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.

I have talked to combat veterans who have given me props for handling that kind of stuff, but to me, it really seems like "well, what else would I have done other than handled it?" Inversely, for them, I could never imagine combat. Your experiences mean something. Most of you are stronger than you think, and chances are that others will recognize it, even if you don't.

When I was a kid my dad would only hire Vietnam Vets to work on our ranch and I got to work with and know LRRP, a tunnel rat and MARSOC. They gave me a lot of lessons that became of real value to me when I ended up in SO. Our whole command sits directly on the shoulders of these giants, the current backbiting and corruption that's being seen in SO today has to be nipped in the bud before it spreads like a yeast infection.

A most respectful salute to these warriors and the So Vietnamese they served with. Truly awesome stories that help us remember who exactly paved the way for the rest of us. It's one thing to go across the fence and operative covertly. It's a completely other thing to know that many of your brothers-in-arms disappeared forever after going into Laos, Cambodia, or North Vietnam. Amazing to hear about MACV-SOG. Hooyah, Team Jocko.

I've never seen Jocko so giddy in my all my years watching him. This alone shows me Stryker deserves nothing but respect.

John Strykemeyer is an American treasure...

The story when he bought a round of drinks for the helicopter captain guy and asked him about how he stays so cool under so much pressure. And he explains how he only focuses on flying and that if it's his day to die then it's his day to die. That just gives you goosebumps everywhere, that guy sounds like a real hero.

Thank you so much for all you do....you have been blessed and gifted..I don't think you take it for granted. Thanks for your service .. you have encouraged me so much!

I’m so glad I found this episode. I’ve been on a “tilt” binge ever since!

Thank you for your service to both men and all who served.

Was fortunate to have met a man in Illinois whom was SF on a bow hunt and has a book called Bait. How the were basically inserted in to pick a fight or recon depending on orders. Another good read. Your guest tonight was awesome very few men can walk that walk and come home and function and raise a family. Great show keep it up.

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I was close to not watching due to the length but I have raced home from work because I paused half way through last night when I realised how late it was. More exciting than any film, more interesting than any documentary and as thought provoking and full of emotion (mainly fear for me) than anything Ive come across. Thank you for this! Both of you.

What a remarkable person! Amazing. Reminds me of sitting and listening to my Grandpa talking about Korea. First Jocko podcast and I'm blown away.

To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum.

The story about Lynn Black stopping a platoon size ambush by himself, finding out he shot the colonel 10x that day 30 years later, and almost getting taken prisoner...mindblowing. Can't wait for next one. These Vietnam era dudes must've had different cammies to fit their humongous balls.

John and I were in the same SFA chapter for several years. We've spoken on numerous occasions in passing at events and gatherings prior to his book. Some things you don't discuss or ask about. It' wonderful to get to hear his tale and insights. We have so many legendary great American heroes in the chapter of this era. It's humbling, stunning and intriguing to hear this story. Thank you Sir for bringing him to your Podcast. This story is just stunning and had me 100% focused on the edge of my seat, well done!

@Anthony Swiss America didn't take any foreign nationals back with them. Who told you that? Much like with the Kurds in current times, they just left the Montagnards and Hmong standing there with their dicks in their hands. It was bloody shameful. The Vietnamese/Hmong who ended up in America came over of their own accord. They were not given an easy ride, and most of them weren't even accepted into the country.

This guy is cooler than his name....... AND THATS COOL! Great story teller.

Jocko is the greatest interviewer on earth. I bought all of “Tilt’s” books. What an incredible time in history for our US special forces. I can’t even imagine doing this shit!

I remember reading SOG by John Plaster, thinking that there was no way all the stories were real. ST Idaho is amply metioned in that book as well, I cannot for the life of me imagine the size of all SOG guy's balls. I do not think I have ever apart from some WWI and WWII horror stories heard such terrifying comabt accounts. Knowing that your brothers are getting completely wiped and having the courage to go out regardless inspires me more than a thousand Marvel phony superheroes. I do not understand how people can look at superheroes when real flesh and bone men like them walk among us. I can only wish to have a fraction of the courage they had when staring at death in the face.

No disappointments guaranteed. Hope you enjoy the weekend.

This is an invaluable book! Thank you, Jocko for inviting John Stryker Meyer. I enjoy all of them with him, and now SOGCast! Much love to you both! ❤️

Beyond grateful for the sacrifice of men, past and present like this man. The deepest part of my soul aches and yearns at the fact that I never got to nor will ever get to serve my country via the military. Again, thanks to all, past and present who have stepped up to the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. You will not be forgotten.

There was a Vietnam navy seal on the podcast that recalled the Sea Wolf helicopter pilots saying on their loud speakers once " WE ARE THE GODS OF HELL FIRE, AND WE BRING YOU FIRE!" before they fired at the VC positions. Those are some bad motherfuckers lol

That would be amazing. I sincerely want to hear some of these stories told from the eyes of some 16 year old at the time badass. Their bravery and loyalty for their American counterparts is second to none. Wonderful people they were/are and it would be an honor to meet or hear some of the accounts retold by some of those super heros.

I know a guy who was a Marine fighting for south Vietnam. I have also actually met some Viet Cong veterans as well. A friend of mine also knows a man who was a Colonel in the NVA. I think it's interesting to hear from people that were on the other side, as well. Simply because I was a history major. I want to get all the perspectives.

Bad dude . Cool and takes a special someone to do what these guys went through and to talk about it . This dude went through something that we can’t even imagine . Thank u sir ur one bad dude

I could sit for 48 hours solid and not speak unless spoken to by John Striker or Jocko willink you two are such likable guys two men that you can sit hang with have a great time! I will be going in by this book instantly after this podcast and I want to thank both of you men for your service for my freedom! Your guys's stories are captivating and intoxicating have me on the edge of my seat

Man. The amount of times Jacko walks backs up his statements. You can tell he moves from shotting the shit with one of his guys to being so honest in the presence of this man. He walked back his statement on indirect fire. About carrying claymores. And there were others. Two great men right here. Amazing story by Mr. Meyer. Thank you.
