I'm pretty sure that a false accusation of first degree murder is enough for a defamation lawsuit. This one doesn't pass the sniff test, man.

I’m sorry, but if a task force commander of two Seal platoons shot an allied source in the face, he would have been relieved of command, moved somewhere else, or shitcanned. If we shot someone in Iraq in 04-10 we had to do shooter statements even if it was justified. No way his entire team and the CIA just shrugged their shoulders and carried on. The Demming guy is a clown. He clearly has a hard-on for Jocko, and is repeating shit talk he’s heard.

anyone else notice ,... The entire US Special Operations Community has turned into "The View"

Thank god I was just a basic Marine, I'm still bros with the guys I was in with. Talk constantly and help each other out as best we can.

The problem with suing is, you open yourself up to discovery. The problem with discovery is, basically anything and everything you've ever done, can be manipulated into something that sounds like you're the worst person on the planet. Which is why so many civil suits get dropped or settled before they get to court.

This is one of those few times when I feel like the word "SHOCKING" actually belongs in a youtube title lmao. Thank you for being so honest and articulate when it comes to these issues. Your perspective is super valuable for us younger guys who don't have your experience

SEALS eating their own, big surprise. Need to go back to the quiet professional days pre-internet. All these guys talking and our enemies are listening. Not smart.

Why all the sudden years later he's a murderer? Why not bring it up right away? Seems like bullshit

The main problem I have with Deming’s claims is that by his own admission he wasn’t there to witness any of it. Everything he claims he says “I heard from so and so” “the word going around was”, etc He hasn’t provided any receipts to back up these things he learned second hand either. It’s also the fact that he made that claim about 36 marines KIA that turned out to be impossible for it to even be true I would also say even with his claim about Jocko shooting a source is true, a event that he didn’t witness and he provided zero evidence to back up, saying Jocko shot the guy because he was feeling insecure and pressured into it is pure speculation on his part Point is this guy just says things that he either heard 2nd hand or even worse are pure speculation but he says them as if they’re facts and provides nothing to back it up

Thanks for talking about this

i’ve heard from other seals, specifically on the shawn ryan show, talk about how people in the seal community can be extremely jealous and envious when you’re doing better than them (honestly that’s just people in general) i feel like this is a classic example of that

"Cool man! Got'em" 😂😂😂😂 Pretty much sums it up for me. The idea that Jocko would intentionally do something so incompetent "to make a name for himself" makes me think that Deming isn't right in the head. Who TF would believe a story like that.

Green boots make mistakes, no matter what branch of service.

So the source is killed by the team leader, he is their to help and no fall out, 20 year USAF TACP, I agree no way in hell. However, you know some NCIS agent is foaming at the mouth to look at this.

So he says this is Jockos first time out. Alleges Jocko straight murders an Intel source just because. After that Jocko is given command of Bruiser?? IDK about this.

You should have him on your show and question him. I will say he get's pretty animated about Jocko and Tim S.

I'm glad I was just a Gravy Seal and a Bean Beret...

I hope the Senior Chief has a great legal team; I'm pretty confident Jocko does. Also I'll bet Jocko has enough bank to cash the checks the Senior Chief's ass can't.

You know we're in trouble when our navy seals are fighting each other.

Thank you for taking the time to break this down for us regular civilians. I think we are all getting sick of the rando commandos talking to us like we are children hearing made up war stories. That time is long gone and we want truth and honesty more than anything.

I’m raising the bullshit flag without watching anything further than the guys statement. Meeting unknown friendly forces in a hot area is one of the most dangerous linkups that can happen. We never met an unknown source without strict, pre-planed bonafides steps which includes many things. How the source is carrying a long gun, if he has one, was always part of the process of checks. IF Jacko saw a guy who could’ve been their source and smoked him as soon as the dust cleared without going through the process, I don’t think anyone on his team would accept that level of incompetence no matter who he was. Second, I’ve never met a source who was just standing anywhere near our insertion location specifically for the reason that insertion is one of the most chaotic and dangerous periods of the mission. We always moved to a different area to do link up instead of hanging around the spot a fucking helicopter just landed any longer than necessary. Unless we inserted on target moving directly into the hit, we always painfully waited patiently until everything cleared (SLLS). No chopper noise, no dust and you get the “feel” of the AO before moving. Also, the FLIR of the insertion platform didn’t pick up some guy just standing on the LZ with an AK?? There’s just too many eyebrow raisers in that claim to believe it. If it’s true and the team leader compromised and failed the mission immediately upon hitting the ground by smoking a high level asset, a friendly force without whom you couldn’t reach your target and achieve the objective, don’t you think, especially at that level of ops, SOMEBODY would’ve heard about it? I’ve never heard of any team putting up with anything like that even if it’s someone you love and have been fighting or training with for a long time. These men are like board women who have nothing to do other than feed that addiction to negativity.

Your perspective is very balanced and much appreciated. The accuser is absolutely nuts.

The truth is the hardest to believe, because it doesn’t make sense like fiction, the strangest things are the truth.

Jocko: "Yes." The guy accusing Jocko: *drinks more vodka and rambles like Biden* Jocko: "Yes."

For such a serious claim to be made on a podcast is wild and very unprofessional.

The Seals have really lost a lot of luster with all these Mucky-Mucks coming out of the woodwork and opening their traps.

Read code over country jocko was mentioned several times this joker has always been a problem

It gets extra spicy when one of the USMC NCOs under the Marine Officer who wrote the open letter says in a KZfaq VLOG that that officer was… untrustworthy at best

And that was the last time they asked Jocko to come on a mission again. 😂

Nate, I've never seen you wince so much in a video brother lol

Thanks for your clarity. Sure useful given the crap going around.

I just found you. You discuss interesting topics. I look forward to watching more. And thank you for serving our country. Cheers. EDIT: Subscribed

That guy has a number of videos where he shits on every Navy SEAL he can.

I don’t support either side but this and other things like it is like children fighting online. Stupid for “quiet professionals” who are meant to be adult men. Not detracting from this guy, I’m sure he has a good reason (fallen marines) but have a feeling a lot of these things are done solely to get publicity and to make money somehow. Represents the SOF profession in a bad light overall no matter what unit you’re in or where. It seems it’s not a quiet one anymore…

Excellent video!

Maybe dude is mad because Jocko is living the life dude wanted. He’s mad at his own shortcomings and going after a big and respected name in the industry. Damn shame.

This is what’s so crazy to me. If these allegations were true, people would be coming out of the woodwork to tell their side of the story. I personally don’t believe it. But, why isn’t Jocko suing the shit out of this guy?!

I seen this dude on multiple occasions he's going after a bunch of seals ..

Thank you for getting to the point and not dragging it out for 10 minutes talking about yourself first.

Jay’s interview with the Marines who encountered Task Unit Bruiser was pretty revealing of Jocko’s supposed reckless and unprofessional conduct, but as far as I’m aware, Deming has NEVER told this story publicly before. How do you not lead with this if you have access to that information? How new is this development and what is the source? You’re totally right though, this is horrible optics for the SOF community and the military in general. This is supposed to be one of the most professional groups of people on the planet and we have guys arguing like middle schoolers and throwing around accusations like this on podcasts.

What I’ve thought was amazing is people really tried painting Jocko out as this like…fucking…Navy SEAL or something…I have my doubts as well, but considering Jockos resume the idea of him calling out an enemy target and saying “he’s mine” just doesn’t shock me. Does that make sense?

Not in the Community, but really starting to disbelieve Mr. Deming. I wasn't there, and neither was he. Mike drop.

I'm not surprised in slightest a story like this came out about Joko or any navy seal.

Youve gotta rockin channel here, Ive come to appreciate youre level-headed, but oft times open-ended perspective(s) on many a topic... Its refreshing to see an individual not being concrete lock'd into any particular way of thinking, viewing matters through many a differing window of observation, to better attain a more or less complete overview, oft dependent upon the flow of facts, or available information at hand. Always vigilant as to exposing &/or unraveling propagandist mis/dis info streams. (Good luck, as that often consists of 80%+ of what we must sift through to attain any small percentage of truth..;) Seeing that from birth, most all humans are thoroughly conditioned in myriad ways & tend to maintain a bias of sorts, even moreso if an individual objects to such a challenge. No matter the subject, being either lightly perused, heavily investigated, or experienced 1st hand.... People in general, be them 100% civ oriented, or a combat arms veteran. Much like most insect species, we tend to highly specialize in one activity of professional focus/MOS, perhaps two @ the very most. So no matter the vast amount of personal experience, or information analysed, we still yet see but a >> TINY SLIVER

This actually isn't a new , hes made this accusation a while ago, Jocko hasn't sued yet which tells me thus could veey well be true

Eric Deming has specifically criticized Jocko for sending his guys out in day time instead of night since, as he says 'we own the night' or in other words they have the advantage. So I dont get where this dude thinks Deming is implying Jocko is a coward for going out at night (he implies Jocko is a coward for not putting himself at risk like he put his guys). Deming is clear in his interviews that Jocko was putting his guys at risk by sending them out in the day. As soon as I saw this error from this dude - trying to build up his low following of 22k compared to the many other SO guys on youtube, which is a dime a dozen now - I tuned out. If you get a simple detail wrong, I cant expect better later.

I have no idea who that guy is. But he screams of, "Trust me bro." Eghhh. I'll pass. I've been following Jocko for some years now. And Jocko's message is spot on and has helped me through a great many things in life. "Get after it." -Jocko

Bro, any of us who served in Iraq could be accused of murder. Let’s be honest. We had no business being there and ALOT of civilians got killed over a lot of years. My unit was no exception to that.

He has been really trash talking Jocko, Marcus Luttrell and Rob O’Neill on the anti hero podcast. I have no idea if this guy is reputable or not.

I've noticed that Navy seals that are not as successful as people like Jocko or other Navy seals that have been able to make a lot of money after getting out always come out with stories against the team guys that are actually becoming successful after their military career. It's almost like they're a bunch of women that are jealous and bitter and haven't moved on.

I just found your channel too man with the SEAL video and you were so right, high school girls. And here we are again. ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE SEAL HOUSEWIVES OF IRAQISTAN. please use that before anyone else does, my gift to you😂❤

Hey man, as someone who highly respects and looks up to Jocko, thank you so much for giving your input. I respect you for doing this.

When a SEAL makes an accusation that is later backed up by marines that were also in the area at the same time, I tend to believe them

Success has enemies.

Should be handled in house by the United States Navy.

There are so many inconsistencies in Deming’s stories. It seems like he is taking unrelated facts and finding ways to combine them to make them fit his narrative.

TBH, we only see this level of bickering and infighting in the SEAL community. The hubris, hollywoodism, and self centered arrogance within that asset is embarrassing and erodes trust and credibility with American people when they gossip like schoolgirls in public purview.

Dont care about either of them. Get real jobs and stop trying to make a living off of being a personality. Thanks for your service.

Dude was on anti hero podcast with the CAG dude and the cop. Interesting stuff. Also they had a few other Marines that corroborated Eric’s story. It’s crazy for sure and it hurts to see fellow SOF guys go after each other. But what hurts more is thinking about those Marines parents hearing this. May the Lord bless them and us. We need Jesus

All these guys saying "there would of been fallouts " are full of sh#t. This stuff happened and you all shut your mouths. Maybe you talked about it amongst your friends, but you all know if you said shit you were gone. So you said nothing. You protected your career and it is what it is. You were young, wanted to be there, worked hard for it. Just dont try bs now as a older guy, with a bit more morals and standards to you, looking back and knowing its wrong.... mistaking who you are today, with who you were then and say you wouldnt stand for it. Because back then, you did. You said nothing. You let this stuff fly #facts #iykyk

This is what happens when SOF and NSW have nothing to do.. No war to fight, so they fight eachother. It's pathetic.

For individuals grappling with the aftermath of trauma, lying can become a coping mechanism. It serves as a shield, protecting them from the perceived threat of judgment or further harm

Seems from the intro that the larger issue is the fact that allegations have been made & whether or not they have proof to back 'em up. No one should care that it reflects SEALs eating their own. IF true, the allegations should always come forward & be welcomed...IF true.

The thing about Deming is that he still don't have a social media presence, don't have his own podcast, and don't have a book deal. I think he really believe in what he's saying

He says specifically, and I quote “Excuse me. Drinking my Truly.”

More drama than a highschool softball team in the community. What the fuck is up with that place I may have not gotten along with somebody but I would never throw shit and talk crap about them to a bunch of randos on the street. This is the inevitable result of monetizing a SOF career and and publishing everything in the hopes of further monetizing it

Not taking any sides but a big claim like that needs receipts

This guy has been running his mouth for a while now.. I hope jocko sues the shit out of him. Does jocko seem like a guy that would just murder someone for no reason?? Maybe im just biased because im a huge jocko supporter... he has a great message for adults and the youth.

Nate would love to have you on to talk about your service! It’s Bud , we linked up through your father 🇺🇸

You should watch other videos where Deming accuses Jocko of war crimes. He also accuses Chris Kyle and basically all of task unit bruiser. Also Jocko made a podcast talking about some of the claims and basically said Deming is a complete liar. Just in case you didn’t know.

Jocko is my bro, I have trained jiu jitsu with him for 30 years. He is one of the most honorable, tough and disciplined men I’ve ever met in my life. I dont believe this BS, I have his back 100%

The guy accusing Jocko and Slab has no personal YT channel or social media at all he says. His reason for doing this now is because no others have stepped up and told the truth. Jocko is not as high speed as he puts on.

0 seconds ago As a Big Fan of Jocko and Echelon Front as well as Mike Glover and Fieldcraft Survival, this is great news. I never believed that this was something Jocko or Mike would do, especially because I know 3 People who have taken rifle classes from Mike directly. I am hopeful that Mike will be back to his KZfaq Channel and back to making worthwhile content. Thanks for posting this. I appreciate you posting this information and have started following your channel. Good Content and keep it up. Reply

You’ll know how valid it is by the amount of lawsuits that are filed against the accuser. You should have him on your show like Jay did and then bring up your criticism with him.

What if it is true? What if he did shoot this guy as Deming claims. What if Jocko allowed and covered up others who killed non-combatants? I have a hard time believing Deming would risk accusing someone like Jocko of murder without the ability to prove it. Should be interesting moving forward.

Exactly what I thought..the source walking them in is a huge security issue, especially meeting them on target

Most toxic brother hood is seals

Lmao whaaat? (I haven't even watched the video yet) I assume Deming is telling more wild stories

The other thing that doesn't make sense about Jock randomly shooting a guy is... This is real life. People aren't going to go along with you in that moment, forget about getting in trouble later. If someone you were with just randomly committed murder you would think they had some sort of mental episode, you wouldn't continue to let that person be armed and follow their directions. In real life I would expect randomly committing murder for no reason would get you disarmed and handcuffed, no body wants an armed unpredictable psycho around.

This is the guy that Has accused like 10 different Navy SEALs of doing different things

I take these accusations with a grain of salt. I think there is a lot of jealousy in the SOF community for these people that are successful. Follow the money.

They say chris kyle under jocko was sniping iraqi civilians and chris kyle said he sniped 30 American civilians during a national emergency with katrina. so idk bruh ask the 3/8 marines what happened...

One more reason why SF> beach ball boys

For context, let me say that I wasn’t in during the GWOT…I was already out. My only combat was in Mogadishu and the joke that was Iraq 1…and I saw a dude get court martialed for a good shoot. Back then, we were theoretically more “good ‘ol’ boy…and he STILL faced a judge. My son was in Iraq, and from what he has told me, the ROEs were WAY tighter than anything I experienced. I saw the interview, and I called out the team house podcast in their comments. The pod owner acted like he didn’t back this guy’s bullshit stories. He CLEARLY egged this guy on for views without ANY pushback. Fuck that podcast. And if I were Jocko, I’d sue the fuck out of both of them

The way he was stumbling over his words...hard to believe what he was saying is true.

In an article by The Intercept Jocko was asked about Chris Kyle's stolen valor and stated "Kyle deserved more ribbons and medals than he received." I remind you that Kyle had, at the time Jocko made these asinine statements, a multimillion dollar book and a movie about his life. That tells you all you need to know about Jocko.

This dude is a straight up Jocko supporter all you did was make a video showing the opposite approach for clicks

Thank you for shedding some light on this... I'm a civi so I only know what hear from this community. I sincerely appreciate your measured response. It didn't sound even plausible that this action(s) had happened but the more I hear from rational/reasonable SOFs the more I am assured that most all of you are the best trained in tactics of war fighting but also how to engage the enemy legally, morally and lethally when necessary.

You know the biggest thing i got from that podcast was that the dude was mad nswf didnt pick his dojo to train seals karate. Bro you guys are paid to shoot, not foot fist way

jocko episode 439, with Gen Mcfarland does a great job at refuting the narative of this guy.

Jocko didn't shoot a CIA source in the face, the guy accusing Jocko of murder, is probably jealous of Jocko. Just how the guy said it, he basically shot the source in the face. The guys lieing like crazy and sounds made up for sure

WTF is wrong with SEAL's all the do is bicker at each other like women. Jacko should sue the balls off that dude for defamation.

Obviously this is clipped out of a 2 hour podcast so it omits quite a bit of context. But Deming is no liar. If he said it then its true. We should be praising the guy for being committed to something higher than the brotherhood. Enough to hold his own community accountable. Rather than trying to shame him as a backstabber.

Sad day for the community, I hope the teams are okay. Get after it. They should square this all away.

extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof

so much for the quiet profesional they cant wait to trash each other then write a book or start a podcast.

The people who allied themselves with tribesman in Afghanistan who took little boys as brides, really are saying that they didn't kill their own translators, civilians or non-combatants for fun. Right...

War is HELL!

The other guy is lying. Really hope Jocko does sue him if he's damaging his reputation/credibility. Jocko has enough of a "following" that people can see, the person is just jealous and causing issues. Destroying another person's reputation and credibility never makes the person they are spreading lies about, look bad. Instead, it always makes the person spreading the lies, look bad or even criminal.

This guy is throwing crap at every Navy Seal. He has no first hand knowledge and he would be more credible if he had something on just one guy. He seems to have a problem with every Seal who has had some success in life.
