This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 200 with Echo Charles and me, Jocko Willink. We have been issued questions from you all, the troops in the field, and we are going to try and provide answers if possible, courses of actions to follow, or at least some recommendations of maintaining the path. Yeah. So that's what we got. Sure.

Let's get into it. All right, first question. A longtime listener. I've read all your books. I've supported the underground, and now I have a crisis of faith as to whether you are comp complete and utter bullshit.

In the grand scheme, it doesn't matter. We all have flaws, you included. But given what's happened in the United States with the killing of two citizens, the government responding with pure propaganda, e.g., no right to possess a weapon, domestic terrorists, and your role in promoting and platforming this very government, when do you feel some ownership and step up and address this? Uh, d your response to raiding another country to capture the leader, Venezuela, caused me to end sponsorship of your underground podcast. Your failure to do anything to address this mess will make it clear that you don't represent extreme ownership.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
