Suggestion: Put time stamps in the description like Combat Story does. Just a suggestion, not a complaint. Love your channel.

Spent a year in tangi river valley at baraki barak and EBK 11 to 12......its was every day.... they just never stopped. We did one raid, found ranger handbooks and sand tables.

As I look back on my time in the Army, I could only wish I was as squared away, capable and dedicated as this ranger. Best interview you guys have done and thanks to Nick for his many years of service to our country and his fellow soldiers.

Probably the best interview ya'll have done. Incredible story was told. Thanks

Wow, what a huge change in the Rangers from Mogadishu to now.

One thing I always keep coming back to this channel, is the real ness factor. Question and answer is just more real, like real life talking. I never am disappointed, and I buy and read your guests books non stop. It's given me a whole new level of respect for US intel and US military and even foreign military.

He was part of the Warfighters documentary a few years ago. It was about the Red Wings mission

Loved the conversation and great to hear your story Nicholas, I served in C,CO. 1st Platoon Mad Slashers 2/75 from 92-96. Sua Sponte brother!

Great interview Jack and Dave can you please try to get Mohamed Gulab (the Afghan that saved Marcus Luttrell) on the show to get his perspective on Marcus's claims🙏. I think he would be an excellent interview to also talk about his personal experience/ tragedies he's endured since then. His immigration attorney is right in NYC perhaps Jack/Dave you could get in touch with Mohamed that way.

His Eyes hold so much pain

Great hosts. Didn’t seem like he’s given many interviews but hosts did great job prompting and pulling more info

man one of your BEST INTERVEWS

Great show. Always great to hear from Batt boys

Great interview, thank you.

Man my friend Andy Hervell was on 17 & he was one of the better friends I had; he actually came to be with me when he could when was having a very hard time after my deployment to Afghanistan + his brother died afterwards due to self induced death. Was very hard to listen too. About flight 17.

This guy doesn't sound like he's too impressed with Marcus. Maybe I'm reading more into it than whats there, but that's my sense of how he feels

Nicholas was one of the best Ranger Leaders and overall Human beings I’ve had the the pleasure and honor to know and work with at 2/75

Shade thrown at Marcus 😮

My grandfather, Gene Stowers, and his F-4D copilot Pete Hesford, are still MIA in Laos; they were shot down while rolling in on trucks to bomb them along the trails in Laos.

At 2:04:07 I'm glad to see that you were able to bring home your Arctic Issue Bunny Boots. A fine piece of footgear. JK folks. As this may be the heaviest episode ever, I thought I might lighten things up just a wee bit God bless all of you and be safe

Great interview

Gentlemen thanx for having a great vibe I grew up in 63 and watched Nam on CBS with Cronkite. But i remember " The Boys from Charlie Co. J Wayne and the Green Bs and the song. I read a book called Code Name Copperhead it was when awhile ago but jump with one the first siutcase nuke. The book starts with his namesake driving from US into Canada the kids stopped and detained Long story short thank u for hours of great guests and subject matter. If you guys have had a podcast on this American Bad ass let me know wher to find it. I always thought from childhood that id be a Marine. I lost a half cousin to Nam and my only memory of the guy was he was comfortable in his skin. Ended up 1/21/85 joined NYPD. Ive never written to anyone about anything. I also that some guys who listen to these shows are "buffs" good dudes who love hear the stories, me its hearing about groups Teams of men all therre by choice and Selection. Hearing of people who train and push to always train to be better. Last 15 20 years a fundamental change how a child can or shoud be raised. PTSD and all of the things that come to those who for some unknown desire to be the guy on scene 1st through the door Great stuff im born breed NYC Metropolitan Hosp. If you men do some kind of public thing please put it out there. Just saw episode of yoz describing your MTA rando assault. Stay safe Gents and great show 👍

Great Stuff again.

Great job Jack and Dave. Yaw are killing it. Could you get John McPhee on the show? Dave what’s up with your arm

When Nicolas started explaining the operation where he was injured, when the bullet hit his helmet, he is incredibly lucky the bullet ricocheted up and out front of the helmet instead of going through

What was his running and ruck weekly schedule like during battalion?

I saw this guy on "Warfighters" operation to save Lutrell. It is an excellent show. He's such a chill dude.

You guys should do timestamps! And upload in clips! Maybe even do teaser shorts! Good job though and great interviews!

Spent some time with Nick back in 2000-05. Good to see him again (even if he's wrong and A co. was best Company).

I love the rangers one of the most unique and capable fighting forces on the planet

RLTW.

Badass Army Rangers lead the way, America's elite shook troops, Shadow Warriors defending freedom against all enemies everywhere including terrorists by any means necessary at all times and all costs

Good one Team house not all time personal fave subject wise but as always you guys keep getting better... A SOLID TRIPLE TEAMHOUSE

Are you guys giving to their Patreon? Props to the Team House-Team for telling the INSIDE SOF story and giving gauge/scuttlebutt to the next generation AND they just got new digs..... $$$$$$$

Extortion 17 at 01:26:00

65..day Ranger here .made my way in Eighty Deuce .Scouts .NCO ..Mortar Section Leader .

This dude is a total badass!!!👊🇺🇲

I am in the camp that the Call Out tactic is so much more dangerous for everyone that it has little or no place in wartime operations. It’s the product of empaths whose values conflict with the safety and mission objectives of wartime operations.

Excellent Interview!! I always wondered if episodes of the show SEAL Team were based on real missions some were obvious, some were questionable untill this episode. Still trying to see what actor is playing what SEAL but thats okay.

37:47 That for sure was not something anyone expected that day. I wonder if when training combined arms if that danger is taught now.

Really wish I could go back and join in my 20’s. Now it doesn’t seem like a good idea

54:00 Marcus Luttrell Rescue

interviewer....suggestion....learn to give a soilder a short break when he obviously is feeling the emotions of reliving the war....this guy obviously was chockin up and tearin up....this poor guy doesnt deserve the insensitivty of your push for answers when he is reliving dead bodies of the guys on his team

What are the odds he does two crashes years apart and had a reference point to work from, unbelievable.

59:37 Thank you for saying that a big lesson learned for Marcus' anger, sometimes Pride, Ego, we all fight. MOST DARK OF TIMES CHRIST WOULD REMEMBER & THE angel of the LORD?" "Yes I think I have seen The worst EVIL face to face." ~ Marcus Lutrell. preist you sure? Marcus= "yes." No. Homie. TRUTH IS YOU HAVE NOT. HOWEVER, he couldn't remember,ANYTHING. I was molested as a child spared not the ROD. AM A WARRIOR I WOULD HAVE STAYED & DIED: TRUTH MAN I COULD NOT HAVE TOLERATED THAT. I THINK IT HAUNTS HIM TO THIS DAY! & I GET IT TOO MARCUS I LOVE YOU, BUT WE ARE IN THIS DREG OR HEAVEN TOGETHER WE GO TO SLEEP ON WATCH, STORIES GET TOLD, MAYBE FOR MILLIONS & THOSE THAT DID HELP GET LEFT IN COLD. IT IS CALLED SURVIVERS GUILT. LOVE YOU MARCUS, BUT I THINK NICHOLAS WOULD AGREE IN DIFFERENT ATMOSPHEREICS. HOWEVER YOU, ARE OUR BROTHER WE RIDE TOGETHER, WE LOSE , WE WIN, WE FIGHT, WE TRY BETTER, HARDER FOR THE LORD 💯. Psalms 107:14 KJV: He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

You mentioned the dear heart warriors in Laos & Cambodia: sorry to say but you know some of the spooky side and they just have to be remembered in SPIRIT + TRUTH. THEY ARE GONNA BE RAISED NO DOUBT. GOOD. ON YOU FOR SAYING THAT BROTHER. Jack Murphy truly a loving nurturing warrior side is developed in YOU in the past 10 years along with me. I was a mess. +++ . Still am, thanks too all the prayers and thoughts from everyone that did. 🙏. Love always in Christ and am almost in tears now. However that is how TRUTH IS TRUTH IS THE TRUTH. FAIITHFUL.

Sounds like he has doubts about fat Marcus Lutrell's story. Marcus should have been polygraphed and I know that sounds insulting to people but if everything is what you say you wouldn't have a problem with simply telling your story. Remember the Box isn't going to tell us what happened but we would know whether Marcus was telling the truth to the best of his abilities. I would love to see the results of him being polygraphed. All of the other Intel reports suggest it was a maximum of 10 fighters they weren't even Taliban they were just Hired Guns working for the warlord. so that's four on 10 they got dominated. I don't believe they lost the fight as much as I believe all four of them scattered in separate directions under the heat of combat. I have nothing against seals whatsoever most of them are awesome operators and Stand Up Guys but the case of Marcus Luttrell and Red Wings really pisses me off for all of the brave men and women that died during GWOT.

Guys - what’s with the Balvenie? I thought you were peat-heads.

Not to be vulgar, but who the actual fuck has the audacity to interrogate a soldier, who just picked up the remains of 38 comrades, over how they got a body count from literal bones and fragments of another human. Talk about the state of military leadership..

Can you guys find out more about the guy fought for both the US and the Red Army? That guy has some experience that has to be interesting, if he is still alive.

i was ungraded for the entire 19 days (nights!) of rudder

Extortion 17 still hurts so much...

That dudes hat is hella curved

Which SOF unit was credited with silent entry CQB? I heard one the ST6 guys suggest it was them but is there any more info on that?

Have Soldiers thought were there. They said estimate was 12 Haji not 100s like the movie. SEALs are not as vetted and trained as Army USASOC assets.

Hashtags are wrong they're from last weeks episode

Dave is chatty today! Must be the pain meds haha.

I get to feeling this guy don’t believe Marcus’s story about how he came down the mountain. Or why he doesn’t know where the rest of them is!!

Surreptitious Entry good Book by Willis George

Did anyone else notice at the very end when asked about Pat Tillman & his brother he said yes they were both there at the same time etc. etc. etc. he continued to answer saying the following "do I know them, not really, I know them about as well as I know Matt Best" If Pat died in combat then why refere to him & his brother in the present not the past. He KNOWS them instead of knew them....🤔

18:32 I was the NBC NCO at regimental headquarters 99-03, had fun taking all the officers to the gas chamber once a month 🤣🤣

Thumbs Up

Holy shit lol

👍

So you guys are drinking tea out of that liquor bottle? What is that all about? Sponsorship?

Start time stamping like others do.

He is being nice. Of course they messed up. They are glorified SWAT teams. Great on the X but Army elements are way better at over all terrain and skill sets to get on the X. An Army PFC Paratrooper knows has more experience than new SEALS

Algorithm.

MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ONLY 5:55 hahaha lol...same thing happened w/my twins. I tried 2 warn them basic is jus mind games. Do what u're told, keep low profile, pass ur tests, etc. They got it so bad not jus regular pitting em against each other but threats of ucmj(like "stop, going over 2 his platoon...or u both get art 15". Or during h2h they were told 2 fight each other, when they didnt agree, they got told "u fight or we'll kick u out da army"). So, bad that during h2h, a DI who i believe should not be one any longer due 2 his undiagnosed ptsd, said fight 2 da end. One of my boys passed out, his brother thought he strangled his brother. And dem fucker di's standing around laughing while da "omg, i killed my brother" son is freaking out...only then did they fucking realize something was badly wrong! Plus a lot of other mind games(maybe what some might call psyops), it got real bad towards middle & end...which DID NOT go over well w/momma bear...but das some other stories of me going off on their commander & then later at graduation i ripped into a DI.

It's almost impossible to understand most of these operations that failed so miserably because they are all fragmented accounts from the low ranking pfcs and specialists who didn't really grasp what was happening at the time or even 5 years later...As I understand it 4 seals were put on a Afghanistan mountain to observe a guy named Shah and his merry men...They obviously were observing the seals and their rescue helicopter which they shot down killing 16 men... Nobody in 1/75, 2/75 or 3/75 fired a round and allegedly neither did marcus Litrell...So, I just don't see the point of this...

He's holding back? You can tell he has some thoughts about what happened with the SDV team ? The Host was asking ,"What he thought happened on the mountain ? " He seems to be Treating the subject with ,Kids gloves ?

Deployment with the French army is basically 13 deployments doing check point security in a green zone .. that’s what 99% of EU SF does and in this guys case also permitter security for US army rangers .. let’s not get it twisted
