Francis Villanueva had amazing access to the Light Reaction Regiment (LRR) of the Philippines in writing his book about them called "Tiradores" which means shooters. The LRR is the Philippines version of Delta Force, trained by US Special Forces, they conduct some of the most dangerous and awe inspiring operations that few have ever heard about. The government deliberately attributes their operations to other units while the LRR remains in the shadows, until now. In our interview, Francis talks about how and why the LRR was created and their biggest challenges during full blown urban warfare in Zamboanga and Marawi.Tiradores can be found here and belongs on the shelf of any serious student of Special Ops: https://www.amazon.com/Tiradores-Missions-Philippines-Reaction-Regiment/dp/1727153502Help Dave recover from being attacked on the subway: https://www.gofundme.com/f/david-parke039s-medical-billsSupport the stream on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/m/TheTeamHouse
