Awesome Podcast. I am a little conflicted about it. I had friends and fellow veterans that were in contact with the Marine units that were in Afghanistan during our “withdrawal.” There were very strong opinions on the military allowing civilians to conduct operations (NCO level). It is interesting to see the seemingly opposing viewpoints. Marines were pissed that they were told they couldn’t conduct operations. Yet, civilians could get positive press, photo opportunities, and the ability to act.
Deals that are made at the top for operations to be conducted do not always make it to the bottom, to the guy/gal standing at the gate looking at a sea of people. I hope that all my brothers and sisters (civilian former operators and active duty) can see in hind site the different perspectives that they could not at the time. I wonder if Jocko considers what the active duty person thinks when civilians do what they are told not to do?
I love your podcast
