Kamil we fight with you boys. The battle will be won one day brother.

Kamil much love and respect to you my man

kamil fair enough

Welcome to America Kamil

kamil fasho brother...go bucs

Sir I have a question for you. There is a gentleman here who claims there are holes in Sergeant Dakota Meyer's story. Since you know this man better than any of us. Is there anything to back up this man's claim? When I see sergeant Meyer speak I see no signs of deception and I genuinely see a sincere man speaking from the heart. The way he denies his heroism and claims he failed doesn't look like a man whose lying... Just thought I'd ask you since you were as one could say "on the inside". Any rumors of lies or anything like that or is this a person fishing for something to find that disputes what Meyer's has said. Thank you ahead of time if you even feel this warrants a response. And I understand if it does not.

@Ben Warner dude why would the helicopter footage look that intense?! Like it makes perfect sense to me that the enemy would try to hide while the helicopter is hovering over head with rockets and gatting guns. They were there for 20 to 30 minutes right? So why don't you think it's possible that when they fly off to reload or whatever the enemy comes back out into the open and the firefight picks up. It's not only plausible it makes perfect sense. Just the simple fact that there even is a fire fight going on while they have air support of such close proximity makes you wonder how hardcore this engagement was. Do you see what I mean?

@Ben Warner and to answer your first question again. There's a quarter million people who debate the roundness of Earth. We're talking about a quarter million people who think Earth is flat.... just because a large number of people debate the legitimacy of a theory that does not mean their theory is legitimate.

@Ben Warner c'mon man... Your telling me the video you watched of this operation was from a helicopter so high up you cannot see it with the naked eye. Yet you say they were low enough to make out different people. Get your story straight son. Is a helicopter capable of flying so high. Ya maybe. Was it? Nope. They don't provide COVER for troops at 10,000 feet bro... Look I feel like your either trolling of fishing for reasons for this man to be wrong. If your not an expert at deception than stop trusting yourself to be an expert at deception. Look into the Dunning Kruger effect. It's a phenomenon that accurate when someone is so uneducated on a topic that they lack the knowledge to understand how little they know. So someone who knows very little might feel like he knows alot because he just doesn't understand what he doesn't know. Or rather is incapable of understanding how much he doesn't know and feels educated and smart on any given subject. When you hear veterans blowing the whistle listen. Until then trust but verify. And I have verified your story when I shouldn't have even trusted you. Your fishing not an expert leave the facial feature analysis for someone who went to school for it.

@Ben Warner in an attempt to keep this peaceful I'm going to have to stop this debate. I respect your opinion but I strongly disagree sir. I hope your wrong but I will never deny the possibility that your right. So thank you for attempting to inform me, perhaps the fault lies with me.

Myself and a bunch of buddies are just sick over what we're seeing. Some of us went in in the late 80s early 90s and now retired or retiring after 25 and 30 yrs. Even more of us are medically retired and busted up for whatever life we've got left. It makes me physically ill what has happened in this ending

A place can only 'Fall' if you have 100% control over that real estate. With all do respect if Alexander the great, The British and Russian Empires got their arses kicked in Afghanistan; what ever made you think that the US would have been any more successful? The USA used the wrong resources and strategy; not utilising your EXCELLENT special forces, advanced tech and comms was a huge mistake. Like other conflicts; this conflict was fought via the balance sheet and the boardroom.

@@63Baggies Afghan republic fell. Well, I dont even have face to call it a republic. that degenerate named Ghani... He knew from the beginning. It's not failure its betrayal.

@@hannibalburgers477 That may very well be true, but I'll put my mortgage on the fact that the situation is way more complex than that. Hannibal the truth is that no one appears to learn lessons from places such as Afghanistan; they have a well worn saying in that country "invaders may have all the clocks and watches; but we have all the time" this proves that they're happy playing the 'long game'. That Copper and Iron isn't worth the human cost in lives whether they be Afghan, US, British or other Nato guys; the businessmen and lobbyists manipulating congress should leave them alone and find another way to make more tax free profit.

@@OldSchoolParatrooper you were in the US army?

That was straight out of a movie. That's a real friend right there, a Brother.

Badass….. all I gotta say

@@Limb0117 amén 🙏✝️💜😇

And the fact that when the time came, he kept his word, he was in the shit right there with him, legendary. A true brother right there.

@@mojosrecoveryandherbalreme6567 Hotrod is the fucking MAN!!!

HOLD ON HOMIE... Legit warriors right here!!

Ben Warner You hear this guy tho, he naturally takes the lead in most situations. He like a mother hen. Na, just jokes... I see your perspective, but I give him the benefit of the doubt (Not that I’d know what deliberately tempting death on a daily basis is like and as such, realise I don’t really have a fuckn clue what it feels like and what effects it has on a psyche when experienced in successive experiences.) he said a few things that resonates with my own childhood. Go back and have another listen to his upbringing. Dunno how u were raised and what experiences you may have had but in cases like Mr Meyers, the level of passion, intensity and discipline it instils is impossible to meaningfully convey with a few typed words.

Ben Warner Point taken. You think he did all this for a book deal? Or is there more to this story that isn’t mentioned here?

@Ben Warner you sound like a racist south african bastard...so i get why you don't like him calling an afghani "brother." I also don't believe SHIT you've said about combat...racist fuck

@Ben Warner yeah yeah yeah you're a fucking military badass and Dakota is not right? Never mind the investigation and eye witness accounts verifying what he stated. I didn't know they just GIVE you the MoH for telling a great story. And i don't give a fuck about your experience, you keep rattling it off in evey comment like we are suppose to validate you in some way. Sorry we don't care about your story bud.

Howl 2k wat

David R me too , I listened to the Rogan and this podcast in entirety today during my tour today . Also ordered his book . As if I need more fuel to feed my PTSD !! Stay safe

12/5 brother.

Frank Migliore..... look into that shot in the neck treatment Dakota got brother!

Semper fi.

It shows how genuinely interested in the person he's interviewing. It's like he's asking those questions not for his viewers, but himself.

4 friends who would switch me one day to have one more day! On Sept. 11, 2001 three very good friends and coworkers road a UAL 757 into a field in Pennsylvania that was hijacked. There are many accounts of the deeds on that aircraft and some of them are disputed by crews working the flight line at Langley AFB that day. Not about the heroic actions of the passengers, but what caused the aircraft to crash. I'll never know the truth, but do know that we sent a lot of good young men and women, including my son to fight a war that was lost by the incompetency of the leaders.

@@bionicsjw the united states government orchestrated 9/11 along with saudi arabia and israel to pull the crank on the military industrial complex. maybe one day the people involved will be held accountable for their actions

@@codylowrey6955 facts.

@@bionicsjw hey brother I'm just trying to make people think... I don't care how fast a 757 air plane was flying when it crashed.... IT WILL NEVER DISINTEGRATE INTO LEAVING NO PARTS LEFT, AND LEAVE JUST A "HOLE IN THE GROUND" it literally can not happen that way. Ever. Think with your brain and not with your emotions. So we're supposed to believe that... Not 1 Not 2 But 3 jet engines hit the ground so hard in a dirt field no less... that it vaporized all 3 engines with titanium parts?? A lot of great America's died that day. But not one of them died in that DIRT FIELD. IMPOSSIBLE. BE SAFE ALL.

That was the manliest shit I've ever heard. That dude is a savage.

CHECK!

This is gonna be a movie for sure

Disagree! This shouldn't be slaughtered by Hollywood. This Heroic man deserves better than that, and I honor him. Well done, and thank you! SGT Dakota Meyer, you did not fail for lack of heart, your command failed you and therefore I don't see you as a failure. Your my Hero! Bless you!

If anyone makes this movie they better not fuck it up.

I'd pay for it

I need this to happen

Son of a bitch Im in 🙌🏽

@@StevenMoyleReacts HA!

I was thinking the same thing

TukinLikeAMufugga wow so right great assessment! Dam right

I agree. A couple of the moments of silence were a gut punch. You could here so much in that silence.

I thought about that too- absolutely. The silences were so poignant-

And jocko sighing

@@livewellwitheds6885 Sighing with great effort to control his obvious Rage

Yup! Way better choice!

Same bro

@@cameronprice931 Not a ton of time, when does it get good...

Yep I had to watch it seeing how it effected the both ofem

Exactly what I did too. So many emotions evoked in this podcast, Rogan could not do this guys experience justice, had to be Jocko, truly amazing and poignant

Yes there is: What a bunch of horse crap! Damn em to hell.

Unbelievable

I dont get that? why? like rivalry or something?

@@justinryce408 I’d assume something simple like army not wanting to use ordinates for marines when marines should use they’re own. I’m only assuming. Danger close mission was still called so it’s not like they were breaking any ROEs

Yeah I came into the comments to understand this.. tell me the book Jack nobody wants to talk about this? Is a rivalry or operations or what?

This episode

Completely agree.

At the minimum, every officer in charge in the military.....

every free human should hear this podcast and Dakota's story.

Well said! I've read Dakota's book as well, and never in my life have I been that emotionally affected by a book.

You're not lying bro. I almost teared up a couple times. I felt it coming, but quickly swallowed it.

@@rezonite Oh man, I hear ya!! It's such a incredible book cover to cover and I think everyone needs to read it at least once.

@@peterhayes4990 I was assuming that it would be ok, nothing special. This interview was incredible.

Couldnt have said it better myself. What a heavy conversation. This man has my eternal respect.

Sebastian Saldivar it takes someone like him to do these things. Give people rank you and they get unwilling to take risks for anybody else. True fact of life. It’s generally the people low on the totem pole who make heroes. The young, the broke, those with no ambition or prospects. Those who are pariahs and pilloried by their peers. Greatness comes in the low more often than in the high places of life. That’s the norm, not the exception.

@tooklongenough humble beginnings

@tooklongenough We are talking about reality here. Keep the silly bronze-age fairy tale woowoo, in the fiction section, where it belongs.

@@corettaha7855 yep

Your reply should be at the top. As a title.

I agree wuth you shane

I was for real thinking the same thing while listening to this

Shane Jones Jocko should narrate every military audiobook

Cameron C jocko should narrate every book.

Legit was thinking the same thing

Damn right

just because ur mom and his dad doesn't mean....

Almost teared up man

Realest words every spoken. Some times your family ain’t shit and the guy beside you is your brother to the end.

@@klassky17kingklassky81 so true

Respect!

haha exactly what I did. It's so fucking intense

Me , wanted to here what these guys say since I'm shipping for the army soon as 12B

Same here

Haha

Yep

Me too 🤣🤣🤣

Just did the same. 😁

Some holy shit up in this podcast.

Same! I had to listen to this one first before I could finish the JRE podcast.

Ditto

I went private sector after I got out. Me and a few others were known for our ability to not sleep for days. Those occurances relayed to us back then is why. Stay alert stay alive

Gay

let's talk with. And then Kyle carpenter came out, what a story!

Respect

Yep..

goosebumps and tears.

Woke up to this Podcast going and restarted watched all the way threw as someone who can't say I've been in combat, but to feel the pain of loosing brothers and people who meant the most to me this podcast hit home! Seriously just gave me a better perspective on life an others and how I should move forward and life, and keep pushing because you need to push for those who can't no more.

made Jocko need to compose himself.

Hit me like a fucking train.

I was just scrolling through the comments when I read yours as Dakota said it. Crazy.

Deepest shit I ever heard

"BTB" Should be his call sign.

@tooklongenough Not funny, and highly disrespectful to the dead, the wounded, and the deeply-scarred survivors. Sounds like you would benefit from a big bite of reality from the sandwich of life. Then we'd see how quick you'd be to make jokes about such things. Nothing like what Dakota went through, mind you (I wouldn't wish that on an enemy), but just something harsh enough to teach you there are certain subjects you just don't joke about. Not cool, man. Not cool at all.

Indeed man. Heavy subject no doubt. Much respect.

@@Quazi-moto are you seriously speaking for Dakota? And you're telling the poster to basically go get hurt in retaliation for a KZfaq comment? You're not listening to Dakota. We need less pain, not more. Chill out

@@barretcoe4841 You're right about the less pain, not more. And my comment _was_ partially a knee jerk reaction. But I never wished physical harm on him. I'm not THAT bad. There are plenty of things that could happen that don't involve injury that could teach that guy to respect what these 2 men stand for and represent. I'm also not speaking for Dakota, but in defense of him and all the others that suffered that day. They aren't here to do it, so I took it upon myself to speak out against this unacceptable level of disrespect. Like it or hate it, right or wrong, that's what I did. But you can't hate it TOO much because it's basically what you just did to me in defense of tooklongenough.

@tooklongenough Lol. Lol.

dal cassian Well said and couldn't agree more. Have you read Dakota's book?

Very true. KZfaq Dakota and Jocko. Dakota just interviewed Jocko because Jocko is HIS hero. And it's just as deep, if not deeper.

Iverson Gandy, III no shit lol I’ll b on to that next

@@iverson862 thanks for the heads up

@@peterhayes4990 twice. It's such a good read. I think the last time I read it was in 2015. Time for a re read.

That’s one of the biggest problems today. Less than 3% of our population has served or has an immediate family member who has served. The majority of our population looks at war & foreign deployments from a point of political opinion. They don’t realize these guys don’t give two shits about politics. They care about each other ..... the guy next to them. They fight for each other and they fight for this country.; not for some political ideal. Our citizens need to be learning about those who serve and stop with all their political opinions like these men & women are pieces on a chess board. They are people just like the rest of us who have something inside of them that most don’t and that’s why they serve.

@@CarolinaNocked couldn't have said it better myself. The courage to risk your life for ideals you believe in is unreal. Putting political differences aside and fighting for the men next to you and for people you don't even know! Truly Heroic

Goddamn right

@@CarolinaNocked The road to hell is paved with good intentions.... These guys can have zero political interest or motivation but they are sent to these places by politicians, no war has been started just to maintain some sense of brotherhood...Wars are fought for power, resources, revenge etc and that right there is the realm of politics. I say this as someone who has served(not American) the problem is people WILL come together in hard situations regardless of morality and that's not what we need. The Germans didn't do what they did to keep the concentration camps going they did it for brotherhood etc and all of that makes me respect a Wehrmacht soldier but not happy they did it.

Crying? Wtf

@@uncledunk5532 Jocko and Dakota both tear up multiple times. Wtf did you watch?

@@knight33533 they were actually witness to it not sat on a sofa listening to the srory. Jog on

PUSSY!

@Big Bad Mike Obunga Bro just read list of all your comments all you do is troll. You a wangster son. Hide behind a fake name like that.. Irl you get smacked the fuck up and more then likely you do so that's why you internet pussy boy. Maybe you need some emotion in life to release your childish behavior. I'm sorry for whom ever touch you wrongly in life. God bless you

Same here man, hearing jocko start to choke up at @ 1:30.55 got me

NIIIIQQ 100%

lol 100%

I'm here because of it, and speechless, hurt and angry. Wow. But also left in admiration

Lmao Rogan helped Jocko to start it in the first place.

Yep I'm 22mins in now.

Remington Pearson That statement makes no sense. You said the same thing twice but in a different way.

@@smghero585 you didn't understand it.

Paul Fugate I understand it. The wording is just a little off.

@@smghero585 He drove to a random parking lot and found himself in the middle of nowhere with a gun to his head. When he pulled the trigger, the gun didn't shoot. In that moment, he realized he wanted to live, thus finding himself (in the middle of nowhere). Get it?

Remington Pearson As I said I understood it I just said the wording was off and I think it’s a good quote.

Vanessa Lanzas You won't regret it. Life changing book!!

Peter Hayes agreed, and after you read it you won’t be able to stop coming back here to hear him talk about it

Gi Joey it is life changing. I started To wear sunglasses indoors and take pictures of myself like you. I never had social media until this week. But I bought glasses and posed and took pictures of myself. My wife thinks it’s cheesy as fuck. But I was like this is what women like. Look at me indoors with sunglasses on I also wear sunglasses at night.

Amen bro, somebody once said ''knowledge speaks while wisdom listens''.

What the fuck could he ever say...he never served, he has NO IDEA what these two patriots are experiencing. So sit back, sit there, and shut the fuck up “Echo Charles.”

@@themartialmind4833 Wow love that. Thanks for sharing mate.

@@scotrule6128 That was really uncalled for.

Scot Rule why are you so angry behind a computer screen?

They had it to do

Life didn't fail him that day. Cowardly Officers and Staff NCO's who were more concerned with their careers and promotions than American and Partner lives failed him. Failed all of those men. Let us not sugar coat, nor forget that.

@@TheYemcl absolutely agreed. When I said "people and circumstances" i just meant that. The cowardly and greediness of the officers was obviously something out Sgt Meyer control, even though he predicted it. Never to be forgotten indeed

Very profound! And I think it’s his mentality that allowed him to do things 99.99% of us wouldn’t in the same situation. He represents the best of humanity in terms of camaraderie and it’s also his curse.

my entire life is a failure! Compared to Sgt. Meyer; i have failed doing nothing he did everything to get shit done. Never ever a failure in any case. Unfortunate for you life sometime sucks at everything. Some more than others...

Even when you try your hardest and do everything you can there is still failure. He promised his brothers he would be there and he wasn't. No matter the circumstances he failed. The only people who can tell him he didn't fail are his brothers that he promised he would save. He lived that failure and has come to terms with it and it has lead him to live how he does now. Don't take that away from him. He talked about his struggle to live with that failure everyday I don't think you should tell him it doesn't exist.

I'm going to listen to it again, it's that good and surely I missed something.

You’ve got to read his book man. Insane read. I was never a book reader growing up but man into the fire really had me on my toes and mixed with emotions of infuriation and sadness and happiness. Men like Dakota Meyer make me so damn proud to be an American. Huge recommendation for anyone that watches this and hasn’t read.

This is tragic... To the fuckin DAY!!! It's time that warriors like this throttle the JAROs, arrest or more harsh and take the comms & verbal over... WTF trained the dolts?( I'm beIN respectful)... I'm saddened & sickend and speechless that this has not been removed. Jocko cuts rooster tails off on principle... I am so sorry this was perpetrated on u 2.... And what of all the other total fuckups that be killed our men ... BULLSHIT ..

This is beacuse Mr Willink is a professional and is clearly disgusted; but he doesn't sound at all surprised at the lack of awareness shown by HQ.

Theyre too busy arguing about inane shit and faux outrage virtue signalling to give a shit about life and death for young soldiers.

Copy that

Getting high frying your brain everyday going to clubs on weekends, the American way in this millennium

Poland here! Our soldiers were in Iraq with you too! I’ve heard that your boys were often surprised with our ‚museum’ equipment, but at least we did our part, unlike western Europe.

I’m not American, I live here so I love this country. Because of people like this, we enjoy our daily lives without a microcosm of foreign war touching our borders. Think about that next time you get irritated because KZfaq won’t load. I mean that in a general sense, not you in particular.
