Episode notes
Tanks in Ramadi
- Jocko worked with the 1-1 AD in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006, frequently hearing about Patton.
- The sound of tanks firing up to protect troops was impactful, solidifying Patton's image as a premier tanker in Jocko's mind.
Patton's Paradox
- Patton's legacy extends beyond military achievements; his complex, paradoxical nature is captivating.
- His hyper-aggression, a strength and weakness, exemplifies the idea that strengths can also be flaws.
Steamroller and Flanking
- Employ a "steamroller strategy": stick to your overall course, but tactically exploit weaknesses.
- Attack enemy strengths to distract them, then flank them like in Jiu-Jitsu or combat.
