The realest guest in my opinion for a while, just based of how he tell stories and the Delta guy
-
You can tell this man have some PTSD but he is so calm
-
a lot of theses ex military guys can come over as boastful and hey look at me....but this guy comes across as a normal dude who was telling it as it was.....he even apologised for swearing..lol....his country and parents should be proud of him
-
I love that he mentioned the dog was safe

Flechettes, wicked ordinance, 1000's of tiny steel darts. My dad told me about those from his time in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne, C Troop 2/17th in 69'-70'. He said the Cobra pilots surprised a group of NVA in a pond and LITERALLY were nailing them to the rocks. He says he can still hear them yelling, "Flechettes! Flechettes!" as they flew in to re-arm.

I was a Carl Gustav gunner on deployment in 3rd bat in 2014. That is where I got to shoot 2 flicet rounds for practice because the rules of engagement didn't allow them in combat at the time later in the war but had them left over from previous deployments. It's an 84mm rocket with about 1000 barbed darts, that are covered in an Anticoagulant to cause bleeding out if you're hit with one. It's for close anti personal engagement. Not accurate but covers a wide area up to about 100 meters. Pretty crazy
-
Fascinating. Shawn Ryan's interviews should be and most probably are archived. Very important testimonies. Brilliant.
-
Nick you are a freaking beast. I appreciate your service and all that you did for this country. God Bless you are your family. RLTW.

Fleschettes are basically nails with fletching (fins) like on an arrow. Thousands in an artillery/explosive shell.
-
Think of the time, effort, and money spent to train this man to go to war. Then consider how much money, effort, and time was put in to helping him live back in the world after having these horrific experiences. The Veterans Administration has NEVER stepped up to support us. Look up the story of The Bonus Army.

SHAWN RYAN IS BY FAAAAR SO FAR THE BEST INTERVIEWER.
-
This is pretty much the best most interesting podcast online today. Unbelievably amazing stories.

Called in the C130🇺🇸

War effs up people in the head. Did my 4 in the Corps, but lucked out being 75-79. But i was an AF brat back in 67-68 in the Phillipines at 9/10 years old. This is where they brought most of those kids from 'Nam at evac. Made a very sober impression on little me. I would REALLY like for this to not happen again. Thanks for your service, warriors. :cat-orange-whistling:

Can’t imagine picking up body parts like an Easter Egg Hunt..
-
Man I can’t even imagine getting shot through your NVG’s. I absolutely hated wearing them during night ranges or night patrols. They suck when you’re trying to patrol through a tree line at night & you’re stumbling between opening & closing your free eye trying to establish some modicum of depth perception. I know most guys hate them, but I’m sure that guy loved his NVG’s that night lol 😂 Much respect to these Rangers! #0311Grunt #SemperFi

That's why I teach my son to give service members respect regardless of their MOS. Guys like him went through enough horror that will last anybody 11 lifetime of nightmares.
-
These are some very powerful interviews I don’t think you ever miss
-
Thank you for your service and sacrafice, God bless you and your family Mr. Irving. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻
