1:43 Jackal and Osama bin Laden. Hold on.
1:45 That last one sounded familiar. Who was
1:49 that again? Osama bin Laden.
1:51 You've seen this guy. Have you ever seen
1:53 the picture of the old man holding up an
1:55 integrally suppressed MP5 with his old
1:59 man glasses smiling? It's like a meme.
2:03 That's That's Billy and he's 72 years
2:05 old. And in that picture, he was
2:07 actively hunting Osama bin Laden while
2:09 he was in his 70s in Afghanistan. I I'm
2:10 going to I'm going to look him up
2:13 because I want to I think I know you're
2:16 talking about his name is Billy, right?
2:20 Yep. W A U G H. I just, you know, this
2:22 is all I could think of while you were
2:24 listing like all the the accolades of
2:26 where he's been, all the plane cr or
2:28 like crashes, the eight purple hearts
2:29 and all that [ __ ] And like all that was
2:30 going through my head was the I don't
2:31 know if it was the army or or Pete
2:33 Hegath the new thing that they're
2:35 pushing. It's like being strong makes
2:38 you harder to kill. Have you seen that?
2:41 Apparently. Yeah.
2:42 People hard to kill. I've seen the photo
2:45 of him with the uh with the MP5. It
2:47 doesn't have a magazine in it.
2:50 Have you seen the picture of the Navy
2:53 Seal jumping out of an airplane with a
2:57 W54 nuclear warhead strapped to him? No.
3:00 He was also part of that during the
3:03 60s. So he literally was like one of the
3:05 first special forces dudes ever before
3:07 they were called a Green Beret. And in
3:09 the 1960s when they were doing all their
3:11 crazy nuclear weapons [ __ ] they're
3:14 like, you know, would be cool if instead
3:16 of, you know, having to haul a big
3:17 artillery piece or a jeep with a big
3:20 bazooka, what if we just like trained a
3:22 guy that could jump out of a plane with
3:24 a nuclear warhead strapped to him and he
3:26 could sneak it behind enemy lines and
3:28 put it in the right spot and [ __ ]
3:30 run. They were called green light teams
3:33 and he was one of them. He led an entire
3:35 green light team. I I've got an old
3:38 photo of him in in the pickle suit, like
3:40 the green utes. Yeah. And he's got like
3:43 it looks like master sergeant rank on or
3:44 it's I think it might be E7 sergeant
3:48 first class rank on. He's got the green
3:51 beret and it says the giant killer.
3:54 Special forces legend Billy B. How did
3:56 he How did he get the nickname the giant
3:58 killer? I don't know that that's
4:00 correct. The giant killer is a different
4:02 guy. There there's a lot of articles
4:04 that just bring up big heroes. There's
4:06 another guy that was like [ __ ] 411
4:08 that was an SF guy that was called the
4:10 giant killer. I forget his [ __ ] name
4:13 right now, but they always do stories
4:14 where they just like compile them
4:16 together so the nicknames get mixed up.
4:18 He's the godfather of the green berets
4:21 is his nickname. I got trained by So my
4:23 my first tour when civil affairs still
4:25 fell fell under SOCOM. It's all all the
4:28 all civil affairs and SCOPS reserve
4:30 active component. It all fell under
4:32 SOCOM and it was awesome. It was a great
4:35 time. So my first tour was a SOCOM tour
4:38 and we're at Bragg were mobing and we're
4:40 getting firearms training by a bunch of
4:42 Green Berets and one of the guys that
4:46 trained us uh and I still use this grip
4:48 uh for my M4 because it's phenomenal if
4:49 you're doing you know if you're if
4:51 you're at the range you're doing long
4:53 distance shooting.
4:58 Um, he was like 5 foot flat and he had
5:01 baby fingers. I'm talking like he was
5:04 just barely enough above dwarfism to get
5:07 in. And he was a green beret. And his
5:09 hands were so small that he would take
5:12 his three fingers on the uh pistol grip
5:16 of the AR-15 and he would stack them. So
5:18 then they'd be like a claw almost and be
5:21 like hugging the grip and the m and the
5:23 uh trigger guard and then you would put
5:26 your whole [ __ ] finger in that uh um
5:27 the trigger well and you would just
5:29 squeeze your hand a little bit and dude
5:31 it like it like your grip was tight.
5:33 Tucked it into your shoulder like
5:35 nothing was [ __ ] your trigger squeeze
5:37 wasn't flapping anything backing around
5:38 with that. It was awesome. And I wonder
5:41 if he was one of the OG guys that you
5:43 just you don't know who he is until you
5:44 hear about him.
5:46 God, what was that guy's name? I
5:47 couldn't remember this guy's name if you
5:50 [ __ ] shot it through my brain, but I
5:54 just remember he was literally almost a
5:56 dwarf and he was an SF guy with the
5:58 tiniest strange baby hands I've ever
6:01 seen. Cuz there's a [ __ ] uh his
6:04 name's Richard Flity is the giant
6:06 killer. And the book about him is
6:08 written by a police officer because the
6:11 cop and I think it was in New York. The
6:14 cop ended up like knowing this friendly
6:16 homeless guy that was [ __ ] tiny. He
6:20 was 4 foot n and he would, you know, the
6:22 dude seemed completely altogether. And
6:24 then one day he like tells this cop
6:26 buddy that like, "Hey, I was a elite
6:28 [ __ ] tier one operator for x amount
6:30 of years, blah blah blah blah." And the
6:31 dude's like, "Yeah, okay, right, blah
6:33 blah blah." And the cop actually goes
6:35 and like [ __ ] googles it and he's
6:39 like, "Holy [ __ ] that's real." And like
6:42 that's how the book came about. That's
6:43 kind of like what made him How do you
6:45 add up a homeless guy that's like a
6:46 special forces cat? Like you can't put
6:48 your training together and be like, let
6:50 me go work at McDonald's so I can, you
6:52 know, get an apartment.
6:57 I mean, Billy Wah uh was in Vietnam the
7:00 entire time. He showed up in Laos in
7:04 1961 and he didn't leave Laos, Cambodia,
7:08 Vietnam era until the war was over. Mhm.
7:10 Like he didn't set foot in America until
7:12 he got sent back to Walter Reed when he
7:13 got all [ __ ] up. So like he was in
7:16 country for like six years straight. So
7:17 like I think some of these dudes just
7:21 get so used to being so uncomfortable
7:22 and just living these weird conditions
7:24 that they're just like, "Yeah, [ __ ] it."
7:26 Well, I mean, I I was I was hearing
7:28 about something like that might kind of
7:31 give some validity to that and it was a
7:33 it was a mental health provider I was
7:35 talking to and it's like people in the
7:36 military in general, obviously they
7:38 experience it on such a high level
7:41 compared to like just me. Um, but the
7:43 thing is that your your body and your
7:45 mind get so used to constantly getting
7:48 bombarded by adrenaline that like when
7:50 nothing's happening, you immediately
7:53 panic just because your body is so used
7:55 to just being cranked up to 11 all the time.
