What motivated Andrew Hudson to join the military?
Hi guys, welcome back to Two Worlds Clyde Podcast. On today's episode, we have ex-SAS operator, Andrew Hudson, aka Horse. I hope you guys enjoy. No pressure at all. But yeah, Andrew Hudson, aka Horse, ex-Special Forces SAS soldier. Welcome to Two Worlds Clyde Podcast.
How are you going? Yeah, mate. Slightly nervous. This is a big one for me. Yeah. It's been a big couple of weeks, you know, with funerals and whatnot. And I've actually been up to Cairns on a dining-in night to Battle of Porton commemoration. It's a little unknown battle that my grandfather won a military cross at. There you go. Yeah, now I'm back down in Adelaide. So I've been all over the place. And Singleton last week, we were at the School of Infantry with Bravery and Betrayal.
I remember those days back at Singo. I went through in 08, 09. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. When did you go through? 93. 93.
What insights does Andrew Hudson share about his deployments to Afghanistan?
I'm showing my age now. I was three years old then. Yeah. How is Singo going, speaking about that? Is it...
Look, it's the next regiment guy in charge, the CO there, and the place is harming. I chatted to a few of the young fellas out there. They obviously came to the screening, and I'm actually full of hope. We think the new generation today, everyone's saying they're softer and softer, and times have changed. But the young fellas that I saw there, young and tough and really enjoying getting after it. And some of them said that they've surprised themselves, has taken them out of their comfort zone. They've achieved something that they never, that they really in hindsight thought that they may not have been able to do. And learning to work as a team and relying on each other is really one of the big takeaways that I got from them.
So it's really reassuring, the young generation coming through. But obviously we have bravery in betrayal. And so we saw what they did to the Vietnam vets. We still joined up. Now it's happened to us. These guys are still joining up. So I think as a society, we need to really get behind them and ensure that this doesn't happen to them again.
Yeah. Speaking about the young generation, I think there was a time where we were breeding potentially weaker, younger men in our society. But I honestly think we're past that. The amount of young males that come up to me in public, like what happened yesterday, I was grabbing some ice cream with my wife um on a sunday afternoon just with our little daughter and a group of young men came up to me and i'm telling you it's the younger males are switched on and they are switched on to the happening in our society at the moment and that is the main demographic of people that come up to me and say thank you for your voice and i reckon the younger generation this this younger generation from say 15 to 23 or 4 i reckon they're switched on to all the stuff that's happening at the moment
How did the Bravery & Betrayal documentary impact the veteran community?
Which is good.
That's been my experience. So touring Bravery and Betrayal last year, you get to meet a lot of people and these young people are much more wide awake and aware of what's going on in the world than we ever were. And I think it's access to information certainly helps that. And yeah, they're going in with their eyes wide open. I think you're much wiser than I was and sometimes am today too.
Yeah. And they're pushing back against these narratives which are being pushed down onto them. There's a whole bunch of genders and shit like that. It's all just bullshit. But yeah, these younger, I'm telling you, the younger generation, I reckon it gives me grave hope, a lot of hope for the future to know the younger generation really switched on and they're listening to people like me, which is good. 100%. I want to jump on to your stuff now. The audience hasn't really got a background on who you are because you aren't a massive personality on social media. So just give a brief background on your history, maybe when you joined, when you went through to the SAS and your deployments.
Yes. As I already mentioned, my grandfather is a bit of a war hero and I was like a little shadow growing up for him and all I ever wanted to do was join the military.
