    Keep the veteran interviews coming. All the content, from all the podcasts, is great but the veteran content is golden and I hate to see it lost. Thank you for sharing these stories!

    This man fought the Nazis. Real, actual Nazis, head to head. As time marches on, fewer and fewer of these heroes remain. Thank you to Jocko and Echo for giving this man a platform, and preserving his story on video for future generations.

      It's a terrible thing that the main percentage of young people in this day in age have no idea about WW2 or history in general, these men were heroes of the highest order. Paradropping into Normandy, Italy and Holland. Fighting Rommel in the blistering heat of Africa with thousands of tanks and vehicles, pilots flying extreme bombing raids deep into Germany, night and day. The commandos storming Saint Nazaire or the US Mountain teams storming Monte La Defensa against impossible odds (literally impossible), the allied nations fighting together at the bottom of Monte Cassino to Belgium and the Siegfried line. The extreme violence that US and Australian troops went through in the Pacific and Asia, fighting against battle hardened Japanese soldiers and suicidal attacks. The thousands of men who died in massive sea battles across the world, drowning in burning oil and surviving blizzard freezing temperatures for weeks on end when escorting convoys through the Arctic to Russia. RAF and USAAF forces fighting together over the skies of Europe and England.
      Even on both sides, German soldiers have my respect. If you forget the regime and the ideals the German soldiers were some of the finest fighting soldiers of the world who engaged in insane battles across the whole world, fighting dozens of nations all at the same time. They dont make people like that anymore, learning the history of WW2 gives you a whole new appreciation of the world we live in. RIP to the fallen who gave there lives for their countries and democracy across the globe.

      My Pop was a 2 tour Vietnam combat veteran, infantry and Air Cav., doorgunner in a slick. I am honored to have known MANY other Vietnam, as well as World War ll veterans growing up. In his final years, Pop belonged to a disabled veteran's shooting/ hunting club. I used to modify ATV trailers into blinds with shooting tables and beer reloading stations for them, just priveledged to hear the stories these men have to tell.
      I am hooked. This is a great series, I've watched everything you've got on Vietnam LRRPs, some of whom my Pop flew in support of. Vietnam was a fact of life for me, born in 1965, I remember it mostly as black and white images of Hueys and Walter Cronkite. My grandmother certain she saw her baby in the door of every chopper.
      As these men pass, we lose history that is not being taught or passed down to our current generation, lessons in life, in character, in American history.
      We are listening.

    Something often overlooked in military history are the flying sergeants & petty officers of the army, marines & navy during WW2.
