    Goggins talks about BUDS to motivate others, there's nothing wrong with that. Going from someone who dropped out of pararescue training, to the 37th African American to graduate in the history of BUDS is beyond motivating. I read his book during my spinal cord injury recovery last year (fully paralyzed) and I'm not sure if I would of stretched my mind to run a marathon 11 months later if it wasn't for him. Him talking about missions, and the badassery of his war experience wouldn't have an impact on others. He's one of the realest guys out there, not just trying to make money, and become famous. Beyond respectable.

      Dan Bilzerian(who was never a SEAL but who was in the Navy for four years and went through BUDS...twice, I believe )also talks about BUDS the same way that Goggins does and in a very different way from Jocko. Bilzerian talks about BUDS exactly the way that Leif said that guys who never experienced combat tend to talk about BUDS. I guess Bilzerian is another guy that we aren`t likely to see on the Jocko podcast.

      True. He wanted to test his mind and body in prep for life. Really was never about "war". That's why he went to ranger school after.

      Caleb Hollars Gogginns did want to be a SEAL, it was his dream. But once he became a SEAL he found his purpose wasn’t to just be a seal but to push his physical and mental limits as far as he can and then some. He tried to get into seal team 6 and delta force he became an army ranger he deployed and went to war. People act like all Goggins did was work out but if you read his book you would understand his life is not what you thought it was.

      @@kevinjohnson6549 exactly. Goggins literally just goes beyond the higher standards. Not to say that jocko doesnt but this is what makes the seal teams special, every individual is specialized some way or the other and they all work together and make things happen. Goggins is the sort of guy who isnt afraid to run 135 miles in a single day nor is he afraid to bust down a door that has 5 bad guys with Aks all aiming at the door. He has proven himself to be a seal and no one can take that away from him. Especially fucking civilians who say"what a fucking idot "when a pro basket ball player misses a shot while they're at home, fat as shit and watching the game on tv, just being plain out pathetic and envious.

    These two gentlemen sum it up well nicely...I went thru Marine boot camp in '68 when it was pretty damn brutal and savage but at the end of the day you still got three meals a day and a rack to sleep in and nobody was trying to kill you. When I got to Vietnam (7/2 and then 3/1) and would be out patrolling for weeks on end watching Marines die every day, and would be thirsty and hungry and tired all the time I used to pray and wish to be back on Parris Island. Training is one thing and high intensity warfare is quite another.

When you go into combat the stakes are significantly higher and things are infinitely less predictable than anything that happens in training. It's still possible to die in training but they make a hell of an effort to make it as unlikely as they can.

      We have hours of NFL footage to design a training program around. If women *can’t* be trained to handle being a linebacker and win, then that would surprise me and has pretty important implications.
      We train infantry not just to be able to fight ill-led muj in Ramadi, but to be able to credibly threaten well-led Russian troops trying to roll towards Gdanzk. If the People’s Liberation Army lands on Taiwan and takes 15% of the Island, who’s going to get sent in to accomplish goals while enduring trauma? The infantry.

We know that obviously doesn't mean that men can't be SEALS. A fraction of a fraction of a fraction of women probably qualify to be SEALS, too. I say let them.

      The greatest contribution to the current military leadership platform is that we have new up-and-coming amazing guys coming in all the time. There is a spectrum of all types, personalities, etc coming in. That in and of itself is great, but that is not the whole ball game. What I saw happen are these great and amazing guys who leave as 4 year PFCs and 8 year LCpls who were stacked with more chest-piece eyecandy than our SSgts. I saw these amazing Marines who knew what war was. I had the honor of being mentored by these outstanding guys who could really break down the motions and training environments/scenarios to an understandable degree; guys who excelled in what they did. They all left because they saw they had more to offer than what the Corps would allow them to give. They were capable of performing and doing better, but were held back by the Corps. So what ends up happening is all these phenomenal guys leave, because they are so sick of the BS, then guess what you're stuck with. All you have left are the sandbaggers and guys who have sub-par reasons for sticking around, either from institutionalization, or ignorance about the world, or some other negatively contributing aspect that has them making the decision to stick around. They end up staying until they either A) get kicked out or B) the Corps just throws rank at them. Now, there are crappy "leaders" in positions they never should be in simply because they were "the best" option available from the pool of people who brown nose or are yes men.
      -
      And then we all sit back and wonder why the military is inefficient in the details of its planning, implementation processes. We wonder why we are standing in formation from 0400 to 1300 at parade rest just waiting for the Battalion Commander to release us for liberty. There is an infinite number of better and more productive ways in how to use time, train, and spend money. However, it's not always bad. There are the occasional good guys who actually make it to a position they deserve and just as the shit rolls down the hill, so does the positive influence of these good leaders who are few and far between.
      -
      If the military focused on cleaning out their shitbag leaders, this would leave the opportunity for the real heros of war to step up and be recognized to do what they can to further propel the military in the forward moving progressive place it should have been all along.

    I would love see Jocko Willink and David Goggins appear on a podcast together. I have seen the same suggestion made countless times on other RUclips videos and generally it is motivated by people wanting to see two ‘badasses’ join forces and create epic content. I for one would like to see the two men amicably communicate their differences in objectives, perspectives and experiences. Seeing such opposing members of the SEAL fraternity engaged in such a dialogue would be incredibly insightful and provide many lessons for all interested. I have followed both individuals closely and it is clear that similarity is not what will bring them together, but, after a few years of listening to them engaged in comfortable conversation with individuals who are already inclined to agree with them (whether it be because they are in awe of their very presence and accomplishments or because they are old friends or members of the same circles and/or schools of thought) I feel it would refreshing to see them hold their own against another military man whom they do not see eye to eye with on things.
    The snippet of Jocko and Leif describing BUDs made it very apparent how far apart one side is from the other. Whilst I do not see it as thinly veiled shot at Goggins as some have interpreted it to be, it is still a telling example of the chasm in attitudes between the two parties. It would be interesting for them to hear them explain and compare their attitudes towards Hell Week, the SEAL teams, combat, leadership and life itself.

      @@xringkiller The average member of the military never sees combat. Those who do have a lot more training than the average soldier. And I'm sure most NFL players would not fair well in a combat environment.

    Has anyone else ever had those really lucid dreams where they’re hiding from someone with a gun trying to kill them? Maybe I’m alone in this but that scared shitless feeing you have and the fucking relief you get when you wake up really puts things into perspective for me when it comes to combat. Not that it’s the same thing obviously it’s just a dream but it’s real in your mind when you are dreaming. Imagine being deployed and feeling that in an actual firefight. These guys are true fucking warriors for volunteering for that.

    I see some people talking about Goggins, and I think the reason he talks about it much more is bc of where he came from. He came from a bad home and when he decided he wanted to become a seal he was unmotivated and extremely out of shape. To be fit enough and pass through training as hard as buds was a huge milestone for him. For someone like jocko who i think was pretty fit leading into training, it’s probably not that big a deal.

      Jocko basically says it just a training to do "the job". Goggins act like it all about himself not the team, like it's a gym or rehab
      military is a job and it's bigger than individual
      no wonder goggin has terrible reputation within the teams

      False.
      There is no record of Spartans making that quote.
