come out of the southern part of Afghanistan and we were actually going into Bogota for like a night.

Everybody was acting the green go fool and the guys wanted to grab a beer and we turned to walk in the Bogota beer company in the whole front of it.

His blows out.

My ears were ringing. I sit up and everybody in the restaurant is still just sitting there on fire.

So I look over at my sword major. My ears are completely blown out and he's yelling but I can't hear what you saying.

He was pointing the way to go and it was opposite of where everybody else was running.

You know he had worked in Columbia a long time and he knew there was a secondary.

We picked up and we just were pushing through the crowd and sure shit.

Another explosion right into where everybody was running and then followed by AK-47 firing.

We just kept moving until we cleared out of there and got up to a piece of high ground where we could

observe and report and call the embassy and you know but it just came out of nowhere man.

Welcome to Mike Drop the podcast where relevancy is irrelevant and we don't give a shit about your feelings.

Ladies and gentlemen as always it's both an honor and a pleasure to welcome my next guest to the podcast.

He spent almost 23 years on active duty in the United States Army primarily as a green beret.

He's got three he's got a multitude of deployments three of which the long Iraq year long deployments that we're going to get into.

I'm sorry Afghanistan deployments that we're going to get into but he's been to Iraq and Columbia as well.

He's the author of Operation Pineapple Express.

He's also the founder of Task Force Pineapple. He's a playwright working on a project with Gary Sinees called Last Out that we'll talk about.

And Sam Troutman's character in Rambo was not loosely but tightly based off of him.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the stage Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann.

He can make the things that make a billy goat puke.

That's right. Tell me you didn't were you inspired by that movie?
