    I don't think enough people appreciate how hard this man must've worked to make it in SOF at his height.

      Right! I wish he’d go more in depth about it

      Not really, ton's of short men in sof.... Really comes down muscle endurance/muscle mass and cardio for a body type not height.

      @tonykeast9966 Месяц назад +6

      Less short men have been shot in the head in combat. They are way better at using cover! Statistically, being 5'4" has giant advantages in a warzone. 😎

    Such awesome questions yet again Mike. I've been watching for almost as long as you've been doing the show and am always impressed at how you manage to ask stuff I'd both want to ask and stuff I'd never think to ask but would love to know the answer to.

    1:55:02 A10 & AC130… still the best at the job after being around for 60+ years. Trillions of cumulative $ spent on developing and building F35, 22, etc and the old proven designs still dominate!!

    • @danielsummey4144
      @danielsummey4144 Месяц назад +1

      A-10 and AC-130 would both be useless in a war against anyone but villagers living in mud huts.

    Jared is such a down to earth man, he's almost seems unassuming, and then you realize that hey, this really isn't probably somebody you wanna mess with. Very cool interview. Listening before bed. Mike's voice is so soothing. It's like wearing a warm blanket, if that makes any sense at all, lol. The woman that gets to wake up to the sweet nothings in that voice is one of the luckiest women on Earth, not to mention he's just such an awesome guy, intelligent and handsome to boot. I'm totally fan girling here, lol 😅. Moment of realization though, Jordan Peterson brought up something about what makes a good man. It was something to the effect of "a good man is a very dangerous man that has his dangerous ability under control. Mike and a lot of his guests make me think of this quote a lot. We definitely need more men like these in the world. I don't understand the push of modern society to feminize men. Toxic masculinity is a guy that beats his wife or bullies someone weaker then him, not just a man being a man. Masculinity is not toxic, and it's very much needed in this world. It's those good masculine men that are the protectors from the weak, toxic men. This and podcasts like it give me hope for our society that real men still exist.
