He’s totally self-aware, grounded, and zero machismo. No wonder he’s an SEAL outcast. Good for him
It’s disgusting his own brothers would be mad dogging him TAKING FIRE like the fuck is wrong with scandals and secrets and the gaslighting and the “ go out on on our shields” then to disown your veteran that literally ate a frag and really was close of being fatal for America , ffs 🤦🏻♂️
Went to boot camp and BUD/s with him. Stand up guy glad to see he’s doing well
You get through BUDs?
I was going to be SWCC but realized I didn’t want to go
Through all that.
No unfortunately, but it’s all for the best. Looking back on things now that life wasn’t for me but my younger self would’ve been to stubborn to admit it if I had made it through
Dude Montour!! Love you bro!
Great mentality to have man, wish you all the best moving forward.@@joshuamontour7383
Glad to see you doing well, just found your channel been watching/listening. its been very entertaining @@MrBallen
It’s seems like such such a basic thing, but he is so good at giving them both equal eye contact while talking to them.
That's kind of a messed up thing to say though. I didn't find out until later in life. I was autistic. I'm successful in my career. Have a wonderful family and I'm quite well spoken but I don't like eye contact. It sucked so hard when every single sales meeting talked about how I needed to give more eye contact to become sincere. I physically can't bring myself to make more than a second of eye contact without it derailing my thoughts. Now I've learned to look at their hair. It tricks most people. I'm not attacking you but the eye contact thing is a old adage of sincerity that needs to go away
@@mikekristin7201yeah let’s change an old adage or general truth just because there’s a few people out there with the ‘tism that can’t give the same level of eye contact.
@@mikekristin7201don’t get mad at the world because of your handicap
@@MrNatronimo I'm not mad at the world. But that would be like saying someone isn't sincere when they meet you because they didn't shake your hand because they don't have hands. someone's sincerity has nothing to do with meaningless body gestures of any kind.
Edit or a veteran for not standing during the anthem because they are paralyzed
@@mikekristin7201old things going away is why we're in the mess we are facing. So your way of thinking is better than already proving successful outcomes.
He hit the nail on the head when he said "I don't think this is unique to just seals but all military deployment to a combat zone" i was in the Army and was also in Afghanistan in 2013 and i wasn't nervous or really scared up until the first mission I did, but like he said you basically become numb to all of that pretty quickly and he couldn't have said it any better. I remember not even flinching anymore at the mortar alarms (which means there's incoming mortar fire) so much so that sometimes I wouldn't even try to go out to the bunker if i was in my tent. And like out on missions like he said you feel so confident with your team around you.
MrBallen would be a great buddy to a service person with PTSD or someone just coming back from being deployed.
I'm glad there are people like him in this world. Everyone should be grateful.
The greatest story teller of all time. Love this guy's ability to pull you into a story.
Apologize for the second post but obviously this has really frustrated me listening to the long version interview then the small clips from it...NOTICE WITHIN THE FIRST 20 SECONDS How John is making excuses, attempting to minimize his contribution not because do I believe he thinks that but because of the pressure placed on him by the SEAL community and likely the Navy. He mentions having TWO DEPLOYMENTS AS "AS MINIMUM AS YOU CAN GET"...but he LEAVES OUT THE FACT HE WAS ALMOST KILLED... I'm sure most are familiar with Medal of Honor Recipient Marc Lee, a SEAL assigned to TASK UNIT BRUISER, SEAL TEAM 3, JOCKO WILLINK TEAM...Team with Chris Kyle, Johnny Kim, and basically every guy is now a legend..a SEAL icon...Marc Lee only deployed ONE TIME... does anyone minimize his contribution? Does anyone argue against him being approved to receive the MOH? What about Chris Kyle...although he was deployed many times to different places did any of the guys that spewed hate at John disrespect or contact Chris Kyle before he was killed about his book??? I doubt it...Point being, HYPOCRITS...No reason for this man to minimize his contribution to the SEALS or to our country. Those that have betrayed him, turned their backs on him are equivalent to the purple haired, easily offended screaming anti-trumper/anti-conservative groups...these SEALS were offended, got their panties in a wad and made life so miserable on this man and his family once he recovered and didn't die...he was forced to move out of VA Beach. Let that sink in the next time anyone thinks about idolizing the SEAL Community...Consider what they've done to one of their own. Sickening IMO.
I don't idolize anyone in the military cuz I know them personally 😂 3 deployments turned my ex into something else!
Jocko seems like he has the IQ of a gnat but he's massive so I guess that makes him admirable somehow.
That's called compartmentalization. It's a psychological coping mechanisim that essentially shuts off ones normal brain/thought process and only allows focus on that which enhances ones survival. He called it primal and he's correct. In psychology it's jokingly referred to as ones "lizard brain" or "primate brain."
Once a person allows themselves to engage in compartmentalization of any sort, it becomes very easy to rely on that mechanisim rather than to deal with/process what are considered normal life stresses.
This is why people say "He/she came back from _______ a different person." You must become a different person in order to survive something like combat. And you never really return fully to the person that existed before that.
Mr. B Allen: This Marine 0311 appreciates you, and I'd strongpoint Hell with you any day, brother.
Qaàaa@@@@😊😊😊😊😊
It is soo sad how his former friends/seals have treated him, John does not come across as someone who deserves that at all, ah well their loss!
I’d love to have a beer with Mr. Ballen! Friend of mine recently graduated SQT and was assigned to team 3. I hope he’s always safe wherever he deploys to.
That’s got to be some kind of feeling. Knowing this guy is better at your job than you are, PLUS, he’s a Navy Seal. You also have to appreciate how humble he seems to be.
Mr. Ballen making big moves. Lot's of interviews, he's now involved in the War/Bedtime Stories channels,... good luck with whatever is up next. Love those two channels btw. Lot's of work qnd effort put in.
I love how he plays it down because all other Seals whinge that blokes get famous from it. Don’t play it down legend, you served and deployed. Tell as many people as you want to and stuff the haters. Soooo many military blokes make a living out of being former special forces. It is just how it goes. Don’t play it down mate, be very proud of what you did and stuff the haters ok.
Also, great interviews lads.
Jocko did "only" two tours as well. Just saying.
Forreal!!! I though been through 50 tours when you hesr him on his podcast
@@chi2251 two combat tours to Iraq. After that he bacame instructor at NSW.
Guys in the military are always measuring each others dicks. “Oh yeah?! Well I did THREE TOURS!!! SO IM AUTOMATICALLY BETTER THAN YOU!!!”
Stood up Task Force Bruiser to deny the enemy Mosul with a new strategy.
I was in the battle of Ramadi , he was a seal in the battle of Ramadi , believe me it was enough .
This story is many Soldier / Sailor / Marines story. As a young Infantryman, when OIF / OEF first jumped off. I was stuck thinking I would not get deployed. I would miss my war. Miss my chance to do my Job as a Grunt. As 2004 came around I was Notified that we would be deploying to OIF, finally. Thank god. And I’ll tell you. To wrap up a Long story. The first night I got into a HMWV and rolled out into Baghdad. The sights and smells of Iraq. The just utter poverty and chaos from traffic. The reality sets in REAL QUICK. This isnt a Fucking Video Game. And be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
It had to be Panjwa’i or somewhere RC south. When other teams heard we were going to Panjwa’i as SFAT we all started jokingly saying our goodbyes. “It was good knowing you bud”
It’s interesting listening to Mr. B talk about being a SEAL. Seems so colloquial and humble. I have some spec ops buddies and they are WILD!😂
My dude can tell a story. I hope he’s wildly successful in his endeavors.
He is the bard of our times
USMC 2002-2007
I live up the Street from Ben Malluh. 3 deployments, & lost 2 kids after all that.
Only thing I wish is that Mr Ballen had decided to go on another podcast. Literally any other podcast
Why
Such a humble man.
Week 2 of trying to get MrBallen on the Unsubscribe podcast with other awesome veteran youtubers.
Also, happy Thanksgiving to my American brothers and sisters.
Bro. I am only Australian Infantry. I had the same thoughts in Afghan.
Don’t minimize your experiences Mr Ballin
Mr ballen is the best!
Exactly what we need, another navy seal talking about himself.
I’m going to guess officer route / comms guy. In for the minimum, scared to death the entire time, regretted it, got out
You are so cool tho lol hes so humble and he dont want to sound like the bad ass mofo he is
*My squad leader said we had a deployment SEALs would be jealous of, contact everyday, mortars every morning, suicide bombers, IEDs almost daily, RPGs, sniper, small arms, dismounted IEDs, etc.*
-2/4 10th MTN Light Infantry
First time I heard him curse lol
2 is better than Goggins with 0😂😂😂
This guy has Goggins reputation in the SEAL community. They just werent known for any deployments, and right or wrong, thats a career killer in Special Ops. Glad they both were able to find other jobs on the outside, because the uncomfortable truth is that the Teams never really wanted them. It is what it is.
Well to be fair Goggins is a clown with a big mouth, I don’t think this guy deserves the hate though, my opinion.
@@UnityAgainstJewishEvila clown with a big mouth? Lol just because he offended you with his truth doesn’t make him a clown lololol
F youtube and their F'in commercials!!!
I started paying for Premium cuz fuck commercials
ASK HIM ABOUT THE SPANK BANK 😂
In Seal Team Six that’s what they Do is Eliminate Bad People.
I think that was a big mistake for your leader to show and say those things a good leader should never ever install doubt
Please lose the backward ballncap... PLEASE
Why? It’s become part of his brand.
Invite Mr. Ballen to the show again, while he is there- send someone to break into his house take all his boxers and put silk panties 💋 instead.
?
@@michaelthompson1745 okay, put sand in his boxers 🥊
Ew.
Boring
clickbaited.
How so? He’s a seal and a nice man, he’s not going describe how how he tore out an Afghans throat or shot a bunch of folks. Grow up.
