We had some fun when I was at his house. We went to best buy to get his PC. I went in first to explain to the manager we were bringing in a new PC that arrived damaged, and we needed to leave with a working one. I explained who he was - said “if veterans were hollywood actors, this guy is brad pitt. Look him up” The manager did and treated Dick like total royalty. We left with a working upgraded PC, no problem. They were great. Every vet should get that service. Dick would wholly support that.
I don’t want to minimise the work you’ve put into the prairie fire game, but these interviews will live on far longer as important historical information. Thank you for doing this.
That’s our plan in full - historical preservation in as much detail as we can gather! the games, documentaries, graphic novels and tv show will hopefully have a broad appeal and reach while the item and memory preservation are timeless.
@b-52eggbeast88 you guys gotta pitch a TV series like band of brothers! I wish I had the connections to make it happen because I guarantee it would be a tremendous hit !
'you just have to shoot em more times'. Carrying 22lr is a hot topic within the 2A crowd. It's refreshing to hear SOG ran 'practice' missions using 22s.
Thing is, for personal defense as a civilian you need something that can incapacitate a threat immediately, not after an entire magazine, now like he said if you make good shot placement it can still put dicks in the dirt, but not optimal when you have a mf on top of you trying to stab/or rape you if youre cute enough and need to stop them asap
I have literally been shot in the head with a .22 LR from close range. Obviously, it did not kill me. The bullet ended up approximately 4" from entrance wound. It did not penetrate my skull. I still have the fucking thing from when the VA pulled it out about 3 years later. Not kidding at all.
🧨 Dynamite in the building! 🧨 Once again another amazing interview with a true American bad ass! Mr. Thompson’s insight and debriefs bring a unique perspective on the retelling of these heroic SOG stories. Keep ‘em coming!
Fantastic interview and an amazing-looking DLC, I will have to try it. For those that don't know, the ubiquitous name 'CAR-15' for the XM177E1/E2 originated with a 1964 'product relaunch' by Colt of the formerly Armalite AR-15, from 'Armalite Research (model) 15' or 'ARmalite (model) 15' (sources differ on that) to 'Colt Automatic Rifle (model) 15'. Colt gave up on the branding but the name stuck to the SMG (US mil designation for the XM177)/'Commando' (Colt's name for it) model.
If you’re the “keeper” you can play the DLC with SOG vets - email savage and we’ll set it up. And if you want to shoot a CAR-15 with Dick we can arrange that too.
@@JonathanFergusonRoyalArmouries Great! Please email connect@savage-game.com and we can discuss this more. Very happy to see your interest in what we're doing. So many SOG weapons to explore, all quite unique.
His r&r story is probably the most intense combat story out of hundreds if not thousands of veteran interviews I’ve listened to. I would love to see that on a screen. “Sorry about that!”
I bought the DLC the very day it came out. It's still being updated. It's by far the best DLC in ArmA 3 existence. Thanks to all the Veterans whose feedback made it possible and to their service and the stories they brought back home.

Why are the little people so tall in game? That's something I always thought the game got wrong, why were the indig team members so tall? I know the nungs were tall but most indig were short

You would look at this lad and think he was a retired accountant. What a man , listened to him on Jocko and the Sogcast.

Steel balls, every one of the SOG warriors did enough to win a Metal of Honor! Thanks sir!
Love the historical accuracy you guys have achieved by speaking with these legends.

Could listen to this all day!!!
Loved the rather in depth talk about weapons, weapons choice and use, etc... Great and interesting interview. I'm eager for the next ones. 10/10
A have listened to his interview on Jocko's podcast for 4 hours while driving last night. It was epic! I'm going to order the book!
You wont regret it!

working on it!
Excellent and very informative video! Bravo!
Lol Special Forces from that time were the only ones to ever intentionally start a firefight and refer to it as “practice”. Love it!
Dick is the real deal. His books are amazing.
@@b-52eggbeast88 Yes I’ve watched most of the interviews with of the ones that are still with us.
So cool to see what was used in all the wars non declared... Thank you for your service to MIC

Imagine finding out in the next life that you got smoked by a .22 just so some ninja could verify whether it worked not😂
Thank you for your service.... Vietnam was where special ops really showed and developed their craft. ❤
Great interview
He did a lot of inter views in DETAIL on Jocko podcast.
Unbelievable man !
Such a badass!
Love this stuff these guys were warriors the elite 😎
10 of 10 fellas
Awesome
I have some original SOG item's and kit if your ever interested !
Them there CAR15s are worth a MINT if you can find/afford one!
Civvie clone is about 8-1200 dollars. For a high end one. It don't have the giggle switch but it's the same thing
When's the 2nd book supposed to come out
Real soon (jan 24)
Did you say you carried 50 magazines? Thanks for sharing
Yeah, and 3rd burst a decade and a half before it was devised
@@nategross7568 when you use full auto enough it's easy to control the amount of rounds you fire per trigger pull. What I got from this interview was he would use 3rd bursts and sometimes do a full mag dump.

Go Dawgs!
What state is this warrior from? Just curious...
He’s Georgia through and through
it seems that a lot of the SOG Forces were avid hunters before the became America's Finest.
I wonder if Dick was a fur Trapper when he was a teenager.
He was a woodsman/ hunter from the age of about 4, well discussed in his book.
Did he really say 50, (fifty) mags?
Hello
LOTS OF HUMPING
EXPERIENCE TOUGH
Stone cold.
pro-tip - play this at 1.5 speed or faster - much more listenable
or breathe 1.5 times slower and live longer too :)
glad you enjoyed it
