    4:00:00 to 4:05:45 is life changing advice from Braxton's Glass Factory book, immensely powerful book. "Slay your dragons, or they will consume you." God bless you both Braxton and Jocko and thank you for sharing your stories.

    Thank you. This was a powerful podcast. I did 3 tours in Iraq with the 1rst Cav as a Cavalry Scout. A lot of what he said hit home in a big way. I lost a lot of friends, had friends maimed for life and barely made it alive myself. Important lessons learned and inspiring

      My unit had the honor of serving next to 1-12 Cav in Baqubah. We came in there full of arrogance thinking we were there to just do someone else’s job again by clearing their AO. We quickly found out otherwise. We were humbled the first day. Nothing but respect for those tough sob’s from 1-12. Outside of my unit 5-20 Inf, I respect those men the most.

    The part where the gate guards stopped them when he was wounded reminds me of my time in Baghdad. We got hit bad with an ied. Most of my platoon was wounded. Just me and a few other guys were completely unwounded. We're hauling ass through fob Falcon to the brigade aid station and a major stops us for exceeding the fob speed limit. My squad leader straight let him have it. He was wounded through the throat himself and he was screaming to get f*ck out of our way 🙌

    Mental game changer. "How did I do that?... No amount of self gratification could carry me through it. My own ego was not enough..." His respect for someone ELSE drove him to a major accomplishment of his own that no one else could claim. The importance I see in that is the self awareness it takes to know that not everyone can just hype themselves up. Not everyone is driven by or for themselves. That's not how individuality works.

I volunteered for service in the airforce and navy because I had a dream of being a fighter pilot.

      Only in America do citizens Hyphenate their own nationality, which diminishes their own identity as Americans; by using an ethnonym.
      There is no such thing as a *"__[insert race]__-American"*.
      Anyone who conflates the terms ethnicity and Nationality; clearly doesn't know by contrast, how America is one of the most diverse and least racist countries in the world, because the whole world flocks here in hopes of becoming Americans.
      ps. The best way to take the wind out of a racist's sails, is asking them "What does an American look like?"

      second,
      america IS very identitarian even if it's not "racist",
      the whole "people prefixing their american identities with "black" "white" "asian" is a reflection of the very materialistic concepts we impose everyday towards other things:

Conflating “Americanness” with cops & soldiers is as flawed a mindset as it gets.
