0:00.0	This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:23.9	Our guys, we're going to keep this botching Afghanistan series going with our special guest
0:27.3	Eddie Penny. So Eddie is very special to this podcast because not only is my friend, my
0:31.4	personal friend, he was on episode 100 of this podcast. And he was the very, very first
0:35.8	interview we ever did on Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. But more importantly than that,
0:39.9	he is a retired Navy SEAL and Marine. He was a member of DevGrew, otherwise known as
0:43.3	SEAL team six. But again, this is a guy who lost friends in Afghanistan. He lost brothers
0:48.6	over there, right? He served over there on multiple deployments, put his life on the
0:52.4	line in order to help the Afghan people and to protect Americans here, state side.
0:57.0	So got to get his perspective on this and you will not be disappointed in what he had
1:00.8	to say. So without further ado, let's get into it. Eddie Penny, thank you for coming back

1:21.5	going on on the ground in Afghanistan. Yeah, the situation. Before I begin, you know,
1:28.2	everyone's got their own opinions on this. We shouldn't be there. We shouldn't be there.
1:31.3	We should pull it out whenever we should still be there. And that's fine. That's awesome.
1:36.4	I don't have all the information. No one really has all the information. Those are unfortunately
1:41.0	stuck away in some agency somewhere. Hopefully they're on the right stuff with that. It seems
1:45.2	like they are not. But to take in what happened a couple days of the pulling out, I was very
1:53.4	sad by it. I mean, I think it's great. I don't like our troops going into harm's way.
