Mikael Cook served as a U.S. Army engineer in the reserves. He was sent to Afghanistan in 2019 helping to build out infrastructure for U.S. military camps, working with local translators and other workers. He befriended his Afghan co-workers, especially an interpreter, Muhammad, and his brother Abdul.Following the Trump administration's decision in 2020 to withdraw from Afghanistan after nearly 20 years, it fell to the Biden administration to execute the withdrawal which they did very abruptly in August 2021, creating administrative and civil chaos and abandoning our allies and billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment. The scene at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport were horrific with thousands of Afghans, who had worked for the U.S. and feared Taliban reprisals, desperate to escape. With no helping coming from the Biden administration, it fell to an ad hoc coalition of U.S. civilians and military members ­­– later dubbed “Digital Dunkirk' – to help rescue as many Afghans as they could. On August 26, 2021, in the midst of the chaos at the airport, an ISIS-K terrorist suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt that killed 13 U.S. servicemen and over 169 Afghan civilians.Mikael Cook tells this tragic and dramatic story from various perspectives in his riveting book, “Life and Death at Abbey Gate: The Fall of Afghanistan and the Operation to Save Our Allies.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with former Force Recon Marine, DoD Contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan, Author and Founder of Mighty Oaks Foundation, Chad Robichaux. Chad is a former Force Recon Marine and DoD Contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Task Force. After overcoming his personal battles with PTSd and nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic, Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a leading non-profit, serving the active duty, military veteran and first responder communities around the world with highly successful faith-based combat trauma and resiliency programs. Having spoken to over 400,000 active-duty troops and led life-saving programs for over 4,500 active military and veterans at four Mighty Oaks Ranches around the Nation, Chad has become a go-to resource and is considered a subject matter expert on faith-based solutions to PTSd, having advised the former Presidential Administration, Congress, the VA, the DoD, and was appointed to serve as the Chairman of a White House Veterans Coalition. Chad is also the Co-Founder of Save Our Allies, a non-profit that's mission is focused on the evacuation and recovery of Americans, our allies and vulnerable people trapped in Afghanistan. Save Our Allies began as a personal quest for Chad, as he set out to rescue his long-time friend and Afghanistan interpreter, but the mission quickly evolved because of Chad's compassion for people and his servant heart. Since its inception, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people that were trapped in Afghanistan and is now helping in Ukraine. Chad is a bestselling author and has written a number of books related to veteran care and overcoming life's challenges, donating over 250,000 copies to the troops during his resiliency speaking tours. He is regularly featured on national media outlets and his story was notably shared in a short film by I Am Second and the documentary, Never Fight Alone. Currently, a life-story motion picture movie is being produced based on Chad's #1 best-selling book, An Unfair Advantage. Today, Chad discusses his story that led him to join the Marines at 17 years old, war stories of the Afghan War, his rescue missions throughout his career and why he continues that mission today and the importance of having compassion for those in need.

Rashad Bio: Rashad Smith is a US Army Veteran and proud owner of a popular restaurant in Wake Forest, NC which is about 1 hour from Diesel Jack Media's studios. BBQ is plentiful in North Carolina, so what makes his brand of BBQ so unique?  For starters, he has no set menu. What he makes is what you can get. The restaurant is only open 4 days a week putting Chic-Fil-A to shame. The closing time varies, because when he sells out, the shop closes. And he's got to be the only one in town serving BBQ and Smoothies, an unconventional combination that makes perfect sense when you try it.  While working as a bank teller, he felt a calling. That calling led him to join the US Army much later in life than most who enlist. Tune in and listen to how a life change to service would change his career completely.  Last but not least, yes, we've eaten there. It's f*cking amazing.

From enduring her husband's life-changing, horrific war injuries to becoming a National Advocate for wounded Veterans and their Caregivers, Sarah Verardo's relentless never quit attitude has driven her to the forefront of two separate organizations who see the needs of Veterans and Allies, which have given her the opportunity to steward resources and support where and when they are most crucially needed. Sarah's husband, Sgt. Michael Verardo was catastrophically wounded in Afghanistan in two separate IED attacks that took his left leg, much of his left arm, and left him with polytraumatic conditions that have required over one hundred surgeries and years of speech, visual, physical, and occupational therapies. Nevertheless, Sarah speaks with Marcus about the everyday challenges she and her daughters face in the care of her husband, her involvement as the CEO of The Independence Fund, and being at the forefront of Afghan Ally inclusion within the Veteran community. In August 2021, the collapse of Afghanistan led her and three others to co-found the direct-response rescue and aid organization - Save Our Allies, who evacuated more than 17,000 US citizens, SIV holders, and wartime Allies from the country and assisted in medical and humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine.  In this episode you will hear: • [Michael Verardo] was injured the first time.  He was riding as a gunner and hit a roadside IED. He was ejected out. (12:54) • On his very first foot patrol back in - It was 14 days to the day of the first IED, there was an old Russian land mine that had been hooked up to 2 – 15gallon drums of homemade explosives, and it was game over. His left leg was immediately blown off. Most of his left arm was blown off. They actually ended up sewing it to his back on his medical flight. He burned over 30% of his body. He had damage to his airway, his eardrums were blown out. It was significant poly trauma. (13:29) • Marcus: “He got banged up and then you all got married?” (17:02) • Marcus: You know the odds of that happening? That's when you know you're not behind the wheel. (17:46) • That sense of patriotism calling – That's all he wanted to do. (18:02) • It's been horrific. More than my worst nightmare. (18:26) • He actually handed me a Bible before he handed me an engagement ring. (20:18) • He said holiness needs to be more important than happiness. (20:37) • His only prosthetic leg broke, and I duct taped it for 57 days while I waited for someone at the VA to sign a piece of paper. (33:18) • The Navy and the Navy hospital took care of him as if he was one of their own while we waited for VA to kick in. (24:23) • I think there needs to be permanent designations for certain conditions. (26:24) • It seems that some people – not all - at VA would rather fail by following the process, than succeed by deviating from it. (27:21) • Independence Fund started out in the halls of Water Reed, wanting to give independence back to those who sacrificed theirs for us. (34:39) • If someone did not care about Afghanistan at that time, it told me everything I needed to know about them. (41:47) • I think the White House wants us to move on from Afghanistan. They're not only not helping – I think they're actively in the way of groups that want to do good. (52:36) • Reach out to the wounded veterans in your community and help these families. (59:15)

The joke is that the difference between conspiracy theories and conspiracy facts is about six months. Well, this is an era of conspiracy facts, especially with the three-letter agencies enjoying a total lack of accountability and transparency. Over the course of his 17 years in the military, Tim Kennedy accrued medals, badges, and tabs, including a Bronze Star. A lot of things have changed since he left, and now he's critical of the government's fight against free society, including the unconstitutionality of the FBI. Tim holds a tough line on the primacy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This episode is rich with details about the frightening state of geopolitics. Tim's expertise in special ops and intelligence informs his expertise on an array of topics, including the Nord Stream pipelines. His experience in Ukraine has shown him the deep corruption fueling the country's conflict. At the same time, the way Russia fights wars reveals the way that communism and socialism really work (SPOILER: Not great!). Tim also discusses his upcoming trip to Sudan, where two competing coups are brewing. His coalition Save Our Allies works to save lives on foreign soil. Tim and Glenn also discuss Tim's work on the History Channel show “Hunting Hitler,” which examines the theory that Hitler survived the Siege of Berlin and relocated to Argentina. (Apparently there are fight clubs in Argentina?) Glenn and Tim examine the complicated history of WWII, including the long-lasting effects of Operation Paperclip. Most of all, Glenn and Tim discuss the state of America today. “The military is always a byproduct of what our society is doing,” he tells Glenn. “And our society is woefully broken.” The power used to belong to the people, Tim tells Glenn. Not any more. Now is the time for the individual person. The response to Bud Light has shown that we, the people, still have the power; it's only a matter of coming together: “There's no scarier group than a unified America.”  SPONSORS: Right now, you can save $200 on an EdenPURE Thunderstorm Air Purifier 3-pack for whole-home protection.

What an incredible guest we have on this week's Team Never Quit Podcast. Marcus engages in a compelling discussion with former Force Recon Marine, Chad Robichaux. With eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Task Force, Chad overcame his personal battles with PTSD after nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic.

Another one of Chad's personal endeavors, Save Our Allies, is focused on the evacuation and recovery of Americans, our allies and vulnerable people still trapped in Afghanistan. His original mission was to rescue his long-time friend and Afghanistan interpreter, but the mission quickly evolved because of Chad's compassion for people and his servant heart. Since its inception, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people that were trapped in Afghanistan and he is now helping in Ukraine.

He holds a 4th degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and is a former Professional Mixed Martial Arts Champion having competed at the highest levels of the sport. In this episode you will hear: • My family has 84 years of military service. (11:38) • I was raised in a very dysfunctional home because my father never recovered from Vietnam. (13:26) • Our operation was compromised and I ended up being abducted. (28:52) • On the surface, everything seemed fine. Then I crashed, had an affair, filed for divorce, and attempted to take my life. The some amazing people came around me and helped us to restore my family and my faith. (32:39) • I tried to build the courage to take my life and I had my Glock 40 caliber pistol, but I was interrupted, and it was enough to pump the brakes. (33:20) • My wife asked me: “How can you do all you did in the military, but when it comes to your family, you'll quit?” (34:19) • You're gonna deal with anxiety, depression, and anger, but you could respond to it in a better way that could lead you to a better place. 37:36) • God's like a centerpiece solution, because a lot of what we deal with are spiritual wounds. (38:31) • President Bush signed the Opportunity for Faith Mission in 2001, then in 2009, President Obama signed a policy to override that, and take funding away from faith-based programs. (53:14) • In Afghanistan, people couldn't go in to help, but in Ukraine you could drive a bus across the border to do mass evacs. (55:37) • I've been getting a lot of heat like: Why are you going over there to help – the governments is corrupt. None of that matters. These people didn't ask for any of this. They're being invaded by a super power. (58:15) • Glenn Beck (Radio Show Host) raised 21 million dollars to support our mission. (77:49) • The White House said there were 100 Americans left [in Afghanistan] but without debate there were thousands of Americans still there. (80:38) • You don't leave Americans behind. The White even promised that they wouldn't but they did. (81:43)

Who is Chad Robichaux's JSOC interpreter Aziz? During their eight deployments together in Afghanistan, Chad and Aziz saved each other's lives more times than either could count, providing invaluable intel and establishing connections all over the region. But when the Afghan government fell and interpreters began being hunted by the Taliban, suddenly Aziz and Chad had bigger problems. Because it wasn't just getting Aziz out that was the problem - it was getting his family out safely too. And of course, neither could have known at the time that they were building the foundation for Save Our Allies, an organization that's helped thousands of families escape since.----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:20 - Merry Christmas from Mike Drop05:00 - How Chad Met Aziz08:00 - Bashir 14:00 - A Firefight Exit16:00 - Buying Russian Weapons20:00 - It's Not 'Corruption', it's 'Business Facilitation'22:00 - Born in Kabul24:30 - Escaping the Taliban29:00 - Living under Mujahideen Rule35:00 - They're Kind of Like Gangs, but Worse41:00 - Nobody Really Thought about the U.S. until the War44:00 - A Hairy HVT Story49:00 - John Wick Academy50:00 - A Shockingly Effemninate Talib54:00 - An Administration Gone Quiet1:00:00 - Learning to Culturally Blend In1:09:00 - Encouraging Cooperation1:11:00 - Close Calls at the Bank1:16:00 - Hearing about the Withdrawal for the First Time1:23:00 - Holding Leadership Accountable1:26:30 - Crafting the Daily Caller Story1:36:00 - Five Days in Hell1:40:00 - Through the Taliban & Getting Shot at Along the Way1:45:00 - Evaccing the Family1:48:00 - One Backpack, One Pair of Clothes1:53:00 - From Chad's Perspective1:59:00 - 300,000 People Are Still Trying to Get Out2:04:00 - Acclimating to America2:06:00 - Chad, Meet Hatra2:11:30 - 9 Months in Abu Dhabi2:15:00 - Dennis' Perspective2:19:00 - So There's a Man in a Ghillie Suit...----------Support Aziz & Chad Robichaux: Saving Aziz (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Saving-Aziz-Mission-Calling-Thousands-ebook/dp/B09YNH4SF2Save Our Allies: https://saveourallies.orgMighty Oaks Foundation: https://www.mightyoaksprograms.orgIG: https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_official------------Sponsors:MyBookieSign up at MyBookie, use my promo code MIKEDROP and you'll instantly get a deposit bonus up to $1000!------------Black BuffaloUse promo code MIKEDROP at checkout for 15% off your first order on BlackBuffalo.com.
