This week’s Urban Valor episode features Navy SEAL veteran, Mike O’Dowd. Mike was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He was inspired to be a Navy SEAL after watching a documentary on the Discovery channel about them. When the 9/11 attack occurred, Mike felt an even greater calling to go fight for America and enlisted into the Navy to become a Navy SEAL.

In this episode, he talks about his combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan assigned to SEAL Team 7, doing covert operations to capture targets while they slept, and working with locals who were police allies by day and enemy by night. Mike leaves us with the hardship of lost brothers and the impact transitioning back into the civilian world had on his mental health.

    Hearing somebody speak English in the middle of the night in Iraq had to be the scariest shit
  • @robiny4457
    The good old military saying .. “ I got volunteered” … lol
  • @BreechBangClear
    Anyway we had the wrong house but I’m sure that dude was fine
  • @danbrown6941
    Now he doesnt sleep and clears his house 5 times
  • @slipknot0452
    Dude probably never expected to woke up with a big black suppressor in his mouth 🤣
  • @stevemill8959
    Imagine how many guys set up people that were innocent just because they wanted money and didn’t like the person
  • @mindlessmonk3322
    This doesn't sound like a real soldier, rather a child. I was in Iraq. Never thought I would hear somebody brag about snatching people out of their bed at night.
  • @hansblitz7770
    The locals would use the military as a way to settle personal vendettas or go after people who owed them money. You got used as a loan shark by an Iraqi car dealership.
  • @anokgamer396
    Imagine an Iraqi doing this to you in the name of protecting Iraq
  • @alkaline3mc
    I don’t know if “capturing people in their beds” makes you sound as cool as you think it does (also former 3rd ranger battalion ranger so I’m not talking out my ass here)
  • @MyBoomStick1
    Wow! Can he hear himself speak? It’s kinda like watching those serial killers being interviewed while in prison.
  • @ColinMor-fj3qc
    this is exactly the type of dude you wanna stay away from while you are in
  • @defions4208
    He wouldn’t be a true SEAL without telling everyone what he did, just paint him up with others who want a book deal.
  • @coomodus2592
    Plot twist. Dude was innocent and we just pissed off an entire family, creating how many more enemy?
  • @alst4817
    Jesus that is the most depressing shit I’ve heard in a while.. dude just described himself like the SS, and was pretty happy about it
  • @LandoverMD25
    He failed to mention they were abducting innocent civilians in iraq not just “bad guys”
  • @Nickster316
    "Like it's a game" "Sneaking out" "at night" "capturing them in their beds" ..."Are we the baddies..."
