IIRC, Michael Yon is a former Green Beret.

Wear boots. Don’t bring anything valuable or that you’d really hate to lose. Good advice.

Oh, thanks! I didn't know that. And sure enough, it's true: https://michaelyon-online.com/About-Michael-Yon/.

I've been following him since the 2nd Iraq war. Very impressive guy.

I love it when I see flip flops, earth shoes, backpacks, blm signs, black hoodies, blood, puke etc all over the ground.😎

Wear boots.

I always used to wear boots whenever I flew. You have plenty to worry about in a plane crash without having to look for your flip-flops.

“Werewolves come out after 10PM.”

My favorite adage: Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to (defend against/)kill everyone you meet.

That is correct. He was in the Special Forces (Green Beret).

Anything other besides steel-toed boots are suicide shoes

I wasnt special forces and Ive been telling people that for years even around here. Males wearing slipfloptongsandals arent men and rightly deserve derision for not being prepared to do a mans job when the situation demands it.

I started reading Yon's stuff from Iraq and then saw he was embedded with a buddy's Ranger unit in Mosul.

Some really intense stuff.
