We should all be extremely grateful for UK and US special forces. Heroes to a man. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.

I'll always be grateful to Chris Ryan for Strike Back. Scott and Stonebridge forever!

I never learnt how to read growing up and it wasn’t until I found myself in prison in a desperate state of mind I learnt how to read. The One That Got Away was the book that helped me the most with my reading and state of mind. Respect ✊

Best podcast I've seen in some time. Absolute balls of British steel. Thanks to Mr. Ryan for sharing his story, and thanks to Mr. Carr for giving him the platform and letting him paint the word-pictures of his ordeal without unnecessary interruptions and questions. Huge thanks to both of you warrior poets for your service to the rest of us both on and off the battlefield.

What a pleasure to hear two intelligent ex-soldiers conversing. There have been a few times when I have been struggling on an endurance event or long bike ride when I have recalled Chris`s long march and have dug deeper. An inspirational guy.

Chris Ryan at his peak was probably the most competent soldier in the world. An absolute machine. I have seen him participating in the toughest training regimes among elite Special Forces units around the world and he usually came top of the class for any exercise: local commanders were astonished that this foreigner could just turn up and out-compete their own soldiers. A legend. Attributed to George Orwell: "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.". Thankyou Chris Ryan

My dad bought Andy’s and Chris’s books, I read them both a few times over, my dad died in 1995 and reading those books brought him back, hanging on every page late into the night. Thanks for this interview Dad would have watched your channel. I subbed, stay free, we are counting on you and people like you to save us right now.

Had the pleasure of meeting Chris at RAF Hereford in ‘96, I was there playing enemy for SAS training for a couple of days, although he had left the Regiment by that point he was there as training staff. Being so close to the gulf war we were a little star struck, I’d only been in the army 3 or 4 months and there I was working with Legends.

That was the first live action scowl I've ever seen on Jack. 1:08:30 When Ryan talked about the Syrians playing a joke. That look was a glimpse of that caged monster. Every other moment he has a smile on his face. With regard to Mr. Ryan ... what a story. Thank you again Jack for bringing great stories to the world.

My Dad was in the SAS.. Guess what? He didint speak about anything he did to his death bed.. Feel so sorry for their underlying issues that werent even diagnosed at that time..
-
Jack what a podcast. As a young bloke I read both Andy McNabb and Chris Ryan's book . It was great to here Chris tell the story raw and unedited in person. Great work.
-
What a true warrior. Honor and respect to Chris! Keep up the great work Jack, GOD bless you both!
-
what I love about Chris is that he doesn't look dangerous, he only looks dangerous to a delicious hamburger. Love this guy.
