#156 Chris Fettes - A SEAL Team 6 Sniper’s Worst Nightmare

That morphing back into yourself, I think what I've learned is that the consequences of doing that are going to make people mad and angry. Because you now, it's almost seen as a false betrayal in my opinion. Like you're betraying the code. Mm-hmm.

And I've moved past this, so I don't dwell on it too much anymore, but it used to bother me a lot because I really think that that dark, dark side of this brotherhood, which is a beautiful thing, but also has this, is connected to the veteran suicide problem. Because I... Maybe we'll get into this, but I remember the thoughts, the very specific thoughts that I was having in my moment, right?

And going... it's a lot simpler than I think that we really think. The actual specific thoughts that are going through our head at that moment. And whatever the buildup was to get to that moment, it's different for everybody. We have different addictions. We have different coping mechanisms for what we feel. But what I know is that for most of us, there's no betrayal going on. Mm-hmm.

most of us who are doing our lives especially the guys that figure this out and turn and make a decision the right path right and don't don't give up um are doing it respectfully not disrespectfully the programming we get in the code is that once you're done living your life by that code

you can't, I couldn't conceive that any SEAL or guys in a unit could then go out in the world and live their life by any other code but that. And then we sort of connect it to integrity or like whatever the words might be, but That code, it has to be that way for it to work, right?

But it's like a little bubble of a reality in this whole world of infinite reality and the paths you can go on and the things you can do. And that little bubble of reality is also part of the whole overarching story. So how do you tell if you want to? And then there's the judgment of that in the first place. Well, why does he have to tell? I know why.

I've done a lot of work to figure out why I need to do anything. And not enough time to explain to every single person still within that code on why. And it might be a waste of time because they won't understand. Right? Some of them might, but... That's what it is in my opinion. And I think about the solutions towards that, and it's really, solutions are more conceptual to me.

It's just finding some way, which is happening actually, so I'm very grateful, where no change happens until a leader can validate that the change is acceptable, right? So some guy, some captain, whatever, until they decide,
