  • The craziest part is Tilt tells these stories like they were fun adventures, so it’s easy to forget that their missions would break most men, physically and mentally. Truly a testament to his mental strength

    Tilt is an old friend of mine. I have read two of his books. He is a great American Hero and one of the bravest men on the planet. Today he lives a quite life and deserves all the accolades possible. A true American Hero !

    I just played this podcast for my goldfish. He's now a shark!
  • A guy I know who served in Vietnam, "The easiest decision I ever made was to quit smoking." I said, Why? "Well, I lit a cigarette at night and a bullet whizzed past on the wrong side." I said, What do you mean..wrong side? He said, "He thought I was on the other side of the lighter."
  • To think, Joe Rogans suggestion to jocko created one of the greatest podcast ever
  • John Meyer's laugh sounds so sweet and lighthearted you would never imagine that man stacked more bodies for his country than most young men across generations

    There needs to be an SOG movie... This man is a goddamn legend.
  • I had a Vietnam vet tell me a story about how he had to take a dump while on patrol during the day. He leaned his 16 up against a tree and had his pants down while all of a sudden a NVA soldier stumbled upon on him but the NVA soldiers riffle was slung on his shoulder. They stared at each other .. notice how they both wasnt ready to engage because their weapons weren't at the ready. Benard said all of a sudden the NVA soldier gave him a nod and Benard gave him a nod back. The NVA soldier slowly backed up and disappeared in to the jungle. Said it seemed like an eternity. The soldiers name was Benard Biteing from Columbus ohio. Haven't seen him since 1999.

    Two years later and I still like listening to this.

    It's so strange to think that this pleasant gentleman , in his prime, was the most dangerous man in almost any room. Awesome stories of true badassery.

    Jocko has created the best Podcast. His voice and energy and his guest list is all A+!! Jocko Podcast and The Shawn Ryan Show are my 2 favorite.
  • @scottcole1423
    "He made a tactical decision to live"...... That part blew my freaking mind!
  • @minyjackass8421
    The story of the pilot floating in pure calmness under heavy heavy fire is amazing
  • @kacasio1
    I think that Jocko should start reading audiobooks, I would buy an audible version of this book read by Jocko
  • @Camsdad1358
    We live among Giants. So much respect for MACVSOG and our Vietnam Vets. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
  • It's completely mind blowing to me that there are men in this world who can stand these situations.
