Jocko......I worked for the federal government since 1983. I am now retired. I worked for the Bureau of Prisons since 92 at FCI Ft Dix. Anyway, we were in annual training and the Captain was giving a class. Don't remember the topic. He was a new arrival. Somebody in the class had asked him what he was going to do about the terrible moral that has plagued us for years. His response (and I will never forget this) was: "Your morale is your problem. I have a department to run. Life is too short. If you are not happy, go find your happy place." That comment took my breath away. I couldn't believe he said that. AND got away with saying it. Afterwards, morale never came up as a topic of conversation again. The federal government is LOADED with managers that know nothing about leadership.

Just bought some books on the first Chechen war after watching this podcast. Scary to think that such a brutal war happened in the 90s. Makes other conflicts look like tea parties.

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

Made all the worse by the USSR's recent collapse and anarchic chaos left in its wake. Chechens love to talk tough about beating the Russians (temporarily) not knowing or omitting the fact they had pretty much every single advantage on their side. Their "victory" was far less a result of Chechen genius and more so a result of Russian stupidity.

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

+john coffin "Less soldiers" don't mean shit, especially so in a confined and urban environment, do your homework. Air force and artillery don't mean shit either when the majority of the combat is a matter of metres and yards away from the enemy and endangers your own people, along with the civilian population. Helos are bullet/rocket magnets in urban warfare, as Jocko stated. And for every Chechen collaborator (who could just as likely be feeding disinfo) that "knows that terrain" there's a dozen Chechens who know it better. What's your nationality and background?

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

+mouthman Chechens were armed to the nines with RPG's and other anti-tank weaponry. Bravery alone did not beat the Russians, which is what you are spouting. It takes a high level of stupidity and ignorance to lose the war like Russia did. Again, Russians are not exactly smart, subtle or tactful.

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

+mouthman "Better trained" the Russian conscripts were NOT better trained at all dude, some of them weren't even given a week's worth. "Better equipped" much like the artillery and airstrikes, this should never be viewed as a primary source of strength, least of all in an urban combat environment. Have you listened to nothing Jocko said? Well led, well trained and well disciplined infantryman are the backbone of any conflict and the key to victory. As for Chechens having "no military" being a bad thing it shows how stumped you are in the understanding of Muslims. Muslim "nations" almost never do possess or rely on conventional armies to fight, they almost always fall back on insurgency and guerilla warfare to succeed, often using their own people as meatshields. Muslims have enough zeal and fanaticism to rebalance all kinds of tactical deficiencies, more so than teenage boys fresh out of Russia's schools, god bless their souls.

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

+mouthman Yet they were "aiding and supporting" Chechen/Islamic separatism and Jihadist groups all over Russia's southern borders before the WTC were destroyed? Make your mind up which story you want to go with, my distrust in you and your people already wears desperately thin. Nobody here including myself are denying the Russians often act without thinking and are heavy-handed in all their dealings, but compared to what I've seen produced by the Islamic world, specifically the Chechen one eclipses any previous crimes they may have committed. Every single time I speak to an Arab or Muslim about the endless list of disgusting crimes committed by their Islamic peers, they either outright deny it or subtly show sympathy and understanding for them, NEVER do they genuinely and honestly decry or denounce with words, let alone actions what their diseased brethren have done to the "infidels" who I am proud to be amongst. Unfortunately for you, myself and others like me would not go so swiftly as conscripts of Russia, the schoolchildren at Beslan, office workers of Manhattan, nightgoers of Paris or Manchester etc. we would gladly hunt you down and execute every single of one you. Unfortunately for the West our institutions and retarded public have elected suicide over survival and our militaries are severely restrained as a result 😯

it's worth mentioning the context of the 1st Chechen War. SSSR was collapsing, terrible economical crisis, coups d'état. nouveaux riches oligarchs ruled and bled the country. the army was also in chaos, it lost a huge part of its effective. the last thing Russia wanted was that war. however, the 2nd Chechen War was something very different. the Russian army was reformed and a new strategy was employed. especially it excelled in military intelligence, they managed to pinpoint and eliminate 2 consecutive rebel leaders and their highest ranking officers, plus through politics and diplomacy they brought some important Chechens to the pro Russian camp.

Anybody who has ever stepped into the ring even against a boxer way under his weight class or over the hill, etc, but someone who has boxing training and talent; that person knows how untrue the statement is that an untrained guy can beat a trained boxer. Boxers don't just know how to deliver a punch with force and accuracy and speed, they also can take a punch. Punches that put a typical person, even one in top shape, to the ground in pain, don't phase your typical boxer; it's just part of everyday life. MMA has changed, but up until about 10 years ago, you would still see top MMA fighters get knocked out by punches that a boxer would literally laugh at.

@@michaelb1761 Exactly. The fact that boxing fundamentals are one of the must have skills for MMA fighters (along with wrestling take downs, BJJ ground game and Muay Thai clinch and leg kicks) should prove this point.

There is a great book written by a veteran soldier “One Soldier’s war” and it gives a very good understanding on what it was like being in the military during that time. It was a pathetic and a shameful time for the Russian military.

The russians did not in any way, shape or form care about the civillian population in Chechnya. Look at Grozny in 2001. It was declared the most destroyed city by the UN after the Second Chechen War. And those were russian tanks blowing up those buildings, so to compare the Chechen resistance to Al-Qaeda insurgents is nonsense because they were fighting for their lives in those wars, with every advantage being on the aggressors side.

[@ThePhilstore]

They are compared to AL qaeda because they pushed the same ideology (wahhabism), were proven to be funded by the same source (Saudi Intel) and used the same tactics (terrorism). They also provided many fighters to isis after being defeated militaraly in chechen.

It seems quite a lot of the time that "common sense", doesn't really exist. A basic platform to stand on is missing with a lot of people, which is what causes so many issues when it comes to communication. Assumptions that others share the same "common sense" as you have, can be a misstep. Hence, communication is quite an important factor to work on, and build up between parties in order to find a "common sense", or rather common ground.

Jiles Rodriguez well said... most especially the part '...asuming thing about others, based on personal positions, or otherwise...' *can't possibly underrate this concept. Only speaking personally, the number of times, i was actually wrong, as i expected another to act according to my personal philosophies and modus operandi is many times more* *than it really being about anothers capabilities* *'give me a baby, and i will give you any kind of man'* It's always the trainer/mentor. Your the artist... the pupil the clay... if they fuck up... you did something wrong

[@d.cypher2920]

Btw : that russian/Chechen videos dudes are talking about : ---> *nasty business, if you're job isn't learning to kill, mutilate, maim, terrorize, and instill fear in your enemy, stay clear. I'd say it's mildy traumatic to expose yourself to that shit. Desensitization? Maybe. Healthy? No way.*

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

+d. cypher Many of the Chechen/Jihadist vermin responsible for filming and perpetrating in those videos have long since been terminated and sent to hell by Spetsnaz and other clandestine Russian units. Many more yet to be killed, I hope.

[@utrinqueparatus4042]

+d. cypher The only thing those videos should inspire is revenge, not fear 👍

The Chechen fighters of that war would disowned the Chechen fighters of this war! The only thing Chechen fighters are good for is getting stuck in traffic showing up late to the battle and making sure they got good social media footage! Oh yeah PS they also dye their beards with great ferocity! I don't think they realize with today's high-definition cameras, how silly they look after a couple days of growth without more die to hide their natural hair color!😂
