Navy SEAL Joins French Foreign Legion After Jail & Being Homeless 

I appreciate you letting these men and women tell their stories. Heartache, triumph, tragedy and all the scars. Phenomenal job and Taylor’s will and mentality to keep pushing is inspiring.

Can you guys please start putting chapters in for us? It's a newer option now and is great so we can choose what chapters we want to listen to.

I really enjoyed your story. Thank you for putting this out. It inspires me. Now I'm thinking about sharing my story. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

I'm x military, I'm not hard core like you, but, I get your Message, I Self Sabotaged myself I'm Almost sixty, So thank you for putting yourself out there, and being a Light for Fuck ups.

I'm bpd myself and this guy really seems like he may be as well

respect LPN

Now that’s badass

Did he retire with the CO's wife or did that not pan out? 😁

No he didnt.

@@MAGAEATSBOOGERS1 Exacly, bunch of bs, If he did, 30 years and down to corporal, LOL

Facts 💯

For sure!

That right there is jail talking workout do not thing about it just get tired …no stress

@@UrbanValorTV Good job, now get him packed up, and sent to Ukraine, they need a few more mugs.

That stood out to me! I want to learn it, understand it and teach it to my daughter!

Fellow Medic - you see this dude is jacked and yes that's a thing. My internet "thoughts" are to integrate physical activity into your life. Trucking can be a thing so don't forget the real ask of physical activity of your body. Get after it.

Shit man that was heavy bro..glad your feeling better about life without all that trauma etc.

I’m happy for you bro.

Good on you for staying the course. Strong

Hugging the **** out of you. I'll give you more every day ❤ (If only YT had a friend's list)

Keep going - stay sober- well done and God Bless.

Stick with it homme', the day will come when you realize you haven't thought about getting effed up in a year, then 5 and sooner than you think 20 years roll by and you're straight edged af. See ya there brother, 21 years in August.

Stay sober and stay active

dude, the fact that he qualed for and became a USN SEAL speaks volumes about him from the start. The regular Army grunt has no idea.

British Army - were you ever deployed as a direct-action element? I met a lot of your kin while deployed as part of ISAF in the Canadian Forces. Remember being pinned down by mostly indirect fire from Tali, and our SR team shacked up with some Royal Marines. Solid dudes. One was around my age and we agreed that we wished we still had L1A1's. One UK dude was mad on an equivalent of a C9 on full auto singing 'Tommy Gun' by the Clash - was wild.

Canadian Armed Forces 2nd Battalion. 2PPCLI, here. I agree with your assessment. Bob Tessier. Very similar guy to this character. Fought every single guy in our platoon, won more than he lost and had some kind of respect, but not the respect you’d follow in battle. Truth was few of my mates liked him. Got offered command school before any of us, promoted to Master Corporal, Sargent in the US. He lasted for about 8 months at that rank, then he smashed a beer bottle into the face of a new Lieutenant. Demoted, of course but not discharged because the Lt. Was in the Sargents mess where he had no business being. Last I heard he left after 3 years (standard contract) and though I maintained contacts over the years with my former platoon mates, no one ever heard of him again. Perhaps he was in the foreign legion. Perhaps that’s what happened to old Bob.

i herd to much me me me not team

@@markbeames7852 Yeah, you can be really qualified in some ways. But in other ways not. For example, you can be extremely skilled lawyer, but if you do some shady shit or somehow break rules of the profession, you are skilled, but you are not fit for the job.

it really is that simple honestly.

Yes

Seriously

Definitely!

Yea like NEVER EVER!!!!❤

❤

last 15min were the least interesting part imo, sounded like it was taken from chatgpt

Correct

i think in fitness world this is what is called roid rage

People like this that get into trouble constantly, but it's almost always no harm to other people, just harm to themselves, are people that are hurting. It's self destruction, they hate their lives. You can tell with this guy that he excells with everything when he sets his mind to what needs to be done and applies himself to his goals. This guy hated himself. He needed a therapist to reach him when he was a teen.😢

The definition of a good soldier right? Thats who i want covering my ass!? Jk.

Big ego. Thinks hit shit don't stink.

Came home in 2013 and got a dui, shit was all just self sabotage

Good luck at home Sir. You have to win that battle too. Thanks for your service from Hungary.

Thanks for your service. The central coast appreciates your service.

Thank you

Just to keep it realistic. No one gets through life without bumps on the road we create for ourselves or others.

It's true enough, but shallow. You are first and foremost a human being.

You gotta bring value to the group,whether it's family work or neighbourhood, show your worth.

I HATE dualism, it’s usually misused by people to give the illusion of choice…. There’s infinity between two points…..

​@@reallyhappenings5597 I don't think it's that shallow actually. It's partly social expectations of men in society but also how men are wired. We are happy when we give respect to others and get respect back. You won't get that kind of respect being a liability to the ones around you. So being someone that lifts up those around you is part of being happy for a man.

Notice this guy is the definition of a liability....

Your Olympics were an embarrassment.

@@emos321I can not argue against that. I was just blown away by the amount of references to the cancel culture, gender ideology and clichés on Paris. If we were in Dallas, we would have been bamboozled by stetsons hats and boots with Stars and Stripes banners or belt buckles! When the artistic direction is only able to produce stereotypes mixed with mainstream media low quality contents you can only say:”it is over”. And it is not even the end. Wait for the “children rights” fights to elapse. When it will be impossible for an adult to express the necessity of any kind of struggle in order to reach for improvements to children.. I let you guess what will be the next generation behaviour in front of long term efforts for reaching any target.

seems like the FFL is due for some DEI reworking.

Il a deserté… quand les petits Gassama eux n‘abandonnent pas pour sauver leur famille…

@@Dzzzzzzzzz21369 ha bon ? Je n’avais pas saisie ce point. Merci de le rappeler. Il n’empêche qu’en l’écoutant je ne peux pas m’empêcher de voir les instructeurs rigoler sous cape en lui demandant sa part de corvée. Navy Seal ? Tiens tu feras les sanitaires ! Et le mettre à la montagne ! Ouarf ça sent la mise à l’épreuve… Il sait nager ? Oui, on va voir comment il sait grimper ! En même, temps si tu le mets aux nageurs, il va ramener sa fraise à chaque consigne : ha chez les Seals on ne fait pas comme ça. Et c’est mieux etc. Pas facile à gérer. En tout cas, S’il a déserté c’est qu’il n’a pas su gérer son expérience. Seal ou pas. Il a des pilotes de mig la bas et ils ne la ramènent pas. Donc le standard est bon.

he's real

You mean that the other interviews were no good? Or that you now can ...focus longer than before? ( i know.. .. a passive agressive way of asking the rhetorical question: :Maybe it is you who changed? " But I can;t come up with a non douchebag way of saying it. ) What I should have said is: "Dude... that tells us more about you, than about the Interviews." .... and hope you're not made of glass.

@@macmanmanny3983 are you off your meds bro? It's really not that deep..

@@macmanmanny3983 I wasn't speaking specifically about this channels videos. I meant that I often don't have the time to watch entire interviews but this one had me glued to the screen all the way through. Take it however you want man.

Yet somehow accomplished goals only small percentage of humans can accomplish. Wild story.

​@@BarkWhoGoesThere😄💪

​@@BarkWhoGoesThere My #SanAntonioPD and Navy EOD Veteran father victim-blames me for my rape while deployed to the Iraq War. I haven't heard from that weaponized sociopath in over a decade. The last time he spoke to me, I was fighting homelessness. #ACAB. My family talked me into enlistment on 09/01/01. I became an electronics technician in the Navy, attached to the #USSPrinceton in San Diego. I was bound and raped in my bunk while deployed in 2005, and had my reports covered up with a OTH discharge in 2006, leaving me without VA benefits like VA care for the resulting mental illness. My rapist had multiple victims (three others I am aware of), was never investigated, got his honorable discharge, and now works with amtrak in l.a I attempted suicide in 2009, but survived with a traumatic brain injury in the frontal and temporal lobes, greatly affecting my emotional regulation, attention span, and complicating my untreated PTSD. At my lowest, I told my father and Navy Captain grandfather the real reason why I was kicked out. They stopped talking to me. That was 2013 and my grandfather died in 2017. I still haven't heard from the majority of my victim-blaming family. I wish I had dealt drugs, or maybe emigrated, after 9/11, rather than enlisting to serve a country that would turn it's back on me. I was denied justice for a felony, robbed of my career, and left homeless for some time, and I did nothing to deserve it. I hate myself for serving this country. Look up the #HoustonChronicle article titled "Case Closed, but Sailor Death Baffles the Navy", and you will read about Robert Macrum, a witness to the serial rapist that was covered up with negligent manslaughter. They sent him out on the forward decks to do unnecessary repairs by himself, in a horrible storm with 25ft waves crashing over the bow. He was washed overboard and lost at sea. The official report to NCIS was that he went out for a cigarette. Biden signed an executive order taking investigation and prosecution of sexual assault and other felonies, out of the hands of commanding officers, and assigned that to a separate, unbiased agency. He also instructed the discharge review board to upgrade the discharges of veterans like me, an estimated 26,000 of us when there were only 238 convictions in military courts. #ThanksBiden

@@BarkWhoGoesThere he never could give up the drugs.. over and over the only thing that changed was what he was "taking"

Most underrated analogy in this comment section

Lol

Best comment here. LOL

These comments about how underrated the comment is are really underrated comments. I hope more ratedness is bestowed and quick, for obvious reasons

Great analogy

Thanks brother, keep us posted on your journey 🤙🏼

@@UrbanValorTV Will do, thank you as well

do you think this even possible after 35

Age is all in your mind. You can do it if you want it bad enough. 34 is still young!!!

You’re already too old I think 30 is the cut off

Appreciate you sharing this with us and for watching 🤙🏼

I went to the Legion to chill out 😂

20kg? 😂 The standard Australian ruck march is 60kg. One minimum entry to the SAS is a 20km march with 60kg in less than 3 hours.

i don't think peers aren't rolemodels, parents/parental figures are.

He woulda ended up the same way no matter what. To quote the godfather Vito corleone..." every man has but one destiny"... what's in you is in you, that's it. Sammy the bull gravano had awesome straight and hard working parents wo raised him right but he was who he was.

SO YOU ARE BLAMING EVERYONE BUT HIM NOW I AM WONDERING WHO YOU ARE HANGING OUT WITH. YOU MUST BLAME ON WRONG THAT HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE TOO ? RIGNT. 😂😂😂😂😂

@@tcavofficial watching through, I went to Camp Atterbury for a joint tasker with the Army (I was USAF) were the prisoners still serving food in the chowhall? Lmao

@@tcavofficial no you seem like a solid cat. Definitely enjoyed listening to your story. I would have loved to make it to the Marines but I got into a lot of trouble with the law. Definitely some similarities.

I am a combat vet Army. This dude is legit, the thing he has done in life is well over an average person living 3 life times man. We all have different experiences etc. but this dude knows his shit, he has a lot of valuable information. He is honest and tells it how it is. Men like this are the dudes that walk into a bar if they do go to a bar and all the guys just stare. They can tell and feel the energy of a real mother fucker. Even their woman will want to talk to him. It’s facts. I have experienced it myself many times. The difference between men like him and I and others is we would never capitalize on that shit. Real, humble, and tell It like it is.

Insightful comment. Thanks.

Fully agree with u. 👌

People with those skills are difficult to find

Not to mention the amount of money invested in him in training

Actually the story sounds quite possible in the military. Need for that level of strength and competency overcomes an awful lot. I'm not certain what you mean.

​@@jamesconner3437a military full of jacked dumbasses

​@jamesconner3437 I think what he means is pretty obvious (unless I am mistaken), you get away with a lot if you are high enough in the right places. No need to be accountable because your buddies will get you out.

But end up homeless, alcoholic or substance abuser because nothing to focus on This type of personality need goals and tasks

Let go of the past. You cannot change the past. You ONLY have NOW and TOMORROW. Start looking forward and change yourself.

Rest in Peace to your brother and that you both for your service and sacrifice

A self-confident man will NOT tolerate "torture and fear." He has nothing to prove to anyone. He's proven to himself.

@@Richard-f7q Its not torture and fear though. Ive been through training and seen people crack up, throw their gun in the air, walk off and start crying. Seen people open fire at mosquitos under the stress of it all. Not once did I feel afraid or tortured. I do have fears, but none of them are about death, being alone, the dark, the cold. He mentions in the video he got in a good crew of focused people who he called "warriors", these are the people they are looking for. People who go through hell week and remember it fondly, remember the row out when they were exhausted, remember the carrying the weight that extra mile, were talking, laughing joking as they did... the problem is people like the one you're replying to, who do it as a badge, to try and prove they are a warrior. They suffer through a week of hell to try and prove they can do it too, but they dont realize, for a certain percent, its not really suffering, its not torture, they are not proving anything to anyone, not even themselves. They are just doing what they want. You on the other hand have to prove to everyone around you that you can sit in traffic to get to work every day.

It seems to me like the whole BUDS/UDT and SEAL training process selects for more or less functional sociopaths. This guy never had enough stucture, boundaries, reliable care and predictability when he was a kid. He's a poster child for attachment disorder. He had no foundational role models of contiuous, consistent self-discipline to anchor him, so he sought it under military discipline. The minute that military discipline let up on him he went apeshit every time. This shit is tragic.

@@bradleyheck7204 "He had no foundational role models of continuos, consistent, self discipline to anchor him, so he sought it under military discipline". That hits a bit too close to home man.

​@@bradleyheck7204 also some ADHD here - looking back on my time in an Army infantry company - it was rampant.

@@LincolnTeale-bp3vl What he said about the legion not accepting criminals, that is false, and Interpol looking into the Legion, false as well, I've known many that are in the Legion for that exact reason, to get away from interpol...

You respect someone who is a drug dealer?

Yup had to do that myself too. I played hard, but also had an indomitable respect for work.

@@Vanceydress who said anything about respect I dont even know the guy, but that line is funny

Fact

I read the same book by Mark Twain.

@@Ramon-k1x …Well this one was actually a cartoon in “The New Yorker” about ten years ago….what was the actual book by Twain that you read this in?

At least he made it indeed, and made the "turn within," which again proves that he has something of value. Hopefully he'll start seeing it, really seeing it. FEAR is not about cowardice, it is a force of nature and it has driven him, as it does so many warriors, as it did me. LOVE is also a force, and of the two it is stronger, but vulnerability is the key. Framing men as liabilities or assets is catchy, but it is still a dualistic fear saturated paradigm. I wish him the best.

I don't think he's "made it" yet. That's part of what this interview is about, telling a kickass story so you'll buy into the life coach hustle he deserted the FFL to pursue.

@@mr.stotruppen8724 he is still alive, that counts as making it for me. He's smart enough to make money, being alive is the harder job

@@mr.stotruppen8724 no hustle. I change peoples' lives and teach a better way.

Think the better question is how do you F- up so many times to slowly build yourself back up to then fall again, but still have the will to keep on trying.

I've never done drugs so I don't know if I have anything of use to say but if it's possible it's a physiological issue... According to the craziest story I've ever heard, or ever will, the Bock Saga, there's supposedly a cure to (almost?) any illness, but I have never tried it so do not know, nor would people probably consider it seriously, unless they have nothing to lose and can swallow their pride I suppose. According to the Saga, swallowing one's own ejaculate for a couple months supposedly does the trick. IIRC one German guy (Anando I think was his name) cured his STD with it supposedly so... Now if one can get past the giggles and entertain the thought and consider how or why it should work, perhaps because that's sort of the same substance a human being is made out of in the first place, so then it stands to reason that the same substance would be used to "defragment/restore structural integrity/restore factory settings". If one has nothing to lose, one's ego doesn't block the idea outright nor if nobody would know or care either way, why not try it before resorting to an ultimate permanent solution?

👌🏾Your comment shows such compassion and empathy 😢 It’s true that warriors are exploited, it’s also true this guy didn’t stand a chance against John Barleycorn- alcohol is such an insidious and destructive drug… Part of me wants my defenders to be roided up psychopaths- I mean look who they fight against, but our shared values are liberty and justice and our freedom means less if it comes at the expense of our character- we shouldn’t be pimping these folks to do our deeds, we should care for them body, heart, mind, AND soul

@@VeeinBerkeley i agree, but also roids, drugs, etc. are not conducive to good decision making. Case in point, Eddie Gallagher, another Seal Team 7 member accused of war crimes and eccentric behavior on and off the battlefield.

@@MJ-fj9yv u know your right, I was being a bit glib- but also there’s that part of me that wants Talib to experience the darkest heart of our dysfunction that they may know our wrath in it’s potential fullness…It’s small of me, I know, but it’s there still in me-that immaturity 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@VeeinBerkeley No, i completely understand and definitely have felt the same way. The real question is do we need emotionally unstable people to bring violence and pain to the enemy? Based on my personal experience, no. Delta,Seal Team six and even many others like Mossad are an excellent example of this. The key is harnessing the “switch” to control the violence, where it goes on in the right situation. Cavanaugh was a loose canon well before the Teams, when focused in a confined and controlled environment he did well, but take away the environment and he became a liability. The problem here is lack of command influence to help these guys grow as a person, become wiser, almost at a spiritual level. Interestingly enough that is what the Legion provided to Cavanaugh but the Seal Teams couldn’t.

​@@MJ-fj9yvthis idiot is is emotionally unstable and likely to torture and bully others. He should behave locked up.

Is it really motivating to see someone screw up their life so much, so willingly and so often?

Nothing motivating about a train wreck.

@@MichaelLawrencem3You’d be surprised. Sometimes the best advice comes from someone who did the opposite.

@@Davefacestation Yes it is. It's literally a foundation of motivation. It's falling down, and finding something inside you to get back on your feet again. The man in this video is the exception. Because very few people could screw up that many times, and still manage to come out in the end, not just with their sanity, but come out still make something of themselves that they can be proud of. How is that not motivating? And if that's a train wreck, MichaelLawrencem3, then I don't know what to tell you.

He needs a solid ten years of not screwing up and hitting bottom again before he should be an inspiration to anyone.

I know. And three-quarters of the people here see him as some sort of inspirational hero. This guy doesn't know to get out of the rain.

Learned hard lessons and still did a lot. Now i teach others a better way.

The best Marines I’ve worked with are almost always the most batshit insane, many such cases

It might surprise you to know this but a good chunk of people in the special operations community are wired the same way high profile criminals and terrorists are. They look for that. They select for that. It's part of what separates them from conventional forces.

It gets better...

@@jedprice9122 and once he got there, he fucked it all up by being a loose cannon. All that motivation was wasted...

Not like he did not follow through because he did. More like getting bored once he achieved something and moving on to something else.

🤙🏼🇺🇸👊🏼

Crazy, reading comments, absolutely the truth!

I’m glad I watched the rest of his presentation. He finally got it. Bravo! From one veteran to another. Big time respect.

This guy is really on the spot with a lot of things.

I think it is 90% BS. He is like a caricature of what a civilian would image a SF. An unhinged, undisciplined wrecking ball full of concert stories and bar fights.

Yes I heard the show first from Soft white belly interview 2nd watch: Mike drop podcast and now here. Sort of reading or watching a movie 3 times and knowing who the hero villain and end of the story.

@@PhineastheTiger Right, but we are bck here listening... captivating I guess

@@aphysique Assertive commands respect and attention, gives off good energy, I like his stories very detailed and dynamic.

The Mike drop interview was top notch! All the correct questions were asked, an authentic conversation.

Appreciate it 🤙🏼

40 years back? How was it? I imagine extremely disciplined then.

Long ago, when there were like only two SEAL teams, those guys were ultra secret and hardly spoke to anyone outside of their unit. I've read that even the UDT guys hardly had access to what the SEALs were up to. Just different times, I guess.

@@MVK_GS That make sense, we would only see them training on the beach. Shit anytime you see them, they were training.

It’s because his story is BS

@@owenmccallum6076 It sounds like it. If any part is true, he sound like,what they use to call a total fuckup. I see lot of comments eluding to perseverance, but on the i am not so sure about that.

Tomorrow I will give a shit, I swear man

Boot camp for a year? Wow. 8 weeks and I was out. In a year I went to electronics school and reported to my first ship. Maybe, I'm missing something.

@@Evrydyryder It was not only bootcamp, this regiment was the training school for all the french marines, there were 4 companies that were dedicated to train soldiers. I spent 4 months basic training + 2 months training to become a corporal and the rest of the time I worked at the armoury then receiving the rookies, I taught them the basics (military salute, presenting, haircut, getting their package and march in step) prior to be sent for their 4 months in a training company.

Maistrance ?

@@xeels2708 Maistrance is for the Navy, my son in law went through maistrance when he was a teen, now at 40 he is a Naval officer. The French Marines are much like the regular army but they were usually sent oversees. Some say they are better quality troops, but I am not sure, they have the same training. Even the French Legion has the standard french infantry training. The 2nd REP (legion paratroopers) are trained and jump at the same school (Pau) as the Army and Marines paratroopers.

Especially if that mistake is a marriage

🙏🏼

No he is not! Bar fighting and drug taking is not tough! It’s fucking stupid.

Thank you for watching🤙🏼

I'll have to remember that one. LOL

Or drunk-driving a golf cart.

That sounds like you found out the meaning of unmanageable.
