Beret Colors are cool and all, but you could have gone back to Bush Hats lol.

Sounds like key leadership would rubber stamp anything Slife told them, no matter how stupid.

I'm not even AF and it always chafed me the AF seemingly refused to mention the Carpetbaggers, going so far as to leave their parent unit's lineage out until 2017...and then bringing it back as a training command. The no shit forerunners of AFSOC ("Combat Talons" in their day) were even ignored in Vietnam where an SOS was practically everywhere?

I was recently on AFN via American Warrior Radio to talk about our work at West Point's Modern War Institute.

Navy SEAL. Served with Jocko in Iraq. Spent 2 years in the Middle East as one of only 2 Arabic speaking SEALs (at the time), Resigns commission to become a PJ, actually makes it. Now, Anthony "Donny" Donahue might get tapped to be the next Ambassador to the Phillipines.

Great man, a true Patriot, and a wild story.

Could you give the bangers a rest? I'm already buried in great podcasts.

Yes, wild story. I feel very...inconsequential and so underachieving....

The crappiest thing is that he’s one of those dudes that’s so genuinely nice and humble that you can’t even talk shit about him? Like, he makes YOU want to be better? It’s super frustrating.

Also, keep your lil peepers peeled, @Marauder06 and I just crushed on The Spear. Fire hour of content.

I can't wait to edit that episode and get it on the street.

I love including little easter eggs from my life, to include my good friends. Glad you caught it.

Did you plan that or when you heard his story did it just pop into your head like Italian lead into a Kennedy's?

Fun fact- I do almost zero show prep for any show. Some that we deem more important (like the rescue of Marcus Luttrell) I will extensively research to make sure I understand the fact patterns an can push back if someone says something stupid or just a lie, because I feel like I have that responsibility ("appropriate gatekeeping")- but about 95% of the time, we purposely don't do a ton of prep.

I do enough prep to understand the guest, what they care about, and if they're on the show to highlight an issue or cause, but other than that, I truly try to remain curious, focus on them, don't make it about myself, and let the conversation flow.

When Donny talked about seeing multiple teams like 3 times (he actually served with Jocko's team twice, Jocko was just not the officer the second time) it immediately made me think of our lunch at Bagram, we talked about you seeing the same folks after they returned to the real world and came back and you were still there.

You know, as I type this... you should tell that story on the podcast.

I debated saying "Never heard of her" or something else pithy. But the pod was too good, I couldn't even shame you in jest.

The best part was when we were trying to figure out the comms failure at the end (I edited that out).
