How did Drago's early life in Poland shape him?

00:00 - 00:22 Thomas 'Drago' Dzieran

When our fifth is open on the Humvees, oh, that was like, whole hell broke loose. I could shoot the guy, but he was not armed. As I'm working with the guy, the car comes in. Hey, Drago, you need to stop the Grom guy. Grom element is moving on the backyard, and there are three guys in ambush lanes. I'm going to knock his front teeth out. I'm going to make a necklace out of it.

So actually, I woke up to him. I very carefully lift his upper lip and just drove his two front teeth in, just pulled them out.

00:00 - 00:00 Shawn Ryan

No? Killing never affected you? Drago, welcome to the show.

00:00 - 00:00 Thomas 'Drago' Dzieran

Thank you for the invitation. It's an honor to be here, brother.

00:00 - 00:00 Shawn Ryan

It's an honor to have you. So we have a ton of mutual friends, and I've heard about you since I was in the SEAL teams, and you just have a phenomenal reputation, and I can't believe we have not crossed paths until today.

00:00 - 00:00 Thomas 'Drago' Dzieran

Well, you know, I was watching you and I watch your channel. I'm subscribed to your channel, but I never thought, you know, some small guy, a little guy like me will show up over here because, you know, the guests that you have, there's like world-class leaders, world-class people. So I never even thought about it. And here I am. So I guess miracles happen. Thank you, brother, for invitation.

00:00 - 00:00 Shawn Ryan

I would disagree with you. You're definitely not a small guy.
