Yea, Goggins and Gleeson went through class 235 together and even reference each other in their respective books Goggins even wrote the foreword for Gleesons book "Embrace The Suck"
The difference between a military team and a business is that lives aren't on the line, profits are. Motivation is super important in peoples every day lives, and feeling that you're a part of a larger team pushing in the same direction can be very positive. That being said, If the bigger thing I'm pushing myself to the brink of heart attack for is someone else's profit sheet and stock performance, then I'm happy being 'unmotivated'.
Nailed it... ppl really need a sense of purpose to stay motivated, otherwise why bother. Then u can band together with a team for the common purpose. Expecting profit (or wages) to be the sole motivator for ppl is cynical, delusional and damaging. It's like the bs freemarket trope that competition is what drives innovation. As if humans have only ever created n innovated in the name of winning or persuit of profit lol. Those ppl surely can't truly appreciate art.
i would replace the last bit with "i'm happy to leave". While exhausting yourself for profit isn't great, what's even worse is bringing everyone else down with your demotivation. Too often i experience people at work mentally resigning but not getting the fck out of the way because they still like the nice paycheck. That mentality is cancer, whether it's for your team's livelihood or profit, period.
The takeaway of the American Revolution is that you win the war when you kill the sergeants and let the generals just continue doing what they do. Most CEOs have no idea how to lead a group of people that have a specific job to do. Businesses were much more effective before the winnowing of the middle management level.
The problem in business is that leadership doesn’t know how, nor want, to instill trust. Most often, the kind of respectful and humane leadership, and valuing the ideas of those below you, is sorely lacking. It's all"top down".
@@paulinejackson5861 LMAO you have to be joking most of the guys who become navy seals have a background of toughness grittiness suffering and did you know trump avoided the draft trump lived a lifestyle of luxury
I teach high school students and I would really like to know how I could apply this to them. I think it would be great to teach them this concept at a young age.
Maybe some kind of team project, everyone chooses or is given a role with specific responsibilities (so they dont slack n let others do the work). If it's a bit fun, challenging but not too hard, working together achieving the goal should build trust and a sense of team I'd imagine. Unless it all turns to disaster n they start blaming each other haha. Honestly tho, I feel like competitive team sports (basketball n cricket for me) do a good job of all that.
every one of these guys just has that bad assed im never ever gonna quit and im also physically better than u attitude. obv takes a massive physical triathlete effort of no need apply plus that I got all that but now im dying and ill go on attitude. love these guys big inspiration in my life.
I worked at a company that had a group of us meet weekly to discuss problems, creative solutions and other stuff that took us away from getting our work done, and one of the things the appointed leader would do was to show TED lectures of motivational speakers; he especially liked the ex-military type speakers. It was all so funny since we were limited to a single creative process that was part of a training seminar that a VP had gone to several years ago. In the end, the company was sold, we all were fired and the leader opened his own business that failed due to underfinancing. The reality is that the world is going to beat the motivated person's plan as long as you do not acquire flexible thinking, and plan for things changing that are out of your control. The only way to beat the system is to function as an individual not trapped in Groupthink.
I think it's a good sign. It means that the viewers of this channel are very diverse, just like the general diversity of stuff that appears on this channel.
We all know that employee engagement is a problem in today's workforce??? We, the worker, have been shown that we are immediately replaceable. Our only value is as long as we are able-bodied and showing up. This is a pretty foul comparison, here. A Navy Seal is a hugely honorable position, and is treated with reverence inside and outside the military. A worker is, in far too many cases, treated like a necessary burden by a company. Can we replace them with a robot? Do it. Can we replace them with someone younger and cheaper? Do it. Can we get rid of them, and make someone already here do two jobs for the same pay? Do it. Sir, do not compare elite and very expensive military training to a business in today's environment. Companies see us as very, very expendable, and treat us thusly.
I like this attitude much better than the alternative. The management culture where I work is CYOA (cover your own ass). Management is playing game-of-thrones all the time. Stabbing each other in the back. Throwing each other under the bus. Brown nosing up, passing blame down, avoiding responsibility at all costs (if they get caught being dishonest they are fired, but they still do it all the time, as evidenced by all the firings). Corporate has rules against such things. But corporate isn't there in the trenches, deliberately so, as they don't want to know whats going on in the trenches so they put as little effort into seeing as possible. But they have to appear as if they do care as if they want people to take responsibility. So they make rules against dishonesty on paper, but give unrealistic goals. And management pay via bonuses depends on meeting the unrealistic expectations. Promotions too. You aren't gonna climb that corporate ladder unless you achieve the unachievable. Then they sit back and see if you can somehow bring the goods w/out officially on paper break any of the big rules/laws. And they deliberately break up any building into sections and force them to compete. They could instead make a building one big unit and if one part fails everyone shares in the failure, if the building succeeds everyone shares in the spoils, but instead they break it up into sections and the poorest performer gets openly scolded and shamed while the better performers get the rewards, fostering resentment and desperation in the poorer performing against the better performing. Definitely not a team. So instead of performing better by doing better, the incentive is to appear on paper to be the better performer by sabotaging your competitor. Since training is abysmal, few in management have the capacity to come up w/ways to perform better. Add in some desperation, and getting sabotaged themselves a few times, and they quickly turn to sabotage as a tactic themselves. All the effort that could go in to doing a better job, goes instead in to making your competitor do a worse job, so that you seem like the better performer and avoid the public shaming, maybe even get a reward. So they either are honest - but fail to meet the expectations, in which case they are demoted or moved out of production since they appear so disappointing on paper. Or they lie, cheat, stab stab stab and meet the expectations, get the promotions, get the bonuses, then get thrown under the bus by corporate if they get caught. The incentive is to get impossible results by breaking every rule, but not getting caught doing it, so you can get your bonuses and promotions. Many managers survive to a point then finally get caught doing something, not CYOA'ing enough, and end up fired. Or, more common, being given the old speech - quit w/some good references, or we fire you. Depending on the infraction they were finally caught for that is. If it involved law breaking for instance, or caused a lawsuit, then you just fired. But some manage to survive. The most successful method to survive this culture I've seen managers use: make sure you look like you're obeying the rules on paper, then verbally instruct underlings to break the rules for you. Corporate isn't there in person, except perhaps via an internal audit a couple times a year (which are announced in advance so the managers can temporarily follow all the rules) so they only see how things look on paper. They only see the results. They don't want to look too close because they might not continue to get the results they like to get. Corporate wants the rules followed, but on paper only, results are the higher priority. Management underlings start as supervisors. They are literally not trained on most of the rules, so they are often literally unaware they are breaking a rule when following an instruction, or even the law (which they are also not trained on). Corporate, which designed their training, will still hold them responsible in spite of their ignorance of which corporate is responsible and make them the sacrificial lamb once a problem is officially recognized. If corporate is made to officially realize a rule is broken (via lawsuit, or gov't authority, etc...) and therefore feel as if they are forced to come sniffing to find a sacrificial lamb, its the underling that broke the rule that pays the price and there's no tangible proof they can use to show it wasn't all them (the manager will just say that his underling is lying or misunderstood his instruction). The sacrificial lamb loses his job, and the manager finds a new underling. No problem is actually solved. But corporate keeps getting its nice results, yet looks on paper like they were doing their due diligence to solve the problem. And this company, somehow, is very profitable. I know all this because i've worked here almost 20 years and I've seen so many in management fail to survive the culture its ridiculous. We hire our management from w/in, w/almost no training or schooling requirements, the less they know the better as far as corporate is concerned, then into the meat grinder they go. They treat going into management as if it were a promotion, but those of us who have been hourlies have seen how most fare in it and wouldn't fall for that trap in a million years. For a long time we hourlies have seen that if you want money and job security your best bet is stay an hourly, it starts off harsh but in the long haul you get the security, the money, and you don't have to play the game of thrones and you never have to take your job home with you. Going into management is the kiss of death, unless you are exceptionally devious or have no ambition and don't mind staying on the bottom rungs of that corporate ladder. Its nice to know that at least some people out there would design their corporate structure differently.
The TEAM concept i am trying to develop into my new business concept and looking into how to create a TEAM to bring individuals together, to make them all feel they are the most important aspect if the business so we will do what ever it takes to do what's in the best interest of the client and the TEAM. Thank you for the great interview and please keep up the great content!
Fútbol 🥅 players have died while playing the sport on the field from massive heart failures and no one has tried to ban the game. It’s tragic but it’s apart of engagement… same with Navy Seals. I hope they provide more safety precautions in the future but some people will still die.
If you have base knowledge of the teams/BUDs then don't scroll further... as this comment section is a clusterfuck full of trolls and individuals extremely uniformed on the subject of SEALs/BUDs
I agree with everything he said, as for him. I want a more balanced life. My family is 1st. The team will go on with or without me. I'll play my role, but I will not die again. Heart attack 12/15/17.
You know why? Because Navy seals have a REAL and TOUGH job. IF they screw up, bad things happen. Most people, especially nowadays, do not feel any responsibility towards their jobs. Job is half assed because they get the salary anyways.
Seals are great warriors no doubt but Spartans were another level if you compare them to any warrior throughout history. Their culture was entirely focused on the warrior everyone in city was there to support the army. They killed the weak children and literally trained them in harder training than seals went though from the time they were toddlers. The weak Spartans didn’t get to quit, the only way out was death.
I need to prepare for hell week my dads a seal and has been ever since he was 24 he’s 35 now I’m a junior and want to join once I turn 18 any suggestions?
BUD/s is six months, then more advanced tactical training and evaluation then other specialty training, all before an 18 month platoon work-up for deployment
How is it even legal that they killed a person during training!!!! If he has a heart attack the police training the Navy SEALs have the obligation not to allow him to drown!!!!! He is not the only one who passed during this trainings, we have to start holding them accountable!!!!!!!!!
This makes them the best, number 1… there has to be risks in order to maintain that position. Plus, if ever there was war these Navy Seals must be strong enough to take out the enemy. Not everyone wants a soft life.
It's terrifying that they had a soldier die during a training exercise and immediately go on about trusting each other. Fuck that, you let someone die and are telling people to trust you when you're clearly not to be trusted with the people you're responsible for training. Trust is earned, and if you cause deaths in training, you shouldn't be trusted with a window plant.
But in real war, you have to trust each other, and people WILL die no matter what. What happened in training is very tragic and should never have happened, but the lesson remains the same.
Nice but not real work place applicable. Does and can work in startups, but impossible in a big corporation. Individual needs nice group... nice group needs nice team of groups... nice team needs nice division of teams... so on forth... Seal folks likely get bonded before a real job starts due their experience of common harsh of training and poor individuals are weeded out by then. However, in a corporate world, bonding starts with a real job. No 18months? of weeding out incompetence or incompatibility. Now, extrapolate that to board of directors...
If what they were saying was valid it wouldn't have to be put in the context of being a Navy Seal. How this has become a subgenre of management escapes me. One thing I have noted from so many of these ex-Navy Seal speakers is an incredible display of narcissism presented as self-confidence. I would rather listen to a single mother of four talking about the same subjects. At least the mother would have real-world applications for what they are talking about.
To allow and disregard the death of a member during training is highly disrespectful, how can you trust when you see that your superiors see you as dispensable, less than human, and teach your teammates to accept and promote it? If your superiors don't care about your life when you're training, how do you expect them to care for your life during combat and not risk your life recklessly and mindlessly? Seems like training cannon fodder rather than soldiers. The US has a serious problem caring for its military service members, tons of money goes to pay the big arms companies, but many service members just get crap all the way. If they don't carelessly kill you during training, or give you contaminated equipment, or send you into combat without a real plan, or help you with your PTSD, then you might just survive to become homeless. Veterans and service members need to mobilize to demand the respect they deserve from their nation and government. We need patriotism, not subservience.
its the reality of those that want to be the very best in the world. its not safe, no one acts like it is. if you want to be at the top, you take risks. stop bitching, they all know what they sign up for.
Luke Kulak your 100% correct. They don’t care about emotion. They have to see you only as an asset during the training until they formed the brotherhood. Respect is earned. Not given.
So you’re saying that the Navy Seals are cannon fodder? One of the most elite groups of soldiers ever? That’s simply not true. Although unfortunate, the incident showed them that they would lose many of their friends during war and how to emotionally deal with it
You made great points, but when you're in that situation (training/combat) you can't focus on your guy's death. Also, like he said, you are not the priority. I've never seen combat but I can guarantee that if I died and I could choose whether or not to have my buddies grieve over it for weeks or months I'd definitely choose that they continue their duty as effective as possible because it's what's best for the team.
I agree with everything you said but patriotism in itself is also quite cancerous. If it's too strong it blinds you to the flaws of your country. More than people of other countries, each citizen should criticize their own country as much as possible in hopes of making it a better place.
I have some words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this: All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? God is described as a "righteous judge" in the bible, many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This essentially means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortality and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What is this new way entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. ... What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith to believe it. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured and *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still sin after accepting Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong one - of God bringing you back to Him and away from the destructive pleasures of sin (think greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did xxxx. I just felt that I should tell you regardless, just so that you know, tried to answer any questions. Xx let me know if you have any more if you need clarification xxxx
All politicians should be required to have served four years before holding any public office. In fact I think military service should be required of all service age men and women. It would put an end to all this anti American, leftist, garbage were cursed with.
Finland is to the left of the USA politically. They have mandatory military service for all men. So military service doesn't guarantee a more right wing country.
yeah. we are all just a bunch of grunts with no skills. It is not like a i'm a Network Administrator. Nor does it matter that I have a degree in software development paid by the army. You are right, I am just disposable trash.
And again. You have no idea what the military life is. your idea of the military is some shit out of a dark age movie. you think people are thrown into battles without regard of their safety? a mission will not even be considered if the chances of anyone on that mission dying is high enough. do you have any fucking clue how much money military gives to a family if their loved one dies on a battlefield?? of course you don't. you just like to talk out of your ass.
Seal "trainning" like any other special forces trainning in the world is about finding those who can take all the crap and abuse and still follow orders. Period. If you fail at any, you are considered "weak"... Which is laughfable, really.
I wonder why a channel called "Big Think" that helps you "get smarter, faster" is posting a video about the training for a military organization. Teamwork is surely important in modern society and if we think of mankind as a whole team. But I believe critical individual thinking is also essential if one wants to contribute actively to any effort of a group, rather than being exploited for the purposes of other people. Individual thinking doesn't get the due attention in the military, in my opinion. So: couldn't another example, more suitable to the name of the channel, be proposed?
How is the death of team mates not only acceptable but expected in a TRAINING exercise? IMO that's not bravery its callous. Skip the romantic ideas about fraternity. For the enlisted soldiers the military is just a vehicle into the middle class for lots of guys with no real alternatives for earning a career or respect.
dothedeed The goals of the military are different than civilian life. People have to die in order for the group to survive in combat in order for civilians to live their lives free of fear from an enemy. This in turn allows civilians to produce things like helicopters and advanced medical equipment that saves lives. One life is a tragedy but that experience for the seals will shape their future and save lives. What if you could end a war and save millions of lives by fire bombing a city or dropping a nuke? Could you do it? Those are the kind of decisions people have had to make. There is nothing more dangerous than having an indecisive leader who sacrifices the whole for the one.
I don't agree with any of this. First, you accept that death is a possibility during training because death is ALWAYS a possibility in life. Crossing the street, driving your car, sitting at a bus stop, fast roping during training... death is a split second decision away when you least expect it. Add your personal health into the equation and the probability is either positively or negatively affected. Second, we don't sign up to kill people or to be killed. No, that's the end result of something going poorly at an earlier stage of "interaction". We sign up to defend our nation, the nations of our allies, and "the little guy" nations we hope to make our ally. We, as a nation, don't always get it right. I personally don't agree with all of our foreign policy. Regardless, we do more good than harm by far. We train to mitigate casualties on both sides of any conflict. Militarily speaking, the best defense is not a good offense but rather being a good deterrent. Finally, we as a nation have our flaws and faults. Our allies have theirs. Our adversaries have their own as well. At the end of the day we are all human beings. We're all brothers (and sisters). I respect the Russian, North Korean, and Chinaman as much as I am afraid of him and as much as I would want to kill him in the battlefield. The majority of our military would much rather meet those fine human beings in a bar and buy them a beer, swap stories with each other, and make a new comrade than we would to have to resort to any other type of "interaction". We also realize they have different ideals, ideas, and ways of life but we also understand that being different isn't, in itself, a threat which warrants aggression. With that said, Semper Fi.
pubgeesus And I agree with you, they take the best and make them better, better animals. Easier to follow rules given, smart enough to kill, dumb enough to not think for themselves morally. That's what a soldier is. I have nothing against that really, I understand what an Army entails. But the propaganda sold to teens about it, is obscene. Especially with the current state of our veterans who aren't taken care for. It's sad.
GET TO THE POINTS AND STOP BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR SEAL EXPERIENCE! IS YOUR LIFE SO POINTLESS THAT YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF GOING BACK TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND TELLING EVERYONE SUCH THAT THEY KNOW HOW COOL YOU ARE?
BigBadWolf, yeah, some SEALs hold on to that "team guy" shit like they're holding on for their dear life, others get over it and say "it's just a job."

Hooyah Mr. Skop!

CEOs should drown a middle manager to build trust and team building
The takeaway of the American Revolution is that you win the war when you kill the sergeants and let the generals just continue doing what they do. Most CEOs have no idea how to lead a group of people that have a specific job to do. Businesses were much more effective before the winnowing of the middle management level.

Very good talk! Thanks for sharing your experience/knowledge!
The BUD/S candidate that he mentions is Lt. John Anthony Skop Jr.
And who was he???
@@HarPlayer probably a buds candidate
"just before 911, peacetime" I remember that time.
control ur mind the mission is first.. never surrender till the mission is complete....
I strongly believe a successful Navy Seal would be a successful President of United States.
Nah, seals talk real shit when necessary, presidents talk shit all the time.
Sounds like a great idea, just get the most humble, smart seal on there
Trump would have made a great Navy SEAL back in his day. He has the same drive and determination to succeed of any great SEAL.
His name will be Ron DeSantis.
@@paulinejackson5861 LMAO you have to be joking most of the guys who become navy seals have a background of toughness grittiness suffering and did you know trump avoided the draft trump lived a lifestyle of luxury
Damn 18 months long, I knew it was long but I had no idea it was that many months. I thought 8 weeks of basic was hell
As a general rule big companies don't give a SHIT about people. Unfortunately.
I teach high school students and I would really like to know how I could apply this to them. I think it would be great to teach them this concept at a young age.
Maybe some kind of team project, everyone chooses or is given a role with specific responsibilities (so they dont slack n let others do the work). If it's a bit fun, challenging but not too hard, working together achieving the goal should build trust and a sense of team I'd imagine. Unless it all turns to disaster n they start blaming each other haha.
Honestly tho, I feel like competitive team sports (basketball n cricket for me) do a good job of all that.
every one of these guys just has that bad assed im never ever gonna quit and im also physically better than u attitude. obv takes a massive physical triathlete effort of no need apply plus that I got all that but now im dying and ill go on attitude. love these guys big inspiration in my life.
David Goggins was in your class?
TheFalloutShot96 the BEAST
I worked at a company that had a group of us meet weekly to discuss problems, creative solutions and other stuff that took us away from getting our work done, and one of the things the appointed leader would do was to show TED lectures of motivational speakers; he especially liked the ex-military type speakers. It was all so funny since we were limited to a single creative process that was part of a training seminar that a VP had gone to several years ago. In the end, the company was sold, we all were fired and the leader opened his own business that failed due to underfinancing. The reality is that the world is going to beat the motivated person's plan as long as you do not acquire flexible thinking, and plan for things changing that are out of your control. The only way to beat the system is to function as an individual not trapped in Groupthink.
He has blue buttons on his shirt, how exotic?

Felipe Frota I know it’s a shame people aren’t even paying attention to the message
I think it's a good sign. It means that the viewers of this channel are very diverse, just like the general diversity of stuff that appears on this channel.
What’s so bad about it?
We all know that employee engagement is a problem in today's workforce??? We, the worker, have been shown that we are immediately replaceable. Our only value is as long as we are able-bodied and showing up. This is a pretty foul comparison, here. A Navy Seal is a hugely honorable position, and is treated with reverence inside and outside the military. A worker is, in far too many cases, treated like a necessary burden by a company. Can we replace them with a robot? Do it. Can we replace them with someone younger and cheaper? Do it. Can we get rid of them, and make someone already here do two jobs for the same pay? Do it. Sir, do not compare elite and very expensive military training to a business in today's environment. Companies see us as very, very expendable, and treat us thusly.
I like this attitude much better than the alternative.
The management culture where I work is CYOA (cover your own ass). Management is playing game-of-thrones all the time. Stabbing each other in the back. Throwing each other under the bus. Brown nosing up, passing blame down, avoiding responsibility at all costs (if they get caught being dishonest they are fired, but they still do it all the time, as evidenced by all the firings). Corporate has rules against such things. But corporate isn't there in the trenches, deliberately so, as they don't want to know whats going on in the trenches so they put as little effort into seeing as possible. But they have to appear as if they do care as if they want people to take responsibility. So they make rules against dishonesty on paper, but give unrealistic goals. And management pay via bonuses depends on meeting the unrealistic expectations. Promotions too. You aren't gonna climb that corporate ladder unless you achieve the unachievable. Then they sit back and see if you can somehow bring the goods w/out officially on paper break any of the big rules/laws.
And they deliberately break up any building into sections and force them to compete. They could instead make a building one big unit and if one part fails everyone shares in the failure, if the building succeeds everyone shares in the spoils, but instead they break it up into sections and the poorest performer gets openly scolded and shamed while the better performers get the rewards, fostering resentment and desperation in the poorer performing against the better performing. Definitely not a team.
So instead of performing better by doing better, the incentive is to appear on paper to be the better performer by sabotaging your competitor. Since training is abysmal, few in management have the capacity to come up w/ways to perform better. Add in some desperation, and getting sabotaged themselves a few times, and they quickly turn to sabotage as a tactic themselves. All the effort that could go in to doing a better job, goes instead in to making your competitor do a worse job, so that you seem like the better performer and avoid the public shaming, maybe even get a reward.
So they either are honest - but fail to meet the expectations, in which case they are demoted or moved out of production since they appear so disappointing on paper. Or they lie, cheat, stab stab stab and meet the expectations, get the promotions, get the bonuses, then get thrown under the bus by corporate if they get caught.
The incentive is to get impossible results by breaking every rule, but not getting caught doing it, so you can get your bonuses and promotions. Many managers survive to a point then finally get caught doing something, not CYOA'ing enough, and end up fired. Or, more common, being given the old speech - quit w/some good references, or we fire you. Depending on the infraction they were finally caught for that is. If it involved law breaking for instance, or caused a lawsuit, then you just fired.
But some manage to survive. The most successful method to survive this culture I've seen managers use: make sure you look like you're obeying the rules on paper, then verbally instruct underlings to break the rules for you. Corporate isn't there in person, except perhaps via an internal audit a couple times a year (which are announced in advance so the managers can temporarily follow all the rules) so they only see how things look on paper. They only see the results. They don't want to look too close because they might not continue to get the results they like to get. Corporate wants the rules followed, but on paper only, results are the higher priority.
Management underlings start as supervisors. They are literally not trained on most of the rules, so they are often literally unaware they are breaking a rule when following an instruction, or even the law (which they are also not trained on). Corporate, which designed their training, will still hold them responsible in spite of their ignorance of which corporate is responsible and make them the sacrificial lamb once a problem is officially recognized. If corporate is made to officially realize a rule is broken (via lawsuit, or gov't authority, etc...) and therefore feel as if they are forced to come sniffing to find a sacrificial lamb, its the underling that broke the rule that pays the price and there's no tangible proof they can use to show it wasn't all them (the manager will just say that his underling is lying or misunderstood his instruction). The sacrificial lamb loses his job, and the manager finds a new underling. No problem is actually solved. But corporate keeps getting its nice results, yet looks on paper like they were doing their due diligence to solve the problem.
And this company, somehow, is very profitable.
I know all this because i've worked here almost 20 years and I've seen so many in management fail to survive the culture its ridiculous. We hire our management from w/in, w/almost no training or schooling requirements, the less they know the better as far as corporate is concerned, then into the meat grinder they go. They treat going into management as if it were a promotion, but those of us who have been hourlies have seen how most fare in it and wouldn't fall for that trap in a million years. For a long time we hourlies have seen that if you want money and job security your best bet is stay an hourly, it starts off harsh but in the long haul you get the security, the money, and you don't have to play the game of thrones and you never have to take your job home with you. Going into management is the kiss of death, unless you are exceptionally devious or have no ambition and don't mind staying on the bottom rungs of that corporate ladder.
Its nice to know that at least some people out there would design their corporate structure differently.
SmegInThePants informative comment. Thanks for the effort put in to write it.
I hear ya!
Fuck..I can’t believe I just read all of that..
This is every corporate culture. It’s really just an extension of high school.
SmegInThePants truest thing i have ever read.
The way he said "Success" just caused me to lose my appetite.
He was in buds with David Goggins
He's the SEAL version of Simon Sinek.
The TEAM concept i am trying to develop into my new business concept and looking into how to create a TEAM to bring individuals together, to make them all feel they are the most important aspect if the business so we will do what ever it takes to do what's in the best interest of the client and the TEAM. Thank you for the great interview and please keep up the great content!
SEALs are cool
Fútbol 🥅 players have died while playing the sport on the field from massive heart failures and no one has tried to ban the game. It’s tragic but it’s apart of engagement… same with Navy Seals. I hope they provide more safety precautions in the future but some people will still die.
Great one!
Every thing he says is true. P.S.He looks like the love child of Michael keaton and Eric Drumpf.
Best 7,52 minutes of my day,watching this clip.
Excellent cogent speaker
Safety is the number one priority
dylan Safety never takes a time out.
If you have base knowledge of the teams/BUDs then don't scroll further... as this comment section is a clusterfuck full of trolls and individuals extremely uniformed on the subject of SEALs/BUDs
I agree with everything he said, as for him. I want a more balanced life. My family is 1st. The team will go on with or without me. I'll play my role, but I will not die again. Heart attack 12/15/17.
I like the fact you use the same music
You know why? Because Navy seals have a REAL and TOUGH job. IF they screw up, bad things happen. Most people, especially nowadays, do not feel any responsibility towards their jobs. Job is half assed because they get the salary anyways.
when you're "all so out of it" your friend drowns next to you smh, the fact that shit like this even happens is so stupid
Modern day warriors like Spartans or even as tough as some biblical heros
Seals are great warriors no doubt but Spartans were another level if you compare them to any warrior throughout history. Their culture was entirely focused on the warrior everyone in city was there to support the army. They killed the weak children and literally trained them in harder training than seals went though from the time they were toddlers. The weak Spartans didn’t get to quit, the only way out was death.
Seals would kick spartans ass
TEAM!!!!! TEAM!!!!!! TEAM!!!!!!! TEAM!!!!!!!
Why don't they do that in the Supermarket?????
How do you dislike this video?
I need to prepare for hell week my dads a seal and has been ever since he was 24 he’s 35 now I’m a junior and want to join once I turn 18 any suggestions?
you will have a horrible week, but you will *not* give up
its a breeze if you bench press 1.75x bw. squat 2x deadlift 2.25x. 6:00 mile. 30 pull ups.
Love the SEAL stuff
I miss the brotherhood more than anything. I will wander the streets at night. Alone, a shadow of those we lost.
I'd say somthing anti war but then people would cry
Whoa! Training for Terries is getting better! WORLD POLICE
Anyone else thinking he looks so much like Elizabeth Holmes??
In our prayers
HOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!
I thought this was click hole.
18months long? I thought is was 6...
The Reapers Chronicle buds is 6 months.
BUD/s is six months, then more advanced tactical training and evaluation then other specialty training, all before an 18 month platoon work-up for deployment
How is it even legal that they killed a person during training!!!!
If he has a heart attack the police training the Navy SEALs have the obligation not to allow him to drown!!!!!
He is not the only one who passed during this trainings, we have to start holding them accountable!!!!!!!!!
This makes them the best, number 1… there has to be risks in order to maintain that position. Plus, if ever there was war these Navy Seals must be strong enough to take out the enemy. Not everyone wants a soft life.
@@myahill7475 I call it BS! Dying on the field is not like dying during training.
@@BeGioBijoux soccer 🥅 players die on the field… I guess, since it’s entertainment no one objects?
I'm not going into the navy I'll rather go to the airforce or army much easier
It's terrifying that they had a soldier die during a training exercise and immediately go on about trusting each other.
Fuck that, you let someone die and are telling people to trust you when you're clearly not to be trusted with the people you're responsible for training. Trust is earned, and if you cause deaths in training, you shouldn't be trusted with a window plant.
But in real war, you have to trust each other, and people WILL die no matter what.
What happened in training is very tragic and should never have happened, but the lesson remains the same.
Except when they try to reassimilate to society and they're already warped
Drewski for president of EA/The Internet/The World!
He looks high
That guys death was just a trust exercise lol
Nice but not real work place applicable. Does and can work in startups, but impossible in a big corporation. Individual needs nice group... nice group needs nice team of groups... nice team needs nice division of teams... so on forth... Seal folks likely get bonded before a real job starts due their experience of common harsh of training and poor individuals are weeded out by then. However, in a corporate world, bonding starts with a real job. No 18months? of weeding out incompetence or incompatibility. Now, extrapolate that to board of directors...
Extreme disciplne
So truee
Sounds like the people supervising them screwed up.
Not sure this is a apples to apples comparisson
Navy seal this Navy seal that..
Wasn't it two Devgru guys who killed a green better because he would not be part of their scam?
Band Ana yes.
They got away with it pretty much. Murdered the guy and then they got slap on wrist.
Brent
Hundreds of Russian soldiers commit suicide every year, just to avoid the training. Imagine what the training is like !!!
I wanna be a seal
give up the hair
haha...really?
If what they were saying was valid it wouldn't have to be put in the context of being a Navy Seal. How this has become a subgenre of management escapes me. One thing I have noted from so many of these ex-Navy Seal speakers is an incredible display of narcissism presented as self-confidence. I would rather listen to a single mother of four talking about the same subjects. At least the mother would have real-world applications for what they are talking about.
To allow and disregard the death of a member during training is highly disrespectful, how can you trust when you see that your superiors see you as dispensable, less than human, and teach your teammates to accept and promote it? If your superiors don't care about your life when you're training, how do you expect them to care for your life during combat and not risk your life recklessly and mindlessly? Seems like training cannon fodder rather than soldiers. The US has a serious problem caring for its military service members, tons of money goes to pay the big arms companies, but many service members just get crap all the way. If they don't carelessly kill you during training, or give you contaminated equipment, or send you into combat without a real plan, or help you with your PTSD, then you might just survive to become homeless. Veterans and service members need to mobilize to demand the respect they deserve from their nation and government. We need patriotism, not subservience.
its the reality of those that want to be the very best in the world. its not safe, no one acts like it is. if you want to be at the top, you take risks. stop bitching, they all know what they sign up for.
Luke Kulak your 100% correct. They don’t care about emotion. They have to see you only as an asset during the training until they formed the brotherhood. Respect is earned. Not given.
So you’re saying that the Navy Seals are cannon fodder? One of the most elite groups of soldiers ever? That’s simply not true. Although unfortunate, the incident showed them that they would lose many of their friends during war and how to emotionally deal with it
You made great points, but when you're in that situation (training/combat) you can't focus on your guy's death. Also, like he said, you are not the priority. I've never seen combat but I can guarantee that if I died and I could choose whether or not to have my buddies grieve over it for weeks or months I'd definitely choose that they continue their duty as effective as possible because it's what's best for the team.
I agree with everything you said but patriotism in itself is also quite cancerous.
If it's too strong it blinds you to the flaws of your country.
More than people of other countries, each citizen should criticize their own country as much as possible in hopes of making it a better place.
I have some words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it.
Its long because I've tried to and any faqs!
Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this:
All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
What is that "glory", morally speaking?
Well, the opposite of human nature and desires.
Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us.
But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it?
Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
God is described as a "righteous judge" in the bible, many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
This essentially means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
"The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation.
Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished.
Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
"I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortality and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26
ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
Religion = rules to be saved
The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What does it actually mean for us?
It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation.
Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
What is this new way entail?
It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
Sound "opposite" again?
God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
...
What is the way FOR though?
Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith to believe it. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
God preferred His own Son to be tortured and *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
What if I still sin after accepting Christ?
That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
It's a process - a lifelong one - of God bringing you back to Him and away from the destructive pleasures of sin (think greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
"those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
Don't know where to start?
Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all).
Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you.
Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16
Thanks for reading if you did xxxx. I just felt that I should tell you regardless, just so that you know, tried to answer any questions. Xx let me know if you have any more if you need clarification xxxx
I still like to be a navy seal, but I put myself above the team
So, corporate executives pay this guy to tell motivational team building stories. This is absurd and greasy.
niemand262 underrated comment
I felt a desire to try hell week course.
try???? hahaha
All politicians should be required to have served four years before holding any public office. In fact I think military service should be required of all service age men and women. It would put an end to all this anti American, leftist, garbage were cursed with.
Militarism isn't the solution to everything
Finland is to the left of the USA politically. They have mandatory military service for all men. So military service doesn't guarantee a more right wing country.
“Control you emotions” = surpress them until you return to civil society then flip out for no reason on an innocent citizen
???
the hell do you think military life is? do you think we are some sort of cult without individuality?
klakiti bunch of psychos
yeah. we are all just a bunch of grunts with no skills. It is not like a i'm a Network Administrator. Nor does it matter that I have a degree in software development paid by the army.
You are right, I am just disposable trash.
And again. You have no idea what the military life is. your idea of the military is some shit out of a dark age movie. you think people are thrown into battles without regard of their safety? a mission will not even be considered if the chances of anyone on that mission dying is high enough.
do you have any fucking clue how much money military gives to a family if their loved one dies on a battlefield?? of course you don't. you just like to talk out of your ass.
navy seals be excellent warriors but the best be those who belong to mossad israeli special forces
Italo Grumman I don't believe so.
Lmao sike!
Seal "trainning" like any other special forces trainning in the world is about finding those who can take all the crap and abuse and still follow orders. Period. If you fail at any, you are considered "weak"... Which is laughfable, really.
I wonder why a channel called "Big Think" that helps you "get smarter, faster" is posting a video about the training for a military organization. Teamwork is surely important in modern society and if we think of mankind as a whole team. But I believe critical individual thinking is also essential if one wants to contribute actively to any effort of a group, rather than being exploited for the purposes of other people. Individual thinking doesn't get the due attention in the military, in my opinion.
So: couldn't another example, more suitable to the name of the channel, be proposed?
this isnt about the training of a military organization. can you please listen again, and correct your ignorance
I did listen again, but I think I need your help. What would you say it's about?
Wow
I don’t understand why police and the military is hated on. They enforce the rules not make them
How is the death of team mates not only acceptable but expected in a TRAINING exercise? IMO that's not bravery its callous. Skip the romantic ideas about fraternity. For the enlisted soldiers the military is just a vehicle into the middle class for lots of guys with no real alternatives for earning a career or respect.
I don't like that either. The Mafia or Yakuza has some of the same rituals as well and were not supposed to be appalled by this WTF!
dothedeed The goals of the military are different than civilian life. People have to die in order for the group to survive in combat in order for civilians to live their lives free of fear from an enemy. This in turn allows civilians to produce things like helicopters and advanced medical equipment that saves lives. One life is a tragedy but that experience for the seals will shape their future and save lives.
What if you could end a war and save millions of lives by fire bombing a city or dropping a nuke? Could you do it? Those are the kind of decisions people have had to make. There is nothing more dangerous than having an indecisive leader who sacrifices the whole for the one.
how dare people try to make something of themselves.
I don't agree with any of this.
First, you accept that death is a possibility during training because death is ALWAYS a possibility in life. Crossing the street, driving your car, sitting at a bus stop, fast roping during training... death is a split second decision away when you least expect it. Add your personal health into the equation and the probability is either positively or negatively affected.
Second, we don't sign up to kill people or to be killed. No, that's the end result of something going poorly at an earlier stage of "interaction". We sign up to defend our nation, the nations of our allies, and "the little guy" nations we hope to make our ally. We, as a nation, don't always get it right. I personally don't agree with all of our foreign policy. Regardless, we do more good than harm by far. We train to mitigate casualties on both sides of any conflict. Militarily speaking, the best defense is not a good offense but rather being a good deterrent.
Finally, we as a nation have our flaws and faults. Our allies have theirs. Our adversaries have their own as well. At the end of the day we are all human beings. We're all brothers (and sisters). I respect the Russian, North Korean, and Chinaman as much as I am afraid of him and as much as I would want to kill him in the battlefield. The majority of our military would much rather meet those fine human beings in a bar and buy them a beer, swap stories with each other, and make a new comrade than we would to have to resort to any other type of "interaction". We also realize they have different ideals, ideas, and ways of life but we also understand that being different isn't, in itself, a threat which warrants aggression.
With that said, Semper Fi.
dothedeed when you accept the concept that death is sweet liberation.
Then you can accept the loss of another solider.
He has really feminine eyes... prolly the eyelashes...
That's from the Hell week. Don't ask! :3

Training people into animals
pubgeesus And I agree with you, they take the best and make them better, better animals. Easier to follow rules given, smart enough to kill, dumb enough to not think for themselves morally. That's what a soldier is. I have nothing against that really, I understand what an Army entails. But the propaganda sold to teens about it, is obscene. Especially with the current state of our veterans who aren't taken care for. It's sad.
GET TO THE POINTS AND STOP BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR SEAL EXPERIENCE! IS YOUR LIFE SO POINTLESS THAT YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF GOING BACK TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND TELLING EVERYONE SUCH THAT THEY KNOW HOW COOL YOU ARE?
someone has some insecurities
BigBadWolf, yeah, some SEALs hold on to that "team guy" shit like they're holding on for their dear life, others get over it and say "it's just a job."
You must be the dude that was kicked out of the Navy for flipping of a baby, correct?
@@johnjohnson1288 Well, considering how hard they had to work to get that job, I don't blame them. They did EARN the "bragging rights".
SEALS DONT GET PTSD
That’s why they are SEALS
