[@amymonsoor5845]

This is my uncle //Michael Monsoor//

[@rmv4646]

Hero!!!!

[@joeparness1290]

Amy Monsoor God Bless him; There is no greater gift than man can give them to give his life for his friends. And that is exactly what he did. Again, God bless him for making the ultimate sacrifice and following our Lord's greatest commandment in doing so.

[@GeoffreyProfessional]

Thank you for your uncle for his service. God bless you and your family!

[@michaelboyd7508]

You're uncle is the epitome of selflessness and sacrifice and true American patriotism! Wear your family's name with pride and honor it with your behavior!

[@brianmiller6340]

I participated in Mike's CASEVAC. That was the last time we (C Co. 1st Plt 1-6 INF) worked with the SEALs. The Eagle's Nest was the hotbed of the Ma'laab, and I'm grateful every day for his sacrifice.

[@aureliusrusticus2320]

When a man has such a superhuman sense of selflessness to the degree in which he throws himself upon a live grenade to save the lives of others around him, how could those others not have some degree of survivor's guilt? I wasn't even there and I feel like I have survivors guilt just knowing about this man. I was toiling away in a factory the day he sacrificed his life. How can any man feel worthy compared to a man who had the balls to throw himself upon a live grenade? Fucking-A, man.

[@aureliusrusticus2320]

Chad Toots -- Absolutely, friend. I feel the exact same way.

[@briand.1694]

You are so right. These acts of valor are real. They don't just occur in fiction where unfortunately, too many people exist.

[@danielbaugher826]

Aurelius Rusticus he died on St Michaels Day God bless him God bless you “ Mikey “ he fought against the enemy like the arc angel Michael that day for sure GOD BLESS YOU OUR BROTHER IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏✝️🇺🇸🤩😇

RIP Mikey Monsoor. 'Til the next rendezvous, brother.

[@billytmorris]

I wanted to say that I am veteran but the hardest thing I ever had to do was open the when the CACO came knocking. My son Lance Cpl. Daniel Morris was killed Feb. 14 2007 in the Al Anbar Province! Thank you Jocko and Andrew for keep the wolf at bay!

[@andrewmpaul]

Billly, thank you for your service. Thank you for your son- a BRAVE MAN who paid the ultimate price. He is not forgotten; I know myself and a great multitude of others are eternally grateful for Daniel.

[@camkraw893]

Billy Morris thank you for your service and i thank your son for the sacrifice he made that a majority of this country never even think about. he will always be remembered

[@alfonsofrancos8149]

Rah sir.

[@allobove7798]

God bless you and your family. You make this the great country it is.

[@HeroesMother]

Billy, I am so sorry for your loss. Please email me your contact info so we can send you invites to our retreats and the Heroes Hope Home. My son Marc Lee was the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq and was on Task Unit Bruiser. We started America's Mighty Warriors after his death to support our troops and families of our fallen.

[@rea13per97]

I can confidently say, this is by far the best podcast on KZbin.

[@Clemsontiger21487]

Man, we as Americans, sure take life for granted. How lucky we are. Thank god for frogmen and all the servicemen. Something about seeing a grown man cry, or hold back tears, really brings the feels. Thank you all

[@MasterGuero]

I teared up listening to this on my way home from work when they started talking about Mikey and having to tell his parents of his death. Rip Mikey and thank you so much for your guys service.

[@jimc5930]

God bless Michael Monsoor, Jocko you’re an inspiration to so many Thank you!

[@rickpatrick468]

Jesus Christ this makes me want to break down and cry. I didn't even cry when I watched my mama died I watched her draw her last breath it shook me to my core. But she was 74 years old riddle with cancer I knew that she was at peace. But hearing these men of strong moral character the love they have for they're Brothers is heartbreaking to say the least. I am so glad I found this channel that is going to help me shape my young 16 year old child into the man that I want him to be. Even though I am 58 years old and I've already raised three older children it's almost like this channel is giving me a guidebook a handbook on how to raise a strong child. Thank you so much for y'all's service and your information.

[@InPursuitOfArt]

Another incredibly powerful episode. Andrew is another phenomenal guy. Jocko podcast - by far the best learning experience I've ever had. Thank you Jocko, Echo and everyone else that's contributed to this.

[@ronaldcassidy7231]

Jocko just keeps it real once again!!wanted to say to Andrew brother every time I hear u speak,I hear a selfless leader of men.Im sure the men that served under u loved working for there leader.As n NFL pension holder I know what I'm talking about...Andrew Paul is the real deal n a humble man!!young fellas take note!!!

[@kimosabbe50]

Volen CK Roger that!

[@kristiesmith9928]

Happy birthday to you to sir November 7 2021 . I love the core . Xo it is the 10 th 1775 November 2021 .xo

[@LevonsWound]

best jocko podcast thus far, the story told by Andrew towards the end, he lost everything but has his son is very moving and illustrates true strength of character ... after hearing his story I will never have a bad day as long as i live .......American Hero!!

[@kylermacintire4823]

It'd be cool of you could get some MARSOC guys on here

[@alex_frijolero]

Jocko always gets after it with these podcasts always super prepared and interesting. Don't ever stop producing content

[@mikexxxmilly]

He’s the type of man that does everything with integrity and excellence

[@lona0540]

What great conversation between two frogmen of the highest caliber. Thank you guys for letting us view a real conversation about life as a NAVY SEAL.

[@ByWayOfDeception]

Good god, he was only 25 and he already accomplished so much.

[@brendonkeenan721]

So far, my favorite. As much as I hate the fact that young men die in battle, it is truly an honor to me that you are willing to share the emotions of that loss. This episode though, was about much more than that; Andrew sharing some hard truths about life after the Navy and the transition he went through. Jocko hearing that story, and then taking ownership about not being available to his friend and brother. Realizing that sometimes it's embarrassing to reach out for help. Understanding that in my own life, I shouldn't be embarrassed about failures, and that there is dignity in all things. Even failure. Just don't quit. Thank you gentlemen.

[@MortgagePathfinder]

What a great podcast. One of my happiest moments in life was to meet Andrew Paul. It was an honor!

[@bobhampton5840]

These last two podcasts have been outstanding. I feel like a little kid again listening to veterans talking about their war experience (am old enough to have had that privilege with WW 2 and Korea vets). If Andrew is not a subcontractor for Jocko's leadership consulting business then someone has missed an opportunity. Thank you for this work as well.

[@TKE644]

To quote Echo "Dang..", intense, moving, respectful. I know men like Jocko and Andrew are usually quiet but podcasts like these do so much for remembrance and shed light on these heroes that live amongst us and those who have given it all for us.

[@electron-Volt]

Such exceptional individuals. It's an honor just to get to listen, thank you.

[@duckcall96]

Had me in tears. Thank you for your service. This podcast moved me.

[@WayTooMuchGear]

Podcast gold right there. Rest in peace, Michael Monsoor.

[@karinahernandez6424]

I listen to your podcast usually at work and absolutely love it. I was getting a bit emotional listening to some of the sadder parts of this one. Well, also some of the previous ones too. Thank you is not enough, but what else can I say. I have tremendous admiration to the men and women who serve and have served. Thank you for sharing your stories with us. These guys are some tough tough cookies.

[@jamescbruce041613]

Wow, I just finished watching this from start to finish. This is the best 2 hours I have ever spent on KZbin. Thank you Andrew and thank you Jocko for sharing this with us.

[@lionel170]

Thank you Andrew and Jocko for your service and great advice. God bless the both of you.

[@justinhuffman456]

Keep the other vets coming. It is awesome to hear these stories.

Mikey monsoor is real hero. As are ryan job, marc lee, chris kyle, charles keating the 4th and william ryan owens.

[@andytay31466]

Thank you Andrew for your service .....Semper Fi

[@TheJoeGizzle]

So much wisdom in these podcasts...

[@slipperyfishaquatics4362]

Incredible as always! Thank you both for your inspiration.

[@lesflynn4455]

This is an excellent podcast. I'm coming in years late, but I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation between some awesome gentlemen. May your teammates rest in peace.

[@NoEdits704]

This was probably the best podcast I've listened to. Thanks guys.

[@JZMan2012]

What a great resource Jocko and Echo have created. This podcast is a great voice for vets. The struggles that Andrew described are something a lot of vets go through, even Navy Seals. This was comforting to hear about it in the podcast. Thank you for doing this.

[@jcbryant4200]

Josh Z it’s also a great resource for civilians. I believe it is every American’s duty not just to say thank your for your service to vets but to listen and learn about their stories and honor their sacrifices by living your life to the absolute fullest and doing your part to keep the American dream and way of life going strong.

[@racorbin]

one of the best interviews. Thanks guys. At 1:33, it was some of most important information that applies to me personally at this moment.

[@bk1bennett]

Andrew Paul is one of my favorites. Pure Class

[@terifarley4770]

Top notch guys! Thanks all!

[@dexter513]

Andrew is great, good to hear his story about his personal life with his family. It helps give hope.

[@andrzejklein7846]

1:33:30 for me one of the most powerful questions considering "GOOD" philosophy.

[@rmv4646]

"Who is raising the spineless cowards".... Damn he nailed that. So damn sad, terrifying actually, that men are getting softer and softer....

[@Becarhodzic]

The military and the system in our country has afforded us the opportunity to be soft. It’s definitely terrifying the majority of the population in the United States is softer then Charmin ultra soft lol. Thank god for people like Jocko and Andrew and countless of others that are out of this world warriors in this country. If it wasn’t for them we would be in grave danger from countries that just have a way tougher lifestyle and mentality then us.

[@jakeedgell591]

@@Becarhodzic easy times create soft men which create hard times which create hard men which create easy times and so it goes. There's change coming

[@kevinzhang3313]

Tell that to the millenials who served with Andrew Paul on the battlefield.

[@rmv4646]

@@kevinzhang3313 the men that served are studs ...I know because I trained them or I trained with them. Many, if not most of the younger generation, are the spineless cowards that he is talking about. You can see this in the average Testosterone levels of the general population. They are getting softer and softer. How does the saying go....."Soft men make hard times, hard times make strong men..." We seem to be in the weaker men time. When you speak of strong character, fearsome fighters and all of the other characteristics that describe strength, You can not compare the men that served with softer boys. They are not in the same ballpark.

[@rmv4646]

@Spartan that is a good point. But there is another part to that. The men that are competing are the top men. The average men are still getting weaker and softer. The extremes are getting further apart.

[@pigroper5]

Absolutely the finest example of Human Beings I can imagine. God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit must be proud truly. The Best of the Best.

[@SinnGread]

Jocko … there is such a need for this kind of content. Such a void and lack of understanding in this world , it great that you are helping build a bridge of understanding to this world of the warriors . its important not only to your friends and brothers and sisters you fought with and who died … but for the folks at home who need to hear these realities … these realities allow folks to Feel like the Warriors and Hero's are human, with human feelings and human faults. all the trappings of being a human beings . I have the greatest respect for you and your calling Jocko.

[@Unkn0wnGuy]

What a great interview.

[@joecarnation8798]

Awesome hearing from the real deal and having these guys on the podcast! Jocko- Do movie narration.

[@shawnmurphy3693]

"okay" jocko exactly brother! thanks for your continued service gentleman !

[@whisperofsteel]

Awesome episode. Thank you for that. Recently finished Dauber's book, and now I understand a bit more about what you guys were talking about.

[@davidnixon5703]

I have watched a number of your podcasts on youtube...the latest...this one...excellent...with mikey's boss at the time of his death and you...as always...the perfectionist...what I really have to say is this...without the visual content you provide on youtube/thru youtube...whatever makes it happen/however it happens...it would not be the same (to me) with just the audio...and I realized this when you brought up the size thing concerning Andrew...it's all about the visual content combined with the audio that makes it so special for me...thank you...thank you for your service...thank you for your podcast content and I will subscribe when I finish this tribute to you and what you do...

[@MrJoeDEMO]
