    Fact is, no matter how hard some people try, not everyone has a likeable personality. The best thing to do is keep it professional at all times. The different between SF guys and SEALS, SF guys are a little older, thus making them more mature. When I went through the "Q," back in the late 1990s, by the time someone applied to go SF, they had already been in for a few of years. On the other hand, BUD guys for the most part were new to the Navy.

      This is irrelevant straight up. as an enlisted guy, youre in the navy for bootcamp, buds prep, BO(buds orientation) before you even step foot into day 1 of 1st phase of bud/s. The process works, the teams know what they need. Majority of purely unwanted guys get weeded out before day 1 of bud/s. Then you have bud/s which nowadays which is further under even more of a microscope for *individuals* with technology available nowadays.
      No military Special operations Selection program is perfect but bud/s is the closest it gets to it as humanly possible. a few weasels will ALWAYS find their way through.
      My brother is an active seal. after graduating seal medic school in his 1st platoon, he then had to go to 18D (as all seal medics are required to do), he said he saw the same timid/afraid of whats coming next look in all the other branches there (battallion, SF, etc) that beginning of bud/s students have before the ocean/beach does its work and youre left with a bunch of dudes who just dont give a fuck. He'd rather work with the bottom 25% of team guys than the top 25% from anywhere else - he's been there done it. You will have bad apples in all SOF units and it doesn't come from prior experience it comes from who they are. BUD/S and SQT does a great job of filtering this and these cases are few and far between among active guys.
      O's and enlisted go through bud/s together which creates a different dynamic. The seal teams are more free thinking/spirited by nature. leadership is leadership, your head shed is either great or not great, youre always going to have O's that are hated, senior enlisted etc (and who knows what gallagher really did beforehand leading up to deployment that wasnt really touched on).
      Respect for serving always, this wasnt intended as hate or who's dicks bigger but just had to give some current context as to why none of that means anything

    I think the problem with the SEAL teams is much like the problem probably with 18X is that they come directly off of the streets. No prior Military experience. No prior crappy job in the fleet with no maturity. On top of that the toxicity from the get go in BUD/s. It’s not really taught to be a team even though it’s a team based selection. Just my thoughts.

Eddie Gallagher wrote a book speaking from his side of the story, a reporter wrote a book called Alpha which speaks form the whole platoon sides and also has a lot of research that covers a lot of other issues that were happening. He has a lot of texts, military records, etc. for this book. And the final book is called Code over Country which was written by another reporter that has a lot of research, data, and evidence to support what he is writing.

    Lets do a play by play of this video right quick. First off I know you cant just kick people off your team now because of the manning crisis and I know you are aware of this so stop acting like you would have these dudes kicked to the bteam pronto, takes loads of paperwork and time to accomplish this. Next, stop trying to assimilate to the seal teams, your a green beret and your not even a combat diver so you have zero ground to stand on to even talk about the teams or try to. Next, leading a ODA into war is not anything like leading them into some Joint training exchange in Jordan. As a team sgt or a senior on a team you have zero power now, SGM will tell you whats up , again you cant kick anyone off a team immediately now so stop trying to make yourself relevant to anything that happened to Eddy. Also, slanging a SF prep program in a video designed for clout using a highly visible seal is pitiful. As a green beret i am embarrassed of this video especially using a man that was found innocent in the court of law over a NSW witch hunt. Next, no one cares about your opinion or “your leadership skills” stick to talking about 3rd groups prostitution rings or something green beret related. 👌🏻

    I appreciate your point about Eddie Gallagher and how he should have nipped the situation in the bud. However, there could be other factors at play. Speaking from my experience as an NCO in the Army, I can tell you that you can be undermined by anyone-sometimes even by your own leadership-and often nothing will be done about it.
    Now, I don’t know much about the SEAL culture or how easy it is to request to be moved out of a platoon-whether it's straightforward or more complex. But one thing I do know, whether in the military or the civilian world, is that without the backing of your senior leadership, it’s extremely difficult to get things done, move people out of an organization, or even get rid of people who aren’t the right fit or are causing issues.

I will say this about the E7s and above. Prior to about 2008 the chiefs had a huge amount of influence. It was the chiefs saying to the divo " Sir, everything is accomplished, I am letting non-duty folks go for the day." Something happened to where the influence became non existant. I will say the culture inside the teams is not as mature as an ODA/MARSOC team is.

      @@johnhanley6500 I'll need to see a DD-214 or something. Even then, people who run from accountability tend to gravitate to each other. I'd expect their capacity to have no floor for the sake of the off-chance of possibly getting a dollar to reflect in their "time of service." This is a perfect example of "not every service member is a good human being". The Hodges have excuses for every single reason why they refused to put their all into something and the subsequent failure, cut a corner, or felt something was too difficult so they spent that extra energy finding the "easier route" - even if it means self-deprecating.
      I'm sure when this well runs dry and they still aren't done disgracing themselves, they'll turn to whatever will takeover for the MOPAR community in the future - if they haven't tried gaming already - or "FansOnly". None of those things are anything to be ashamed for pursuing. But they'll choose something else, give the least amount of effort, get their $25.78 in ad revenue, and move onto the next low effort scheme. They already did "relationship gurus", and we know how that ended. Maybe they'll start selling whole life insurance or go half-in on a Ponzi scheme.

    Never special ops, but former 11B platoon sergeant here. During OIF3, I was a Platoon Leader as an E6. Yeah, a PL.
    Based on two decades of Army combat arms service, and dealing with branch transfers during GWOT (Navy, Air Force, Marines) no other service teaches brass tacks leadership better than the Army. The prior USMC especially, were good at individual tasks and tactics, Army-style leadership? Not so much.
    How do you spell “Joint” as in joint operations? A-R-M-Y
    Army teachers leadership BEFORE soldiers become NCO’s and stresses that to be a good leader you must be a good follower first. Understand the leader’s intent.
    I think the Army is the only service that does it that early and to that extent
    Admittedly, I served in regular infantry units, so maybe it’s different in special forces type units.
    But in the regular combat arms, we were trained early as junior NCOs how to deal with (and rehabilitate if possible) toxic subordinates.

I’m not going to rebut your conclusions based on your own experience, which also includes special operations where mine does not. I would say that given the discussion in the video, the Chief makes an observation that I think is relevant to my comment. The junior teammates he had problems with undermining his leadership were new and had not deployed before. Even though they were his subordinates, they were still NCOs right? I get that rank distinctions don’t mean the same in special operations as they do in line units, different culture. But as our Team Sergeant host noted, that sort of behavior is not something he would have encountered among 18 series NCOs on a SF team. I wouldn’t expect that type of thing from 11 series junior NCOs in a regular platoon either.I think there’s a reason for that-the reason being how leadership is taught early in the Army.

However, he was taking more than prescribed by accessing the drugs through the platoon's medical supplies. 2. He was on steroids. 3. He didn't rotate to the front lines and back like everybody else, he stayed forward, which is admirable. Look, he and his behavior and actions were influenced by the aforementioned drugs. In addition, Eddie had several behavior incidents in the SEAL teams and at BUD/S as an Instructor. In fact his OIC during that deployment is the same guy he punched when the guy was a student in 1st Phase in BUD/S. Look, he was a wounded bird. Tactically solid, superior operator. Sociopath.

When you are new your only job is to STFU. If you are in a support role, you are subordinate to the SO’s and will also STFU. Gallagher had a lot of autonomy and not enough oversight. He was killing unarmed bystanders. He was using his position to intimidate younger seals into silence.
    Gallagher has been lucky. He’s had all of the podcasters blindly support him. So it’s only his side of the story that’s gotten out. There is another side to this and it’s very unfair that those kids don’t have a platform to defend themselves.
    This dude abused his position of power. He and his wife flooded the information space and were able to shift public opinion to his side. Then Trump pardoned him and now that’s he’s been pardoned everyone thinks he is guilt free… he’s not.
    I do believe he should have been pardoned. But he should had disappeared into the shadows. This man is a liar and a war criminal that is hiding behind his SEAL status. He is using his trident as a shield to sidestep and deceive the public.
    I do believe his pardon should stand however. If our leadership had known how to win wars him and his team wouldn’t have been put in this predicament to begin with.
    But make no mistake, he is lying to you with every word.
    The guys involved who were on the other side of this debacle should be allowed to defend themselves in public. Only brave podcasters would be willing to give them that chance. If they did get to speak, Galla gets story would fall to pieces and he would be revealed as the liar that he is.
