Well, the Marine that wrote the letter has surfaced and is sticking to his story. Now what?
can you link some proof?
Just watched it.. the only redemption Jocko has is to go on Green Beret Chronicles with the boy's and see how these stories differ!!
@@bradd8383 agreed. I believe 100% of the claims made against the SEAL community. I think they need to hash it out. The fact that something like this is even coming out just shows that SOMETHING occured. It's hard to believe all of the claims made against them are all lies. Something happened. There's what GBC said, what the SEAL community says, and the truth.

Is any one really surprised that Punisher Cartman has some Skeletons in his closet? Like seriously if your best defence is "murder is a crime, criminals are in jail and i'm not in jail" you got some screw lose
Hes guilty
You clearly don’t know crap about crap.
@@sapper3504 I know enough about crap to know when its coming out of your mouth or puts on a uniform
@@sapper3504 so tell us about youself?
It's par for the course. Not very surprising and I can't say it's "wrong."
Infantry Marine here,1st BN 2nd MAR DIV Charlie Company, OIF 2003 Task Force Tarawa. This is the response I was waiting for.
Served with Graham...not during Ramadi but after. As a boot drop to these guys I remember a lot of them talking about the gov center and remember them being very angry about this situation.
Was there a hand receipt signed for those MP5s that you claimed to have "loaned" to that Marine in 3/8? Wouldn't serialized equipment loaned to another unit require a hand receipt? Plus didn't 3/8 have their own supressors? Who witnessed you loaning out those MP5s? Finally why don't you, Jay and Eric sit down and discuss this face to face? Or the Marine who wrote that letter? He has come forward.....
This!
This dude is a coward
Brah, teams regularly failed to coordinate with battle space owners in Mosul 2007-2009, and it caused all kinds of shit for us as the battle space owners. This line that not coordinating with other units was death shit is disingenuous. Rangers, MIT, and PIT teams as well as yes SEALs were all guilty of it, as were conventional ground forces. At least that’s the Iraq I remember.
The SEALS think Jocko is a toolbag for many more reasons than what you listed above. Lots of them coming out now. In Afghanistan 2010-2011 I didn't have any major issues with de-conflicting fires, coordinating with adjacent units, communicating with each other with up to battalion size attacks.
Both Eric Deming (SEAL) and Jay Dorleus (Green Beret Chronicles) have said….”Come over and speak to us face-to-face on camera and clear the air” How about it?
And give those two drama queens views and attention? Where is their actual evidence? All I heard was gossip and hearsey. Calling someone with a large social media following a war criminal and a conman without solid evidence is a great way to get yourself sued for slander.
@@gavbrescu911bro they just had the Marine XO who wrote the letter - that jocko said wasn’t real - on to interview him
@@gavbrescu911 kzhead.info/sun/aKVslqenhIanoJs/bejne.htmlsi=qz2_woh0O5L6RPrC This is the marine xo who wrote the letter - who isn’t one of the two drama queens you’re referring to
And that marine XO is mentioned in another video and sounds like he had some issues himself @matthewpyke5602
Jocko is scared to face the truth.
>killed a civilian good >the locals are killing marines in retaliation? good >everyone in the AO my team operated in called us reckless assholes good >chris kyle added his civilian casualties to his "confirmed kill" count good Dude, Jocko. How many people do you expect us to believe are lying about you?
How about you do your research. This Eric dude is lying, and so is the fake letter. We know this because the number of deaths is public information. The letter says 37 Marines died because of Jocko's team. Only 17 died, and all 17 have full investigations. Iraq war was the most scrutinized war in human history. Every death on either side is investigated.
This new green beret chronicles video has two marines on it. They are saying they saw task force unit bruiser kill civilians. One of them was an officer.
Neither one of them said they saw it. They said they were told that’s what happened.
@@lasteem1well you are a confirmed liar as Graham one of the marines clearly said he saw people being shot that shouldn't from the gov center
kzhead.info/sun/aKVslqenhIanoJs/bejne.htmlsi=pzfYCjgOCMI41Dy9
@@TheIvanMilky what time stamp in the video did he say this?
@@lasteem1 You obviously haven't watched all of it and I'm not here to fill your empty head in either
The problem is there are rangers reporting the same thing. It’s multiple people speaking out. Why would they all falsely target jocko for? Doesn’t make sense to do.
I've seen Rangers, Green Berets, other big dog Seals, Marines etc. Green Beret Chronicles covers it several times and his newest episode has 4 guys from different branches speak on it.
Yup
@@Kharmatos13 I’m sure that perception plays a roll though. Jocko’s definitely differs from the current consensus.
As if its impossible for them to coordinate their stories beforehand. It does make it seem less likely, but in the world we live in, unfortunately wouldn't surprise me. Everyone wants clout
@@chickenfishhybrid44That makes absolutely no sense at all
The last 10 minutes sounds like the guy at the end of the movie trying to make an emotional appeal right before being found guilty and getting the electric chair.
Yeah it was hard to listen to because it’s so out of character for jocko. Where there’s smoke there’s fire
Good
Turned into a motivational speech and to live your life better lol
Why does nobody ask why he hasnt went through chris kyles book with all of his outrageous claims. Particularly in 2005 when hurricane Katrina happened, and kyle claims he smoked looters. When at that time, he should've been training up for this deployment?
As in he would have been in training at the time? The military sometimes allows active duty members to assist in disaster response, so it's not impossible he could have been there even though he didn't actually snipe people.
Alot of units went to help in 2005. My entire company went from Ft Hood. Its not weird that military members went to help.
Chris Kyle is a wanker. I'm glad Jesse Ventura won his lawsuit.
@@buffhorses3632 7.62mm help? 🤣
Why isn't there any actual record of him being there?
Clouding the issue in the second half of this video when talking about how all ops had to be approved. Having approval for an op doesn’t signify what actually takes place on the op. It doesn’t implicitly explain away who is left dead on the floor of a target site, or why, when everyone withdraws. As a Marine sniper I will testify that there are so, so many times when NO ONE can see what a sniper can see through his optic, meaning that the person in the window 600m away can’t be seen by anyone but me. So, if I were to pull the trigger and call a hit, no one knows the status of the endexed target but me. It’s very easy to do things no one will know about in so many situations, even when you have other troops supporting your mission. He keeps talking about people “in the know”. Yes, Jocko. A lot of us are in “the know” and not in the way you describe. We actually do know and we know how easy it was to do things that simply stayed in-house. You know it and so do we. For everything that someone happened to see indicators of things you guys are accused of, there is the iceberg of what isn’t seen. Facts, and true for any unit. The things you do for free for people? You do it for free for marketing your brand. Naval Special Bookfare.
says the expert.
@@GodanHatamoto hey smart ass. To your point. It doesn’t take an expert. All it takes is someone who has actually been in combat to know the truth of these things. Not like you who is probably just a civilian fanboy acolyte who follows blindly out of cool guy worship.
Thanks for your insight, and professional opinion. It's obvious to many of us, and you articulated it perfectly for the general public.
He never addresses the source for most of these recent accusations. They come from a fellow SEAL who WAS there, but he’s acting like they’re coming from the peanut gallery.
Yap and I can tell you as a service member and afgan veteran unless you were wanting to shit on any chance of you possibly ever being even seen out in public without being ridiculed and ashamed you would never ever ever make up those types of accusations. No way no how
He addressed one inaccurate detail and used that to try to discredit the entire argument.
Now also coming from a Marine Commanding officer who was there
Which SEAL was there? Deming?
@@user-fm1kd6mi8n Yep, according to him. By “there”, I mean in senior noncom leadership of the SEALs.
The only thing i got out of all this is the value of the silent professional.
Exactly. These guys want to yell and boast and make money off their service. A quiet Proffesion does not. The type of personality that has a podcast like this, is the type that would lie, cheat steal and do anything to get ahead.
Lol nothing silent about Jocko
Silent professionals only benefit the military and thw crimes they are covering up
I think it's fair to talk about things that happened almost two decades ago, at that point it's history and we should be studying it and reflecting on it.
Bro.....bro....just be fuckin honest. Holy shit. Yall figured out how to get passed the ROEs cmon man. Make the seals look bad. And how are 30+ marines reports false? Cmon
When fact checking, should I ref the same sources used for Lone Survivor or American Sniper? Time to put the extreme in extreme ownership my friend
EXTREMELY EXTREME.....I got a lump in my throat and my heart skipped when Eric said Marcus ran and when picked up had almost all his Ammo...Predator feed and Green Beret testimony.....Damn
@@richardclary6267 exactly man. Someone reposted the interview Luttrell did with Anderson Cooper when he calls himself a coward bc he put his gun down and covered his ears when his friend was dying calling him for help. Disgusting.
There’s so many allegations against the seals. It’s hard to be supportive especially with all the internal drama that has gone on within the teams over the years.
kzhead.info/sun/aKVslqenhIanoJs/bejne.html
@@richardclary6267 ive heard this before too. Multiple people came out about Luttrell's ammo. Major failure Op Redwings was.
Fun fact. It wasn’t just Task Force Bruiser. We had SOF guys in an out of my AO on deployments. The only ones that never told us they were kicking around in our backyard was SEAL teams. I can count on more than one occasion of near blue on blue incidents because of it. I don’t care how super elite operator you are, A Brad crew can see you in the dark.
This is a very good point. Ego has no place in a serious business like war.
Brother from 1st Battalion 3rd Marines here…. And I know for a fact… whenever the SEALS were around,,,, they brought that same essence as a Cobra… I just felt better and more protected when they were around… thank you!
I was gonna say, just ask the Marines who were there. Semper Fi.
Jocko should run for president, probably why he is getting attacked like this to warn him what kind of monster he would be dealing with if he was thinking going political.

@@Zuke89 low IQ response
Great insight thank you
This is what happens when you put NAVY seals in a Marine and /or Army infantry battlespace. What in the world do seals know about taking and maintaining ground in a battlespace anyway? Everyone wants to dance but not everyone got on dancing shoes. Seals are like the Marine Infantry's little kid brother always wanting to get into the big fights. Let the Infantry guys do the dirty work and stick to the books and movies.
The fact is a lot people are fucking pissed off about the truth coming out regarding Roberts Ridge, Operation Redwings and many other SEAL related cover ups. A small entity of SEAL leadership tried to completely distort and manipulate the truth on what happened in all these instances and it has deeply damaged the reputation of NSW. Now do I think Jocko is relevant to those events? No, and nor is he obligated to speak on them. Jocko can only speak to where he was in the specific time frame of the GWOT and the people he commanded in Iraq. A lot of people are trying to put all the NSW BS that has transpired over 20 years and putting it at the feet of Jocko because of his success as a public figure and his platform. The only thing for me that I’m really not sure about is Chris Kyle. That dude flat out “bragged” about punching Jessie Ventura in the face and sniping looters from a sports stadium during the Katrina disaster. Among other things, that Antihero podcast and Green Beret Chronicles was not the 1st time Kyle has been accused of lying, exaggerating, beating his wife and killing unarmed civilians. IMO, Jocko absolutely is obligated to talk about him and the allegations. Jocko was not only in charge of Chris Kyle in TF Bruiser, but a lot of Jockos original fame came from that past relationship and the success of American Sniper. In that separate case, I would like to get some context from Jocko.
Chris Kyle's numbers are so outrageous (even compared to people doing the same job at the same time in the same place), mathematically he was either a liar everyone decided to profit from or his leaders decided to look the other way knowing fully he was a psycho willing to target anybody for any reason, including his own satisfaction.
If you have any question on Chris’s character then look at what he did after he got out. He helped physically and mentally wounded vets. Thats not the actions of someone who cared for nothing but his legacy and fortune. If any of this was true, Jocko and everyone else would still be in prison. Those on the different side of politics no way would not bite on that story for over 20 years because they goodness in their heart and didnt want to tarnish this country or its troops reputation? Yeah the truth is right there plain as day..
@@maverick744 .. And Chris was literally murdered by a “physically and mentally” wounded veteran. What’s your point? All disabled veterans are Saints and Chris is automatically exempt from any past wrong doing because he helped former vets? I’m not saying Chris is guilty btw, just asking questions.
Chris Kyle is a certified liar!!
Well said in your original comment. I agree.
As Paul Harrell did, sometimes you need to speak up or some will think you give tacit approval to what was said.
Paul Fokken Harrell. 🤌
Please don't compare this tool to Paul Harrell!
Jocko allowed Chris Kyle to operate recklessly on the battlefield.
Joko is gonna delete your comment like he always does
Good
@@jayr3381 Yeah...the extreme ownership...of the comments section xD
Jocko is, at best, covering Kyle's crimes. At worst he's a serial war criminal.
I been reading and seeing reports about this. I’m been Waiting on this Response. My little brother served in Ramadi in 06 in the Army and we have spoke about this. It infuriates him that these accusations are being made Especially when there are some not here today to defend themselves against these heinous Attacks. I would like to personally thank Task Force Bruiser for bringing my Brother home. He told me that his unit came under heavy fire and had it not been for you and your team he and his unit would have suffered heavy casualties and that he might not of made it Home from that Deployment. Thank you so much Task Force Bruiser Rest in Peace to your Fallen Brethren! May they’re Memory forever Live on in your hearts and minds As well as the Patriotic Americans that honor them to this Day
What an impressive outcome. Glad he made it back.
This seems to somehow have been posted the moment this video was posted. Interesting.
@@renewed6250 and why are random words capitalized? also interesting
@@renewed6250 No it wasn't, it was posted at least 30 minutes after. Conspiratorial boomers, I swear.

@@ClaimClam The Marine India Company XO is now online 20 minutes, face to face with the camera, after this Jocko podcast with two other marines in leadership positions and they are all backing up his original letter with nothing to gain.
I find it so ironic that the Navy Seal insignia (The "Trident") displays an eagle with a bowed head to show humility. To receive a trident is to enter into a contract of sorts. With the understanding that using your military experience to make a profit is not only despicable, but also runs a massiverisk to those still doing the job by revealing SOPs TTPs and general information pertaining to duty. Thes guys tarnish the reputation and should not be trusted.
Well said!
Someone didn't like your RFK podcast...
Bet most of the slander makes it to big media, and none of the response does
BINGO!
@@t-spark nah, false allegations of this caliber are absolutely heinous and wouldn’t deserve the light of day with the media, they should know better at least than to try and blast something such as this knowing full well the repercussions they may face when they find out they were being mislead. At most, they’d be able to inform the public that allegations were made. Jocko is big enough and has earned enough respect with the public as a well known patriot for anyone to go along with this bs. And people in the comments who are trying to make him respond is so disgusting, it’s crazy to me. If something like this had the slightest possibility of being true, it’d be an absolute firestorm against him and more people saying the same thing, with actual hardcore evidence and investigations, but you heard Jocko. He takes extreme ownership, hence, there’s nothing for him to own up to. Personally, I think a defamation lawsuit against whoever is pushing this would be in order. No one should be able whimsically make claims such as these against a man of his stature.
I'm voting RFK Jr. I'm an Airborne infantryman with a CIB.
@@hounddog3476 congratulations on that honor, sir. Men like you are my heroes and I mean that. may God bless you and your family. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our beautiful country. I know that term is thrown around quite a bit, but I truly mean that and will pray for you as well. May God bless the United States of America.
What was your command relationship with 3/8? Were you attached, direct support, general support. Those words have meaning and would also tell us if any Lieutenant on the ground with 3/8 would be able to redirect you. If you were in support, you would probably be in support of the battalion and the battalion would direct you and you would probably have communications with an adjacent infantry platoon, but more than likely that platoon wasn’t directing you.
1. Navy Seal Chief 2. Green Beret 3. Green Beret 4. Marine XO 5.? Jocko has a lot to answer to
I wasn't there so not sure what to believe. The question that I have is "Why would this information be put out on the web if Task Unit Bruiser was all operating like hero's". If this is all about Player Hating someone is putting their nuts on the line. It is tough when you create a business and leadership company based upon a narrative that is in question. I hope that everything Jocko states is correct but damn it this leaves me with questions.
good for you, questioning is perfectly fine. We weren’t there, so its silly for anyone in these comments to fully take one side or the other.
@@josholdham1033many people were there though, and the actions of Kyle were pretty well documented
@@ashackatak normally I would agree, but SEALs and “well documented” is kind of a non sequitur these days. The command has swept a lot under the rug to protect the brand
If this leaves anyone with questions then try to remember that Jocko is very conservative.. if any of that BS had a smidge of truth it is not only safe to say he would have been sentenced to Life in prison.. the media would still be running those stories.. I don’t believe any of those lies that is clear to what the intent is..all these horrific accusations of war crimes and loose cannons were committed by highly decorated EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL Seals whose accolades are known all over the world.. must be a coincidence..I do find these accusations are laughable at best..
I want to thank Jocko for being forthcoming and clear on every point. I had a feeling after watching the videos mentioned that this was the kind of response that Jocko would put out. The accusing SEAL seemed to harbor a grudge and came off as disrespectful, and didn't even do research enough to get the name of Jocko's book on the subject right. Thank you, Jocko, for being leading by example in this situation and others, and always honoring your fallen brothers in word and deed. In this video, you did right by those brothers, and addressed the concerns affecting a wider audience that has benefited so much from your teachings over the years. This was a class act, sir, and appreciated. 🏴☠️
Oh yeah. The accuser called it extreme leadership. Ha! Then he kept stuttering , fumbling his words. and looking side to side. Saying stuff like “why would I lie”. Ah professional envy?
Huh? The seal doesn't hold a grudge against Jocko personally. Listen to the guy. He exposes a lot of seal secrets because he feels that HIS COMMUNITY has dropped the ball and the brand has forgotten and integrity and honor. Listen to him.
@@vsupreme9386 dropping the he ball is different that murdering women and children. Who is Jocko. Dennis quad on running man. lol
Is one million iraqi civilians died
but he did get people killed.
The fact that you admit that you loan out weapons is evidence that you practice what you want to practice. no unit gives weapons to another without an extreme paper trail arrow documents, perhaps chain of custody putting it in someone’s green book Where is the proof brother?
Turns out that letter was real. Why don’t you have Eric Deming on your show?
“Operation damage control “
It's never a war crime the first time.
The easiest way to clear this up is for NCIS or FBI to investigate the whole deployment and let the chips land where they land, I saw they guys interview, and he sounded very credible. As a former SNCO (E9), if what the E8 said is true, the entire SEAL command should be worried along with yourself and others on TF Bruiser. I'm hoping it isn't true because I like what you're putting out.
I recall the FBI being in Iraq investigating Marines, due to accusations of alleged murder squads running around the city … after months of investigation the FBI found that people die in war, and that no one is able to just move around the battlefield as they wish … many of the accusations being made would have to have been investigated … NCIS would have gotten notice if formal complaints were made
"Easiest way," come on now NCO, you forget how the military bureaucracy works? They won't admit to anything that could make them look bad unless someone has the actual video and its gone viral. I remember I got tasked with a 15-6 investigation over our service members burning some Korans. Yep, they burned them, I even included burned pages in my report. At the weekly briefing I watched, in awe, as the Colonel flatly told the General that "after a through investigation, I can assure you that no Korans were burned." That was paper, war crimes? No way any brass would touch this with a 32' pole.
I don’t think I’d trust ncis or fbi after what I’ve seen/heard come from both over these past few years.
You should hope for the truth and nothing less. Leave the bias
Let’s keep it house, but let’s write books about everything… It would be nice to hear him just talk as opposed to reading it.
Invite them onto the podcast so its face to face. It can be your first colored episode. Quite symbolic actually.
"It couldn't happen", "it was not possible" -- isn't worth anything as defence. In fact, it is exactly what Ted Bundy said in his own defence. Just check it.
As a civilian who has never served in the military, I am so grateful to Jocko and the lessons he has shared from his experiences. My life has improved greatly since I discovered his podcast and books years ago. Thank you Jocko for showing us and helping to keep us on the path. Your service to this nation and all who have served is greatly appreciated. You all represent the best of what this Country has to offer and are an inspiration.
So now you have a Navy Seal Chief, 2 Green Berets and a Marine XO coming out speaking against Jocko.
It’s great that Jocko put this out. What an elegant and intelligent way to bust rumors.
Did you expect anything else? lol As if he’d come out and admit it all on his own podcast. 😂
He talked shit for hours and didn't say a thing.
He literally didn't cover any of the specific allegations that have recently been presented. Just went into one of his gruff voice fallen hero talks. Basically said don't question anything that happened to the task unit because brave men were lost. It has been well covered in the last 5 years, through books, interviews, and legal cases, how dark the SEAL teams and SF became during the GWOT. Jocko saying it isn't even possible for special forces to go off the rails is pretty crazy considering the amount of allegations and public cases that have involved the SEAL community and special forces.
@@burnheretic3950he isnt saying those things can’t happen. If they did happen, we would have an Eddie Gallagher all over again.
@@emmanuelvalles9601 your living in a dream world but whatever bud. All the best
If someone spread rumors about me , i just detacth and know in my mind that i have the moral high ground. This is why it is so important to never compromise on or let anyone else compromise your morals and ethics , even in war..
At this point the whole damn thing is impossible to make what’s true and what isn’t. The only constant in all this is there is definitely a problem with seals staying quiet to any extent
Jocko is covered in innocent blood. His own mouth got him into this mess he’s in. 2024 year of the truth
Personally I have no problem with seals talking about things that happened almost two decades ago, at that point it's history and we should be studying it and reflecting on it.
Jocko, remember in Musashi when Sasaki Kojiro put up all of those disparaging posters calling Musashi a coward around the town: the same exact thing is happening to you now, only with modern technology. Don’t give in, and know that we stand by you no matter what lies are fabricated to attack your character.
One of the difference is Jacko has to speak for the fallen who cannot speak for themselves
They're not calling his a coward but a liar
@@elpanchosancho2A liar cowers from truth and reality, does he not?
@J-gr4zn it's an allusion to some of his earlier podcasts about Masashi lol
@J-gr4zn It references a book. Miyamoto Musashi wrote The Book of Five Rings. Read it.
There’s been a lot of rumors going around regarding many influential figures such as Jocko. Much respect to him for essentially being the only one to address them.
He is part of a narrative dude
Glad you addressed this directly. I’m excited to listen to it
If the guy is lying sue him? Its that simple. This defamed you if its not true. Sue him and lets do a gathering of the actual facts. Thats what most public figures do when they are slandered
He can’t because the allegations are true
that would be very hard to do considering some of these ops are still classified. They would have to attempt to declassify them in order to file a lawsuit in civilian courts because right now its just "he said, she said".
@user-mr2do5vr1v that's not true at all. If you accuse someone of murdering people unjustly that Trumps any and all nonsense you are talking about. Even if they had to do a secret type of hearing to deal with it it needs to be dealt with one way or another.
@@OG-GHOST2 that is absolutely true what I said. Id love to see your sources

As you can imagine, those videos hit my algorithm. Never clicked them, never questioned your integrity after hearing you speak for days worth hours. Carry on 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
Because you invested yourself soo much in a flesh and bone individual that now if you back track you will look like a chump. So you keep your head down and keep sipping the cool aid
Good call on not clicking on the videos. The reason that these types make these inflammatory videos is that they know that people will watch them and engage. When engagement goes up, KZhead directs more people to the video and they make more money.
Never be so dug in that you’re not open to new information, even Jocko would agree to that.
@@elpanchosancho2I watched the video and all I saw were clickbaiting angry has beens wanting to get their fame.
@@Nonamethankyou128solid point, and I recalibrate perspective often. Recent history/events demand honing my discernment, and filter input. Get good at it now, or be devoured by AI nonsense. Also, I will not feed a clickbait video, nor will I pollute my KZhead algorithm with the hate economy videos - there is an economy of hate watchers, especially around comedy podcasts, and it takes discipline to rid yourself of their junk-food-opinions.
Here's how the grift works: 1.) Find and target high profile individuals. 2.) Make a KZhead video with wild accusations about that individual. Bonus points if you use clickbaity words in the title like "THE TRUTH", "the REAL story" or "EXPOSED". 3.) Deploy a few minions or use a burner account to go to other channels and direct people to your video. 4.) On your video, people will watch out of curiosity, click "like" or "dislike" and comment, which drives up engagement. 5.) Sit back and watch the money roll in from the clicks and ad revenue. 6.) Repeat steps 1-5 with a different target. I'm quite familiar with this process because I've been on the receiving end of it. If you see one of these videos pop up, don't click, don't watch and don't engage. These people are trying to prey off of the success of others and are running a deeply cynical scam. Appreciate the work that you do, Jocko.
>Chris Kyle lied about his military awards. When Jocko was questioned about it Jocko stated that Kyle deserved more recognition than he got.

We stand by you and Task Unit Bruiser! As a fellow Ramadi Vet here, and no one has the right to spew that shame. Love you all. ✝️👊🇺🇲🙏 #RamadiBros #RamadiBrosForLife ##AlAnbarCollegeOfCounterTerrorismRamadiCampus0304
Ok captain hardass.
@@northsky5629He earned that, now take a seat you muppet
You know its serious when Jocko starts quoting Shakespeare.
My pops was in nam the whole time. He told me on 4th of July, that he loved it. He was a warrior. He always took the high road. But he was deadly serious. To think that he had stones thrown at him for his actions. At the end of the day he would have done anything to bring home Americans.
Been looking forward to hearing your side. Thanks for posting a clear and concise response.
The two guys from the last video's comment section are now mysteriously quiet....
Because they knew they were wrong from the beginning
@@thomassells2356 Makes you wonder if they are disappointed that Jocko did not maliciously harm others. Make you wonder who are the monsters.
I got flack from some guys for simply saying that I wish Jocko would address the shit people were saying bc I respected him and wanted to hear his side of it before I had an opinion about it. They said I was riding his dick and everyone knows jockos a murdered and all this other dumb shit so I’ve been looking for them on here and.. crickets…
Hahaha YEPPP
I imagine they're quiet because it's only been 3 days. Jocko was quieter for longer before responding.
From a combat veteran that served at Firebase Gecko , Qandahar, Afghanistan .I'm sorry you had to explain this. However I'm glad you did. I got your six.
Aaaaaa! I was always listening to this podcast on Spotify, and trust me I didn't imagine Echo Charles like this😮
I really wonder if some of these allegations are starting because Jocko has started to get more vocal on political issues. As soon as good men get involved in politics you can be sure accusations and smears will come.
It would make sense.
Matthew Cole's book came out years ago. This isn't new. It's just people who don't read books are now seeing videos about it.
@@snowbear163I think you missed the point man, the videos weren’t out and just now happen to be surfacing. The book may have been written a while ago but the videos are new, they’re getting out because of a recent effort to stain Jockos good name. That’s the whole point of Jockos response, and this particular comment.
@@Lakota238 the allegations have been there for a long time. Matthew Cole has emails that Jocko wrote to people in his unit. They're in the book. The stuff about contracts and pay to play is new. But the stuff about his guys taking shots at anything that moves is documented.
shaiksy jakesy
I can say that Jock changed my life for the better. Anyone else out there who shares that sentiment?
Extreme ownership of bullshit and lies? Like the infamous pathological liar Kyle vs. Ventura.
Kyle is not a saint. But so is Ventura. A full on closet Liberal who talks shit all the time about the military and also supports Colin Kaepernick.
Has Jocko ever reviewed the code over country book?
Jocko. You need to lawyer up. In time this will be officially investigated....your words will be used accordingly.
Jocko thank you for breaking this down very clearly so I can better understand the situation. It hurt to hear someone slandering you and members of your community because I have so much respect for all of you. I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to dig into this and all I can say is thank you for helping clear the air at least about your side of things. Thank you sir
After hours and hours of listening, We know who you are sir. We hear the emotion in your voice. We are forever thankful for the hard earned lessons you teach us. Thank you Jocko.
You only know what’s being put out by someone. Unless you know him personally we know as much as is put out.
Hes not sleeping with you bro 😂
You have no F’ing clue who this guy is. What a ridiculous thing to say.
@drp1bb856 Even if you know someone personally...isn't that still all you know? What they put outwards? Denis Rader comes to mind. Richard Kuklinski. Etc.
@@renewed6250 Too true.
Well said and answered with the DIRECT approach.
Only after a week of being bombarded 🤣 and he even had to make a third video. Bro seals pocket book took a hit no doubt or was fixin to
@@noneofyourbiz6885or he doesn't live online or in the comment section like we do.
All I can say is ROGER THAT! Thanks jocko for your service. Truth and facts always win.
Glad to hear your side of the story. Information from anonymous sources usually carries little value. If a person tarnishes someone else's name, their name should be on the line as well. Plus, tearing people down usually isn't done with good intentions. God bless.
I want him to invite the fella on for a man to man.
Thanks Jocko, you're a force for good in the World. I used to hate my job, working in a Slate Quarry in North Wales, now I can't wait to get to work so I can listen to the Podcast, Thank you for making my life better, you're awesome 👍
What does Eric Deming and the Marines on Green Beret Chronicles have to gain from calling out a "Brand" Seal with thousands of fan boys?
This is a man who knows how to hold back, and only speak the truth to his enemies.
I was no where near Ramadi. But those men who fought bleed and died over there are heros. I was on a ship but when we did see the T/U we held the most respect for them.
Meh, I still dont believe Jocko. Sorry but I just don’t.
Jocko wanted to beat this guys ass so bad he went and wrote a 10 pg. paper about it 😂😂
He * did * major in English, after all... 🤣
So physical assault is ok?
@@LEODochartaigh Is life ruination and lying okay?
@@man11withaplan What lie was told?
@@LEODochartaigh No one physically assaulted anyone.
that was about same time we had major attacks in Fallujah. pretty sure it was just a large scale effort, not some localized revenge attack.
Thanks for putting out the fact, stats and information on this, it's a shame there are people out there trying to tear down the team. Thank you
Glad jock addressed this, thanks for the wisdom you pass down to us civi’s.
Jocko, with all due respect when I served with the Marines in 06, the buzz around was that your unit was reckless. Everybody knew it. The higher ups knew it. So saying that you were in charge, and there was no criminal investigation doesn’t mean that your unit didn’t kill civilians it was an open secret within the unit.
Cowboy that made everyone less safe. Especially Marines.
That may have been the buzz, but how was that substantiated?
@@MyNameIsJ3ffrey Well, it looks like some folks have come out and put their own reputation on the line to substantiate it. Now that both sides are out, I'm sure others will chime in.
@@MyNameIsJ3ffreytalk like that doesn't just come from nowhere. There are things you can't just speak up about in the military.
Same
The reckless behaviour or war crimes during an operation are likely used later as blackmail to keep people quiet ?
Solid response!
I especially felt the part where you said” if you want to dig up dirt on me, go read my books…I’ve made mistakes…they’re in there”. You put them in there because you aren’t hiding from them. And that’s because a real man doesn’t doesn’t have to hide his mistakes. He acknowledges them and learns from them. Love your podcasts brother. Keep on keeping on.👍
He didn't just make mistakes. He wasn't a good leader. Jocko was 0-4 Lieutenant Commander for 5-6 years. Jocko's superior's didn't think highly of his ability to lead men in combat because they never gave him a combat command after he returned from Ramadi and he wasn't promoted. So here's this guy claiming to be a "leadership expert" who couldn't reach 0-5 in a special operations unit. That's called extreme incompetence, not extreme ownership .
@@LongFatJohnston Your jealously is showing there ShortSkinnyJohnson
Long fat johnson is your handle. This tells us everything we need to know about you. Probly short in both ways and jealous of others success. What a tool.
All I need to know is what Eric Deming stands to gain from this besides intense heat and scrutiny. It dosnt make sense to me why someone would bring something like this down on themselves for a lie. Eric has no KZhead channel or any other way to make money off of talking about things he did in the military. I served 6 years in the military with multiple Iraq tours and I damn sure didn’t do it so I could talk about it on the internet and make money.
Eric deming is clearly telling the truth .....what has he got to gain? NOTHING! He's setting the record straight on these corrupt SEALS like this wink character who by the sounds of completely reinvented himself because of his poor leadership skills......
You're wasting your time here, you're talking to religious fanatics who worship at this guy's altar. You could show video and they wouldn't believe it.
@sj6404 isn't there drone video out now anyways.
@@sj6404I’m definitely starting to realize that lol
The US military, ESPECIALLY the SEAL community have built a long reputation of lies and spin to cover up their incompetence. From Red Wings to the Chris Kyle BS, they have earned scrutiny. This is why you dont idolize your heros. Very few people are what they appear to be.
After watching 434 I assumed the "indirect approach" would be all he'd have to say on the subject (which was outstanding by the way), but. . .nope! He went hard, got specific refuting the absurd claims made, and dealt with it head on with overwhelming force. Well done.
Crabs in a bucket Jocko, they always want to pull the ones that are on the rim back down and keep them in the bucket or climb over them to get out.
According to the 3/8 marines website. The 3rd battalion, 8th Marine regiment lost 17 kia during their 6 months in Ramadi. Not the 36 Marines lost that was being claimed by a Marine XO.
was that the only marine element in the task force? i have no idea im just curious
3/8 did 4 deployments over the course of the GWOT, 2 OIF 2 OEF. They lost 37 Marines TOTAL during the GWOT, 17 in Ramadi during ‘06. There were other Marine Grunt Bns there overlapping this period for sure as Ramadi was a long fight, but this is 3/8 specific. The Bn Cmdr of 3/8 at the time just retired a few months ago as a 2 Star General.
that right there seems like a glaring fucking hole straight through Eric's story.... getting the KIA not just wrong but wrong by more than double is a huge discrepancy
@@payback_carteryou’re absolutely wrong. 3/8 deployed quite more than 4 times during GWOT. However 3/8 served in OEF a total 4 times not 2. On the 26th MEU in December 2001. November 2008 - May 2009. On the 26th MEU again from January 2011- May 2011 ( I served on this deployment). April 2012 - November 2012. Research your history please.
@@Lifechanging99999 Relax kid. I’m well aware that 3/8 pumped out a lot over the course of 20 years. I’m not saying that the MEU deployments don’t count or anything like that. I’m also aware that over the course of a MEU deployment, elements did go ashore and conduct limited scope operations in support of a named operation, and I’m not talking about those either. For the purpose of this conversation, we are talking specifically about combat operations where Marines from 3/8 were (or weren’t) killed in action. So, I see how you could become confused when I said “During the GWOT” and take that to mean something else. The overall thread here is discussing how many Marines 3/8 lost during their 2006 deployment and I know for a fact, that 36 figure is incorrect. Which is the thrust of what I’m wanting to see corrected. We need to stop grifters from passing blatant falsehoods that every time a Grunt Bn went Downrange we lost over a platoon of dudes KIA as a regular occurrence. I’m only aware of maybe one time a Bn took 30+ KIA and it wasn’t a Lejeune Bn. Just sayin’
Awesome to hear this response, the accusations were atrocious and i still can't understand why someone would make this up. Love the podcast! Keep up the good work!
Sometimes you can't just ignore it... You have to confront false accusations and scurilous attacks head on, and deal with it directly and categorically. This is leadership. You have my gratitude for your service and sacrifices made on behalf of our country. Much success to you. God bless
I'm not military. I'm not even American. British through and through. I've watched all these related podcasts for years. Instantly I knew this was nonsense. 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸. Love to all those on the front lines.
kzhead.info/sun/aKVslqenhIanoJs/bejne.htmlsi=pzfYCjgOCMI41Dy9 The problem is there is a different story from other military that did the job you're talking about. They didn't write books and aren't as famous but they have a very different story. It's not a new one. I was a boot drop to Graham in the above interview. I remember a lot of my senior Marines angry at this situation. Worth a look
1) I was never in the military 2) My Father served in the Navy during WWII (LST-654) 3) Two of my brothers served (Army & AF) 4) Two of my Sons were/in the AF. One who had multiple deployments in Afghanistan & Iraq. 5) I had numerous acquaintances/friends who served in Vietnam, the Gulf War & the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq. 6) Thank you Jocko & to all the Men & Women who served with honor. You all are held in high esteem.
@@natel7382 Let's just say Life made some decisions for me that made it unwise to join.
@@danasmith3288 You're a goof if you join the military.
so the dominoes begin to fall...
Always stand by you Jocko, proof is in the pudding as they say, pretty easy to tell you are made of the right stuff.
I have a brother that was on green team- has nothing but good to say about Jocko and the time they served together
They went in on Robert’s ridge, Marcus and Chris, and Rob O niel
Outside of Devgru the regular Seals are a loose wreckless group I've heard according to many in SF, less professional. This happened to Australian SAS too. The most professional according to US Army Heli pilots are Delta and British SAS
The marine who wrote the letter is on a new GB chronicles podcast. You jocko are here to defend yourself so do so. Go on the podcast with jay,eric and the marine. Or refund everyone who paid for your book extreme ownership
Naaa you are wrong. He should make the 2nd version of the book with amended title: "Extreme ownership of bullshit".
@marcingrabkowski1054 I'm not wrong. Where am I wrong? Have you watched the podcast with the marine? Nothing would clear this up more than all the people involved sitting down and talking.
I know you wouldn't talk to him like that face-to-face. You sound like a liberal
@@StonagePwnage want to bet?
@@SixStringsAndBeyond You are 100% correct. I agree with you. What I wrote was a sarcasm to the title of the book.
Showed more restraint than I ever could. Good man
What would you have done?
So there's another Marine named Daniel Blackwell who posted a video titled "My recollection of events in Ramadi in 2006" and people here need to watch that before coming to any conclusions. This Marine basically questions the legitimacy of what the Marine XO is saying, and he also verifies that everything Jocko says in this episode is spot-on.
men with true leadership quality will own to their mistakes.
Thank you Jocko. Glad you responded in this way. Class all the way. God Bless Task Unit Bruiser 🇺🇸
I was a new HM in Afghanistan (My first deployment, 1st of 3 tours there) during this time in Ramadi. I was hyped and excited for my first tour but I will never forget after we landed there was a ramp ceremony immediately after. I could see the toll it had on those soldiers faces. In that moment I knew this was for real. I quickly realized this was not a game. ISAF/RC South had very specific ROEs. They were the same in 06’ & 08’ and didn’t change until Summer of 09’ (McChrystal) but I want to say that the Frogmen/EOD dudes had slightly different ROEs but it was not that vast. One thing I have come to think about GWOT is I’m glad for everyone that made it back home and as for the bad guys > Fk’em Same. I am about to hit my 20 and I’m happy to move on. It’s time to hang out with the wife and play sports with our boys. 🤙🏽
Thank you for standing tall for us. BZ
I'm impressed, thank you
It would be fairly easy to figure out who the India Company (3/8) XO was during that time...
This is why I love Jocko!
Thank you Jocko for all the good you're doing.
