James Yeager

[SoonerP226]

Today's episode of Jack Carr's Danger Close podcast is about Yeager. I haven't listened to it yet, so I can't tell you what he says (though from what he said on a previous episode, IIRC, he liked Yeager).



ETA: Here's the video's description from YouTube:

Note: This episode of Danger Close originally ran in October 2021. James Yeager passed away on September 1, 2022. This is a tribute to his life and legacy. As James would always close out his videos: “This is James Yeager for Tactical Response reminding you that your responsibility to be ready for the fight, never ends.”

James Yeager was a police officer, private security contractor, and founder and CEO of the firearm and tactical training company Tactical Response. He had been a firearms trainer since 1994 and founded Tactical Response in 1996 on the principle of “Student First – Instructor Second.”

Yeager’s law enforcement experience included serving as an undercover drug enforcement officer, SWAT team leader, K-9 handler, and as Chief of the Big Sandy Police Department in Tennessee.

In 2004 and 2005, he worked as a private security contractor in Iraq, responsible for the protection of eight Iraqi Election Commissioners. On April 20, 2005, his PSD was caught in an ambush on Route Irish between the Green Zone and Baghdad International Airport. Three members of his team were killed. James discusses this in detail during the conversation.

How much does a million dollars in $100 bills weigh and how did James Yeager know?
