      What was the saying... “officers never duck” or something like that. The ones who focus on troop morale have got grapefruits in their pockets and a cool head in their shoulders

    "Rangers Lead the Way" .........good to hear and see you again. Times may changed but true leaders do not. All infantrymen lead from the front, its the only leadership we know. See you on the next objective Colonel.

    32:57 true that, true that.
    Politicians think, work, and act like college students who - simply read and understand the basic news media of what's going on... not thinking outside the box, nor analyzing the situation so...
    An approach of "do you really think that happened?" questionnaire... I have no doubt.
    It's always people who were there know the story. Others think it's just a conspiracy and LOL "yeah right~~~"

    Man the audio is scuffed on this. The mic level was way too high and it kept catching the second syllable after he would pause. I would love him to go on Rogan or Sean Ryan’s show

      Clinton barely paid attention to the situation in Somalia, all the decisions were pretty much made by the secretary of defense while Clinton was busy getting blowies.

    Host reacts all surpsied when told McKnight encountered Russian made weapons 1:01:10, virtue signlaing against Russia.
    But then totally ignores the fact Italy was suppling the Somali's with RPG's.

      He seems just more unaware. He actually seems pretty excited and revenant of McKnight.
