I’m a Desert Storm and Vietnam Era veteran. I deliberately and successfully discouraged my son from joining the military after 9/11 with the start up of the Iraq War! I’ve lost friendships because I spoke out on the idiocy of THAT war!
Thank you
🙏 Much Love Brother ! 😡 Jesuit Banker Wars 🤮
Wow how old were you in the Vietnam war when you went? You had to have been extremely young b/c my dad did 2 tours in Desert storm and he's 70 now...
@@1mochadelightable see how ppl say anything on the internet,,
@@1mochadelightable I was a Vietnam ERA vet. My PEBD was May 4, 1974. The war ended Spring 1975. To be clear, I did NOT go to Vietnam but I’m considered a Vietnam ERA veteran. My reserve unit was activated November 1990 for Desert Storm.
As a vet of both the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, I can say that this man told NO LIES.
Thank u for your service boss 🔥🙏
@@bryanvilleda4800 thank you for the acknowledgment 🇺🇸
It's so sad that I try to convey this exact message, and most people give me the deer in the headlights stare. I'm a US Army Combat Veteran of both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. I joined the Army right after 9/11, thinking I was going to defend and obtain the necessary revenge. Fast forward, we were lied to and feel it was all for a different agenda. No one can bring back my battle buddies that paid the ultimate sacrifice. Nothing will erase the nightmares and PTSD. I'm glad to see a fellow combat veteran at such a high level, give the truth. God bless you, Robert O'Neil. Godspeed to you and @KARS 215 for your service.
He wither lied or didnt know that the Taliban offered to turn Binladin over, they asked for any evidence that the usa had on him, to show them & they would hand him over.
Thanks for your service!
“It’s a shame people died because they got bored.”
Truest words spoken concerning war.
It’s really more for the benefit of war profiteering
Thats the one
not even boredom, just straight up greed. All those people in power, politicians, defense contractors, weapons manufacturers, etc make bank off of war 💰
He’s misinformed. The Def Dept was asked to provide force on the Pak side of Tora Bora and Rumsfeld refused that how Bin Laden escaped the Jaw breaker and No. Alliance team. We went to Iraq because of Cheney, Wolfawitz, Pearl and Dave Wormser. They were talking Iraq on 9/12. It was also a way to attempt Iran to fold. Iran was shook when we went into Afghanistan and was copping pleas that the Bush admin didn’t want to hear because they felt Iraq would fall into our sphere of influence in a matter of months.
It wasn't for nothing
The US peasants and soldiers enriched the US barons to the tune of trillions
They thank you for your service
Props to ALL the veterans who know the truth about what happened to us and our lost friends
Thank you, Rob, for speaking the damnable truth. As a former Marine who used to believe in my civilian leadership, I really feel like an idiot for what I bought into as a young man. They know how to motivate young men to fight, and we are good at it. But, we are easily manipulated by these evil men who know our psychology.
Absolutely and thats why that song by bob dylan masters of war is still so relevant. War is started by old men with dead souls
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for *capitalism* “
-Smedley Butler, War is a Racket, 1935.
Truth!
2x Medal of Honor recipient and overall USMC legend, too!
release you can admit it.
LIVING BEING IS OUR RACE, MANKIND IS OUR RELIGION, HINDU,MUSLIM,SIKH,CHRISTAIN, THERE IS NO SEPARATE RELIGION
ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
.. In OLD Orthodox Jewish Bible KABIR is mentioned...KABIR means (GREAT or MIGHTY GOD) in hebrew...but when translated in different languages translator removed KABIR word..
Okay...
Glad to see Joe expanding. As a hip hop head and an 0321 recon Marine, I’m glad to see these two communities come together and realize what’s going on in the world. Love your country, doesn’t mean love your government. Divide and conquer, and we are falling for it. Wake up. Semper Fi.

That's exactly what it men's your paid to follow the orders and interest of old white men sitting around a table with big fucking doors for some reason
Please have more vets on this show exposing what most non military citizens don't know
Pretty sure the only people that don't know how terrible the militqry is are the ones niave enough to join.

@@anceratliff2230 you could argue contractors do a better job for less.
I quit High School and joined the Navy at 17, 7/71. Vietnam, twice. Discharged 2 months after Saigon fell. My first born is a Son. I held him in my arms as an infant and spoke to him, “ You will never join the Military”. He, growing up, I said this to him over and over. Behind my back he joined the Marines. Grunt Infantry, Iraq and Afghanistan. Today he’s 39 and understands. He did teach me the power of influence a Father has, none. We’ve created a monster, and it needs to be fed. This will never end……..Vietnam Vet USN
As a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom who served at Abu Ghraib and testified AGAINST the soldiers found guilty of prisoner abuse it’s a relief to see there are other veterans who aren’t brainwashed.
For sure
I did 11 years
3 tours lost friends for nothing
It’s crazy how time flys
Damn.
Damn……11 years and only 3 tours….damn….lmao
@@ik5852 3 tours is it once you've done 3 tours you're out.
So why were you dumb enough to be in for 11 years?
Not for nothing , you made possible for a lot of goverment official to make a ton of money. And now 2022 , war with russia is heating up. Will the millitary do the same mistake.

I saw Joe at the airport in 2014 and I was traveling in uniform.
Being sleep deprived at the time, I stopped and did a triple take because I thought I saw Joe Budden 😂 him and his partner look up and go “what’s up?” And I was like “oh man I’m sorry you just look exactly like Joe Budden”.
They played with me for a second and was like “nah Idk who that is” 😂 and before I could walk away I heard “naw I’m just playing man you want a picture? “
I definitely felt a bit star struck as I’d never ran into too many celebs, but it was a really cool moment and he thanked me for my service 🤙
awesome
Cap cuz he didn't bum a newport

Waking up? .....what about ukraine WHY IS the usa putting a gun on the head of NATO countries to obey...and usa supply this war to continue smh they started it....yet people who don't even know where ukrsine is they scream wepray etc....
@@sir2657 Well man...the very fact that this issues are being discussed is a big deal. Military Industrial Complex did not appear yesterday and it is going to take a very long time to try to bring it under control. If ever. No objection to Ukraine argument. The media plays a big role in this. But mostly it is politicians. For the most part the USA fights it's numerous wars not to win them, but to make money for some people. Sad but true.
I'd say he's up there with Chris Kyle as far as being a celebrated Seal! Being that he's the man that killed Osama!

i'm so grateful for the "Podcast Era" for voices to be heard and emotions to be seen and felt.
the world "mind" is in a very weird place and for podcasts to be a thing for people "thoughts" to be jotted down and understood is one more step to understanding what needs to be done to flourish and find some sort of love.
When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s I thought joining the military was the most honorable action a man could ever do. All my uncles, both my grandfathers and my father were all vets. I knew that I was going to join as soon as I was old enough. I graduated and married my high-school sweetheart. I then went to the recruiter and low and behold it was a close family friend. He talked me out of joining. It was the such a good decision. I thank God that man was there and not someone who didn't care. Our government and military are now a joke. I respect our vets but hate what the government has become and what it does to them. I ended generations of military service for my family and my own sons will not join either because we haven't been involved in a just war in a long time.
This does not demean men who joined and fought for our country. But it’s sad if they are used for some politician’s or businessman’s profit. Typical USA greed
Very similar story here. As I neared the end of high school in the late 80's, I was thinking of joining the military or applying to one of the military academies. My dad, who was an Army officer during the Vietnam era, told me "Son, politicians have a knack for killing young Americans". I am so glad that I made different life choices, because things are just not the same as when my dad and uncle served during the Vietnam era, or when my grandfathers and great uncles served during WWII. I still hold the individual solider, sailor, or airman who tries to serve their country in a place of highest honor; but also recognize the reality that our government and military/industrial complex are simply exploiting those patriots for their own selfish ends.
The US Govt has always been a joke and none of the wars we've been in were necessary.
Yes, well, here's the real truth: We get the government we deserve. Paraphrasing the Founders, a republic like ours can only work if there is an educated, engaged and virtuous citizenry. I'm not sure we've had that in 200-years. Perhaps the Union during the the Civil War. When grown men are more concerned with, and know more about, the next NFL Draft than the next election, never mind the philosophical underpinnings of the United States of America, this is what you get.
And your "just war"--all of you too wise to have served and that have convinced you sons of the same--may well be sooner than you think. I'm an ex-Force Recon guy. If what I recently saw on MCRD San Diego, at a young cousin's graduation, is any indication--we're in big trouble. There's this metastasizing monstrosity called the "People's Republic of China." Either we pull our heads out, and fast, or all of your too-cool-for-school kids will die as slaves.

@@Harold10ful y’all need to learn something, other than dumb azz beats
Same here. Wasnt expecting this guest
I'm floored....I mean I knew all this but to hear it so bluntly AGAIN....smh
Let’s go Joe 💯💯💯
One of my closest friends, all the way back to preschool, was a BUDS 202 grad. He knows Rob, and also knew of lot of the souls lost on Extortion 17. I feel so bad for these guys always wanting to do the right thing, yet still being the pawns of sociopaths and maniacs hell bent on power, money, ego-stroking, and political gain. Makes me fucking sick.
The leader of the shit show is Gen Milley. I was in the Navy for 8, and got out (it had seemed like nothing but a mind control operation, who allows themselves to climb the greasy pole of mind conditioning for profit). Then I went back in to the Army (long story), and saw all the machinations of the cannibals using the military for their strong arm tactics in the drug and human trafficking trade. It's about blood and drugs.
My entire family was military from WW2 through Vietnam. When I graduated from high school in the mid 80's and mentioned joining up my entire family, Father, Uncles, cousins, came down on me like a ton of bricks and said "no way!" They knew better through experience.
That is what happened to me. Most influential was my godfather, who was a ww2 vet and fought with Patton. He told me the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were not just wars. With what other military members of my family said, that cinched it. No military for me, even though I wanted to be a Marine since I was 6 years old.
My dad said the same thing to me. Wouldn’t let me.
As a USMC vet i'll confirm he's telling the truth.
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. “
-Smedley Butler, War is a Racket, 1935
These same capitalists will pay Fox News billions to try to convince Americans the solution to this issue is more capitalism. Wake up y’all.
Then dear why you people kill the innocent people of gulf after knowing all this.. you may also be knowing better that all terrorist grps like isis and all are created and are fueled by US govt and israelis(zionists) the terrorists..but
You people do not raise your voice only due to capitalist mentality of yuor govt? Is this humanity anyway? And if someone whose family is lost due to you people tomorrow if he takes some action against your govt then you call them terrorists? Is this what you are taught at you defence acadamy. Remember sooner or later you all will be seen as merciless butchers not galants or veterans. There will come a day when your own generation will spit on your face. Better you all shall come to conciousness.. you all are defaming our beloved prophet Isa a.s. and his teachings.. prophet Mohammad came later but prophet Isa came before him to reveal the words of God and you all maniputated tampered the book now having a big chunk of versions shame on you and your govts..you are slaves of israel(zionists ) and you do not realize it what a pity.. i am not rebuking but asking you to contemplate see your life fir what you are in this world and for whose happiness you lived? Your children who you are serving not the soups but blood of innocent people? Stop this not for our sake but fir the sake of your benevolent progeny(if you want them to be good). Or else kill us but remember oneday even you will die..
Thank you for your service.
When will the Marines overthrow our ZOG government and prosecute mercenaries like Eyepatch McCain?
Yes sir
I was in the Marines from 98 to 06.
Everything he's saying it's true or at least that's how the veterans see it.

-Smedley Butler, War is a Racket, 1935
The issue is capitalism. Don’t let the billionaire funded news networks fool you into believing the answer is more capitalism. It always devolves into this. Corporations get big, and buy out the government. People say communism has never worked, well, neither has capitalism
Thank you. I’ve been saying this for years. War today is about money. Ask JFK about that one.
I'd take what he says with a grain of salt. The relatively worthless crap we left in Afghanistan wasn't left so we could make more.
It was obvious that Iraq was not necessary even before it happened.
@@Gr8thxAlot M249 SAWs, NVGs, and Apaches aren't "worthless". If you're an American tax payer they just stole from you on purpose and gave no explanation and had no plan. This should concern everyone. The afghanis now have night capability... Russia barely has night capability with their Spetsnaz units, and we just gave terrorists the night... Are you that dumb?
@@GunsArentIllegal why thank him for his services when it is all just about some sobs rich while he and his buddies are bleeding on the streets of Baghdad?
I've never been to Afghanistan but I've been to Iraq twice, once as an airman the second time as a civilian and he didn't tell one damn lie. And yes my time as a defense contractor was lucrative but it is criminal how much money they pump into fueling the war machine
Well they keep doin it because people are greedy and keep signing up to do their bullahit

@@danielbrown9368 oh yeah, folks always hollering about where all this federal money goes and it's right there in front of their damn face

I was in Iraq in 04, my only deployment… your words resonate with me so much… it is only with age and wisdom that i am able to see through the thick fog of bullsh!t and lies that we’re sold to us… i really thought i was the tip of the spear, bringing democracy and freedom to people who not just wanted us, but needed us and our protection… what fools we were…
The media was full of propaganda. If you were against the war they told you you weren’t real Americans. Didn’t care about 9/11. It was crazy and I’m Canadian but border means nothing to me I cried and was absolutely devastated about all 4 planes and the amount of deaths. I noticed so many people saying why do they (BinLaden but basically any place or person who was Muslim was thrown in) so I started reading on the history, then the wars and was sick Bush & Cheney got away with it. Damn, even Cheney bought himself a new heart. He was over the age by many years. I’m Canadian and we said no to going to Iraq. All of a sudden we weren’t listed as “friends” anymore when others were listed, lol. I’m glad they’re having such a problem recruiting but hey, they’ll just draft people. I hope you are ok. Mentally and physically. I was in a private hospital for ptsd, live in for 2 months and got to know and hear stories so horrifying and I know I only felt 0.0000000001% of what they re-living. Now that you know, tell it to everybody. You did what they made you think was right. And lied. And lied, and….
I'm so glad to FINALLY hear a SEAL speak about the truth.
Thank you, brother, for speaking out.
as a veteran of the Iraq war who went over with the surge in 2007, i believe this man is spot on about Iraq. such a huge hole in my heart knowing that not only my comrades died for absolutely nothing but the areas we believed we were helping were abandoned and the civilians we met and helped were probably killed when ISIS filled the void when we left.
Pretty sure ISIS was the paramilitary arm of a US / Israeli force created to crush and brutalize any remnants of the former Baath party. I always wondered why and how they could steal our equipment and move around unchallenged, until I realized who they were killing them it all made sense.
The US had no business being in Iraq. I always thought it was about Bush trying to one up his father or about Cheney making money for his former company, Halliburton. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction. Total BS. How many lives were lost or destroyed and how much money was wasted because we had idiots in charge.
At the time speaking out about the war was considered unpatriotic and would be met with anger by idiot warmongers. I'm sorry for everyone who served there and have physical or psychological wounds. I highly recommend the documentary , "Body of War" about a seriously wounded Iraq war veteran. It's on youtube last time I looked and it is sad.
I wish all vets the best.
I knew this BS in early 2002 and quit defense contracting to be a grad student. I tried to get the word out but everyone just told said, “you don’t support the troops.” My reply was, “I respect the troops too much to let this happen.” Then they usually accused me of disrespecting the troops by not supporting their effort. I tried, but sorry I failed people like you.
It still leaves me pitted today. Oh well, Slava Ukraine or you’re a Putin puppet.
We never should've gone there in the first place. After our Ambassador dishonestly gave our ally Saddam the green light to teach those slant drilling lying ( babies from incubators ) Kuwaitis a lesson we shouldn't have cared. The oil is going on the world market...who cares? Kuwait was created artificially by the UK...on the map it looks like it should belong to Iraq or Saudi Arabia...my pick would be Iraq...ISIS? Saddam was an enemy of the Wahhabi wackos. Probably why Saudi Intelligence supplied the patsies for 9-11..
I say the same thing about Ukraine our gov. is one of the most crooked in the world. There is more going on then we are told and our tax dollars is paying for it while our people especially Veterans that fought for us are homeless and starving. Our so called leaders are the problem and they need to be delt with.
As a black navy vet it feels great to see you speak to another side of me for once 😂
I was in 2011-2017. We went for Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed executives to make billions of dollars while we came back in caskets.
President Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex 60 years ago on his way out of office. Things have only gotten worse.
Thank you, sir, for your service. Every U. S. war after WW2 has been a political/financial war.
WW1 and WW2, both sides were financed by J.P.Morgan too. The info is out there, but you have to scour the internet for it.
As a retired military vet I can say this man is speaking facts
It doesn't take being a vet to look at this in hindsight
Him cracking up at his own Dick Cheney joke instantly made me laugh 😅
Honestly this is the kind of content we need. See the truth behind a war that was not needed
THIS IS THE ONLY MAN THAT HAS SPOKEN A FULL INTERVIEW OF COMPLETE TRUTH. NOT ONE LIE OR EVEN A HALF-TRUTH CAME FROM HIS LIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most honest and truthful interview on the whole planet I've seen in years!!!!! Period!!!
I wanted to join the Marines so damn bad when I was a teen. My Korean War veteran grandfather talked me out of it when I was 18. By this point growing up where I grew up I had seen more than my share of violence and figured I could handle war. By the time I was 20 I had educated myself and sounded like this man Rob O’Neil. I don’t mind fighting a war, losing friends or dying fighting. I just won’t do it for a dumb reason.
Props to Joe for having this legend on his show. You and Shawn Ryan should do a crossover podcast.

So I served in the army for 7 years. Went to Afghanistan in 2012 and since have had a hard time not feeling like there is so much bullshit in it all disguised as patriotism. And any difference of opinion is viewed as un-American. Now I have my own radio show in the Carolina's and Ive been debating sharing my opinion. But I dont think I'm debating anymore

We were brainwashed into a false sense of patriotism and support for the same ones suppressing and poisoning us. Crazy.

@@edhooper1421 oh snap Ed spitting fax
I think that’s the truth about most things, we join stuff based on our passion or interest but only after experienced we understand the environment and the rules around it. Who gets to take advantage who does not
I spent 8 years in the 82nd 1st/504th. I was in Columbus GA in reception at Benning about 5 weeks after I graduated high school. Deployed plenty of times during OIF and OEF. That being said while I whole heartedly believe that my friends died for absolutely nothing. Full stop. Granted it made me who I am today and certainly by 2012 I had experienced a wide array of things most people in this country only experience through video games and movies. But at the end of the day the 1% got wealthier and men who on their worst day were the types of individuals that only the 1% could dream of being, never came home. No one wins. I can identify with what Rob says about thinking that we’re always the good guys and doing the right thing, if anything 04-12 opened my eyes at a relatively young age to how immense wealth can at times create exponentially more evil individuals with malicious intent than any militant religious group.
This is the interview I didn’t know I needed from Joe. Please, more of these! Outstanding job! 👊🏻
I’m so happy that Joe B is branching out beyond music and entertainment - he has a great interview style that makes it easy for people to talk and he manages to ask interesting questions. I can see him on 60 minutes! I also think he would make some good documentaries.
Way to go Joe, keep the interesting content coming!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Sorry but Joe B is about as interesting an interviewer as my left foot. I just found out about him today and he is so boring and barely engaging or eliciting anything compelling from this interview. Ron Oneal is offering everything with no coaxing.
@@sangeli1901
That’s because Rob is on autopilot. Rob has sold his narrative and his personae so what you are seeing here is a man that is so used to self promotion he fails to make his story as engaging as it used to be.
Joe B comes at things from a different angle - one of suspicion and curiosity.
@@user-user-user-user. 🤣🤣 Joe B is BORING and sucks as an interviewer!
Definitely wasn't expecting this but dope video. Hopefully the full interview will be out soon. Joe really moving away from talking about music for real. Miss the pod tho fam...
Wish Joe asked more pointed follow up questions, or any follow ups at all... Rob said so much incredibly interesting stuff that could have really been expanded on and explained
Rob is one of those rare American veterans who has the necessary moral courage and insight to call out, in a very public forum, our recent misguided, pointless military misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan. Much respect from this viewer.
This is for the young kids growing up that don’t know the behind the scenes the same way there’s shady stuff in the music business that older rappers try to warn y’all about it’s the same in every industry nothing is made for the ppl that do all the work to benefit properly
TRULY SURPRISED, Joe. Venturing out of your norm. Absolutely love it, keep going 💯
Thanks for interview my fellow military war Veteran. Our stories need to be told! 💥👏🏾
Worked for Navy Seal who was in early in Vietnam. He had the utmost disdain for our government afterward having seen what the did to not only the Vietnamese on both sides, but what they did to our own people.
My grandfather fought and was wounded in WWII. My uncle fought and was wounded in Korea.
Joined the Navy... 3/64 to 3/68. I was already in when the Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred.
I did a total of 25 months in Vietnam. Three purple hearts. I was there one or two months when I realized we were there for no logically articulable reason. I did not re up even though my three purple hearts would have kept me out of combat in the future.
As corpsman I was outside every night and I got a lot of combat experience... its habituation and the learned ability to think clearly and execute with purpose while in combat. That lesson has served me well throughout life.
Since I was good at it and the reasons for the war I was in were bullshit I decided to put my skills to use elsewhere. Contracted for 12 and made enough for college and law school. Plunder was acceptable back then.
I have five sons and too many grandsons to count... but I have discouraged all of them from military service... not smart to die for somebody else's profit or political gain. But if we ever had to defend the homeland we would all be there.
The last war we actually needed to fight was WWII and maybe Korea. After 9/11 we should have done a series of punitive air strikes against Afghanistan and kept it up until they turned Bin Ladin over. Never should have gone into Iraq... Hussein was a violent tyrant, but as we have learned that's what it takes to keep those folks in check! And... don't we wish we could use Hussein as a proxy against Iran nowadays!
Joe out here taking things to another level time and time again. Salute on the journey and continued success 🦾
When JB pointed out the parallel between military contracts and record contracts I felt that. 🤣
Thank you everyone for your service. You are appreciated
I was so not expecting this view. So much respect
"War is a Racket" is marine general, Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price.
This man is spitting the truth! Semper Fi brother
Everything he is saying is spot on and understood by most soldiers, and we still serve in spite of that because guess what, who else is gonna do it. This guy is a true hero✊🏿
I love hearing truth from a real guy‼️
Amazing clip. Thanks for sharing. Is there anywhere we can see this whole video?
My respect for this American soldier went through the roof. Honesty is very refreshing.
Joe on his 60 minutes bag.
Your the Goat Joe you deserve your flowers… this was a great interview.!
I cannot wait to see this entire interview!!!!
This SEAL was spitting truth.
I didn’t expect the Cheney joke to make me actually laugh out loud!
Damm joe my respect for this one boss and also my respects to oneil he been through alot for sure hopefully he can find peace with himself and not feel guilty of anything because he realized what was wrong many people realize its wrong and still do it thank u for your service oneil we know u had good intentions boss 🔥🔥🔥 keep god around u he got you ✝️
I never served in Iraq but been to Afg got a special respect for my Iraq vets out there they’re usually in the same boat as Korean War vets this guy has a point about leaving the equipment to open up contracts bittersweet bc I remember our base getting hit by the Taliban once and they had all American equipment even uniforms and gun trucks and they were pretty tough to stop and now we just armed all of Al-Queda but our troops our getting brand new equipment
Great interview. JBN going to the top
It's gross how truthful this is.
Thank You for your service
LOVE these types of interviews! Keep them coming Joe!
This dude is telling all facts. Me and my battle buddies said the same thing. Why are we here? KBR and Haliburton contractors were making 4 times what we were making over there
I remember loading a civilian ship at Morehead City heading to Terkidag Turkey for NATO Exercises, that dam Captain of the ship was walking around bragging about how much he was making, like 600k in 1992, while supervising a work party a longshoreman dropped his wrench, as he bent over to pick it up the old Master Guns I worked for says " you see that Simms? That son of a bitch made more than you make in a month just by picking up his wrench" PFC rate was like $680 a month.
Wasn’t Halliburton a oil company that the Bush’s were invested in or owned part of?
And the bin ladens too through the Carlisle company?
Or am I mistaken?
KBR facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan were staffed by people from Sri Lanka and other poor South Asian countries. they were being exploited while the American civilian contractors were making 6 figure money for being in country for just 4 months doing absolutely jack shit.
@@seansimms8503 The military can work for you as well as long as you aren't in combat or around toxic stuff. I was working a minimum wage job at the the time. I was living in my parents home and had dropped out of college so I joined the army, the idea being I could figure out what I wanted to do, get some money for college and see Germany.
It more or less worked out that way but my sergeant my last year was a narcissist, didn't know what that was at the time, and a recovering alcoholic pain in the a$$ and by the end of that year I was miserable. I thought about reupping but I got out and went back to school and got my degree. So it did work for me but definitely pros and cons. I never figured I would be in a war, which I wasn't and I'm grateful for that. I was in the mid 80's.
@@yopappy6599 Cheney was on the board of Halliburton even got "severance" pay from the company when he left to campaign with fearless George!
I Like When Joe Goes Left Because He Does It The Right Way... This Was Unexpected But Much Needed 💯
This man speaks the truth. I hope people will see this.
Come and take a walk but Mr. Budden walking with his guests. Love this because Mr. O’Neill is 💯 spot on.
Joe killed this one ☝🏾 because I always wanted to know why did we leave all that military equipment. Now, I got my million dollar question answer! Only at The JBP network . Salute 🫡
Let’s go Joe!!! Dope set and conversation!!
I was living in Seattle when that helicopter went down and remember hearing about it. Seals don't just die like that.
To all veterans, you answered the call for your country. Regardless of political reasons. You are soldiers not politicians that is the difference. You make America Great. Thank you !
As a USMC vet myself served from 95-99 I did my time honorably but I too told my stepson the truth about what goes on with our government and told him not too join any branch of service for this particular reason I’m glad he changed his mind about joining.
