    My dad was a lieutenant in Vietnam. He was only interested in getting his troops home safely. They were Texas boys. He actually got them home safely and they showed up to his funeral in 2005. The funniest story was everyone in the squad having to use Campho phenique -a menthol salve-on their balls to combat jock itch from wading into brackish water. Eventually he came to laugh about it. War is hell. But I think my dad was a good leader. His troops loved him. Hoorah!

    The first three minutes of this one are the most powerful. So good to see a grateful immigrant. Welcome, Lex. You are the type of New American my father and uncle fought and bled for in wars past.

    You’re not afraid of having the hard conversations- they are necessary and you do it gracefully. Thank you for that beautiful tribute to our country 🇺🇸

      Are you afraid of dying? Ive heard this question a handful of times on a handful of episodes. THATS a hard question nobody wants to ask, and is necessary? Nobody asks it cuz its not moral and everybody should obviously not want to talk about their death, or how they feel about it. He knows it too, thats why he gets into his 'shy shell' when he asks. Its weird questions. Plus we all know and dont care to know the answers. Its either a "yes", and, well, duh...or "no", and your just a tough guy, who fears to show his fears. Because NO ONE, is not worried about dying and leaving loved ones behind. NO ONE! These interviews are like a 4 year old talking to fully mentally developed intelligent professional KIND people who not once speak their mind about these immature weird questions (not all questions). JRE interview....first question..."are you afraid of dying.....maybe, today?" Its unreal, embarrassing, and makes you want to spit your drink out, all at the same time. I hope one of these times someone speaks their mind about, "What kind of question is this". Put some russian cartoons on kid and grab ya sippy cup.

    The way Jocko looks at Lex when he asks "What does it feel like....to kill another human being?" Priceless. These conversations can be titillating.

    Jocko is a great example of CONTROLLED ego. Lex keeps coming at him with philosophical open ended questions and Jocko responds like a hammer driving large nails in two taps. Both guys just think on a completely different level and that was why Lex hardly at all followed up on Jocko's answers. It was weird....I was waiting for responses. Jocko is just full on military war machine geared and Lex, bless his heart was trying to assimilate. Way to go guys, entertaining.
