Summary
In this episode, I break down the wild, true story of Jordan Goudreau — the former U.S. Army Green Beret tied to the failed 2020 Venezuela raid known as Operation Gideon — who is now officially wanted after no-showing a federal court hearing in Tampa.A decorated Special Forces veteran trained for unconventional warfare…A botched regime-change mission that mirrors decades of U.S. covert operations…And a government now hunting the same man who once executed its policies in the shadows.This is a story about betrayal, political hypocrisy, and the dangerous game the U.S. plays with the men it trains, uses, and discards.We dive deep into:– Who Goudreau is and how he built Silvercorp USA– What really happened during the Venezuela raid– Why the U.S. government turned on him– How a Green Beret becomes a fugitive– The double standard of “legal” vs. “illegal” covert action– What this means for veterans, contractors, and those who serve in silenceIf you’ve ever wondered what happens when a warrior steps off the government’s approved battlefield and acts without permission… this is the case study.This isn't about defending every decision he made.This is about telling the truth:When the government does it, it’s foreign policy.When you do it, it’s a felony.Welcome to the Mike Force Podcast.

| 0:07.7 | Welcome back to the Mike Force podcast. |
| 0:09.8 | You like the new studio? |
| 0:11.1 | Technically, it's just a room in my house. |
| 0:13.0 | It is cold in my actual studio in the shop. |
| 0:16.0 | It briefed well. |
| 0:17.8 | It just didn't execute well because I didn't think about how cold it would be or how |
| 0:22.2 | loud the propane heater would be when I'm trying to record. The summer dilemma is all the traffic |
| 0:28.0 | driving up and down the road. The winter dilemma is cold. And I don't like to be cold. I like to be |
| 0:33.5 | cozy. In fact, it's 70 degrees in my house right now, and I'm wearing this Patagonia |
| 0:38.0 | issued multicam jacket to keep myself warm. I ain't a fan of the cold. So today we're doing a |
| 0:44.2 | podcast specifically on a guy that I remember operating with named Jordan Gudrow. He's originally |
| 0:53.4 | born in Canada and came over here and is a U.S. citizen, but he's an |

| 0:59.8 | I worked with him in 10 Special Forces Group when I was standing up the commanders |
| 1:06.1 | and extremist force, the crisis response force for Africa as a J-Soc mandate. It was mandated to |
| 1:13.3 | Uycic, Special Forces Command, that they were going to do that. As they stood it up, |
| 1:18.8 | me and another team sergeant, with sniper reconnaissance background that were technical |
| 1:22.9 | reconnaissance NCOs and Delta were recruited. I've actually seen somebody contest this on social |
| 1:30.7 | media saying that nobody ever leaves the unit. Well, I did. Two Lamb did. And many other people |
| 1:36.9 | that I know did. Is it rare? Yes, it's rare. I didn't get PNGed from the unit. I didn't get kicked |
