We Need Role Models

The warrior code was instilled in me from a very early age.My former GHS football coach the legendary Mike Ornato was all about character tradition and integrity. He made it very clear that the actions of a few can make everybody look bad.This meant no kissie face in the hallway w/ your girl just do well in school and bring your game face on sat because everybody knew if you were a poser and a kissie face and if you couldn't hit and instill fear in the opponent you never would earn the respect from your teammates and that's something you could and would never be able to earn back.One of the biggest highlights of my life was lining up at the USMA the following year and actually starting as a nose tackle going up against their JV but it really was most of their varsity.I watched those boys w/ their same names and number on national tv playing in a bowl game the following year against Arizona. I was small quick and aggressive but  that was the beginning of the end for my career. I walked away w/ a sack and a fumble recovery but I pretty much needed a stretcher for my low back for the remainder of my years up until this very day. I left it all on the field but to hear that West Point is now teaching bad things about Wahington and Jefferson our founding fathers these days has been quite disturbing. I was recruited by West Point they saw the film and wanted me as a d-back but there was no way I was ever getting in to that school or any other military academy for that matter due to my math and science aptitude.This brings me to the disconnect of the general population and for many of the elite types.It seems they never knew what kind of pressure is involved when one has the warrior code which means to protect and save lives w/ out unnecessary loss of life.That capitalist Paul Craig Roberts is a perfect example.I give him some credit he translated the real scenario of the OBL mission and came to a very obvious conclusion however he is arrogant and way out of touch w/ reality and has a major disconnect. For starters he insulted the intelligence of DEVGRUs family members saying something to the effect "these families aren't that intelligent but they just knew something wasn't right".Are you kidding me those warriors are the smartest guys in the world Michael Strange was a cryptoligist thats genius level type. That is just one example of many that I can write about. I know dam well how hard it is to get into a military academy, its harder then Ivy League.Most of those Annapolis Boys all want to give buds a shot and most of these candidates don't make it either.That is the reality for 80% of all buds classes.They will never lower the standards but they do try to find ways to get them more prepared as exemplified by Capt Bissets program.The point  is the operators are the smartest guys in the room not knuckle dragging trigger pullers but most elites like Roberts don't have a clue and they never will..Marcus Lutrull explains in his book The Lone Survivor the different levels of intelligence and mental toughness one needs to eventually become a warrior at the highest level.If these guys weren't doing their real world operator missions they would more then likely be running wall street firms but they wouldn't be blowing up bridges and making enemies and robbing stealing and ruining lives and sending everybody out on the street.The seals I lived w/ were the Pat Tillman types highly intellectual and well versed on so many different levels.These are the guys that could definitely infiltrate wall street or be a high level executive protection agent. Then when bad things start to happen they will absolutely be ready to roll by keeping people very calm and having plenty of advance teams allready in place.One thing I know for certain is that real men not just special force operators but anybody who has the warrior code their instinct is to protect and they have the highest level of respect for life.Its a bad situation when cowards don't let anybody see it coming meanwhile they already ran the other way the entire time making believe they really care. Then the cowards show up later after they allready got out of dodge well in advance w/ thier fake crocodile tears and new Marshal Law Orders..What makes this even worse is not only do they not let us see it coming when we do eventually get hit these cowards actually have the audacity to blame somebody else. Newsflash people aren't that dumb anymore and that kind of behavior is anathema in the warrior code world. .
