“godammit i just got killed” hell of a reaction

Heroes for sure 🇺🇸 I had the pleasure of working with Drew Meyerowich and his account of the battle is very interesting as well..

My Sergeant Major in the 3rd ID during OIF 1 was Bob Gallagher. He was a platoon sergeant with Task Force Ranger on the ground in the fight in Somalia. Best NCO I have ever known.

Listening to two old vets BS’n will never get old

Rick Lamb is truly one of the most remarkable, hard, gifted and caring soldiers I ever served with. GIANTS do walk among us. It’s an honor to know him. RLTW/DOL

One of my SWAT cops was a marine at the embassy security detail during the battle. The Ambassador wouldn’t release the guard detachment to reinforce the rangers during the battle because”if they loose the fight out there, they’ll be coming here next”.

Michael Durant was from my home town and I remember him coming to our school (his mom also worked there) and gave his account of the battle. I was in 8th grade but still blown away. You're all heroes as far as I'm concerned.

I spent my career at 2nd bat Aco , we grew up with the stories from Mogadishu. Every man on that mission are hero’s . Well done . Keep fighting on the the ranger objective

It’s an honor to share this day with you gents RLTW!

Shrapnel to the head, bleeding, in the middle of a gunfight, driver injured, 70+ casualties. Still has a guard shift. A'ight. I'm a head out.

Thank God for all of our heroic vets. May you all have a blessed Veteran's Day and thank you for your service and the sacrifices of all veterans families.

Good god we need more men like this.. makes me ill to see what kids are calling heroes now.

"I'm an infantryman, you should have left the scar. You should have given my a Sgt Barnes scar." This guy is 100% dude. Men wear their scars proudly as proof of life.

Fascinating introduction! CSM Rick Lamb is obviously an intelligent, well articulated, witty man, with a fantastic sense of humor. I had heard about him in the book "Blackhawk Down." You two will make a great team, SGM Erickson.

I'm honored to even be in the presence of these two men, if only by video. Living Heros

This was awesome. One of my Drills in the Infantry was a band new Ranger in Mogadishu.

Thank you both my brothers for serving...Happy Veteran’s Day!

It's nice to know that people have been looking for you for over 2 days. Great story from Rick Lamb, and I loved the goodies he brought in for show and tell. Thank you Karl and Rick for your service, glad both of you are still here to tell your stories and teach new people your skills.

God bless him. Thank you both for your service. Glad he is still around to tell his story.

Loved it - thanks. DOL

Karl, Chad and the rest of the Tactical Rifleman family I wanted to wish you all a Blessed Veterans Day. Thank you for your service. commitment, sacrifice and true Patriotism to our nation. A Big Thank You To Your Families as well for they serve and sacrifice for our nation too. You are all truly Citizens of this Great Country. Always remember that we love you guys, just not that much. Carry On!!

Complete other breed of human. Much respect. Both of yall. Positive vibes.

You're both national treasures! Thank God for men such as you! Thank you! God bless! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great video. Our country is blessed to have had the service of both of you guys. And even more blessed to have the two of you still with us, and sharing your experiences and stories! Thank you!

Thank you for both of your service. Veteran's day means something. Much appreciated 🙏

You are both appreciated beyond words, our family prays for the safety of you soldiers out there all the time. Thank you for your sacrifices for this country and for the people of this country. Keep the combat stories coming brothers!

Happy Veterans Day and Thank you for your inspiring service, sacrifice and courage 🇺🇸

Great video and glad you are still with us to share your stories with us.

He's one brave son of a gun! Sounds like and looks like from his story and his gear that Blackhawk Down was actually pretty realistic!! Happy Veterans day Karl! To you and all who came before and after you, God speed and God bless America!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸

I was at 3/75 in the 90s ... My squad leader then, SSgt Hines talked about CSM Lamb... both of them were my idols. RLTW

One of your best video's yet! Looking forward to more with CSM Rick Lamb. Thank you both for your service to this Great Country

Thank you for your service and happy Veterans Day!

I served JSA from 2008 to 2010. And I met him at JSA Veterans meeting in Korea, 2015. He also participated JSA gun fight in 1984. It was honor to met the legendary hero of SOF and had conversation with him. Thank you for your service. In Front of Them All!

Thank you guys for everything you’ve done and still do. And to CSM Lamb, thank you for your service sir. You are greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Rick was a legend when I knew him in Korea (84-85) and he was an E6 then on his way to SF Q course. Any Ranger I ever spoke to had an amazing story about him when I asked "Did you know Rick Lamb?" He has been there and done that.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!! and thank you for sharing CSM Lambs story with us on this veterans day!!! remember the ones that didnt make it home on this day also!!!

What a video. We not only get an overview of a retro kit, but a personal account as well. Rick's initial thoughts on being hit by shrapnel are really interesting. Thank you both.

Very heartwarming video, I'm glad you guys reunited!

Amazing gentleman and story! Thank you for introducing him to us and honoring Veterans Day.

So few men and hero's like this still exist. Part of the reason I watch this channel... I get to see someone I look up to every time I click tactical rifleman....

Outstanding video Karl! Happy Veteran’s Day to you and CSM Lamb. Thank you for your service, gentlemen.

From the sincerest depth of my heart, thank you both (and all you vets reading this) for your service to this country. God bless you all and this country you volunteered to protect and defend. This beers for you!

Thank you both for your service! Awesome story!

Thank you for this so humble and personal war story! It rocked my heart!

Thank you both for your service and commitment to keeping our nation safe and providing freedom to all of us. Y’all are awesome in my book.

Great Video Karl and what an incredible story from the legendary CSM Rick Lamb. Thank God for you both and thank God for America. I was a young PFC in an aviation unit on Oct 3 & 4th 1993. I remember seeing the footage of our fighting men and aviation crewmembers as their bodies were being desecrated on national tv on CNN the day after the battle with my buddies, I was both angered and heart broken, and I still cannot forgive CNN for showing that footage before their family members were notified. Years later I had the honor of being trained by and under the command of LTC Danny McKnight at a training event learning about the lessons gained from Mogadishu. Now I am a high school history teacher here in Texas, one of the few veterans on campus actually. Every year on Oct 3rd & 4th I give a special lesson in my classroom...I am the only teacher who gives this lesson on my high school campus, maybe in my state, or sadly maybe in the country. I go to class in my DCUs, LBE, all my TA-50 kit from '93 & additional gear to complete the lesson. I tell my students the significance of those days, where I was then and then share with them the story of service & sacrifice on those days back in 1993. I teach about the peacekeeping mission, Task Force Ranger, SMUs who were there, the outcomes of that mission, and my later experience with LTC McKnight. They see and feel my emotional response as I share this true story & experience and then with their permission I show them the scene of Gordon and Shughart's MOH sacrifice as depicted in the movie. By the end of the lesson they understand why I interrupted the ancient civilization lesson and more importantly understand the price of service and sacrifice paid by our soldiers and by our nation. Most of my students now as of this year have never heard of these events or that this battle ever happened. Most of them have never even seen or heard of the movie or book. That's when I tell them why I taught them this special lesson and that it is my blessing to have these personal experiences to share with them. I tell them how we as a nation then could have said "No, you handle that on your own, you don't need our help." But we didn't, that's us, that's America. Like you both, I tell them how much of an honor it was for me to have served my adopted country and that now it is my pleasure to teach them, our future generations to never forget the sacrifices that are made everday on their behalf by men like the both of you and all who serve our great country. And that we are a great country! Fewer and fewer of my teaching peers seem to do that nowadays. But not this guy. Thank you again for a great video Karl, love these specials and love the live streams with Chad. I would love to attend the next TR Tactical pistol/carbine class you have when y'all make it back down to Texas in 2021. Best wishes, hope you had a great Veteran's Day & keep up the great work!

Loved it. Thanks Gents! Glad you’re both still with us.

Perhaps the best video I've ever seen. And I teared up for some reason. Thanks.

Watched both Part 1 and Mogadishu and learned from you both. Great presentation. Thank you for your years of service!

That was outstanding! People like this are to be celebrated. Thanks Karl for getting that story on video for all time from the man himself. Happy Veteran's Day to you Chad, and CSM Lamb.

Amazing tale from a true American hero! Thanks for sharing. I loved all the details about his kit. Although I would have loved to hear about the firearms on the other end of the table. Thanks for your service fellas.

Thank you for sharing CSM. In awe...

I wasn't a ranger and I wasn't SF but started as a Tanker and then later a Light Infantryman. Fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. You both were inspiration to me coming through the ranks. Thank you for your service and bravery. There aren't many men made from y'all's cut anymore. THANK YOU!

I'm struggling with words right now after watching this. Thank you both, on this Veteran's Day, for serving our great country!

Outstanding, thanks Karl and Mr. Lamb!

Excellent content. Thank you for your dedication to duty

Man, this is so cool. After I got in the military, I truly understood their sacrifice. True heroes for sure.

how fucking gnarly of a story is this? holy shit. seeing blackhawk down is one thing. hearing first hand accounts is a whole different ballgame. thank y’all for your service.

Damn hardcore mother right there brothers, heroes all around, this man is a beast, he's smart as a whip as well, having worked with and for him was sure an experience!!

Getting the job done. Thank you guys for putting in the work! Amazing story. Thanks again for your dedication and service for the United States of American.

Thank you both for your service. Good bless the vets of the USA. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

Wooooowww damn that incision. Glad you made it my man.

Thank you for risking your lives to protect our freedom, or to provide it to others. Your selfless acts of valor were done without asking anything in return. We will ALWAYS honor your sacrifice! Sincerely, SGT E. Andonian

My first year in the Army was in 1993. I was just out of basic when Somalia happened. My first unit was at Ft.Benning. I worked at the ASP. Almost every day I would hang out with Phipps and Floyd. I got to talk to many of the Rangers who were in Somalia. My Ordnance unit just got back from Somalia also. I wish I could have been there that fateful week. When I saw it on TV we all started to push wall lockers in anger. We had to be ordered to stop. I suffer with the guilt of not seeing combat.

I could listen to these type of stories all day!🇺🇸

Wow...all I can really say. Much respect. I could listen to these guys talk all night. What a badass patriot. Love my country!

Thank you, for this video and thank you all for your service
