Taylor Cavanaugh's life is a rollercoaster of highs and lows that would put most action movies to shame. This San Diego kid dreamed of becoming a Navy SEAL from age seven, but his path was far from straightforward. Despite multiple arrests, fights with police, and faced several years in prison!
Taylor somehow made it into the elite SEALs. But the drama didn't stop there. After getting kicked out for steroid use, he hit rock bottom, living in his car. In a twist no one saw coming, Taylor then became the first - and so far only - former Navy SEAL to enlist in the French Foreign Legion.
This week's Urban Valor episode pulls no punches, diving into Taylor's wild ride from troublemaker to elite ...

    women being women. move on like it’s nothing. i don’t care what anyone says. if i’m loyal to someone that’s for life. i’d probably die or self delete if i ever married and she passed. either self delete or heart break syndrome. idk how women just move on. men get stuck in pain whether it be war, relationships, etc. not giving hate on that woman just i get the pain you feel from that sight.

    Impressive. The Seal recruiters came to us in boot camp in San Diego and I really wanted to test myself but I wore glasses at the time and there was nothing like the available corrective eye surgeries they have today back then so I didn't want to waste everyone's time. Even if I had been able to get through the extremely demanding physical side there was no way I'd put my teammates in that kind of danger because if I lost my glasses and couldn't see well enough, it could cost me or some or even all of my teammates' lives. Besides, no one in charge would have been stupid enough to let me try anyway so I went the technical side in Submarines instead.

    This title does an extreme disservice to this man. “…leaves him DEVASTATED” is so tacky, frustrating, and disrespectful. The title is the type I would see on a gaming video or some product review, not on a video of a veteran describing their own traumatic experience. These stories need to be held and presented as something with weight and importance, which this title does not do at all. Shame on this channel.

    There will always be war, it is what mankind always does, always finds justification for doing. Sometimes there is no alternative, but not every time, obviously. I feel you, man. I returned from Vietnam in '69, as both a cavalry combat medic and the commander of a M113 ACAV riding a Ma Deuce. I still haven't figured it out.
