We have been deeply honored to have two perspectives – Brad who was a Ranger there, and Ishmael who was a PJ responding to save lives. [If you missed those episodes, please go back and download. Such a privilege to get to spend time with these guys. Humbling to hear their firsthand insights. You won’t have the privilege anywhere else.] Ed shares with us a third perspective. What happened after? What impact did the remarkable heroism + professionalism have on the guys to follow? What impact did the events + how the enemy behaved have on our training? How was it used to learn lessons that would save lives in the future and enhance the incredible capabilities of the elite military units? Ed shares his perspective and much, much more on today’s show. This is a two parter – Ed will be back w/ more bombs, bullets + explosions in the second half. Not to be missed.
