I started watching Daniel's show and listening to his Intel report a year or so ago. I find his topics well researched and reported on neutrally. I enjoy spending my mornings listening to the bigger wave tops of issues taking place around the world. HM Intelligence provides that to me. I reached out to Daniel, and he has been more than willing to answer all my questions and share his business with the audience. From his time in the New Zealand Army to corporate intelligence work, he provides great down-to-earth insight.

https://www.amazon.com/Mailman-Went-UA-Vietnam-Memoir/dp/1479168653 - copy and paste to get the book.David Mulldune was a Weapons Company Marine in 1968 in Vietnam. His very first big mission was the bloody Operation Allen Brook. He operated in the Liberty Bridge area and operated in and out of Go Noi Island as well. David talks about the difficulties of Vietnam, including torturing enemy combatants and hanging on the very edge. So far out on the edge that morals and ethics disappeared altogether. There is some talk of Bush Marines vs. Bush Marines in 1968, some unreal realizations about self, about drugs, about prostitution, and grunt life. He talks about the dark thoughts and the numbness that came over him the longer he was there. David was covered with Agent Orange on more than one occasion and now has Stage 4 cancer as a consequence. He is told he has 12 months or less and talks about having peace. He has peace and has turned his life over to God. I asked him if he was ready for the next life. His answer will touch your heart.
