Navy SEALs or Green Berets?
JOCKO and TIM:

[KoolPandaz]

SEALS are given a target to capture, kill, or destroy, and they're damn good at doing it. Green Berets are given a few camels, maps, and bags of money, and told to topple a government. When I was a teenager, one of my scout leaders was a former Green Beret. He was maybe 5' 5" tall and well into his 60s. The guy hiked out from the bottom of the Grand Canyon in the middle of the night without a flashlight during a thunderstorm by himself. We had hiked down that same day. A bunch of teenage athletes were exhausted and shivering and he treated the whole experience like a walk in the park.

As a Marine, hearing you two talk about our boys over on ground side in that way was truly heart warming. So much respect for the both of you. Thank you for all you have done for this country. We need more men like the two of you.

[DeadCelt]

As a Marine for 6 years, the respect these elite guys have for the Marine Corps is humbling.

[justgeo]

Listening to these two talk about the Marines gives me a great motivational reminder of why I joined the Corps

[melissarose]

My Dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam. He did three combat tours. He was always proud of what he did, and what he accomplished. He taught me to love our military like family. We are different branches of the same family tree, he would say.
My Dad passed away last September 2019, buried with full military honors. Listening to you, Jocko, has helped me. You remind me of him, strong, patient, honorable. I listened when he spoke his wisdom. Am proud to listen to yours. Thank you. A still grieving Army brat.

I was only ever able to work with SEALs and MARSOC but the way you guys spoke about us regular Marine infantrymen really means alot. Much love, guys.

[thegoosedrankwine]

My dad was a Green Beret and a Vietnam Vet. And he was my best friend and hero! May he rest in peace. ❤

As a Marine, I get choked up when I hear guys like this talk about the respect they have for a Marine rifle company. I try to live my life outside the Corps with the values that kind of talk deserves. Thank you

[bls]

I did 8 years in the Marine Corps and yes it felt good these gentlemen validating us. God Bless you guys

[Kriegter]

Marines: Wow, these special operations guys are badass
Special guys: Wow, these marines are badass

[chrisgannon]

My father lost his life as a Marine Corps Medevac pilot during the Vietnam war. My mom held his service as a United States Marine in the highest regard. She loved the Marine Corps with all of her heart. After watching this video a couple of years ago i shared with her the kind words that were spoken about the Marines. She was so proud. Thank you both so much! Today would have been her birthday. Thinking about her as i rewatch this video. Semper Fi mom

[rastabhoy]

"...we airdropped them a palette of porn and protein powder" was a string of words that I didn't think I needed to hear today, but I'm glad I did.

[jaypr]

As a Venezuelan, I would follow these guys anywhere anytime. I just want my freedom back; I want my home back.




Edit: The comment is old, but just a disclaimer. Yes, the sanctions by the US hit the country hard, but it's just salt in a wound that has been long open. Russia, China, Cuba, and recently Iran, have been looting my country for far too long, decades in the case of Cuba. Am I willing to take the risk with the "imperialist" US? Yes, where do I sign? Most Venezuelans just want a strong ally to give us training and support, that's it. We'll fight our own war, but we need someone to teach us how.

[kellyash]

"At what?" is the best possible answer ever to this question.

[P]

Back in 2001 before 9/11 there was a show called Combat Missions, they had Navy Seals, Green Beret's, Delta, Recon Marines, Rangers, a CIA operative and a few other branches and mixed them all up as teams to go on the same simulated combat mission each week using miles gear, what impressed me the most was how each of those teams worked together almost flawlessly when it came time for the mission.

[vwgti]

The mutual respect amongst the military branches is something hard to describe. These guys did it justice.

[RushStriker]

I'm a marine. Didn't get to see combat but did my damn best to uphold the traditions and mindset of those before to my best ability.
It's an honor to hear these two speak so well of the organization. Thanks gentleman and may you inspire those who follow us.
Oorah!

[tylerkinslow]

As a marine ground pounder. Thank you. Thank you for understanding what we are. We are the dog you open the cage towards the enemy and hope you can wrangle back in. That's what we where breed to do. It's what we lived for, died for, and loved doing. Thank you a million times over for this.

As a 15-year Regular Army Combat Medic, I've had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of units from around the US military' Navy EOD, Marine Corps Infantry, SF, PJs, USAF JTACs, Civil Affairs, and "State Department" off the top of my head. One thing that has consistently - and I mean EVERY FUCKING TIME - impressed me is the inter-service professionalism. We talk shit about each other all day long back in garrison but when you're kicking sand on the two-way range, all that BS falls to the wayside and we make shit happen.
