    I was a 20th SOS Green Hornet gunner 70'-72' and I want to thank Tilt for his lauding of our efforts. Always good to hear from a "Ground Studies" team member.

    I've read the book, but seeing John Stryker Meyer's mannerisms, watching his expressions, hearing his inflections, and Jocko's follow on questions make this podcast a true jewel. Well done!
  • Jocko, you struck gold with this warfighter. I love his stories, but I really enjoy his remarkably balanced perspective on enduring these things -- which comes through in his demeanor and presentation. It's great to see him laugh at himself and still understand the sobriety/weight of what he did. Thanks for getting him on these last couple podcasts.

    I’m Cambodian. I can totally see a Cambodian guy coming in with a grenade over a lost poker game lol. I love hearing about the interaction with the natives. Great episode.
  • @mackbach7585
    I’ve enjoyed every single podcast but these last two have been straight 🔥🔥 I could listen to this man for days.
  • The comment section for these podcasts is probably the most civilized part of the entire internet.
  • @nickbode5211
    Meyer is one of the baddest men to ever serve in the US Army, but I love that he looks like a history teacher and laughs like your friend’s dad telling jokes at a party. So unassuming. What a legend!
  • @Mr_White_98_
    I often forget how lucky I am to have never experienced even the slightest fraction of the horrors of war.

    1:14:20 Spider would hang out the window and make a gun run with a CAR-15. I honestly don’t know if I’ve heard of a more badass moment in this podcasts entire history. Except for Dick Thompson jumping into the triple canopy by himself to singlehandedly help the rescue mission.

    My father served two tours with MAC-V-SOG in Viet Nam. He never really spoke about it prior to his passing from lung cancer as a result of exposure to agent orange during his service. I miss him, and respect him for his service.

    Some want to meet the Pope, some want to meet a President. I want to meet "TILT" !!!!!!
  • @brakel8r
    This dude...is just one of those dudes no matter how hard ya try...ya can't become one...if you are..you just are
  • @Tinker.Studio
    I think Jocko's favorite thing in the world are 5 second claymore fuses.
  • @BostonsF1nest
    “I had my first Jocko moment, the good news is we found them, the bad news was they were coming to kill my ass” lmao 😂🤣
  • @JWD26
    I could listen to this man all day long. Thank you for your service sir
  • My grandfather served 3 tours as a volunteer in Vietnam as someone with a heavily redacted DD214. Thank you Jocko and Mr. Meyer for shedding some light on things he may or may not have experienced. I would hope to know if any of these fine men would have known my grandfather.
  • @davidgroves9113
    My grandfather served in Vietnam. It’s crazy to think that he died at 18 shortly after getting over there. He died younger than I am now. Just wild.
  • @donbowman5672
    Who would give this podcast a thumbs down? The man is a living legend. Thanks for have him back Jocko and Echo.
  • @ColKurtzknew
    Tilt's laugh after JW recounts one of his harrowing missions is more a giggle reminiscent of some school kid remembering some prank on a teacher, speaks volumes of this man.
  • @emilyjoe5114
    Can you please get that pilot on the podcast that John Stryker Meyer talked so highly about!
