He was a Sergeant in the Dutch Commando and fought communist cannibals in the jungles of Dutch New Guinea in the 70's. He never said much but one comment I remember was "We never took any of them prisoner and they never took any of us prisoner". It took a few minutes for me to understand what he meant.

Thank you sir, for giving us the opportunity to hear the stories of bravery and sacrifice that the men lived through during the Vietnam war. It strikes a special chord for me since my father Wilfredo Mercado Santos was K.I.A. On 04/11/1967 in the province of BING DINH. it helps me to understand what he lived through and fully appreciate the men who fought by his side. Too often civilians are oblivious to the horrors of war and forget too often those that have died to make their lives safe at home and abroad. I wish you all the best and continue the good work, we need it.

Wilfredo Mercado that’s sad about your father. My dad was there partially in 67. He said he was on the rock half the time and VN the other half. He said that he was an advisor in the Corps and would have to take a combat command in order to get promoted. He figured he used up all his luck on Iwo , ww2, and Chosen reservoir , Korea, as well a good friend on the generals staff shipped out and was killed 2 wks after arriving in VN.

This has been one of (if not THE) most interesting podcasts I've ever listened to, and I've been listening to Jocko for 4 or 5 years now. Thank you Jocko and John for your service and for providing us with this media.

Yes, your Viet Vet stories hit the mark! Grateful you keep it REAL, as amazing the fear factor can slam down on a vet, able to envision the scenarios, from that part of the world. Tilt being a jolly SF, helps keep the action outside the other SF (stress factor), which is what happened to each of you, resting aboard flight to an OA. I got that out of Dick Thompson's book. Eventually, I'll read all your SpecOps books. Actually, the first book that got me reading again was Roger Lockshier's "We Saved SOG Souls". After reading that 3 times in one month, I started following Tilt & Jocko's endorsements to this book (and another). Haven't done this much reading in decades. I can respect SpecOps Vets better when they keep it real, as you really nailed it here. See, I too had problems finding gainful employment after my first stint.... I too got busted (numerous times) for confronting leadership incompetence, putting our team at unnecessary disadvantage, against a relentless, disciplined adversary. But, being from Philly, I carried an attitude of 'what you gonna show me I ain't seen already, eh?' BTW, for some heavenly reason, NOBODY tried any disrespect on me, when I rode public transportation (subway & buses) from airport home, carrying stuffed into 2 solid duffels on my shoulders for the last coupla city blocks. But, I never went to Airborne, Green Berets, or Rangers; was just a "RMF", in your terms. Nevertheless, always felt appreciated in company of SpecOps Vets; except for only 3 times I pissed-off a 2nd Recon pal, an SF in civilian tech school, who's nickname was Rambo, and a much younger trucker who was a retired SF instructor (who may've acted disrespectfully to warrant my parry). Even then, in all those instances, though I was dismayed w each of those 3, I never got pissed n never held any grudge. The SCARY part for me is I NEVER was intimidated by size. Rank was a different story; I went into service w respect for authority. But that respect will unglue the real RMFs, right easy.😊

....oddly, me didn't find out till after completion of tour, that I was accepted to serve w a congenital disabilty (scoliosis). Some seem to marvel at high threshold for pain.... but, if you live w pain since birth..... duh, it's a no-brainer. Part of me misses not having served w SF (my kind of people), while other part is grateful "...many are called, but few are chosen." Even if I had made the cut, I abhoar any possibility of having been too weak a link, in team effort. All this y'all did during your respective tours of service, will need to suffice. I honor & respect your greatness in doing that.

I'm an airborne infantry combat vet from Iraq but my experience pales in comparison to what this hero accomplished. These men were the real snake eaters. We had nods, thermals, etc., almost constant air and uav support. These dudes were behind enemy lines against all odds. It was a mission just to get into a mission. Operators by every sense of the word.

This man’s 1st tour ended around the time I was born. I’m 53. My memories at 23 are not nearly so sharp. I guess the intensity of the experience makes for a hell of a difference.

Damn I love this podcast! I listened to one of your more recent ones where you said to go back and listen to 180 and 181 before going forward. Listened to 180 while at work and started this one this evening. So much in this that kind of paints a picture of what those guys went through. Brutal!

Men like this give me hope for America and humanity in general, it's nice to see there are people out there that still have honor and continue to do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. Ton of respect for the both of you, love your podcasts Jocko I believe I have watched at least 50 of them.

I had a strange experience where I felt like my values and convictions would not overlap very much with those of this person since I don't care that much about the US, their military, God, and probably most implied political views. But I still found myself compelled to sit down, shut up, and listen to the stories about this incredible human. It's amazing how transcendent these things are.
