@@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.

[@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.

Jocko literally didn't answer anything here. He doesn't understand what "Extreme Ownership" means. I served alongside SEALs and others in various capacities and it was well-known back in the early 2000s that they were running and gunning and we had a hell of a time coordinating and debriefing with them on anything. This extends back to the incident with the Rangers and Pat Tillman. Any Muppet in a closet can form strong opinions about the SEALs simply from reading about many of their more well-known and infamous operations. What I don't like about his response here: 1. He is using the defense of "everything was documented" 2. The defense of "we had strict ROE" 3. The defense of "we communicated everything" 4. The defense of "it was chaos" 5. The defense of "we had to have x, y, z approvals" 6. The defense of "we had guys getting injured" 7. The defense of "my fallen brothers would not want me to squander this gift" I try to play the fence on these things but he is not addressing the accusations head-on/directly. He is indirectly circling around the accusations gathering up what indirect and supportive evidence he can which is fine, but still doesn't provide direct evidence to null/void the accusations against him. One of the glaring factors I see him avoiding discussing is Chris Kyle among others.

After that we got hit. Was it their fault? Maybe. They didnt have positive ID on the people they shot. Their ROE's were way different than ours. They did whatever they wanted.

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.

[@flyingirish31]

This is long, but I feel it needs to be said. I was actually in Iraq from April 06 to April 07 as a part of a USACAPOC unit responsible among other things, for COIN in Ramadi at the time. The task unit did have friction with 38 and with the CAT-A assigned to that AO. I have to admit that. The SEALs were looked at by some as a bit cavalier, not always team players, cowboyish. But war crimes? No. No way. Never heard a word uttered about that. And…I would have. I’m sure. There were definitely some skepticism on why they were running so many broad daylight missions. Particularly after Lee and Mansour were killed. Definitely some Monday morning QBing after those events. But war crimes? Hell no. And war crimes suspicions were always shared spontaneously through the ranks. So again, I would have heard about it. Particularly when again, I was reporting to a cell at MND-B who at the time was the division supporting civil military operations for that part of MNF-W. I regularly was in meetings with division general officers and often when topics like reported illegal action was brought up. Never heard a peep about this. Now, was Kyle a liar about some of his exploits…unequivocally yes. And that went beyond Ramadi OIF 06-07. But I never once heard of war crimes in relation to him. I agree this letter does not make sense as it is true investigations would have been oppressively present and the TU would have been stood down. That was not happening. I can tell you first hand. Remember, TU Bruiser was a vanilla unit. They were operating with the full knowledge, and oversight of the battle space command. They aren’t a unit like CAG or The Command or even the Activity reporting to the executive branch directly. So to say they were somehow protected from above, just doesn’t make any sense. If anything, NCIS was on speed dial by 38s CO. Vanilla units are in the spotlight, not operating in obscurity. Do I believe there is more to the story to how Kyle later died, absolutely. But I find it highly unlikely it was due to his previous knowledge and exploits in Ramadi half a decade previously. I am not here to simp for anyone. I actually have some problems philosophically with the marketing of special operations and certain personalities that are without a doubt enriching themselves by embellishing their military prowess or worse, outright lying about where they were and what they did. I know for a fact these scumbags exist. I have no evidence or first or even second hand knowledge pointing to Jocko being of that ilk. And if you want me to name names of who I’m talking about, I am not afraid of doing so. One final thought. Remember, certain things Jockos recent accusers are 💯 true in relation to several of those bad actors I’m describing. Red Wings and Luttrell’s true conduct vs the Lone Survivor account, Slab and Szymanski and Roberts Ridge screwing of Chapman detailed by people like Matt Cubbler do pass the smell test and more. Their comments in regards to TU Bruiser, do not. Just because Matt is likely right about some shit shows, does not mean he’s right about this.

My pops was in nam the whole time. He told me on 4th of July, that he loved it. He was a warrior. He always took the high road. But he was deadly serious. To think that he had stones thrown at him for his actions. At the end of the day he would have done anything to bring home Americans.

Well the new GB chronicles vid dropped.....just speak to eric and the marine who wrote the letter already.

[@oneyankeeone9031]

Nothing is impossible so you mean to tell me that you and your unit cracked the code on the fog of war and made zero mistakes and potentially didn’t cover up for anything that happened come on brother

[@oneyankeeone9031]

What was your command relationship with 3/8? Were you attached, direct support, general support. Those words have meaning and would also tell us if any Lieutenant on the ground with 3/8 would be able to redirect you. If you were in support, you would probably be in support of the battalion and the battalion would direct you and you would probably have communications with an adjacent infantry platoon, but more than likely that platoon wasn’t directing you.

More and more ex service members with 20+ years coming out saying the same thing. Its hard to think its just jealousy.

I'm not military. I'm not even American. British through and through. I've watched all these related podcasts for years. Instantly I knew this was nonsense. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸. Love to all those on the front lines.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3KWl3algrmko8Usi=pzfYCjgOCMI41Dy9 The problem is there is a different story from other military that did the job you're talking about. They didn't write books and aren't as famous but they have a very different story. It's not a new one. I was a boot drop to Graham in the above interview. I remember a lot of my senior Marines angry at this situation. Worth a look

[@Southpaw-qc9gh]

Meh, I still dont believe Jocko. Sorry but I just don’t.

[@elgroucho7563]

I have a brother that was on green team- has nothing but good to say about Jocko and the time they served together

[@elgroucho7563]

They went in on Robert’s ridge, Marcus and Chris, and Rob O niel

[@survivaldoggy]

Glad to hear your side of the story. Information from anonymous sources usually carries little value. If a person tarnishes someone else's name, their name should be on the line as well. Plus, tearing people down usually isn't done with good intentions. God bless.

Everyone knows it was very, very easy to commit war crimes. It was before the age of social media and smart phones. It was chaotic and everyone was in over their heads. And American Units 100% smoked a LOT of civilians down there and nothing came of it. The cases that are being made public and followed up on are few and far between in the context of the overall mayhem that those units caused in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[@follow0siris255]

Jocko thank you for breaking this down very clearly so I can better understand the situation. It hurt to hear someone slandering you and members of your community because I have so much respect for all of you. I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to dig into this and all I can say is thank you for helping clear the air at least about your side of things. Thank you sir

[@joshward3412]

All I need to know is what Eric Deming stands to gain from this besides intense heat and scrutiny. It dosnt make sense to me why someone would bring something like this down on themselves for a lie. Eric has no KZbin channel or any other way to make money off of talking about things he did in the military. I served 6 years in the military with multiple Iraq tours and I damn sure didn’t do it so I could talk about it on the internet and make money.

[@nickjohnson710]

Eric deming is clearly telling the truth .....what has he got to gain? NOTHING! He's setting the record straight on these corrupt SEALS like this wink character who by the sounds of completely reinvented himself because of his poor leadership skills......

You're wasting your time here, you're talking to religious fanatics who worship at this guy's altar. You could show video and they wouldn't believe it.

@@sj6404I’m definitely starting to realize that lol

[@nvlaser9084]

The US military, ESPECIALLY the SEAL community have built a long reputation of lies and spin to cover up their incompetence. From Red Wings to the Chris Kyle BS, they have earned scrutiny. This is why you dont idolize your heros. Very few people are what they appear to be.
