Apache pilot, Dan McClinton, recalls the most savage day of his deployment—flying into a literal hellstorm. 300 insurgents. One Apache blown out of the sky. A crash site surrounded. And zero time to think. When you’re flying into the sun with nothing but steel and fury between you and death,…

In this episode, we go cockpit-side with Army attack helicopter pilot Dan McClinton, who’s seen—and delivered—hell from above.

Imagine showing up to the start of Hell Week — and the dude next to you reeks of beer and can’t stand straight. This is SEAL training, not frat rush. But in that moment, we realized: we’re not quitting. Hungover or not. #specialforces #military #navyseals #veterans Vice Admiral Bob Harward…
They blocked. Provoked. Threatened. He had the shot — and didn’t take it. Iran needed to be put in check. We had the firepower.

Sit-ups and psych evals are overrated. Special Ops screening test? A bar. In the Philippines. At 8 PM.

Afghans all had guns — but did that mean they were a threat? They weren’t out to kill us. They were broke. Desperate. Just trying to make it through another day. Same way people in Texas carry — survival, not war. #specialforces #military #navyseals #veterans #texas Vice Admiral Bob Harward…
Pete Hegseth is a polarizing figure — but what if he’s right? The Pentagon’s been burning billions on bullshit for decades. It’s time to run the military more like SOCOM: lean, efficient, and deadly. Mattis tried. Hegseth’s trying. But is it too late? #PeteHegseth #NavySEALs #specialforces #military Bob Harward |…

White phosphorus — Willie Pete. Makes 'em get up and boogie real quick. Use it right and you scare the enemy out of hiding. Use it wrong and you break every rule there is.

Straight from the dudes who were there — we had Osama bin Laden in our sights. And what did we do? Not a damn thing. This week's Mike Drop dives straight into the k*ll shot that could have ended it all in 2001. Instead, we got 20 years of blood…
We had Bin Laden locked in. But politics and bureaucracies told the real warriors to stand down. And boom — 20 years of blood spilled for nothing.

20 years of war. Thousands of brothers in arms. And when it came time to leave Afghanistan — we abandoned them. Left them to be hunted, slaughtered, betrayed by the same government they fought for alongside us. This Mike Drop episode pulls no punches: the withdrawal wasn’t just a failure…
We fought side by side with these people. Lived with them. Bled with them. And for what?

You're a walking deadman. No one is coming to save you. Green Beret Geoff Dardia lays it all out. Was 20 years, trillions of dollars, thousands of American lives worth it? And then only to hand Afghanistan back to the Taliban with a goddamn bow on top. We sit down…
