Jocko Podcast 51 - w/ Echo Charles - "The Coldest War."

[@MrSteveo0088]

Sir, I don't know if you remember me. We were in Iraq together. I was EOD with Fox-Trot. I was injured in our Helicopter Crash/accident. Had 7 back surgeries. Told I was never going to walk again, but I am finally working out again and have been walking for a long time now. I am hoping to be able to run again soon. I am glad you are doing well. I am going to take your advice in one of your other videos. I am going to start waking up early again and start working on my discipline again. Crazy how being in bed for so long can take some of that away. I started the surgeries in 06 and the last one was in Sept 08. It was still very difficult after that. So much pain to do anything. I was very impatient. Very angry and bitter at the VA and military for throwing me out when I was Number 1 at MU3 for many years. And as soon as I was hurt they took away my pay and pushed me out. I had to learn to get over all of that and move forward. It is good to move forward. I am working again. I am engaged. I have many acres on a big river in SC. I am MOVING Forward... Like I said, it is good to see you doing well. I am sure you have helped many people that you will never hear from. Thanks for what you are doing. Steve O

Thank you for your service. It means a hell of a lot to many of us.

[@MrSteveo0088]

Thank you. That means a lot to us.

Stephen OConner glad you are still here getting after it

[@fred15228]

Stephen OConner congratulations sir! Thanks for all of the things you did for this country, I'm hoping to enlist as a nurse or as a firefighter

[@0num4]

Thanks for your service, brother. Keep on getting after it!

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

I seriously do not get the hate on the ad reads. Other than lightening up the mood after a serious book review or interview IMO Jocko and Echo's ad reads are some of the most creative and funniest ad reads out there right now

[@0num4]

I don't understand the hate either. These guys take numerous hours every week to do this podcast, at no cost to us. They're just trying to cover costs and maybe make a little scrap to improve their lot (and thereby, our lot) in the long run. Gotta pay the bills, right? If that means I get to hear 10-20 minutes of chewing the fat while pushing ads and products/services, so be it. It's still worthwhile conversation most of the time.

[@The713htxzoe]

The privileged and entitled, think their minuscule frame of mind is worth giving a voice to.

[@sangyedorje]

2:29:00 shows what kind of person Jocko truly is, his humanity, his heart. Amazing.

[@matthewkornder5586]

These pod casts are perfect for long runs and hikes across country. Jocko's pod cast is perfect for anybody in the military.

[@chrisjohnson1825]

I feel like echo is the luckiest man ever getting to hear all of these stories first hand from you!

[@0num4]

Outstanding podcast. To say they are "getting good at this" is an understatement. They started good, and are merely honing their craft to be the best.

[@xz0mbae]

My Grandpa, Maj. Dodge, was in the Korean war as a pilot, mostly medivacing soldiers back. I should ask him if we had any other relatives there, like a SGT Dodge in the USMC, because it is not a very common last name. When I was at FOB Sharana in Afghanistan, 07-08, I was in the 864th Engineers and we were attached to the 82nd, being relieved by the 101st, and I remember being in the chow hall, looking up, and seeing a SGT Dodge, I was just an E2 Pvt at the time, and we had a good conversation but we were not related to the best of our knowledge. It is great to hear other Dodges in history fighting the good fight. Love the podcast Jocko and keep it up frogman.

[@uknxwme]

I’m so glad you read parts of the books! You’ve really helped me understand on a personal level of the wars we’ve been in & others. It’s definitely something we should never forget & more people should be educated in.

[@rickpatrick468]

Only 46 comments. I found this podcast about two weeks ago. And I am totally hooked on this stuff. Since I am a massive history buff . It's Saturday May 4th 2019 I just got off of work I no longer listen to the radio when I'm in my vehicle. Only to this podcast. I am about to run out of high-speed internet. So I'm sitting in the parking lot of my phone provider an internet provider. I'm about to walk in and up my service to unlimited internet this is how I dictating this is to me.

[@briancook6158]

Thanks for this Jocko. My dad was in the Korean war and he said it was so cold that the diesel fuel froze. They used to have to keep engines running.

[@quentinhunter1562]

I really enjoy learning abt the Korean War from Jocko. I was an Airborne Army Grunt in Iraq and Afghanistan. These lessons learned from the podcast are priceless.

[@neilsanchez4658]

Thank You for showing us the best version of you as it helped me to try and be the best version of me. I started watching your podcast from 1 and now that i have an account i can finally write something back in any way. I am glad to be here.

[@kellyfj]

Fantastic reading of the excerpts from the book - just great stuff. Great lessons on character, leadership and just a great story well delivered. Thank you sir!

[@sllanham]

Thanks for doing this. My dad was a Korean war veteran (Army). I'm definitely getting this book.

[@deadtothewxrld]

I'm way late to this party, but this podcast opened my eyes to the things my great uncle did/saw in Korea. He single-handedly swam across a river there under enemy fire to secure something, and swam back just the same. He never spoke about these things though, and would surely never consider his actions worthy of recognition.

[@thexgamingchannel9771]

And still the fact the guys like author of this book portrays that things like having a SGT who carries out missions on his own etc are worth monetizing from this and naming it coldest war makes it hilarious, maybe yall get some other economically crippled 3rd world country liberated cuz nothing is working for em rn

[@KY_REDDYNESS]

A good podcast. I appreciate the insights into these struggles.

[@archon3897]

Jocko I know you probably don't have time to read all of these, but god damn this was a good podcast. Thank god you started doing these.

I go out of my way to speak with veterans of the Korean war /police action whenever I'm at the VA. It's an easy read. and definitely worth reading.

[@frinkpoofer3375]

why would sombody give this a thumbs down? I think it is definitely a thumbs up situation.

[@jims512]

I had an uncle who was a Marine in Korea. He enlisted and volunteered for deployment after my other uncle was drafted since the Marine Corps would only send one of them. He was a good uncle and a talker, but never talked about that. RIP Uncle Alvin.

[@MrKfq269]

At 1:44 36,000+ Americans killed in Korea. That war lasted 36 months. I wonder how Americans would deal with that if it were to happen today? Absolutely astonishing numbers.

[@unitedstatesofamerica9948]

Jocko, could you go through "The Last Punisher" on your podcast?

[@nikolasbbq]

guys - here's a guest for you SEAL Jeff Krause, who was SF and went thru Ranger training ! ! ! his boook is You Want Me To Do What? My brother and his brother were both local cops, that's how I heard about him.

[@mitchellwakefield8032]

Hey Jocko, can you please try and get derek weida on the podcast? would love for him to share his story with your viewers.

[@WasBlind_NowISee]

Just to clarify the gook term. In the korean language migook (migook salam: lam pronounced “rom”) means American or American person, Hangook (hangook salam) means Korean or Korean person. We have very good tires sold here in the states called hankook tires. Yes they are korean and for marketing purposes they changed the “g” with a “k”. Gook is only a racial term because of the contextual history the word has, but technically its just an everyday word used thats not racist. Thank all your grandfathers that fought side by side with our grandfathers aggressively tough in hellish conditions for yards not miles at times just for the greater good of global humanity and to eradicate the growing ideology of communism at that time). They did not die in vain and look at our alley friendship/ countries now, stronger than ever and the world is much safer. #320,000ROKsoldiersenttonam4backup 🇺🇸🇰🇷💪🤝❤️✝️

@ Check their channel out, throat singing and binaural beats. Probably wears crocks and has a man bun, yoga pants, cries a lot. Or if female has short hair dyed a funky colour and at least 1 pair of doc martins. In the UK, thanks to Corbyn and other millennial nonsense, we have a growing move towards socialism. I hope they are a troll but they may actually be serious.

[@marktaber6739]

Take a seat

[@MrKfq269]

Wars are won by the side that makes the fewer mistakes. The chinese were woefully unprepared and woefully underestimated the American fighting man.

[@erwin643]

Why does Jocko have this guy, "Echo Charles" as a co-host? Apparently he has no military background, whatsoever. "Fighting for your country is the greatest thing"? Really? Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan were fought for the U.S. Gov't, representing a narrow group of elitists, trans-national corporations, the military-industrial complex, CFR, etc., but not the country. The people of the U.S. have no interest in foreign wars. This newer generation of "Warrior" types need to understand the difference between "country" and "government." If anything, it creates a real precedent for fascism in this country. - CPT (0-3-E), U.S. Army, MI, RET

[@joeebanks646]

Because hes a boss

[@AngryOscillator]

You don't like Echo? You have no soul. The public are stupid and distracted but unfortunately you need their support so its easier to sell a story than the truth. The truth being there is a very dangerous philosophy floating around the world and it needs to be kept in check... also oil and stuff and keeping a ready military sure but its keeping those Marxist ideals at bay that REALLY matters.

[@thexgamingchannel9771]

Finally a smart person who knows whats behind of those wars. They lost so many people, inexperienced kids and shit, and with that they proved that Nkorea, russia, china iraq, have nothing to worry about because their troops are on different level
