SEAL Team 6 Operator Remembers His First Kill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 гру 2022
- Eddie said he cannot remember every kill, but he remembers his first. In his book Unafraid, in a chapter titled "Kill Addict", he said that later the killing became so routine that they progressed towards increasingly difficult means to keep it interesting. When shooting bad guys with a rifle got old, he relished the opportunity to justifiably use a pistol or even a knife when the situation permitted.

He who fights with monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster-Nietzsche
I'm surprised no one see's this as just a sanctioned serial killer. Pretty much what it sounds like to me. I understand war (trust me..I do), and the necessity to kill your enemies, but this guy is off his rocker.
Did you see the reddit post regarding this clip?
he seems like such a classic male archetype white knight, muh women and children muh
My brother was one of the original founding members of Seal Team 6. He was in Red Cell. He was in Mogadishu in Blackhawk down and im betting he trained Eddie. After he got out he went through withdrawals from not being able to kill.
I love that Shawn actually says “do you wanna talk about your first kill” instead of saying and jumping right into “let’s talk about your first kill” he gives him the option which I think vets in his position appreciate
Ummmm but he didn't ask first. The guy says he remembers his first kill and Shawn said "let's talk about that" while the guy says he doesn't remember his first hit. Then he asked if he wanted to talk about it
Really? The dude is making a video specifically about it. Don't buy into the theatrics.
@@aaronmazur8056 Yeah. The Shawn guy is full of shit.
@@aaronmazur8056 he meant hit as in missions not kill
This guy needs therapy.
An honest man. Some men regret, while others reload.

@@wortwortwort1105 hahahaha
I’m glad he’s on our side. I don’t think we realize how tough these guys are both physically and mentally
Absolutely, I mean at the end of the day he’s a serial killer. where he says that he wanted it more that’s what all serial killers say. How these boys stay sane and on the right side of the law is impressive
Unfortunately, our enemies are less restrictive
Forged in blood an pain. Alongside their brothers. Wet an sandy does things too yah
Cap
Just imagine the guys that are fighting....born into it. Raised in a literal war zone
I’m from the Philippines and this is the first time I’ve heard the about the atrocities committed against Filipino drivers who risked their lives to support their families back home due to poverty. Glad that you eliminated these terrorists and saved the lives of many more. You are our hero. Thank you.
I have no clue about those operation, what is it? Is it against Philippino dealers?
It's ok I got it. Irak. I saw an Isis video where they stop some other drivers and the put them on their knees and shot them if they didn't know a Surat by heart.
I’ve heard stories of it before. They were just tasked to drive supplies and they would stop them in the middle of the road, torture them a bit and then behead them.
Exactly
@@matydrum During invasion of Iraq, there are private foreign companies based in Iraq that hire all sort of jobs like drivers, cooks, etc etc.
I have a friend who is sort of all around guy to cook and clean and what ever he is asked of who is hired by private foreign security comapany that protects oil field.
Often times thier bases are attacked by insurgents and those Filipinos truck drivers are just the unlucky ones that might be delivering outside without securities with them.
It was refreshing to hear a Man like this tell his story with no regret.
A lot of vets Ive known are angry at having to be there doing what they had to do for the Military Industrial Complex... and honestly, I agree with them a lot. But on the flip side, it's also true that these fanatical groups out there are doing horrific things to women, children, and civilians who just want to live their lives. The fewer their numbers, the better. This guy has my respect.
Former Sgt Major here, I can definitely relate and understand what he says. The first time somebody opened fire upon me, the first emotion in me was panic, but then in just a matter of seconds that panic turns into anger and you start becoming colder and colder, and you just want more. It would sometimes come back me when we were back in base and starting "decompressing", but in that moment you just want to get one more and then one more and so on.
I can relate. And Scott just keeps pushing
So I'll be honest, our collective 'first reaction' or emotion was giggling...
When I first deployed in 2006 to Afghanistan, the first time my section came under fire - we all sprinted for whatever cover we could find. I panicked a bit, but felt I had my wits about me...and started to glance around to make sure nobody was hit.
I'm not sure why, but one of the lads was giggling a bit, which instantly got me giggling a bit too. Before ya know it, we were all giggling for a few moments while trying to figure out where the shooters were...
Figured it out, returned fire, and THEN that hyper-focused, angry feeling took over where you just wanted to drop each & every one of them.
But at first? Giggles 🤷♂️
@Mr Popeye It's so true. One thing I really appreciate about the SRS, is vets can come together in the comment section & other vets read it, and 'get it'
I remember that similar feeling, like my brain was firing on all cylinders & processing at 100% - and you're right, everything seems like it slows right down.
I don't know about you, but I remember the oddest details & forget the oddest of things also.
Like I can remember seeing the whites of people's eyes if I glanced their direction, but have absolutely zero memory of clearing certain huts 🤷♂️
Ty for being honest about this. So many judge people without empathy. You have been there. And that is all I need to say...ty
@@chrisburke624 THIS. That slow motion feeling was INSANE. But it did become addictive to a point. For me, the crash afterwards was the hardest thing to deal with.
I love how Shawn really ask question and sits back to just let these guy talk there hearts out great video
Eddie is seriously a terrifying individual, more so than the other dev members on here
Bro, he's a stone cold killer, you can see it in his eyes. Love that mofo's like this are on our team!
He's up their with dj Shipley
@Scott P I was also on seal team 6, but I dont wanna talk about it. Unless you ask me, but I still wont talk about it.
UNLESS 😳
He’s a serial killer
@@bon-a-petite9224 dj shipleys instability is pretty scary
People may hate his words but men like him are needed to keep our country safe. Truly incredible the sacrifices made by all who serve.
Yeah until you realise that behinds the scenes most of these wars are caused by America for some type of gain for itself. Sacrificing everyone to save you from what? Coz you're the most developed, comfortable and richest nation. So really our lives are being sacrificed for your comfort so you can go down to the gas station of have low fuel prices. It's sickening.
I think if your country just kept their business to themselves, you would not have to protect yourselves so much.
Was he positioned on your border protecting your country or was he an invader to a foreign country doing the bidding of western politicians?
The 2nd amendment keeps this country safe. Don't need military when there are about 180 million people armed and willing to protect this country from enemies foreign and domestic lol
Come on man. Your country was never attacked. It just attacks other countries.
“To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
-Aldous Huxley
Shawn Ryan brings us the the gnarliest interviews ever. Thank you.
Thank you Shawn for these interviews! Don’t know if anyone has said it but you are really good at it!
"if there was a way to ki** harder, I was looking for a way to do it" absolutely unhinged sentiment to express. God Bless this man, our nation has demanded so much of him
My first time hearing or seeing an interview on this guy. I truly hope he finds a job he likes, meaningful and that will support him and his family for life. Because, this man right here, you don’t want him turning into a criminal. Scary guy. Thank God he’s on our side.
And your name is Escobar...
@@fatmunch6318 Funny thing is a lot the guys in the Cartels got their start being trained to fight by the US military. You never know.
Seems like the right guy for the job. Thank you sir!
He's a natural warrior, aggressive and pro-social.
Thank you for what? Shooting people who defend their country?
These special ops guys are just wired differently. It's a combination of patriotism, vigilante justice, and love of combat. I'm glad the military and UFC exist as a means for these guys to channel their proclivities. Because they are scary dudes. Glad they have an outlet.
I find nothing disturbing about his description of how killing the evil made him feel! If anything, I greatly appreciate him. Anyone ever seen the movie “Blade”, Wesley Snipes? He was a serial killer of the evil Vampires, not average people. That’s how I see this guy. He only expresses desire to eradicate evil humans, and we need more like him. Thank you,Sir, for your service!!
I feel like this guy wouldve killed someone earlier in life than us not liking killing would have.
Even Shawn seemed to pause when Eddie talked about how he was addicted to killing the enemy.
😂😂
Yeah, I caught that too. Not sure if he was thinking it wouldn't play well to a general audience or if it genuinely made him ill at ease.
Shawn admitted he enjoyed it too.
Yeah you can tell he’s thinking this is fucking nuts
@@1HeavyHitrShawn himself has said killing the enemy felt like a huge accomplishment
The government's worst fear is to have someone as well trained as this to wake up and realize you're hired assassin for a bankers war representing another country to turn their attention to the ones that train them
That's why a few years back they said returning veterans were the biggest threat to domestic security and the greatest threat for domestic terrorism. They powers that be are scared shitless of these dudes actually fighting for their country against it's real enemies.
oy vey
Never ends well on an individual lvl
Wanna explain the govt “fear” cuz all I hear is desktop jockey conspiracy. How many JCET’s you’ve done??
for the gwot, not bankers but zionist jews and israel
Much love brother. Thank you for sharing, thank you for your service.
Your brother is a serial killer ?
I love that he doesn’t try to act like he was forced to kill, but he didn’t want to. He’s a warrior and it’s a good thing he loved his job. We can’t let evil prevail. God bless these warriors who defend the weak and helpless.
So we fight evil with evil
lol american soldiers arent any better
As a marine vet with 3rd recon and 2nd marsoc/msog I'll tell you this. You gotta become a monster in order to defeat a monster but you must have the psychological discipline to not cross that line or you will never come back
you ain’t no vet lmfao 💀🤦♂️ more like a stolen valor vet with that cringy ass profile picture you internet warrior.
True.
@@recon1986 oh but the true test is when you killed was it in vain? If blood was shed in vain for evil. Or for pleasure, not nessesity. A bigger monster than marsoc-mosog will be stalking you at night and during the day when you're alone, or with family and friends. One that can't be killed with a blade, a bullet, or bomb. Your mirror self, your dark half, that will devour you, and everything you love. The thing nightmares are made of. It takes on a life of its own.
Wow!
Any debate about good versus evil is pretty well settled in that fellow.
An old saying,
"You can't kill an idea, but you can put a bullet through the head of the guy who is thinking that idea."
@@jd-rm4ez What are you saying? That there is no good and evil? Just various shades of grey?
Or is morality a human relativistic imposition on an indifferent cosmos?
@@jd-rm4ez The world can be black & white, good vs evil, when looking at the obvious & extreme ends along the spectrum of morality.
I think we can all agree rape, genocide, intentional abuse, etc is wrong
But I also agree that the grey space between the extremes is just that, grey - to various degrees.
Is stealing wrong? Yes, when you have the means to pay for something & you steal it anyways.
Is it still wrong if a desperate young parent steals a few cans of 0.25 cent soup & some bread, so they can feed their kid between paycheques?
The obvious answer is ‘stealing is stealing, and it’s wrong!”
But the other obvious answer is ‘Well no, there isn’t any malice behind it, they are doing what *they feel* is necessary.’
So I’m with you. If someone ONLY looks at something in black & white terms, theyre missing a huge part of the human experience.
That being said, I don’t think that’s what was being suggested.
@@jd-rm4ez Down in my part of the woods, down Texas way, we call those 'fighting words.'
@@jd-rm4ez I mean you're the one relying on insults, why not just try to have an intelligent conversation instead? Oh people...
If the mainstream press did interviews like Shawn, it might be half watchable. Outstanding interviews Shawn. Absolutely riveting window into SOF world that we wouldn't have without you.
The mainstream media is only interested in pushing a message.
@@jeffk464 absolutely agree. Interviews like this are so rare now. Shawn just opens the door and let's these guys talk. He is almost not even there. Little prompts and "holy shits" to push things along, and it works. It probably helps that he has shared experiences with the subjects of his interviews, but it also helps that he keeps then focus on them and their story. So many interviewers try to make it about hemselves, and Shawn does none of that.
I like the way this fella explains things. There’s something so raw. You can tell he gets choked up talking about the Filipino truck drivers and stuff but he does his best to keep it together. I appreciate his honesty about his first kill ect. I’d love to talk to his guy.
Pthhhht. Pthhhht. I know that sound. I'm so glad, and we are so blessed, to have these men out there on our team. God bless everyone of them.
I’d like to hear how his first wife’s life is. Seems like dude left a wake of destruction in his path and did some gnarly damage. Prayers to her and her process cause penny seems like hes healed.
The people we destroy in the process of being us Dont heal like we do.
highly underrated comment
That's the weird part of these interviews. These guys all destroyed the people around them for their "goal." Some of them clearly regret it, feel it wasn't worth it, and want to separate themselves from the whole thing. Some of them still have that "I'm the best, kick ass" mindset, unencumbered by the thought process.
Yea that was uncomfortable to listen too. Sounds like his neglect really did a number on her
Anyone who marries a military member should have known what they were getting into to some extent. The onus is on them to research what that lifestyle will be like
@@eminemobama736 I think the reason they didn't know what they were getting into is because half of these guys joined before or right as the war was kicking off, before that it wasn't the same, we forget that pre-GWOT, SEALs didn't do a whole lot besides training
Men like him are needed for society to exist. I appreciate his service !
Service for what? F*** y**
men like that fight and die defending ideologies and philosophies. Totally, agree.
@@thomashaynes3246fr
If you want to murder without repercussions, go to war.. this is Psychotic talk of a murderer no matter how you dress it up. The way he is able to express it without any remorse is a shame on humanity.
@@toconair bro he’s killing men that would take a machete to your daughters neck then proceed to hang it upside down over a village without batting an eye. Why should he feel guilt??
I implore all to watch the entire interview. Shawn always delivers and has the perfect relaxed setting to illicit the raw emotional interviews. Unreal. I could listen to this interview again. Mad respect for these warriors!!
Yeah I'm sure you could nerd...next video🥱👎
Calm down buddy. Get a girlfriend
They really know what they are looking for in devgru guys, these guys are a different breed.
Most people in these comments are civilians in assuming based on the verbiage and angle being taken. From experience taking a life isn’t anything to gloat about, when people do it’s because they’re so embedded into a culture like warfighters in any capacity (marines, infantry, seals, green berets, rangers) it’s glazed over, not until you’re removed from that smothering culture does it start to haunt you. It hit me literally within a few weeks of being out, like a million fucking bricks, PTSD, TBI, couldn’t sleep, nightmares, cold sweats, violent tendencies etc…so no one enjoys killing, taking out bad guys is a way to convince yourself and others it’s alright or “cool” but it isn’t, unless you’re completely insane or don’t have remorse. I understand and relate to the feeling of jealousy when your friends are someone else is in contact I used to chase down gunfights and take any opportunity to go after the bad guys, I’d go in every BSHO I could to get off the base. I loved and craved the fighting but it’s only because of the culture. No one’s doing it on their own, no one’s going rogue it’s all about the culture.
Appreciate your comment. What’s your opinion on Eddie talking about it the way he does. Isn’t it sending a weird message to potential recruits? That it’s a big deal, when in fact you get ptsd from this kind of things?
@@TheAnytony I think I covered it in my post but I think he was caught up in the culture of the teams and SOF world, it’s what happened to me in the infantry world. It’s like a fraternity, recruiting wise it’s what sells people on it, but you will never get selected if you want to just kill people, you have to actually be a very capable individual… if people don’t know by now that if you go right and you happen to see some shit or have to take a life; you’re going to have issues idk..it’s so publicized now, it’s not like projected though so I do feel how he talks about it is one of two things, it’s a defense mechanism or bullshit, the third option is he actually has something wrong with him, which is possible. Killing, especially justified killing can become addicting but it’s something you don’t know you’re okay with until you do it, the affects don’t hit you until later when you aren’t busy, that’s what happened to me but it could be different for some. If it never bothers you than you have a bigger problem.
@Mako07 Maybe, but I’m sure you’re a civilian, who cannot relate or even begin to fathom what it takes to take a life especially in those circumstances. It takes relation and experience to understand the position he’s coming from. You can diagnosis it however you want from your perspective but it’s prob way off. Only he knows if he actually liked it or if it was something else.
@Mako07 It's an unfortunate but required necessity in a tier 1 special operations unit.
@@3User I don’t think so, I think control is imperative. But the culture takes precedent and runs your life. That’s why most are either divorced, single or in some form of a special arrangement. It’s very difficult for a spouse to remain present and understanding when there’s no possible way they can understand.
Thanks Sean really good interview a lot of people don't get to hear that side that's important they get to
Shoutout to Shawn for asking if he wants to talk about it. Some interviewers don’t even seem to care to ask the question
These stories are very eye opening and compelling. This show is a way to help the rest of us understand just what these guys go thru. I could relate to the Crack hit analogy, always chasing the way the first hit made you feel, and never quite getting that degree of rush as the first hit....
Yep, well said. George Carlin the comedian, referred to chasing that first hit kind of feel as chasing the Virgin High. What was that song? Feels like the first time! Only in this gentleman's case the stakes were much much higher, no pun intended.
Cant thank you all enough for your service to this great country. Much respect.
Yes invading a country and massacring their inhabitants is very brave
I'm Australian my daughter married a Marine veteran of 5 deployments, you really wouldn't meet a more gentle, caring man, he also LOVED the killing he done. I am very proud of my Son in law, and he gives me great bragging rights which is a bonus lol.
Dude she was about to piss her fucking pants cause the grim reaper was standing over her with his barrel smoking from killing her husband right beside her holy shit this guy is wild!😳
Thank God dudes like Eddie are on our side. USA!!!!
People are trying to analyze his statements here and I know that is human nature and the way our minds are geared, but if you listen closely this man has the perfect mindset for an elite operator/soldier. And that is he was anxious, and excited for the ability to eliminate the enemy bc he knew they were killing his brothers in arms and other combatants but not in honorable “military” actions. Once you can wrap your mind around that ideology that the enemy you are fighting is killing your brothers in arms then all remorse or trepidation of killing is released from your psyche and you just know that your kills are saving your brother combatants lives. It’s simple…no in depth analysis, no moral dilemmas, no religious quandaries, no political ideals, just kill the enemy and your conscience is clear. This man is a national treasure and should be revered by all Americans!!! I thank you for your excellent service!!!
@Zoe Fei war is never pretty and debating philosophically about it sadly is a waste of time and energy, but with that being said, if I was in combat this is the type of man I would want watching my back and vice versa. It is easy to throw out words like psychopath and sociopath but you only get to do so bc of the blanket of freedom that men like this provide you!!
these are the warriors we need defending our country!!!! Thx u for your service!!!!
I appreciate the ownership, I appreciate the decision made, and the follow through and the acceptance and the emotional fitness.
I’m glad these guys have an outlet.
He talks about assist in kills like he's playing a game of basketball 💀
COD
Shawn, could've listened to him all day for more stories like his first? Badass dude 👍
Damn, I love these interviews. God bless these warriors
You mean legal murders? Killing people who try to defend their country
I always enjoyed the feeling it wasn't until I had been out for 2 years that I started to have different feelings about it. I wouldn't say I have remorse because they were all bad people but just sadness and well I can't really put into words the feeling really.
Intention is everything hope you have peace
Can’t fight fire with fire
What you’re feeling is a touch of PTSD.It happens to the best of us,brother.Best thing you can do is talk about it with someone you can trust-it’s always better if it’s someone who’s been there,but it doesn’t have to be.I found I couldn’t talk to my wife about what I’ve seen-she doesn’t understand,but worse,she just sees the pain but can’t do anything about it.I joined VFW-that was a joke.I ended up getting in touch with my team SGT who retired a few years after I did-he’s been there every step and has been instrumental in getting me back to me,if you will.
Blah blah blah, you murdered for uncle Sam. The middle east was never like this until America started to destabalize it. I don't feel sorry for any of you.
Who were the people you killed?
Taliban ?
Why did America invade Afghanistan
911 was an inside job, you do know that right?
The Iraq and Afghanistan invasion were illegal
America and Britain created the Taliban
Amazing content,thank you!
Great content and podcast! This channel is a great find
Thank you for keeping us safe in the USA 🇺🇸
Even though he’s only dropping evil bastards that don’t deserve to be breathing on this planet, it’s also terrifying to know how much he says that he loves killing! I’m just glad that we are allies to people like him! I just hope he never goes postal!
That lady laying next to that dead man was already jaded by all the violence so she was probably numb. Anyone will become that way after experiencing it so much.
Fear. She was frozen in fear.
no, it wasnt the violence. it was prolly the dudes 5th wife, the wife he only took to bed. she probably hated her life and wondered if itll ever get any better for her. you have to remember, this is a third world country with a mindset of a 4th world. these women are treated like livestock. i wouldnt be surprised if she was relieved in some way...
I think it was a mix of emotions: fear, relief that the nightmare of being married to a terrorist was over, plain shock, also spiritual pain (there's no way being next to him while killed doesn't leave a mark of trauma). Other threads too, she's a person with a unique life and personal history after all. Sadness too, she probably had some connection and care for him alongside everything else.
He prob wasn't husband of the year either the way the treat women/kids over there might've been happy to see him go.
She was probably forced to be with him. Literally most “relationships” over there are men forcing the women to be with them, and if they aren’t forced then they’re still being treated like shit, controlled in every sense of the word, and beaten, battered, and abused worse than most of us could comprehend. So she was probably almost happy to see he was gone. He had probably been tormenting her for years.
People talk about how brave and honorable these men are but don’t talk about how they have a thirst for blood and are traumatized beyond repair!!I
I respect his honesty and I Thank him for his service
Nobody has the right to judge this man or any man that has carried a rifle in the service of this nation. He has earned the right to speak freely without judgement, if you don’t like it go find yourself a happy place, and shut hell up. Thank You Shawn and Eddie, and everyone that has served.
Anybody has the right to say whatever they want, including you bitching about some randos saying something that hurts/triggers your feelings
Apparently you've never heard of the 1st Amendment? If these men are a true representation of what America was founded on, then they will gladly tell you they fought to uphold all speech and opinions. Even those you or they may disagree with.
Thank you for that! It speaks to their complete ignorance of being put in those situations, and they do it without question, and we, who've never served need to lend an ear or a shoulder, and just try to put yourself in their shoes. In other words, take the cotton out of your ears and stick it in your before you judge anyone, because you don't know what it's like to walk a mile in those shoes...
Absolutely disgusting to see a brainwashed man talk about how eager he was to take a life… wtf is that??? He probably thinks he’s doing it for “freedom”… 🤦🏽♂️. Stay in School Kids!! Brains over Brawn all day everyday
I've carried a rifle in the service of my neighborhood dies that count🤔
I know some of the operators during my tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. They needed to be operating regularly to not lose the edge. Worst and risky thing for the teams is low season when they may have to sit around for days with no ops
An angel of death, not everyone can do this and lucky enough you can sleep at home knowing you don’t have to.
These guys didn’t have to either. The wars we fight today are completely unnecessary.

Nah, fk this guy.
"i wanted it more,i wanted it more,i wanted it more." That statement alone gave me the chills... Respect to these soldiers...i wish i would have been graced with the balls to join...I was too fucked up already...i would have joined right about a year after 911 i would have been old enough ..i watch these videos and wonder what life would have been like if i had...my brother and uncles are all either military ir ex military... My little brother doesn't know it but he is my hero...I wish I would have went in...
This is so sad. I don’t know why but I have such a deep sadness for this guy. He must cry a lot in private
Some people might find his honesty distasteful. Many stories from war always portray the heavy weight of death being something that takes an intense toll on a soldier. In many cases that is true. To deny the fact that the elimination of one’s enemies can bring forth a primal exhilaration is denying the very human essence that has made it possible for us to exist today. If that fact and his words make you feel uncomfortable, then you owe a heartfelt thank you to men like this, because they are more in touch with our ancestral selves than many people will ever be.
Later he talked about c4 and heavy breaching blasts being his «music» and it making his head and brain ring😂😂 badass guy

This dude makes you realize why people turn to serial killers making it sound addicting to kill
Difference is Eddie is more wanting to take out pure evil rather than random citizens.
yea the difference between eddie and serial killers is that eddie doesn't kill "innocent" victims, he doesn't go around killing people for the sole reason of "just cause he can".

That feeling leads to the thought of this being someone's son or father is different.
Is it ridiculous to think that the woman was literally petrified with fear and not cold-blooded like they describe?
Very true. These guys experienced the hatred many of the enemies they fought had towards them, over and over and over again. That woman was laying next to one of these guys that they felt that hatred from. Due to the way she acted, and both these mens experience/perspective in life, it makes much more sense that this woman was cold blooded instead though. I agree with you she was probably terrified, but they understand it differently.
Just saying that these guys aren't being close minded with their perspective and at the sametime your perspective isn't ridiculous.
These two things can be true at the same time. Not mutually exclusive
This guy is a psychopath. I wouldn't be surprised if he manufactured some hero fantasy about him rescuing her from her husband, who she hated. Because all the men 'over there' are evil and deserve to die.
"I'd better not make a sound, or I'll get shot, too." Dude has zero empathy. Zero.
@@user-eh1og1ci7h then he was taught well
HE most likely killed a civilian. Insurgents don't spend the night with their wives in the open in combat zones. Many people in Iraq have weapons after the fall of Saddam for security.
Amazing
Glad we have men like him out there protecting us.
Best call of duty post-game interview ever
get ur head out the games and see shit how it is reet
Y’all gotta remember, these dudes are trained to complete a mission by whatever means possible. It is burned into their head to be the best operators. Taking out terrorists is a good thing.
As someone whos never been to war i can understand the psychology of how you as a trained professional warrior who gets sent into combat to do what you are trained for can become addicted to the killing instinct that exists in all of us, how you begin to feed off the satisfaction of taking down the enemy like a hunter stalking a prey. Its what soldiers are supposed to do just as long as its controlled focused violence against the real enemy, where as a psychopath kills for their own perverse sadistic pleasure.
Turning it all off when you get back to civilian life though is what most of them struggle with it seems.
thank you for your service.
The immense and difficult amounts and aspects of training that one has to complete to be incorporated with a development group just shows how badass these mfs are. They put them through phases to get rid of the weaks and progress the best of the best.
Its nice to see videos like this. So many refuse to talk about it. Im only aware of 1 other former dude who talks exactly like this.
For the wife, it may not be her first husband. Just another day sort of thing. Ive read that women sometimes adopt their husband's politics, so when he dies they just go and remarry someone else in that viewpoint.
When he explains why he was so eager to kill, it all makes sense. I don't think I could kill the way this man does/did but had I seen or been through the things he had been, I'm sure I could find the motivation. Who are we to judge.
Everyone has the ability. Specifically, once you have empathy for the targets victims. I think i would have found becoming a seal harder than taking shots.
his story about seeing the video of the guy with the contractors....man...i get it when he says if their was a way to kill harder, i sure as heck was searching for it
Imagine randomly getting a memory of killing a man your had previously repressed. Crazy
The two things I'd wonder listening to this, and neither comes from a place of judgement, just sincere curiosity:
1. Does that high come from the act of killing someone, regardless of who, or does it come from killing someone that you view as evil and deserving of death?
2. He talked about when he realized how evil the person he'd killed was, it made him want to kill them that much more. Do you ever wonder if that train of thought is the same one those people you're killing experienced at some point? A belief that who you're fighting is so evil/wrong that no amount of harm would be undeserved would seem to be common to both parties.
Heard no shortage of podcasts with veterans but I think this is the first time I've actually heard someone talk about what it was like killing someone for the first time. Was very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I've definitely heard decorated seals talking about how the people on the other side are often just born in the wrong place at the wrong time. this doesn't apply as much to something like the torture video he is talking about, but its similar. I think it was Dakota Myer but im not sure.
Seems like the high came from the satisfaction of a principle of justice as he saw it, like "I've truly made the world a better place" which is a universal longing. For him it's simply expressed in a job-specific way.
To your second point I absolutely think that is in play for every fighter. If you took the rulebook away, this guy would be just as willing to do to his enemy what his enemy was doing to the contractors. That’s what “killing harder” means. It means torture. He’s just not gonna say it.
@@PastaLaVista. I wonder about this a lot
Who cares if they think I'm evil? I know I'm not and they're wrong
I think alot of the tough part is when they come home. Dealing with all the things you've seen and went though..just my opinion. Thanks to all of you badass men for your sacrifices...❤
God bless all warriors who fight evil. Thanks for keeping us safe and I pray for your healing if you need it.
It’s crazy how we look at him as a hero and if someone else from a different country said the same thing about killing someone from the USA we would say they’re terrorist and they’re going to hell. This guy is sick
I tell you what I’ve me some true sociopaths in my time. I had one guy in my section who always use to watch very gruesome videos all the time a laugh at them. I remember thinking to myself ‘if this guy wasn’t here doing this he’d probably be a serial Keller somewhere’
Wow dude! Now to me, that's highly disturbing! It Beggs the question, how many true psychopaths the military has in its ranks. Then what? After he leaves the military? Is this when the thought crosses the mind of " friendly fire"? Iam sure it must cross the mind...
This guy is 100p a sociopath.
@@jeanetteseaman1297 I think the Army successfully indoctrinates people as protectors, so he is trained and programmed to have a savior complex and not follow illegal orders for instance . It’s highly on unlikely he would harm anyone after years of this.
Thass real
i can assure u that doesnt make a sociopath a sociopath
Love the both of y’all
Eddie explaining the sniper shots is great. Just like we'd imagine haha.
Sounds like those were .45 rifles not pistols. Not many exist that I know of. Could be the Kriss Vector, who knows.
@Craig Dendy the reccee snipers weren’t on overwatch. They were using their suppressed .45 sigs.
I always laugh when I hear people say America got defeated by the Taliban. It's not even close. The problem is we put the leash back on our dogs like this guy here. When the leash is off, they all get bit. Cheers to this guy! 🍻
Man seriously heavy shit ... Excellent interview..... you guys never Disappoint..🙏🇺🇲 God bless
It’s the quiet people that DON’T talk about killing that are more frightening. I remember when nobody used to really talk about that siht that they did on missions. Now it seems to be the chic thing to do on all of the social media platforms. Darn shame.
Chic thing? You a 🤡
