Andy Stumpf was Involved in the Rescue of Jessica Lynch | Joe Rogan

"I think that people are often in a rush to talk in an educated manner about things they know nothing about." Brilliantly put.

My friend, Sgt. Don Walters, was KIA in the firefight Jessica Lynch was captured in. RIP Don

The MSM and Army PR lied their ass off about what happened and tried to make out Jessica was a war time hero. They wanted her to go along with it. Pressure was put on her but she would not have any of it. She would not dishonor her fellow soldiers. She told the truth from the very beginning. That makes her a very special kind of hero. Jessica, there's millions of us military vets who love you.

The one thing I learned about combat…..it is nothing like the way it is depicted most of the time. There is no drama, no music, no bravado, there is fear, anticipation, anxiety, and if you are in a good group, absolute focus. Emotion is either totally suppressed or only vented in private. The thought of “ How the hell did I end up here?” Seemed pretty common to me. I never remember feeling fearful for myself, but I remember being scared to death for the friends I couldn’t immediately support. Decades later, I am still trying to make peace with the ghosts.

So, I heard 8200lbs instead of 80 to 100. Then my brain caught up.

"I think people are often in a rush to talk in an educated manner of things they know nothing about". Some platinum grade truth right there.

Two tours, three wounds, one serious....there were many heroes no one will ever hear about, God bless them all.

The best line by Andy: "People are often in a rush to talk in an educated manner about things they know nothing about."

Andy: "I think people are often in a rush to talk in an educated manner about things they know nothing about." Joe: sweats profusely

Andy’s stories are endlessly interesting. And they’re still not long enough. You know it’s a good pod when Joe is silent and listens. Nothing but respect for Andy.

I like dudes who can tell stories without sounding like their stroking themselves off. Enjoy listening to him.

Jessica is from a county over from my home here. I have never met her, but just want to say that I know she spent much time there at home after her experiences. While it is not materially rich, it is full of small town charm, wonderful people, beautiful countryside and very serene. Hopefully, it was a big aid in her recovery.

Our Drill Sergeants always made sure we cleaned our weapons and said we didn’t want to be like Jessica Lynch. The real narrative has always been out there amongst the troops.

"The helicopter took 27 rounds but not a single person was even hit, it was crazy" Oh wait no, the door gunner was shot right through the head... yeah he died instantly But everyone else was good

Andy Stumpf was in DEVGRU for some years, until he got shot and severely wounded in combat. He’s got a hell of a story and the fact it isn’t more well known speaks volumes about his humility.

Joe Rogan is a great interviewer. Really knows how to ask a question, STFU and listen to the response. A lot of interviewers today need to watch this guy and learn from him!

Imagine training for years to be part of a special operations helicopter crew, get shot in the head before you even drop off the SEALS, and almost 17 years later you are a meme in the comments of the guy from fear factor's podcast.

This dude is 42? He still looks like he's ion his 20's

I have a friend who is also a operator involved in the rescue, he had told me the same thing. And this was shortly after returning. Good news was that our team had also gotten a hold of her captors and retribution was given

Just seeing this video now after watching a Jessica lynch documentary and this Andy guy is a hero for helping to save her. I praise all those ppl as hero's because they deserve it 100%
