- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Dick Marcinko, founder of SEAL Team 6 and author of “Rogue Warrior,” sits down with Brandon Webb for an exclusive SOFREP interview. During this portion of the interview, he talks about the challenges of building SEAL Team 6 and going against the military norms of the time. He fundamentally changed how they dressed, were equipped, trained, and functioned as a unit. Without the foundation that Dick Marcinko created, SEAL Team 6 wouldn’t be the team that it is today.

RIP Cmndr Marcinko.
Valhalla thundered at his arrival into the hall of warriors. Thank you for all you did for this country.
The sound of the back of spears simultaneously hitting the ground in agreement
@@sever427 what is Valhalla
I bet that Thor met Demo Dick at the gates and had a keg of cold grog under his arm, to welcome one of the greatest Viking warriors that traveled and swam in the oceans of the world. What makes his books so great and believable is that he lived those stories. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. How many authors lived the stories they tell. They are almost always my favorites.
There is no such thing as Valhalla. Hopefully he was a Christian and this went to Heaven. Heaven is a glorious place.
How do you know that Robert Hart?????
While reading "Rogue Warrior" I was left with the impression that Marcinko thoroughly enjoyed SEAL training. It was like summer camp to him. RIP Commander. You did good . ..
He went to an entirely different BUDS training than guys today. He went when it was in Fort Pierce Florida as a UDT and then went through what is now called SQT.
Guys like this are way more significant than lebron James, Tom brady or Mike trout . Guys like this should be praised by our community alot more than they are.
Athletes generate millions in revenue unlike these guys.
I wish guys like this were recognized just as much as sports athletes and entertainers.
I agree and would even say much more than just as much.
Hell, I look at "professional"sports athletes and entertainers as botton rung human beings, most aren't worth wasting a round to the brain on.
That completely defeats the point
@@mikethomas9124 point of what?
We should revere them as National treasures, but we shouldn’t worship them. Athletes are arrogant, we need humility in our heros
Dick Marcinko. He's a legend in the Special Operations/ SF community. Everyone who knows knows he was the real deal. Rest in peace bad ass.
RIP Mr. Marcinko. This is a guy you would follow anywhere, and gladly fight by his side.
Same here, I would love to fight beside the baddest Navy Seal, warrior, patriot and badass legend Dick Marcinko against all enemies of freedom everywhere by any means necessary to win the war and protect the American people, dream and way of life
I don't think he's a character in call of duty so that's not possible
@@Docstevebruhle good point
RIP brother. I was a Marine Officer 03 with 1st battalion Force Recon. I met him in OCS and what a great commander and warrior..
RIP Rouge Warrior. You've left a tremendous legacy with us. God bless.
Had the Honor of meeting him and Chief "Patches" Watson at a book signing once...Rest Easy Gentlemen...
As a Recon Marine I can tell you every word about boats and the ocean it 100% correct..... I was a coxswain and a scout swimmer and we used zodiac and RIBS... They were some of the best days of my Marine Corps career... This man was a true inspiration of the special opps world and we all took a page from his book... Rest easy worrier for you are Not forgotten.
I was a Army Airborne Infantry Long Range Surveillance Scout and served with SF for four years as well. I did the RHIB Course when I was in the Navy before that doing VBSSS over in the Persian Gulf during the early 1990s. I was going to stay in the Navy and go SWCC( they still have a reserve Special Boat Team in Florida and New Orleans there are only about 500 SWCC. I went to the Army National Guard and then Active Army instead.
I read his book when I was 15 and it changed my life. I joined the Navy and served my nation. He was always a voice in the back of my head encouraging me to be the best I could be in my rating. I’ll never forget him……EVER.
Funniest writing in one of his books is emptying a septic tank during a party with corrupt people in a large mansion in Mexico. Put in plastic explosives put excrement back in septic tank, drove truck away and stopped for this show. Hurt laughing so hard, beautiful criminals had crap all over themselves! What a giant. Respect. Loved his presentation of lack of U S Navy submarine fleet. He will not be forgotten.
RIP fellow Navy veteran...you left behind an incredible legacy to you're nation, SEAL team 6 and the teams.
Man, to myth, to legend. My dad gave me Marcinko books to read for my elementary school reading 😂. Semper Fi 😎🤙
From ensign geek to commander of Seal team 6. Sharkman of the Delta is a legend we all should appreciate and respect. RIP SHARKMAN!
What Demo Dick died ? Oh, that is sad. I liked him and he was fun to talk to.... I hope he heads to The Happy Hunting Grounds.
@@alexansari2138 if he does it'll be through the back door. Just like on Ilo Ilo island!
@@kortgreen7725 Lol... Or Hop and Pop... I will miss his wisdom and his funny remarks.
I have read his books, some of the first novels I started reading, and also met this man as a child at Barnes and noble. He really is an amazing man, and should be considered a warrior poet. Truly a nice guy, but I don't know how he got his britches over those big giant balls. The guy has more bravery and nerves in one hand than most have in their entire body. I did not know that he had passed. He was a huge influence for me standing tall and facing fear as an adult. Thank you Mr. Marcinko!
I've read his books and a bunch of others that mentioned him. We should be talking about the HALO [High Altitude Low Opening] when he opened his chute at ship level. The time in Cambodia he drank the booze with the cobra venom sac and hallucinated for a couple of days. This man is larger than life. Those are just sidebars to his actual wartime heroics and great leadership but Damn it! Very cool!!
I read his first book back in the 90's...
amazing!
One amazing man/warrior!
RIP warrior Marcinko!
This dude is the epitome of a bad lad
I bought his Xbox game Rogue warrior because his book was so good . He is drinking with his comrades in Valhalla.👏🏻
Great book! I still have a worn out copy. HALO jumps & cobra venom drink. He was larger than life...
Imagine Marcinko move...done mean, loud and accurate.
Including a the navy sh*theads who tried to shut him up.
@@pauldirac808 Bombay gin no DOUBT!
Could listen to him all day. What a warrior and leader.
I served w/the Marines as a Hospital Corpsman (HM3) in Viet Nam, 1966, was never a SEAL (doubt I have what it takes) but what he said about getting the chills hit home. We got rained on and night would fall, all our clothes wet & chills set in. Hadn’t thought about that in years. Much respect sir!
RIP Mr. Marcinko, your books were some of the best I've ever read. You were such an inspiration and source of knowledge. You are truly missed.
He got busted out of the navy for thought
When did he pass)
@@johnqpublic2718 last week.
His 📚 and early novels were + ... I'm a veteran 🎗 and to see his stories, weapons, SCUBA, helicopters. RIP Demo Dick!
@@johnqpublic2718 12-26-2021. ⚓
One of the most bad a$$ warriors ever!!! Much respect.
I’m glad this kind of extended candid interview was done before he died. I never heard him talk like this any where else.
An American Legend and a true warrior. I read all of his books and they left a great impression on me. Thank you for your service to this great nation. RIP CMDR MARCINKO.
God Bless you CMDR Marcinko RIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR Navy and our Country. You will never be forgotten!
RIP Navy Seal fearless American Badass patriot, Richard Marcinko the Rogue Warrior and Seal Team Six first commander defending America against all enemies
Thank you for your service Sir there will never be another like you.
Thank you for your exceptional service to this country sir. My hero
RIP ROGUE WARRIOR. A true leader and patriot !
I thank you, Dick Marcinko, for creating the team that served justice to the man responsible for killing my friends on 09/11/01.
VERY COOL 😎
One of my best friends knew him well and speaks highly of Dick. RIP warrior.
Prove it
Wow! he's quite the guy. The stuff he's seen, and done.
The original ROUGE WARRIOR! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Rest in power. HOOYAH!!!
He was a special man who will be greatly missed. Fair winds & following seas Dick. Thank you for all you've done!
RIP, legend and patriot.
Would have been great to see guys like him sit down and talk with older Spetsnaz guys.
My man rip you got me through hs had no friends and read his books in library for a year before I moved schools you will always have a place in my heart till I’m gone too!
Sir,
Thank you for your leadership and service!
RIP, salute and thank you for your service, Commander Marcinko. May Valhalla welcome you. I intend to get Rogue Warrior one day.
He was a Hero, one of so many our country produced for every branch. I read every everyone of Dicks books and loved them all. I loved talking to him on facebook a couple times.
What Marcinko did was really brilliant and strategic. Obviously, he had help from the CNO, but this is thinking above and beyond. It is easier to be a military guy and just do what is expected, but to think and move beyond that is creative thinking ... just like a writer in Hollywood or an artist. We all owe a lot to him, and others like him. They're very few.
A legend.
Not only would ST-6 not be what it is today, EVERYTHING, tactics, equipment, attitude trickled into all of the other teams.
Broke the mold! RIP 🍺
Sir, you are one bad JuJu! Go easy!
RIP Cmndr. Thank you.
Sad to hear of his passing, loved his books
Rick Marcinko was the man for our time and needs much the same way that Generals Grant and Patton and Winston Churchill. They were popular when they were most needed. But when major hostilities ceased, they were not only no longer needed, but also openly despised, ridiculed and pilloried. If it were not for men like these, this world would be under the thumb of totalitarian leaders. Maybe Grant wouldn't have played a role in this, but he was cast from the same mold as the other men. Under the definition of warrior, there should be a picture of Rick Marcinko.
Had to opportunity when I was young to get some books signed and a photo with the man. Saw him a couple more times over the decades. I went Army but I think Rogue Warrior really was the final push through the recruiter's door. I know not everybody liked him but respect for all that he has done.
This is now how I was expecting this video to go. If I didn't know who he was, I'd probably think this guy a little squirrelly
Thank you Sir for all you did for this country and for the audio books you made as well. Thank you for taking the seals and turning them into a more deadly fighting force! As we know as Seal team six RIP Comndr Marcinko you are true patriot and a true American hero thank you!
An interesting man of his time. Duncan Faulkner from the UK SBS spent a lot of time with Team 6. The SEALS ended up having smaller teams units like the UK after. The SBS and the RM Mountain Leader ( the latter takes over 2 years to qualify the full grade) specialise in arctic warfare,... and the North submarine umbilical to the top of the oil rig in rough seas is astonishing and has cost many lives.
Check out the book SEAL!: From Vietnam's PHOENIX Program to Central America's Drug Wars : Twenty-six Years with a Special Operations Warrior By Michael Walsh and Greg Walker. He talks about his experience screening for ST6. That's all I'm on to say...
Michael Walsh was a showboat.
Denny Chalker was a E-9, SEAL & former US Army paratrooper. One Perfect Op was a great non fiction book about SEALs, SpecWar. Modern SOF.
@@DavidLLambertmobile I bought it when it came out in 2002.
@@DavidLLambertmobile Love that book!
the gut's. test these Admirals. 100% respect. lol.
Fair Winds and Following Seas, Sir. Semper Fi.
Look at this man, possibly the greatest seal of all times to include Don Shipley and Chris Kyle and even Dakota Meyer! I think everybody who is reading this realizes that to be a Navy SEAL you have to complete the so-called "Hell Week" 5 days of intense exercise with sleep deprivation I don't think anybody living could accomplish this.
Don't forget Bob Eagle Gallagher, James Patches Watson or MOH winner Mike Thornton. All legends and hunters as well as warriors .
Possably the greatest seal? Commander Marcinco started devgru, IE Seal Team 6, and NO disrespect ever, to the remaining seals but Team 6 was the BEST OF THE BEST. Theyre still taking out the trash today, like osama bin drinkin, so id say he came 1 hell of a long way from snorting peas in the chow hall to turning warfare into chess..God Bless you richard.I really HOPE TO HELL " they" did THE RIGHT THING and buried you IN ARLINGTON,WHERE YOU BELONG. TAKE CARE, GEEK
😪
RIP Mr. Marcinko.
Thank God we have men like this willing to endure such hardship.
RIP Dick. I learned to not love white side seals as an army dog but I’m guessing your men were something else. You were a hero of mine growing up.
Gotta love this man.
They don’t make them like this anymore I wound up in the ARMY because I had a GED got to do some fun stuff in the army but man was I brokenhearted when the Navy recruiter told me I couldn’t join because I did not have a high school diploma I was going to be a seal I read everyone of his books this guy was a huge part of my 20s and 30s I met him at a liquor store in Las Vegas he was amazing his energy is unreal this is one in 1 trillion
Rest easy Cmndr Marcinko.
He didnt die. Fucker is TDY chasing poon
he kid napped some Admirals. held them. their families are freaking out. good.
That was part of the exercises to test a bases SECURITY. All were released AFTER the test to strengthen OUR BASES against vulnerability. It was just PART of the exercise and NOT CRIMINAL IN ANY WAY. He was performong his duties, but it did EMBARASS some of these high up admirals...well boo hoo, truth hurts boys and richard and his med did it FOR YOUR OWN GOOD...
This voice is motivation....for victory!R.I.P. !God bless!Never Forget!
I had a red cell member as a scoutmaster. I saw him spooked of the cold one time. Wind chill was -70F and the main part of the storm hadnt hit yet.
He wasnt scared for himself. He had to go out and find one of the boys who had hunkered down outside to weather the storm. At night. He did it too. We all made it out. That storm hit -90F when the weather station was destroyed. Then it got cold
Deeply saddened to learn about the passing of a great American hero. The Son will welcome him to everlasting glory.
Was sad to hear of Dick Marcinko recently passing, certainly a larger than life kinda guy.
Power Full Power To You… You Aint Dead You Have Defeated Dead As Well Kid You Are Here With Us…
God Bless Demo Dick, RIP.
Man, not until I read these comments did I realize he had passed away. RIP sir.
We love you! Sir. God, needed you in Heaven. Too fight the Devil.
God bless this guy, that's a man I'd be happy to serve under. May the tide take you to warmer sands and great you with ivy sir.
It’s true in Thailand it’s the hottest place I’ve ever been so humid but after a huge storm it takes the humidity right out of the air and afterwards there’s usually a really nice cool breeze.
RIP warrior. 👊🇺🇸
My Heroes SEAL Team 6. Wow.
Where can I see this uninterrupted please and thank you?
Legendary!
Hooyah. It pays to be a winner.
grt stuff!
Maybe the greatest badass ever
🥃🍻🙏❤️🇺🇸 Sir, We have the watch. Fair winds and dry powder
True Rogues get it.
Rip....a true hero and a warrior. Valhalla got a good one.
Dick is a legend and was done wrong by our Government.
Totally agree.
Rip cdr marcenko
How was he done wrong?
@@sexntuna I only like me??? Your not worth talking to with that attitude. Do your research 🧐 on what happened. Sounds like your more interested in arguing than finding out the truth.
@@charlesvire7517 You must have misunderstood me. I was purely asking because I’m interested in knowing. I have not watched all the videos or researched about him
Once my friends and I ran into Mikey T. and he said "You think I'm bad, you should see my Boss".He had us scared shitless, this is around 1980 when they just started RED CELL. Richard Marcinko is one of the greatest American heros I wish I could have met.
Our American hero’s.
That was a funny joke at the end. That was a trick put everyone back out to sea in the most crazy fun way hahah!!
Nice to hear he took inspiration by GSG9
Mpto..much points tolled by observation
Just found out about him today. He is revolutionary.
RIP Sir
This country owes this man a debt it can never repay! RIP Rogue Warrior!
RIP Sirrr. and Semper Fi.
DEVGRU is today because of your unconventional mindset. Rest easy legend.
RIP high honors!
RIP sir!🥃
Good man 😊
Rest easy chief
I need to buy his books asap
Rest in peace brother. You were a great leader. N.I.S. tried to destroy you . But all they did was make you a household name.
Yes
RIP! Sir! Semperfi!
This interview is at least 10-15 years ago, he's not 81 years old here. RIP
