Army which coordinated rescue missions to get Afghan refugees out of Afghanistan to Korea. He said that it was possibly the most tragic things he had seen and he probably would not forget what it was like. Everything this guy said, my friend said the same thing. The desperation, despair, and chaos. My friend says he wishes that they could have taken more of those refugees to Korea.

Good point. It's easy to forget how good a lot of us have it. Most of us have become very spoiled.
Because people's problems are relative to their life. Just because people are experiencing brutality in some countries doesn't mean others have no right to complain about inconvienences/hardships in their lives. It's incomparable, and a shitty argument. To say other people have it worse doesn't lessen the pain or hardships people experience in more "developed" countries. Especially if the people bitchin about a late Amazon package haven't experienced many extreme hardships.
I'm not sayin they're not little bitches about it sometimes, but no shit it's mundane and obnoxious when you compare it to literal execution and slavery. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to bitch and complain.

I just missed this deployment (was in retirement process), Been to Afghan 8 times out of the 13 trips, and I can say this wasn't planned properly.

Met Tim last night at an event. It was so random that I had to ask HIM why he looked so familiar 😄 It finally occurred to me that it was a Joe Rogan podcast and I had to come back and rewatch it. He was so lovely and positive in person. I've had different experiences with other elite members of our military who had the guts to do what they did, but not the fortitude (?) to work through the issues and come out on the other side so positive and willing to do the right thing. No judgement for that other guy (it would suck), but only grateful for Tim's positivity and willingness to use the skills that God gave him and that he practiced and honed.

It haunts me everyday that I couldn't but it does bring comfort knowing people with the training, equipment and knowhow were able to get back to help as many as possible.
What you guys did out there is nothing short of heroic
I was in Afghanistan with the Canadians in 2012. My roll was to lead convoys from the weapons and ammo facility to the final training camp of the afghan national army. My American counter part (awesome dude straight professional) after delivery of 4.3 million dollars worth of small arms, ammo, radios and such, he looked at me and said “all of this will end up in the hands of the Taliban.” He said we’ll be back in 15 years getting shot at by our own guns. I didn’t believe him.
Wow... Just wow... He foreshadowed something big... And sadly something true.
Thank you for your service. I wished the Bundeswehr sent my Regiment to Afghanistan so we could have helped at least a bit.
I was in Iraq in 2003, 2004 and 2009. While it would t compare to Afghanistan, from the moment we crossed the border, it was obvious we had no hope of achieving anything.
Our leaders made every mistake possible, lost INSANE amounts of equipment and supplies on a regular basis thru not being able to do the basics of soldiering. Map reading, talking to locals, insuring a good supply chain all fell to the wayside.
most were too lazy or cowardly to go on convoys or patrols. I always hear about how professional Americas military is, but my in experience, it was mostly just s bunch of ignorant kids (like me) taking orders from clueless career men.

While the machinations of decision-making involve large groups, the final recommendations given to the chief executive are authorized by a handful of people within the National Security apparatus (general officers and political appointees). Of course, the President is the final decision-maker. As Lt. General (ret.) HR McMaster once wrote (I'm paraphrasing here), a soldier who loses a rifle faces stiffer consequences than a general who loses a war.
Everyone knew. They just didn't care. We would be stuck in Afghanistan for eternity otherwise
I’ll go with incompetency seeing the state of everything else in this country
It was intentional
This interview allowed a lot of powerful Joe Rogan style insight that myself and many needed to hear. I mean a picture has never been so painted about the situation and complexity as this first hand account. I felt like I was in a Jason Statham movie while he was narrating. I couldnt imagine having to survive such things. I had it had here in America also abusive household neglegent single mother home in extreme poverty no running water at times. And still I had every opportunity as the others.
God Bless Tim Kennedy and his team. Tim has given so much of himself to this Country. The U.S. Military is the greatest in the world. Thank you all for your service. Tim, I am always amazed by your courage and strength.
To hear that a human being(s), have to go through this type of terror is unimaginable.
It's soft compared to how life used to be for human beings. In a 13 billion year old Universe the human spirit has endured everything imaginable
It didn't have to happen.
Elections have consequences.
Everyone who voted for Biden has blood on their hands.
It doesn't seem like they really care though.
@@lucabaki that reason is Islamic jihad. They’re only following their religion.
With all do respect
How the fuck are they supposed to do that ? Try shooting before asking questions
Most unhappy? I wouldn’t say so with all the high quality drugs they have
This is how we've repeatedly abandoned allies since 1974; how anyone can call policymakers responsible for these shameful actions "elite" is beyond me. Only our warfighters give me hope.
the losers in costumes who enable criminal leaders by waging illegal wars of aggression?
Soldiers follow orders. The only hope you got is that the people controlling them don't sick them on you.
@@nilebaker3729 soldiers are obliged by law to disobey illegal orders.
@@yzdatabase4175 So where exactly is going by rule of law these days? Or has ever?
I understand your frustration but this is the reality of "countries" like Afghanistan. I put quotations because that country only exist as Afghanistan because the British decided to draw a couple of lines and call it that. It was never going to last as soon as the US decided it couldn't prop up a fake country any more. I wish we would have rescued more people out of the country before it fell and think this current administration deserves that criticism but, staying there long term was always going to end that way. If you want to really control these countries, you have to install authoritarian dictators or theocracies. It's just the reality.
God bless you, Tim! I think you're a Saint, Bro! Thanks, JRE!
Tim, thank you for all you did.
Holy shit man, headed to Spotify to watch this podcast!
1 The Goldey Family Fuk what you saying it here 😠 czcams.com/video/8zrfSK6pnpQ/video.html
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 😠
5:25 Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😠😠
Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖
los mortales abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer
Buildings don't fall down like that. Those buildings were built to withstand that kind of collision and fire. We had NO purpose in any country.Our military leveled all these countries,they were rich before our involvement.
It was amazing.
My friend in high school and my brother both served in Afghanistan and they both said the same thing, those people over there will never quit fighting, you would basically have to commit to being over there indefinitely to keep the country secure.
Chads story is amazing. Thank you Tim for going with him. God is watching over you!!!
Its storries like this that give perspective on the real privilege we have compared to others in the world. Its why it frustrates me that there's a growing divide due to TRIVIAL things.
It's not privilege, it's only temporary because others made the sacrifice. We could maintain it but as you may be aware, it's crumbling before us now.
Lol. America is literally the reason Afghanistan became barbaric.
Our government wants that divide, just like they want war
So true. People want to focus on petty things all the time and create so much grief. Yet this grief is not even 1% of that seen in Afghanistan.
Your phone can read your MIND

The way Biden admin handled this exit and left so many to die, is one of the most disgraceful things I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. Tim you’re a great guy. I’ve followed you on fb for awhile now. You’re an inspiration to me and many others. You and the people you worked with, are truly amazing human beings. We need more people like that. God Bless you and everyone who helped save those people from the Taliban. 🙏 🇺🇸 RIP to those poor souls that didn’t make it..
And no one will see any repercussion. Peolle are still glad he is president and the media falls right in like while babies were being killed. But hey... im supposed to trust anything the media says and I'm supposed to believe in government power....
@@P12ooF yeah there are definitely people who still support him, for whatever reason. But for those individuals, they will eventually see how his policies have been a disaster, and caused the economy to nearly collapse. If they will say it out loud, I doubt. The one thing I find comfort in, is knowing Biden will forever be remembered, as a failure, and the worst president in history!! IF he doesn’t start ww3 and get us all killed.
it would've been much worse if he pulled out back in spring like trump promised. but let's not forget the amount of american lives lost in the 20 years for nothing but to benefit a small percentage of americans financially
Are you kidding. Trump did the deal.and left Biden with the mess. If you want to throw shade maybe aim it at the Taliban or the Bush administration.
@@Boomer19771 biden did not go with the laid out plan. Basic knowledge. He was advised not to do what he did and pulled the trigger anyway. Read a book.
Tim Kennedy just reminded me to appreciate my life and where I'm from
This man deserves a medal of honor...
I was deployed to the UAE at the peak of the Afghan withdrawal supporting weather operations for our aircraft.
It was such an unreal experience to watch this stuff happening before your eyes. I will never forget that week. I will never forget the feeling around base after our service members were killed.
Joe has alot of weight on his shoulders whether he wanted it or not. ALOT OF PEOPLE are looking to him as a voice of reason with good reason. Rogan for president anyone? @PowerfulJRE run for election you will win over red or blue. You appeal to humanity. Get in, nominate people with moral integrity to help you clean house. So we can stand up against the privilege organizations that hsve and continue to show their true colors . The people will have your back.
@@cavelvlan25 joe would make a better president than the shriveled raisin we have now so i’m not really opposed to that idea lol😂.
@@kanasta yes sir, no sir, recite, repeat.
@@kanasta have you considered the archeological aspect. Not saying it is true but there is alot of suspicion around the Egypt Afghanistan area. Could literally be modern era holy wars.
@@heisenberg368 Joe voted for Biden
The withdraw opened my eyes to how messed up the war in Afghanistan was overall. Feelings of “our loss was worth it” to “what was the point of all that loss?” I’m in a better place with therapy but anyone else struggling with it all: Seek help.
I mean. Looks like you got a job. Soo stop crying and get that money!!!
Is there a place i can watch full JRE podcasts? I think watching is more engaging than listening
Spotify
Thank you for your service sir and you're humanity!!!!
The stuff Tim has seen is unreal 😳
5:30 I had to pause right here just to think about how much life this man and his team saved. Just the sheer amount of life-SAVED.
thank you for posting MR ROGAN... always watching ... have a great day... NOT A BOT>>>
This guy is literal chad. He's so composed even though you can tell it really affected him
watching this really makes me grateful to me living where I am. It’s such a terrible terrible situation this is just so sad I couldn’t even imagine living in that type of situation
I was out at a training event with 5th SFGA when I got news of the fall of Afghanistan. I called my wife and cried over it.
OEF 2010-11. RIP my brothers.
Tim and his team = TRUE HEROES!!
Never ever have I watched a video and felt so humbled and lucky to have what I have
Thank you for service and thank you for being brave enough to rescue these people. To most people including myself your actions are seen as brave and admirable but to those people you saved you are literally their hero.
No this guy is a traitor, the United Arab Emirates is closely allied with al-Qaeda. After 911 our military and people like this guy invaded Afghanistan to fight the Taliban and allied with Al-Qaeda the people who did 9/11. That is not service that is a traitor.
@@gavinl4388 We gonna talk about the mole people too?
@@gavinl4388 I agree with you mostly but not about this guy. Governments send people like him to clean up their messes or start a conflict. It isn't his fault that he went in to save lives. But it was partly your's. Happy holidays.
@@gavinl4388 this guy did more then you could ever accomplish in your little lifetime
@@gavinl4388 stfu he’s a hero to afghan refugees that live down the road from me, also a hero to another afghan like myself, he didn’t have to make these calls, he didn’t have to use his connections, he didn’t have to go
Much respect to Tim and everyone else who tried to help the people
Just watched Send Me last night. So heartbreaking and inspiring.
Thank you Tim Kennedy. Know you did good in bad times.
Everytime Tim Kennedy is on its the best conversations and topics him and Joe do a great show I feel like Tim's gotta be a recurring 4-6 times a year guest if not a guest host these are the top 10% shows
Agreed
Accept for the fact he’s lying. Each one of his military guys was paid $10,000 for a days worth of work. He says that it’s a nonprofit organization but didn’t he get paid like $40,000 for a week worth of work? And his buddies each
In 15-20 years I feel like this’ll come back to bite us again
ofc. thats why they did it like this. should be clear to everyone right now. US do not want peace. they can't profit on peace
@Morbius 🅥 nobody cares
There's much more that will come back to bite, this isn't even the tip.
It will ..... we just let thousands of these people in.
Oh no question
Man, when I read the comment's, my world just got a lot smaller because of other association's on this story. I was already tripping from the interview, but man,all the other comment's, and plus the interview. Real hero's here man.
Thank you for your service!
wow this guy was so easy for joe to interview.
very good at communicating, 100% can take everything he says as the best of his knowledge.
And hes obviously very intelligent and observant.
perfect interview.
Tim Kennedy ex ufc fighter hes part of the special forces
Thank you for producing this interview. The greater public has already forgotten this catastrophic surrender of ground and equipment.
Ya, those 2 bases should've been the *last* thing left
USA has given plenty of weapons and equipment to various insurgent groups and governments in the Middle East so this isn’t anything new lol
Woteva..If you asked 20 random people if they remember this I can bet you more than half would.Definaty
@@yyxy.oncesaid I hope you are right.
@@yyxy.oncesaid Consider the fact that Obama was elected twice after everything he pulled with healthcare, taxation, and misusing our military. People may "recall"...But they do not remember at the polls.
One of my friends that I work with assisted the us military and honestly they deserve so much. They should also be getting VA benefits. All of us vets deserve so much better but they risked so much. If it wasn't for people like him idk how well my brother would have been over there during his back to back tours.
Oh man, your heart breaks for the people and I can’t imagine the nightmares Tim + team are going through everyday of their lives…..you can ‘t erase those visions, it’s why so many from Vietnam came back with long term mental illnesses
i truly admire this man, after all what he been through he still has this calmness, while is talking about those hard times.
