Jocko Podcast 368: Marc Lee's Story. w/ Gold Star Mother, Debbie "Momma" Lee.

[@violetedge1017]

Debbie, I don't know if you will ever see this or not but I just had to put it out there. I read Marc's story and about America's Mighty Warriors and wasn't able to do much, but, I did order a t-shirt. Somehow my order got screwed up and you called me personally to try and make it right. I thought to myself, this incredible woman took the time out of her busy schedule to call me over a $25 T- shirt. Thank you for all you are doing for our heroes. You are a national treasure and my hero. I really enjoyed hearing your story. You have my utmost respect.

I’m lost for words. Hell of a woman. This is one of the best interviews I’ve heard, and the entire thing has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and continued service even after you’re gone Marc Lee, Rest In Paradise! Keep doing amazing things Momma Lee!

Dear Jocko, as hard as it was to have Mrs. Lee on your podcast, it filled in a puzzle piece for me. What a lady. She makes it safe for even Jocko to shed a tear.

Momma Lee, ur such a pillar of grace, strength, courage, pride, and I can't tell u how much just listening to ur story has helped!!

A few minutes in and I'm already getting choked up, I know Marc Lee's story, along with many others who made the ultimate sacrifice, but to hear it from his momma it really hits home. God bless. 🙏🙏

As hard as this is to hear again, it is important. I am honored to be a part of your life mama lee, your son and your personal mission to uphold the honor of all heroes such as marc, thier families and friends, is beyond words. We all rely on families like yours to keep our country strong. We admire and respect leaders like Jocko to bring these stories to life. These realities of genuine human experiences of americas finest, brought to rest. For us. I was there, different time, same experiences. I wish more could understand but thats not the mission. Thank you for sharing again, and i am looking forward to spending time with you again. Love, Sgt. Boogaard

An illegally started war. Over 93% of America's existence has been to war, almost all of which has been unconstitutional (preemptive). GOD... Gold Oil Drugs. Even Edward Snowden was proven right in US Civil Court and an ex-head of the UN does activism for Julian Assange.

[@catherine_steffy]

As an American, the brave who serve their country and are willing to sacrifice so much for what they believe in and for our right as americans to be able to say and believe whatever you want without fear of being persecuted. The soldiers who fight and the ones who don't make it home are not the ones who make the decisions to go to war.. the brave men and women take orders and put trust in the leadership which gets there orders from higher ups.. no matter what you believe in I promise you know someone who was like Mark and regardless of right or wrong doings of the government, anger towards the citizens is misplaced. Regardless of where on this planet you live.. we are humans and we are more a like than most want to admit.. I bleed, you bleed.. you hurt, I hurt.. mark wasn't the one who decided to go to Ramadi.. but he chose to serve his country and regardless the reasons for the war he is a hero and he was brave and he was an example of one of the best of Americans.. he made the ultimate sacrifice and he is the reason you get to make your comment on this video.. And with that Thank you for your service jocko, Mark, 'mama lee', and all the other brave who have served for their country.💙 🇺🇸❤️

[@d.c-jr8015]

I truly believe that it's a major form of CTE. A football player, hockey, or even a fighter suffers from repeated blows over a long period time. A soldier specifically Navy SEALS or Green Beret's and SF that breaches doors is has to call in close ordinance to kill enemy combats must suffer 1000 s of blows to the head. Unlike sports athletes they sustain it over a career. Our soldiers suffer it in a 4-5 year deployments. When our sports players suffer it over possibly 10+ years. The explosions create a shock wave through the entire brain, not just a concussion on one side of the brain. I'm no doctor but it makes sense to me. I hope I explained that well enough. As I heard it on a Podcast such a Jocko's. God Bless our fighting men and women.

[@kingeris1657]

Your right. Marc stood for what he believed in and gave his life 😮. And Colin kneeled like a dog for his beliefs. Like a coward. These two people should never be said together. Ones a hero and the other is a clown who kneeled to the anthem and flag that Marc laid down his life for

[@johdirt7843]

I think Mamma Lee missed part of the point of Marc's email with her comments about Kapernick. Marc's email points out some of the injustices in the United States ("Surprising we are not a stranger to this sort of attitude. Meaning that in our own country we discriminate against someone for what nationality they are, their education level, their social status.... My point of this is how can we come over here and help a less than fortunate country without holding contempt or hate towards them if we can’t do it in our country.") and how it is ironic that he is fighting against injustices while in Iraq. These injustices (perceived or otherwise) are part of what Kapernick was trying to bring attention and light to. What is often left out is that another service member, Green Beret Nate Boyer, was the person that suggested that Kapernick kneel as a sign of respect. Part of what we uphold as service members is Kapernick's right to protest the way that he did. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Remarkable woman,made me want to call my own mother . I know mothers always say they did it with gods help,mine does too. In my opinion It's all her,you did this yourself Debbie! Religion gives us solace but also brings out the strength that you harness yourself. This strength is coming from you and you act on it. Gold star/military mothers have a tiger inside them.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

Thankfully, near-death experience consensus debunks religions and debunked material atheism dogma. (: Besides, all the forgeries, mistranslations, unoriginal content, unhistorical events, unscientific claims, doublets and triplets, misconceptions, etc. Unhistorical, unoriginal, Jewish rabbi not Christian "Jesus" ('J' didn't exist back then and that's not even a Jewish name, so it's kinda racist), that has no birth records, no death records, and no crucifixion records either (plenty of stories outside of the super flawed and very unoriginal Bible that say "Jesus" didn't get crucified, or at least didn't on Earth)... Lol. America, with the most debt (many are unaware of fractional reserve banking, the biggest cancer of them all, since the government purposely doesn't have that taught, like inflation), most warmongering profiteering, most school shootings (since no one wants to guard the entrances/exists since gun rights are more important than childrens' lives in America), most suicides of any first-world country (ironically spends the most on healthcare, and most aren't even vegan, so most love cancers, diabetes, world hunger, etc.), one of the top nations for r*pe, prison capital, one of the worst for obesity, etc. Lolol. I was born and raised in infamous Miami, FL, USA, and I happily left all three of those places. (:

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

By the way, that cross isn't original to Christianity, when it comes to dying and rising mythology. (; Plus, the Founding Fathers were Deists, who thankfully openly criticized the church they ran from and Christianity in itself. Also, the biggest reason for pollution, deforestation, and mass accelerated animal extinction is animal agriculture. So, the bald eagle will be needing more and more protection.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

A copy-and-paste I made: Yeah, my exact sentiments on such disgusting, man-made religions forced on people throughout human civilization. Especially Christianity, mostly spread by extreme violence and very brutal laws. It's about a Jewish rabbi, not Christian, unoriginal, and unhistorical "Jesus". 'J' didn't exist back then, and that's not a Jewish name, so it's a silly and also a racist name. He has no birth records and no death records. Then, plenty of people take the text of the very flawed (mistranslated, forgeries, doublets and triplets, unscientific claims, unhistorical events, misconceptions, etc.) Bible out of context. About a mythological man who had Jewish friends, but, according to the canon (not according to The Book of Judas, which was found later, and says Jesus insisted Judas sell him out to make a scene, when Judas didn't want to), one Jewish person sold him out to the Romans after he broke laws. Then, Jesus broke Roman law by claiming he's the messiah (which he's far from it, according to the very clear prerequisites, and didn't claim he was prior to that, according to unapologetic Bible scholars), which meant he was appointed by Caesar, but he wasn't. That was a major crime in Rome. Romans crucified, not Jewish people. Plenty of racist-founded debunked conspiracy theories against Jewish people after people made it so hard for Jewish people to live. With Ye, he praises Hitler, but Hitler hated Blacks, biracial, and others, according to his own self-written book and of his actions of the Holocaust, consisting of extremely horrific scientific studies, torture, murders, etc. He even dressed up his own men in Polish outfits and had his radio tower attacked by them to justify starting war with Poland. So on and so forth. At least half the New Testament is said to be forged by "Antichrist Paul", who never even met Jesus. He claimed Jesus changed the (Jewish) law, but many said that's not true. It's clear as day in the Bible that he said I have came not to change the law or do away with the prophets, and also to not change a single marking on the lettering of the laws. You don't need unoriginal, unhistorical, and so forth Yeshua/Yashua/Yeyashua/"Jesus" in your life (many with him supposedly inside them still are gluttons [deadly sin], poor, etc.) to go to heaven, according to near-death consensus. Praying is redundant, since supposed Yahweh knows everything, has a plan, and praying is essentially useless begging. Thankfully, near-death experience consensus debunks religions and debunked material atheism dogma.
