I was an army ranger when they took our black beret and gave us a tan one. Jesse Ventura did express his opinion on the Army Ranger's black beret being taken away and given to the regular army. He stated, "So you know, US Army Rangers, for years, had a black beret. They stole it away from them and gave them a tan beret. And to me, that's an atrocity because the black beret should be worn only by the US Army Rangers. They had it back before World War II, and they're the ones that earned the right to wear it."

[@mikethemechanic7395]

Served 93-98. Was Airborne. Was part of a panel that decided on the change of Berets. I was just a E4. I really had no say. All of the changes was because of everyone except Infantry. When I was in an Ordnance unit we had no way of distinguishing ourselves from others. Our commander authorized the ordnance cord from the 70s. Every branch had a shoulder cord in the 70s you knew of someone was a MP or Air artillery etc. Joes were busted wearing medals and wearing Enlisted bus driver caps that were no longer used or authorized. It was a huge problem it drew attention at the time. A lot of cry babies said it was not fair. That’s why they changed the berets. I had 2 Ranger friends get out over it. I voted against it. No one thought it was fair for Blue cords only. I told the panel changing beret colors was not good. Was told I know nothing..

[@FuzzyWuzzy75]

That's the kind of shit that nobody who has ever been in the military or at least had grown up around veterans wouldn't understand. That is why you hear these people who never served have this "What's the big deal?!" kind of attitude towards stolen valor. They just can't comprehend what it is like to earn your jump wings or earn that infantry chord or your Ranger tab or that anchor and globe etc. To them it is just some logo like the McDonalds M or the Pepsi symbol. They don't know what it is like to march the crucible. They don't know what it is really like from first hand experience to survive BUDS or RIP. And they sure as shit don't know what it is like to be in combat or see your friends wounded and killed in combat.

I totally agree, he will truly restore America!

He would make a great president, but I would fear for his safety. There are nefarious people running this world.

[@floygrace6559]

Jesse is the blueprint of a real man. He's a survivor. I can see him surviving and flourushing in any country and century. A lot of people are intimidated by a man, or woman, who knows who they are, and is true to themselves. Respect to Jesse.👍💖

I love listening to jesse, reminds me of a time when straight talking real people were held in high esteem

Agreed. Bygone era. It will come back when more people realize the emptiness that has been left

[@quickdeuce]

Hear hear to that. Jesse always said what he thought.

[@lindazuba]

A lot of people have no idea that that kind of genuineness was the norm but the bulk of the people for what about 50 or 70 years?

[@thebluetarp]

Man it's nice to hear from Jesse Ventura again. You know he tried real hard to expose the crimes and Corruption of the government of the United States of America. But unfortunately Jessie realized it's a difficult task to try to tell the world what you've learned

[@sungirl9951]

refreshingly honest and that’s why you can listen to him forever. I enjoyed this interview very much!

[@Gerroditus]

This man has been my hero since I was 17 and when he ran for Govenor I was elated, doubtful, because I didn't think an independent would be allowed to win, but definitely elated. He restored my faith in the system, never made me less cynical, but restored my basic faith, that it could happen. If Jessie ever runs for President I'll fire up my wheelchair and move back to work on his campaign, at least until its over. I love it here (Vienna Austria), it has problems but is more like the America I grew up in than America could ever be today, but fir Jessie, I'd move until he they either shot him down or he took office.

EXCELLENT INTERVIEW‼️‼️‼️ JESSE VENTURA IMO IS A NATIONAL TREASURE‼️ 1 OF A KIND MADE IN AMERICA WARRIOR & FIGHTER & CHAMPION O FOR TRUE HUMANITY‼️ It's just too bad he's off the grid.

[@bogusmogus9551]

Is it true that the Mongols are still banned from wearing their colors? Is that contradictory to the bill of rights?

[@rudething4u]

@bogusmogus9551 all that happened after Jesse moved on to fight the power.

[@Modsbymarge]

Hey buddy, you forgot to mention jesse is vaxxed, pushes the vaxx & said people should be forced to be vaxxed!!!!! Never saw combat, fake wrestler, who fled america after he got knocked out in a bar by an army sniper!!!!!

[@virgilwhatley4185]

His episode exposing the targeted individuals programs didn't win him any favors. It was a HEROic act. Gotta love his spirit.

[@samsmom400]

He graduated from the UDT program, he's not a SEAL. He spent 6 years in the Navy during the Vietnam War and never saw combat, that's special. Unusual. Highly unusual.

[@tomstoob]

Jesse knows it would be futile even if he ran and won the Presidency. America is run by and for oligarchs - if you are a man of the common people as Jesse is, you'll get squashed and rubbed out as JFK was in 1963. Almost ALL US presidents since LBJ have been not much more than PR men for the real powers behind US politics - they run the country - not these puppet Presidents like Biden and Trump.

[@spaceindian3769]

President Ventura Vice president celente That's the ticket!

[@theoriginaldazza]

Jesse is dressed as my father. Classic cut jeans, white mall walkers and probably a brown or black belt with the t-shirt tucked in. He was Navy and a hardass too.

Jessie Ventura, your an incredible and amazing man I used to watch wrestling a long time ago mind you I'm in my 50s now and I know that you and my uncle are friends when you and him did a show together about investigation on things that had to do with the way the government handled things so I watched and learned a lot from that and like I said before your an incredible amazing man and I love how you explain things and how you can add humor to it and your a solid person in my opinion !! So thank you for being you!! Be well and keep being yourself and it was a great joy to listen to you and your interview and learn a bit more about your own life .!! THANKYOU for taking the time to let us learn more about you!!! Sincerely a long time fan!!!! ❤️ 🍁🇨🇦🍁💔✝️🛐🙏💝💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏💪🧠💞

Yes sir. That's why we the people make sure nothing happens to the good man. He's an original badass.

I remember those shows and I loved them and feared for his safety and life because I knew he was exposing truth.

[@robster985]

"Conspiracy Theory" and I don't remember much, if anything, after his show on 9-11. He has always been a staunch supporter of the "inside job."

[@bradyhough1858]

@robster985 the troops that assessed the situation had balls. That's more than I can say, but yeah , that's old news. It doesn't reflect badly on first responders. With whatever the fuck happened. If you're here, consider yourself reserves. Homeland security anyway. Do the right thing when you see it, fellas. Have a good day.

Jesses devotion to his wife is what a Man's true value is made of and what a Real Honorable Hero is... I have happy tears ;D

[@markiobook8639]

Amen.

[@RedOnly]

Devotion to a partner is rare. Devotion in Hollywood is usually to money and fame only. It's easy to dedicate and love in my broke to middle-class experience. Jesse is manhood goals, and his wife is an aspiration for all women who want to be loved and valued.

[@nenawright8157]

That's what we all want I believe. it's the deep seeded fear that a lot of us carry in the shadow of our souls and life experiences that keep us from it and yet it is so possible :) xoxo@@RedOnly

Jesse and His wife is proof that this level of authenic love and devotion is possible

The best interview with The body Jesse. I worked out at his gym for three years I always liked him he was always a interesting guy to workout around Good humor and respectful. John Stud was also a super nice guy. Jesse encouraged me to compete in my first bodybuilding competition in 1980 . And today I’m still training at 63 years of age.

[@kapnk066]

That's crazy, I competed in my first competition, the 1980 minnesota bodybuilding Championships. We likely crossed paths. Never knew jesse (Jim Janos) personally, but ran into him, wife and firstborn son once. Plus he held lots of lifting records at the same Jr. College I attended.
