[@knarftrakiul3881]

I had a Vietnam vet tell me a story about how he had to take a dump while on patrol during the day. He leaned his 16 up against a tree and had his pants down while all of a sudden a NVA soldier stumbled upon on him but the NVA soldiers riffle was slung on his shoulder. They stared at each other .. notice how they both wasnt ready to engage because their weapons weren't at the ready. Benard said all of a sudden the NVA soldier gave him a nod and Benard gave him a nod back. The NVA soldier slowly backed up and disappeared in to the jungle. Said it seemed like an eternity. The soldiers name was Benard Biteing from Columbus ohio. Haven't seen him since 1999.

@The fastest milkman in the West This. Absolutely this. Additionally, many people have indeed been tested, but they view their experiences as no big deal, and they dismiss their own trials and feelings. All our experiences are our own and our feelings are valid. I have never seen combat, but I have had brain surgery at 14, a tumor (benign, thank god) removed at age 15, my first pulmonary embolism at 19 and my second at 21. I have talked to combat veterans who have given me props for handling that kind of stuff, but to me, it really seems like "well, what else would I have done other than handled it?" Inversely, for them, I could never imagine combat. Your experiences mean something. Most of you are stronger than you think, and chances are that others will recognize it, even if you don't. That's my point. Have a good day, ya'll

Knowing that your brothers are getting completely wiped and having the courage to go out regardless inspires me more than a thousand Marvel phony superheroes.

John Stryker Meyer what a legend ....

[@michaelmerryman7806]

I never thought I'd be part of a book club! Jocko keep up the good work! Thank you for your service!

I broke my back in service of this country 🇺🇸 literally. Infantryman, saw gunner and 9/11 b day. After I was injured, I got put in the “broke dick” platoon and was put on perpetual funeral detail. Class “A’s” M4’s and deep inter personal reflection was my reality. The emotions from the families is still visceral to this day. Thank you for these videos. They really help sort out the chaos in my head and bring peace to the warrior soul. 🙏

This is an invaluable book! Thank you, Jocko for inviting John Stryker Meyer. I enjoy all of them with him, and now SOGCast! Much love to you both! ❤️

[@srsmedic8285]

This guy is great! Such a fun and humble disposition

[@nicholaskoenig3106]

Absolutely intense & incredible stories...ordered his book. War is completely ugly. Vietnam was so jacked up. TYFYS.

When the guys name is "Stryker" you know he's badass!

[@thoingo1886]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MACV SOG ,YOU ARE OUR HERO.

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

Is there anyone more humble and chill then Mr Meyer? Dude is the best, can’t wait to buy his books.

[@andersonlailplace]

Think about it, if you'd gone though all the crap he has, would anything else be able to get to you? Seems like his best days in SOG were so far beyond our worst days in the US.

[@leodaher]

Outstanding episode. Please, please have him back as soon as possible.

[@Diamondphobe]

I've been catching up with 180-183, 186 and 76 ... wow. I wish everyone would listen to these guys. Thank you for bringing them into the (belated) limelight. Best wishes from a Brit.

[@MrWinklbauer]

This guy is cooler than his name....... AND THATS COOL! Great story teller.

[@timlaw9250]

Just respect to you Mr Meyer. Thank you for your service.

[@WolfManJammer]

I’ve been down a worm hole over the past month on MACV SOG then this podcast shows up! What timing. Astounding soldiers. To bad you couldn’t have Billy Waugh on. Possibly John Plaster?

[@1MACVSOG1]

I would give anything for Dick Meadows to still be around to do a interview like this

[@FESpecialties]

Thank you, Tilt for your courage, commitment, and duty you displayed and performed! You are an American Hero Par excel-lance

[@VinnyVincenzoYo]

Oh hell yeah, this is gonna be a good one. Much respect and many thanks for this episode.

[@niagra898]

This dude blew Jockos mind.

[@only5186]

I dont know its strange! Listened to 186 and this one 180 and I've worked and walked around all day head high back straight ready to take on whatever should come my way! 😆 Thank all of you men for your service and sacrifice. I do my best to be an American worth fighting for! Salute to you all!

[@agrielaios]

[@xprettylightsx]

This is one of the few podcasts/series I’ll listen to again and again

[@vernonkeown]

John Stryker Meyer - and all U.S. Special Forces Men - are a national treasure. Fullstop.
