I spent Bootcamp and School of infantry with Dakota Meyers and even then he was a leader and a stellar marine.
Sir I have a question for you. There is a gentleman here who claims there are holes in Sergeant Dakota Meyer's story. Since you know this man better than any of us. Is there anything to back up this man's claim? When I see sergeant Meyer speak I see no signs of deception and I genuinely see a sincere man speaking from the heart. The way he denies his heroism and claims he failed doesn't look like a man whose lying... Just thought I'd ask you since you were as one could say "on the inside". Any rumors of lies or anything like that or is this a person fishing for something to find that disputes what Meyer's has said. Thank you ahead of time if you even feel this warrants a response. And I understand if it does not.
@Ben Warner dude why would the helicopter footage look that intense?! Like it makes perfect sense to me that the enemy would try to hide while the helicopter is hovering over head with rockets and gatting guns. They were there for 20 to 30 minutes right? So why don't you think it's possible that when they fly off to reload or whatever the enemy comes back out into the open and the firefight picks up. It's not only plausible it makes perfect sense. Just the simple fact that there even is a fire fight going on while they have air support of such close proximity makes you wonder how hardcore this engagement was. Do you see what I mean?
@Ben Warner and to answer your first question again. There's a quarter million people who debate the roundness of Earth. We're talking about a quarter million people who think Earth is flat.... just because a large number of people debate the legitimacy of a theory that does not mean their theory is legitimate.
@Ben Warner c'mon man... Your telling me the video you watched of this operation was from a helicopter so high up you cannot see it with the naked eye. Yet you say they were low enough to make out different people. Get your story straight son. Is a helicopter capable of flying so high. Ya maybe. Was it? Nope. They don't provide COVER for troops at 10,000 feet bro... Look I feel like your either trolling of fishing for reasons for this man to be wrong. If your not an expert at deception than stop trusting yourself to be an expert at deception. Look into the Dunning Kruger effect. It's a phenomenon that accurate when someone is so uneducated on a topic that they lack the knowledge to understand how little they know. So someone who knows very little might feel like he knows alot because he just doesn't understand what he doesn't know. Or rather is incapable of understanding how much he doesn't know and feels educated and smart on any given subject. When you hear veterans blowing the whistle listen. Until then trust but verify. And I have verified your story when I shouldn't have even trusted you. Your fishing not an expert leave the facial feature analysis for someone who went to school for it.
@Ben Warner in an attempt to keep this peaceful I'm going to have to stop this debate. I respect your opinion but I strongly disagree sir. I hope your wrong but I will never deny the possibility that your right. So thank you for attempting to inform me, perhaps the fault lies with me.
Listened to Joe Rogan for 5 minutes then searched for this and started listening to this to the end.
Yup! Way better choice!
Same bro
@@cameronprice931 Not a ton of time, when does it get good...
Yep I had to watch it seeing how it effected the both ofem
Exactly what I did too. So many emotions evoked in this podcast, Rogan could not do this guys experience justice, had to be Jocko, truly amazing and poignant
This story hits 10x harder after watching Afghanistan fall today…
Myself and a bunch of buddies are just sick over what we're seeing.
Some of us went in in the late 80s early 90s and now retired or retiring after 25 and 30 yrs. Even more of us are medically retired and busted up for whatever life we've got left.
It makes me physically ill what has happened in this ending
A place can only 'Fall' if you have 100% control over that real estate. With all do respect if Alexander the great, The British and Russian Empires got their arses kicked in Afghanistan; what ever made you think that the US would have been any more successful? The USA used the wrong resources and strategy; not utilising your EXCELLENT special forces, advanced tech and comms was a huge mistake. Like other conflicts; this conflict was fought via the balance sheet and the boardroom.
@@63Baggies Afghan republic fell. Well, I dont even have face to call it a republic. that degenerate named Ghani...
He knew from the beginning. It's not failure its betrayal.
@@hannibalburgers477 That may very well be true, but I'll put my mortgage on the fact that the situation is way more complex than that. Hannibal the truth is that no one appears to learn lessons from places such as Afghanistan; they have a well worn saying in that country "invaders may have all the clocks and watches; but we have all the time" this proves that they're happy playing the 'long game'. That Copper and Iron isn't worth the human cost in lives whether they be Afghan, US, British or other Nato guys; the businessmen and lobbyists manipulating congress should leave them alone and find another way to make more tax free profit.
@@OldSchoolParatrooper you were in the US army?
"Devil dog, you say the word-I'll do the driving" as epic as it gets
That was straight out of a movie.
That's a real friend right there, a Brother.
Badass….. all I gotta say
@@Limb0117 amén 🙏✝️💜😇
And the fact that when the time came, he kept his word, he was in the shit right there with him, legendary. A true brother right there.
@@mojosrecoveryandherbalreme6567 Hotrod is the fucking MAN!!!
As an Iraqi, I respect this man a lot for not only his heroic acts, but how humane he is.
Kamil we fight with you boys. The battle will be won one day brother.
Kamil much love and respect to you my man
kamil fair enough
Welcome to America Kamil
kamil fasho brother...go bucs
Silence is the loudest sound in this podcast
TukinLikeAMufugga wow so right great assessment! Dam right
I agree. A couple of the moments of silence were a gut punch. You could here so much in that silence.
I thought about that too- absolutely. The silences were so poignant-
And jocko sighing
@@livewellwitheds6885 Sighing with great effort to control his obvious Rage
How well prepared is Jocko! It's crazy how well he set up his questions and leads the conversation in such a way that he ends up going back to the book, having set up the situation already.
It shows how genuinely interested in the person he's interviewing. It's like he's asking those questions not for his viewers, but himself.
I’ve watched this podcast over fifteen times. There’s more to be found in this conversation each time.
I sat in my patrol car at the verge of tears humbled. As a Marine myself I'm at a loss of words. Semper Fidelis brother.
Howl 2k wat
David R me too , I listened to the Rogan and this podcast in entirety today during my tour today . Also ordered his book . As if I need more fuel to feed my PTSD !! Stay safe
12/5 brother.
Frank Migliore..... look into that shot in the neck treatment Dakota got brother!
Semper fi.
so who left Rogans podcast about a minute in to watch this?
haha exactly what I did. It's so fucking intense
Me , wanted to here what these guys say since I'm shipping for the army soon as 12B
Same here
Haha
Yep
My God, the more I learn about Sgt. Meyer's actions, the more I realize what an incredible deed he did. Also, the more I listen to Jocko, the more I understand what an incredible leader and SEAL commander he was. His intellect is off the charts.
4 friends who would switch me one day to have one more day! On Sept. 11, 2001 three very good friends and coworkers road a UAL 757 into a field in Pennsylvania that was hijacked. There are many accounts of the deeds on that aircraft and some of them are disputed by crews working the flight line at Langley AFB that day. Not about the heroic actions of the passengers, but what caused the aircraft to crash. I'll never know the truth, but do know that we sent a lot of good young men and women, including my son to fight a war that was lost by the incompetency of the leaders.
@@bionicsjw the united states government orchestrated 9/11 along with saudi arabia and israel to pull the crank on the military industrial complex. maybe one day the people involved will be held accountable for their actions
@@codylowrey6955 facts.
@@bionicsjw hey brother I'm just trying to make people think...
I don't care how fast a 757 air plane was flying when it crashed....
IT WILL NEVER DISINTEGRATE INTO LEAVING NO PARTS LEFT, AND LEAVE JUST A
"HOLE IN THE GROUND"
it literally can not happen that way. Ever.
Think with your brain and not with your emotions.
So we're supposed to believe that...
Not 1
Not 2
But 3 jet engines hit the ground so hard in a dirt field no less... that it vaporized all 3 engines with titanium parts??
A lot of great America's died that day.
But not one of them died in that DIRT FIELD.
IMPOSSIBLE.
BE SAFE ALL.
"They would switch me my worst day, to have one more day" heartbreaking statement but glad Dakota can think of it all that way!
This was the most gut wrenching,emotional Podcast I ever listened to,Dakota laid it all on the line with little support from the higher ups.
You can tell he’ll carry that day the rest of his life.I hope he has peace in his life.
Well said! I've read Dakota's book as well, and never in my life have I been that emotionally affected by a book.
You're not lying bro. I almost teared up a couple times. I felt it coming, but quickly swallowed it.
@@rezonite Oh man, I hear ya!! It's such a incredible book cover to cover and I think everyone needs to read it at least once.
@@peterhayes4990 I was assuming that it would be ok, nothing special. This interview was incredible.
Couldnt have said it better myself. What a heavy conversation. This man has my eternal respect.
Jocko should have narrarated the audio book. His voice is perfect
I agree wuth you shane
I was for real thinking the same thing while listening to this
Shane Jones Jocko should narrate every military audiobook
Cameron C jocko should narrate every book.
Legit was thinking the same thing
When he said "There was no doubt in my mind that I was gonna die but I had something to do until the darkness came" my eyes filled up with tears and I got chills. wow how insanely brave is that. Thank you both for your service and sacrifice. This world needs more men like these.
I haven’t read a book in who knows how long but I bought this audiobook and was astounded
Every American should hear this podcast.
This episode
Completely agree.
At the minimum, every officer in charge in the military.....
every free human should hear this podcast and Dakota's story.
"I didnt just lose 4 brothers that day, I lost 10". Thats as real as it gets folks. Love this dude
HOLD ON HOMIE... Legit warriors right here!!
Ben Warner
You hear this guy tho, he naturally takes the lead in most situations. He like a mother hen. Na, just jokes...
I see your perspective, but I give him the benefit of the doubt (Not that I’d know what deliberately tempting death on a daily basis is like and as such, realise I don’t really have a fuckn clue what it feels like and what effects it has on a psyche when experienced in successive experiences.) he said a few things that resonates with my own childhood. Go back and have another listen to his upbringing. Dunno how u were raised and what experiences you may have had but in cases like Mr Meyers, the level of passion, intensity and discipline it instils is impossible to meaningfully convey with a few typed words.
Ben Warner
Point taken. You think he did all this for a book deal? Or is there more to this story that isn’t mentioned here?
@Ben Warner you sound like a racist south african bastard...so i get why you don't like him calling an afghani "brother." I also don't believe SHIT you've said about combat...racist fuck
@Ben Warner yeah yeah yeah you're a fucking military badass and Dakota is not right? Never mind the investigation and eye witness accounts verifying what he stated. I didn't know they just GIVE you the MoH for telling a great story. And i don't give a fuck about your experience, you keep rattling it off in evey comment like we are suppose to validate you in some way. Sorry we don't care about your story bud.
This is one of the best podcasts I've ever watched. What a grueling story. It definitely leaves you at a loss for words.
As soon as I heard "Multiple machine guns from an elevated position" my heart sank.
Paused Joe Rogans podcast and came to watch this. Not sure if I have enough beers or kleenex left, but I'm gonna give 'er hell!
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
Just did the same. 😁
Some holy shit up in this podcast.
Same! I had to listen to this one first before I could finish the JRE podcast.
Ditto
Imagine audio book of “Into the Fire” with Jocko voice.
I'd pay for it
I need this to happen
Son of a bitch Im in 🙌🏽
@@StevenMoyleReacts HA!
I was thinking the same thing
I remember seeing Dakota Myers at my boot camp graduation back in January 2012 as a special guest. It’s such an honor to listen to him speak a decade later. A true hero.
It's awesome seeing Dakota opening up to a fellow Vet
"There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to die...I knew it. But I was gonna make the sonofabitches earn it!
This should be a movie.
That was the manliest shit I've ever heard. That dude is a savage.
CHECK!
This is gonna be a movie for sure
Disagree! This shouldn't be slaughtered by Hollywood. This Heroic man deserves better than that, and I honor him. Well done, and thank you! SGT Dakota Meyer, you did not fail for lack of heart, your command failed you and therefore I don't see you as a failure. Your my Hero! Bless you!
If anyone makes this movie they better not fuck it up.
A 21 year old Corporal showed more leadership and loyalty that day than any sergeant major, flag officer, or general officer at FOB Joyce.
Sebastian Saldivar it takes someone like him to do these things. Give people rank you and they get unwilling to take risks for anybody else. True fact of life. It’s generally the people low on the totem pole who make heroes. The young, the broke, those with no ambition or prospects. Those who are pariahs and pilloried by their peers. Greatness comes in the low more often than in the high places of life. That’s the norm, not the exception.
@tooklongenough humble beginnings
@tooklongenough
We are talking about reality here.
Keep the silly bronze-age fairy tale woowoo, in the fiction section, where it belongs.
@@corettaha7855 yep
Your reply should be at the top. As a title.
Was listening to this while working in my shop. When he mentions that the TOC learned that it was Marines on the ground, when he said "all support stopped", I literally dropped what I had in my hands and stared at the wall. There's absolutely nothing to say to that.
Yes there is: What a bunch of horse crap! Damn em to hell.
Unbelievable
I dont get that? why? like rivalry or something?
@@justinryce408 I’d assume something simple like army not wanting to use ordinates for marines when marines should use they’re own. I’m only assuming. Danger close mission was still called so it’s not like they were breaking any ROEs
Yeah I came into the comments to understand this.. tell me the book Jack nobody wants to talk about this? Is a rivalry or operations or what?
We need story time with Jocko where he reads us war stories.
The greatest single episode of any podcast I've ever listened too. Goosebumps
Gay
let's talk with. And then Kyle carpenter came out, what a story!
Respect
Yep..
goosebumps and tears.
Thanks for not rushing it Jocko. This is one for the history books.
"....I was not going to cry...."
Meanwhile, I'm in tears while both of these men...who have been through.... beyond harrowing situations...are centered, and in control of their emotions. Absolutely amazing. God bless Dakota, Joco, the Marines, our military personnel...and God bless the USA. What a podcast man. The hair on my arms is still standing str8 up.
The most badass Marine and the most badass SEAL conversating.
Served with part of Dakota's team (GySgt Aaron Kenefick) and thanks to Dakota's actions that day, I can visit his final resting place. Oddly enough we were from the same area (Western NY) and got to hang out while stationed in Quantico. Also ordered a canvas from Dakota's Flipside company and mentioned I was putting it at Aaron's grave site and Dakota gave me a full refund. A great human being. Hope to meet him one day.
" An Afgan soldier went to help a U.S. marine get his friend"
" Because we're brothers "
😭😭😭😭😭
just because ur mom and his dad doesn't mean....
Almost teared up man
Realest words every spoken. Some times your family ain’t shit and the guy beside you is your brother to the end.
@@klassky17kingklassky81 so true
Respect!
i am a veteran from Iraq and went through some shit there too. I have the upmost respect for Dakota, his story, and his humility. He is a true man among men. I wish him the best and hope that his life will be full of happiness and richness.
"Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself."
- War Hero
When Jocko express his feelings then goes “alright back to the book”... I never related so much in my life
"BTB" Should be his call sign.
I feel like Jocko, as he's reading this, is wishing he could have been there to choke out all of the command in the TOC for their incompetency for proper planning and response to the situation on the ground.
Damn right
I love this guy. So fuckin humble and just a solid human being. Thanks for your service brother. Hope life after the military keeps ya busy. All the reason in the world to take the credit and accolades and yet never fails to mention how he isn’t anything special on every interview he does. If his story wasn’t enough to convince you he is indeed special, that fact is.
Hero does not come close. Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do.
Watching Dakota lean into the mic at 1:34:45 with a full heart and say, “Yeah, because we were brothers.” hit me hard. Ive never heard so much love, determination and sadness wrapped up in one sentence.
made Jocko need to compose himself.
Hit me like a fucking train.
I was just scrolling through the comments when I read yours as Dakota said it. Crazy.
"Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself."
Remington Pearson That statement makes no sense. You said the same thing twice but in a different way.
@@smghero585 you didn't understand it.
Paul Fugate I understand it. The wording is just a little off.
@@smghero585 He drove to a random parking lot and found himself in the middle of nowhere with a gun to his head. When he pulled the trigger, the gun didn't shoot. In that moment, he realized he wanted to live, thus finding himself (in the middle of nowhere). Get it?
Remington Pearson As I said I understood it I just said the wording was off and I think it’s a good quote.
I remember my DI telling me about the Marine sniper team that fell asleep during watch. I never ever slacked off on watch till the day i got out. Took it very seriously as one should
I went private sector after I got out. Me and a few others were known for our ability to not sleep for days. Those occurances relayed to us back then is why. Stay alert stay alive
“I wasn’t firing the machine gun, I was the machine gun. Rod wasn’t driving the truck, Rod was the truck(...)I had something to do, until the blackness came.”
Shook my soul.
Deepest shit I ever heard
The fact that I can feel Jockos frustration and anger with the entirety of Dakotas situation from start to finish is amazing he feels this and Dakota listening to his own story in silence is humbling.
When they both sit silently.... they're speaking a langauge that only the battle hardened can understand
@tooklongenough Not funny, and highly disrespectful to the dead, the wounded, and the deeply-scarred survivors.
Sounds like you would benefit from a big bite of reality from the sandwich of life. Then we'd see how quick you'd be to make jokes about such things. Nothing like what Dakota went through, mind you (I wouldn't wish that on an enemy), but just something harsh enough to teach you there are certain subjects you just don't joke about.
Not cool, man. Not cool at all.
Indeed man. Heavy subject no doubt. Much respect.
@@Quazi-moto are you seriously speaking for Dakota? And you're telling the poster to basically go get hurt in retaliation for a TH-cam comment? You're not listening to Dakota. We need less pain, not more.
Chill out
@@barretcoe4841 You're right about the less pain, not more. And my comment _was_ partially a knee jerk reaction. But I never wished physical harm on him. I'm not THAT bad.
There are plenty of things that could happen that don't involve injury that could teach that guy to respect what these 2 men stand for and represent.
I'm also not speaking for Dakota, but in defense of him and all the others that suffered that day. They aren't here to do it, so I took it upon myself to speak out against this unacceptable level of disrespect. Like it or hate it, right or wrong, that's what I did. But you can't hate it TOO much because it's basically what you just did to me in defense of tooklongenough.
@tooklongenough Lol. Lol.
Thank you for this. I’m glad you are alive Dakota. As a retired first responder who has lost coworkers to suicide (for whom I have greatest understanding and compassion) I’m still dealing with my own version of PTSD at age 60 after having left EMS 20 years ago. You have reminded me that I am the most comfortable in a chain of command being of service with my tribe. No matter how old I get I still have the desire to be of service. You have reminded me how important it is to follow that innate calling at any age in whatever capacity possible. What you do and what you share makes a difference.
Woke up to this Podcast going and restarted watched all the way threw as someone who can't say I've been in combat, but to feel the pain of loosing brothers and people who meant the most to me this podcast hit home! Seriously just gave me a better perspective on life an others and how I should move forward and life, and keep pushing because you need to push for those who can't no more.
I bought the audio book and listened to it three times on my way to work. I guess, some day in the future I will listen to it once more. It's captivating.
Notice how quiet Echo is for most of this. It is humbling, I need to learn to shut my mouth more.
Amen bro, somebody once said ''knowledge speaks while wisdom listens''.
What the fuck could he ever say...he never served, he has NO IDEA what these two patriots are experiencing. So sit back, sit there, and shut the fuck up “Echo Charles.”
@@themartialmind4833 Wow love that. Thanks for sharing mate.
@@scotrule6128 That was really uncalled for.
Scot Rule why are you so angry behind a computer screen?
As a person that has always struggled with the morality of the troops being overseas , this podcast really put things into perspective for me. These are great people man.
That’s one of the biggest problems today. Less than 3% of our population has served or has an immediate family member who has served. The majority of our population looks at war & foreign deployments from a point of political opinion. They don’t realize these guys don’t give two shits about politics. They care about each other ..... the guy next to them. They fight for each other and they fight for this country.; not for some political ideal. Our citizens need to be learning about those who serve and stop with all their political opinions like these men & women are pieces on a chess board. They are people just like the rest of us who have something inside of them that most don’t and that’s why they serve.
@@CarolinaNocked couldn't have said it better myself. The courage to risk your life for ideals you believe in is unreal. Putting political differences aside and fighting for the men next to you and for people you don't even know! Truly Heroic
Goddamn right
@@CarolinaNocked The road to hell is paved with good intentions.... These guys can have zero political interest or motivation but they are sent to these places by politicians, no war has been started just to maintain some sense of brotherhood...Wars are fought for power, resources, revenge etc and that right there is the realm of politics. I say this as someone who has served(not American) the problem is people WILL come together in hard situations regardless of morality and that's not what we need. The Germans didn't do what they did to keep the concentration camps going they did it for brotherhood etc and all of that makes me respect a Wehrmacht soldier but not happy they did it.
I spent 29 yrs as a cop...Dakota is someone who did this in days...met Kevin Major Howard from FMJ movie...spent 3 days with him as a driver/escort...told me about the movie...and the stories surrounding it...spent time after my career working with middle school kids as a school team advisor...I used Jocko's ... motivation vs discipline when speaking about being "good" and "yourself"...this podcast is moving...thank you Dakota
I will never be the same again after listening to this podcast. Sometimes good men in this world have to do bad things, and see bad things. I am so incredibly humbled, and grateful for the men in that room, men who put it all on the line for my freedom. I pray Dakota is able to get a full night's rest, and know how truly grateful I am for him.
This podcast is about to experience the Joe Rogan effect.
NIIIIQQ 100%
lol 100%
I'm here because of it, and speechless, hurt and angry. Wow. But also left in admiration
Lmao Rogan helped Jocko to start it in the first place.
Yep I'm 22mins in now.
The silence starting at 1:30:39 is absolutely deafening.
Memories, feelings, sounds and smells become real once again, the darkest day of lifes that were not saved recalled. The demons we carry can appear even in the calm of silence.
Jocko is a very controlled man as I’m he is very good and staying calm and you can see how hard it is for him to hold back his anger and frustration in this reading
I just wanted to say thank you for your service, all the men on this podcast. Im Canadian, i never served, but this podcast has really helped me out in the last year, thank you
This was a SOLID 3 hours 43 minutes and 15 seconds. Need to read Into The Fire now.
Vanessa Lanzas You won't regret it. Life changing book!!
Peter Hayes agreed, and after you read it you won’t be able to stop coming back here to hear him talk about it
It took a man of Jockos pedigree and experience to interview a man who's done what Dakota has done....nuff said
dal cassian Well said and couldn't agree more. Have you read Dakota's book?
Very true. TH-cam Dakota and Jocko. Dakota just interviewed Jocko because Jocko is HIS hero. And it's just as deep, if not deeper.

This podcast moved me. Thank you for your sacrifices, our country will forever be in debt to you and your brothers. Until Valhalla 🇺🇸
This is one of the most captivating podcasts I’ve ever heard. Unbelievable.
I'm going to listen to it again, it's that good and surely I missed something.
You’ve got to read his book man. Insane read. I was never a book reader growing up but man into the fire really had me on my toes and mixed with emotions of infuriation and sadness and happiness. Men like Dakota Meyer make me so damn proud to be an American. Huge recommendation for anyone that watches this and hasn’t read.

Same
Jocko’s podcast is life changing
Gi Joey it is life changing. I started
To wear sunglasses indoors and take pictures of myself like you.
I never had social media until this week.
But I bought glasses and posed and took pictures of myself.
My wife thinks it’s cheesy as fuck. But I was like this is what women like.
Look at me indoors with sunglasses on
I also wear sunglasses at night.
I have no words to describe this. I respect that man more than I can possibly describe. This might’ve saved my life as well, and definitely put it everything into perspective, and made me realize a lot of things.
Have seen quite a few of Jocko's podcasts so far but this one is by far the most powerful one i have seen.
Respect is well and truly earned for Dakota, not just for his selfless acts and courage during battle but for his honesty and willingness to reveal his inner shadows too.
Holy hell...Saw Dakota on joe Rogan in 2019...Searched for this and listened to every second of this video. I have never served...I am honored to have been able to hear you story...I have never ever cried at a TH-cam video...Untill today...God bless Dakota and jocko and all the fallen hero's...
Crying? Wtf

Irl you get smacked the fuck up and more then likely you do so that's why you internet pussy boy. Maybe you need some emotion in life to release your childish behavior. I'm sorry for whom ever touch you wrongly in life. God bless you
Not enough Americans are listening to this conversation.
Theyre too busy arguing about inane shit and faux outrage virtue signalling to give a shit about life and death for young soldiers.
Copy that
Getting high frying your brain everyday going to clubs on weekends, the American way in this millennium
Poland here! Our soldiers were in Iraq with you too! I’ve heard that your boys were often surprised with our ‚museum’ equipment, but at least we did our part, unlike western Europe.
I’m not American, I live here so I love this country. Because of people like this, we enjoy our daily lives without a microcosm of foreign war touching our borders. Think about that next time you get irritated because TH-cam won’t load. I mean that in a general sense, not you in particular.
What a heart wrenching cast. Respect to everyone who has served.
We are here and we are listening with deep gratitude. God bless you always
You can sense the reverence Jocko has for this man.
As a retired Marine who had the privilege of serving with a Medal of Honor Recipient and two Navy Cross recipients, this interview crushed me. God bless our Corps and may God keep Sgt Meyer safe through his trials, tribulations, and nightmares.
S/f,
What an incredible platform, to give this guy the time to tell his story. Thank you for your sacrifice.
By far my favorite podcast you’ve done. I keep coming back to listen. His attention to detail and his ability to think outside of his own mindset. He brakes down the story as if I was there. Best book ever
This is the first Jocko podcast I've ever listened to...... All I can say is holy shit. Subscribed
Check out the SOG stories with him also !!
Bye J. Rogan
I feel like a coward after watching this podcast. I aspire to be like these guys.
scene
Land of the free home Because of the brave!!!
andrew gangemi what’s brave about it? Fuck these guys
@@guccimane6116 theres a special place in hell for cowards such as yourself. Fuck you.
@@guccimane6116 would never do a small percentage of what theyve done. You're a coward and a lesser man.
This guy makes me even more proud to be American🇺🇸
the take away if you listened, should be proud to be a human being.
I am so envious of you guys who did what our country needed to be done. Please hold the line.
I lit a cigarette at the end of the thing and just sat in my balcony... The gear discussion they were talking about just was chatter at the back.
I couldn't hear any of it
I am Indian but my heart goes out for any soul that fought for freedom and lives of others
May God bless them all
As a fellow vet, I appreciate how well spoken, and genuine this was. War is different for everyone.
Because I was listening to two MEN I tried to hold in my tears for as long as I could but @ 2:55:27 for those who gave all I let ‘em loose . This was probably the heaviest podcast I’ve ever heard . Salute to all servicemen and women fallen and living 💔🇺🇸 #NOMOREWAR
Same here man, hearing jocko start to choke up at @ 1:30.55 got me
I admire you SGT. Meyer your a good person and a true friend to all you served with. God bless you!
The heaviest podcast I've ever heard anywhere...
Man these guys are fuckn real heroes, the Afghanistan men definitely included. And they’re just people, they’re all just people like us
All afghan terps should be here
@@alleystargrowley2784 until the enemy figures this out and starts putting there men in that position to get a free pass to the u.s with a somewhat respected position rather then just an immigrant
Podcast like this will still be around long after we all are dust. This is solid history about the reality of serving our nation.
Who's here because Jocko is a Great American Hero?
As a Marine and a retired officer. I feel the anguish Dakota felt , Semperfi my brother
As a corpsman I feel for this young man, and all of our soldiers, sailors, and devil docs.
Jocko must have been awesome to serve with, just listening to him speak makes you more confident. Also they need to get Jocko reading war books on audible.
villen that man Jocko has a powerful soul and Dakota God bless in Jesus name amen
Had to watch this in pieces, (coming from a former Marine Corps Corporal)... incredible reveal of the truth of what goes on to our nations finest.
Please wear that medal Dakota, for the exact reasons you say, selfish or not. Incredibly humble you are...but you deserve it and so do your teammates.
Semper Fi brother.
Legendary episode! I listen to this twice a week to remind me whats really important in life. Thank you for you selfless service 🇺🇲
I’m a civilian but this is incredibly eye opening. I may not be cut for the marines but I have nothing but respect for men willing to give everything for me and mine.
All ya can do is love your neighbor and be the best you can be. We need those type of soldiers at home now more than ever.
They are giving everything for elites not for their people
I think everyone could gain a lot from listening to these men or anyone man or woman from the armed forces.
You're definitely cut out for the Marines mate, the standards aren't exactly high
It's always the men who don't know. That end up having grit that comes from gods. Those who pretend to know are usally the ones you carry out.
From a fellow Kentucky boy who grew up down in that area, very proud of you. Forever indebted for your service and the sacrifice of you and all your Marines.
This is the first jocko podcast I ever listen too , and now I'm watching it again 2 years later
Going over Jocko’s library of content during my lockdown has been a gift. Listening to these life stories of soldiers, their discipline and what they’ve went through as well as lessons learnt has added a lot of perspective to the cozy life I got plus a shot of much needed inspiration
Im two hours and ten minutes into the episode, anyone whos watched that far knows what that means. There are tears in my eyes. Prayers to the families of those men. Semper Fi.
Im right there with you, and right there with him in that battle. My hairs are raised listening to this, such an incredible story.

God damn, Joe Rogan bought me here but I’m staying
Mo Hersh you definitely not alone
*raises hand*
I feel extremely inadequate to hear Sgt Meyer saying the he failed his mission and that he didn't fulfill his promise. Maybe it's the way he deals with the loss of his brothers in arms, maybe it's just the way he deals with himself, but there's no failure when you try as hard as he did, trashing the value of his own life for his comrades. The outcome sometimes does not relate with how hard you try, how hard you want it. Not everything in life is under our control, there are people and circumstances that gets into our ways. No excuses if you try harder as it could possibly be, just facts, inevitable facts. Sgt Meyer you are no failure, that day life failed you and your brothers instead.
Life didn't fail him that day. Cowardly Officers and Staff NCO's who were more concerned with their careers and promotions than American and Partner lives failed him. Failed all of those men. Let us not sugar coat, nor forget that.
@@TheYemcl absolutely agreed. When I said "people and circumstances" i just meant that. The cowardly and greediness of the officers was obviously something out Sgt Meyer control, even though he predicted it. Never to be forgotten indeed
Very profound! And I think it’s his mentality that allowed him to do things 99.99% of us wouldn’t in the same situation. He represents the best of humanity in terms of camaraderie and it’s also his curse.
my entire life is a failure! Compared to Sgt. Meyer; i have failed doing nothing he did everything to get shit done. Never ever a failure in any case. Unfortunate for you life sometime sucks at everything. Some more than others...
Even when you try your hardest and do everything you can there is still failure. He promised his brothers he would be there and he wasn't. No matter the circumstances he failed. The only people who can tell him he didn't fail are his brothers that he promised he would save. He lived that failure and has come to terms with it and it has lead him to live how he does now. Don't take that away from him. He talked about his struggle to live with that failure everyday I don't think you should tell him it doesn't exist.
With that medal and that book all his brothers will be remembered 🙌.
This podcast makes me think that maybe our problems aren't as big as we think they are
Exactly, perspective is a wonderful thing.
Maybe? They aren't.
Mine absolutely are not.
100% I think everyone should listen to this. We have no clue behind the comfy walls of the United States
100%
Perhaps the heaviest podcast on the internet. The perspective it delivers is brutally sobering. Whomever emptied Dakota's gun so he could tell this hard story is an Angel.
Hardcore...proud as hell for my Marine brother Dakota. Pain is pleasure. Semper Fi!
1:39:10 “But I was gonna make those SOB’s earn it”. This man is the real life Rambo but with a heart of gold.
They had it to do
