JOCKO WILLINK is the literal embodiment of the PHILOSOPHER-KING and the most important intellectual of our generation. Any argument you may have against this statement is fallacious, since you are an inferior man compared to JOCKO, and if you were able to understand and embody a higher moral-behavioral system than him, you would have already done it.
Replace "Start with the Greeks" with "Start with Jocko Willink".

It's hard not to respect his level of discipline. However, it really just comes down to how good he was at buying into something and sublimating himself. He probably would have been a Nazi (but a cool interesting one like Otto Skorzeny).

True but sadly zoomers will pretend we're the bad guys because they were shitting in diapers during 9/11. Mark my words, after Biden pulls out, we're going to have a hot bed of terrorism that will do a second 9/11, and suddenly Jocko won't seem so cucked to bankers anymore

If you worked in FAANG, you'd understand that Extreme Ownership has had a much larger impact on the world than Thus Spoke Zarathustra ever will. It's played a key role in reshaping corporate culture, especially in results-focused tech conglomerates.
The writings of "great philosophers" (=pseuds) like Kant and Nietzsche occupy space in the minds of neurotic incels, frail unimportant academics and unemployed humanities majors.
As far as the role of the US in the Middle East is concerned, you're just uninformed, plain and simple.

We had a mission one deployment where we were going to clear out a training camp near J-bad close to the border of Pakistan. Before we flew in they were doing a lot of bombing runs to soften up the target. The entire company was in the JOC watching the TV screens that showed live feeds from the aircraft. Every time they killed someone the whole room would cheer like we just saw our team score a touchdown.
There was one group of 4 guys that I remember vividly. They heard the 30mm rounds being fired and started to scatter before they hit the ground. 3 of them were killed instantly, but one of them managed to avoid the first salvo. He started to run towards the peak of the mountain. When he reached the top he fell to his knees and started praying before the next burst of 30mm obliterated him. I didn't cheer when he died.
When we were on the target we had to clear through all the bodies and get their DNA and pictures for the database. I was point man while we were clearing through one of the valleys. By this time the bodies had been in the sun for 2 days and they had begun to bloat and rot. I was able to locate them by smell alone. One guy's organs have burst out of the small of his back and bloated as large as his entire torso. I had to roll one guy over to get a picture of his face, and when I grabbed his arm the skin slipped off like a velvet glove.

That's cool. If that's the case, then they would overwhelming ask for autocratic Islamic rule if polled periodically. Just to make sure that's what they want, let's have the people who can make the laws Islamic and authoritarian subject to being voted out every few years. Shouldn't be a problem, if that's what's wanted.
