And it wasn't because Saddam had mass weapons of mass destruction and it wasn't because they were going to come over here and kill our families. Like what was the real cause of that?
Okay.
Did you start stress sweating right away?
Well, bro, this goes back to what you were saying. Do you think the government really knows? Was the whole thing just incompetence? Like someone said Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, so we got to go find him.
Especially like the specialist. How dark is that? We both have friends that died there. I know. And they reversed engineered a reason to send us and our buddies there. Like people should be strung up for that. If we're being honest, right? That's treasonous activity. Yeah. And when you talk to most veterans, they have arrived at that same conclusion. That's shocking.
And you got to shoot people with javelins. No, this is what I say about it because I agree exactly.
On boots on the ground level, who was fighting who? We were young American soldiers and sailors. There's some sailors there. We're fighting who? Radical jihadists. Mm-hmm. They were there because they hated us. We were there for whatever reason we were there. But in the foundation of what was taking place on the streets, it was just young men trying to kill each other. And you want to know what?
If you were to sanction a city right now, somewhere in the world, and be like, hey... You can fly here. We're going to issue you body armor and a rifle. We're going to have an A team and a B team. We're going to start at opposite ends of the city and you guys can kill each other. I bet it would be fucking sold out. are we going to monetize this? Do we have ads?
But the thing is, it's like violence calls to young men. And you know, like when I lived in Los Angeles, when I was a deputy down there, I saw this, like, it was funny seeing the gang behavior, man, you can make direct correlations to the shit you and I did.
Except my gang was just sanctioned by the US government. So it's all good. No problems there, right? But young wild kids want to go do hard shit, want to go inflict violence on other people and are drawn to that. And we were drawn to that for whatever reason, that's been inside of men since the beginning of time.
And so like boots on the ground, the guys that were killing each other in the streets of Ramadi, I think we're almost just looking for an excuse to go over there and do that. And so I can't say like, oh yeah, I took part in that. And now 20 years later, I regret it because I got lied to.
It's like, no, dude, I put myself in every position I could to be where I was at when those things were taking place. And like, it just is what it is. And why can, like, who cares if some things come to light 20 years later that like, oh, well, you know, we got lied to about this or this wasn't actually factual. You can't fucking cry about that stuff. It is what it is.
Plus it also fucking built you into who you are today. So I always say on my show, like the government may have lied to us and turned us into these savages. And one day that'll probably be the demise of the government. So there's irony in it too. I'm not a savage. I'm very sophisticated. I don't know. Your guard's pretty savage to take it back to jujitsu. One day you can pass it if you want.
I'll let you pass next time and tell you it was all you. Uh, maybe I'll just play guard and see how your passing is. I'm sick of, I'm sick of dealing with here's the, you want to know why I'm sick of your guard? No, just enjoy it. Cause it, if, if you were to watch it, there's, it's not a, it doesn't feel like a sophisticated, it's not sophisticated.
It's a very, it's a very simple approach, but you always maintain the right grips. You always create the right angles. And it goes back to what we said at the beginning. It's like, it's simple jujitsu, but it's highly effective.
And it was funny because you're like, that would have been a really boring round to watch, but it was fun. We were working our fucking ass off. There's a lot of shit going on. Yeah.
No, and I don't even think I got to it because we got sidetracked. But when people will write me and be like, dude, how's Andy's jujitsu? Because they don't want to believe that your jujitsu in five years should be... It's trash. Competitive with people that have been training for two decades.
Well, if anyone out there listening wants to test Andy's jujitsu... Come out, let me know how it works out for you.
The people that call your belt a celebrity belt probably haven't said that on the mats, right? That's a DM thing. Oh, I've never had it said on the mats, yeah. Yeah.
As long as it's effective, it's working.
