You must never have heard his views on the Dichotomy of principles. Oh my GOD!!! Jockos statements on Trump and Obama clearly reflect his bias towards Right-Wing ideas. Only thing I agree on with this review is that he could be more open about the prerequisites to self-discipline regarding taking full accountability towards everything. The supplements are overpriced in my opinion, especially Molk (the protein powder), it does taste good but boy oh boy the price. Also, what does Jocko think about the Capitol Riots?

These manipulative authors (who are just bad activists, not quality journalists) butter up the reader with a few positive truths, then use false premises, out of context statements and plain made up facts to smear people in the hopes that some of the mud will stick. Trump is the ANTITHESIS of everything Jocko teaches, and if Jocko supports him, that is highly disturbing to me. I bet the people who support anti-masker dont believe in vaccines too.
