Excerpt from JOCKOPODCAST 13

Having worked with both MARSOC and green berets, I’ve never been more impressed by a group of professionals who are kind, polite, and yet very driven than the marine raiders(MARSOC). The dudes are humble beyond belief and don’t believe anyone owes them anything. They always help the lowest level too, not just people they see as equals. Just personal experience though.

[Madmartigan]

Jocko - thank you for your supportive words for the USMC in general and MARSOC specifically ....from the proud father of an active duty MARSOC Marine.

Appreciate the shout out to Army Airborne. Former 11B airborne infantry here, 2/505 in the Deuce and 3/509 in Alaska. Was WIA in Iraq and medically retired. Miss it everyday, especially the brotherhood.

[InformalGreeting]

The only thing wrong with MARSOC is that it didn’t exist until after I was out of the Marines.

[donxiong]

It’s very true what he said about Marines and discipline.That level of discipline helped save our lives in Fallujah in 04”.We were the first Marines in history to ever be an occupying force on Camp Fallujah.


From the Cook, Pen pusher, Driver, Mechanic, to the MARSOC guys we’re all ready to get down and are expected to keep a level of discipline and physical fitness

My dad served as a marine in 1989-1993 in the gulf war and died in 1994 from leukemia at age 23 his name was William Brice McKinney Sr and a true hero to his family and his country

[FNGACADEMY]

Love to jump on with you guys, prior 10th Special Forces, book dropping March 2021 regarding trauma

[markcorwin]

Great stuff. I was one of the Force Recon guys that did deployments with Jocko when he was a younger SEAL. Stand up guy for sure.

[douglasgw]

The fact that the marine corps operates so well on such a small budget is a testament to their professionalism and capability

[sgt.grinch]

As a Marine cult member. Thanks for telling the truth about us. Marines are accustom to poor living quarters, harsh conditions and low pay. We hold it in until it is time to release our frustrations on our enemies. PBUG

[anonimus]

“The bottom line Marine Corps is awesome”

[Jarhead]

As a retired former Marine who was involved in the mid 80s MEUSOC adventures, I really appreciate Jocko's well informed, objective, and strategic response to this question. If we understand all services' and Special Operations forces capabilities we can employ them effectively to best support our nation's military objectives! Jocko gets that and that's why he is awesome and should be followed!!! Semper Fi everyone and happy 2021!

[lateralus]

I think Jocko’s forearms have their own zip code. I hope they voted in the election.

[johniverson]

As a Former Recon Marine...I thank you Jocko.

[thomasgarner]

When Jocko was born. The nurse stated "It's a man"

[Fullyfrank]

When Jocko was in high school the teachers would have to put up their hand up to ask him a question

[zAwstrich]

They don’t always take the best guy they take the right guy

[piterantonio]

Hearing Jocko talk about Our Corps with such Love & Respect makes my non shooting eye tear up♥️

[flyoverkid]

Former Navy [ HM3 ]. Served with Marines at MCRD Parris Island. The recruits they shape into Marines aren't special, but they come out of basic training at a level of motivation, dedication, and intensity that other services cannot match. If I had to go to war, it was going to be with Marines, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

[reinholdw]

As a former Marine, thank you for the gracious words. Great channel. Enjoy hearing your stories. Semper Fi.
