Anyone else impressed with Jocko's reading? Jocko's emotional connection with Dynamite's words/experience......Goose bumps.
Jocko should do all SOG audiobooks.
Where was this tuff guy during Covid why didn’t he speek out? Cuz he didn’t want to hurt his brand that’s why. What a big tuff navy seal couldn’t step up to the plate when his country needed him the most. If I was jocko I’d be hiding under a rock. I was handing out flyers in the street when Covid fist hit.
@@oceanair9964 Thanks for jumping in the fray. No doubt Jocko must keep his bearing on some contemporaneous issues. Seriously doubt he fears being silenced by the progressive drones and their media machinery. I’d follow him into battle.
It cracks me up when Jocko is reading a hairy part in the book and starts reading super fast lol
I totayy agree with you.
Jocko’s greatest podcasts are when he has these patriotic SOG American badasses in the studio! 🧨 Dynamite blowing up lately! 🧨
Mr/Dr. Thompson is the very definition of an American warrior. He should make us all proud to be Americans.
He does
Pride is a sin. I don't know why you all feel the necessity to show Pride. It will be the downfall of your country.
SOG stories = instant like and listen. So much respect for them.
Absolutely! These were hard fighting men! I just drove around waiting to hit the next I.E.D. lol
What’s SOG stand for?

Facts
Dr
Thankful for the Men of SOG to tell their experiences. My time in Iraq looks like chuckee cheese compared to what these men went through
Dick Thompsons story about the lights, and the hacking of their secure radios by the North Vietnamese - playing funeral music and reading out their obituaries is one of the most hair raising, epic war stories of all time
We can never underestimate the communists, that's for certain!
Yes!
I thought tilt had the same story
ruclips.net/user/livem1MvvmJF4xM?si=G-3MqsPQZIg1b6t9
My buddy told me they slept in the graveyard to keep them safe…. Slants wouldn’t touch
Yes! I absolutely love the Dick Thompson series, this guy has awesome stories and a legendary career. Thank you Jocko for doing another one!
Great episode... SOG pods are the best. Welcome back, Thompson.
Dick thompson is the man! I squeal like a teenage girl at a taylor swift concert when SOG stories come out! Not even afraid to admit it.
😂
We all do. These guys are the definition of hollywood slick operator doing gnarly shit - these guys lived it man. I’d shit my pants flying into the LZ
I get more excited than a Peruvian girl at a Michael Jackson concert
Yep!
That’s funny. Me too . 👍
Thank you Jocko...we might never of heard, these epic mission...from these epic soliders. And to hear it in theier own words is priceless.please keep bringing SOG guest on, while still doing SOG Cast too.
I know this is a 4.5 hour video/podcast, but I could listen to such a longer one. What an awesome guy Dick Thompson is, and so thankful for the work Jocko and Echo put into these. Such good interviews and Jocko has such a gift to keep the conversation progressing and fluid. Thank you so much for bringing us these SOG videos.
I've never re-listened to a Podcast until Dick Thompson came on Jocko. I've listened to his several times. I'm excited to listen to this one.
I'm so excited for more sog stories. They're the coolest group of men ever. So brave.
This episode was deep af. I have no words. Respect
This guys is the man. Please have him on a regular basis
Easily one of my favorite guests on this podcast. Incredible.
My dad Donald f pope was in macv-sog ccs. He passed away June 8th, 2022. He never talked about it. I really miss him.
Uh huh....
There are many great guests on with Jocko. I'm not saying SOG guys are the best, but there is no other category of guest that compares to them in my opinion.
Jocko...you will probably never see this but...when you interview these SOG guys I just shake my head at their bravery. God bless them all.
Oh hell yeah, Dick Thompson!!!! Love these SOG stories. It's wild to think that these superhuman walk among us on the streets. They stuff they've done and experienced are beyond comprehension. Absolute studs.
Jocko interviews SOG guys it’s like immediate click
Welcome back to the podcast Mr. Thompson!
Dick Thompson could plan my business life for me anyday. Jocko... Sir I can't tell you how much I love the SOG podcasts its probably my favorite content on youtube. Thank you
John Stryker Meyer is awesome for helping make these happen
Goddamn I wish they would make a movie or Mini Series about these guys. It would be incredible 🔥
Mini series definitely. U listening Jocko? ;)
Yeah we need a BoB/The Pacific type of miniseries at least. I imagine it will be like the movie We Were Soldiers except it will have a completely classified element to it. Really interesting.
@@RyanAstutohour long episodes give or take, title would be the name of missions, minimum of 25 episodes. Easy money
Hollyweird will just fuck it up, it would have to be done like the Jack Carrs The terminal list series was done.
They need a TV 📺 show to educate all the generations that are clueless about what these patriotic American warriors went through all our veterans wherever you may be thank you. They could title it as if we did these missions here's what might happen.
Legendary Jocko.
Awesome Dynamite.
Thank you both for your service to our country.
🇺🇸 Welcome home boys. 🇺🇸 SALUTE 🇺🇸
These SOG episodes are my favorites. Just amazing.
YES!! I am ADDICTED to these operators stories, this is so humbling to listen to
I'm currently reading code name dynamite, and haven't got as far as when the Alabama team was split up. This podcast put me quite a bit ahead in the book but am looking forward to hearing all the details Mr. Thompson brings to the pages. Looking forward to reading his next book... God bless you Dick you are a true warrior...
I stopped this podcast one hour in and downloaded the book. It took me two days to knock it out and I cannot wait for part two. Thank you Jocko and Dr. Thompson for sharing this. Truly giants among men.
easily one of the best jockopodcast interviews ever done. This guy is a freaking weapon. Scary as shit. I loved this. Thank you for allowing me to listen in.
You guys are my real life hero's. Thank you and God Bless
Love, the SOG podcasts
Just started doing my deliveries, only doing a half shift tonight and this podcast is literally the perfect length for that. Awesome
Among the best episodes on Jocko's podcast. Gripping, filled with terror and sprinkled with adequate amounts of humor. Kudos to the team!
We need more S.O.G themed movies or TV shows forsure 💪
Freakin love Dick Thompson... he's been here multiple times n his SOG stories are my favorite on this podcast. Thanks for your service sir! Rah! 💪🏾
I interviewed him
ruclips.net/user/livem1MvvmJF4xM?si=G-3MqsPQZIg1b6t9
I hope Jocko narrates the audio version. Thanks for sharing your story sir.
4:08 gave me chills. I believe every word he said.
"Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт" means Handheld Anti-tank Propelled Grenade. The Cyrillic alphabet first letters would sound like R, P, & H; although the second word starts sounding like 'proto', it means against/anti- ....the last word alludes to grenade (under propulsion).
RPG quite fittingly stands for Rocket Propelled Grenade.
Your interview of Dr. Thompson is about as good as it gets. I also appreciate your other excellent interviews; to include "Tilt".
The book, that first got me fired-up about all the Viet Nam history, was by a Huey crew chief serving SOG missions. His name is Roger Lockshier, and the book, "Saving SOG Souls". Since that book (read & re-read several times), I've discovered JOCKO as being a formidable contributing facilitator, to all matters of respecting Life, Liberty, and what America's Forefathers cherished as greatness. Someone to've been honored to serve under.
Bona suerte Colone!
Much love and respect from Cleveland… hearing these make my big day problems seem so small
Mr Thompson is one accomplished man! What a life!
Jocko, me and I know many other love these podcasts more than you know. I turned one of my friends on to your cannel and specifically the SOG episodes. We talk on the weekends when he drives back from his Band shows. These episodes are a frequent topic of conversation. We are in our early 40's and we love these. These are very 'high vibration' shows and do a lot of good for people even if they are just old war stories....They have an extremely positive impact. Thank you, brother.
Thank you for this.
Respect from Romania 🇷🇴
I just ordered the book! So excited to read more stories. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
My Dad was MAC V SOG man, 7 purple hearts
All that matters is money
@@ThePresentation010 how long did it take you to come up with that?
@FeWolf just letting you know some adult knowledge.
A man can have 50 purple hearts and be homeless or away in a shelter/home/rehab somewhere.
The bosses- little hats who run the game, world, military, etc.
They don't give a f bout some piece of rock. It's all about the money.
50 purple heart man can't eat without money.
They're good for stories. But stories won't pay for meals.
@@ThePresentation010 really has nothing to do with subject, but since you are on the subject, some veterans and others want to be homeless by choice, I worked with veterans post military service, and yes those purple hearts, earned you respect of your brothers' in arms, which many of us got a job because of our deeds in military service, because we earned respect, I was hired, 2x purple hearts without ever applying for a job while in service, no interview, nothing same with my father. In military, we take care of each other, in and out of service, the "Brotherhood", post military service we look for this but it can not be found. No matter who is pushing the buttons, it has little to do with your life, compared to those that are part of circle of your life, those have the real influence in and out of life. Unless you served than you can not understand. If you would actually listen and what the Jocko talks about, "Personal Responsibility"
These episodes are absolutely the best . True heros!!
The last podcasts with Dick Thompson is one of my favorites, I bought his book after hearing it. I'm fired up he's back on.
How’s the book?
I read a book many years ago call no greater love about a sog team out in the field. And then another a decade or so later titles the dying place.. both were couched as "fiction" novels because of the NDA they had to sign. Since then ive read john stryker meyers book, brockhousens books, franklin millers book, john plasters book and several other about air america the ravens and more concerning the secret war in laos. And most recently mr Thonpsons book. Thee needs to be a band of brothers type series about these men and their incredible missions. Incredible history and badassery
Love the SOG stories. I am good friends w/ a vietnam chopper pilot from '63-'65 who had missions around the DMZ. He once told me he was picking up an 8 man team who was about to get sandwiched, but eliminated the NVA approaching the team's rear. Legends.
Dick, I lived 4 houses down from Raymond Stacks in Memphis. We went to same school all 12 years, though Ray was 6 years older than I. Ray was a great athlete though could be a little dorky sometimes. Just made you like Ray more, what I’m interested in Dick, do you remember Raymond’s call sign, yours was Dynamite, we had Tilt, do you remember Raymond’s? Thanks lots Dick & Jocko. You too Echo
Total power move when Dick grabbed that Ka-Bar. Much respect Sir.
More SOG please
I avoided Jock for so long in my suggested podcasts for so long and now it’s in my top five podcasts.. I guess the algorithms know more than I give them credit for 😊
Same dude… I thought jocko stopped doing podcasts until I checked about 2 weeks ago. Still nothing and BAM!!! This is up in my notifications all of a sudden…
Just re listened to his first appearances last week. Hyped
For those interested, "21 Years: A folded flag" is available on RUclips with what was a live Q&A.
*Jocko Willink is the Reluctant Leader we need.*
.....We know you've done enough, but your Nation needs you.

Really enjoyed listening to Mr. Thompson's experiences in Vietnam. Absolutely eye opening the fear and challenges SOG Warriors had to overcome just to stay in the fight. Towards the end of the podcast, I can tell Mr. Thompson has retained many of the skills he acquired to become one of the world's most dangerous trained killers.
Jocko should start doing the readings for audio books
Another awesome podcast. These men are BADASS 's
I been studying SOG & LRRP since I was maybe 12; I am 44 now. I’ve met a couple of LRRP men who have books or are mentioned in books, but I want to actually meet some SOG guys. What an amazing bunch of brave men! Unbelievable! I been reading what i could find in SOG long before they all finally started telling their stories. They are in my opinion, the hardest warriors of modern history. Can you imagine..knowing you were facing odds like that yet calling it “reconnaissance”!? Wow. Thank you for the SOG men’s service and sacrifice.
@@MynameIsunavailable... SOG by John Plaster. SOGCAST (podcast). Uncommon Valor, can’t remember the author. Dawson War is supposed to be a good’n too. On The Ground and Across The Fence by John Stryker Meyer. Also check out The Reconnaissance Cast (podcast)
Make this an audible book, please!
The dedication that Jocko has shown to the SOG guys is legendary. You're doing a great service offering a platform to share the experiences of these often forgotten American fighting men. Bravo!
Just read the book. wow. the learnings at the end of each chapter were also excellent.
My favourite podcasts or stories,and iam not American or military.
But the life lessons and the stuff they went trough its just priceless.
Thank you sirs and all that made this possible ❤
Dr. Thompson I think it would be incredible if you did a audio form of your two books, so the emotional connection of these stories could be brought to life.
just finished both books. outstanding!!! this guy is the real John Rambo and then a lot more! the stories are wild!!!!!
Gotta get this book... you're a true badass! I was ten years old in '69 , playing war games in the fields of South Florida. Joined the Marine Corps. Infantry out of highschool. Thank you! For your great .. sacrifice! Semperfi!
Dick Thompson is probably my hero, a leader i hope i could just BARELY touch upon to grow as a man
I wish I could be him is what I mean, simply
Knowing I couldn't ever irl.
Dr Thompson is the most fearsome warrior I have ever heard of, the stories that he recalls from his actions in south east Asia are so amazing it seems almost super human.
Jocko could actually read a little bit slower and it would be smoother and easier to read. At least when I read aloud if I relax you slip into a rhythm and you read very well.
Dick, I'd wish nothing more than to meet you someday. I live in GREENWOOD SC, about 1 hour from Walhalla. You make me proud to have served. SEMPER FI
Wow! Ordered the book. War is hell. Thank you Sir
Im surprised the helicopters could even take them to the LZ due the wieght of their massive balls
The SOG podcasts...just hypnotizing! Incredible warriors! I feel silly saying it, thank you for your service and your sacrifice!
I bought the book a few weeks ago. A fantastic and must read. Like Jocko says "buy the book".
Benet destroyed me when you guys said that boy made a documentary about his dad said 21 years in a folded flag because that's all he's known that is ripped my heart out of my chest may God bless and keep this your man close to
The MONKEY BUSINESS story is the best I've ever heard (3:48) I will be laughing about that one for a long time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣I don't know how Jocko could read it with a straight face. Surely had to do several takes.
Dick Thompson is my favorite Jocko Podcast guest, so please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think there's anything funny about a bunch of Orangutans getting eviscerated by a Spectre gunship...They were non-combatants, definitely a tragedy. They have been observed using tools (there's video of it), and obviously as Dick mentioned they would run off with your gear. So they aren't just mindless automatons like a bunch of bacteria, they lie somewhere on the sentience spectrum and are a lot closer to us than bacteria in terms of sentience. I don't think you would find it funny if a gunship accidentally eviscerated a bunch of dogs or cats, would you? Then why would it be funny for a bunch of Orangutans to be torn up?
@@PhillyEaglesFanatic Sorry, there are some of us who may disagree. SO, you are out there fighting the enemy, and you have to contend with these big critters who will assault you and take your gear. Not cool. Besides, it was an accident. The military had good reason to suspect that these were the (human) enemy. And in sense, they were...the enemy. A family member worked in research, and they hate monkeys. One spit in the face of a research handler and she died of Herpes B, even after following protocols; only takes one drop. (Elizabeth Griffin, 22, Emory U., Atlanta, Dec. 1997)They will sh!t in their hand and throw it at you. They are like humans with absolutely no principles whatsoever, unless they are trained. And even then, a serious risk. Remember the lady who got her face ripped off by a PET monkey? Nope, wouldn't want to deal with an army of these savages on a mission. Cute is framed, but is not reality, esp in the wild.
If you haven't ordered it yet, please, do yourselves a favor and get Dynamite's new book!
Jocko you should do an episode with a Rhodesian light infantry trooper!
I always supported the guys who had to fight in Vietnam
Huge respect to the sog warriors , and this remarkable man
Just finished the book--in one day. Awesome. Sooo much respect and wonder.
I'm reading his book now. I've listened to the previous podcasts with Mr Thompson and they are excellent.
AMAZING episode. Dynamite is still a total badass and looks like could still be doing missions!
Echo Charles 😂😂😂 "good to see ya again" I'm weak
You know I know it's amazing to hear these stories of stuff but it definitely feels your assistant in my heart for the ones that sat behind them desk and push our people around like the little ponds and don't even know what their life value is and like the extreme of what war really does and I don't know because I've never been involved but I tell you now what it does to my heart when I hear these stories that it definitely brings a lot of pain but then a lot of resentment for the military in the United States of America people that like just push these ponds around like they're just a number you know the way it sounds it's like maybe one out of 10 kernels or captains or whatever care about these young men that are coming in there and maybe I'll completely wrong but it just kills me when I heard that young boy say you know 21 years and a folded flag you know I'm probably speaking out of emotions because like I love people and I love the fact that people get to be dads and people get to be bombs and experience what it is that little touch of God in that moment and to have that all ripped away from you because you know and I don't know the background I don't know the story about trying to stop you know a bunch of people from trying to push a communist world
This is such a valuable podcast. Not just for the cool war stories. Dick Thompson is a bit like Victor Frankl in that he could provide an analysis of his responses to his high stress experience. I highly recommend his book 'The Stress Effect: Why Smart Leaders Make Dumb Decisions - And What to Do About It' for anybody in a first responder role.
I interviewed him
ruclips.net/user/livem1MvvmJF4xM?si=G-3MqsPQZIg1b6t9
Please keep these up jocko!
I usually can’t listen to anything more than about 30 minutes. I couldn’t stop watching this! I’m non military , but very interested in American history. How in gods name did any of you survive!? Huge kudos to all you warriors.
Incredible stories. Can’t believe this guy is even alive.
What I'd give just to be in the same room as some of these guys. Much respect from a Marine...
being in a recon team of 7-8 guys picking fights with a battalion sized element is a whole different definition of giant iron balls
Yes! New content with my favorite SOG vet
being reading and listening nothing else but Vietnam SOG stories for the past 6 months Unreal
Srgt deck seems extra hard. Who’s happy about being in these types of firefights incredible what warriors these guys were.
I love Tilt, Spider, Pat Watkins, all the SOG guys but something about Dick Thompson just makes me feel like a little boy looking at his favorite superhero
These men in SOG are LEGENDS AND HEROS
SOG is one of the most fascinating missions in history.
I read that book these dudes are on another level especially the one zeroes!
Man, this is good. I put this on and just ran for 75 minutes without thinking about it.
This guy is the absolute best! 🤣 I loved the first 2 episodes with him, he’s hilarious.
