| 0:00.0 | This is the Jocko Underground Podcast number 200 with Echo Charles and me, Jocco 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 long time 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 complete and utter bullshit. In the grand scheme, it doesn't matter. We all have flaws. You you included. But given what's happened in the United |
| 0:37.6 | States with the killing of two citizens, the government responding with pure propaganda, |
