Thank you to your son's and your patriotism and sacrifice for the future of America. Even those in training that are willing to put their lives on the line for all of us Americans. So that we ALL may continue to live the lives of freedom like we do and for you two to do that, without either of you even knowing any of us, is extremely commendable, honorable and appreciated by all Americans. Personally from my ❤️ heart I say THANK YOU for your sacrifices and I am sorry for your loss. You are both the literal definition of American heroes!

I'm grateful to watch this episode of your series. I was a Marine Scout-sniper in Vietnam, 1966, a re-tread from an 0351 MOS. This was the fledging chapter of the ongoing book still being written about Marine snipers, since the post-Cold War era. Things in our MOS's have progressed radically in particular since 9-11, now a literal military profession. We think of every generation, every iteration of Marine snipers as a brotherhood. It's funny-ironic, listening to AJ Prosciuti's story, his youth, his path to the Marines. Half of it, polar opposite upbringings, half of it nearly parallel paths. Our Marine stories diverged in the war zones - mine ended too early, after an IED took my legs, my teammate's life, and retired me prematurely from my planned career as a Marine. Changes. So, to AJ, my deepest Marine respect, for all of your hard work, focus, courage, and a living legacy. One helluva sincere Semper Fi, young brother. A role model, whether you like being one, or tend to shy from it. Just remember what you give to your successor Marines in the way of wisdom, and a leg-up on their future combat deployments. Lessons help survival.

I’ve had the honor and privilege of serving with AJ Pasciuti and you will find no one more genuine than him. His passion for politics is not born out of money or fame but out of a realization that if he wants to do the most good for others he has to stand on the same footing as those giving orders or making policy for our troops. His passion to do so is only matched by his love for his family and friends. More importantly, he has overcome insurmountable odds and, like all of us, battled his share of personal challenges. Simply put, “no better friend; no worst enemy” when fighting for what’s RIGHT vs what’s popular.

To be fair, Marines love fluffing up the myth of the Marine Combat Infantryman being a knuckle dragging monster. The cult demands Gunny Hartman and Gunny Highway occupy the same soul, how else can they be convinced they are who they are told they are? Think back on what the Iraqi leadership told their forces about Marines in the lead up to the first gulf war; savage criminals who had to kill a member of their family to be considered etc. to the Iraqi this was abhorent, they were animals, a scourge sent by a wrathful god. To the Marines this was a mark of quality, the fruits of decades (centuries?) of USMC public affairs officiers' hard work. Imagine for a moment that you have been told, repeatedly, that these men are just man sized children, despised by their own forces, the dregs who are only marginally equipped, clothed in rags, fed slops and they are so intellectually incompetent that they enjoy nay prefer eating crayons and run a risk of soiling themselves from boredom. You have been told they are a disorganized rabble who's only purpose is human wave attacks and they will likely wither under return fire, a roiling mass of fear and incompetence. So that's what you've been told because that's what social media and popular culture portrays, they even attest to it themselves. But wait? What's that sound? Is that helicopters? Landing craft? Why can you no longer communicate with your leading forces... where do they keep coming from and why do their forces keep swarming to support them when they engage your "combat elite"? Welcome to today! If the Army is the anvil and the Air Force the fire, the Marines are surely the hammer and like any hammer, it appears a dull dumb lump of metal until weilded with craft and skill.

This man's life brings near-tears, and most of your interviews do come close. I tried to be a medic or corpsman but was rejected. Hunting, tracking, armorer in "small arms," and more, with advanced medical skills (been shot once, knifed once) of valuable provable skills were ignored. I have those near-tears in so many of your interviews because I cannot make them disappear.

In the Marines you can’t rush the process. You have to grind through and learn the job of infantry skills; land nav, weapons skills, tactics, call for fire, first aid skills, etc,etc,etc. while this young man was hungry and eager he wasn’t ready. But, after time and experience, which you can’t rush, he became outstanding. Maybe the First Sargent was right.

Nope its how these guys are across all special forces across the board, they all feel like theyre struggling and barely making it, even saying to thereself there last but in reality they all feel the same and they are the very best of the best, he felt like he was the worst but graduated top of everything, thats the kind of men these guys are, they are WINNERS that dont congratulate themself and never pat thereself on their back only everyone around them. Its a crazy morality of life, one word to describe these men, exeptional

Watsonville....damn lol at least close enough to escape to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz then not now, was much different. In a good way. Hardcore, left leaning, crazy liberal, residents.

Not A US Marine (bowing to your accomplishment in respect), but Army Artilleryman (FDC), with the 3rd highest GT test score in my unit... I was also chosen, as a Spec4, by our C/O to be a Company Clerk (thought nothing about my being from N CS Central Valley, until now), and any other added Garisson positions (NBC Training asst, R&U Officer, and the Advance Party asst to the X/O) Hats off for entering at that rank... The gave me E2 for being HS Grad, and PFC in my 10th month, SP4 a little over 2.5 years in. Thank You for your Service, Sir ‼️💯‼️💯‼️
