It’s so obvious that the powers that be want to dismantle every great thing about American masculinity and war fighting prowess. This is an example of an intellectual writing an opinion, but due to his “academic achievement” is taken as factual. Spartans appear in a bad light to the weak and effeminate. Weakness was not tolerated in any form. The principles of their nation were paramount. And, there is no way for him to gloss over this: Spartans we’re revered by their fellow Greeks for their prowess in the games and more so on the battlefield. Some of Western civilization’s greatest thinkers were fanboys of the Spartan esprit de corps. Academia is compromised, entirely. It’s an indoc camp.

On top of all this, how can the architects of the greatest stand in military history, Thermopylae, be losers or overrated. The use of terrain and bravery/prowess in the face of unbelievable odds(700 total Greeks vs 250,000 Persians) stomps his argument out.

And I’ll leave you with this: Sparta was the only great city of antiquity without walls. Why? They said their men were their wall. Sparta was never sacked in their 500 yr heyday. These dudes should absolutely be revered. Their masculinity should be emulated and we damn sure should look to their example when faced with overwhelming odds, or when we are in need of courage. Molon effing Labe is what I say to this p Nick necked Professor. Hey nerd, learn how to fight and get strong, you won’t hate the warrior ethos so much. I’m sick of histoey being rewritten by the weak and lazy.

The U.S. military’s admiration of a proto-fascist city-state is based on bad history.

Simple Morning Routine: Rise, expose body and eyes to early morning sunlight, read, embodiment(breath/movement or both,) train, cold plunge then dominate. If my schedule gets whack I make sure I hit the sunlight and embodiment work and fit the rest in as I can. Know this: I’m going to train: rain, sleet, hail or snow. But if you don’t have the discipline, do it all while everyone else is just getting out of bed. You won’t regret it. Caveat: if you’re beat up, yoga/mobility/stretch instead of strength training. Most of us need to train. High mileage and older cats need to balance this. Book: The Art of Embodiment For Men, by G.S. Youngblood. Highly recommend. The answers aren’t in the latest tech and “science” they are within and all around. Oh yeah, be barefoot and ground into the Earth. **ra

While meditating recently, I was hit with the realization that despite all I do to have optimal health and vitality, I demand a lot from my body. From training for war, military airborne operations, fighting in war, to strength training, boxing and BJJ, I have put my body through a lot. So deep in meditation I felt compelled to thank my body and to promise to do better in my care for it. Our bodies are temples. We must train and harden them, but also rest and restore. Today I made good on that with some fun paralettes L-sit to handstand, some bent press practice and some steel mace work. Finished with 5 min of breath of fire and 5 min vitality breathing. Obviously bare feet-grounding in the grass and sunshine were on the menu too. **ra

How’s everybody’s health? We feeling good? Get outside and move those bodies. Walk or hike for an hour. 50 push ups, 100 squats, 10 pull ups, in as few sets as possible. Get responsible sunshine and take a cold shower or plunge in some cold ass water for a couple minutes. Don’t eat fake food and fast for 24 hrs 2-4x/mth. That’s all it takes to start looking and feeling like a human animal. If this is too easy, good. It’s time to do more. More on that soon 💪🏻. **ra 😜

I like progress and (some) technology. But you know what, I think the ancients knew far better than we do, especially about spirituality and our physical bodies. Scientists tell us that the sun and red meat are bad, but processed food and sunscreens are good, yet we are fatter and sicker than ever before. Our T levels are tanked, we are hooked on p**n and soulless tinder-swiping. It’s Netflix over books and easy s**tty food over real foods. It’s the latest “science” of working out...blah blah blah. I’m going to eat like a human, train like a Greek hop-lite, love like a Ta***ic Sadhaka, sun my body(balls included) and continue to get stronger and healthier as I continue down this road called life. Join me 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻, or not, but get healthy it’s the real flex. **ra

Breath of Fire: This is a Kundalini Yoga breathing technique that has numerous purported benefits -
Detoxes lungs and blood/increases lung capacity/trains nervous system to have greater capacity to handle pleasure, anger, pain, stress, anxiety/balances sympathetic-parasympathetic systems/increases endurance/improves ability to handle fight or flight/ and more!!!
How this relates to helping you on the battlefield, in the boardroom or while rolling around in the hay should be obvious. I am by no means an expert in this technique but I practice daily. It’s amazing. Start with 3 min. You must be able to breathe diaphragmatically(belly out on inhale/belly in on exhale. This technique focuses on exhale with “automatic” inhale. Inhale/exhale length should be even. I will post more on this later. It was 35 degrees out for this video and I wasn’t cold at all...pretty cool!!

Lunch. On the go or not, I’m trying to eat like I killed it...Everyone from my Mother in Law to the girl at the take out window when I tell her I only need one fork, they can’t believe it’s just for me...my response: Mongol Warriors were famed for eating 4-5lbs of meat in a sitting, and they did alright.

You can have the gym...I’ll train in the elements. **ra

To all the homies that would commit felonies if one of us needed help...the guys that laid it on the line and chose discomfort and danger over “soft” and “weak”...to the warriors who don’t give a s**t about pronouns and participation, the real ones, who choose the arena as the place to do their talking, to the patriots who came back with their shield or on it. It’s an honor and a privilege to know ya, Gents.

Self Mastery: The ancient Greeks practiced calisthenics at open air gymnasiums where philosophy, the politics of the day(more civil than now) and more were discussed while building ones body. I believe mastering ones body in space is essential in mastering self control and building mental/emotional/physical strength and endurance. When you are strong and you know it, outside influence, group think and fear have less of a chance to overtake you. I am able to stand in the storm, not because I was born that way, but because my mistakes and failures have led me to forge myself this way. The 41 year old me would beat the s**t out of the 25 year old Sniper team leader I used to identify with so much. Cultivate your mind body and spirit. Master it. When the battles of life erupt, stand firm and hold the line. Hard body - soft heart - open mind.

Suns out, guns out. If you are paying attention, you have undoubtedly noticed the daily erosion of individual choice free from persecution. I feel like many otherwise good people lack the spine to resist the tides of lunacy. Frankly, that’s not a good enough excuse for men, fathers, husbands. You must learn to be strong, mentally and physically. I don’t care what your bank account says. If another man can physically take what he wants from you, you have work to do. The question is, can u resist the outside noise, face the mirror and see that you have work to do. Learn violence and strength. Harness them. That’s a good man, to paraphrase .b.peterson. Weak men are not good men, they have no choice. **t **ra

7/8/2004...Gone but not forgotten. Collier Barcus, Sniper 1/26IN KIA along with these other warriors. Collier was my solider, in my charge. I strive to live worthy of his sacrifice. The fire that burns in me for these men, my brothers in arms, and this nation is bright. The commies don’t know. F**k around and find out. Americans are buried all over the world in defense of the principles of freedom. Greed and s**t values have muddied the waters, but the real warriors still know. The losers who got rich off our blood sweat and tears are overstepping...don’t ever accept that you are broken or weak. Defeat your inner demons. Live worthy of their sacrifice. Stay ready. Til Valhalla.
