SEALS are given a target to capture, kill, or destroy, and they're damn good at doing it. Green Berets are given a few camels, maps, and bags of money, and told to topple a government. When I was a teenager, one of my scout leaders was a former Green Beret. He was maybe 5' 5" tall and well into his 60s. The guy hiked out from the bottom of the Grand Canyon in the middle of the night without a flashlight during a thunderstorm by himself. We had hiked down that same day. A bunch of teenage athletes were exhausted and shivering and he treated the whole experience like a walk in the park.

[@tylerbrooks134]

There is a lack of standards in conventional support units, but that’s not specific to one branch. There are infantry companies in the national guard that are better trained and disciplined than active duty support units, or were when they were cycling in combat tours. I believe it is more about the MOS than it is the branch. There is more that goes into the character of the soldier or marine than just boot camp, which seems to be where the perception for most civilians stops.

[@melissarose0126]

My Dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam. He did three combat tours. He was always proud of what he did, and what he accomplished. He taught me to love our military like family. We are different branches of the same family tree, he would say. My Dad passed away last September 2019, buried with full military honors. Listening to you, Jocko, has helped me.

[@philswift1252]

bighand69 Lol they know what their mission is it’s pretty well documented as is a lot of their selection process. Delta has essentially the same mission set as DEVGRU. The main thing that differs is they have different areas of jurisdiction. For example from when the Iraq war kicked off to about 2006, Delta would carry out operations in Iraq while Team 6 had Afghanistan. Somewhere along the line delta started taking heavy losses so DEVGRU got called in near the end of the war into some blended units. Both units were so similarly trained and capable that they were able to seamlessly mix a bunch of their troops without any issue. This is also why DEVGRU got bin Laden, it was just an issue of experience in the area as they had been operating in the eastern Afghanistan region for several years at that point. You can find all of this information and more in books written by former SEALs and Delta guys. Again, this is all pretty well documented.

@@installshieldwizard3017 China bought all the land, precious metals ect. Militarily they may not be there yet but there's a reason for the timing of the Ukraine war... It's all weakening the US petro dollar. US isn't a superpower anymore. China may very well be the next superpower with all the wealth they've accumulated throughout the years by using worthless fiat money to buy actual assets. I believe that's why the US turned on the printer in 2020, the pandemic was just a smoke screen. Notice how the US Dollar index (DXY) actually went up instead of down compared to other currencies, after printing like 25% of the supply in 1 year. They basically created world wide inflation and weaker currencies just buy USD because it's the least risky fiat to hold. I'm pretty sure they knew all that before printing 10.5 trillions of dollars. It's all about the economy now. Russia chose to attack Ukraine just as inflation was high to put pressure on oil prices and benefit from higher export prices. They don't really fight for ideology, it's all about resources and power for these fucking politicians.

My best friend in HS was an airborne ranger and on his leaves he'd travel up with a few of his boys and the stories you'd hear and the antics they'd start was just awesome to be around. I know the shit he went through to get to that level and I respect special forces so much. Havent seen him in a while he went through a bad bout of alcoholism and got stuff straight and married but he pulled away from all his HS guys saying he'd want to go back to that life if he hung with us too much. I respect for his health and his family he needed to do that but I miss him all the time. Me and his wife will DM a few times a year so I can check in. She knew I was the guy who protected him when he was home and wasnt deployed and when he'd be on a bender who would sit next to his bed checking his breathing and that he wasnt throwing up in bed. Everytime we said goodbye I'd say dont be a hero and he'd reply no promises. To this day those were the last words we said to eachother.

We all knew the entire region would rather see us get killed then they would want to help us so whenever you saw another person from the US? It was quite simple arithmetic. It's US vs THEM! That's it, and if you prowled & growled as a ground pounder on the daily in that AO? You relied heavily on any & all friendly assets you were able to find near you. The old cliche' of "One Team, One fight" was actually meant to remind all of us that we were all in this together regardless of your branch or unit. In the end, all that mattered was coming home alive. And we all did everything humanly possible to make sure that happened.

[@KenjiMapes]

Jocko & Tim are amazing. The represent the Navy Seal & Army Green Berets, respectively, in exemplary fashion. Many civilians don’t realize how hard it is to be a professional soldier, even a “conventional” one. You have to know Army customs & obviously things like drill & ceremony. You must be physically fit & always doing PT. You must know your weapons & enemy weapons & vehicles as you have to know what to shoot & not to shoot. Soldiers must know first aid procedures & things like NBC - nuclear, biological, & chemical weapons & equipment. You have to know a lot & in many jobs you have annual proficiency tests. I was in combat arms, namely tanks. We worked on our tanks a lot & had two tanker skills tests annually called TCGST. We did two gunneries a year where we had to do live fires with our tanks to measure our crew & tank skills. We also spent like half the year in the field playing war whether it was down range at out base or training elsewhere like at NTC or JRTC. The combat arms fall under the conventional troops category but it was far more demanding than say a supply or finance job. Soldiers obviously need administrative things as we can’t fight without food & logistics. Those fields have great soldiers but they don’t have to deal with the physically or mentally demanding training we under go. Also, when you’re training it’s either freezing or hot as hell so you’re pretty much always miserable. Plus you’re always sleep deprived. 4 hours is of straight sleep is a luxury in the field. Anyway, special ops guys take it up another notch. They are training non-stop. It’s a wonder how those guys maintain marriages. We were out in the field so much as a conventional soldier. Obviously it’s worse in war time. I got out right as the war started. Anyway, all the special ops guys are bad ass. Army Rangers, Special Forces & Delta. The Army is unique as it has 3 “sub-branches” or special ops soldier. Navy Seals. Air Force PJs are badass. The Marines have Force Recon & Raiders. The Marines have changes some naming & I am not sure if all their stuff falls under MARSOC now. They’ve been changing some orders of battle, naming conventions, etc. My main point is that Jocko & Tim were special ops & likely went to a lot of specialized schools. Many Army SF guys go to Army diving school so they earn an amphibious capability much like the SEALs. Many SEALs go to Army schools. There is Airborne school & Air Assault school. They earn extra badges to wear on their uniforms. Both Tim & Jocko could be cocky & almost sanctimonious about their designations as special ops soldier so it’s amazing to see them give a shout out to regular Army & Marine troops. Many special ops guys do act in a condescending way as they have superiority complex, which is fine. Most don’t but like any place else in life, you have a group of cocky d-bags. The combat units of Army & Marines are no joke. Many soldiers are hardcore & extreme professionals. Not every badass goes to special operations. Props to Jocko & Tim.

[@nyquildays]

They're talking about tools in their toolbox. To work with spooks (what we called all special ops) was like working with super stars. We worked "for" them with enthusiasm. Knowing their mission was not only foremost to the whole mission, we wouldn't be dealing with any bullshit. Zero! Now Marines deal with the big green weenie too much, so zero bullshit and no pain in the ass was like the holy grail of missions. But to cut through my bullshit, it meant we got to tear some mother fuckers up. Tearing mother fuckers up is what we lived for. So the reason they liked our tools better than most is the enthusiasm + professionalism. Have you ever heard marines in a firefight? They are happy, I mean omg, like euphoric. That's the difference.
