I so needed this podcast. I didn't serve in the military but I was a police officer for thirty years with 90% of my career as a detective. Of that time as a detective 80% of that was serving as a homicide detective. The city I worked in was once labeled the most dangerous city in the United States. I remember a time when I juggled fifteen active homicide investigations at one time. My wife knew me before I became a police officer and after I had been on the job for some time, she once asked me how it became easy for me to shut my emotions off to everyone. I told her it just happened. I didn't tell her that it was a result of years of seeing babies put in ovens because their parents were high on crack or seeing a kid shot down in the street for his shoes. I truly didn't recognize the PTSD that I had because I felt that I had not earned the right to say that I had it. When I thought of PTSD, I thought of warriors such as Tyler who had done these things for our country. It's still had for me to reconcile that I have PTSD. I've been retired for going on five years and I still wonder if my mind will ever get right.
Thank you for your service . . . most LEO's are exposed to some of the worst humans can do one another, and as a consequence, they are susceptible to PTSD. While you're working, your coworkers are your support system, but now, in retirement you no longer have that. I suggest you find another mission whether it be volunteering at a civic association, VA, LE support group ect. Use your experience to help others, and I think it will help you overcome your own PTSD. I hope you're are successful b/c you are worth it.
I relate with Tyler so much. From childhood to the military. I didn't get to serve in Special Operations but I joined up in 2004 as combat arms and went to Iraq in 2005 and 2006 and got injured. I saw true violence. It fundamentally changed me, but it's also something I wanted as a kid. I shut off my emotions because I got sick of being hurt and made fun of. I watched all the movies. I watched Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down and dreamt of being a Ranger. The Army made me grow up and taught me to be strong, mentally and physically, but it also broke me in other ways. I struggle so hard to put myself out there and be social and embrace new experiences. I also completely turn off to people who I don't respect or like, once you're a turd I don't care at all. Just crazy how many parallels there are, and knowing that there's others out there like me who are reaching out and healing and trying to be better, it makes me want to work that much harder to do the same so I can be a better husband, father, and person in general. Thank you so much for this podcast, I appreciate y'all.
1 day at a time dude. Seems like you got the plan just need the encouragement to stay focused. Well being the best dad you can be is all the inspiration you need. 💪🏻
I didn’t meet Tyler until he was a Cadre for GORUCK. He pushed my shit in on a 13hr Challenge in Vegas for my birthday. Damn glad I got to meet him and spend time learning. Thanks for sharing Tyler.
I NEEDED this podcast, Johnny! Tyler is such a good man with a powerful story and whether he likes it or not, his words have real impact. Everything he talked about is part of the subject matter of a book I’m writing. Having so many friends from the SOF community suffering the same problems, I mean to help in the only way I can, by writing it into a great book. Yes! Hold this W because you both earned it!!!
This is EXACTLY what happened to me! I became OVERWHELMED with everyone else's problems and situations and keeping up with LIFE. I cut out all social media, cut off friends in a loving way and just focused on ME, and my hubby, daughter and immediate family. It feels AMAZING. This low info diet has helped clear my mind and allow me to reconnect spiritually. If you are thinking of doing the same, DO IT!!! You have to protect your mind/energy to have the strength to deal with this world and for what is coming. Peace and blessings to all
@@WarlordEnthusiast I don't think that is what she meant... You cut out the problems and drama not isolate.... When you realize that you only have control of you and yours it is a very powerful thing and you can begin to focus your energy where it matters.
@@WarlordEnthusiastthats all you took from that? Do you even now what its feel like to be in that position? I do and its feels very empowering, OP has a HUGE point
Im so glad he was honest with they "why did you join?" "To kill bad guys". Thats a legitimate reason that people dont wanna talk about outside of within military circles
Cause that's a rotten mindset only the likes of Americans and Russians are proud of, kill now ask questions later create conflict and intervene just sums up both countries perfectly. Lost cause and cautionary tale after they rid themselves
This interview is about as raw and honest as it gets. This is clearly a man who has been through hell and back. In doing so he’s become self aware and aware of the human condition on a level a lot of people will never experience. Thank you for opening up and being brutally honest in the process.
@@zachB1130 thank you for your kind reply, I appreciate it. My two best friends served in the Ranger Regiment and the other served on the SEAL teams. They pointed out to me that the reference to PTS should be vocalized and normalized as such because it is indeed NOT a disorder. It’s a lingering actuated stress and needs to be called what it is. So, thank you for acknowledging that I said it correctly.
@@kendramiddletonwilliams of course! yeah, my dad is a former naval special operator as well, (former seal) . he was actually the one that explained it to me as what it is.
In the punisher series when it was stated the " mind can get used to anything as long as there is a pattern", the mind can compromise and justify almost anything.
These are the podcasts i love to listen to. Someone whos experienced so much and been through things i can only imagine, but can make me feel a connection and relate too in a certain way. Very interesting to listen to and learn from guys like this.
The part of the conversation that hit me the most was about his relatable traits with his father that he saw & realized was in him ultimately as well… that’s shit is a scary & honest reality check… wow. Thank god for this podcast.
Tyler's description of PTS was spot n. "How can you process something illogical?" That's the dilemma. Marcus Capone and many of his colleagues have been saved by these alternative treatments.
Ueah growing up in the inner city a lot of the kids have ptsd before they are 10. I saw bodies and shot being fired as early as age 5. Until you get older you realize Thats not healthy. These guys went thorugh it too but they were older. I wish people cared about the inner city kid who has ptsd before he is even 12. It is more a issue than anyone wants to ever speak on.
@@lordoffaiyum9727 People with PTSD are oftentimes the most ostracized members of society. You either become the victim of something too extreme to comprehend because of low socioeconomic status, or you develop PTSD and proceed to turn into the sort of dysfunctional human being that society loves to hate. Money is power, and without it you're infinitely more vulnerable to tragedy and turmoil.
For anyone bitching about the title, any Tier 1 dude will introduce themselves as their “alma mater”. If a SF dude has to intro themselves they’ll say their former green beret, despite whether or not they were selected for delta. These are rangers, PJs, Green Berets happen to be serving in a special unit.
1:27:31 I relate to this so much, my dad is an alcoholic and was abusive to me growing up, I drank to cope with my emotions and things going on in life and started reminded myself of him with the little things I did, and stopped. It took me awhile to forgive him but I eventually did because I was able to relate to him in a way and just matured realizing that I can’t stay in the past and accepted him for him.
It's ingrained into your personality. My best friend was in the 75th battalion & he's one of the most intelligent people I've ever known. I served in the Canadian infantry with different skill sets, but I could understand much of what he was talking about. He also helped me understand the process the military uses to break people & screw with your head. Forever respect for all 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 veterans.
PTSD IS NO JOKE, I suffered for many years with images of the tramitic stuff just popping in my head and i could feel it all over again, but along my journey i realized that the only one who can hurt you is you and it all eashed away
I must say growing up being a tyler i never heard any stories really with my name in them. Excited to watch this podcast of a Tyler who seems to be a badass.
At the end when Tyler is talking about his dad and Vietnam I believe that some that didn’t go have a guilt about not going when their friends went and didn’t come back. My dad volunteered to go and was denied for missing a finger and being flat footed but watched him break down at a traveling memorial wall because he felt the guilt of his friends going and not him. Kind of a form of survivors guilt.
My father in law was talked out of enlisting during Vietnam. He wanted to serve. He regrets it to this day. I tell him sometimes “aside from all the crazy shit, you didn’t miss much man. At least you avoided all the extra bullshit duties that you would inevitably have.”
That's how I recognized him as well. I always wondered about "the two cast members that dont have lines but are in the show" kind of search result. He definitely made SEAL Teams more authentic.
Man what a kickass interview this was.Ive always been interested in hearing what makes these guys tick.Ive had some deep-rooted issues in my life I won't go into here but it's caused many years my life to be a big shit show . I've often wondered if the kinds of trauma these guys go through and what trauma I've been through could result in the same kinds of crazy thought patterns and self-destructive behavior.I am in no way comparing what veterans go though to mine I'm simply trying to figure out if mental trauma causes the same issues in different cases.
I'm an Australian veteran who's experienced my fair-share of trauma both from my service and regular life. One thing that resonated with me throughout therapy was the emphasis on trauma and it's effects all being relative to the individual. Before that I made the mistake of thinking I was somehow more justified in being messed up and that others couldn't relate because they'd not experienced what I had. On a scale of 1-10 for instance, if somebody experiences a 7 by being blown up in a warzone and another experiences a 7 by having an argument, the trauma is the same for both those individuals. The body's reaction and the physiological and psychological outcomes are directly comparable, despite the differing origins. You don't need to be a veteran by any stretch to experience any of the repercussions or effects and you can most definitely develop the same or similar behaviours and thought-processes as a result, we're all human mate. As meaningless as it might seem I hope you're able to process and find your own understanding in your struggles. Wishing you all the best mate.
Have you seen Kyle Morgan? As a vet you just hurt for the guy in that video. You can tell everything he talks about he’s reliving right then. And when they talk about the hotel in Mumbai (I think) dude just went God mode by himself. It’s good. Makes you proud to have been any part of GWOT.
Crazy we have the same religious beliefs and our fathers unfortunately are addicted to Alcohol. My positive chaos is fighting in mma and the grind doing that. Thanks for sharing !
Man I’m so jealous. I was like him, knew I wanted to be an elite soldier or marine since I was out of diapers. Too bad I have asthma :/ at 28 years old in finance, it still fucks with me today as I still believe it to be my true calling
The more i watch into this i realize he and I are nearly identical mindset wise. I'd love to sit down with this guy. my jaw keeps dropping he's explaining my childhood and the way I coped. my love for art and everything he is saying is mirroring me. Idk if it's possible but i really want to meat this guy. I've never met anyone like myself. I'm not alone! I really want to meet this guy. One the other hand maybe we are so alike that we wont have anything to talk about. One person would say something and the other would be like "yeah i agree" silence. lol. but what i'm after is his knowledge about life and just learning about his success and how I can use his experience to augment my life and maybe go somewhere. I'm just spinning my tires i have no purpose or ties but i'm not ready to "leave" just yet.
@@polynesia8733 i'm not saying I don't like cops, but I don't like the entire policing system/mentality. Very very extremely under trained. Military special forces I have much more respect for. Just my opinion. 🇺🇸💪🏻👊🏻🤙🏼
@c_mac7773 . Cutting budgets, witch hunts, DEI, CRT, & internal profiling have decimated departments across the western world. Large numbers of competent professional officers left over the past several years. Now you're getting some horrible cretins in uniform.
Fantastic episode! Just a head's up though, Veterans that have honorable and or medical discharges are not Ex-Army. They are Former Army. Ex is for people that we're kicked out with bad discharges.
amazing podcast glad i stumbled on it! Couldn’t turn it off. Im glad though your art you can be safe to express your experiences and process and ultimately heal! Smart men are sooo interesting! Thanks for keeping it real. ❤
They mentioned their mutual friend who directed that movie “Shot Caller”. That was a great film all about prison and the effect it can have on the average Joe.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong but Tyler was so sharp and clear here. He seemed like he had a lot to drink on the SR show and that some memories were eating at him.
A few things may be the cause, firstly, him and Jon are actually friends with mutual acquaintances. Also, this guy is a soldier first and foremost. Wasn’t trained in interview skills while on camera for informative and entertainment purposes. Third, being the soldier he is, a problem solver, he most likely spent the time analyzing that last episode and seeing where he can get better. And lastly, Jon, being his friend, probably sat with him prior and discussed a game plan. What to talk about, the angles to take it, etc.
@@DazeGutterSlabawitz he definitely sounds very different in this video. On the SR show he had glassy eyes was slurring, getting very emotional (obviously for good reason).
Well if you remember, he said he had broken up with someone or something had literally happened to him just 2 weeks before he did the SRS. I did remember reading comments on the SRS that said he seemed WAY off since his podcast with Mike Ritland on the "Mike Drop" podcast.
Great interview Jon, big fan! If want more ideas, would be dope to have an interview on Michael Concepcion story on OG Crips and growing up in LA, getting shot put in wheelchair, and overcoming adversity growing up in the 80s LA landscape. Hmu!
I hate that he so frequently feels the need to apologize for his words before he even says them. Speak freely soldier and who gives a damn what the critics are gonna say
Sociopathy isn’t a disease, the inability to turn it off when not called for is. We are a part of nature not separate from it and sometimes nature’s teeth and claws must be made red.
Damn... this shit hits hard. Got the med boot in 2014 and am now really dealing with the after effects. Thanks for helping me put words to the madness.
I started caring less a few years ago. I stopped following so much and my life has changed so much. I've accomplished more than I ever did before. I'm in better shape, smarter, more skilled and a better husband and father. I've also made friends with people I never even though I would be able to get to shake hands with.
I believe you're selling Tyler short in the title. Delta/CAG/ACE whatever you want to call them is the premier US Tier one Asset. The very top. Rangers are nothing to be overlooked, but being in 'The Unit' is above all else.
Hearing this man's testimony about how he had no choice when it comes to joining the Army, code of honor/chivalry, and how Star Wars imprinted on his life...I get it, I myself and a broken down grizzled veteran (paratrooper 19D)...I get it brother...I get it. I joined during Gulf War and had a 13 year break in service and came back in 2005 to fight , 2009 went to the Stan.
Only a few folks are invited or have the privilege to "master a craft." The thousands of mistakes, hours of practice and the willingness to learn are what needs to collide, just to be prepared for the opportunity. It's work folks and there is no substitute for the work.
Wow I do the same thing with movies. My emotions have been shutdown for a long time but I will cry to a movie alone. I've never heard that and it was like holy shit that's me!
Vaguely, if men are born again, which I am not technically certain if you are but would suspect that you are despite that it may technically be hidden, it needs to seem like it at least a little bit, this world isn’t our reward, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t succeed. We do need to not love money.
Much like the famous quote, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely;" "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." Loving money may not lead to evil in all cases, but it is more likely than not. I guess the point is, it's better not to play with fire cuz you'll likely get burned. So, maybe try not to love money; love people instead.
Just wandered across this. Everything resonated but what was it that caught my attention? Trying to dig a hole with C4. My team had the same experience trying to take down trees to make landing zones. A block of C4 and several wraps of det cord and we were taking the bark off. Like everything in that country has been hardened by thousands of years of war to just resist force.
You was blown up ,thinking you might die, waiting on a religious experience but you say it didn’t happen......you lived, someone with a tourniquet and the knowledge to use it showed up and saved you from bleeding out. The Lord doesn't care about fanfair or doing anything extravagant to get your attention sometimes it's small things you don't think about.
I have learned and recognised so much from this. Even if my experience is like, microscopic, compared to what was expressed. I did make some relatable connections. This was real deep. Thanks..
I'm curious about the mentality of "I just wanted to go to war" no questions asked and no critical thinking. Seems like the most irrational motivation one could have. War for the sake of war. Is this common throughout our military?
Absolutely. Especially in combat arms. I was and almost every guy in my platoon I knew was like that. I was grunt for two deployments 05 and 07 in Iraq. I joined right after high school at 17. In fact, I was delayed entry and did 4 years in JROTC just to get in at a higher rank. My entire life I wanted to be a soldier and go to war. I cannot explain why. My siblings and even family members had nothing to do with the military at all. My dad couldn’t understand it. But growing up, I was feisty. I liked to fight with bullies, i liked contact sports, I was aggressive. I was super protective of my younger siblings and friends. I liked to hunt, shoot, spend time in the woods. I dreamt about combat. And 9/11 happened right before I graduated high school and I knew immediately my calling was there. And then I joined and went. And I saw a lot of shit. But I survived. And at a very dangerous time during the war. I felt fulfilled after 4 years and got out and moved on with my life. I have my political and ethical qualms about what I experienced, but the combat part to me was easy. Even though I scratched that itch, and I Would never want to see war again, if it happens… I’m still ready. I think it’s just something in some guys DNA.
You should check into how difficult it was for Christopher Walken to delve into the movie, "Deer Hunter". I heard it had a very deep lasting effect on him after completion.
Once you're in the P.O.S category, you're fuckin done! That's hardcore and relatable. People always say I'm super nice until they see the scary side. Then it's stay the fuck out his way.

One thing that resonated with me throughout therapy was the emphasis on trauma and it's effects all being relative to the individual. Before that I made the mistake of thinking I was somehow more justified in being messed up and that others couldn't relate because they'd not experienced what I had.
On a scale of 1-10 for instance, if somebody experiences a 7 by being blown up in a warzone and another experiences a 7 by having an argument, the trauma is the same for both those individuals. The body's reaction and the physiological and psychological outcomes are directly comparable, despite the differing origins.
You don't need to be a veteran by any stretch to experience any of the repercussions or effects and you can most definitely develop the same or similar behaviours and thought-processes as a result, we're all human mate. As meaningless as it might seem I hope you're able to process and find your own understanding in your struggles. Wishing you all the best mate.
Thank you guys. I so appreciate these great interviews. I learned so much from them.
He was fucking delta! Don’t sell him short
Yeah Delta Force is the top SF, for sure.
Holy cow he actually released the whole episode on RUclips
2 of my favourite people, love Jon Bernthal as an Actor and Tyler Grey are a great Human being!
His podcast on the Shawn Ryan show is a lot darker for those that want more. Dj Shipley on Shawn Ryan is the heaviest I heard
Have you seen Kyle Morgan? As a vet you just hurt for the guy in that video. You can tell everything he talks about he’s reliving right then. And when they talk about the hotel in Mumbai (I think) dude just went God mode by himself. It’s good. Makes you proud to have been any part of GWOT.
Wow, just found this channel. What a great way of interviewing. Let the guest talk and just drop a few questions. Outstanding interview.
Thanks for full episode
Crazy we have the same religious beliefs and our fathers unfortunately are addicted to Alcohol. My positive chaos is fighting in mma and the grind doing that. Thanks for sharing !
Dude, great video. Jon Bernthal, you and your crew are doing amazing things. Keep it up.
Man I’m so jealous. I was like him, knew I wanted to be an elite soldier or marine since I was out of diapers. Too bad I have asthma :/ at 28 years old in finance, it still fucks with me today as I still believe it to be my true calling
The more i watch into this i realize he and I are nearly identical mindset wise. I'd love to sit down with this guy. my jaw keeps dropping he's explaining my childhood and the way I coped. my love for art and everything he is saying is mirroring me. Idk if it's possible but i really want to meat this guy. I've never met anyone like myself. I'm not alone! I really want to meet this guy. One the other hand maybe we are so alike that we wont have anything to talk about. One person would say something and the other would be like "yeah i agree" silence. lol. but what i'm after is his knowledge about life and just learning about his success and how I can use his experience to augment my life and maybe go somewhere. I'm just spinning my tires i have no purpose or ties but i'm not ready to "leave" just yet.
I love the violence scale. That's a perfect way to describe that situation/mindset.
🇺🇸💪🏻👊🏻🤙🏼
cops call it use of force continuum.
@@polynesia8733 i'm not saying I don't like cops, but I don't like the entire policing system/mentality. Very very extremely under trained. Military special forces I have much more respect for. Just my opinion.
🇺🇸💪🏻👊🏻🤙🏼
@@c_mac7773 FYI, alot of cops were prior military...appreciate your input...
@c_mac7773 . Cutting budgets, witch hunts, DEI, CRT, & internal profiling have decimated departments across the western world.
Large numbers of competent professional officers left over the past several years. Now you're getting some horrible cretins in uniform.
Fantastic episode! Just a head's up though, Veterans that have honorable and or medical discharges are not Ex-Army. They are Former Army. Ex is for people that we're kicked out with bad discharges.
Doesn’t make any difference
@@ViktoriousDead
There is a huge difference between kick out and an Honorable Discharge.
@coinfreak24 HOOAH!
@@slowburnritual3055 majority doesn’t know the difference, it really doesn’t matter. Most folks in the military haven’t done jack shit anyways
Hes right OP. Ex serviceman means former nowadays I thought the same but i just looked it up. 😅
Great podcast.. Loved his talk about his dad and destructive abandonment issues etc.. Love your podcast!. 👊
This interview spoke to me on so many levels. This was awesome!!
Early this time brother! Hope all is good
amazing podcast glad i stumbled on it! Couldn’t turn it off. Im glad though your art you can be safe to express your experiences and process and ultimately heal! Smart men are sooo interesting! Thanks for keeping it real. ❤
They mentioned their mutual friend who directed that movie “Shot Caller”. That was a great film all about prison and the effect it can have on the average Joe.
Solid channel Jon, great theme and content. Thank you. 🙏🏻
courageous in war and courageous honesty
This is so f'kin good! Great work guys.
What a thoroughly interesting guy and of course interviewed by a very engaged and engaging host, awesome job!
If I'm wrong I'm wrong but Tyler was so sharp and clear here. He seemed like he had a lot to drink on the SR show and that some memories were eating at him.
I think he’s just more comfortable with jon perhaps. But I totally noticed that right away
A few things may be the cause, firstly, him and Jon are actually friends with mutual acquaintances. Also, this guy is a soldier first and foremost. Wasn’t trained in interview skills while on camera for informative and entertainment purposes. Third, being the soldier he is, a problem solver, he most likely spent the time analyzing that last episode and seeing where he can get better. And lastly, Jon, being his friend, probably sat with him prior and discussed a game plan. What to talk about, the angles to take it, etc.
@@DazeGutterSlabawitz he definitely sounds very different in this video. On the SR show he had glassy eyes was slurring, getting very emotional (obviously for good reason).
Well if you remember, he said he had broken up with someone or something had literally happened to him just 2 weeks before he did the SRS. I did remember reading comments on the SRS that said he seemed WAY off since his podcast with Mike Ritland on the "Mike Drop" podcast.
Great interview Jon, big fan! If want more ideas, would be dope to have an interview on Michael Concepcion story on OG Crips and growing up in LA, getting shot put in wheelchair, and overcoming adversity growing up in the 80s LA landscape. Hmu!
I really get the " do what you want , i dont care at least itll end. " ive been like that since i lost the love of my life to medical negligence
I hate that he so frequently feels the need to apologize for his words before he even says them. Speak freely soldier and who gives a damn what the critics are gonna say
Man get Andy Lincoln on please lol
You should Appreciate this kind of Interview on this video! Alot of deep stuff being talked about here!
@@misterbobby8913 I did enjoy and appreciate what he's digging into but it would be great if he got Andy on
@@misterbobby8913you’re so right. A real look at a tier one guy that is very open and honest human which is rare anymore
HOOYAHH!!;
@@Garyandtheweeklytophowevermany yes that's exactly why, you never hear many stories from Andy Lincoln on the set with them
Man, fucking awesome interview.
TG is an American badass 🇺🇲🦅
Sociopathy isn’t a disease, the inability to turn it off when not called for is. We are a part of nature not separate from it and sometimes nature’s teeth and claws must be made red.
Thanks for the video. so many of the mental health struggles are part of the artist REN's video Hi Ren. I think it will shed some "light"
Damn... this shit hits hard. Got the med boot in 2014 and am now really dealing with the after effects. Thanks for helping me put words to the madness.
I started caring less a few years ago. I stopped following so much and my life has changed so much. I've accomplished more than I ever did before. I'm in better shape, smarter, more skilled and a better husband and father. I've also made friends with people I never even though I would be able to get to shake hands with.
That was intense A great actor and an elite soldier together very interesting
Jon, it says something that you have no down thumbs on some of your interviews
Great conversation thank you so much for speaking
Awesome conversation 💯👏👏
Deff want to see andrew lincoln on here!!! Itd be cool to see yall reconnect and talk about the walking dead!!
last 10 mins was amazing and insightful
Short time I met him at goruck was awesome. Glad to see him doing well.
Awesome interview, thank for ur service brother 🇺🇸
Doooope interview!
I believe you're selling Tyler short in the title. Delta/CAG/ACE whatever you want to call them is the premier US Tier one Asset. The very top. Rangers are nothing to be overlooked, but being in 'The Unit' is above all else.
Hearing this man's testimony about how he had no choice when it comes to joining the Army, code of honor/chivalry, and how Star Wars imprinted on his life...I get it, I myself and a broken down grizzled veteran (paratrooper 19D)...I get it brother...I get it. I joined during Gulf War and had a 13 year break in service and came back in 2005 to fight , 2009 went to the Stan.
Enjoyable, interesting podcast! Thanks
I'm really liking this podcast. Thank Y'all
This is gonna be good
Only a few folks are invited or have the privilege to "master a craft." The thousands of mistakes, hours of practice and the willingness to learn are what needs to collide, just to be prepared for the opportunity. It's work folks and there is no substitute for the work.
I had no idea Tyler who plays a navy seal on the show seal teams is ex special forces. Pretty cool
1:07:30 wait what?! Damn this episode was so amazing I went back in time!!!! 🤔🫡🫥😶🌫️
Wow I do the same thing with movies. My emotions have been shutdown for a long time but I will cry to a movie alone. I've never heard that and it was like holy shit that's me!
Jon! Where have I been? I'm a big fan and just now learned about your channel!? Glad to sub.
He literally made the best tactically resonating and sound show ever created... hard to watch other war movies after seals
Got rid of my cell phone two years ago…have a house phone for emergency or scheduling appointments otherwise I’ve been in heaven without it
Vaguely, if men are born again, which I am not technically certain if you are but would suspect that you are despite that it may technically be hidden, it needs to seem like it at least a little bit, this world isn’t our reward, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t succeed. We do need to not love money.
Much like the famous quote, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely;" "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." Loving money may not lead to evil in all cases, but it is more likely than not. I guess the point is, it's better not to play with fire cuz you'll likely get burned. So, maybe try not to love money; love people instead.
Just wandered across this. Everything resonated but what was it that caught my attention? Trying to dig a hole with C4. My team had the same experience trying to take down trees to make landing zones. A block of C4 and several wraps of det cord and we were taking the bark off. Like everything in that country has been hardened by thousands of years of war to just resist force.
You was blown up ,thinking you might die, waiting on a religious experience but you say it didn’t happen......you lived, someone with a tourniquet and the knowledge to use it showed up and saved you from bleeding out. The Lord doesn't care about fanfair or doing anything extravagant to get your attention sometimes it's small things you don't think about.
Lots of hugs to Bam Bam !
2145. 😂😂😳 I was optimistic 😂🎯🔥 hilarious. Respect ✊
It was his grandfather in WW2 that he dismissed 13:00
The icon above his father that his animal bonded too
You'd get more views and attention if you said he was a delta operator. Rangers are badass and all but delta is leagues above
Jon bernthal is such a beast the punisher is the best show I’ve ever watched!!!
I have learned and recognised so much from this. Even if my experience is like, microscopic, compared to what was expressed. I did make some relatable connections. This was real deep. Thanks..
I'm curious about the mentality of "I just wanted to go to war" no questions asked and no critical thinking. Seems like the most irrational motivation one could have. War for the sake of war. Is this common throughout our military?
Absolutely. Especially in combat arms. I was and almost every guy in my platoon I knew was like that. I was grunt for two deployments 05 and 07 in Iraq. I joined right after high school at 17. In fact, I was delayed entry and did 4 years in JROTC just to get in at a higher rank. My entire life I wanted to be a soldier and go to war. I cannot explain why. My siblings and even family members had nothing to do with the military at all. My dad couldn’t understand it. But growing up, I was feisty. I liked to fight with bullies, i liked contact sports, I was aggressive. I was super protective of my younger siblings and friends. I liked to hunt, shoot, spend time in the woods. I dreamt about combat. And 9/11 happened right before I graduated high school and I knew immediately my calling was there. And then I joined and went. And I saw a lot of shit. But I survived. And at a very dangerous time during the war. I felt fulfilled after 4 years and got out and moved on with my life. I have my political and ethical qualms about what I experienced, but the combat part to me was easy. Even though I scratched that itch, and I Would never want to see war again, if it happens… I’m still ready. I think it’s just something in some guys DNA.
🤜🏼🤪
It is for warriors.
Love my Jon ❤❤❤❤
We need Marcus Luttrell on
A unique Army warrior.
You should check into how difficult it was for Christopher Walken to delve into the movie, "Deer Hunter". I heard it had a very deep lasting effect on him after completion.
Once you're in the P.O.S category, you're fuckin done! That's hardcore and relatable. People always say I'm super nice until they see the scary side. Then it's stay the fuck out his way.
