Jocko Podcast 48 with Echo Charles: "I Fought with Custer" | How Ego can Kill You

[@alex_frijolero]

Jocko you should get Custer in as a guest

[@WasabiWei]

Ha!

[@rickeycoats1790]

And Wooden Leg....let them talk it out.

[@SeemaParsapour]

Rip

[@DRFelGood]

Custer had it Coming

[@johnz6241]

An AI of Custer

[@CornMatterToo]

That story with the man and his horse is heart breaking

[@dustyoberg6687]

somehow my algorithm has sent me back to the few beginning episodes I've missed, but definitely not disappointed. its cool to see how much the podcast has changed, yet is still true to itself. thanks jocko, warrior kid series has been purchased and given to my relatives. my wife is now a fan.

[@paulborowski591]

I just found this one, too. Cheers. Have you seen the podcast with Rose Schindler?

[@blaze-mh9eg]

Jocko + American history = awesome podcast

[@richardripp1891]

Couldn't agree more also when he's talking with/about his men

[@calska140]

That story about pig felt like someone punched me in the heart and just kept that pressure. Horses love their people. If only vice versa were always true. Goddamn

[@30yearoldgrom]

Another great episode Mr Jocko & Mr Echo. I can't even begin to imagine how some of the things explained in this book would have been when seeing it with your own eyes. Your closing on this episode was solid. 💪

[@nicmccord7321]

5 star !! Can't get enough of this podcast

[@ledfarmer100]

Amazing podcast. This should have many more views

[@stigmsr1]

Sounds like Jocko was in good hands with Zulu. If a man knows his motors personalities, you can trust those motors.

[@okrazerback]

Great read. I have been to the Black Kettle national memorial site in Cheyenne, OK. You can look out over the site of the massacre that took place there. They also have a museum near by.... The Washita river got its name when explorers were traveling across the plains and came to a river and one said, "Washit, a river". Sorry, old surveyor ' s joke. Fallen Outdoors Veterans Day 5K this Sunday in OKC. Gonna get some. Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for your service!

[@rocistone6570]

It occurs to me that something else might be worthy of mention here. Custer was, in a sense, a victim of his training and experience. When you are faced with an OPFOR on their own ground, under conditions favorable to the enemy, a Leader has to be able to "think outside the box". The truth is that Custer was in his own box, made of his ego, and his own lack of willingness to adapt. There was no way 600 or so men could have won an all-out battle with the Tribes that day. But what Custer might have done is to make a Retirement in Order, in essence, a fighting retreat, drawing the Indians with himthat might have allowed him to join up with the other Cavalry Units (Crook), rather than dashing headlong into a situation where Custer was outnumbered perhaps 5-to-1 on enemy ground. If his mission overall was to help hold the Sioux, until Cavalry and infantry could concentrate, diving headlong into the Indian camp, was the last thing he ought to have done. Custer's ego had help, because Custer did not look to the overall Stategy of the Camapign as a whole.

[@RodrigoRamirez-eq6gj]

Good morning from this side of the world gents. Getting after it.

[@rogue-ish5713]

Good lessons.

[@WailOfDoom]

Great podcast, learned a lot, thank you Mr. Willink

[@WasabiWei]

I like that Echo mentions environmental values. If you are On It, you must leave things better than you found them. Surely with Jocko having kids, he supports as solid a future as we can manage according to how hardcore we are. It takes discipline! Man up and make it better by carrying your own weight plus one for champions.

[@localsixsurfer]

I do all the purchasing for my company, been using the Amazon link lately. Hopefully that is helping out

[@Snollygoster-]

Totally irrelevant to your awesome contribution to the podcast. I have a shirt of your avatar, one of my favorite pictures and never expected it to pop up on a jocko video. Brightened my day.

[@JadePX]

1:57:45 -ish ... Jocko just appears with a knife

[@sd09gfh8sfgjmsf9yhkm]

kukri

[@WasabiWei]

I notice that it is not uncommon for a guest or host to fondle a knife. These guys are right after my own heart. There is something primordially reassuring about a proper blade in hand, even when no threat is present. It is one of those 'old tools' we have evolved with for so long that at this point it just feels right, no pun intended.

[@tyrnordmann5580]

I was waiting for the Ghurka who gave it to him to appear from somewhere unexpected. But since he unsheathed the blade and didn't seem to have drawn blood he apparantly doesn't know the tradition so I might be wrong.

[@adamfisher9674]

I barely watch usually, but all of a sudden, I look up and Jocko is sitting there like fucking Jason Voorhees with his kukri. "If I had another son, his name would be bloody knife." That's good shit. Why isn't that on a shirt?

[@sargebeats]

GOOD EVENING

[@FlightOfJatayu]

Thumbs up for the MF DOOM picture

[@danieleigh3]

I'm on the Krill Oil from ONNIT too! Supporting the Podcast! I did my background on the Krill Oil from Onnit too. You have to know what your putting into your body! Plus love the discount too!

[@tigerdocsdc]

At time stamp 2:02.43 the "Commander's" intent is: "The big message here is, don't eat doughnuts"

[@pc-0167]

Jocko can you please have more guests on? nothing against mr. echo.

[@peter__trann]

Good evening friends :) let's get after it!!

[@whitecloak11]

Can you imagine the murderous rage of coming home and finding your wife and children savagely killed and the guys who did it are a couple miles away and want a fight, a man who lost everything and nothing to live for is a fierce opponent.

[@jooksin6244]

Custer and his forefathers before him devastated the balance of the world, and he paid the ultimate price.

[@GregoryWolfen]

This is awesome! I am excited to read this book.

[@pickitup7008]

Very humbling to hear the stories of the American Indian wars. I am at odds with everything because the Indian just wanted to live there free lives, but most soldiers are just doing what they were told

[@jeffmcgrath8718]

🙏🙏for those here and afar

[@shanecyclesdotcom]

Interesting political undertones in recent podcasts :)

[@cisoperez9423]

Just get after it:)

[@ericfuller5568]

...part of my morning ritual now!!!! F.ckin Jocko!

[@alexandercrespolugo1744]

Puedes dar tu opinion del triunfo de trompo? We think is a step back in our society and sophistication.

[@thewize]

"Back to the krill oil" T-shirt?

[@arsplastiques]

Bring back the mug! Please.

[@lokisith69]

Surprised you didn't pause for comments on the command to "turn them into good indians"....great podcast!

[@SeemaParsapour]

I wonder if, since the onset of the Jocko Podcast, donut sales have plummeted

[@JP-sm1zv]

No way did they leave custer's body alone, this is some fabrication to protect his wife. They would have gone to TOWN on his body, for sure.

[@jgray7857]

As much as he was hated, he was also really respected. The only think that was done to him was he had needles shoved in his ears, because he refused to listen. He had prior incountors with some of the Native Americans who fought him.

[@brianwood308]

They shoved an arrow up his ding dong. They left it out of the autopsy so his wife didn't know

[@whitecloak11]

They should have brought the gatling and had winchesters instead of those terrible single shot rifles where the cartridge would expand after being fired and jammed the weapon..

[@utb15281]

knife appears to be a kukri

[@randomlyweirdjeff4638]

Custer was mutilated, they gouged out his eardrums so that I the next life he'd hear better. A lot of the mutilations were done for spiritual reasons. Custer and his men were brave, as brave as the warriors and the men on Reno hill.

[@kimjongskillz9511]

can anyone reccommend some really good movies on custer or the american indian wars. something recent? or documentary

[@DanielGarcia-cf4us]

Too much.... liberty, yes... 100% But not oppression

[@whitecloak11]

I wonder how bloody knife got his name lol

[@speznik9588]

That "oldish" video effect is not my style. Other than that another outstanding podcast. GOOD evening, troopers!

[@antwannn111]

SpezNik By oldish you mean black and white...?

[@speznik9588]

The black and white is cool and the podcast's trademark so to speak. I mean that grainy effect. It's too much of grainy in my humble opinion. But nevermind, Echo let go of it in the following videos.

[@antwannn111]

SpezNik Oh hahaha my bad. I thought you were trying to explain the black and white and it literally broke my brain. Looks like he took your advice.

[@domenicdimassa9321]

Don’t go down the donut slope

[@jaredknuckles9507]

I am a distant nephew of Custer.

[@jooksin6244]

Just don’t commit mass genocide and you won’t end up like him

[@nickbloom6861]

[@SugarMilkbro]

Alpha head bro

[@bibby1391]

Daaaaaum I didn’t know jocko an og crip bruh, homie callin out niggahs for bein custers

[@Pauliey365]

Btf.

[@JAMESJACKSON-sj2qm]

Custer died for your sins

[@JoeCiliberto]

Jocko, Echo, this podcast makes me think of papers written by Gen Flynn (ISAF-J2), BGen Hall (USFK-J2) and a book called, Rethinking The Way We Fight (I think), which is a compendium of papers written by all kinds of war fighters, diplomats, thinkers, and experienced press. These papers emphasized the effects war and hostilities have on the locals and how the locals' sentiment effects not only how the bad guys fight, but how they recruit and get local support. As you described the desecration of the fallen cavalry soldiers after Little Big Horn, and your description of the Cheyenne fomenting pure hatred for the Soldiers, does it make you think about your time in Iraq, and your work with the locals while fighting the insurgents. Maybe it's just a rhetorical discussion; I don't mean to waste your time. I just see the story happen over and over, the cycle of soldier, local and adversary. Maybe the cycle is unavoidable. Many try to crack the code to make what we do militarily, diplomatically, and through humanitarian and economic efforts, end the anger and misery of war. Wish we could find its enigma machine.

Ted Nugent saved the Great White Buffalo at least. (Btw, Buffalo is both singular AND plural.) “Look at all the buffalo!”
