I was a captain in the Green Berets for six years.

我在綠色貝雷帽部隊當了六年上尉。

In 2012, I lost both my legs above the knees when an IED exploded.

2012 年，一枚簡易爆炸裝置爆炸，我失去了膝蓋以上的雙腿。

And this is everything I'm authorized to tell you.

There is no other unit in the world that does what the Green Berets do because Green Berets look at problem sets a little bit differently.

世界上沒有任何一支部隊能像綠色貝雷帽那樣工作，因為綠色貝雷帽處理問題的方式與眾不同。

I can kill person X, but what sort of second and third order effects does that cause?

我可以殺死 X，但這會造成什麼樣的二階和三階效應？

Maybe we should approach them and bring them in and have them work for us.

也許我們應該接近他們，讓他們為我們工作。

也許他們能給我們帶來更大的人。

Nation building is going in and supporting country X.

國家建設就是進入並支持 X 國。

The Green Berets are sent to that country to help become a force multiplier and train up an army, train up a police force, and ensure security in that country.

綠色貝雷帽被派往該國，幫助該國增強軍力，訓練軍隊，訓練警察部隊，確保該國安全。

Because from security, there's a lot of trickle-down effects from that.

因為從安全角度看，這會產生很多涓滴效應。

I'd say one of my biggest personal professional successes, and I'd say my team as well, was our deployment in 2010 to Ruzgan to the Chutu Valley.

2010 年，我們被派往魯茲甘的楚圖山谷，這是我個人以及我的團隊在職業生涯中取得的最大成功之一。

If you look on the map, it's right in between the Helmand and Kandahar province.

從地圖上看，它位於赫爾曼德省和坎大哈省之間。

I was kind of the heartbeat of the Taliban.

The third group team was in the middle of a big clearing operation, and they kind of hit a point of no man's land, and they couldn't break up into that valley any further.

第三小組的隊員們正在進行一次大規模的清理行動，他們遇到了一個無人區，無法再深入山谷。

We picked up from that third group team, and at first we tried to push into the valley.

我們接上了第三組的隊伍，一開始我們試圖向山谷推進。

We as a team did some thinking, and we realized that to be truly successful in Afghanistan at this juncture, we needed to do something different.

我們作為一個團隊做了一些思考，我們意識到，在這個時刻，要想在阿富汗取得真正的成功，我們需要做一些不同的事情。

And we knew that for us to do that properly, we had to be living and engage with the villagers every day.

我們知道，要做好這項工作，我們必須每天與村民生活和接觸。

So the next go around, instead of us trying to do this big clearing operation over a course of three days and just clearing compounds and trying to kill or capture whoever was there and then leaving, what we did was we actually skipped a whole area that we deemed as dangerous, air inserted into one area of a very Northern portion of that village, did a river crossing, and then worked with the villagers beforehand that wanted us there.

是以，在下一次行動中，我們並沒有試圖在三天時間裡開展大規模的清剿行動，只是清理了一些院落，試圖殺死或抓獲那裡的人，然後離開。我們所做的是，我們實際上跳過了我們認為危險的整個區域，空降到該村莊北部的一個區域，進行了一次渡河，然後事先與希望我們去那裡的村民進行了合作。

So we actually picked a compound that was like a goat pen and nobody wanted, and said, hey, we're here, and we're not going anywhere.

所以我們選了一個像羊圈一樣的地方，沒人要，我們就說，嘿，我們就在這裡，哪兒也不去。

We actually picked the compound because we didn't want to look as like we were just taking the nicest compound.

實際上，我們之所以選擇這種化合物，是因為我們不想讓人覺得我們只是在使用最漂亮的化合物。

And so more locals were willing to work with us.

是以，更多的當地人願意與我們合作。

We were able to start to slowly build up a true local security force.

我們得以開始慢慢建立一支真正的地方安全部隊。

The Taliban didn't know what to do because we just totally planted our flag in the middle of a major logistical chain of theirs, and our villagers that were happy to have us there were supporting them and literally fighting shoulder to shoulder with them right next to them, doing long range foot patrols up into the mountains to go conduct ambushes on the Taliban, setting up checkpoints and sitting up on the checkpoints with them for days at a time, which they hadn't experienced before of, hey, these Americans are actually here living with us and eating our food and part of the tribe.

塔利班不知道該怎麼辦，因為我們只是把我們的旗幟插在了他們主要後勤鏈的中間，而我們的村民也很高興有我們在那裡支持他們，實際上是和他們並肩作戰，就在他們旁邊、在山區進行遠距離徒步巡邏，對塔利班進行伏擊，設立檢查站，與他們一起在檢查站一坐就是好幾天，這是他們以前從未經歷過的。

It gained their support and that huge rapport, the rapport building, which is so critical for us as SF guys.

這贏得了他們的支持，建立了巨大的默契，這對我們 SF 的人來說至關重要。

Every night you're eating Afghan chicken or Afghan goat or Afghan sheep and rice.

每天晚上你都在吃阿富汗雞肉、阿富汗山羊肉或阿富汗綿羊肉和米飯。

And if you're lucky, maybe there was okra or some like stewed tomatoes and a giant piece of flatbread.

運氣好的話，還能吃到秋葵、燉西紅柿和一大塊扁麵包。

We were able to start to slowly recruit Afghans that were like, holy, the Americans with beards, they're here.

我們開始慢慢招募阿富汗人，他們說，天哪，留鬍子的美國人，他們來了。

They're not going back to their fire base.

他們不會回到他們的火力基地。

We went in there with maybe the promise of five Afghans.

我們去的時候，可能只答應帶五個阿富汗人。

By the end of that trip, we had a 90 plus man fighting force.

那次旅行結束時，我們有了一支 90 多人的戰鬥部隊。

Well, we hired about 300 villagers to build up their road, leveraging different government agencies,

我們僱用了大約 300 名村民，利用不同的政府機構，為他們修路、

USAID and state and whoever else, and repave this road.

美國國際開發署（USAID）、州政府和其他任何人，重新鋪設這條路。

And once we had security and we repaved the road, well now comes in commerce.

一旦我們有了安全保障，我們重新鋪設了道路，那麼現在就有了商業。

And all of a sudden we see the bazaar open up again in this village where there was nothing.

突然間，我們看到這個什麼都沒有的村子裡又出現了集市。

So it was just interesting to see all the trickle down effects of once you're able to do the kinetic piece of the operation and, you know, kill, capture, and remove whoever off the battlefield that's a bad actor.

是以，一旦你能夠完成行動中的動能部分，你知道，殺死、捕獲並將戰場上的壞人清除出去，你就會看到所有的涓滴效應，這很有意思。

And the bigger piece is that that nation building piece, or for us at the time, you know, is that kind of the village building piece or the province building piece, but it's the same thing.

更重要的是，國家建設，或者說對當時的我們來說，是村莊建設還是省份建設，其實是一回事。

Usually when I'm explaining to people what the Green Berets do and who we are, they have no idea of what we really do, right?

通常，當我向人們解釋綠色貝雷帽是做什麼的，我們是誰時，他們根本不知道我們到底是做什麼的，對嗎？

And to be honest, that's kind of the allure of it.

老實說，這正是它的魅力所在。

You don't necessarily want your adversaries knowing who you are and what you do.

你不一定希望對手知道你是誰，做什麼工作。

The motto of the Green Berets is De Oppresso Libere.

綠色貝雷帽的座右銘是 De Oppresso Libere。

And it's Latin for to free the oppressed.

它在拉丁語中的意思是解放被壓迫者。

It's we're there to help people and you're there to do good for others and the selfless service piece, which I love that aspect of it.

我們在那裡是為了幫助別人，你在那裡是為了為他人做好事，無私的服務，我喜歡這方面的內容。

The Green Berets are known as one of the most elite units in the US military.

眾所周知，綠色貝雷帽是美國軍隊中最精銳的部隊之一。

Office of Strategic Services, which was formed during World War II.

第二次世界大戰期間成立的戰略服務辦公室。

I believe in 1952, the OSS split, and it was the CIA and special forces.

我相信在1952年，OSS分裂了，變成了CIA和特種部隊。

General Donovan, the original commander for the OSS, when people were asking what type of candidate that he was looking for, to fill the role that the OSS was set up to conduct during World War II, he said, I'm looking for Princeton graduates that can win bar fights.

多諾萬將軍是美國國家安全局的原指揮官，當人們問他想找什麼樣的候選人來填補美國國家安全局在二戰期間的職責時，他說："我想找普林斯頓大學的畢業生，他們能在酒吧打架中獲勝。

They just don't fly around in helicopters at night doing cool guy stuff.

他們只是不在晚上開著直升機到處飛，做一些很酷的事情。

I see him in the next morning in meetings, meeting with the mayor, meeting with the police chief.

第二天一早，我就看到他在開會，見市長，見警察局長。

At the same time, half the team's out back training up, you know, the national SWAT team that they work with to go do missions.

與此同時，有一半的隊員在後面訓練，你知道，他們與國家特警隊一起執行任務。

Their intelligence sergeant is constantly walking around and doing meetings with Iraqi soldiers.

他們的情報中士經常四處走動，與伊拉克阿兵哥會面。

Constantly walking around and doing meetings with Iraqis and sync meetings with the rest of the conventional forces.

不停地走來走去，與伊拉克人開會，與其他常規部隊同步開會。

So just seeing that they were kind of their own standalone group, and they were very effective what they did,

是以，我們看到他們是一個獨立的團體，他們的工作非常有效、

I saw that and I was like, I wanna go do that.

我看到後就想，我也要這麼做。

We're sent into regions and parts of the world to either help bring up a country or take down a country.

我們被派往世界各個地區，幫助一個國家崛起或垮臺。

And whenever I'm asked about, you know, what is it that Green Berets do,

每當有人問我 綠色貝雷帽是做什麼的

Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, they're kind of like checkers masters because they're the best at what they do.

陸軍遊騎兵和海豹突擊隊，他們有點像跳棋高手，因為他們最擅長的就是跳棋。

Green Berets are, I think, more of chess masters, and that's not to put one down and say one game is better than the other.

我認為，"綠色貝雷帽 "更像是國際象棋大師，但這並不是說他們誰比誰更厲害。

There's similarities between the two games.

It's just that for us, there's a lot more moves on the board that we're able to do because we work a lot more with government agencies, other nations' governments, other nations' military more closely and combined with them than the other units do.

只是對我們來說，我們能做的事情要多得多，因為我們與政府機構、其他國家的政府、其他國家的軍隊的合作要比其他組織、部門密切得多。

As an officer, there's a lot of gates that you have to pass even before attending selection that enlisted guys don't, one of those being just an on-paper selection process, and I know some of my West Point classmates that applied on paper and then didn't even get invited to attend SFAS, Special Forces Assessment and Selection.

我知道我的一些西點軍校同學在紙上申請後甚至沒有被邀請參加特種部隊評估和選拔（SFAS）。

我於 2008 年 7 月進入 SFAS 學習。

SFAS had always been anywhere from 24 to 29 days, and I think they did that just to keep people guessing, so that way you couldn't game selection.

SFAS 一直都是 24 天到 29 天不等，我認為他們這樣做只是為了讓人們猜測，這樣你就無法進行遊戲選擇。

If you went to selection and I went the next month, you couldn't be able to tell me, hey, the first day you're gonna do this, the second day you're gonna do this to prep for it.

如果你去參加選拔，而我下個月也去，你不可能告訴我，嘿，第一天你要做這個，第二天你要做這個來做準備。

It's not the same course every time, but you're gonna do the same stuff every time.

雖然每次的課程都不一樣，但你每次都要做同樣的事情。

When I went, because the Global War on Terror was hopping at the time, right, in 2008,

我去的時候，正值全球反恐戰爭，對吧，2008 年、

Afghanistan was heavy, they condensed everything to 14 days to try and produce more Green Berets.

阿富汗的任務繁重，他們把所有任務都壓縮到了 14 天，試圖培養出更多的綠色貝雷帽。

When I was starting to train up for SFAS,

We'd spend like an hour walking with your rucksack on of like 70 pounds, but you'd also have maybe a telephone pole on top of that, and you're lined up with somebody else that has that same telephone pole, and you just, you walk miles and miles and miles with this telephone pole on your back, or you guys would take turns carrying a telephone pole and with your rucksack on your back, or maybe you'd show up one day and it would be like a 10-mile run.

我們會花上一個小時的時間，揹著 70 磅重的揹包行走，但你的揹包上可能還有一根電線杆，你會和其他揹著同樣電線杆的人排成一排，你就這樣，揹著電線杆走了一英里又一英里，或者你們輪流揹著電線杆，揹著揹包，或者有一天你出現了，這就像是一次 10 英里的長跑。

Selection is just a mental and physical kick in the nuts.

選拔是對精神和肉體的雙重打擊。

I was probably the most in shape I was ready to go to selection, and by the time I finished selection,

我可能是準備參加選拔時狀態最好的一個，而當我完成選拔時，我的狀態也是最好的、

I remember after finishing the last, the very last portion of selection, which is called the trek, which after everything that you do, you do this anywhere from like 25 to 30-mile road march.

我記得在完成最後一項，也就是選拔的最後一部分，也就是所謂的 "跋涉 "之後，你要進行25到30英里的公路行軍。

You really don't know the exact distance.

You can't have any way to keep track of it with like pace counting, and they just tell you, line up on the cones with the prescribed packing list, which is always around like 80 pounds dry, so then you put the water in there too, so you're probably at like 90 pounds, and then they tell you launch, and they just tell you to keep following the chem lights, and so you're just walking and walking and walking and walking.

他們只會告訴你，按照規定的裝箱單在錐形筒上排隊，裝箱單上的重量總是在 80 磅乾重左右，所以你還要把水也放進去，這樣你的重量可能就會達到 90 磅，然後他們會告訴你發射，他們只會告訴你繼續跟著化學燈走，所以你只能走啊走啊走啊走。

You're so broken physically, so you get like a glimpse at a person's true soul and personality, but I ended up walking eight hours and 20 minutes nonstop basically.

你的身體是如此殘缺，所以你能窺見一個人真正的靈魂和個性，但我最終還是走了 8 小時 20 分鐘，基本上是不停地走。

I think my friend and I said that we stopped for like five minutes to grab some food, but we knew that you couldn't stop too long because you get too comfortable.

我想我和我的朋友說過，我們停了大概五分鐘去吃點東西，但我們知道不能停太久，因為你會覺得太舒服了。

You cross the finish line, and you're on this gravel, and you drop your rucksack, and you're in formation.

你越過終點線，踩在碎石上，放下揹包，排好隊形。

It felt like the bottom of my feet were hit with a baseball bat just over and over and over again because you can't just stand there.

我感覺腳底就像被棒球棒打了一遍又一遍，因為你不能只是站在那裡。

You have to like kind of shift and change feet because your feet are so bruised, and they're so blistered up.

你必須不停地換腳，因為你的腳已經傷痕累累，起了很多水泡。

I remember walking to the showers afterwards, and it was just, it was so painful trying to walk around on your feet after walking for almost nine hours.

我記得事後我走到淋浴間，走了將近九個小時的路，雙腳走來走去，實在是太痛苦了。

It's still, you know, even after losing my legs, it's still one of those like fond memories

即使我失去了雙腿，它仍然是我美好的回憶之一。

I have of my feet and just how painful it was on my feet.

我有我的腳，我的腳是多麼痛苦。

Selection is a huge mind-f**k, and I went through a reverse cycle.

選拔是一個巨大的心靈****，我經歷了一個逆向循環。

Sometimes they just keep you up because they don't want you to allow to get so much sleep for whatever reason.

有時，他們會讓你睡不著，因為不管出於什麼原因，他們不想讓你睡得太多。

要知道，這也是選擇的一部分。
