Why does the conversation start with military infighting and Ranger culture?
Okay, got the red smoke.
Mother! Smoke! Okay, west of the smoke. I'm looking at danger close now. Give it to me. Captain Clear High. Dude, Rangers right now are talking some serious shit online about the SEAL community. Why though? Why
Why do we have to do that to each other? I think it's like uh Well, that's a kind of a measuring contest, right? Is it though? I figured after the GWAT
all we realize so I I'm glad I served prior to nine eleven for a little bit. It gave me a really good insight into what the pre military or pre pre military, pre war military look like and Absent an enemy or a core competency was fighting each other. And I don't even mean the other. Of course we were just lobbing Like in fighting within the teams kind of Oh my God. So all the odd numbered teams are on the West Coast, so one, three, five and now seven. I I wouldn't share information with a dude I went to buds with. He was on the other side of a chain link fan. I could watch him we would park in the same parking lot and hit a stupid code and walk in. We did enough infighting, let alone I'm sure that just the like I said, lobbing just shit grenades into
Other communities. But at this point, man, after twenty years, what what are we doing? It became you know, when I first came in it was the army's green and we're blue and Marines are red. And then they just pour us all into the soup of post nine eleven. And we worked awesome together and we all shared information and we all helped each other and we all got better because of that experience. And now that it's winding down, do we ha do we really have to?
Well you knew I think one of the things 'cause you guys catch a ton of flack for books and Hollywood and everything else. What seals are writing books? What are you even talking about? I have no idea. I have no idea what you're talking about, Andy.
If I saw you buy one at the coffee shop today, I would have just given you one.
No, I d I I want to support, right? Like it's I think it's important. And you know, to that point of like, why do we do that? It's like you guys crushed it at marketing. Right. And I think we're all kinda a little bit like we talk about the quiet professional. Yeah. Which is different than the silent professional. It's different. It's different. And it like, you know, I think everybody, you know, got tired of the the war stories for a little bit and We're kinda at this point. I like at least my internal groups, like I feel like a lot of that's stopping where it's like, Hey, I was this community, you were this community, you tell me a story, I've got to pun up
it. It is the vocal minority, I think, at this point. That it and people keep sending me it's a particular podcast which I can't remember the name of and I and that's not throwing shade at them. I just can't remember it. And they're basically saying, like, oh yeah, you know, well, this objective I was on, the seals fell short, this, that, or the other. I'm like, welcome to the reality of combat operations. Find me a military unit that hasn't stepped all over their crank a few times, and I'll give you my net worth, which is really low sum of money, by the way, so it's not gonna be that much. But I mean You know, they wanna they wanna throw shade On I it was one particular objective. I don't think they named it.
Of course they stayed broad but tried to be specific. And it's like listen guys. Do we really need to go into the Tillman incident and talk about internal issues in our own communities like yes you can point at me. I don't want to point back at you. Let's just all accept that we did the best that we could and as communities which are just comprised of individuals, sometimes you fall short. Hopefully you can
learn from that. But what are we doing? Well I think uh humanity in general, especially at this time period, uh is not the best at self reflection, right? And being like the plank in that oh I before I start Talking poo poo about somebody else.
Yeah. It
does trend though. And the silent majority on or silent minority online, like it is the loudest um across the board.
