But he was a Navy Seal, so whats the issue? He has a right to have his own opinion like anyone else. And he was deployed, so the bust your gun comparison isnt a good one
Not here, but I see it in other places where use that narrative to discredit him

I get that. Do the ones that haven’t bang their chest online about being a Seal? I respect him qualifying and meeting the requirements to the fullest

Most do, their super power is their arrogance.

They are all over the place, Goggins just had a marketing plan in place

Oh, and not every SEAL looks like a stereotypical SEAL. Some stand out but some blend in… a lot are shorter than what you think too. Probably average height/size

I was in a base-wide weightlifting/fitness competition in San Diego and there were SEALs in it. My Devgru buddy won his weight division and I loss mines to a SEAL… by one rep :dead:

I smoked Devgru buddy though and I hardly took a rest break in between so :yeshrug:
What percentage of the US population do you think can make it through hell week? I mean if they started right now ?

From my experience, they didn’t BRAG about it. They honestly rarely even talked about it unless they asked but they’ll let you know and if you’re really good at reading people you can tell.

Arrogant… I wouldn’t call it that.. maybe the young dudes. Proud-ish maybe, but all seemed humble/normal imo. Like, a regular dude outside working on his truck or some shyt… They actually didn’t talk much from what I remember.

My instructor was an a$$hole but a good dude. He would throw shyt at me whenever I fell asleep in his class :mjlol:


Edit: Goggins has a way different and crazier experience than I did though. So if he’s talking about “good ol boy” shyt then I believe him, it’s all over the military

only watched a few minutes of the first vid.. I get where Groggins was coming from. Basically saying SEALS in his platoon/unit or whatever got soft and kinda forgot the edge that made them SEALS
Goggins said he would be tryna do Log pt and shyt :bryan:


I understand it...sounds like he REALLY bought into it..while others In HIS unit took they foot off the gas pedal a little. They graduated BUDS and they felt they shouldn't be doing log pt and certain shyt.

Basically

These nikkas not doing BUDs style PT :mjlol:

Maybe crossfit or some extra shyt



Probably why they quit that ranger school shyt like he said in the vid. They were probably like “I’m not doing this bullshyt again:hhh:


While Goggins is like “Yall are SEALs.. yall are supposed to be down with this kinda shyt :damn:






Imagine going to basic again:dead:

And that’s fine, but he’s doing this under the navy seal brand. And he’s using that as a calling card to his followers. It’s like saying you’re a sniper but you never bust your gun.
I mean did he not pass BUDS and isn't he allowed to wear that Special warfare Pin?
He's a SEAL..whether or not he deployed well :manny:

I can't see how any seal in the past 20 years hasn't deployed at least once. OP Tempo for specwar has been high. .If he wanted to be a real bad ass he would of became a fire controlman and put warheads on foreheads 😏
