He lied about being the honor grad of his ranger school. Why would he lie about something that could be so easily disproven. It is fucking wild.

Listening to this makes me feel like an idiot for mentioning what I saw on hunting Hitler.
The towns where he spoke to them in Spanish and they look confused and reply in German in Argentina.
The tales of Nazis in chile putting ink in peopleās eyes to try to change the color to blueā¦
I question everything Tim ever said. Heās clearly a compulsive liar tall tale teller.

No. I donāt have time to sit and watch a 3 hour video, sorry.
Nazis really did escape to Argentina but itās doubtful Hitler did. Felton did a great series on it that gets fairly in-depth.

Did you see my post about Hitler earlier in the thread about the Uber driver lady I met from the town Hitler lived in in Argentina?

Tim is full of shit on a number of things.
Heās on steroids, claims heās never touched them.
Also claims he needs to eat something like 6000 calories a day because he works out so hard.
Iām pro torture, but after listening to him say that him getting waterboarded by his friends in his house proves itās not bad I realized heās very full of shit and Iāve never looked at anything heās said the same again. He has a lot of old MMA stories that are highly suspicious too.
Someone I know trained with him a long time ago, probably like 10 years maybe now. Guy was a cop and decent local MMA guy and grappler, it was a specific law enforcement thing so almost nobody else trained. Tim rolled with everyone, hurt all these fat cops who donāt train, and then got heel hooked by the guy I know who was just treating it like a friendly flow roll. Tim roid raged and said he had tried to hurt him (this guy absolutely would not have) and then tried to fight him. The guy was depressed for months after that, Tim was one of his idols before that event.
Tim sucks unfortunately. I wish he was a good dude

A lot of these military guys who do podcasts and write books seem like they are full of shit.

Thereās plenty of podcasters that are also military calling them out
One of the guys that had a movie deal and went on Rogan apparently ran from the fight and got his buddies killed and the military media turned him into a hero and literally wrote a book for him. Travis something I think. You guys probably know the movie and the guy.
Recently he finally admitted it. I saw the clip. He said basically the navy wrote the book already and then sent him on a media tour
EDIT: I was referring to Marcus Lutrell, the guy the (fictional) story Lone Survivor was based on.

My dad did 20 years in the army, heās done a lot of cool shit and knows a lot of bad asses. He knows a lot of delta guys from back then.
I asked him why the spec ops and seal guys are always in this cycle of making shit up and also constantly trying to diminish other spec ops guys, in a way normal infantry guys donāt seem to.
He said his guess is itās because to make it in those fields you have to be delusional to a certain extent to deal with the training and lifestyle. And they are also all super competitive, so they will make shit up not necessarily to make themselves sound better than they really are, but to make themselves sound better than other spec ops guys. He said that also is why they shit on each other so much.
Reminded of that Louie Simmons quote: ānormal people get normal results.ā I donāt think you get good at that job without having some screws loose in the way you interface with reality and the truth, at least not most of the time.

10% rule. True of every population. Thereās thousands of SOF guys that have not been on podcasts.

Listening now. Bold claim to say you were DHG of Ranger School. Easily disprovable.

Tim was on Jockos podcast. If someone like me with no military background can pick up on the inconsistencies, shouldnāt Jocko with his background pick them up too?

Just like cops, plenty of sf guys are malcontent psychopaths. I know. I was going to attempt to be one before I was med disqualified.
Edit : Most are psychos with some sociopaths mixed in.

Itās arguable that some sociopathic tendencies are desirable, and probably highlighted in the psych screenings.

When I left, I joined the army, and when I took the service exam my psych profile fit a certainā¦ moral flexibility would be the only way to describe itā¦ and I was loaned out to a CIA-sponsored program, and we sort of found each other. Thatās how it works.
