11:08 Do you really need an expert to see that? No foreign army in the middle east archieved anything besides keeping the gouvernments up, but that doesnt fucking help, because the gouvernments in these countries cant do shit.
Thank you for your service but it sounds like the Australian Squad needs better training beings they suffered the most casualties, more then Americans, and everyone else in Iraq
Talk to professor John Patton at cal state Fullerton he is a evolutionary anthropologist/ psychologist who specializes in tribal warfare. Very interesting comparisons from today’s violence with tribes in South America, Africa, and New Guninea.
Why does that makes so much sense like you're right like we want to end the violence and end the evil people but we don't want to become them or be in their shoes after they're gone you know but this comment really spoke to me
@@MikeBison_ Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
@ Motodownhiller. Sir, I agree with you and I would like to believe that "language" understood by the bully can be most persuasive/effective when you have the right perspective. In his case however violence was indispensable, I think.
These "evil" people think they are fighting invaders. So what makes them evil? Stop drinking the kool-aid and think. You have been bought by propaganda.
+Nolsy I think you are missing the point of his comment, it doesn't matter what is true, it matters what people _think_ is true. And generally people think it's true that *their team* is "gooder" than the other team. *Heck even many Nazi soldiers for crying out loud honestly believed they were on the good side!* Let me ask you this: Is drone striking civilians good? The answer is easy, it's short and it's no. Is double tapping a target to purposefully kill emergency personnel good? That answer is just as easy, it's pure evil. Yet, you will be coming up with all kinds of excuses and legitimisations for doing it, for one reason and one reason only, because it's *our team* is doing it. And they do the same, and it's that narrative the enemy, all enemies, have. Until you understand that almost all enemies and "evil forces", genuinely think they are a force for good, you are doomed to never solve anything.
@@maxinvasionleet well, perhaps you should read up on things before saying such things. Try " the kite runner" by Khaled Houseini. You will learn how much Afghans hate the Taliban and what they did. Or still do. There are genarations of Afghans that never knew peace. First there where the Brits, then the Russians and then the Americans. In between difrent warlords fighting for power. And now the taliban, IS and who knows what. So yeah. Perhaps they are just mad at all of them. Hard to see who wants to help you when they all apply deadly force.
I remember when I was in primary school there was a bigger kid that used to pick on others and they keep on doing it because the other kids were scared and did not do anything back. He would keep on bullying smaller kids even after the teachers warned him. Unfortunately for that kid he picked on me on that one day. At that time I was practising kick boxing for 2 years. As soon he approached me I was prepare and wasn't intimidated. I gave him a round kick to the head and knocked him out unconscious. After that day, he never bullied anyone again. Looking back I shouldn't have done it that way as I might have killed him or caused serious injury as his head hit the concrete on the way down. Luckily for me, he wasn't seriously hurt. Just knocked out for a few minutes and there were no complaints.
@@damiann4734 why do people love detailing their 'i beat up a bully' story all over the internet? Nobody cares about the little details or about you trying to look tough. It's just embarrassing seeing someone describe it in such detail like anyone else cares. If you knew anything about real violence you wouldn't even mention a story like that in such detail thinking that you're awesome.
He's spot on When he mentioned he can't look at violence the same as others. I joined the Australian Army in 1994 (discharged in 2012) The way I would explain to someone is Remember a time when you heard the funniest joke of your life and then heard a few other jokes straight after. The other jokes, although funny in their own right, just don't make you laugh as hard. In a Contact you bring the beast, Your beast must be harder and tougher than your opponent enough to achieve the task and move on. In contact sports there is a limit that you do not pass. Each fighter knows the goal and will bring their beast to be better than the other. I usually get an uncontrollable smirk on my face when I hear a fighter mention the word "Kill" in any of the pre-fight commentary. Wars are begun by people who are either too old to fight or can't fight themselves. Wars are a Failure of Diplomacy much like a fist fight. Bullies are shit at Diplomacy. A Soldier is not a politician and a politician is not a soldier so in that case We are taught "controlled aggression" A Beast I'am Lest a Beast I become. To be angry is easy and natural but to be angry at the right target, the right reason, the right level and for the right amount of time is the challenge we all face.
Michael Stott I’m a lot more peaceful with a gun For some odd reason without it.. I’m violent.. Maybe it’s human nature or the instinct Or maybe it’s just me I don’t know
The word "violence" comes from the word "violate". Two men agreeing to be paid to fight in a ring is not violence because no one is being violated. Self defense is NOT violence. The attacker is committing violence, the defender is using "defensive force". English speaking people don't even understand the words they use daily or the root words and meanings that they come from. That's why we're so easily tricked and deceived in the "legal" relm because the words used in law are defined differently than what the common public understanding of the words are.
I'm crying in a corner While i count my money: A firearm is powerful, an extension to your capabilities and for some who see it as a tool for protection it's a last resort in situations. I gather you are proficient with your firearm(s) and you are quite prepared to use it if there was ever that unfortunate need to do so. Merely showing a weapon to others is a deterrent for them; My guess is if you ever felt the need to produce your Firearm you mean business. When you mention "Instinct" does that come form Military experience? I know for a long time I felt "Weird" not having a weapon near me especially straight after coming home from a deployment. Or does the instinct come from the environment you live in now? I don't know where you live but in Australia the Gun Culture here has always been very different. I grew up around firearms living in small rural towns and even after the so called "Gun Ban" everyone around us still had firearms legally. The environment I live in now isn't a violent place. Do you go to a range? I feel a good deal of peace at firing ranges, calm and collected and it's a place where safety is strict. Funny enough, through my work as a Counsellor now I can see why. Breathing and deep focus activities calm the mind and Marksmanship principles offer many of those things with a concrete visual result (if you breath to calm down, focus on the target your shooting can be scored)
Gadsden Jim: you make an excellent Academic argument. One might even say that an emergency medical procedure can be "violating" CPR is exacting force upon a persons ribcage, in some cases there is a risk you can brake a rib maybe two trying to resus a casualty, they are of course in no state to protest. Looking at the word from a Subjective view both fighters intend to do harm to each each other, spectators have an expectation of what will happen but they can be surprised at a certain blow, kick etc that renders the opponent incapable of defending or to get back up from. The fighters can be surprised as well. Yes both have consented to inflict harm and understand they will be harmed but none of them go into a ring expecting to get knocked down. In a subjective view of the word Violence; it is not the action that shocks or traumatises us, it is our perception of the action. You can see how a person will fight knowing the other person on the other side is trying to kill you. No one on a battlefield wants to die but they need to be prepared to kill to make sure that does not happen to them and their team. Each side is defending themselves violently. Words have an academic and subjective use so you are definitely right and accurate in your point and I can agree with it in an academic sense but subjectively, opinions and peoples personal experiences are important to look at when someone is talking from their point of view. The realm of law is academic which is why it is important that at the start of of any journal there is a definition of how certain words are used and you may see this happen all the way through in foot notes or a glossary. This is what is called the Academic culture so that people can understand the use of certain words and place it into context so that the writing is understood by the reader.
Michael Stott yeah, but when I'm referring to "self defense" I'm not really referring to war on a battlefield. Though even then it does apply, the aggressor or invading force is committing "violence" the defending force is not violating the aggressor or invaders they are simply using "defensive force" to stop the "violation". Get what I'm saying?
This guy strangled a Taliban fighter. An Army Ranger killed another fighter with an MRE spoon. A British SAS trooper killed some ISIS cat with a shovel. Multiple DEVGRU operators have been killing insurgents with tomahawks. I say that we just create a real-life Rainbow Six unit and send these guys to wreck shit up
while some of those are spur of the moment choices, using tomahawks is actually a big problem. Australian special forces in the last few months have come under a lot of scrutiny because of unnecessary brutality and unlawful killings, the same problems showing up in special branches for many other countries too. This isn't the direct fault of the soldiers as much as mission creep and strategic ambiguity but confusing discriminate violence with battle lust is dangerous, he even tries to get that point across.
NeonSm1le True. There was an article about the bad shit that happens and has happened with DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six if you’re not familiar, I feel like you’re an Aussie lol). The tomahawk bit I mentioned was very controversial because people argued “fight fire with fire” like how SEALs did in Vietnam, but others said that we as Americans should be more professional than our enemies even in battle. IMO using tomahawks as revenge is one of those things that while it makes sense, we shouldn’t sink to that level
People would like to think that these guy are braver that the Taliban but would they have fight like the Taliban if they have the Taliban weapons and the Taliban had there.
Getting violent with peaceful, innocent people is an act of barbarism; getting violent with people who prey on peaceful, innocent people is an act of virtue.
It's the fact he probably just really wanted to choke someone out and i love how he just keeps him there cause if he really,really honestly felt the urge to do it that reporter is shit out of look.
Codgerism first off, theyre MMA fighters not UFC fighters. Second that was Brazilian jiu jitsu not MMA. Although bjj is a big part of MMA, chokes and submissions aren’t unique to MMA
As a cop and Marine, I've become extremely desensitized to violence and trauma. The other day I saw a man that was recently stabbed in the chest. He was bleeding out in the street. Instead of thinking about how I could help him, I was thinking about who's sector I was in and if I had to write the report. I obviously helped him but I've become very cynical. I'm still deeply affected when bad things happen to children and the elderly. When that doesn't bother me, I will quit my job.
@@ronnypickering5844 all cops eventually think like this. I'll help anyone, that needs it. I'm just used to seeing trauma... and no one should get used to that. We just learn to compartmentalize things. It's human nature to ignore the bad and focus on the good. I wrote that comment 4 years ago. I've recently discovered that talking about some of the messed up stuff we deal with is actually a good way to offload it. No one is perfect for this job, if you are, you're probably a psychopath.
To any kids watching tht are gonna start doing triangle chokes on their friends or little sibling, DO NOT hold the choke longer than 6-10 seconds please, you will damage the brain, thanks.
Mate, do you do BJJ? the likelihood of them being able to successfully apply the choke properly is very low. Sure they get one leg over, one under but thats as far as theyll know what to do. You aint choking anyone without the rest of whats required, just uncomfortable...
@@trtvitor5837 it's more the technique tbh. Do you do BJJ? Just a question, not inflammatory 🙂 look up how to do a triangle choke, you'd be surprised how much goes into it to actually make it effective enough to cut off the carotid arteries and/or stop breathing.
@@tooovivid yeah I've done it for most of my life, and I guess what I meant by it being quite easy is it really isn't that complex to grasp, sure positioning, posture control etc takes time, but for most beginner's I teach, (I sometimes take classes at the gym I go to) they seem to grasp it fairly quickly, obviously on an opponent not fully resisting
"You talk to them in the same language they speak" I have to agree with that statement. I was bullied for 4 years. It only took me beating up the bully once to never get bullied again.
@Xhade Brinsbane I mean, maybe not the actual military. We do have a mercenary problem though. A bunch of edgy rich teens who want to simulate call of duty armed with heavy weaponry... Well, that's not really a good mix.
The profession of Arms. The profession of Killing. "The only reason good people sleep safely at night is because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf"... Kipling. Thank you for your efforts and sacrifices SGT. "Lest we forget" ...
3:09 is everything you need to know about Australian military culture. Paul - Do you want to fall unconscious? Vice guy - ahhhhh Paul - it's funny! Vice guy - yeah all right
Amazing personality. Hardened inside-out by warfare. Thanks to all such people who willingly lose a part of themselves there so that we keep our lives here.
Sometimes the place is nasty and savage already, you are not responsible for others behaviour. And you don’t always have a teacher, a manger, or a policeman to help you in life you know
Bullies aren't created at at school or among friends bullies are made at home. I taught all 3 of my boys to lay a bully out right off the bat. They all were bullied one time and that was it. And they was suspended 1 time threw school.
He reminds me of my father. My father is retired US Army Special Forces. When I was a boy I often attracted bullies as I was quite small and one day I came home pretty scuffed up. He told me, "you better be able to run fast or learn how to fight".... I ran once and they caught me. LOL From that day forward he started teaching me to fight and later he took me to a martial arts school. It did not take long before I had a reputation for being the small kid with a solid set of hands and my bullies became fewer and fewer until I was never bullied again.
Dwight Hayes I started martial arts at 10 as well because I knew I’d be in fights or picked on once in Junior High. I wasn’t a small kid and by 13 I was the biggest kid but I wasn’t someone people would avoid either ... I stayed in for 20 years of various martial arts and teaching it and it was one of the best things I ever did in my life. Pays off in spades in so many different ways. My son is 4 and I can’t wait to teach him one day.
Pedantic Pete I too started just before I was 10. I had big shoes to fill with an SF operator as a father and an uncle that was also a 2nd degree Taekwondo practicioner. I later joined the Army when I turned 17 and drifted in and out of various fighting styles. Also moving from place to place and being raised in a black neighborhood back in the days before the bastard sons of single mothers and shootings... You had to know how to fight. LOL I look forward to having children to set them on the same path. The life lessons and discipline are fundamental for so many other things.
"If you're overwhelmed you won't do anything ...you'll just become..... prey." "The solution bullying is to learn how to stop bullies...you talk to them in the same language they speak. The first time I was violent towards a bully...I was never bullied again." An inverted way of speaking the wisdom of Sun Tsu on using, quickly deployed over whelming force once it is known that force is required. The mongols controlled most of the world in their time because they did this. The Nazi's found early success in world war II when they applied it (Blitzkrieg) Go hard or go home.
You only get bullied if you allow them to.. the more you cower the more theyll come for you.. im not sayin to be violent but at least learn to stand for yourself..
Winning hearts and minds of people is one thing, fighting a war against terrorists is another thing. You can't debate with extremists or terrorists, they believe in hate and end of the world/doomsday scenarios.
The hearts and minds is for those not radicalized yet to harm their ability to recruit by reducing the enemies propaganda and making it very clear who's the good guys, it's just one side of the equation all movements require proper application of both diplomacy and violence
Very true, unless you live that life for sometime, you wont completely understand, im not putting people down for not being able to get their head around the facts, its not a life for everyone. Most of the time the general public never hears about anything that the spec ops lads do, they're not about public relations and glossing over the facts of conflict, they are the people who do the dirty work that others can't manage. Too many have an opinion over the work they do, without understanding their role, as others have said before..."we do bad things to bad people"!. Ive worked side by side with these people( spec ops from different countries), most don't want attention or people treating them any different to other soldiers, they just enjoy their work. These lads play an important role in controlling terrorism world wide, be it in war zones or in everyday life, people paint them as monsters, but we'd be screwed without them. Ive never cared about what anti military loonys think about spec ops, as nearly all of them have'nt got the balls to fight for their countries, they'd rather march through a city carrying badly painted signs in protest of the latest "injustice trend"!!. All the best matey.
Not really. Telling exactly what goes on in a warzone 24/7 is just violating OPSEC and putting free intel for the enemy out there. You can sit here and invoke your fucky boogeyman all you want but if you would use simple reasoning and logic you would see why we can't just broadcast and entire war like we did in Vietnam. Operating in secrecy is the best way.
@@hellbillyaustin6883 Special Forces are necessary in some cases but you have to realise that the War on Terror started after 9/11 which was a false flag attack. So these soldiers are in Afghanistan based off of lies.
Goddamn hero that bloke is. Thank you for everything mate, I certainly don’t take for granted what you or any past or present soldier has done for the greatest country on earth 🇦🇺🇦🇺 keep it up legend
Sgt Cale defined the military a way rarely said, and I appreciate him for that. Military should not act as "peacekeeper" or "nation rebuilding". Military is suppose to be used to export violence. If war is not the goal, send someone else. Soldiers being mandate to not chamber a round, or keep weapon on safe until engaged is deadly to the troops. Either you trust therm without question or you don't. The sergeant speaks of "talking the same language". He is not apologetic. He is more likely to thrive and not have life ending mental Heath problems. He understand his job, he is balanced as a person. War is to destroy a threat then leave and not stay and become stagnant. If I lived in a country destroyed by an enemy I would of course not like them. But, to have a foreign power stay in my country and control me is something I may develop a seething hatred for. Thanks Sgt Cale
@shalom I agree. The extreme version of that is the nuke. If all goes well, it'll *never* get used (or god help us all, we have a problem). But it exists primarily so it shouldn't get used, and the only way to ensure that is to make sure the other guy is 100% convinced you WILL in fact use it if provoked. So with the US and Russia really making it clear, they'll nuke, ideally both will do their damndest to make sure 1) Their nuke is always visibly primed, 2) Never ever let shit get out of hand so it has to be fired. Mutual assaured destruction. Or as Ozzty Ozbourne put it "Thank god for the bomb" (Becaue its why we never had world war III). Of course the whole assumption dies, if some mad fucker actually pushes the button. Personally though, I'd rather risk not having them. The consequences of MAD failing are faaaar too grave
+Isiah 6:8 The guy hardly sleeps, and when he does he is drugged up on sleep meds, where in that did you find "a balanced person". Do you think he was going to spill his guts and be completely honest in this interview like he was talking to a psychiatrist? He is literally making a living from his "though guy" image, why would he damage that for a few mins on Vice? *I bet he stares into the eyes of that Afghan father every time he closes his own eyes, and yeah that will probably fuck with your sleep.* Unless you are a psychopath, killing human beings WILL give you mental health problems on some level. In other words, if you came home from a brutal war and was perfectly fine, THAT would have been the evidence that you are in fact not fine. You are either completely blocked off from your own humanity, or you are a psychopath, and there is sadly no shortage of those in the military, they make excellent snipers for instance.
He has come to peace with what he has done. Of course anyone who has been to war will suffer to one degree or the next. That is the price you pay for defending your nation. You learn to live with it. Medication helps but you have to come to terms with yourself. Having a good woman at home who understand helps a ton!
Actually, the weapon on safe thing is more for ensuring you don't have a missfire when in extreme or stressful situations. Like if you are running through a field, you trip, fall, and your finger accidentally pulls the trigger in the process. Or if you are in a crash or near some kind of explosion. Coincidentally, I was watching war footage of the civil war in Ukraine. On GoPro footage, a Ukrainian soldier actually had a missfire just from picking up his rifle wrong. He fired into the dirt, but his comrade was literally feet away. I understand that it is a concept that takes getting used to and drilling to ALWAYS remember to disengage the safety. But there is actually logic to why our military really emphasizes weapon on safe unless ready to engage. Though, I do agree that if you have a firearm on you, not having a round in the chamber is like trying to put on your seatbelt right before a crash is about to happen. You probably won't react fast enough. All that being said, I don't care who you are, taking a human life will change anyone. They may not talk about it, but it isn't something you brush off. Even when you are justified.
I've met the guy, he's not weird. To an ordinary person, maybe he'd seem emotionally distant, but you have to understand that within the context of his experiences and how that fits in with today's sheltered society. Being at the absolute peak of any elite military organisation requires being a different breed of human. He's not 'weird', he's cut from a different cloth.
Amazing how childhood traumas can drive one's entire life in a single direction. Life is like a fractal. Yet, I'm also amazed and impressed at how level headed and human this guy is, despite his past.
What? I have always thought the consensus for VICE's video documentaries (not their shitty "news" subsidiary videos and media) was that they were pretty cool and usually unorthodox and always informational. I personally enjoy their military related documentaries.
Yeah, I agree about the violence being necessary. The tricky part is to harm the bully in the way that doesn't land yourself into life-ruining trouble. I think thats the hardest.
I have gone to two paul cale seminars, I've never been more aware of another human's ability to kill me and I've been around the best fighters in australia. There's never been that same aura of quiet unassuming menace, that knowledge that, not only does he know various ways to kill me, but he's already thought of exactly how he'd do it to me.
5:27 that's 100% true tho. I used to get bullied a lot so when i started doing kickboxing i knocked this guy one day and i've never been bullied since. I really like the way how he phrases it: "talk back in the same language as they do"
My experience with bullying agrees with Paul's experience. If you're bullied arm yourself with knowledge and abilities to stand up and defend yourself.Violent people only respect people who appear stronger.I was taught to be a pacifist, not to hit anyone ever. My school, my parents never taught me the truth about violence and violent people. As of today I'm still working on my fear of loosing control over my aggression. I fear I would kill people if I loose control.
I know your comment may just seem edgy to some, but I do agree with what you're saying. People fail to realize how easy it is to badly injure someone, even by accident. I've never got into any fights, and I always do my best to avoid them even if it means looking like a coward. I once did punch a dude in the face who was trying to mug me lol, but as soon as he hit the ground I ran away as fast as I could since I didn't know if he had a knife on him.. Better safe than sorry kids
Have to agree, i had a kid whipping me with a branch when i was younger, i asked him to stop several times, tried to turn the other cheek to endure it hoping he'd get bored and move on...he didn't, instead of making a mental decision and gaining the ability to stop him i let it go till i was watching stuff play out that i couldn't control, its a weird feeling like watching out a small window from the middle of a dark room. Luckily i only knocked the wind out of him, but when i was punching and i was in the middle of my dark room i still did not want to hurt the kid but there was nothing i could do to stop it. I could have done anything, or likewise had anything done to me, so i can understand a bit when people kill others in stressful situations...sometimes its not really them. Much better to have the strength and skills and make a conscious decision to use violence before you lose that decision completely and possibly do more damage to yourself or others than is needed.
SO WHAT!! My brother was born with no arms and no legs, and yet he managed to climb Mount Everest using Just his eyelashes !! Unfortunately he was a few feet from the top when he suddenly sneezed and fell to his death... RIP brother
That's nothing. My brother, no arms, no legs, swam around the world - they call him, clever Dick. He ain't no quitter, he's still paddling the oceans as we speak. Peace to you, my brother.
When I was about 18 years old, I had a boss who was a WW2 veteran. One day, he told me a story about one of the instructors he had during his training. This man had fought in the trenches in France during the First World War and while he was there, he had been bayoneted by a German soldier. He told the young men he was giving bayonet training to that when he recovered from his wounds, he was returned to the front lines and thought he would never get over the sheer terror he had experienced when he saw the German running at him with a fixed bayonet. Somehow he did and he told the new recruits that it was his job to make sure that none of them would ever experience that sort of fear. He was, apparently, a pretty scary old bloke and my boss said that even though they weren't using real bayonets, he still managed to put the fear of God in every one of them when he ran at them with a fixed dummy bayonet. They were so sure he was going to kill them. The final outcome was, according to my boss, that most of these young men were, eventually, able to stand their ground and defend themselves and finally get the better of their instructor. When that happened, my boss said it was the most quietly satisfying thing he ever did in his six years in the army. He said that no one was boastful or bragging about it, but they were all now confident they knew how to handle that sort of situation and come out on top. The irony of the whole thing was that when my boss finished his training, he was posted to Small Ships in the Pacific theatre and hardly heard an angry shot fired for the rest of the war!
While I am completely against violence and it really makes me sad to see it, I also have to admit this man made me think. He is not just a regular guy who likes to beat up people, he understands it and has perfect control over himself. Still, I think it is quite disturbing that we are all used to seeing violence (if nothing else, then on TV - in movies, cartoons, and news). How can we expect no violence if we grow up being surrounded by violence?
Try to understand that most children grow us with real violence on their door steps. In the world violence is everywhere. Thet you are not exposed on a daily basis is a good thing but don't think it is normal.
No violence is an impossibility. How in the fuck can you "expect" no violence? Glad to see you thinking a little more rationally, but you have still got quite a way to go.
No, war is not in our nature. We are afraid of losing our life, our houses, our children. No normal human wants to go to war. There is violence in various forms for various reasons but don't be paranoid, be reasonable, don't censor but educate and stay as you are: completely against violence!
“The first time I was violent to a bully, I was never bullied again” I was bullied by a guy 4 years older at school every day, until the day I stopped and hit him back. Problem solved.

This reporter starts off by saying he has lived a life of violence, but when he interviews the soldier, he doesn't speak like he knows violence. He is very naive.
Frankly I think it's a crime that we lose more servicemen to suicide than combat, imo these are no different than if a soldier came home wounded and died for lack of medical care. I know an ex-sas guy.. he's not doing great.
Yeah it's a pretty hit and miss affair with diggers' care...some get great treatment and others not enough. They need to fix it. Once upon a time, Repat / DVA was a gold plated service - nothing was too good for the diggers. Seems that's changed in the last 20 or so years.
That story of the father and son. Right there is a lifelong case of ptsd. I hope he is looking after himself. Because these guys either deal with the trauma as an illness and have it treated or they do themselves in.
The narrative you see, is a different narrative he perceives, they purposely put a Middle Eastern man to interview him cause both have been brought up in the same beautiful country but both have been fed the different source. The negative stigma of the west is rampant among many cultures, it's just a matter of time to see what we have sowed.
White European west was too busy with religion while the Arabs and Persians were making scientific advances in the 11th century. Without Arabs, Europeans wouldn't have the idea of how to control an Empire, civilisation and humanity was born in the Middle East, and I guess it's slowly ending there.
@Ric Sims And it if it wasn't for the debilitating marriage of Church and state, I can't even imagine where Europe would be today. We can delve into rhetorics all day. Unfortunately, it doesn't help the current situation.
"Respect the man who accomplishes the mission without violence." And how is a Special Forces soldier tasked with eliminating Taliban leadership supposed to do his job without using violence? Lol
Its so refreshing to see a real Man that makes no excuses. Ive been an advanced Black Belt since 1991 so I enjoyed his skill set. We need to get back to that mindset as a society if we wish to continue and exist.
5:34 Straight facts right there, schools try to implement other ways to stop kids from picking on one another. The real and most effective solution is to do to them what they do to you. its simple.
No really, look up Australian military history in Vietnam. They where a damn sight better at killing than the yanks where. Even the American commanders commented publicly multiple times on the fact. Macnamara in particular.

You mean more casualties than any other Aus military unit.
Thank you for your service but it sounds like the Australian Squad needs better training beings they suffered the most casualties, more then Americans, and everyone else in Iraq
Talk to professor John Patton at cal state Fullerton he is a evolutionary anthropologist/ psychologist who specializes in tribal warfare. Very interesting comparisons from today’s violence with tribes in South America, Africa, and New Guninea.

"You want to end evil people but you don't want to become evil..."
A very humble statement,
A very ignorant statement.
Mr Sneaky Shadow very akin to the ‘the abyss stares back’ phrase
Why does that makes so much sense like you're right like we want to end the violence and end the evil people but we don't want to become them or be in their shoes after they're gone you know but this comment really spoke to me
MLK???
@@MikeBison_ Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

if you want to stop your bully you need to speak to him in the language he understands...fact.
there is so much wisdom in this one comment! thank you sir.
@ Motodownhiller. Sir, I agree with you and I would like to believe that "language" understood by the bully can be most persuasive/effective when you have the right perspective. In his case however violence was indispensable, I think.
Yeah speak with a gun in hand then shoot his calves and watch him try to crawl away in agony.
People change so much after getting shot. Lol
He is right indeed, it took me too long to figure this out
Happy Bear butthurt is strong with this one lol
" you want to end evil people, but not become evil in the process." I like that.
These "evil" people think they are fighting invaders. So what makes them evil? Stop drinking the kool-aid and think. You have been bought by propaganda.
maxinvasionleet so why do they go around shooting little girls who want to go to school?
Nietzchesque
+Nolsy I think you are missing the point of his comment, it doesn't matter what is true, it matters what people _think_ is true. And generally people think it's true that *their team* is "gooder" than the other team. *Heck even many Nazi soldiers for crying out loud honestly believed they were on the good side!* Let me ask you this: Is drone striking civilians good? The answer is easy, it's short and it's no. Is double tapping a target to purposefully kill emergency personnel good? That answer is just as easy, it's pure evil. Yet, you will be coming up with all kinds of excuses and legitimisations for doing it, for one reason and one reason only, because it's *our team* is doing it. And they do the same, and it's that narrative the enemy, all enemies, have.
Until you understand that almost all enemies and "evil forces", genuinely think they are a force for good, you are doomed to never solve anything.
@@maxinvasionleet well, perhaps you should read up on things before saying such things. Try " the kite runner" by Khaled Houseini. You will learn how much Afghans hate the Taliban and what they did. Or still do. There are genarations of Afghans that never knew peace. First there where the Brits, then the Russians and then the Americans. In between difrent warlords fighting for power. And now the taliban, IS and who knows what. So yeah. Perhaps they are just mad at all of them. Hard to see who wants to help you when they all apply deadly force.
I agree with his solution to bullying.
I remember when I was in primary school there was a bigger kid that used to pick on others and they keep on doing it because the other kids were scared and did not do anything back. He would keep on bullying smaller kids even after the teachers warned him. Unfortunately for that kid he picked on me on that one day. At that time I was practising kick boxing for 2 years. As soon he approached me I was prepare and wasn't intimidated. I gave him a round kick to the head and knocked him out unconscious. After that day, he never bullied anyone again. Looking back I shouldn't have done it that way as I might have killed him or caused serious injury as his head hit the concrete on the way down. Luckily for me, he wasn't seriously hurt. Just knocked out for a few minutes and there were no complaints.
@@damiann4734 why do people love detailing their 'i beat up a bully' story all over the internet? Nobody cares about the little details or about you trying to look tough. It's just embarrassing seeing someone describe it in such detail like anyone else cares.
If you knew anything about real violence you wouldn't even mention a story like that in such detail thinking that you're awesome.
@Zubeen Bhuiyan yeah children deserve to die right? You're a bully yourself it sounds like
Ben Potter I thought it was a good story, you good bro? Sounding kind of depressed over there in the Quarantine Corner

He's spot on When he mentioned he can't look at violence the same as others. I joined the Australian Army in 1994 (discharged in 2012) The way I would explain to someone is
Remember a time when you heard the funniest joke of your life and then heard a few other jokes straight after. The other jokes, although funny in their own right, just don't make you laugh as hard.
In a Contact you bring the beast, Your beast must be harder and tougher than your opponent enough to achieve the task and move on. In contact sports there is a limit that you do not pass. Each fighter knows the goal and will bring their beast to be better than the other. I usually get an uncontrollable smirk on my face when I hear a fighter mention the word "Kill" in any of the pre-fight commentary. Wars are begun by people who are either too old to fight or can't fight themselves. Wars are a Failure of Diplomacy much like a fist fight. Bullies are shit at Diplomacy. A Soldier is not a politician and a politician is not a soldier so in that case We are taught "controlled aggression" A Beast I'am Lest a Beast I become. To be angry is easy and natural but to be angry at the right target, the right reason, the right level and for the right amount of time is the challenge we all face.
Michael Stott
I’m a lot more peaceful with a gun
For some odd reason without it.. I’m violent..
Maybe it’s human nature or the instinct
Or maybe it’s just me I don’t know
The word "violence" comes from the word "violate". Two men agreeing to be paid to fight in a ring is not violence because no one is being violated. Self defense is NOT violence. The attacker is committing violence, the defender is using "defensive force". English speaking people don't even understand the words they use daily or the root words and meanings that they come from. That's why we're so easily tricked and deceived in the "legal" relm because the words used in law are defined differently than what the common public understanding of the words are.
I'm crying in a corner While i count my money: A firearm is powerful, an extension to your capabilities and for some who see it as a tool for protection it's a last resort in situations.
I gather you are proficient with your firearm(s) and you are quite prepared to use it if there was ever that unfortunate need to do so. Merely showing a weapon to others is a deterrent for them; My guess is if you ever felt the need to produce your Firearm you mean business. When you mention "Instinct" does that come form Military experience? I know for a long time I felt "Weird" not having a weapon near me especially straight after coming home from a deployment. Or does the instinct come from the environment you live in now? I don't know where you live but in Australia the Gun Culture here has always been very different. I grew up around firearms living in small rural towns and even after the so called "Gun Ban" everyone around us still had firearms legally. The environment I live in now isn't a violent place. Do you go to a range? I feel a good deal of peace at firing ranges, calm and collected and it's a place where safety is strict. Funny enough, through my work as a Counsellor now I can see why. Breathing and deep focus activities calm the mind and Marksmanship principles offer many of those things with a concrete visual result (if you breath to calm down, focus on the target your shooting can be scored)
Gadsden Jim: you make an excellent Academic argument. One might even say that an emergency medical procedure can be "violating" CPR is exacting force upon a persons ribcage, in some cases there is a risk you can brake a rib maybe two trying to resus a casualty, they are of course in no state to protest. Looking at the word from a Subjective view both fighters intend to do harm to each each other, spectators have an expectation of what will happen but they can be surprised at a certain blow, kick etc that renders the opponent incapable of defending or to get back up from. The fighters can be surprised as well. Yes both have consented to inflict harm and understand they will be harmed but none of them go into a ring expecting to get knocked down. In a subjective view of the word Violence; it is not the action that shocks or traumatises us, it is our perception of the action. You can see how a person will fight knowing the other person on the other side is trying to kill you. No one on a battlefield wants to die but they need to be prepared to kill to make sure that does not happen to them and their team. Each side is defending themselves violently. Words have an academic and subjective use so you are definitely right and accurate in your point and I can agree with it in an academic sense but subjectively, opinions and peoples personal experiences are important to look at when someone is talking from their point of view. The realm of law is academic which is why it is important that at the start of of any journal there is a definition of how certain words are used and you may see this happen all the way through in foot notes or a glossary. This is what is called the Academic culture so that people can understand the use of certain words and place it into context so that the writing is understood by the reader.
Michael Stott yeah, but when I'm referring to "self defense" I'm not really referring to war on a battlefield. Though even then it does apply, the aggressor or invading force is committing "violence" the defending force is not violating the aggressor or invaders they are simply using "defensive force" to stop the "violation". Get what I'm saying?
This guy strangled a Taliban fighter. An Army Ranger killed another fighter with an MRE spoon. A British SAS trooper killed some ISIS cat with a shovel. Multiple DEVGRU operators have been killing insurgents with tomahawks. I say that we just create a real-life Rainbow Six unit and send these guys to wreck shit up
while some of those are spur of the moment choices, using tomahawks is actually a big problem. Australian special forces in the last few months have come under a lot of scrutiny because of unnecessary brutality and unlawful killings, the same problems showing up in special branches for many other countries too. This isn't the direct fault of the soldiers as much as mission creep and strategic ambiguity but confusing discriminate violence with battle lust is dangerous, he even tries to get that point across.
There was another SAS who killed 3 ISIS fighters with a hammer in some tunnels or some shit lol not long ago
A close quarter melee kill is like an initiatory rite for spec ops dudes. It's like a high accolade
NeonSm1le True. There was an article about the bad shit that happens and has happened with DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six if you’re not familiar, I feel like you’re an Aussie lol). The tomahawk bit I mentioned was very controversial because people argued “fight fire with fire” like how SEALs did in Vietnam, but others said that we as Americans should be more professional than our enemies even in battle. IMO using tomahawks as revenge is one of those things that while it makes sense, we shouldn’t sink to that level
People would like to think that these guy are braver that the Taliban but would they have fight like the Taliban if they have the Taliban weapons and the Taliban had there.
Getting violent with peaceful, innocent people is an act of barbarism; getting violent with people who prey on peaceful, innocent people is an act of virtue.
Amen!
I can't argue with that 👍

He reminds me of my father. My father is retired US Army Special Forces. When I was a boy I often attracted bullies as I was quite small and one day I came home pretty scuffed up. He told me, "you better be able to run fast or learn how to fight".... I ran once and they caught me. LOL From that day forward he started teaching me to fight and later he took me to a martial arts school. It did not take long before I had a reputation for being the small kid with a solid set of hands and my bullies became fewer and fewer until I was never bullied again.
Dwight Hayes I started martial arts at 10 as well because I knew I’d be in fights or picked on once in Junior High. I wasn’t a small kid and by 13 I was the biggest kid but I wasn’t someone people would avoid either ... I stayed in for 20 years of various martial arts and teaching it and it was one of the best things I ever did in my life. Pays off in spades in so many different ways. My son is 4 and I can’t wait to teach him one day.

Also moving from place to place and being raised in a black neighborhood back in the days before the bastard sons of single mothers and shootings... You had to know how to fight.

"The solution bullying is to learn how to stop bullies...you talk to them in the same language they speak. The first time I was violent towards a bully...I was never bullied again."
An inverted way of speaking the wisdom of Sun Tsu on using, quickly deployed over whelming force once it is known that force is required. The mongols controlled most of the world in their time because they did this. The Nazi's found early success in world war II when they applied it (Blitzkrieg) Go hard or go home.
you a Dan Carlin fan?
Bumrush always a the way to go
You only get bullied if you allow them to.. the more you cower the more theyll come for you.. im not sayin to be violent but at least learn to stand for yourself..
Winning hearts and minds of people is one thing, fighting a war against terrorists is another thing. You can't debate with extremists or terrorists, they believe in hate and end of the world/doomsday scenarios.
This war will fester and consume us all.
The hearts and minds is for those not radicalized yet to harm their ability to recruit by reducing the enemies propaganda and making it very clear who's the good guys, it's just one side of the equation all movements require proper application of both diplomacy and violence
That's why war should be war..you stay you die innocent or not..get out the way, army is coming

"The public is very ignorant about what goes on in a war zone" and the government's make it that way
Very true, unless you live that life for sometime, you wont completely understand, im not putting people down for not being able to get their head around the facts, its not a life for everyone. Most of the time the general public never hears about anything that the spec ops lads do, they're not about public relations and glossing over the facts of conflict, they are the people who do the dirty work that others can't manage. Too many have an opinion over the work they do, without understanding their role, as others have said before..."we do bad things to bad people"!. Ive worked side by side with these people( spec ops from different countries), most don't want attention or people treating them any different to other soldiers, they just enjoy their work. These lads play an important role in controlling terrorism world wide, be it in war zones or in everyday life, people paint them as monsters, but we'd be screwed without them. Ive never cared about what anti military loonys think about spec ops, as nearly all of them have'nt got the balls to fight for their countries, they'd rather march through a city carrying badly painted signs in protest of the latest "injustice trend"!!.
All the best matey.

Not really. Telling exactly what goes on in a warzone 24/7 is just violating OPSEC and putting free intel for the enemy out there. You can sit here and invoke your fucky boogeyman all you want but if you would use simple reasoning and logic you would see why we can't just broadcast and entire war like we did in Vietnam. Operating in secrecy is the best way.

Sgt Cale defined the military a way rarely said, and I appreciate him for that. Military should not act as "peacekeeper" or "nation rebuilding". Military is suppose to be used to export violence. If war is not the goal, send someone else. Soldiers being mandate to not chamber a round, or keep weapon on safe until engaged is deadly to the troops. Either you trust therm without question or you don't. The sergeant speaks of "talking the same language". He is not apologetic. He is more likely to thrive and not have life ending mental Heath problems. He understand his job, he is balanced as a person. War is to destroy a threat then leave and not stay and become stagnant. If I lived in a country destroyed by an enemy I would of course not like them. But, to have a foreign power stay in my country and control me is something I may develop a seething hatred for. Thanks Sgt Cale
You're exactly right, the hearts and mind bullshit was just to get the locals on side and show we mean them no harm but thats not the main goal.
@shalom I agree. The extreme version of that is the nuke. If all goes well, it'll *never* get used (or god help us all, we have a problem). But it exists primarily so it shouldn't get used, and the only way to ensure that is to make sure the other guy is 100% convinced you WILL in fact use it if provoked. So with the US and Russia really making it clear, they'll nuke, ideally both will do their damndest to make sure 1) Their nuke is always visibly primed, 2) Never ever let shit get out of hand so it has to be fired. Mutual assaured destruction.
Or as Ozzty Ozbourne put it "Thank god for the bomb" (Becaue its why we never had world war III).
Of course the whole assumption dies, if some mad fucker actually pushes the button. Personally though, I'd rather risk not having them. The consequences of MAD failing are faaaar too grave
+Isiah 6:8 The guy hardly sleeps, and when he does he is drugged up on sleep meds, where in that did you find "a balanced person". Do you think he was going to spill his guts and be completely honest in this interview like he was talking to a psychiatrist? He is literally making a living from his "though guy" image, why would he damage that for a few mins on Vice? *I bet he stares into the eyes of that Afghan father every time he closes his own eyes, and yeah that will probably fuck with your sleep.* Unless you are a psychopath, killing human beings WILL give you mental health problems on some level. In other words, if you came home from a brutal war and was perfectly fine, THAT would have been the evidence that you are in fact not fine. You are either completely blocked off from your own humanity, or you are a psychopath, and there is sadly no shortage of those in the military, they make excellent snipers for instance.
He has come to peace with what he has done. Of course anyone who has been to war will suffer to one degree or the next. That is the price you pay for defending your nation. You learn to live with it. Medication helps but you have to come to terms with yourself. Having a good woman at home who understand helps a ton!
Actually, the weapon on safe thing is more for ensuring you don't have a missfire when in extreme or stressful situations. Like if you are running through a field, you trip, fall, and your finger accidentally pulls the trigger in the process. Or if you are in a crash or near some kind of explosion. Coincidentally, I was watching war footage of the civil war in Ukraine. On GoPro footage, a Ukrainian soldier actually had a missfire just from picking up his rifle wrong. He fired into the dirt, but his comrade was literally feet away. I understand that it is a concept that takes getting used to and drilling to ALWAYS remember to disengage the safety. But there is actually logic to why our military really emphasizes weapon on safe unless ready to engage. Though, I do agree that if you have a firearm on you, not having a round in the chamber is like trying to put on your seatbelt right before a crash is about to happen. You probably won't react fast enough. All that being said, I don't care who you are, taking a human life will change anyone. They may not talk about it, but it isn't something you brush off. Even when you are justified.
My mate said that his dad knew this guy while in service. He said that "there is a part of him not there"
mean?
@@yulopthegreat i guess meaning that hes kinda weird
I've met the guy, he's not weird. To an ordinary person, maybe he'd seem emotionally distant, but you have to understand that within the context of his experiences and how that fits in with today's sheltered society. Being at the absolute peak of any elite military organisation requires being a different breed of human. He's not 'weird', he's cut from a different cloth.
Amazing how childhood traumas can drive one's entire life in a single direction. Life is like a fractal.
Yet, I'm also amazed and impressed at how level headed and human this guy is, despite his past.
wow, something from vice that isnt total hot shit. This is genuinely surprising.
Quite refreshing, I must say.
What? I have always thought the consensus for VICE's video documentaries (not their shitty "news" subsidiary videos and media) was that they were pretty cool and usually unorthodox and always informational. I personally enjoy their military related documentaries.
First video watched after some 2 years hiatus from vice. I probably watch some more if the title is good enough.

Not all Australian's are convicts. Do some research and educate yourself.
Oh right, I have no idea.
Yeah, I agree about the violence being necessary. The tricky part is to harm the bully in the way that doesn't land yourself into life-ruining trouble. I think thats the hardest.
A swift kick to the genitals should do the trick
VERY true!

@@mosesmalone28 u don't want that karma bruh
I have gone to two paul cale seminars, I've never been more aware of another human's ability to kill me and I've been around the best fighters in australia. There's never been that same aura of quiet unassuming menace, that knowledge that, not only does he know various ways to kill me, but he's already thought of exactly how he'd do it to me.
Lol
Does he have a website, and where does he train?

5:27 that's 100% true tho. I used to get bullied a lot so when i started doing kickboxing i knocked this guy one day and i've never been bullied since. I really like the way how he phrases it: "talk back in the same language as they do"
My experience with bullying agrees with Paul's experience.
If you're bullied arm yourself with knowledge and abilities to stand up and defend yourself.Violent people only respect people who appear stronger.I was taught to be a pacifist, not to hit anyone ever. My school, my parents never taught me the truth about violence and violent people. As of today I'm still working on my fear of loosing control over my aggression. I fear I would kill people if I loose control.
Ditto
Doctor Banner, is that you? XP
I know your comment may just seem edgy to some, but I do agree with what you're saying. People fail to realize how easy it is to badly injure someone, even by accident. I've never got into any fights, and I always do my best to avoid them even if it means looking like a coward. I once did punch a dude in the face who was trying to mug me lol, but as soon as he hit the ground I ran away as fast as I could since I didn't know if he had a knife on him.. Better safe than sorry kids
Have to agree, i had a kid whipping me with a branch when i was younger, i asked him to stop several times, tried to turn the other cheek to endure it hoping he'd get bored and move on...he didn't, instead of making a mental decision and gaining the ability to stop him i let it go till i was watching stuff play out that i couldn't control, its a weird feeling like watching out a small window from the middle of a dark room.
Luckily i only knocked the wind out of him, but when i was punching and i was in the middle of my dark room i still did not want to hurt the kid but there was nothing i could do to stop it.
I could have done anything, or likewise had anything done to me, so i can understand a bit when people kill others in stressful situations...sometimes its not really them.
Much better to have the strength and skills and make a conscious decision to use violence before you lose that decision completely and possibly do more damage to yourself or others than is needed.
Okay, no more guns for you.
I love the inner Australian coming out of the interviewer at 3:20 "oh go on then"
The host has never seen violence in his life. You can tell by his wrist movements
Dude he works for the SBS...id be surprised if he's ever seen a woman naked. He'd probably call that rape.

When I was about 18 years old, I had a boss who was a WW2 veteran. One day, he told me a story about one of the instructors he had during his training. This man had fought in the trenches in France during the First World War and while he was there, he had been bayoneted by a German soldier. He told the young men he was giving bayonet training to that when he recovered from his wounds, he was returned to the front lines and thought he would never get over the sheer terror he had experienced when he saw the German running at him with a fixed bayonet. Somehow he did and he told the new recruits that it was his job to make sure that none of them would ever experience that sort of fear.
He was, apparently, a pretty scary old bloke and my boss said that even though they weren't using real bayonets, he still managed to put the fear of God in every one of them when he ran at them with a fixed dummy bayonet. They were so sure he was going to kill them. The final outcome was, according to my boss, that most of these young men were, eventually, able to stand their ground and defend themselves and finally get the better of their instructor. When that happened, my boss said it was the most quietly satisfying thing he ever did in his six years in the army. He said that no one was boastful or bragging about it, but they were all now confident they knew how to handle that sort of situation and come out on top.
The irony of the whole thing was that when my boss finished his training, he was posted to Small Ships in the Pacific theatre and hardly heard an angry shot fired for the rest of the war!
While I am completely against violence and it really makes me sad to see it, I also have to admit this man made me think. He is not just a regular guy who likes to beat up people, he understands it and has perfect control over himself.
Still, I think it is quite disturbing that we are all used to seeing violence (if nothing else, then on TV - in movies, cartoons, and news). How can we expect no violence if we grow up being surrounded by violence?
Just don't show it to kids that simple
Expecting no violence is incredibly naive. War is human nature
Try to understand that most children grow us with real violence on their door steps. In the world violence is everywhere. Thet you are not exposed on a daily basis is a good thing but don't think it is normal.
No violence is an impossibility. How in the fuck can you "expect" no violence? Glad to see you thinking a little more rationally, but you have still got quite a way to go.
No, war is not in our nature. We are afraid of losing our life, our houses, our children. No normal human wants to go to war.
There is violence in various forms for various reasons but don't be paranoid, be reasonable, don't censor but educate and stay as you are: completely against violence!

This reporter starts off by saying he has lived a life of violence, but when he interviews the soldier, he doesn't speak like he knows violence.
He is very naive.

Frankly I think it's a crime that we lose more servicemen to suicide than combat, imo these are no different than if a soldier came home wounded and died for lack of medical care.

Yeah it's a pretty hit and miss affair with diggers' care...some get great treatment and others not enough. They need to fix it. Once upon a time, Repat / DVA was a gold plated service - nothing was too good for the diggers. Seems that's changed in the last 20 or so years.
You can tell the Vice interviewer consumes soy regularly.
The Bible foretold it, the meek will inherit the earth ;(((
LMAO.
I don't get it. Can someone explain? :(
CocoNates im assuming he’s on about the fact that soy decreases testosterone or that people who choose soy are basically pussies
The "fact"? Soy milk has no known effect on human hormonal levels. Cow milk has, because it contains estrogen.
How he defined violence is how I define terror.
That story of the father and son. Right there is a lifelong case of ptsd. I hope he is looking after himself. Because these guys either deal with the trauma as an illness and have it treated or they do themselves in.
You say "state sanctioned violence" like it's a bad thing, Achmaaaaaaaad
The narrative you see, is a different narrative he perceives, they purposely put a Middle Eastern man to interview him cause both have been brought up in the same beautiful country but both have been fed the different source. The negative stigma of the west is rampant among many cultures, it's just a matter of time to see what we have sowed.
White European west was too busy with religion while the Arabs and Persians were making scientific advances in the 11th century. Without Arabs, Europeans wouldn't have the idea of how to control an Empire, civilisation and humanity was born in the Middle East, and I guess it's slowly ending there.

The problem is white Europeans have advanced while the Muslim Arabs got stuck in the 11th century.

An Australian Rambo? That's New
What's wrong with that?
real life =/= fiction
No really, look up Australian military history in Vietnam. They where a damn sight better at killing than the yanks where. Even the American commanders commented publicly multiple times on the fact. Macnamara in particular.
Live under a rock do we.
New? Australia had a special forces before USA. We came up with the idea of an elite group within the army, aaron bank in ww2 then started the USA's first special forces team. So I'm not sure what rambo's you're into, maybe just the ones from hollywood eh?
