Delta Force and CIA Operator Unpacks The Invisible Wounds After 36 Years Combatting Terrorism



Searching for Bob “Ninja” Poras on Google won’t yield much, but you might be lucky enough to find one image. Bob spent decades in the shadows with the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta (1st SFOD-D), also known as Delta Force, Combat Applications Group (CAG), and the CIA. He had a 36-year career as a Federal Government Supervisory Special Agent, U.S. Army Infantryman, and Special Forces Soldier, specializing in combat operations, personnel protection, supervising/leading special mission teams, firearms training, military/paramilitary training, and coaching. Recently, Bob has started a tactics company, teaching a variety of training based on his real-world experiences at the highest level. He emphasizes the importance of mindset, something we often forget. After a life at war, Bob has had to confront the many invisible wounds that are deep within him. We don’t always realize the toll it has taken on us until we hang it up, and then we become aware of the damage and everything creeps back in. These wounds are not visible, but they can be felt in conversations, dreams, nightmares, chronic headaches, tendinitis, and other internal injuries that cannot be described. They also carry the loss of their brothers and sisters and try to make sense of the common question: why? Bob reflects on Operation Just Cause, the Benghazi Attacks, the Khost Bombing, and the Tripoli CIA evacuation, among others. In Episode 045 of the Shawn Ryan Show, you can see similarities to the Kyle Morgan episode, where there is distant memory of the fine details and an attempt to unpack what has been pushed away. The Shawn Ryan Show gives you a reality check and a glimpse of what war does to the human body. Our next guest on the Shawn Ryan Show is Bob “Ninja” Poras.

  1. Hey Shawn, have you ever had a AF PJ on the show I’ve looked and haven’t seen it on the channel, I think it would make for a really cool interview to get an inside look on how they operate. I really enjoy the work though keep putting out amazing interviews man!

  2. I got them invisible wounds too. Mostly severe organ damage. Government thinks it's totally fine to let cartel and mob drug and rape people to death while denying them medical care.

  3. I’ll be honest I listen to the podcasts during my cardio (hikes) and daily commute then I watch (listen)them on my computer at work via YouTube! You have some of the best guests and you ask the right questions!! Love the way you ask something and let the guest speak! DJ, McHooya, Blackwater (both), the Apache CWO, the unafraid SEAL and Mike dang Glover are my favorites this far! Looking forward to this one!

  4. Hey Shawn you really do have one of the best shows out there,I wish for you great success in all your endeavors. I was just watching the preview to your Ninja interview,and seeing that guy talking about killing people and using terms like InshaAllah when he talks about killing people is sickening and disgraceful. I’m a Muslim and these terrorists that (claim) to be following Islam are enemies to all of us. In Islam it’s forbidden to kill Innocent people,or ourselves. even in war,Islamicly you’re not suppose to even harm trees,animals,or infrastructure and you should always Incline towards peace. These terrorists are brainwashed and are far from being Islamic. Any how you’re doing a great job with your show, keep it going! Take care brother
