Thank you Mr Spooner and Mr Ryan for this! Being in recovery for 26 years now it still amazes me that God has draw me to your podcast to teach and reveal parts of my life that are still Unresolved.

Knowing that there are men of your faith and commitment to God,sobriety and our country us inspiring as well is humbling. God bless both of you,and the work you have done and continue to do! Both of you have gained another supporter to your organizations.

I have been thinking about this interview for many days after watching it. I will probably watch again. He is humble and very honest. I recognize that there are people that will criticize him for wanting to kill the enemy but I want those same people to admit that when the next big event occurs that causes damage to our nation and kills innocent people, that they won’t wish they had this warrior protecting them. It will happen sooner than most realize and I for one will be thankful for men and women like Tom Spooner.

Hey Mark. Many share your views including many people I know. In my very humble opinion there are powers above even the most elite warriors. Even if these retired elite SF types were to organize, the real enemies are not visible to the eye and can not be defeated using SF tactics. Frustrating as it is. That is where we are.

I'm not impressed at all with any so called "elite" warriors when I think they took an oath defend this nation against foreign and domestic terrorists!!?? Why are all of the chill, just doing my job volunteer killers not upholding their oaths!? It's as if they join just to stoke their egos and desires to kill "combatants," most often illiterates in many jammies; not equal foes. With everything falling apart in this hellscape of a Republic, are all of these elite killer bros just fine and dandy with the collapse happening and nobody in the military will fight for the nation? We're living in a completely Twilight Zone era and it's bat shit crazy how all of the real enemies are just getting wealthier and ex military are trying to scheme for money and hawking guns and survival gear... I guess just like the inception of this Republic... it's all for yourself and by yourself...unity and standing for freedom were just marketing hype! Unbelievable!!

Almost passed this one. But damn, might be my favorite. So thankful for these warriors. They deserve all of God's graciousness before, during, and after service.

Seems like at 2hours 10min and 57seconds something gets cut out. Anyone else noticed this?

I am not military but ex firefighter but completely empithize with Mr. Spooner, seeing myself in many of his words. This is a fantastic example of a real man with all the complications that follow and a real worrior going the extra mile to heal himself (with help) for all the right reasons, I am a better person for listening. Thanks Shawn!
