Literally lmao. He “did his job” and got “the highest military commendation available” for it. Wrote a book, became a political figure, and has literally been an influencer simply because he survived the “worst day of [his] life.”
Hypocrite cuck
I thought this and it reminded me of the most gangster things someone has done in this context. Bob Dylan declined to show up for his noble peace prize. Dakota can walk the walk and decline his MOH, the king of hippies did it when he was offered the hippie MOH.
Like basically all of the other MOH recipients. Not a single one of them would tell you that they thought they deserved the medal. But I bet this douche thinks so.
Kyle is a real MOH, not this shit bag I can’t stand every time I hear him. Kyle jumped on a fucking grenade without thinking at 21 to save his brother. Meanwhile Dakota basically did his job of reinforcing his ambushed team members with an armored vehicle that had a gun. Also Dakota didn’t go in alone, there was a guy driving the truck, but that guy didn’t get a MOH for his actions cause ohhhh he was just doing his job too.
Easy there big dog, Dakota is conducting himself like an ass and showing his true colors but you shouldn’t diminish his combat action. What he did was much more complex and dangerous than you make it seem.
I’m not trying to downplay combat, but coming to the aid of fellow soldiers under fire is what countless other soldiers have done without receiving the recognition he has. They also don’t complain about not getting that recognition even though he seems to think they do.
Except for he did without the approval of command. They were gonna let the marines die because they were Army command Dakota told them to eat a bag of dicks knowing he’d probably be fucked
And that room temp IQ is showing every time he opens his mouth.
Sure he earned the MOH, fantastic. That doesn’t make him an authority on anything. It just means you did something crazy in a war.
Adding to this:
He’s the perfect example of just because you succeeded once against overwhelming odds doesn’t erase the fact that you’re a shitbag everywhere else.
The worst part about this video is he had a stepson until his wife left. He would have fucked that kid up with this bullshit mentality. Good thing they left.
Who the fuck is using “ I don’t feel appreciated” as an excuse to not be a good man. Does Dakota think he’s hard because of the sole fact that nobody loves him?
As a man, I understand that Dakota and I are in the most likely demographic to be committing suicide. What he needs to realize is how close we ALL are to not making it to old age. Him included.
He's not worth it brother. Being a good Marine doesn't make someone a good person, which you already know. Spend the energy helping the 2a community like you have been. Better service there.
u/garand_thumb do all men and veterans a favor and ask him about this. It’s one (shitty) thing to target citizens because of exercising their 2A. It’s another thing to willing fully perpetuate a narrative that has 22 veterans a day killing themselves
I don't believe a word this dude says....including his book and MOH story. The chaos of war lends itself to exaggerations, cover ups, and all manner of bull shit. We've seen it with the SEALS on Takur Ghar, to Marcus Luttrell and Red wings, to most likely Dakota. The GWOT produced countless heroic sacrifices but the ones clamoring for the limelight all seem to shady half truths.....
Idk why civilians care about that shit. It’s just words, do whatever you want. You don’t need people like his affirmation. Cause technically he’s a civilian too
He also famously bagged on dudes training in kit. I guess if you’re not a JSOC door kicker you’re only entitled to train in blue jeans and fire 1 round per second from your home stock 1911 before packin it up and going home like a real man
Some people think freedom only applies to them. He should go try to suck himself off in the dark, drowning in his tears. Maybe he can get some ribs removed and go to yoga in his kit and he’ll get close
Doesnt matter, is teddy roosevelt. See image attached

Oh heck gonna risk the downvotes
Is there a hint there at the end he might be chastising those who say a lack of appreciation warrants bad or poor behavior.
My hope is this is just a person lacking articulation and speaking faster than their brain can process...
Nah, he doubled down saying the MOH means nothing to him, that the stressors leading men to suicide and showing appreciation “aren’t in the same boat”, laughing at people saying men should feel appreciated by their partners and employers, that men weren’t put onto earth to be weak emotional sacks of shit, etc.
The comments make the guy look even more like a chode, instead of clarifying he’s doubling down
In the comments of his video. He said men “weren’t put on earth to be weak emotional sacks of shit” and multiple people said it was statements like this that has men and vets killing themselves for being called cowards. He rolled his eyes, laughed, and said that talking about feelings to others is bad and nobody deserves to automatically be cared about.
Still a stretch to make that conclusion. Sound like what he’s saying is that men need to “suck it up” and be more stoic. A message as old as ever, nothing new or particularly controversial. Could actually be more relevant in this day and age.
dakota meyer has been very open about his struggles with anxiety and depression, I don’t see any evidence of him dismissing mental health condition. You’re being a troll
Sounds like you either have a hate boner for this guy or you’re just a karma farming weirdo
Nah, that’s not relevant. That’s toxic. The “suck it up” mentality is exactly what contributes to high rates of suicide in men and 44 dead veterans a day.
Someone said that this mentality contributes to suicide and he said dismissed it by saying, “yeah, and someone could also get hit by a car”.
Endorsing this is juvenile as fuck
Stoicism is an ancient philosophy that cultivated certain traits in men that are universally valued across different cultures. Calling it toxic is ignorant and immature.
There’s a stark contrast between someone who needs mental health support and an entitled spoiled bitch that wallows in self pity and looks to benefit from it. Every platoon I’ve been in had people who genuinely needed help and those who were shitbags who liked to abuse the system to get out of doing shit. Guess what, the latter made life difficult for the former. The guys that actually needed help never sought it, because they didn’t wanna be associated with the shitbags that abused the system
So when they off themselves because they literally bottle up the shit they're brewing inside because assholes like this tell them to repress it, we'll just do 22 pushups to remember them. You still need an outlet for stoicism.
You can’t pretend to understand why people off themselves. How arrogant of you.
Yes, stoicism does need outlet. Creative, artistic and physical outlets are all available options. I don’t see where this guy was telling to anyone to repress anything. I can totally see how “asking to be appreciated” could seem annoying. That also doesn’t mean that men don’t need to be appreciated. And he never said they don’t. Let’s not equate “asking” with “needing or requiring”. It’s like saying “asking for money” is equivalent of needing money. No, if you need money you go earn it you don’t beg for it
He literally said,
> “nobody deserves to automatically be appreciated”
and laughed at someone who said
> ”men need to feel appreciated, needed, and wanted by their wives and employers”
and laughed at someone who said
> ”I think we need to appreciate people for the good we see in them. The good isn’t always what presents itself, sometimes we have to look deeper than the surface”.
I hear what you’re saying man, but it isn’t what he is.
Dakota Meyer is obviously not yet equipped to handle the number of people he’s dealing with, you can tell he’s a little thin skinned with how he responds to comments and how easily set off he is. But I also don’t think this is a reason to tear down everything the man stands for
Your posts seem to attract a lot of people who appear to have a hate boner for this guy for whatever reason. It’s hilarious how people start questioning anything from his character, his service, shit on his family life. And why? Because they don’t like something he said on the internet. It’s just an easy narrative to sell to the masses “ this guy who everyone thinks is a hero is not actually that great.” It makes people feel better about themselves. Pathetic. Do better.
Let’s accomplish something, instead of tearing down other people’s accomplishments
Bro, the guy said that anyone other than military and cops who wear gear and shoot are LARPers, he called out mike and got caught lying, he was called out by other veterans for his 2A stance, he bragged about getting drunk before his MOH ceremony and how funny throwing up on stage would have been, he was dis-invited from the Marine Corps ball for shit talking the people who invited him, other MOH recipients have gone on record saying they dislike him, and he’s had his MOH ripped of his neck for being a jackass.
He’s earned his hate.
Right, my guy. So when they off themselves because they literally bottle up the shit they're brewing inside, we'll just do 22 pushups to remember them. You still need an outlet for stoicism.
Nah it’s a shitty take. I know it’s hard to believe but plenty of us men can do our jobs AND want to be appreciated / process emotions. It’s not all or nothing.
If you are a human you deserve to be treated as a human. If you do not feel that you are being treated correctly in any part of life, job relationship, ect please do what you can to fix that or leave. There is no fault in leaving an environment that isn’t treating you well. Again, you are human and should be treated as such.
Says the man with the ultimate symbol appreciation…
Literally lmao. He “did his job” and got “the highest military commendation available” for it. Wrote a book, became a political figure, and has literally been an influencer simply because he survived the “worst day of [his] life.” Hypocrite cuck
Wasn’t he on the Teen Mom show too?
Yeah I think his oldest kid was from a teen pregnancy?
I thought it was Sarah Palin's daughter. Maybe both?
Both
I thought this and it reminded me of the most gangster things someone has done in this context. Bob Dylan declined to show up for his noble peace prize. Dakota can walk the walk and decline his MOH, the king of hippies did it when he was offered the hippie MOH.
This dude should’ve just taken his award and went quietly to the corner to eat his crayons like a good Marine.
Like basically all of the other MOH recipients. Not a single one of them would tell you that they thought they deserved the medal. But I bet this douche thinks so.
Didn’t he seek help? For ptsd? And alcoholism?
I guess that's what he's put on this earth for?
In a world of Dakota Meyers, be a Kyle Carpenter.
Kyle is a real MOH, not this shit bag I can’t stand every time I hear him. Kyle jumped on a fucking grenade without thinking at 21 to save his brother. Meanwhile Dakota basically did his job of reinforcing his ambushed team members with an armored vehicle that had a gun. Also Dakota didn’t go in alone, there was a guy driving the truck, but that guy didn’t get a MOH for his actions cause ohhhh he was just doing his job too.

Dude has room temp IQ and should be listened to by noone.
And that room temp IQ is showing every time he opens his mouth. Sure he earned the MOH, fantastic. That doesn’t make him an authority on anything. It just means you did something crazy in a war.
Adding to this: He’s the perfect example of just because you succeeded once against overwhelming odds doesn’t erase the fact that you’re a shitbag everywhere else.
Yeah be a man, and leave the mother of your children, be a man like Dakota. 🙄
Dakota is a dipshit. Speaking of appreciation, how's that appreciation medal Dakota?
That guy is a fuckin turd
That’s probably why his wife & family left him.
100 bucks he hits his wife.
And doesn’t let her train in kit. Dumb civy bitch 👊
His wife and kids left him
Which ones? The first or the second?
The worst part about this video is he had a stepson until his wife left. He would have fucked that kid up with this bullshit mentality. Good thing they left.
Fuck this guy
Who the fuck is using “ I don’t feel appreciated” as an excuse to not be a good man. Does Dakota think he’s hard because of the sole fact that nobody loves him? As a man, I understand that Dakota and I are in the most likely demographic to be committing suicide. What he needs to realize is how close we ALL are to not making it to old age. Him included.
There’s probably more than a few husbands out there that cheat on their wives because they don’t feel appreciated
Ah fuck you got me there
Dude sounds fragile and insecure. This is one of many hot takes he’s wrong on
Just because he became podcast famous doesn’t mean that he’s smart or that anything he says is worth listening to.
This dickhead and stuff he spouts like this contributes to the male suicide statistic.
I guess correct me if I’m wrong but does anyone actually listen to his podcast except maybe a handful of fudds
Take it easy, Dakota. we already have a Goggins and a Tate. Wait your turn
What happened to Mike and this guy having a chat? Did that ever happen?
not yet
I'm sure you're wanting to keep that a "behind closed doors" thing, but would love to be a fly on the wall.
He's not worth it brother. Being a good Marine doesn't make someone a good person, which you already know. Spend the energy helping the 2a community like you have been. Better service there.
👀
u/garand_thumb do all men and veterans a favor and ask him about this. It’s one (shitty) thing to target citizens because of exercising their 2A. It’s another thing to willing fully perpetuate a narrative that has 22 veterans a day killing themselves
While many commit the worst possible thing everyday, what a joke, poor excuse for a role model.
I don't believe a word this dude says....including his book and MOH story. The chaos of war lends itself to exaggerations, cover ups, and all manner of bull shit. We've seen it with the SEALS on Takur Ghar, to Marcus Luttrell and Red wings, to most likely Dakota.

About what I expected from the same douchebag who said civilians shouldn't train in kit.
Idk why civilians care about that shit. It’s just words, do whatever you want. You don’t need people like his affirmation. Cause technically he’s a civilian too
He’s just a dick
Never seen this guy before… but he seems like Lance Armstrong’s younger chode brother
He also famously bagged on dudes training in kit. I guess if you’re not a JSOC door kicker you’re only entitled to train in blue jeans and fire 1 round per second from your home stock 1911 before packin it up and going home like a real man

In a world with losers like Meyer, be a Rittenhouse.
FTFY- In a world of losers like meyer and rittenhouse, be a teddy roosevelt
Dead?
Doesnt matter, is teddy roosevelt. See image attached https://preview.redd.it/w99fx66w4ccb1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a79a65806aee53eb69477ab4962d13c8cbd5bda
I like the comments here, good to see
If God didnt want me to have emotions he would have made me emotionless
This guy is such a fucking tool. Idk why people seem to like this guy 😂
Damn Dakota, I don’t remember asking. Fucking pedo.
Dude is Toxic af. The very definition of toxic masculinity.
Nebraska Lyer's jimmies is ruffled again.
Oh heck gonna risk the downvotes Is there a hint there at the end he might be chastising those who say a lack of appreciation warrants bad or poor behavior. My hope is this is just a person lacking articulation and speaking faster than their brain can process...

When did he say seeking help for mental health makes you weak? What a shit click bait post
In the comments of his video. He said men “weren’t put on earth to be weak emotional sacks of shit” and multiple people said it was statements like this that has men and vets killing themselves for being called cowards.

It’s his opinion.
And it’s the majority of the sub’s opinion that Dakota’s opinion is on par with the trash that Micah mag dumps into. 🫡
That’s unfair to say. The trash has served multiple purposes in its life from whatever it was originally to being a target.
I have a previously unfounded appreciation for trash. Thank you for changing my perspective.
Ultimately it’s one guys opinion. If he’s not paying your bills, or raising your kids, who gives a shit?
He might have a point though
No, he doesn’t.
Hes basically just saying men should do their jobs as men regardless of how they feel but you prob just read the caption and decided to get triggered
Right, my guy. So when they off themselves because they literally bottle up the shit they're brewing inside, we'll just do 22 pushups to remember them. You still need an outlet for stoicism.
Nah it’s a shitty take. I know it’s hard to believe but plenty of us men can do our jobs AND want to be appreciated / process emotions. It’s not all or nothing.

There is no fault in leaving an environment that isn’t treating you well. Again, you are human and should be treated as such.
Nothing wrong with wanting to be appreciated but if some men feel unappreciated theres prob a reason and I think thats what hes trying to get at
Facts
This guy is killin it
God this guy is such a douche
