[@user-mr2do5vr1v]

@@bradd8383 agreed. I believe 100% of the claims made against the SEAL community. I think they need to hash it out. The fact that something like this is even coming out just shows that SOMETHING occured. It's hard to believe all of the claims made against them are all lies. Something happened. There's what GBC said, what the SEAL community says, and the truth.

Brah, teams regularly failed to coordinate with battle space owners in Mosul 2007-2009, and it caused all kinds of shit for us as the battle space owners. This line that not coordinating with other units was death shit is disingenuous. Rangers, MIT, and PIT teams as well as yes SEALs were all guilty of it, as were conventional ground forces. At least that’s the Iraq I remember.

[@raulsanches3619]

The SEALS think Jocko is a toolbag for many more reasons than what you listed above. Lots of them coming out now. In Afghanistan 2010-2011 I didn't have any major issues with de-conflicting fires, coordinating with adjacent units, communicating with each other with up to battalion size attacks.

[@choossuck7653]

This dude is a coward

[@joesgotya9930]

The fact is a lot people are fucking pissed off about the truth coming out regarding Roberts Ridge, Operation Redwings and many other SEAL related cover ups. A small entity of SEAL leadership tried to completely distort and manipulate the truth on what happened in all these instances and it has deeply damaged the reputation of NSW. Now do I think Jocko is relevant to those events? No, and nor is he obligated to speak on them. Jocko can only speak to where he was in the specific time frame of the GWOT and the people he commanded in Iraq. A lot of people are trying to put all the NSW BS that has transpired over 20 years and putting it at the feet of Jocko because of his success as a public figure and his platform. The only thing for me that I’m really not sure about is Chris Kyle. That dude flat out “bragged” about punching Jessie Ventura in the face and sniping looters from a sports stadium during the Katrina disaster. Among other things, that Antihero podcast and Green Beret Chronicles was not the 1st time Kyle has been accused of lying, exaggerating, beating his wife and killing unarmed civilians. IMO, Jocko absolutely is obligated to talk about him and the allegations. Jocko was not only in charge of Chris Kyle in TF Bruiser, but a lot of Jockos original fame came from that past relationship and the success of American Sniper. In that separate case, I would like to get some context from Jocko.

[@P.G.Wodelouse]

Chris Kyle's numbers are so outrageous (even compared to people doing the same job at the same time in the same place), mathematically he was either a liar everyone decided to profit from or his leaders decided to look the other way knowing fully he was a psycho willing to target anybody for any reason, including his own satisfaction.

[@maverick744]

If you have any question on Chris’s character then look at what he did after he got out. He helped physically and mentally wounded vets. Thats not the actions of someone who cared for nothing but his legacy and fortune. If any of this was true, Jocko and everyone else would still be in prison. Those on the different side of politics no way would not bite on that story for over 20 years because they goodness in their heart and didnt want to tarnish this country or its troops reputation? Yeah the truth is right there plain as day..

[@joesgotya9930]

@@maverick744 .. And Chris was literally murdered by a “physically and mentally” wounded veteran. What’s your point?

[@zeck8541]

Clouding the issue in the second half of this video when talking about how all ops had to be approved. Having approval for an op doesn’t signify what actually takes place on the op. It doesn’t implicitly explain away who is left dead on the floor of a target site, or why, when everyone withdraws. As a Marine sniper I will testify that there are so, so many times when NO ONE can see what a sniper can see through his optic, meaning that the person in the window 600m away can’t be seen by anyone but me. So, if I were to pull the trigger and call a hit, no one knows the status of the endexed target but me. It’s very easy to do things no one will know about in so many situations, even when you have other troops supporting your mission. He keeps talking about people “in the know”. Yes, Jocko. A lot of us are in “the know” and not in the way you describe. We actually do know and we know how easy it was to do things that simply stayed in-house. You know it and so do we. For everything that someone happened to see indicators of things you guys are accused of, there is the iceberg of what isn’t seen. Facts, and true for any unit. The things you do for free for people? You do it for free for marketing your brand. Naval Special Bookfare.

Bonus points if you use clickbaity words in the title like "THE TRUTH", "the REAL story" or "EXPOSED". 3.) Deploy a few minions or use a burner account to go to other channels and direct people to your video. 4.) On your video, people will watch out of curiosity, click "like" or "dislike" and comment, which drives up engagement. 5.) Sit back and watch the money roll in from the clicks and ad revenue. 6.) Repeat steps 1-5 with a different target. I'm quite familiar with this process because I've been on the receiving end of it. If you see one of these videos pop up, don't click, don't watch and don't engage. These people are trying to prey off of the success of others and are running a deeply cynical scam.

[@payback_carter]

3/8 did 4 deployments over the course of the GWOT, 2 OIF 2 OEF. They lost 37 Marines TOTAL during the GWOT, 17 in Ramadi during ‘06. There were other Marine Grunt Bns there overlapping this period for sure as Ramadi was a long fight, but this is 3/8 specific. The Bn Cmdr of 3/8 at the time just retired a few months ago as a 2 Star General.

@@Lifechanging99999 Relax kid. I’m well aware that 3/8 pumped out a lot over the course of 20 years. I’m not saying that the MEU deployments don’t count or anything like that. I’m also aware that over the course of a MEU deployment, elements did go ashore and conduct limited scope operations in support of a named operation, and I’m not talking about those either. For the purpose of this conversation, we are talking specifically about combat operations where Marines from 3/8 were (or weren’t) killed in action. So, I see how you could become confused when I said “During the GWOT” and take that to mean something else. The overall thread here is discussing how many Marines 3/8 lost during their 2006 deployment and I know for a fact, that 36 figure is incorrect. Which is the thrust of what I’m wanting to see corrected. We need to stop grifters from passing blatant falsehoods that every time a Grunt Bn went Downrange we lost over a platoon of dudes KIA as a regular occurrence.

A few things to note here. One, it would be nice if we got back to a time where the public just didn’t know about the things that you i’ll have to do overseas to keep us free. The American public is not ready for those conversations. Two, if you look at and listen to the cadences that are sung during Boot Camp, basic training, and any other type of initial military training, they don’t necessarily promote cooperation between the branches. So you’re taking new boots from whatever town and whatever childhood and adolescent experience/trauma They’ve endured for 18 years and you put them in this one place where you do what you have to do to get them to work together as a team but then you talk about the other team who’s on the same team as you and cadence form. Every day.when they are the most impressionable. Then, you make them trained to destroy the enemies of America, which I’m for, and then discharge them after while to do with whatever skill they learned in the military? Then, they see Jocko and other people who are more than just the rifle doing their thing and being successful at it and they get mad because they want that success too. Why not me? And so now they begin to attack each other on the outside of the military . Because when there’s no one they can actually fight with reach, what’s the thing that siblings do? Fight each other. As a behavioral management specialist, who has served in the army and in various communities as a police officer who is currently pursuing a doctorate in traumatology, I can tell you that this is not surprising. The United States military along with law-enforcement and other occupations noisily capitalize on the unresolved traumas of people in certain communities to attract candidates for military service. They continuously use those traumas to motivate those persons to do the militaries bidding while teaching them how to resolve that trauma. Because if they resolve it, they may not want to be here anymore. And then you set them free with a DD 214 and the promise of aftercare when depending upon who that person was and became during their military service, if you were lost before you went in and you didn’t find yourself and who you could be outside of the military while you were in, this is why people are attacking Jocko and others who have found more life and meaning outside of the military using their experiences from the military and law enforcement to continuously make the dash between those dates of birth and death matter. Keep going Jaco. You’re doing fine. I could clearly see the heat and the hate they are giving you. Keep going. Keep going.

This is why you say "don't tell the public", this is why soldiers for thousands of years told stories of their heroic wars they thought were justifiable and why these days they beat into you guys thee idea of not telling anyone about your experience because "the public won't understand."

The seals in sadr city were definitely some pre madonnas and it almost cost them their life at the end of a 25mm Bradley chain gun. Then they demanded we escorted them out of the area because we “compromised their hide site”. After they intentionally gave us the wrong grid coordinates after many many requests for it.
