Marine Dakota Meyer Details What War is Really Like | Joe Rogan

Man...and it's not just Chicago. The lack of respect of life in this COUNTRY...

I’ve lived in Chicago it’s not as black and white as you just tried to paint it

Drone bombing Yemeni weddings is still way worse though.

This is what happens when its cooler to be a gangster than it is to graduate high school and become someone with a future.

O block

yeah that was powerful

That is soul penetrating deep for real

That was so real

I don't get it

@@rarebreed345 one minute no one is killing each other. Both sides are killing each other. Also both sides were helping the wounded. No air support no artillery. Do you get that, different cultures at a different place at the same time

I remember having similar feelings when I got home from Iraq in 05 A few years after the fact I remember looking back at quite literally fighting for my life against people I never knew and they didn’t know me and there we were trying to kill each other for what?

Edit- typo.

He either took that line from Rob O'Neill (SEAL Team 6 Operator) or vice versa. They are good friends, and even wrote a book together.

Guy tells his war story that changed his entire perspective on life Joe “so I saw this video of a monkey riding a bike that tried to kidnap a child”

Thank you. I didn't know.

Didn’t he marry Sarah plains daughter or some shit like that too?

Ohhh shit me too bro..... The “Medal of Honor: Frontline” for my 9th birthday. Shiyt was lit asf.

@Duner250R he deserves another medal if she's anything like the ma.. Crazy

Especially true in today's times

That is one powerful statement!!

@Brooksey You're an ignorant asshole. Don't stereotype Americans like we're all self-absorbed and ignorant. There are a lot of good people here and we citizens are dealing with a lot of shit right now just like every other country! If you don't have anything nice to say then just keep your big mouth shut.

SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's Real REAL Love to all y'all White,Black,Yellow,Red,Purple & Blue

For killing people ? And letting his teammates die ? Okay lmao😂

I noticed this, too. 😥

That is a look of a reality check. He thought it was a game until he got his eyes open. He even said that he usually start the fights. Because he knows he has backup to save that ass. But when he didn't have that back up, the light bulb came on. Like oh I'm fucked!!!🤯🤯🤯

Exactly .

It has to be hard and will be hard throughout his life. Can’t thank him enough for his service. We should provide housing, healthcare, food and more for these people after they return. It’s a joke that we as a nation with all our wealth not take care of our troops.

Sometimes the images just pop into your head, especially while sleeping for me. Though it's been years since I was in a battle the old PTSD demon lives there in your memories just waiting to pop up & then boom, you're right back where the bullets are flying through the air & you can almost feel them zipping past your face. The crack of the AK-47s are seemingly contacting your ear drums & you can even feel the heat of the shrapnel whizzing near you. It's absolutely eerie & I'll wake up on the floor, soaked through & through, with bruises on my face from landing on the floor. It's become so regular that I can't even sleep with my wife, we sleep on opposite ends of one of our couches, so I don't punch or kick her as I fight in my sleep. I've taken just about every med my Dr. has ordered me on to try & stop the nightmares. Nothing seems to work completely. As bad as that might sound, I'll take it compared to my brothers who never came home alive. Those are the real heroes of any war, the ones that didn't come through it. They're the ones I think about & miss the most, my best friend being the main one. It's also why I'm still here & not one of the 22 a day that end their PTSD battles permanently. I figure I'm still here to live the life they can't. It's why I drive my dream car, still ride motorcycles & shoot at my own range on our farm. Just to do the things my brothers aren't able to do, to try to live some of the life they can't. They were great guys and I miss them all, every day that I'm still here and I'll go on missing them until the day that my number is up. I have the utmost respect for all of the men and women who have come after me in whichever branch of the military they're serving in. It takes a fair amount of guts to sign up to serve, because once you sign on the dotted line and take that pledge, Uncle Sam has your a$$ and can do whatever the eff he wants to with your a$$ too. So, for any of you kids out there thinking about it, make sure you're willing and able to make that commitment, because it's not a joke or something you can just get out of because you don't like the way things are going in bootcamp. I will give you one piece of advice and it's this, the USAF apparently still has the best chow going, LOL! If you like to eat and have really good ASVAB scores, the USAF might be your best bet. Good luck & stay low & shoot straight.

That will never disappear. That's why I can't stand the palins the way his ex wife treated him. Dakota his whole team died while she's home in her mansion.

There is no such thing as former sir

YOU are wrong dude. I am not a sir, I worked for my money in the Corps. What you are referring to is that "there is no such thing as an ex-Marine." the proper way to say it is exactly like I said it. I am a FORMER Marine. Once a Marine always a Marine. I can sure tell you did not serve! @@hoodieso8858

Sorry about the retarded democrats cutting your guys funding a veteran financial/health support services

Bro you were peeling potatoes the whole time

War is foggy, man. It messes people up on so many different levels. My father and uncles served so that I wouldn't have to. I always wanted to, but they talked me out of it. To the point to where they were begging me with tears in their eyes and made me promise not to enlist. That's my biggest regret in life. So I have so much admiration and respect and empathy for those that do. And most of them come out never being the same.

I thought the exact same thing. Joe cut off his own thoughts and stopped talking as soon as this young Marine looked like he wanted to say something. Very good job. Most podcasters just love hearing their own voice. Joe is just different.

We shouldn't have , let them deal with the consequences of their shenanigans.

Similar comments were said in the documentary "Currahee" about EZ Co, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne. I think "Shifty" explains it if I'm not mistaken. Profound concepts of combat service members.

@@franksmith4863 he's a product of where he was born...he's a white, male American who seems to have many generations of family in this country.

@Keith Andreis, thank you for speaking up. Absolutely, Dakota is a decent guy and was only saying what was on his mind. Anyone who wants to contradict his thoughts needs to go in the field and fight against enemies to have a voice like Dakota's. One other niggling thing from me, I'm not white, I'm Native and this has been our country longer than it's been a European country. We Natives fight in the US military at a higher rate than any other ethnic group. Why? More than any others, this is our land and we'll fight for it every time, regardless of what administration is in power. Heck, even Dakota's name suggests our influence over this land, don't you think? I think Dakota Meyer is a heroic young man and I'm proud of his service to the US, as well as proud of his intelligence and heart while doing it.

will godsend!!!

Thank you brotein

Thx mate

Jamie is slippin

Thanks man :)

That’s super cool. Also thank you for your service 🫡

Hike? Like a…hike? Are you admin or something? A hike is something you do on leave on a trail.

What did u ask him

@@boondocksaint621 You know what he meant. What else would he call it? A march?

No need for enlisting in government military. Just a plane ticket to Ukraine is all u need now.

How about him starting by not joining the army killing bunches of civilians like the US does. After 10 years of drone-bombing weddings and starting fake wars. This soldier has the guts to tell anyone about getting along..... This so typifies the stupidity of post WW2 USA. Utterly clueless and self-absorbed.

@Keksi your acting like he's the one invading other countries. Get the fuck outta here.

@Keksi The US has been constantly involved in waging war since the end of WWII for its "Own Desires" including the Korean and Vietnam Wars that were led by Democratic administrations, making both political parties accountable for what is going on. One of the biggest mistakes this country made was the covert war in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union. Instead of helping this war torn country that needed our help, we abandoned it and left it in ruins, which helped contribute to the mess we see in that area of the world today. We should have been there to support Afghanistan much like we did in Europe and Japan after WWII, but that's another story. Almost all wars suck and should be unnecessary but the Human animal is too selfish and self absorbed with itself.

@Francisco Nieves ignorant about what? That was a god damn year ago. You weren't even here for the context of the now deleted comment.

Damn. Man, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you have to live with that

Yes, thank you for sharing your story. The weight of taking a life must be so heavy. It’s unbelievable how little this country does for the soldiers that fought for our freedom. Praying for you and the rest that are still here, dealing with that pain. 🙏🏾

Never killed anybody over there and glad I didn't. But I seen a lot of people hurt including innocent kids, and seen the aftermath of a suicide bomber back in 08 in Iraq...and those situations have absolutely stayed with me all these years.

@@invectrum I was just a 17 year old kid when I enlisted in the Army. I graduated from High School at just 16 and started college the next fall and it was as socially awkward as can be imagined being only 16 and a college freshman. So my grandparents agreed to let me enlist that October when I turned 17 if I promised to return to college when I was done with the Army. I was only 18 the first time I was deployed to combat. Again I was deployed at 19 and then again at 21. It was entirely too much for anyone, especially a kid. I was 26 when I finally had the guts to face the real world and leave the Army. It's almost like a prison inmate who becomes institutionalized and can't adjust to life outside the structure of the prison walls after years of incarceration. I'm 52 now and still have trouble with the real world and the nonsense that goes on. People whining and complaining about their neighbors or that their hamburger wasn't grilled long enough. I understand that these things are something to people who haven't seen the horror of war and have had to go through life living with it like it is still happening every wake up. So there's that beating on Combat Veterans constantly as well. There's little that's more annoying than a Karen complaining about how her neighbors car is too noisy when you are doing all you can just to keep your head straight and live as peaceful a life as possible for however much life you have left. That's one of the biggest reasons Combat Veterans stick to themselves and have trouble adjusting to the world after War. But it was a Honor to Serve with the Soldiers I served with and I wouldn't change a day of my service if I could. Thank You for your kind words

@@onesocialengineer I appreciate your support for Veterans. It's unfortunate that Veterans are only a concern for politicians on Veterans day or when they need some air time before a election. It's disgusting how politicians and the Department of Veterans Affairs treats Veterans in reality. They say one thing and do another every time. They increased the V.A. budget a few billion dollars under Obama and the V.A. Secretary increased the pay for himself and the rest of the V.A. employees significantly and spent not a dime of it on Veterans. CNAs at the V.A. make 4 times what a CNA makes anywhere else. I understand the need to pay employees a living wage but I think tax payers we're supporting the increased money to improve the lives of the People the V.A. serves or is supposed to serve rather than pay V.A. administration staff more per year than the President recieves. Believe it or not they were even caught dumping the remains of veterans killed in combat in a landfill a few years ago. I apologize for the rant . I'm a volunteer veterans representative and have to go to war for us 5 days per week. Dealing with politicians and Vets administration staff is like trying to get a 2 year old to understand quantum physics. But Thank You for your kind words and understanding of the problems we deal with. It's good when good people listen.

@Liberty or Death invaded, intervention, regime change, delivering freedom.... whatever you want to call it, it doesnt change the fact that the U.S and it's people (yes you) want to get involved cos theres a dime to be made at the expense of blood of natives, slaves and your so called "soliders". The rest of the world see you as the big bad bully terrorists, if you think otherwise... your delusional.

@Liberty or Death "Fuck shit up" - American Freedom for sale everyone come get yours! .... either way it doesnt matter all this back and forth, like all empires the U.S is regressing as expected, like a wild dying thrashing animal, "fucking shit up" as it's people desperately try to prove it's still the "greatest" all the while everyone else is laughing not only at your ridiculous president but mostly at your people and what a sham your country has become, it must be sad to know your part of it. Well the only way from here on is down i guess....😉

@Liberty or Death great history lesson, here's some for you; you had your ass handed to you in Vietnam, Invaded Afghanistan and still struggling to sort that mess out, and of course you created ISIS in Iraq by invading then too... 20 years of war and "fucking shit up" with the greatest military but nothing to show... if you think for a second you and your country have an ounce of moral grounding and your "intervention" is welcome then you havent been paying attention or you've got your red white and blue so far up your ass you cant see the truth... either way your not changing my mind Billy. mind how you go.🤚

@@danieldanielson2650 agreed - sounds like he’s in the exact right mindset for someone having gone thru his experiences. Disclaimer: I’m an idiot.

Look for a name "Victor Gregg".... "I couldn't laugh at anything for 40 years. It turned me into a psychopath".

@@danieldanielson2650 PTSD can manifest differently for different people. You are correct that a lot of people act as you described, but not all. To the original commenter's point and yours, it sounds like this hero is in the healing process from his trauma. A big thing for PTSD/CPTSD is how challenging it is to ask for help and open up. So to me it seems like he has spent a lot of time thinking and coming to terms with his experiences. He's using it to grow as far as I can tell.

@@MySqueezingArm you're right. At the same time, integration of these stressful/traumatic experiences is exactly what healing means in patients with PTSD. At least that's what I was told in university.

A marine is a soldier!! A soldier is not necessarily a marine.... This man called himself a soldier. I think, because he has said, "2 soldiers from opposite sides sharing the end moment.

He was talking sense until he said how US should be going into other countries to regime change, about how people look to the US to come to their aid. That’s some class A bullshit that their commanders tell them to get them motivated. Absolutely no one wants a foreign army on their land, especially a one as powerful as the US. Only the Western elites, military industrial complex and corrupt politicians want war. I’m not Russian or Muslim, but the US is the worst country on the planet. They have destabilized a huge part of the world with their foreign policy, and the people who vote for them(citizens) are fully responsible even if they are blind to see it.

Well said. I did two tours in Iraq, one in Afghanistan, one in Bosnia , and one in Kuwait during the gulf war as a combat medic and when I would come home and be around friends and family, they would always ask “so how was it”. It’s very hard to put into words and explain unless you have lived it.

@combatmedic4087 the only way I could describe it, without getting emotional is: imagine going through your day, doing your normal routine and then something to your left blows up without warning and everything gets hectic for a minute, then stops for no reason.

Out of all the stories we hear like this, men being essentially traumatized for life for what they went through, it's amazing to me that we still have young men volunteering for this job.

If you are gay you are thrown from a building, women's rights are zero, corruption is synonym with government. When american soldiers go to war in a country like that -(example Siria, Iraq, Afganistan) they don't fight against the official state army, but help them. They fight with religious groups -(Talibans or Isis) who want to take control of that country and turn it in Sharia's land. Nobody likes killing Mr. Marshall, but in this situation is or war / or staying aside and let millions of people get terrorised by well armed paramilitary religious psychopaths.
