@dbehrends-x9c Clark is about to get his 4th star pinned in November to command US Army Central, it's said to be the priority theater now even more than the Middle East apparently. All that business involving China and Taiwan. Nice to hear he was that squared away, Jocko said Clark would often ask his enlisted SEALs for help and that he knew how to reach out to people. Jocko said Clark was one of the best leaders he ever worked for and learned many leadership lessons from him. Mike Sarraille a prior enlisted Recon Marine and then O2 SEAL at the time who would later go to DEVGRU with 10 combat deployments said Clark was one of the best leaders he ever knew in the military, in his top 5. Talk about a good impression.

War is far from Heaven. Naiveite. If that's how you define them doing their job, then every effective unit is "messed up" and rightfully so.

Jocko literally wrote about it in his book and speaks about it on his podcast in great detail, numerous times. They were all devastated and immediately humbled, then learned to hold the conventional forces in the highest respect. They did many daytime presence patrols just to repay the favor back to the grunts, that's infantry work not exactly what you expect of commandos but they did it, and were ambushed and lost yet another Iraqi soldier in one. Jocko outright said it was his fault in front of the Command Master Chief and the Commanding Officer. The now astronaut Jonny Kim who was a ST3 corpsman with Jocko said it was their first gunfight in country, and Jocko must have smartened up because from that point on the communication and coordination with the conventional forces was said to be superb according to not only commanders but enlisted guys who were there from multiple units involved. Jonny Kim almost fragged some ANGLICO Marines too. One of the SEALs was shot in the face by a Marine's 50 cal machine gun fire. Probably would've ended up very different if SSgt. Martinez had told a SEAL officer instead.

Well, it appears that SSgt. Martinez did not have a good experience working with them, so...

You're one badass cook 👌

@1MARAMAR I've heard of Army Ranger cooks seeing more action on deployment than infantry Rangers because of being attached to medical units going out. Funny how things work out sometimes.
