CleanHONOR THE BRAVE - WWII BATAAN DEATH MARCH, GREAT RAID RESCUE W/ AN ARMY RANGER | Jaw-dropping courage. Extraordinary perseverance. Astonishing resilience. In the lead up to Veterans Day, we’re zeroing in on a WWII story that deserves to be just as well-known as Pearl Harbor…and yet few know it. Hook yourself up and pay tribute with us to those who gave everything for our freedom. Join Allison and veteran Jacob Dahl served in 2nd Ranger Battalion. He took on the Bataan Memorial Death March extreme marathon (Heavy Ruck Division) - a remarkable feat - to recognize the surviving veterans and those who we have lost from this time. Known as one of the most difficult marathons in the world, it honors those incredibly brave warriors who against overwhelming numbers and firepower, while starving and often suffering from crippling malaria and dysentery, cut off from the US military… they resisted the Japanese invasion to stop them from reaching the US west coast and invading our homeland. And then continued to suffer beyond imagination for another three years as POWs were subjected to staggering brutality at the hands of the captors in a merciless environment. They are truly a lesson to us all. Hear firsthand about this remarkable “Death March” event held in the desert terrain of the White Sands Missile Range (famous for nuke bomb testing and now missile tests). Between the sheer scale, the heat, the elevation making just breathing far more difficult, the scorpions and tarantulas, running on the terrain of sand and other threats, about 25 percent become casualties during the Bataan Memorial Death March. Find out about how Army Rangers compete for the honor of paying tribute to these brave souls. The Battalions, and other parts of the military, put forward their best men to participate. Go inside this unforgettable tale when Japanese forces invaded the Philippines – but the soldiers hung on and defended the crucial islands for seven more months starving, ill, wounded and isolated. The “Bataan Death March” followed when the Japanese marched about 75,000 soldiers across 65 miles of jungle, scorching heat – carrying the wounded and Japanese supplies. Too slow for the Japanese? Couldn’t keep up the crazy fast pace because of wounds? Soldiers were bayoneted, shot, decapitated, buried alive, sometimes tortured and beaten to death – to name a few of the ways lives were lost. By the time they reached the camp, more than 10,000 had been killed en route. Once there, the soldiers endured about three years of unspeakable, staggering brutality in the POW camps. Known as “the Great Raid,” US Army Rangers pulled off an amazing raid to liberate those brave souls. Don’t miss the chance to hear an inspiring Ranger from this generation provide his insights on this chapter of our military history, share his experiences with the veterans of the Bataan Death March and provide his secrets to conquering extreme challenges.

Customer Reviews
How about Tactical Talk WITHOUT Allison Barrie
Love the guests and topics but can't listen to Barrie. She 1) GIGGLES 2) Is too coy with the questions 3) vomits inane chatter and 4) TALKS OVER HER GUESTS.
Could be great
Alison is a little frustrating. The hero worship is so bombastic it starts to feel disingenuous quickly with the same "humble James Bond" message coming through over and over. These guys are truly incredible in their efforts and achievements and hearing them compared to ridicules, impossible Hollywood characters just muddies the water. That said, the guys she interviewing seem very comfortable with her and the show is ultimately enjoyable.
This Podcast Is A Must-Listen
Listened to the first episode and I got hooked. Binged all the eps while working on my truck this weekend. Great content. ALL the eps - they’re ALL a must-listen. The guests are next level. Never heard SOF guys this bada** on any other military podcast and I listen to most of them. Allison asks great questions. I like how you can tell there is solid friendship between her and the SOF guests. She does a great job of getting these true American heroes to open up so we get to know what they're actually like in real life. You won’t find that anywhere else.
