The Team House

Commandant Kevin McDonald served 7 years with Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil (FCA) and 33 years with the Permanent Defence Forces. He discusses his military career, focusing on his extensive service overseas. Most of his interview relates to his service in Lebanon and he speaks about the 2006 Lebanon War when he was serving with Observer Group Lebanon (OGL). He speaks about the deaths of some of his United Nations Military Observer colleagues at an OGL patrol base at El Khiam during that war.Grab Mack's book here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Less-Ordinary-Kevin-Donald/dp/1914596307/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XKTIGVJZ886B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.laHCVdJFrHd1NTaBIOdb8g.V-F0eXmZCahCasWyKs_L5b3csXdb0uDFmqPaGoIliXU&dib_tag=se&keywords=9781914596308&qid=1745936886&sprefix=9781914596308%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------New merch, patches, and stickers! ⬇️https://theteamhouse-shop.fourthwall.comSupport the show here:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse___________________________________________________Subscribe to the new EYES ON podcast here:⬇️https://www.youtube.com/@EyesOnGeopoliticsPod/featured—————————————————————-Today's Sponsors:GhostBed⬇️https://www.ghostbed.com/houseFOR 10% off! ___________________________________Jack Murphy's new book "We Defy: The Lost Chapters of Special Forces History" ⬇️https://www.amazon.com/We-Defy-Chapters-Special-History-ebook/dp/B0DCGC1N1N/——————————————————————To help support the show and for all bonus content including:https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse-AD FREE AUDIO-AD FREE VIDEO-Access to ALL bonus segments with our guestsSubscribe to our Patreon! ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseOr make a one time donation at: ⬇️https://ko-fi.com/theteamhouseSocial Media: ⬇️The Team House Instagram:https://instagram.com/the.team.house?utm_medium=copy_linkThe Team House Twitter:https://twitter.com/TheTeamHousePodJack’s Instagram:https://instagram.com/jackmcmurph?utm_medium=copy_linkJack’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/jackmurphyrgr?s=21Dave’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/dave_parke?s=21Team House Discord: ⬇️https://discord.gg/wHFHYM6SubReddit: ⬇️https://www.reddit.com/r/TheTeamHouse/Jack Murphy's memoir "Murphy's Law" can be found here:⬇️ https://www.amazon.com/Murphys-Law-Journey-Investigative-Journalist/dp/1501191241The Team Room Reading Room (Amazon Affiliate links):⬇️ https://jackmurphywrites.com/the-team-room-reading-room/Intro music by https://www.youtube.com/user/RemixSample"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"Want to sponsor the show?Email: ⬇️theteamhousepodcast@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.

That effort spanned five years and included the declassification of over 30,000 pages of documents and several hundred interviews in addition to having access to a similar sized set of documents and interviews that had not yet been released. The project’s culmination resulted in the publication of the 1,500-page two-volume set, The U.S. Army in the Iraq War.https://www.amazon.com/Training-Victory-Advisory-Operations-Afghanistan/dp/B0DQ1LMSCK/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wJVAKeIvE68lr8Yj4pztV0s_LiOWOPbvXbmZH8cm4cwXsoYt23Lc3Nd0zJEB_PBp1b7jHHi1vLtlGWT2XAii9w.T-AwlHVcvWYSvntI_hf0W_UwDfjwScXpzRHywMepd1k&dib_tag=se&qid=1745348538&refinements=p_27%3AFrank+Sobchak&s=books&sr=1-1GhostBed⬇️https://www.ghostbed.com/houseFOR 50% OFF!!!LUCY⬇️https://lucy.co/HOUSEUse the code "House" for 20% off your first order!The Perfect Jean ⬇️http://theperfectjean.nyc/HOUSE15for 15% off!!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
