🇬🇧 *Proud to be British* 🇬🇧
These ladies should be educated. They risked the lives of many brave men, purely for their virtue signalling
What exactly were those ladies going to teach the Afghan women that would in any way be practical? The irony is that the taxpayers of both countries that mobilized to rescue them wasted enough money to provide meals and medicines for every Afghan kid for years.
Understood. But their are people like this two aid ladies, who wanted to serve the less fortunate people in the remote areas in the world. Which for me is something to emulate. We are not alone in this world their are places that needs our help. And our goverment are willing to risk at just to help and something to be proub of. You not the only one paying the taxes we too are paid, and paying enough taxes to be used for the greater good of his countrymen and the orginazation around the world we are part with. ❤️💙
They wanted to serve the kids and the poor up there where aid cannot reach.
Exactly!
Worst part is this just enables these bad decisions, knowing that someone will come and bail them out.
Liberals 😂
Editor is in another level ❤❤
Travel advisory from the State Department is clear. The risks you take are your own
kind of ironic for you to say that under a movie about the risks being taken by their rescuers....who were essentially voluntold
Even allowing for artistic license, this docudrama was really interesting and left me feeling proud of our special services. Very nicely presented, produced and edited. Well done guys 👍
Fantastic documentary..
This women should never have gone there, period
Exactly. Then they cost the US a fortune to retrieve them through special missions, often at the cost of even more US lives.
They were emotional 😂😂
Spent 2 tours in Afghanistan. Beautiful country AWESOME food and great people. But don’t get it twisted. You will lose your life in a heartbeat.
Because U messed them up!
why would you lose your life in a heartbeat?
2 tours also... beautiful country. Used to be the vacation destination prior to the Russian invasion.
Yes, if you look European or American.
As a Kenyan,if it was only our own,chances are the government would let her die.We seem to live under the mercies of others which really makes me mad 🥶🥶🥶
The SAS are phenomenal man. I mean our CAG (Delta) is largely based off of their training pipeline and organizational structure. In Al-Kut in 07 I was with the 82nd 1st/504th and we had a small SAS Element come through our combat outpost. In the back of my head I thought to myself “I wonder if they’ll make tea.” They didn’t disappoint 😂
Oh man, I enjoy these types of documentaries and the accent of our friends from across the pond, but "Spud's" is just grating on me. I can't do it! 😂
Apparently, I am not his target audience.
I had the honor to fight next SAS operators, our own Paratroopers and operators from the foreign legion in 1991 in Rwanda (with the hutu genocide), we were a liberation and reckon unit that brought intel for all those regiments. These are friends for life. We have our secret group where we chat from time to time. We are now war veterans, we keep in touch.
The A-Team?
Good, but why did you lose in Afghanistan ?
@amac6483 We didn't have you with us my Special Friend (SF)!
4:02 these reenactments are hysterical. A corpulent Spanish man in the Taliban
its a drug dealer not a taliban, cartel maybe haha🤣
Aloha Snackbar
Love the bald British brother, 💯
Two stupid women in the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan. What on Earth did they expect and the resultant putting servicemen in peril.
EXACTLY!
If you were listening to, it was not only women but man also. They don’t care whom to kidnap 😅
Interfering lefty’s,they make me puke!
True. It truly boggles the mind.
There's a French movie loosely based on this, called Special forces.
Or Forces Special, its a really good film.
seen it many times. My favorite Djimon Hounsou film
For those who ever visit Penang, if you see a Scottish name on the map. 2 streets away from a war memorial that's my family name, where my uncle had a street named after him. You'll notice his name wasn't mentioned in the documentary! He probably tought Sir Peter how to tie his shoe laces.
The rest you'll never read in a book or see in a documentary.
I’m curious at the second cave …why don’t they use a silencer to take out the bad guys from a distance instead ?
the SAS went to teach the seals how to do it
It's not like that. They train together, swap personnel & techniques. SAS & Delta blokes go on secondment with each other's outfits.
Delta has more money & equipment, they all look like powerlifters. Whereas the SAS blokes could walk past you in Sainsburys and you wouldn't notice them. They'd notice you though.
Overall, the Afghanistan people won, you lost.
@@amac6483 That is probably why the the two women went there, against all conventional advice. It is just so good to be an Afghan living in that part of Afghanistan, that being a part of it is irresistable.
God bless those brave and strong women for their good hearts
And for their fearless stupidity that endangered themselves & others.
The way the Brits try to pretend they weren't occupying and exploiting Malaysia here.
Anyone else surpised to learn that in that terrain, two miles is far enough away to mask helicopter
noise?
"The teams prepared for a long march." LOL😂 it was two miles. These guys run ten miles all the time.
What are these Idiots doing in Afghanistan…?!
tempting fate
I was really baffled when I heard Telugu being spoken at 13:22 in the video.... Telugu is a South Indian language and not certainly spoken anywhere in Afghanistan ....The actor does however looks like a South Indian.
Wow. He flagged everyone in the class over and over.
Sadly a woman already died there. The amazing thing is, that these woman/men who have these dreams to teach or safe anoher peoples, who's culture are vastly different and was in existence for hundreds of years, go there without any pre-training or the knowledge of the army, to a warlike nation.
They are radical extremist and why they shouldn't be living along us. They worship death ( the 72 virgin rhing) has rotted them.
after making my bones in Chicagos south side i qualified for Special Ops at 12
naive women
The SAS train in the jungle all the time, its part of selection, Its the worst part of it (or Resistance To Interrogation). Def best SF...Mad Mike Calvert is a legend, he was a bad drunk but greatfully gifted. can't believe their doing a story on him. This'll be good....
Bravo six
32:03 it's kind of weird that they only refer to one of the hostages by name. Unfortunately, the other one is only known as the Kenyan colleague.
Oh that,s ok then? Got resqued didn,t she? No gratitude
@steveworthington930 Apostrophes are a challenge for you?
I observed same thing. Life’s not equal after all, so it seems.
I've seemed to have heard the name of that Swiss non-profit aid organization linked to more than a few hostage/kidnapping incidents over the years. They must be fond of taking huge risks in sending innocents into some very bad places and situations around the world. It would also seem that grabbing the big headlines in the press is pretty valuable to them if there's any measurable successes. Besides, if things go bad, they've got the military to do all their dirty work for them.
for 1000 years they live and feed their children without your help.
Well said sir
Exactly! How can they trust you!? These people go there as spies in disguise of aid workers Can U imagine both governments using millions and their elite soldiers to go in a dangerous country( which they messed up) to rescue three 'aid workers' ? Why not give those millions thru world organisations? Then they come ,to look heroes ,they make these programmes! 😂😂😂 Only fools can buy this!
They get billions of dollars in aid money and help from Israel and U.S.. Is the truth.
i said to a poor farmer with a cellphone..did you have to sell some sheep to buy it? no self respecting farmer would ever stoop that low..i gave him one of my wifes
13:23 to 13:28, it's my mother tongue telugu language from southern part of India. Are any telugu people truly involved in kidnapping gang.
dishonorable
Throwing a fragmentation grenade in a hostage situation...
how much experience as a Tier 1 operator do you have??? plz exclude the call of duty exp.
@@The-Cadillac-Lawyer-ZL1 common, he is right, using a frag grenade in a hostage situation when you dont know where the hostage is is a dumb move.
@@2684dennis from his COD teammate 🤣
@The-Cadillac-Lawyer-ZL1 not every body plays call of duty.
@2684dennis you do though 😏
I actually have a suspicion this was a SBS /seal team 6 mission , Afghanistan was the SBS theatre of operation during this time period, while delta and SAS were tasked with Iraq ( task force Black etc ) , it’s certainly possible that it was SAS but I have my doubts, wouldn’t be the first time an SBS operation was put down as an SAS job .
Obviously an Internet Warrior. Did you Enlist with these guys? Was you in Hereford, I was in E3 in Hereford.
@@nathankaye1577 I keep hearing the term SAS in reference to this operation.. I was 'attached' to US JSOC at that time, based at Bagram and with regular joint involvement with the Brits at Bastion.. My understanding was that it was the SBS primarily involved with JSOTF. Would appreciate some clarification on that.. Obviously, we don't pretend to know what's going on beyond our own remit.
They did, there goes that American arrogance some of you have. If you put it into Google it will tell you it was a joint USA/SAS operation. The first I am hearing of it mind you.
It’s wasn’t an SBS operation - it was an SAS operation. My brother in law was one of the 6 man squad who took the cave where the British hostage was - it was his job to carry her out with his colleague. The hostages had their shoes taken and glass bottles were smashing at the entrance of the cave so they couldn’t escape. He got a mention in dispatches for the op. Which was actually called Op Kestrel not Jubilee. Yanks weren’t involved at all
Does it make any difference, America and its allies lost after 20 years of fighting.
Thanks for trusting the USA TO DO THIS WITH YOU.❤

@Ted-e8q1h Quite right too.
The media called it Operation Jubilee - the SAS called it Op Kestrel - they weren’t ’aid workers’ they were spies! 6 SAS guys from D Squadron took the caves as British intel knew where the hostages were - the US troops were sent to another valley of no value. SBS weren’t involved at all. Air troop dropped in 12 miles out and took the hostage takers by surprise and it was over in minutes. Glass bottles were broken at the entrance to the caves and the hostages shoes were taken by the Taliban so they couldn’t escape - the only thing the SAS didn’t prepare for. They slaughtered the Taliban and left unscathed - albeit carrying out the hostages with no shoes. The 6 guys got invited to No.10 to meet Cameron and got MID awards on their afghan medals. That’s what actually happened
At that time the SAS were mainly working in Iraq and the SBS had Afghanistan.
Yes you're correct.
I believe it was the SBS rather the SAS as they were in Iraq. Could be wrong though….
What about delta force and ja grom..
Intresting,but why reveal how to operate ?
They aren't sharing anything special
They aren't sharing anything that the whole world doesn't already understand really well. CQB has been a thing forever now and history is easily researched in today's 🌎 of technology

Sadly the South African army and navy, previously one of the best veld/jungle fighters in the Western World, is non-excitant, sold out to the highest bidder.
Should have just called Obi Wan
Wow that's terrible

I always think that SAS , and the American Seals , should under no circumstances ever train any other countries military,why on earth would you do that baffles me because your only giving up vital info on your forces capabilities..seems pretty daft to me , it should be kept in house..
an alcoholic for a leader? not in the US..we use real balls not courage juice
❤
Wow
NGO… but big government steps in and gives all resources…. 🤔
The sad part is both of these aid workers would have if able criticized the heros as monsters for being soldiers because of their far left liberal ideology and probably still would ever after having been saved. Sad sad sad
No when.
Why did u add Telugu language in Afghan criminal gang member. Its not even spoken there
💙👍
NHK.
Stupio girls just problem themselfe and forces
haaaa. one of the so called terrorist (actor) is speaking "Telugu", (time stamp 13:27) an Indian language spoken in the southern part of India. Mr. Editor, at least you could have given a voice over in the Afgani language😄😄😄😄
in afghanistan, they speak pashto .... right?
@@Elevate_Clips Pashto and Dari are the main ones

The second was based on Malaysian history of Independence. Chin Peng was never given welcome home back to Malaysia, because his recognition as a Malaysian was lost due to Communism.

A woman 26 yo doing stupid things like this is asking for trouble. 2. you can solve a problem from the plane of effects. If you want to solve a problem you MUST go to the plane of CAUSALIY! You're ego tells you your a good person because you think you're helping the world when your not. Change YOURSELF and the world around you changes, when enough individuals do that the world around us will change, and not a second before!

“We love working with the SAS, we have the same mindset”
In other words - The SAS teach us how to operate. Seal team 6 is not the best of the best FACT!
Why are you negative on ST6? This is not a comparison video.. cant you just enjoy it? They did not choose Delta or SBS or Shayeret or GROM
Living in his mum's basement has made him a little bitter.
Like at the beginning when it starts and you see The SAS in actual action at the Iranian Embassy in London and then you see ST6 jumping out of an airplane (if that’s ST6) but you notice that you actually see the SAS in action from the very start! 😂😂😂
Your SAS champ doesn't know the difference between Av Gas and JP-8...
@leethompson9108 Most units aren't going to record their operations for anyone other than them to review/watch.
Fighting for independence for malay people is not terrorism, British thinks they are superior than others humans
We are,if everyone remembers that there wouldn’t be any problems!🇬🇧
10 seconds in and I already know this is an account by people who haven't got a clue what they're talking about.
The people involved in this war are still alive. Why not get them on a podcast instead of listening to feeble historians who weren't involved.
One acronym. OPSEC.
It's a good documentary, OPSEC friendly
Do you have some inside info about what happened?
@@CuriousChristopher yeah, but that’s why they can’t have the people who participated come onto the video.

Isn't Afghanistan barrin
It varies. Parts of Afghanistan are low land areas and the Hindu Kush mountain range is located in central and eastern Afghanistan.
Ah yes, seals (proceeds to show reenactment footage of troops in UCP)
Let's also not forget British generals in marpat, UCP, and OCP 😭
the SAS/SBS always prefer to do business with Delta thats because Delta is modeled after the SBS/SAS. DevGRU/6 isn't
