That old General Smedley Butler quote is all I could think the entire time I was listening to this
"I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
12 minute ad reads only ensure everyone skips over the ads. May want to cut those down or spread out the reads Joe.
Pretty good podcast, I didn't agree with everything Jocko said but hearing him explain his reasoning was still very interesting.
One thing that is starting to get old is this stawman SJW Joe forces into conversations; it seems to be on every podcast of his now. Since he brings it up all the time he is probably sent the craziest "SJW" articles which leads to him bringing it up more, so its understandable.
This was amazing.
Definitely better than the girl that shits into tupperware containers.
Tim feriss is a more boring and polite joe rogan
I appreciate this guy's knowledge and experience, he definitely has seen some shit first-hand. But this was a very weird podcast to listen to and it proved how much of a chameleon Joe is from episode to episode.
At one point (<1hour in), Jocko talks about how he gets annoyed when people say the middle east conflict is complex, "because it's not ..bla bla...just a few military tactics." Then maybe 20 minutes later, Joe asks what Jocko would do and he says, "well it's very complex..."
Then the guy starts talking about how being in the military is just a continuation of his childhood, that he plays with weapons and bombs and unlimited ammo like he used to do with toys as a kid. Jocko completely gets off on this shit. I'm sorry, but this is the type of attitude that Joe usually lambasts on his other podcasts. Does anyone feel conflicted like this? It kinda pulled back the curtain for me, in regards to how Joe changes to fit his guest. And not in a good way.
I get the feeling Jocko would be the most die hard patriot of whichever nation he was born into. To him it's all about finding the reason to fight.
-The people there need our help to kill people
-The people there are horrible and need to be killed
-The people in his country (in this case, America) don't appreciate how badly the people overseas need him to be there killing people
I appreciate the insights into Seal training but I can't respect a guy who still thinks the USA and coalition should have gone into Iraq. At least the previous ex-military guests seemed to have considered the possibility that they were the bad guys.
Bunch of slack jawed faggots around here.
