    I like Andy the most out of all the other SEALs since he’s so humble about his job. He doesn’t glorify his job and just acknowledges it as simply as a job like any other. There’s no sense of entitlement and betterment because he was a SEAL. He’s incredibly humble despite being so highly achieved, he did BUDS straight out of high school and screened for Green Team and joined DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6) at age 23 . Green Team screening and BUDS is difficult, but Andy just lays down the truth.

      @@devdecker7812 It's *BECAUSE* we have a sense of brotherhood that we shit on eachother. We don't call Airman Chairman, or Marines Crayon eating r*tards, because we don't like them or hate them. Rather, it's because everyone who has been in KNOWS what it's like. Knows the pains. Knows the victories. Knows that feeling when you get your EGA or your Cap, and you finally leave behind the recruit, and become the Marine or Sailor that you set out to. You give eachother shit because you earned the right to. But you bet your ass that if anyone who hasn't gives a fellow serviceman or Vet shit, all the others will come to their defense immediately.
      I'm not sure if this following example will be PC or not, but I also don't Care: it's similar to how Black people can call eachother the N-word, or even just say that word. They can say it because they earned the right to say it. Because the suffering of their ancestors, and because they took a word that was meant to demoralize them, tear them down, and break them, and they turned it into a term of endearment. It truly is their word. They own it, in a sense.
      Same principle in a sense, for Vets/Serviceman. I can call my Marine buddies Crayon eaters, and they can call me a Semen slurper, because we all went through the shit and we use those insults as terms of endearment. Make sense?

Thats not the big picture of the us military there are a lot of people that join for different purposes but the militarys goal is usually to protect good people and kill bad people and stand up for those who can't defend themselves.

The Army is gonna attract psychos also. 1 in 100 people in the world are sociopaths, so of course the army has that also. I've met guys in the British army through my brother who were cunts frankly, but that's in a lot of walks of life. It's just in soldiering they get access to kiling and dominating people. The people in the army or special forces UK or USA are no different to us all.

      @Judas Iscariot I wouldn't say it only works for handling high stress situations; it could work for things like working out as well, where instead of focusing on the end goal and be discouraged because you don't see massive leaps in progress, you keep your world small and focus on small goals on the way. And that's just one example.

    • @scratchpenny
      @scratchpenny Před 4 lety +4

      @Judas Iscariot I don't think this philosophy hinders agency at all. I took it to mean that you keep your world small by only focusing on the the immediate things you can control -- i.e., execute in the present moment. There is still a time to plan for the future, and a time to evaluate the past, but you should remain present when it's time to execute. The problem is that many of us spend way too much time focusing on the past/future (past failures, future dreams, etc.), and not enough time on the present moment. Most of our lives are made up of small tasks, daily challenges, and minor obstacles, that when added up over the course of a lifetime determine who we will become. How much better would our lives be if we always gave 100% with the task at hand? I think that when one is able to focus fully on the immediate small step, we feel less stress, which makes the next step more possible, and allows us to turn a bunch of small steps into great achievement.

    The "we over me" discussion is really interesting to me in this. I suffer from pretty severe depression/suicidality that's rooted in me hating myself, being my own worst critic, being too much of a perfectionist sometimes, etc. I was recently sent home from work on paid time off due to a ton of mental stress I was applying to myself preparing for an intense workweek coming up for me. They were looking out for my safety because of my history of suicidal ideation. When my work told me I had to take paid time off from work, my response was "What about the rest of my team? They're going to need my help next week..." etc. I'm very quick to want to help everyone around me, but never want to help myself when I'm in a serious mental war with myself.
    It's just fascinating to me that the concept of "we over me" is something drilled into Navy SEALs in training pretty much as a pass/fail filter, while in my case I've lived that mentality for most of my life naturally, and it has actually led to me nearly committing suicide multiple times because I really don't care for myself at all, and only for those around me.

      Tempesta Solarum I know you are on a mission to feel smart right now. But psychopaths usually have absolutely zero conscience where sociopaths have a rather small one and can form a small circle of relationships relevant to them whereas psychopaths don’t without something to gain. 25% of ceos are psychopaths. Show me that data please. And you are right about sociopaths being more prone to impulsive harm but sociopaths are still lower on that spectrum when it comes to degree of violent acts for a reason.

It is very weird to be looked at as a better person than others just because I served.
