Rickson Gracie is a legend.

Thou shalt do nothing I will not do first, and thus will you be created Warriors in my deadly image.

Thank you sir

The Queen of Battle

It was a rambling, nonsensical speech, without even the element of propaganda, because it was too late for that. Hitler's demise was not far off.

Tommy is a wrestler. We never quit.

Remember this when you hear how our government rounded up Japanese-American civilians and gerded them into detention camps. Yes, prejudice against Asians existed prior to detention, but the atrocities reported from Nanking so horrified and infuriated FDR's government that i promise it made the decision about derention easier. When the war ended, there was even discussion about deporting all the detainees. It was a vicious, crazy time.

Rickson v Marcelo no gi? Rickson v Fedor MMA?

They hadn't any other choice, Japanese where sadistic towards prisoners

11b currahee door kicker pround grunt.... we all worked as a team those there will only know.... 2004-2005

so can we excuse the nazis because following orders?

Major Zembiec deserves to have his story told.

Yep. 2nd ID, Oef 2012 southern Panjwai. We made our own rules!

Once I was employed as a research director of a chemical company where I was responsible for about four dozen chemists/technicians. A week or so after I started, I examined a huge chemical stock room that had not been cleaned in ten years. Imagine the Augean stables. A real mess. I could have told one of my subordinates to clean up the room. However, the weekend of the Fourth of July, with Monday off. I put on a Tyvek suit, rubber gloves and respirator and spent three full sweaty days cleaning and bringing order to the room. On Tuesday when they returned to the labs the chemists were shocked when they saw what I had done in three days. As spoken by Dick Winters, I showed each of my subordinates that there was no job I would give them I would not do myself. Btw got fired because I backed up a chemist who was promised a raise in my presence by the president and when the guy reneged, I called him out on it. And that MF was Sobel’s twin who led by intimidation.

Big thanks to our veterans. We will never understand your sacrifice but will try our best to honor it.

Back to the book was killing me 😂

Thank you so much. I lived in Nanjing, and my Chinese relatives are there and also in Beijing (been there this year as well twice)- I lived in Guangzhou/Shenzhen for a decade. I taught in 6 universities and also collected many testimonies of these atrocities over the years (as well as lived in Japan three times first in 1993 [Study Japanese in college before going]). JC-the work you have done is very important, as it helped me understand what really happened to her. From 1999 to 2003, In China, I searched and viewed many videos and pictures then and showed them to adult students and we all cried... (most adults already knew-like Iris had said.. the Chinese know- -[ and my experience in Japan is as she stated... they know nothing "0" [most]). that even with AI today, those images are not found in US-I cannot find on any US websites. I did find a few more, believe it or not, in Japanese. JC Nuggets, you are really GREAT... I was in tears... you are awesome...do the very best job. I hope someday, besides the J. Magee clips or others, they find the clips John Rabi, the good man, took back to Berlin; we only have his diary even though it is lengthy. Most people don't realize the massive flood in 1931 or 38 as everyone was heading to the rear... (mostly to Chongqing)-millions. I love the recent new finds of history, as they find new graves of the massacred, diaries, and individual testimonies (both in Europe and China), and or unexploded ordnance in Europe or Chiang-Kai-seeks diary. I have recently been reading "To the Rear" in Chinese about the mass migration out of cities .. to the west or southwest..(I also lived in Israel for 12 years during two wars.. (the first in 1991). I have been to the Jewish holocaust moment in Shanghai (Great) and the Nanjing Museum in Nanjing (Great), and I have heard many personal Chinese testimonies from those who are in their late nineties (these were not rehearsed, village people only sharing the truth). I don't know what to do with Holocaust deniers. The persecution of Jews since AD 1096 started of the pogroms has been more than one can count (Even M. Luther loved the Judensau Art on dozens of Churches). The Holocaust was nothing too new...Historian Richard Frank, speaking of the times at the Nations WWI Museum, said... History is fundamentally wrong starting World War Two (1941) Sept 1 1939. Facts show Manchuria was bombed, many were beheaded, and even women were raped... then in 1932, into Shanghai south.. then the unrelenting bombing of the cities of Nanjing, Shanghai (1937 forward), and even bombing daily in Chongqing).. far west. I recommend Richard Franks new book.. "Tower of Skulls." Susannah Heschel also has some awesome books. (My grandfather helped build the P-40/47 flying tigers used in Kumming before WW2). Shalom (One last thing.. Iris Chang husbands diary has a very long list of very many herbs, odd vitamins types of supplements that a doctor had mentioned to her.. could cause mental illness.. all kinds of herbs and names I had never heard of.. but she must have been really into that as, well... THANK YOU BRO!!

That's not why they banned leg takedowns

I needed to hear this. Appreciate it. Ty

3/7 No Shit! Ramadi X2

The regular infantry not only holds ground, they take it too.

Finding the balance a struggle I’ve had indefinitely

Gotta be some of the most brutal shit I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m at a loss for words. Truly nothing can compare to this beside satan himself.

I love what he says

It was completely cultural. They were an ultra masculine martial society who punished surrender with death even on their own soldiers. They looked at the chinese and koreans and citizens of other asian nations as subhuman cowards. The government was arrogant and insane in those days, and I'd argue that they still are since they have always denied killing millions of Chinese back then

Here’s the thing. Watch the movie Restrepo and the sequel korengal and you’ll think regular infantry 11b and 11c are super badass dudes….just because it’s not spec ops doesn’t mean they are lesser. Those are real warriors!

No veins

11B as well. I love hearing this from Jocko. It means so much honestly. He also called one of our sister units out too from PA. LETS GO!

The japan warcrimes must be acknowledged.... The war crimes where brutal such that nazi's helped the victims

The body adapts over time. Always. Great thoughts by Echo

Hopefully, I'll be there in the winter this year.

Thank you sir I’m a upcoming army infantry soldier

i was 11B in Iraq in 03-04 and 08-09. we do 13 months straight. had zero leave. our job was to walk around and draw fire, then delete the threat. It's way more dangerous than just hitting a target quick and back on base in a half hour. we lived off base. and took many casualties. beyond different that SOF guys. looking back. I think I need my head examined for the things i did.

Revisionist history is a easy thing to do from your LaZy boy or in front of a comp ! I don't know how those men in all the wars did what they did and still do ! I am not built of that kind of metal ! They will always have my never ending Respect and admiration and GRATITUDE !

Regular forces win wars. Special forces aid in that ability for the regular forces to win wars. Terrorism and hostage rescue is obviously alot of what sf do. But most is reconnaissance, taking down critical infrastructure, sabatage etc behind the lines. Before the regs can do their thing.

I started my career as a Medic with the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea. Then went Airborne and deployed to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne Division. Then I went to grad school and became a Medical Officer with a SF Group. God loves The Infantry, and so do I. The Infantry IS the Army, and as far as I see it, I was there to keep my Infantryman alive and well, and I am honored to have been in the position to do it. Even though I eventually moved into the Special Operations world, I never lost my respect for The Infantryman.

This shit made me tear up every i hear this 🥲

Currahee brother ♠️

OH BOY!!! Another squid...and of course he knows everything. Especially how to commit murder. Man those Navy SEAL's are stone cold killers...LAUGH.

I served in a supply role in an infantry company. What i learned is that grunts and scouts have a brotherhood and code of honor that i didnt see "as much" in other MOS. They were also pretty chill and big on mentoring people. If grunts like you they will try to get you to be a grunt.

If anyone here has gone through BUDs or anything like that is heavy lifting a good part of my prep routine? I'm 17 and I'm not super strong or big but I'm decent at running and swimming. I've been consistently training heavy with compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench press and all that stuff plus eating in a calorie surplus. It's going pretty well, but I'm wondering if I need to work more on putting weight and strength on right now and worry less about calisthenics and cardio later or just work on calisthenics and cardio now instead. I've got at least two years before I would enlist and go to BUDS.

I highly admire spec ops. I went to selection and saw the kind of people who get selected for it. But I've always felt the true merit of the infantry is that we don't get years of training. We get four months to the front. And we are in the exact same area's as Spec ops (minus black ops). Everyone does their part. WW2 and the Vietnam era were the infantry's time to shine because many of the Elite units were either in their infancy (OSS) or simply not well known. Post 911, spec ops became the center of attention.

Infantry get less specialized training, older gear,less pay..My Heroes, The Queen of battle,doing so much with so little for so long...

“You keep focusing on everyone else.. I’ll keep working!” YES! You will lose and I will win!

From the outside Civilians only look at SF and SOF like Navy Seals, Green Berets, Rangers. They dont realize that being an Infantry Unit is still extremely punishing and capable.

This is a true statement. We are bullet catchers.

where the fuk do you go to learn wrestling if you're out of college/highschool
