What Does War Do to the Most Elite Warfighters on the Planet?
This conversation dives into the psychological weight of trauma shaped by both war and childhood adversity, and how those experiences can quietly influence a person for years. Reflecting on stories tied to combat, loss, and difficult family dynamics, the discussion highlights how moments from war—like missions that leave lasting emotional scars—can embed themselves deep in the psyche and continue to surface long after the battlefield.

maybe it wasn’t him…maybe it was you. And he knew it. He did his job knowing you would never be close
Whats coming is going to be way worse that anything we’ve seen. Medieval battles come to mind.
Carnage beyond carnage
Its crazy how our lives make us who we are good and bad
🙏✝️🧠
Hearing them talk about growing up and receiving such negative comments and feedback from people and family you looked up to and how it lit a fire for them to succeed really hits home here. I wish I would’ve responded the same way but I didn’t. I think I more or less was like “well you say I’m a fuck up and will never amount to anything well fuck it I will prove you right I guess cause I turned to alcohol and drug use at a young age and just continued doing it for most of my life. I’m 53 now and I have finally sobered up and no longer do the things I used to but I look back now and regret very much I didn’t do something or really accomplish anything. Ive somehow survived this long and I don’t really know how considering how reckless I have lived my life. I’m not complaining or trying to get sympathy nor would accept it. I’m just trying to figure out where to go from here. I don’t really know what I’m going to do. I just literally live one day at a time and try now to be a good person and do the best I can. Most of my family who I would really like to make amends to are no longer here and that’s what I struggle with the most. A lot of people say if I could go back I wouldn’t change a thing. Knowing what I know now I sure would if I could.
So who is this guy?
The only thing Shawn Ryan is good for is misinformation and disinformation
American hero’s, are hearts are with you.
Soul Daddy= food for thought. Are we the fruit that is sought.? And Son, as the veil thins, beyond thoughts , of past battles fought .We Are enough .Are we not ?
I think you were touched by the hand of God – our Heavenly Father! ❤
Very sad.
Beautiful stories.
Psalms 91 :11 Good will put His angels in charge of you, to protect you wherever you go
I can hear the weight you had to carry in your voice and the courage you summon every day in your body language. Your amazing!
There’s too many things pointing to life after death and the difference between life and death being much thinner than what we realize.
“I told myself not to do this…”
It’s funny when we think we can overpower our strong emotions.
My dad passed away in 2020. I had just lost my dog, my uncle, then my dad, so I was in a deep depression (still am to be honest). No one was there for me when he died, not a single person, and I became very bitter and just stopped talking to everyone. A couple years later in 2022 I had been thinking about a friend of mine named Otto. Otto was a really good friend of mine for several years and was there for me when my grandpa died in 2014, but we hadn’t talked since my dad died. I thought about stopping by Otto’s house one day to see what he was up to, but for whatever reason I didn’t. A few days later I had a dream about him. In the dream he said “I’m here with your dad and we are both laughing our asses off”. I woke up really confused. A few weeks later my friend got a hold of me and asked me if I knew that Otto had passed away. I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure he died the night I had the dream about him saying he was with my dad. Both of them were hilarious people and had a great sense of humor, so I could see Otto and my dad getting along just great. There’s definitely something more out there.
Do you ever interview anyone who was in the Navy but not a seal? Would you interview a submariner who hauled you guys on missions? I would do that interview.
Your Dads might have beat you, but at least he paid you some kind of attention. I always wanted my Dad to show he cared.
Great video-now I’ve hit $170,590. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night-generational wealth isn’t just about getting money. It’s about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family
if they don’t understand how to manage and sustain it
Screws with there heads yes your correct bro
Made us numb initially, furios later when we found truth about wars, many different feelings, dealing with civilians who insult us and etc…
But what we need to focus is leaving all that baggage and pain, being in the now as there is nothing but now, and run for every office from local to President and never be again puppets for some elite groups and their financial lobby.
There is a light.
Breath work is the key, everyone needs to try it.
My parents beat me daily, broken wooden spoons over back in bath tub till they broke, than new one.
Older kids outside, so fights daily home and outside..
Never phased me for some reason, as it made me stronger and last time my parents beat me in Bosnia, i laughed and they stopped.
They got scared.
KO’D my mom at age 11 with high kick after acting out, and dad never tried anything till later and Karma is a thing.
In most European nations at time there were no laws or anyone to stop what in US they call abuse.
Never stuck with me and I forgave my parents and we are all good now for decades.
Raising kids is not easy now I understand when I have 2, but have never used force to discipline them, nor will.
Ketamine is a great treatment for depression.
One treatment did it for me. Like dark cloud just lifted off me permanently.
Years later still free.
That was post medical retirement after 9 years as 11B.
Lift weights, be positive and keep it up.
Never allow doubt in your mind, discipline is key.
Your very soul. Don’t kid yourself.
Problem is . We have forgotten the art of total warfare. Heard my uncles talk , jump into Normandy , Higgins boats , Island hopping . Mission was hit the beach try not to kill civilians but take no prisoners. Mission first . We fire bombed cities, and then we, the only nation to use atomic weapons on civilian populations. A nation that had no air defense, no navy . An Island .
Since then what dO we have . Lawyers telling us how to fight a conflict. Congress has not declared war since WWII. Until we declare war.
Our people will suffer for years. God bless you all . Ive got 2 multiple tour sons . I know . They were held back .
Shawn Ryan is the NEW JOE ROGAN 2.0!!!
I wish every American could spend a few days with our warriors overseas. Spec Ops and all the support functions are special beyond comprehension. From all ages and walks of life, but so amazing when it’s go time. Warriors and Patriots yes, but phenomenal humans mostly because you need all three characteristics.
what happens now. ?
What do we do now ?
You live with it. – Clint Eastwood
GUNG’HO 🆚 Switching the machine ⚙️FF 🚩
Ok dont worry about the grunts that saved the elites asses all the damn time. OGA sucks ass in my AO.
Dude.😮
if you want to survive during the tribulation (but the rapture hasn’t happened yet)…… Long pork.
You must mentally prepare for long pork…….
Could you cook long pork for starving neighbors?
This is just after the federal government federally decriminalizes cannabalism.
It will get that bad.
The globalist like for ever wars just to destroy America. We need to take them down then we can have peace. Thats why Trump is trying to destroy them all along Epstein files.
My upbringing by my father showed me exactly the man I didn’t want to be my mother showed me the good in life I know I didn’t want to be a monster like him
Now this is a cool episode. It’s safe to say you made it up to us. Now put Hillary Clinton and Alex Jones on
When I hear reflection like this, I tend to reflect on my own experiences. After 21 years in Army EOD, I have a few reflections myself. After seeing others having issues with their experiences, I have tried to do what I can to learn about myself and the issues others are dealing with. We can’t take anyone’s experiences for granted no matter how trivial we may think they are. This has lead me to helping out through a few veterans assistance organizations. We all need assistance figuring out how to deal with living a special life style and transitioning from that.
Dude just casually threw in there “was working with palantir”. Jeez.
CHINESE SOLDIERS ARE CANNABALS.
Anywhere Chinese soldiers occupy a location….
If no supply lines…..
They are well versed in cooking long pork…….
Bomb shelters and bankers will be plundered for supplies and before they eat the supplies……😮
THEY EAT ALL THE PEOPLE LIKE PORK😮. And then they will replace the people they ate with Chinese soldiers…
🙏
God bless you gentlemen for talking about this shit. Now, just think of the beautiful kids that are in your care that will get those much needed lessons from you.please don’t should on yourselves. Your good people.
Know that the struggle is real, stay strong; you got this 💪. The people praise your service and sacrifice.
Shawn Ryan help destroy America 🇺🇸 And he, and people like him are destroying the world 🌎
Stop fighting wars for defense contractors.
Thank you for sacrifices, both, and your personal truth. I honor ur feelings, the vulnerability. May I…complete your statement?—rhetorical-I am 😅. “I wish you would have found a different way to fight your demons—“…’instead of using me as the mirror you loved to break. Yet I am a man made in forges of fires, so very few dare see 10,000 miles and days later.” I am here now, truly, in spite of him, and love for myself
What does God do for every one of us no matter what the situation no matter how dark and no matter how evil? None of us are immune none of us are alone. Do we rest upon evil after such experiences or rely upon that which gave us grace to work through and tell our stories. God is the answer regardless of how evil we may want to believe things are. God knows evil in all manners and forms and depths that go even deeper than the worst things we could ever see or even perform. Lets not test this, but feel some goodness that God will take care of the worldly things and be as good as can be expected for oneself and those around us. Jesus died for us, every single one of us, knowing the sins that all of us would commit-,yes these sins and even worse. Not so that we would escalate but realize and commit no longer but to own up, repent, and shine light upon those acts to allow oneself to remain upon the path and to allow truth for the others to choose the same. In some ways the road to heaven is one choice. Having said this, it is a multi layered complex matrix enveloping us in which that one choice is made.
Hey man, that was the hand of God, not your dad. I had very similar/surprising experience a few years ago.
Me, too. Yes. A double edged sword. But, we were strong. Stronger than anyone else I ever knew. and you’re so right. We could’ve turned into gang bangers, well not me since I’m female, but I understand you guys. Sending hugs and blessings your way. And, BTW, beatings are beatings. Until 12 years old I got it on bare skin, he pulled up my shirt and pulled down my pants, with my father’s work belt (he was a beer truck driver) while my mother and grandmother stood in the doorway and laughed. Then something clicked when my mother said she would give me a quarter to see the welts, and I started screaming at the three of them. I must’ve scared the hell out of them because I never got a beating again. They simply decided never to speak to me. broke my heart. I think I would’ve preferred the beatings. I’m 75 years old and it’s still pisses me off what they did to that young girl.
Love you guys.❤
My son would not be here if it wasn’t for a dream I had. I know God is real. I don’t have faith. Faith is believing in something you can’t prove. But God has open the curtains to me. He has proved himself to me. Through more than just the dream that saved my son’s life. Many many miracles I’ve seen in my 39 years.
I totally understand u guys I got my ass beat belts hand grounded to my room
00:36 this guy being interviewed in this video is scary, he looked like ISIS (our enemy) but sounded American.
Great video. Thanks.
A boy will live his entire life seeking his dad approval…
