Jocko Podcast 76 with Charlie Plumb - 6 Years a POW at The Hanoi Hilton

[@mynameismontymontana]

Jocko, this is perhaps the most profound podcast. As the son of a 1/7 Cav soldier who didn’t come home from Vietnam, much respect and love to the good Captain and to you Jocko. Matt Montana, son of Jimmy Montana.

Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪. You dad sounds amazing!! May he rest in peace ✌

[@nickcitron2369]

There are definitely a bunch of these I keep saying, this is the most profound, heartwrenching, interesting thing I've ever heard. It's such a privilege to have stuff like this we can turn to at a moment's notice instead of the shit pumped out on the daily by people who know nothing, care nothing except the almighty dollar. Stay up. Sorry to hear about your dad, true heroes. Be proud of that.

I have done something big in my life since finding you. I look up to you and appreciative I found you. Mr. Plumb, to you im not sure I have enough words to convey what gratitude, humility, perseverance, and just looking at things differently because of your wise words. Thank you for hanging on, your lot in life was in comparison harder than any of us. Gives great perspective.

Jocko I'm so grateful finding you and your podcast. I just recently heard you for the first time on Joe Rogan's podcast and I can happily say I'm on my road to sobriety from opiates ever since listening to some of your stuff. Thank you and I am looking forward to more awesome podcasts to come!

[@alex_frijolero]

Rob Hanzlik good luck, I support your decision. I just had a friend OD on heroin recently, it sucks to lose someone for something so silly. When it gets tough just think of your loved ones who will miss you when you're gone. take care

[@MrMacman71]

Rob Hanzlik Stick with it and on some days you will struggle to get through the next hour sober. If you have to think in minutes " for the next 5 minutes Im going to stay sober" then do it. It has been so long for me I cant remember the exact details but I know in the beginning, I was looking from hour to hour and its not easy but it can be done. It has been 23 years for me.

[@allanpotocki5972]

Good job brother! Clean and sober from opiates since March 1st of this year myself!

[@NoEdits704]

It gets easier every day. I was on opiates for about 7 years, the last 3 were heroin. I can say once you make it a week, then a month, a year, it just keeps getting easier and better.

[@ed1968man]

Great to hear, Rob. Every day sober is a great day. I pray you do not relapse. IF it does happen, just start over. Don't EVER give up. Pick up Jocko's book "Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual". It is a resource that will inspire you and help you in your sobriety. Rock on, brother. God bless!!!

[@digitalsquire]

Charlie that day you came home and landed at Clark AFB. I was only about 5 but ... I was there ... My Father was an Air Force F4 pilot stationed at Clark. I was very young ... this is one of the very few memories I have of that time. I remember you all getting off the air plane ... and there was a big huge inflatable tub ... they dunked you all in it. I remember everyone so happy to see you all. Thank you for your service and your 6 years in horror.

[@joshuatrotter25]

Charlie Plumb is a true inspiration. That old saying," a wise man once said", well that wise man is Charlie Plumb.The way he has remained so optimistic when stripped of everything from being a POW for 6 years to coming back home and learning his wife wants a divorce and is engaged to another man, he never let a negative situation break him. He always was making the best of what he had. This is very inspiring. What Jocko starts reading from Charlie's book at about 2:45 on into the podcast are important lessons that can apply to everyone.

[@JoeCiliberto]

The history of air warfare during the Korean and Viet Nam wars are an interesting history. It should be taught in all American history and political science class. The many facets help us understand the nature of war, the nature of politics, and human nature.

Too pussy and weak minded to push myself to do sports as a kid. Joined an adult wrestling class and got my first ever takedown in king of the ring today. Also knocked out all my graduate papers and household errands. You’ve helped me a ton Jocko and echo. I really appreciate you guys

[@catherinegrace2366]

Fascinating, riveting and humbling from beginning to end. Thank you for your service. I was a teen during Viet Nam and I can tell you, I was all about the POW’S. I had a metal bracelet with my POW’S name and date he went missing. In everything I’ve ever owned, I regret that bracelet going missing. Family heirlooms included. That bracelet meant the most. I can relate to these guys. Every one of them but especially the POW’S. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse from the age of 4 until 19 I was in a battle for my personal safety and mental health. I also had to look out for other children within range of the different sexual predators. I fought them physically and played mental mind games with them on a daily basis. I did everything but tell. Today? I’m 62 and I’ve lived my life with my disabilities from living those years and I have tried to make those bastards regret the day they let me live. It’s a battle. I win some and I lose some but even in a loss those bastards don’t forget they had a battle with me. Just every day situations in life. I have to say I have felt overwhelmed and beaten down. Watching these guys encourages me to get up and get on with the next thing. Grace and Godspeed in Jesus name ~ CG

I agree, it's nice to have Veterns day but we should have a day for all medal of Honor heroes and also POW day, whether it's for WWI and WWII POWs or Korea, Vietnam or the Middle East POWs... these guys need a whole day just for them! Absolute legends for being able to survive for so long in such horrible conditions

[@benjamincaldona4290]

They are war criminals, bombing civilians. Killing innocent people they deserved their suffering and their victimization is sickening.

[@dontcare7086]

We don't need a useless holiday to honor them. Instead of showing them how grateful you are one day a year how about shaking a veterans hand when you see one and actually start talking to them. A holiday and a meaningless comment on social media once a year isn't honoring anyone but yourself. Go to your local vfw and buy a round of beers for the vets and ask them their story if you actually give a damn about them.

[@VisualVortexArtStudio]

This guy has lived a rare life, most people including me don't know real difficulty and it really puts into perspective that we just shouldn't complain. We are free to act and improve at every moment, having a strong mind is something that will always serve you. Many people talk about there problems in such whining and weak ways like how hard it is for them when a man like this explains real difficulty in such a calm and humble way with no intention of making people feel sorry for him, just explaining it like it is, I have definitely learned some perspective from hearing Charlie plumbs story, very incredible stuff. It sounds like a film how hard it actually was being a POW and it's not every day that you get to hear from a person who actually lived through this. Jockos podcast has made me respect the military mindset / mental strength / discipline in so many ways, I am not involved with the military in any way, but I'm very thankful for Jocko and Echo putting out these great podcasts.
