    I met him during his book signing tour for "The Rogue Warrior". He actually took a moment to talk with me and was genuine in his interest. He is one great American and our nation needs more leaders like him.

      Meet him twice on book signing. We talked for several minutes about navy time aboard ships. The second time was a few years later I walked up and right away he stuck out his hand and call me by my first name. Remembered everything we talked about on the previous book signing. Had a few more laughs about some BS. Realized he thought like me, no gray area, right or wrong, true or false.

    Richard Marcinko is the epitome of mission driven success. Laser focus, a willingness to accept and correct shortcomings, and the charity to give so that we in America can live free. Richard Marcinko is not why America is great...he is why America is safe. Whether one comprehends or recognizes the magnitude of Marcinko and his progeny matters not to him or those who do what he does. These are the warriors who keep the fight afield and America secure. Disagree with the strategies, despise the tactics, but never disrespect those who will give their all without so much as a momentary pause so that others have the right to speak even in opposition to it all. Ours is a nation founded by sacrifice and Marcinko is the definition of that way.

    For those who think his Book and actions are-were bullshit? I can tell you from first hand, living experience. When he said he was testing the Security at Naval Bases? His Story of penetrating the Pt.Mugu Naval Air Station with Air force one on the ground there? TRUE! 100% TRUE. I was 17 at the time, growing up in Ventura, just North of the Base. When Richard and his Seal Team 6, attacked that Base, and all hell broke loose? OUR COUNTY WENT APE SHIT! We had a Police Scanner back then and it went ape shit. They were talking about an attack and possibly the Russians, etc. That was in fact a True story. Look at the records from Ventura County from that time.

      Strider J​​ he goes on about how much harder the training is... far more psychological than seal training.
      He said it's borderline torture.
      Candidates get absolutely no feed back on their performance, they are subjected to confusing battle scenarios and are basically trained to not crack under torture.
      No sleep over 4 to 5 days and they randomy pick candidates to lead a group of guys in various tasks... what they do is never good enough however.
      They must learn to deal with being poisoned by the enemy...
      The directing staff control how much sleep and food is given to them all.
      That's just selection.

    He called Cuba, a little skirmish. ahahaha
    Over 100 of the attackers were killed, and more than 1,100 were captured.
    [Though many of his military advisors indicated that an amphibious assault on Cuba by a group of lightly armed exiles had little chance for success, Kennedy gave the go-ahead for the attack. On April 17, 1961, around 1,200 exiles, armed with American weapons and using American landing craft, waded ashore at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. The hope was that the exile force would serve as a rallying point for the Cuban citizenry, who would rise up and overthrow Castro's government. The plan immediately fell apart--the landing force met with unexpectedly rapid counterattacks from Castro's military, the tiny Cuban air force sank most of the exiles' supply ships, the United States refrained from providing necessary air support, and the expected uprising never happened.](via: www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-bay-of-pigs-invasion-begins).

      The State Department (without permission) warned the Russians of the attack, and they in turn warned the Cubans. Found this info in the State Department’s own historical records when researching rules of engagement for US operations (early 80s) in Beirut and surrounding Lebanese territory. You would be amazed how many times they compromised US missions/operations/strategies. I quickly discovered that the State Department is notorious for going against presidents, their administrations and directives all the way back into 1800s. Their philosophy is, “presidents come and go, but we still keep our jobs and we know better.” Scary stuff if you ask me. In the military, we always hated those guys, even if they were prior military. I just thought it was because we saw them as political cronies and hacks, but after reading through their own records, other people’s experiences and talking to some other people, that’s when I really realized why we really hated them. We just have never been educated on their transgressions and their effects. Honestly, till this day, I don’t know why I thought going through their records was going to help my research. For some reason, I just wanted to know how much, if any, influence (politically speaking) they have on creating and or implementing rules of engagement, which they do. But I went down that rabbit hole and came back out shocked, confused and disgruntled.

      Sort of like a guy who trolls an American hero but uses a misspelled word instead of his real name as a calling card. On their worst day, the lowliest seal will do more for society than people like you will in a lifetime. I take no pleasure in clarifying how pathetic folks like you are. But it's an honor to reply so that others won't have to.
