Navy SEAL Jocko Willink Breaks Down Combat Scenes From Movies | GQ

Jocko wasn't born, he was tactically deployed

Jocko once destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise

When Jocko was a student , he would write his answers during the exam
and the teacher must fill in the correct questions

Jocko doesn't actually have to aim his weapon. The bullets just go to the target out of pure respect

There's always someone tougher. That stops at Jocko.

Jocko once heard nothing could kill him, so he tracked down nothing and killed it

Jocko's daughter: Daddy I want a dog for christmas!
Jocko: Check. A dog is a great asset to have.

Jocko once climbed Mt. Everest in 15 minutes... He spent the first 14 building a snowman at the bottom.

When Jocko visits a foreign country, everything within a mile radius becomes American territory.

When Jocko moved out, he told his father "You're the man of the house now"

He doesn’t wear a watch, he decides what time it is

Jocko is that kind of guy who would actually reload his gun faster than switching to secondary/pistol.

One time Jocko's reserve chute failed over Russia, resulting in him hitting the ground at maximum velocity. We call this incident today the Tunguska event. Russia has never figured out it was Jocko.

"SEALs are just regular people"
Says the guy who's built like hulk.

When Jocko says “freeze this frame”, the TV pauses out of fear. He doesn’t trust remotes or GQ. That’s what communication school’s for.

This dude is the most military-looking military dude that's ever militaried

"They're hostile, and what they need to do is die." Right to the point, no BS.

As a retired combat Army Ranger, Jocko is spot on with his airborne critics. I can't comment on SEAL comments he made, but i'm sure he's correct!!

Here's what I like about these, he's not just picking apart each film with all of it's "flaws". I've seen too many of those videos. He's explaining things.

0:08 - Intro
0:19 - Navy Seals (1990)
7:13 - Act of Valor (2012)
12:04 - American Sniper (2014)
16:21 - Lone Survivor (2013)
19:25 - Captain Phillips (2013)
22:40 - Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
25:53 - Outro

I bet Jocko is reading the comments and having a nice chuckle about how people are downplaying his abilities.

Jocko has never been late or early. He arrived exactly at 5am, and they had to adjust the world atomic clock to Jocko's watch.

Jocko’s reserve parachute never opened, the ground just kept moving away until he caught up to it at a brisk pace.

Jocko once brought a knife to a gun fight just to give his enemies a fighting chance.

I absolutely love how military and mission-centered his vocabulary is. Very fun to listen to

Jocko never actually shot anyone, he inserted the bullets manually.

One of the most realistic movie i've seen is Triple Frontier. no overreactions, firing weapons just enough, not like most movies trying to unload all bullets in the magazine all at once.

No surprise Jocko and Chris have been in each other’s company before. True badasses. 💪🏽🇺🇸

"we're not just terminator robots" is exactly what a terminator robot would say..

In Lone Survivor, when they were discovered and decided it would be wise to abort mission, the recommended course of action should've been to take the captives along with them while they were on their way to the fallback RV point. Then when they reached about halfway to their RV for exfil, cut the captives loose. As the team would hike out to the exfil point, the captives would return to their village, but about the time they get there and get all their men mustered up to go hunt down the Americans, they would've already been on a chopper heading back to base, or at the very least, still waiting for their ride, and the enemy would still be very far away, with no certainty of the Americans' locations. The mistake they made was deciding right then and there to cut the captives loose.
Of course, this is just my hindsight opinion. I wasn't there, and the only thing I'm basing this on is a movie.

Jocko doesn’t shoot his weapon, he just throws the bullets

Me: "This is terrifying"
Jocko: "Good times"
Me: "Good times"

I loved listening to him talk, I really felt like I learned a lot and he made everything very informative. :)

Jocko reminds me of my dad...Lol... Who was also a Navy SEAL that specialized in underwater demo. So I have major respect for Jocko and every member of our military!

20:44 i like how he’s so professional by saying « you can be very liberal as to how you employ your weapon system » which roughly translates to « you pop everything that moves »

It's just been made official: Jocko is the newest branch of the military.

Thank you Jocko for serving and for continuing to serve in civilian life. Continuing on is hard for a lot of us, you are a great example and support for us all. Thank You Jocko.

He's exactly what I had pictured a Navy SEAL to be 😆

I just wanna take this time to thank this guy for his service! You are what makes america safe and free!

"I've never heard of a negotiation goin' down in a military scenario, because we're assuming that the people that have the hostages are hostile. And what they need to do is DIE." That's it right there.

Jocko didn’t join the military, the military joined him.

Tremendous closing statement about those who serve and the impact on them and their families. We thank you for your service and to all those who have served and especially those who have sacrificed their lives serving in our armed forces.
Many times people get caught up in the politics around a war and forget that to those who serve are just following orders and doing a harrowing job and they do it better than anyone else in the world. We know we are safe every day because of those who are willing to die to protect this nation and it’s borders.
It’s so easy to get caught up in life and forget this, so it helps every now and then to stop and think of the sacrifice that men and women have made throughout our history to try to maintain our freedom the best they can.

Absolutely brilliant, straight forward and to the point..thank you for your service sir!

These comments are KILLING ME 😂😂😂 but fr, this was so interesting to watch! Love how he’s just straight to the point, no bs- and the stories he shared.

Infantry and Sniper back ground. Multiple deployments to the Ghan and Iraq. Willink seems to be really accurate in his assessment of what I have experiences with.

Jocko doesn't dress to the weather, the weather adapts to his clothing

This guy is real. I wish we had more like that. Instead, we get pansy attention seekers who will do or say anything then twist and spin it to get the most publicity possible. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, just be real.

So well spoken, thank you for this break down! I learned a lot

My favorite part of all Jocko videos is how he does not ever look impressed by anything. When he introduces whatever he's talking about, he has this sort of resting look of utter basic disdain. Like he knows nothing is ever going to be entirely accurate or good enough.
'Oh. That's cute. It thinks it's good.'
He has a good point about the job though, as my cousins confirm: you don't need to do anything to the job to make it look cool. It *IS* cool.

This is really helpful and a nice - what seems honest - view into the challenges our military faces. Thank god for our warriors, let's acknowledge them by giving them a peaceful future.

Whenever Jocko creates an account, the Terms & Conditions agrees with him

I love that Jocko doesnt act like all the killing was so tragic for him......he doesnt glorify it but he acknowledgees that its a part of the job.

The dude literally has jock in his name. He was born to live that military life.

Thank you to all service members. To see what people are trying to do to this country recentl, breaks my heart. Especially when think of all the people that sacrificed their lives for the well being of the constitution.

"Trying to be fake hard in front of Jocko"
Jocko: Thats not very realistic

Jocko got pulled over once, but let the officer off with a verbal warning.

Jocko helped out the nurses when he was born.

This is the value of TheXvid. Having a real life military veteran share personal experience and commentary on the true cost of freedom around the world. Jocko helps people learn to appreciate their freedom and the price which must be paid to sustain it.

I love how Jocko is nonchalant about all of it 😂 nothing faces him and I love it!!!

It's interesting listening to this as some things I would simply guess as they just make sense, other things I get wildly wrong or wouldn't have even thought of.
Specialisation is an interesting one as it is something movies tend to ignore. Instead they would paint a SEAL as trained to the pinnacle in everything. I've never really questioned it as, let's face it, I don't know what they get up to, but it makes sense.
You'd want a team where everyone is capable of performing a variety of roles, but these are young men, mastery of a role takes time so there is only so much time to master it.
I may be wildly wrong, but I imagine a sort of jack of all trades, master of one, type scenario.

Jocko never sleeps; he just closes his eyes while he waits.

Thank you for your service Sir.....I have the utmost respect for the SEALS..You guys are awesome

Jocko doesn't need to breach a door. It just opens itself out of respect for him.

Excellent job making everything understandable to civilians without exaggeration or bluster.

That's my favorite Jocko quote of all time, "we don't use a negotiatior because at this time they are hostiles and what they need to do, is die"

On exams, Jocko writes the answers and the teacher has to write the correct questions

I knew a Seal, used to shoot with him on a .22 indoor target league. He was a diver, later worked at the Pentagon. Real nice guy, very soft spoken, professional in every word. Never talked about the job. It just "was". He moved out of this frozen, liberal wasteland to warmer pastures. Miss that dude.

I had a non skydiving buddy ask me what happened if my reserve didn't open. All I could tell them was that I'd be landing a lot harder than planned. The look of realization on their face was priceless.

When Jocko jumped off the plane, he didn't fall down by gravity, but the whole earth was drawn towards him by his gravity

I don’t know why for some reason I like hearing him talk about different movies and explain things because he seems so real

Jocko’s the guy that can tell Gordon Ramsay his food is bad.

Very interesting and logical point about how S.E.A.L.s always have to deal with water so when water isn't involved it makes it feel so much easier.

In Lone Survivor, I was wondering why they didn't simply tie up the YOUNGER one, and let the elderly man go. That way, it likely would have taken the old man an hour or more to descend down the mountain, thus giving the SEALS considerably MORE time to get farther away. It just didn't make sense to me, to let them BOTH go!

Very interesting watching this as a recreational skydiver. Most of this is exactly the same although him talking about the ripcord. We don't use a ripcord we wave off, extend one arm back and our other arm forward and pull out the pilot chute with a hackey. You don't need oxygen at 14k feet tho.

When Jocko was in Afghanistan, he went to the terrorists' territory alone and told them they were surrounded. They surrendered.

Jocko is the kind of guy that reads the whole terms and condition and clicks disagree

Jocko could end world hunger by looking it in the eyes.

I love his name or nickname. Jocko. It makes total sense. The guy is ripped and you gotta be impressed with that training and skill set.☮️❤️🇺🇸

Jocko once wanted 2 days of rest, today we call that the weekend.

Thank you, Jocko, for your service.

A cop once pulled Jocko over. The cop got off with just a warning.

I very much appreciate this even though I have never experienced it nor would I want to. Frankly; too tough for me. More important: I do believe your narrative.. Thank you

It was a NAVY SEAL who taught me to dive back in the 70's at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in PR. One of the nicest and most professional men that I have ever met.

Jocko once had a sense of humour, but he didn´t need it. So he gave it away. Such a good person.

You can tell this guy was good at what he did because he had a lot to say.

Jocko doesn't read books, he stares them down untill they give him the information he needs

0:03 😂 I love how he just casually does the most PERFECT salute I've ever seen.

That ending of Captain Phillips was exceptional cinema and was the best acting job of Tom Hanks’ career.

He’s the inspiration behind small soldiers.

When Jocko says he’s hungry…The nearest pizza place calls him.

When Jocko heard that nothing could kill him, he went out, found nothing and killed it first.

Death speaks to Jocko: "I'm taking you away today Jocko." Jocko to death: "That's not very realistic . . . I'll let you know who you're taking away . . . and when." Death lowers his scythe and shuffles away dejectedly.

I love how he states the obvious but never in an annoying way

Jocko is like the Chuck Norris of Military.

When Jocko talks about the schools he sent to as apart of the Navy Seals what he fails to mention is that he simultaneously founded them.

In school teachers had to raise their hands to speak to Jocko.

When Jocko was an active seal he never used fire arms..he just threw the bullets

Jesus christ can walk on water....but Jocko can swim through land.

Jocko didn’t join the army , the army joined him

“Seals are just people,” said the superhuman being
