WOW!


I remember his story.

That man is 1 of 1.

Someone like this should be President. Smdh
1 of 1 sure

But there are others just as impressive.


Basically, I was just trying to say both things can be true at the same time and from my personal experience with them, it is.


Like I said, I was friends with a lot of these dudes. Not close friends, I can’t even probably remember their names with the thousands of people I’ve probably met directly, but I remember the experiences and what it felt like.

I never got a sense of… idk, care I guess. I didn’t care, and they didn’t. I worked out all the time, so did they… so even though I wasn’t a SpecOp guy.. we were always in the areas based off interests

The worst is when dumbass cacs think they deserve some extra respect for "protecting our freedoms". Did the Mfer get a check? OK then he got what he deserved, nothing more nothing less. a$$holes be thinking they volunteer firefighters or some shyt

I need to stop complaining when it is cold out and I gotta warm the car up




Jake is one of the good ‘milbro’ influencers. This video just brought to light the obvious. My whole time in he Navy, I can count on one hand the non White commanders. He is not wrong, USMC really is the worst as far as nepotism, old boys club, and flat out racism.

These kids wanting to enlist now have a whole wealth of information. Think I got a t shirt and a bumper sticker

Typically they get into private security , government contracting/advising or if there are a really prominent Team guy, Hollywood.

Nowadays there’s a lane for these guys to get into human performance training that a lot of businesses have become interested in.

Special forces is actually seeing a bit of a decline in the modern military as the focus of the pentagon is on projecting power in the pacific via carrier groups, fighters, bombers, satellites, and maintaining command/control over all forward deployed forces in a degraded environment.
I think we are going the way of the drone just based off of Ukraine.

Spec ops not going nowhere though, just going to be adjustments. As military advances, so do they.

I get what you're saying though, I’m just saying there will still be hybrid branch off groups to do different specialized things if it happens.

Yeah my brother went Marines years before me.

I saw how it was from a distance. One reason why I went Navy. Traveling, different job trainings, more bytches, more minorities.

I was and am still cool with a lot of Marine guys though. It’s not all that bad as people think


And yeah, there is a lack of black officers in the military period. I get my degree later next year if I stay my course… I actually thought about coming back in as reserve Warrant.

Yo i’m just going through the video :mjlol:


We might disagree with the diversity numbers, but I wasn’t around no Marine field nikkas so he probably right:mjlol:




but so far, this cat is spot on. He reminds me of a older, much more animated version of myself with how we talk
