Summary

GRP 111-I’m joined for this episode by two friends of mine. Two guys who are highly respected and experienced Green Berets from 3rd Special Forces Group. Bryan Myers from Raise The Black, and Kevin Tretter from Warrior Woven. We gathered today to discuss the helmet cam footage released by ISIS showing the final moments of three Special Forces Green Berets from 3rd Special Forces group and one support member. SOFREP, a company comprised of former Special Operations veterans put their logo on this enemy edited propaganda video and released it saying the American public needs to see the realties of war. This is done against the wishes of the Gold Star families of the men killed on that day. I’ve communicated with Debbie Gannon the mother of Jeremiah Johnson, who’s helmet cam footage of the incident is online. She’s watched the video and allowed me to state on behalf of the family they are disgusted by the release of this video by SOFREP and want it taken down. I also read a statement made by the sister of Jeremiah Johnson regarding the video. Here is the link to sign a petiton to have SOFREP remove the video: https://www.change.org/p/remove-sofrep-s-ambush-video-from-youtube Intro: 0:00 5:54-SOFREP puts their logo on ISIS propaganda footage showing Americans being ambushed and killed in combat. 12:16-My conversation with Debbie Gannon the gold star mother of Jeremiah Johnson one of the Green Berets killed during this ambush 19:17-The realities of combat.

0:00.0	Well, thanks a lot, and it is a more serious note.
0:04.0	So I just wanted to perhaps make more of a statement and an explanation, give more of an explanation than what amounts to be a traditional press interaction.
0:14.0	Most Americans don't know what happens when we lose one of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, or coast
0:22.0	guardsmen in combat. So let me tell you what happens. They're buddies, wrapped them up in
0:28.3	whatever passes as a shroud, puts them on a helicopter as a routine, and sends them home.
0:36.2	Their first stop along the way is when they're packed an ice, typically at the
0:42.3	airhead, and then they're flown to use of Europe, where they're then packed an ice again
0:50.3	and flown to Dover Air Force Base, where Dover takes care of the remains, embombs them,
0:59.0	meticulously dresses them in their uniform, with the medals that they've earned,
1:06.0	the emblems of their service, and then puts them on another airplane,
1:10.0	linked up with a casualty officer escort
1:13.6	that takes them home. A very, very good movie to watch if you haven't ever seen it is taking
1:18.6	Chance, where this is done in a movie HBO setting. Chance Phelps was killed under my command
1:26.6	right next to me. It's worth seeing that
1:28.7	if you've never seen it. So that's the process. While that's happening, a casualty officer
1:35.9	typically goes to the home very early in the morning and waits for the first lights to come
1:40.8	on. And then he knocks on the door. Typically the mom and dad,
1:46.0	the lancer, wife.
1:48.0	And if there is a wife, this is happening in two different places.
1:50.0	If the parents are divorced, three different places.
1:53.0	And the casualty officer
1:57.0	proceeds to break the heart of a family
