Jocko Podcast 53 w/ Echo Charles - "Colder Than Hell." WILL CONQUERS ALL.

[@benpekarek382]

These types of jocko podcasts help me keep everything in perspective. Good stuff!

[@Jwbunde]

Currently reading 'Give Me Tomorrow', It's about George company from 3rd battalion 1 Marine regiment and their drive through Inchon, Seoul, and to their stand at Chosin Reservoir. I am really loving these Korean War books. Keep up the great Echo & Jocko!

[@markchick634]

My Dad was there. He is not with us as of 8 years ago. He enlisted in the Navy after that clusterfuck.This is getting to Me hearing this.

[@tricepsish]

Jocko should pursue a career as a narrator for audio books

[@kellyfj]

+1

[@CircaSriYak]

he could definitely make a few bucks narrating war books

[@moviedude22]

Wonder if it's lucrative enough

[@BradPitbull]

tricepsish yolo

[@lenselifevlog4221]

tricepsish Jocko wouldn’t pursue a narrating career.. a narrating career would pursue Jocko.

[@AssWhole-u6d]

Bedtime stories for men

[@masterdude420]

I already fall asleep to the podcast.

[@matthewchapman2909]

Glad I’m not the only one

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

100% . Jocko should use that name for his pods w no guests and covering books.

[@magalengo]

Peace is a lie

[@michaelkoval8020]

Yes sir!

[@pfan760]

40:38 LIEUTENANT LEE!!!!! An inspiration to all of us Chinese-American men. His spirit lives on.

[@CornMatterToo]

One real hero right there! Makes me proud to be American. Thank you Lieutenant Lee

[@kevinh9110]

Every one of them is an inspiration to all Americans. You should be able to take his skin color and even name away and have the exact same amount of respect for his extraordinary actions.

[@NewKanyeFan]

​@@kevinh9110 the idea is more for 1st generation immigrant Americans with no extended family support stabilised on US ground. Alot of us have grandparents with land or some family foundation in life in our homeland. It's a symbolic patriotism by these people. Their way of saying "I moved to this beautiful country and I worked hard to do good things for it to show thanks and humility to the USA

[@DanielB__]

@Jocko, Frank Bifulk was my grandfather. One thing he never talked about was his time in Korea. Just the fact that he was there, and a Marine. Thank you.

[@kevinh9110]

Is he still alive? It'd be outstanding if he were able to do an interview with Jocko, I can't imagine how honored Jocko would be to speak with your grandfather as well. He responds to requests for interviews on twitter very well.

[@DanielB__]

​@kevinh9110 no he is not. He passed away December 26th in 2007. He lost a fight to cancer at 79. He is with the Lord now. He was a hard working blue collar man. He built houses and worked for the city.

[@Sambo_Shorts]

This was the first Jocko Podcast I ever listened to. I've been a loyal listener ever since.

[@racedriver52]

Joe was my great uncle, pretty cool to see his book being read on this podcast.

[@MrTomkelso22]

I was a Corpsman who served with 3rd Battalion 11th Marines 1st Mar Div. Outstanding unit!

[@sh4rkb4it79]

Thank you for your service, sir

[@jpeeps76]

The best years of my life were spent as a Marine Corps 60mm mortatman! SEMPER FI gents!

[@christianmathison1182]

Jason Peoples fellow 0341

[@skinny2swole]

The final message is very powerful. The greatest obstacle in our comfortable lives is barely a single percentile of the horrors and hardships these men had to overcome. Every goal in our lives is miniscule compared to the insurmountable odds they overcame.

[@ojskrimpsuun528]

couldn't have said it any better

[@scylentdeth3198]

Yep, and it still doesn’t matter. We as a people have fallen too far for messages like that to have the impact they used to. Sad and oh so true

[@tricepsish]

Was reading a bit more on Lt. Lee after this podcast. Guy is a legend; it was interesting how his brave attitude was somewhat spurred on by his determination to prove that Chinese Americans weren't the weak stereotype that he believed existed in the US at the time.

[@henrypaulson5692]

tricepsish LOL, I did the same thing. Dude was a beast!! Makes me wanna be a better human being.

[@kevinzhang3313]

*That DID exist. And exists now among uneducated or presumptuous people. Other Marines serving with him felt he deserved MOH too. Well, just a medal anyway.

Kevin Zhang A damn shame he was never awarded it in this civilian's opinion.

[@unitedstatesofamerica9948]

@ Who knows, a family member or teammate could bring it up again and his citation could be reconsidered. Like Nix Cheque who charged at the enemy,, in their direct line of fire, and gave the ultimate sacrifice. Those citation "promotions" have happened before.

[@unitedstatesofamerica9948]

Jonny Kim, who was an enlisted SEAL in Jocko's task unit, also mentioned in an interview he was determined to disprove Asian stereotypes.

[@jdmpowerd]

2:12:30 A BATTLEAXE!?! Incredible

[@joeschmoe9154]

Marine units often have what we called "pioneer gear".. Picks, Shovels, Spades and Axes. It probably was a regular or maybe a 2 headed ax, not some huge lord of the rings thing

[@gijoey5912]

That part is insanely bad ass. I sometimes listen to it if I need a little motivation.

[@gijoey5912]

2:12:35 we were extremely fortunate the time traveling Viking was fighting for our side

[@TheBreakMonster]

Almost didnt go to a new jiu jitsu gym today. This podcast got me there. Incredible story.

[@salvatoretessio4932]

Chew Een Lee actually responded to an Amazon review of this book back in 2009. Still 100% by the book. 🤣

[@kinggeorgewashington]

US Marine General Oliver Prince Smith ( Berkeley Class of 1916) was a true Hero. During the Korean War. He saved 15000 US Marines. There is a story about him on KZbin. There was pressure to rush North against a bunch of so called chinese laundrymen. Instead he strategically set up the airfields, and set up defenses on the way North. Many think he is the most underrated General in US History. My dad was a Marine in Korea. Thank God General for OP Smith.

[@johnlyssikatos5797]

Another outstanding Podcast - Thank you. Your comments on the brutal cold reminds me of a saying a platoon leader in my company used to say whenever someone complained about being cold: "Unless you think you are going to die, it is not cold."

[@DCoinDcoin]

53th podcast and I am going to listen to every single one of them. Great book, great messages.... especially the testament to human will. Let this be a great privilage to learn from war, but I hope for all of you you never experiance war. Thank you Jocko for this effort!

[@tipr8739]

My Dad was adopted in 1953. I just found out the reason he was put up was the parents weren’t married yet and both came from very devout Catholic families. They couldn’t get married because the father was in Korea and the mother was stateside and they had let their passions get the better of them on Liberty. Did some research and this man was a Pfc. at the time in the 1st Batallion, 1st Marines and fought at Inchon and Chosin. His MOS was 0311. They got married as soon as got out and had two more kids.

[@kellyfj]

Just an epic read - just epic. My wife's Granddad (age 93!) served in Europe (104th Infantry Division) and I wish he could hear your reading. Just great stuff.

[@BradPitbull]

THE JOCKO PODCAST MAKES AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

[@jarheadlife]

While in boot camp at Paris Island we were able to eat lunch with Marines that were some of the Chosin Frozen. Awesome guys just wish we could have gotten their names. Nov. of 1987. Semper Fi Marines!!

[@dakodaweldon8508]

I just vibrated with excitement and awe in the the audacity of the big battle axe Marine!

[@MagicMarker447]

It's a damn shame that people these days protest the flag and anthem that these men fought and died for. Makes me sick.

[@jon1039]

The flag my fellow service members fought and died for represents the right to disrespect anything without legal repercussions.

[@nikolasnsasi3249]

That's true but history repeats itself think of how native people who have pride in their way of life

[@kevinzhang3313]

They should clarify it, put Trumps flag on it and burn it while holding up an untainted American flag

[@theodoricthegoth4027]

I hate it, but that’s the freedom they have, and should have Or else we are no better than communist country’s. Semper.

[@animula6908]

They fought and died for freedom, so as long as people burn flags they bought themselves instead of mine, I don’t let it get to me. My dad who fought in Vietnam taught me that.

[@FlightOfJatayu]

Holy shit! Jocko trying out a British accent at 2:30:42!!! Pure gold!!!

[@ro514]

Iv listened about 10 tines on repeat im in stitches

[@TS-vr9of]

"Those Bastards, Those Magnificent Bastards."

[@lauriepenman7154]

I was absolutely transfixed and quite literally ran from domestic duties back to listen. Thank you Sirs.

[@mjki4mm2]

What an amazing podcast. Cheers from Kuala Lumpur.

[@sargebeats]

GOOD DAGGONE FRIGGIN' EVENING GENTS

[@TheJunedale]

I listened to this and the Puller episodes to give me some idea what my Dad went through in Korea. No wonder he left part of his soul there. RIP those old souldiers.

[@cookiecrusher0875]

Love this book. Thank you both!

[@RenoPuz]

They're fired up. Back to the book!

[@mikemorgan5015]

Lt. Lee was a straight up badass. I was both laughing and in awe reading this book. The part where he was wearing the high viz vest walking around leading his men with bullets flying and impacting all around him.

[@ascension2281]

That forward gives me chills every time, Damn good.

[@dvs1674]

Semper fi. Thank you sir.

[@0num4]

>3 hours! Jocko is seriously getting after this one. WARPATH!

[@mikedeluca3378]

GOOD EVENING.....BOOM GIT' AFTER IT!!!!

[@N3VIUS]

I listened to this 3 times twice on iTunes and here on KZbin and watching you read and talk is always so much better!! You should go live it always uploads to KZbin anyway

[@jardo531]

How could anyone dislike these podcasts? It would be great if you read these great books for audiobooks. I would purchase without hesitation.

[@mrs8171]

KIM jung Un voted over and over and over....

[@don.hinton]

Thanks. I definitely plan to read that book. Semper fi...

[@mitchcohn1800]

You know there are more then Just the NAVY and MARINES , Us ARMY guys Do Very Well....! 82AA 🇺🇸

[@mrs8171]

Absolutely and there are a few good books about the travesty of upper echelon leadership that led to the horrible events involving the Army units on the eastern side of the reservoir. Sad, tragic, heroic stuff. Those guys got screwed and that is coming from a Marine. Poor leadership & support.

[@mistermusik]

Excellent podcast. Glad I'm catching up on the backlog of these. It seems the Korean war doesn't get talked about as much as almost any other war. I believe chasm is pronounced with a hard C, not Ch.

[@pete8299]

The marine attacking the Chinese position with a battleaxe is a legend

[@RyleeGassin]

My go-to episode when i feel soft and lose that perspective of how good i truly have it. If these men of rifle company can withstand these conditions, then i can surely see that my circumstances right now are nill in comparison.

[@06livefast]

Up before the enemy.

[@raywade5845]

Giving this episode a second listen... 62 lbs and 80 lbs kettlebells, a pull-up bar, a Jocko podcast, in a 39 degree garage gym... no comfort sought...

[@publius5128]

"I LOVE TANKS", what a shock! Lmao.

[@craftpaint1644]

Everytime I hear one of these Korean War stories I wonder "where are the tanks, where are the flamethrowers, where is the air support, where are the BAR men in the squads? During the war in Pacific the Army and the Marines had all those things and now none of it?" 🙅🇺🇲

[@jonroehr2931]

On my second tour through Jockos' podcasts and it just gets better! I can just see Jocko pulling a Colonel Walter E Kurtz (Apocalypse Now) in training. Thank you for reminding me of those who gave everything for me!

[@MrKfq269]

Jocko, can you do a series on the Chinese or North Korean perspective on the war. I'm sure there were Chinese or NK servicemen that wrote books on their experiences in the war.

[@DRF1001]

#GoodEvening

[@Tittos_E_36]

That little smile before saying the facebooky booha gets me every time 😂😂

[@barry3045]

jocko and echo reading me a bed time story .

[@firehorse_44alpha-omega]

ALWAYS doog to revisit podcasts from days of yore .... An epic hard won saga called KOREA .... Thank you troop ....Thank you gentlemen...

[@Fuhrious]

Echo Charles is like Jocko's kid occasionally asking questions which Jocko patiently answers.

[@vincepanico188]

This is great stuff.

[@farmerdave286]

2:12 Battle Ax! Get some !!!

[@EchoCharlieActual]

'Howitzers....big bombs that come from the sky.....' Yep, sounds pretty accurate to me. Keep up the excellent podcasts Jocko and Echo. Id love to know the back story on how 'supporch' became a thing

[@sfg206]

You saved my life, no joke

[@cttrip9071]

Liquidd get after it

[@steventhompson399]

One of my grandfathers served as a marine in Korea, he never talked much about it, just mentioned it was extremely cold, and he saw lots of Chinese pla soldiers used like cannon fodder in wave attacks, and he pissed on and dumped water on heavy machine guns because they were overheated... turns out he was at or near chosen when the Chinese pushed back but we didn't know that til after he died, my grandmother told us he had nightmares that caused him to wake up sweating in the middle of the night... I can see why he didn't want to talk about it... he kept an old ammo box from the machine gun that my dad still has

[@ReelTimeStrategies]

2:12:51 Best story I've ever heard.

[@SGUSOMUSA]

Marine core discipline. I am so proud of these Americans. 2:17:42

[@yve3549]

Good evening

[@MrCharlesv361]

Where can I find these supplements Echo is talking about having a bunch of crushed up ephedra in it?

[@Phantom2316]

Thank you gentleman

[@peter__trann]

Good evening friends, let's get after it!

[@eriksoltvedt7552]

GOOD. Evening

[@HalfManThirdBiscuit]

Good goddamned evening.

[@Mdaddarioe]

huh?

[@ChemicallAli]

Will you be going through A Rumor Of War? As a new listener not sure if you have covered the vietnam war or if you have covered PTSD. Just curious because I remember this being a powerful book in my understanding about the effects of war.

[@utb15281]

Great podcast. "Onnit Stuff" portion upgraded. New info.

[@MrKfq269]

I just looked at a satellite image of Yudam-Ni. 145 buildings standing. 1 group of buildings look like a prison with a perimeter wall or fence and 3 buildings that form a "U" in the center with some other buildings surrounding.

[@MrKfq269]

I found every north Korean village mentioned in this video on Google maps.

[@catt99mahal8]

Good evening Echo, Jacko, and ALL ALPHA MEN in the comment section! 😎💪

[@geesuperb2]

Just ordered the white tea.

[@kevinzhang6623]

I've heard it said that if not for Chew Een Lee, no soldier or Marine would have survived the Chosin Reservoir.

[@kellyfj]

Quick thought on "Psychological Warfare" - considering buying it but would love to sample it first but iTunes won't let me sample?

[@kevinh9110]

Owen even wrote in his foreword that Lee deserved more recognition for his actions, along with one Corporal who deserved recognition and his wife.

[@bobcrossman9400]

Jocko "I'm not reading the entire book" Willink

[@poiken1]

Good evening. Good.

[@mayhem250]

I have no idea if you guys read the comments here but you should definitely invest in pop filters for you microphones. That would give a huge production quality boost to already an excellent podcast. Cheers.

[@ragrle]

All great books

[@JamaaLS]

1:12:00 this podcast is deep

[@eshagcom3742]

I love back to the book...

[@steezymacken1]

GOOD EVENING

[@robroberts1473]

good evening troops!

[@NikCasto]

Love Jocko, Echo, and the pod, but why so many adds now? There's an add every 5 mins 😂

[@barry3045]

Im cold as hell right now , and ive never been happier.

[@Kuba405]

Good evening. Porra!

[@legionarulsquad6676]

Geting after it

[@GrandMasterWu777]

Good morning.

[@nickbloch1288]

Love the podcast. GOD BLEES ALL OUR HEROS WHO SERVED. ARE SERVING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ONES WHICH PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

Jocko should write cards hallmark. With a little speaker where he narrates it.

[@comus3]

Good Evening? it looks like the middle of the day outside

[@scaldeddogengineeringcolle7004]

That's Marine Will Jocko when they fall into ranks. Not Human Will.

[@MrKfq269]

At 1:25:44 General MacArthur running the war from Japan was a great insult to the South Koreans. The Japanese were the direct cause of the division between Korea. Couple that with a decades long brutal occupation and annexation of the peninsula.

[@LRS71]

Did someone say PRESTIGE WORLDWIDE?

[@pauljohansen719]

Boats and hoes

[@salvatoretessio4932]

Lee should have been known as the Chesty Puller of his generation and probably was in the Marine Corps. Get his Medal of Honor approved!

[@apachedisco]

I stopped being 100% sober to about 10%. just sayi ng.

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

This one cuts to the core, as it should.
