Great wisdom - words man. I was explaining this in so many ways to my 19 yr old son right before he left for Parris Island last month...Army 12B 96-06 👊
Needed this video so badly. Thank you. So true you are. You should tour the US high school with your message because our children don’t realize the sacrifices others make for them. My one son worked his butt off during the pandemic while his friends took the government handouts. He had to pay taxes for his hard work but he gained self respect which is priceless. Thank you for your service
This is refreshing, I’m an immigrant to the US when I was 16, I’m 21 now and the huge difference in what men are pushed to be is a huge surprise to me. And my dad is exactly like you describe, a farmer, and a special forces man who has this duality of being an absolute unit, but his family never sees it, but knows it’s there, and I want that duality. Feeling like I SHOULD be non violent, not because I can’t, but because I’m capable and made a choice. I just got my citizenship and joining the military in 6 months to try to awaken that competitive, aggressive and primal part of myself that society doesn’t allow me to be. Your videos are a great help
As a usmc vet that conceal carries every single day the most important thing is discipline and situational awareness... I have the means and ability to inflict great violence and bodily harm but through discipline and restraint along with a good moral compass is what separates you from the evil egotistical sociopathic monsters of this world and you have a great responsibility to protect those around you not because you should but because you are able to 😊
I'd agree if he wasn't actively saying we need our 2nd amendment taken!! Not from him tho Lol He used to be a hero of him, he's still amazing!!! No denying that!! Sadly tho, he is a hypocritic.
@@vangalasushanth4372 I wasn’t trying to seclude other places. Tim is an American who’s a perfect example of what a great selfless person who puts their life on the line several times defending our country and everything it stands for represents. I guess the world could definitely use more people like him. Thanks for your reply.
@@joshmajor8662 THANK YOU, somebody recognizes he’s not perfect. I respect the SF but you don’t get to gatekeep training, shooting, and all around preparedness.
Thank you for this video it means the world to me. Truth is that Kennedy’s words resonates 💯 it’s all me. Hearing it from another makes it even more meaningful especially when my injuries don’t heal. Every morning is a battle, the pain keeps me from sleeping… but I will keep moving even if it means I have to crawl.
Tim and I chose similar paths in life. I’m no longer in group or the military. I’m a cop now and I was speaking to other officers the other day about the importance of being a dangerous person and being in control of that. Being a good man is being dangerous and knowing when it’s time to be dangerous. Being a good man is recognizing failure, acceptance of that failure and learning then growing from that failure. Life is about valleys, hills and mountain tops and you will never appreciate one without the other. “De Oppresso Liber”

As did I, in fact many in the martial arts community joke that I was "first draft" before Tim, LOL. I am 57 and just hung up my Special Agent LEO body armor after 30 years and beat throat cancer (never smoked, vapid or chewed). As to Jack Jack's question is it a step down, not at all. You are still a Sheepdog and if you spend a bulk of your career on a tactical team, like I chose, you will find a very similar (although not as fiercely loyal) community.

Going through the fire is not suffering. The suffering is the people that love the person going through the fire. They are powerless. Their task is much more deep. I never realized when I was deployed to Vietnam what my mother went through until my son deployed as a Ranger to both Iraq and Afghanistan. My Mother went through my Father going through WWII, me with Vietnam , then her grandson. Now Im 73 and going through treatment for cancer since 2015. I still workout as much as I can. When I first got sick I was doing 40 reps with 440 on leg presses and weighed 230. Now I do 160 12 reps and weigh 170. Its a balancing act. Chemo prevents cancer cells from growing, same with muscle. So you have to be careful to not overtrain, but if you don't train you loose weight fast. I don't fight cancer, I leave that to my Docs. I show up and try to answer their questions as honestly as I can. But being can do and suck it up can get you killed in chemo. I would tell my doc I could do another cycle and my wife blew up. She let the cat out of the bag that I couldn't walk 20 feet without looking like I ran a marathon. So my doc gave me a break and changed meds. I am now up from 158 to 170. That took a while. But the journey is different because of what Tim talks about having that guy to your left and to your right. You keep going forward. With our those beside you you can be fooled into thinking going forward regardless is the right thing to do. Im learning there is a balance to this cancer arena. My Infantry, SF and Aviation background is both a help and a burden. It's ok to not be the badass. Your doc can't make the right call if you don't have the word can't in your vocabulary. Your milage may vary.
I love your statement "It's ok to not be the badass". There comes a time when we must lay down our sword and fight different battles. You stay strong, friend. Talk to Yahuah all the time. Sounds like you do. He would teach that its ok not to be the badass. He would teach you to moderate your treatment. I also will pray for you. You don't have to fight your battle alone.
The words in this video belong in basic training and in a book! These are so true and honest pieces of advice. I remember how hard it was going through ranger school and then on to Q course. I was discharged in 2002 after receiving my second purple heart. And it hurt to be let go. But if people would listen to the advice given in this video, it will make you so much stronger and a better person! I never had a d.i. cadre or any officer give half of good of advice as what is spoken in this video. Listening to this gave me back that fire I need to get through everyday with the ptsd and mental bs of what we went through. But it was WORTH IT! God bless all my vetren and active brothers fighting the good fight! And thank you for making this video. You put fresh air back into a broken down old msgt. God bless you all and God bless the U.S.A!
First up, thank you for your service. There's a guy at work who claims he was a green beret from "4th Group's Hand to hand combative team." Sounds like BS, is he legit?
@@SteveCabana-ir7jt I've personnel never heard of a 4th combative team. I have heard of a 4th sf that handles psychological stuff but never had anything to do with them. I inquired with a few brothers of mine from the 5th and we all think it doesnt really add up but I got discharged in early 2000s. There could be a 4th sf at bragg but it's not anything we've heard of. I'm not going to say hes not legit but all I can say is if he's making this stuff up its shameful. Complete stolen, uncool. I wish I could help you more bud. I'll do some checking with my old captain. He will know.
I remember the suffering. I remember the good times. I remember most of it. Going through all that then made me tougher. And more appropriative of the good things in life
I train hard, in the gym and on my mountain bike. 7-10 hours hard at it per week. I regulate my food intake, eating only actual food like beans, beef, oats, honey, coconut oil, salt, brown rice, organic bread, eggs. My knives are sharp. My gear is prepared, in place, loaded up and ready. I read and study the manuals and topics I need to know, and I watch the enemy positioning. Push will come to shove and like a boxing match - that bell is going to ring and when it does, if you are not ready you are going to get your butt handed to you in a bucket. It's not a fantasy any more. Its tomorrow.
What you’re saying can’t be said any better. Without going through THE FIRE 🔥 we’re worthless. I so miss the ARMY, yes there’s parts I don’t miss “GARRISON” but the hard training with Weapons and Demo and Physical Training, that’s what made me a Man. SAPPERS CLEAR THE WAY HOOAH 😤
Oorah Brother.. thank you for your service and Sacrifices.. Your words are truth and inspiration, thank you for trying too help us sheep. Keep it up. Once more into the fray, too continue that Good fight. I am scared, and i am trying too regain my bearing, my health and my mind. Fuck life is Hard, but all we can do is either move forward or die and i Dont want too die, so i keep moving one foot in front of the other no matter the suffering or pain, for pain is weakness leaving the body and only temporary. Stay frosty with your head on a swivel, brother.. i Love Yal, be safe America
There is no shame in getting back up brother 1st or 2nd and going at it again...always looking to improve from the last test, scenario or event. These platforms we share on somehow makes us show the worst or best yet the reality is " we missed 1 training session, and not 3 months" . I like what im seeing keep the iron hot.!!
It’s hard to sit here being challenged as a veteran to be training. Yet I am waiting for a surgery in September to repair my rotator cuff and torn bicep. I hope and pray I can rehab before the shit hits the fan... ugh.
I can totally relate! Having complete knee replacement surgery in 3 weeks, had 1st one in December last year. . .single and worried about supporting myself with severe mobility issues
Hey I went through both surgery on both shoulders you are going to be laid up for at least 9 weeks waiting to heal then a couple months in rehab getting your arm back only have one tendon holding left shoulder together had to have right shoulder done twice first for repair 2nd for scar removal inside shoulder it's a long process but I'm back to almost 100 can't do pull-ups anymore but everything else is OK wish you good luck on your surgery I'm a vet 71-76 combat engineer so I need myself as close to operational as possible

We are the next generation of warriors. We must fix our country. American pride. The power is in the ppl. Honor those that died by being better and growing.
Love you Tim Kennedy! I wont quit. Your feeling the life force and you are divinely protected. If you knew how many of the prayers of the faithful and righteousness pray specifically for our military and the good people that protect democracy..... Maybe really you do feel the prayers you havent fully put that into context that it was divine assistance. Tim, my prayer is that you will futher the light and knowledge that you have been given to be enhanced unto the limitlessness of your spirit that is with in you. Our flag, our cause is one of divine appointment. I too, am another type of warrior on the home front who is anointed to fight the battles of addiction, alcoholism, and temptations of all kind. You have been gifted in the literal art of war. You are protected because your love for God (as you understand Him), family, and country that permeates through and shines brightly in all your countenances. I know you know what I am talking about. What your doing is so passionate and resognates so strongly, your actions speak so loudly we cannot hear what you are saying. I know hurt and pain, but in different ways of staying clean and sober for almost 13 years. I almost died of alcholism. After time and time again of going to jail and burning my hand on the proverbial stove....... I have dedicated my life to Jesus Christ. The Lord has a plan even for even a stubborn Ranger qualified Green Beret. Brother, you are on your mission now, and you have not even seen your best work. None of us have because the best days are ahead of us. As you said to we must continue to go through the refiners fire, again, again, and again, as we transform and our nature's are changed through Christ's power. “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, “Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, “May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; “And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:14-19). Patience with the process “Ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. “Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, … “And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost” (D&C 50:40-42). One of the best descriptions of this process can be found in these words of President Ezra Taft Benson: “The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. … “May we be convinced that Jesus is the Christ, choose to follow Him, be changed for Him, captained by Him, consumed in Him, and born again” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1985, 5-6; or Ensign, Nov. 1985, 6-7). On behalf of Tim Kennedy, his family , all the special forces community, and all the rest of the veterans, please feel our love for you and for your families to protect this great nation upon its ancient history that was for-ordained before the world was. That is why most if the world cannot explain something's happening to them within that they cannot put a finger on just yet. I bear my full witness and can testify of the truthfulness of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the American continent. That is why the Declaration of Independence was for- ordained on this continent and no where else. That is why we are free to worship and our faith increases and enhances our resolve. Tim you know deep down in your soul you feel what I'm saying. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints and I believe and I am a fierce patriot as well. Thank you for helping all of us prepare more confidently and enthusiastially about " This freedom thing, (deep pause) once you get a taste of it, its a drink you can't get enough of" - Tim Kennedy. Don't put a limiting belief (or a spiritual cap) on what you may think you know about the mysteries of the universe or of God. Jesus says "come, follow me". Take up His cross and have faith to believe Him and in Him, and he will take you to transcendence and past it into the eternities with things our human frame cannot fathom. 🌞🌝🌚🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌜🌛🌙🌍🌎🌏🌌🌠⭐☀⛅ P.S if you have questions the missionaries can help. Via con Dios mi hermano Paz
All who walk the Spec Ops path have a deep sense of responsibility and are far more effective in ANY battle scenario. Creativity and their ethos make them, truly, the tip of the spear. Give me 100 operators who've gone through the CRT and I can take any ground, face any larger force and control the situation. To all who walk that path, I honor you dedicated few.
Gonna give it hell at age 40 after injury/failure at 35… fuck it, thank you all for giving me the chance later in life to lead, serve!! I truly pray I can achieve half of what you bamf’s have achieved! We are savages with control! TK you and so many others are the only train we’re free today! 🇺🇸💪🏼🤘🏼🫡
I'm blessed, God has given me A gorgeous Wife that loves me, 2 sons and 2 daughters a great job. Making a good living. But I have never felt like I was worth anything with all that I'm blessed with. Only when I was a MARINE 0331 and Swine in STA. As miserable and hard as it could be. I was worth something to my self. I spent 16 years in. And all that I am on the other side is worthless. I'm ashamed that I can't do it anymore. Because I feel like even there at my ABSOLUTE WORST then, I was better than I could ever be here, now. I just feel as though I'm supposed to be the guy I was, and thats the guy I am.......................... And literally no one outside my marine brothers get that.
Feel ya brother, 0351 here. Didn't make more than 4 years but I too was blessed with a beautiful wife and daughter, until cancer took my wife 3 years ago. Like you, it kills me I can't seem to muster up the fortitude to be the father my 7 year old deserves, the stronger man I was, while also killing the toxic man i was... Steady digging out of this defensive position and going on the attack. We owe it to those we love but we also have to remember, they love us in spite of our short comings. Never quit trying, but remember they love us either way. Prayers for forward progress and a long and happy life with your loved ones brother. Semper! and God bless!
Are You asking Me what's the Problem?? ... Gutting it, that's the real Death of a Soldier, when the become Complacent.

Everything starts out with the mind of thoughts that you want to be like. Always think before you start committing

By far “discipline” is the most important part of character. Never give up!
Never.

Brave is not the one who is not afraid but the one who goes forward despite being afraid.

I like that. If you're not an athletically gifted super badass you're just a bag of blood.

do bare minimum, cut any corner possible, set up anyone holding them accountable, show up late and leave early

Tim is the truth.
To hear this warriors insight is amazing. He basically told you how to be a man without labeling it, How to Be a Man....
I wish that Ted Kennedy live closer to the school were I work as JROTC instructor. I know my cadets would love to see him.
I remember how homesick I was. Aside from the fear, I remember how much I missed my Mom & Dad.

The words in this video belong in basic training and in a book! These are so true and honest pieces of advice. I remember how hard it was going through ranger school and then on to Q course. I was discharged in 2002 after receiving my second purple heart. And it hurt to be let go. But if people would listen to the advice given in this video, it will make you so much stronger and a better person! I never had a d.i. cadre or any officer give half of good of advice as what is spoken in this video. Listening to this gave me back that fire I need to get through everyday with the ptsd and mental bs of what we went through. But it was WORTH IT! God bless all my vetren and active brothers fighting the good fight! And thank you for making this video. You put fresh air back into a broken down old msgt. God bless you all and God bless the U.S.A!
Right on brother!!👍💪🌠
We won't let you down in the END.... Ty for your service Sir...
@@dondon98 much appreciated brother
First up, thank you for your service. There's a guy at work who claims he was a green beret from "4th Group's Hand to hand combative team." Sounds like BS, is he legit?
@@SteveCabana-ir7jt I've personnel never heard of a 4th combative team. I have heard of a 4th sf that handles psychological stuff but never had anything to do with them. I inquired with a few brothers of mine from the 5th and we all think it doesnt really add up but I got discharged in early 2000s. There could be a 4th sf at bragg but it's not anything we've heard of. I'm not going to say hes not legit but all I can say is if he's making this stuff up its shameful. Complete stolen, uncool. I wish I could help you more bud. I'll do some checking with my old captain. He will know.
Never ever give up fightING for a TRUE
I remember the suffering. I remember the good times. I remember most of it. Going through all that then made me tougher. And more appropriative of the good things in life
As a veteran of the IDF I absolutely agree with you!
איפה שירתת אח?
Needed that one ! Thanks Tim
Everyone is scared but we go anyway.
I wanna have a deep conversaiton with this man...
Beautiful video. I remember these times
❤️❤️
I train hard, in the gym and on my mountain bike. 7-10 hours hard at it per week. I regulate my food intake, eating only actual food like beans, beef, oats, honey, coconut oil, salt, brown rice, organic bread, eggs. My knives are sharp. My gear is prepared, in place, loaded up and ready. I read and study the manuals and topics I need to know, and I watch the enemy positioning. Push will come to shove and like a boxing match - that bell is going to ring and when it does, if you are not ready you are going to get your butt handed to you in a bucket. It's not a fantasy any more. Its tomorrow.
What you’re saying can’t be said any better. Without going through THE FIRE 🔥 we’re worthless. I so miss the ARMY, yes there’s parts I don’t miss “GARRISON” but the hard training with Weapons and Demo and Physical Training, that’s what made me a Man. SAPPERS CLEAR THE WAY HOOAH 😤
I used to preach move forward like you are already dead, I think now I would teach move forward to keep your team alive.
We never stop learning.
Pain is temporary. Suffering is a choice. Live with pain and not in pain.
Oorah Brother.. thank you for your service and Sacrifices..
Your words are truth and inspiration, thank you for trying too help us sheep. Keep it up. Once more into the fray, too continue that Good fight.
I am scared, and i am trying too regain my bearing, my health and my mind.
Fuck life is Hard, but all we can do is either move forward or die and i Dont want too die, so i keep moving one foot in front of the other no matter the suffering or pain, for pain is weakness leaving the body and only temporary.
Stay frosty with your head on a swivel, brother.. i Love Yal, be safe America
I think for many it’s more about doing so much trying to do good in the world and realizing it doesn’t mean anything.
Only Tim can pull off those shorts. RLTW🤙
Greetings all the way from Sweden 🇸🇪 Brother
You lead the Way 👏💪👊
Love Tim 💜
Awesome stuff brothers 🙏🏼
Thank You
There is no shame in getting back up brother 1st or 2nd and going at it again...always looking to improve from the last test, scenario or event. These platforms we share on somehow makes us show the worst or best yet the reality is " we missed 1 training session, and not 3 months" . I like what im seeing keep the iron hot.!!
G unit :)
🔥❤
It’s hard to sit here being challenged as a veteran to be training. Yet I am waiting for a surgery in September to repair my rotator cuff and torn bicep. I hope and pray I can rehab before the shit hits the fan... ugh.
I can totally relate! Having complete knee replacement surgery in 3 weeks, had 1st one in December last year. . .single and worried about supporting myself with severe mobility issues
@@midwestern925 ouch! 😢
Hey I went through both surgery on both shoulders you are going to be laid up for at least 9 weeks waiting to heal then a couple months in rehab getting your arm back only have one tendon holding left shoulder together had to have right shoulder done twice first for repair 2nd for scar removal inside shoulder it's a long process but I'm back to almost 100 can't do pull-ups anymore but everything else is OK wish you good luck on your surgery I'm a vet 71-76 combat engineer so I need myself as close to operational as possible
I had that surgery too. It's a bitch.
The cartel would beat the shit out of this guy hard work my ass this guy would shit himself in Latin America 😂💀🙄
What if Tim came out of retirement for ONE more run!

I Love You 💗 💕 ❤️
Sporting a Black Rifle Coffee Company shirt.. isn't that the same company that talked down on call writtenhouse for defending himself? Yeah
Dig that
Anyone know the song at the start? With the violin?
We are the next generation of warriors. We must fix our country. American pride. The power is in the ppl. Honor those that died by being better and growing.
great man
Love you Tim Kennedy! I wont quit. Your feeling the life force and you are divinely protected. If you knew how many of the prayers of the faithful and righteousness pray specifically for our military and the good people that protect democracy..... Maybe really you do feel the prayers you havent fully put that into context that it was divine assistance. Tim, my prayer is that you will futher the light and knowledge that you have been given to be enhanced unto the limitlessness of your spirit that is with in you. Our flag, our cause is one of divine appointment. I too, am another type of warrior on the home front who is anointed to fight the battles of addiction, alcoholism, and temptations of all kind. You have been gifted in the literal art of war. You are protected because your love for God (as you understand Him), family, and country that permeates through and shines brightly in all your countenances. I know you know what I am talking about. What your doing is so passionate and resognates so strongly, your actions speak so loudly we cannot hear what you are saying. I know hurt and pain, but in different ways of staying clean and sober for almost 13 years. I almost died of alcholism. After time and time again of going to jail and burning my hand on the proverbial stove....... I have dedicated my life to Jesus Christ. The Lord has a plan even for even a stubborn Ranger qualified Green Beret. Brother, you are on your mission now, and you have not even seen your best work. None of us have because the best days are ahead of us. As you said to we must continue to go through the refiners fire, again, again, and again, as we transform and our nature's are changed through Christ's power.
“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
“Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:14-19).
Patience with the process
“Ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.
“Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, …
“And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost” (D&C 50:40-42).
One of the best descriptions of this process can be found in these words of President Ezra Taft Benson:
“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. …
“May we be convinced that Jesus is the Christ, choose to follow Him, be changed for Him, captained by Him, consumed in Him, and born again” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1985, 5-6; or Ensign, Nov. 1985, 6-7).
On behalf of Tim Kennedy, his family , all the special forces community, and all the rest of the veterans, please feel our love for you and for your families to protect this great nation upon its ancient history that was for-ordained before the world was. That is why most if the world cannot explain something's
happening to them within that they cannot put a finger on just yet. I bear my full witness and can testify of the truthfulness of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the American continent. That is why the Declaration of Independence was for- ordained on this continent and no where else. That is why we are free to worship and our faith increases and enhances our resolve. Tim you know deep down in your soul you feel what I'm saying. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints and I believe and I am a fierce patriot as well. Thank you for helping all of us prepare more confidently and enthusiastially about " This freedom thing, (deep pause) once you get a taste of it, its a drink you can't get enough of" - Tim Kennedy.
Don't put a limiting belief (or a spiritual cap) on what you may think you know about the mysteries of the universe or of God. Jesus says "come, follow me". Take up His cross and have faith to believe Him and in Him, and he will take you to transcendence and past it into the eternities with things our human frame cannot fathom.

Via con Dios mi hermano

All who walk the Spec Ops path have a deep sense of responsibility and are far more effective in ANY battle scenario. Creativity and their ethos make them, truly, the tip of the spear. Give me 100 operators who've gone through the CRT and I can take any ground, face any larger force and control the situation. To all who walk that path, I honor you dedicated few.
Lets goooo TIM!!!!!
Love hearing his experience and knowledge
I like how he bears his thinning hair with pride lol. Then i can too lol.
Nice shorts btw 🤪
I was thinking the same thing. I keep mine pretty short. So it really shows. But, it's OK, I've earned it.
Yeah I will
Probly not
Still mine
No one's always was
Right now
Faith is stronger than love or hope
You get what everyone else gets, you get a lifetime.
i wanna be a demon a monster and i am currently trying to be that demon
Well said 🦾
Survival and propagation of traits that promote survival.
this is why 1v1 rank is so dreadful
Wow just wow
Tim glowing like a fedboi
Gonna give it hell at age 40 after injury/failure at 35… fuck it, thank you all for giving me the chance later in life to lead, serve!! I truly pray I can achieve half of what you bamf’s have achieved! We are savages with control! TK you and so many others are the only train we’re free today! 🇺🇸💪🏼🤘🏼🫡
Welcome to Magdalyne's Blyss Holistic Healing Center Global WORLD PEACE initiative phase MEN save the world.
Veterans are my family.
Many SOF community members don't like sheepdog Tim but they don't say it to his face. 🇺🇲🙏🏿🙏🏿♥️
He absolutely means well in my opinion. Don’t love him as much as others, because he does like the attention, but he seems like a good dude.
Love these short films keep it up
I'm blessed, God has given me
A gorgeous Wife that loves me, 2 sons and 2 daughters a great job. Making a good living. But I have never felt like I was worth anything with all that I'm blessed with. Only when I was a MARINE 0331 and Swine in STA. As miserable and hard as it could be. I was worth something to my self. I spent 16 years in. And all that I am on the other side is worthless.
I'm ashamed that I can't do it anymore. Because I feel like even there at my ABSOLUTE WORST then, I was better than I could ever be here, now. I just feel as though I'm supposed to be the guy I was, and thats the guy I am..........................
And literally no one outside my marine brothers get that.
Feel ya brother, 0351 here. Didn't make more than 4 years but I too was blessed with a beautiful wife and daughter, until cancer took my wife 3 years ago. Like you, it kills me I can't seem to muster up the fortitude to be the father my 7 year old deserves, the stronger man I was, while also killing the toxic man i was... Steady digging out of this defensive position and going on the attack. We owe it to those we love but we also have to remember, they love us in spite of our short comings. Never quit trying, but remember they love us either way. Prayers for forward progress and a long and happy life with your loved ones brother. Semper! and God bless!
@@coryknox7934 thank you brother! I love You! Semper Fi I'm sorry for your loss.
God bless you and yours. I'll set my prayers for you.
😊 the warrior ethos
Are You asking Me what's the Problem?? ... Gutting it, that's the real Death of a Soldier, when the become Complacent. When they are walking through the course, not with the intent to Build Themselves Or Others!! It's a Posine, in a group.. and it takes a Honest Man taking his Life into consciousness and considering Are the Being A + to the Team? Because YOU SAVE yourself If you take the steps out...
Attention! Hand Salute!
I'll make it. Soon as my body and life gets restored and secured.
I believe in you.
@@JoshAgorriz thanks. I believed in me too. But leadership doesn't listen. And it's a very serious problem.
