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.

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.

Don't need to flutter Marcus to know he is full of crap, just like Eddy Gallagher and Bret Slabinski ☝️ The seal dive team doing their first mountain combat reconnaissance on red wings was tracked since they landed, then shot up at the bottom of a draw, Marcus ran away to live while everybody else fought and died. Then the rest of their seal platoon died when their helicopter was shot down attempting rescue. There were a grand total of 8 enemy fighters that killed the whole seal platoon, they were all tracked down and entirely eliminated by RRD in the following weeks 🗽 now you know...

Think about how many kids saw that movie, read that book, then decided to join the Navy. Most of those guys ended up where the Navy actually needed them, on ships maintaining the strategically-significant mission set executed by the surface and submariner fleets on a daily basis.

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!
