- Men With Green Faces (MN 10585) is a Vietnam-era U.S. Navy documentary from 1969 that explains the intense mental and physical challenges endured by those who want to become elite Navy SEALs. In addition to demonstrating the functions of the Navy's frogmen commandos, the film reflects the excitement of parachute jump training to the quite of jungle patrols. The film opens with Navy SEALs (of what appears to Underwater Demolition Team II) paddling a boat down a river; the men leave the river and head into the jungle for a reconnaissance mission. New SEALs listen to a commander during training (02:30). The men exercise on a field, do pullups, and carry boats while singing. Later, the frogmen put on masks and jump out of a raft moving along a body of water at a fast pace (05:44). The boat comes back around to retrieve the men, who hook their arms on a rope loop to move back into the boat. A member of Underwater Demolition Team II explains an Emerson Scuba Rig to the new SEALs (06:58). Underwater footage shows the SEALs moving just above the water’s floor (07:26), presumably with the Emerson rig. At Fort Benning, GA, the men train by jumping out of a Chinook helicopter into water (08:00), repelling down a line to simulate a parachute jump (08:32), and experience parachute openings while training on a four-armed tower (09:42). The SEALs graduate to parachuting out of a plane during an actual training jump (10:44). Several SEALs participate in a HALO jump (High Altitude, Low Opening). The SEALs participate in a patrol mission during a realistic training (12:20). “Enemy” targets (spring-loaded targets) spring up and the SEALs quickly shoot them. Two men practice hand-to-hand combat and fighting techniques (14:05). The men repel down a rocky face (14:48), moving as quickly as possible. In the classroom, the SEALs learn basic Vietnamese (15:50). An aerial view shows viewers Vietnam and what appears to be the Mekong River (17:10). At a base in Vietnam, the SEALs’ platoon leader briefs his men on an upcoming patrol mission (17:40). They board a PBR in full gear and camouflage. The SEALs quietly move through foliage and ford a river. The men board a PBR after conducting the patrol. The film then shows the men meeting for a debriefing after the mission. Armed Navy patrol boats move on a river (23:46), and helicopters take to the air. The frogmen fire the boat’s machine guns at unseen targets on the riverbanks (24:49), while the helicopters fire at enemy targets on the ground. SEALs attend an awards ceremony where they receive various medals (25:55). A commander gives a widow the medals earned by her late husband.
The United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land Teams, commonly abbreviated as Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's primary special operations force and a component of the Naval Special Warfare Command. Among the SEALs' main functions are conducting small-unit maritime military operations that originate from, and return to, a river, ocean, swamp, delta, or coastline. The SEALs are trained to operate in all environments (sea, air, and land) for which they are named.

*I had a patient on the Oncology Floor that was part of the Navy Combat Demolition Units (NCDU) which along with UDT were the precursors & Granddaddy’s of today’s SEAL’s. He shared stories with me that he said he hadn’t talked about since WWII. They used him in clandestine/asymmetrical warfare that had often turned into hand to hand combat & operating solo. In many ways it felt like a LAST CONFESSION as tears rolled down his face. He passed approximately 2 weeks later*
SMOOTH SAILING CHIEF
@George Bobb ...... Amen, Roger That!!👏🏾
Robert Newell Thanks for that story.
@John F. Kennedy ....... Yes Sir
@last of the mohawks It actually says "thou shalt not murder", a little ambiguity in the translation. Warfare by all biblical standards is not "murder"
I found out that in Vet Nam there were only 260 SEALs that served during the whole war. Which is funny because I have met over 2000 in bars over the years.
At this moment there are more "SEALS" in bars trying to hookup with girls or impress drunk strangers with war stories than have actually ever actually been members of teams.
Timothy Day I’ve met about the same. Especially at Home Depot when I’m wearing something Marine Corps- it’s always the same story, lol
Let Don Shipley know so he can go to town on them.
Masters of disguise, and camouflage. Same guy, new disguise.

Vietnam War Veterans were badass!! A huge respect to em' 👏👏
A guy I’m friends with from working as an underwater welder was Class 29. Hell of an individual.

How old was he

This is the film my Navy recruiter showed me, and got me to enlist as a BUDS walk in recruit. When I went through BUDS they had just started building the free ascent tower in Coronado.
My cousin graduated from buds class 58 what buds class did you graduate from?
Thank you to all those whom served and to the families for their sacrifices.
My cousin graduated from buds class 58 I am very proud of what he accomplished over in Vietnam.
My Dad was CLASS 14. FROGMAN. UDT.
RESPECT AND GRATITUDE.
❤️🔥
Thank you to all of our soldiers
Seeing this is very surreal for me! When I was a boy I had a VHS tape that was called "The Men With Green Faces . I was never a seal but I served proudly in the Army and I love our country! I did not have a father growing up all I had was a shoebox and pictures of a man in Vietnam and some medals! If any of you were out there from this era I would like to thank you for being a de facto role model for me! Frogmen you are still paratroopers as well after all! Airborne all the way!
I used to be a SEAL until I met Don Shipley in a bar downtown...
lmao
The men with green faces had bounty put on their heads and not a bag of rice. Thats how disruptive they was to the nva and vc. They play hardball behind thoses lines. Thank u men green faces for a job done well for a.ungratefull.nation
I think I met you in a bar in Danville, Illinois? Or one in Johnson City, Tennessee? Or one in...

Our seals , rock stars to real Americans. Thanks Boys!
Sando R Sun don't shine on a dogs ass at all times.
Nam was a war no American wanted to fight. Unlike WW11 . Both my grandfathers took out many Nazi's!
Sando R My Grandfathers did as well but wrong war, WW11 they both received metals for killing Nazis. However my Uncle probably killed many of your Grandfathers friends. He was special forces in the war we shouldn't have ever been involved in.
I will say my uncle said Charlie fought well.
@Sando R Funny thing, your Wehrmacht got it's ass kicked and here you are bragging about how badass they were. Perhaps it's better if you just kept your pie-hole shut. Those of us who have served don't usually go around bragging about kill ratios...
Greg Miller you sound like a kid. Quit arguing with other people over things neither you or them did yourselves.
@@73gmiller seals absolutely believe in any fight....its their nature... planes fly. Fish swim and seals fight. It's just reality.
Navy Seals are BADASS!
The good old days, when SEALs were true Silent Warriors. No book deals, no movies, no RUclips channels...
Tim Murphy Damn right Tim
Tim Murphy why put anyone from the military down for making money after their service? Your “amazing” country can’t even look after vets. I don’t blame them trying to make money when they leave. They have more right to be on RUclips than you.
@@Remo_1997 Uh-oh... someone is triggered!
@Tim Murphy I searched this after listening to Jesse Ventura talking about being UDT during Vietnam war. Have viewed same video on different channels. Special Ops are a special kind.
They showed this to us in boot camp, circa January, 1973, hoping to get a bunch of us to sign up. No one volunteered: SEAL stuff was exactly the sort of thing we joined the Navy to avoid.
i went airborne in 80 i hesatated at the door that never happend again i learned to put my faith in my
instructors and just do it
I went through it in '87. I saw a guy hesitate and get the JM's boot right up the chocolate factory! I made it a point to get through that door quick.
I was in the military with one of the men in this film. UDT team 11, later he went to Cadre training and assigned to Seal Team One, Vietnam. He had several tours there. Damn fine man
I was born and raised in Fort Pierce. FL, close by the UDT Museum. Been there, it's a cool place.
I remember watching this on VHS at the recruiting office in 1979.
No idea why, but I can imagine that perfectly. Such a vintage moment.
You have to admire every single special forces team member, no matter what nation or service, they go where mere mortals can’t survive. God bless them all. Although I had to giggle when they were doing the jungle walk through, every pop up target got at least four rounds into it, a bit wasteful when ammunition will always be a limited resource, was that for the camera or SOP, it would be interesting to know, but I suspect that it could have been SOP then, probably not now.
The VC and the NVA truly feared the seals. Ghost warriors with green faces. Seals were their worst nightmare.
Did a job for Richard L Osgood original ODT guy I instantly knew I was in the presence of greatness
Cant imagine how awesome must have been at the start
It was actually incredibly difficult, as wars go
@@mpj-nc6wq im sure it was. But to be a part of something new, epic testing of new techniqies such as HALO, bubbless breathing, skyhook etc....
That’s before all the hoopla and glamour. You needed to be pure badass, and Nothing more. I thought Parris Island was rough, but I don’t think I could of handled that intensity of training. Whether it’s Special Forces, Marine Force Recon, or Air Force Para Rescue, it takes a very select few to be able to endure the physical and mental aspects of this specific mission.
Hats off to those who made it!
🇺🇸🤘
@@josephcarini1867 Thing of it is, the original concept for BUDS at the begining, borrowed heavily from Marine Boot Camp doctrine. So if you made it through PI (depending on what timeframe), that ain't all that shabby.

The start was in World War II
I read the book men in green faces earlier this year and it instantly became my favorite book. Gene letting his 60 sing!
I love Navy SEALs.
11 VC Tax collectors hate this video
Since 2007 154 SEALs have lost their Trident. Why? For men that worked as hard as they did to get their Tridents, that seems like a lot.
Probably rape, murder, dealing dope, hell life.
Notice, no Tidents on these guys... was not around yet.
Sills they had nothing to prove to anyone... and still don't. That's why genuine SEALs usually don't wear their well earned insignia.
This looks like before they started issuing the trident. Does anyone know when that came along?
who gives a shit
Vietnam era. That’s when they came out with the expeditionary medal
@seoceancrosser ..... according to Wikipedia 1970
@@bryantcurtis2665 Though I don't know when the vaunted Budweiser was actually introduced, all I ever recall seeing in early '70s were Navy/Marine Corps jump wings.
1970. Silver for EM, Gold for Officers. Later EM was made gold also.
9:12 looks exactly like US Army airborne school I went to in 2004. 34 foot tower, 250 ft tower, and 5 jumps day/night.
The days of the silent proffessional, back when Special Operators went in and did their job and that was the end of it. Of course these days Hollywood has hyped SEALS and other Spec Ops up to the point where glory hounds chase after it and they think nothing can touch them so we get a lot of scandals like we've been having recently.
Nunya Business
The hype probably produced stolen valor because everybody wants to reap the benefits of the hype and the status
Great Americans! 🇺🇸
think i saw don shipley! kidding great stuff!
Anybody know Gene Wentz? He wrote, “Men in Green Faces”. I used to have him guest speak to my classes about 10 or so years ago. I guess he moved to California. I haven’t been in touch with him since then.
innertube205 I read his book while incarcerated, great story
I knew a frogman he said he didn't have a fancy name like they do now.but he called it demolition.

@@larpingtonboogecke HAAHAAAA!!!! That guy is a total loser! Hahahahaha!! Stupid little troll!
Mr. David
You make broad sweeping generalizations. It’s an overgeneralization to say that all wars are bad that’s to imply that there’s nothing worth fighting for no evil that needs resistance
Mr. David
I would say it was worth fighting against Hitler. Neville Chamberlain took your position another words just giving more and more territory to Hitler’s demands. But Hitler just kept seizing more land and more power and was destroying people and war is nothing more than a physical confrontation of evil when words have no effect anymore. You must know that you are in the minority of thinking. There aren’t many people like you who would not resist evil. If someone came crashing through your door to kill your friends or family would you sit there and not resist them and let the evil have its way is that a greater good in your mind maybe so. But not in the rational minds.
I was a frog man. Oops, I meant a grog man, sorry.

I always wondered if squads disappeared like in apocalypse now.
Almost went to war with North Korea in the 90s over that very thing! Was in the marine corps at the time.
Heard they showed this in Navy boot camp (at least at NTC San Diego) in early '70s as a highly successful recruitment tool. Anyone know if that's true?
Son of Slade it was shown all over.
I was in boot camp early 70's NTC Orlando, never seen this film before
Awesome video. But I’m surprised to see that they wear their wedding ring on ops (unless it was training of course)...
Bruno DECOURCY these were training videos. Used for recruitment purposes. Back then Naval special warfare was not Hollywood
Deathfromabove It makes sense...
Anymore videos?
jethro bodine was a frogman
Anyone remember Cmdr Jim Williams?
5:55 is the spot
Richard Marcinko
Isn't it odd, how easily we accept the pride, comradery and mutual respect among these soldiers...and the desire, "you gotta want it" , so what do we tacitly accept here? We accept that their success is the prolonging of the agony for the citizens and civilians of Vietnam, reeling from 7 million tons of bombing and napalm.
Communism can't go unopposed. Although that's how they'd want it.
Threat of commumism was and still is real. Small price to pay.
@@punishedsnake6141 so I assume that the people of Vietnam are suffering under the yolk of communism now? Are they? I don't wanna be a smarty pants and I know which Korea I'd rather be in, but we didn't recognize it wasn't a war against communism (for them)and frankly I don't even think we knew about our own imperialism either.
@Mr. David Regardless of LBJ's lie, the US had been opposing NVN communism since the 40's. Over 3 million people fled first North Vietnam and then South Vietnam in order to escape communism. It WAS about communism,.
Between the men with green faces and sog, these teams would hold up army's over the fence in a back yard most dare not go. We have give them their do, cause not any man could do what they did
Back when they were called green faces and the green berets were called the snake eaters!😉

Too much bad ass for me.
Yeah...these men wth Green Faces, Green Berets, Navy Seals, Airborne, Marines, Rangers etc...but yet they lost the war...too bad some of these men died for nuthin'...
No fair; they were up against elite barefoot peasants armed with sharpened bamboo sticks on a handful of raw rice per diem ration!
No our Government lost the war. Had we gone flat out after we kicked their butts in Tet 68 and gone into Cambodia and Laos we would have won. Woulda been nice if the ARVN and South Vietnamese people would have been more dedicated to their own cause.
As much respect as I have for all who’ve served with good intentions, especially SEALs and other Special Forces groups, what is with that hip fire at 14 minutes in? Lol “all the techniques they've learned are brought to bear in this realistic training...” proceeds to Rambo style hip fire more rounds than necessary at a target. I understand suppressive fire but that isn’t a Stoner or an M-60 and even then wouldn’t you still use your iron sights unless you can’t actually see any targets and you’re just trying to lay down suppressive fire in a particular direction?
Nicholas Petroff
If they train with Hipfire they know what they’re doing
Ken Zeier
Lol, I know they know what they’re doing it’s just funny to me, being pretty obsessed with SEALs in particular I’ve watched every documentary and available footage I could find over the years of their training and never before have I seen them use hipfire for anything other than the enjoyment of it. Especially considering the nature of the missions they undertake, accuracy is pretty heavily focused on. They may not have trained in killhouses with their own teammates standing in as no shoots back in the ‘60s but another Vietnam era vet confirmed the two to the chest, one to the head method as being implemented even back then so I just find it humorous.
Like a frog
Viet Cong hated the Greenfaces and the K-9 units(cant hide from doggies)-lol
Our dogs are massive compared to theirs. Of course they ate their dogs.
Its dangerous
That's what the seals were all about secrecy in Vietnam along the way they lost it
You mean by making a movie like the men with green faces? What would you say if i was to tell you that alot if not most books and movies where because the Navy was behind it because of the severe need of recruits. Unlike the Army most SEALs come from civilian world not the Navy.
They also didnt have computers and cell phones and social media then.
Don't you love the fact that you can say anything you want no matter how asinine it is thank a us service man shithead
Adrian Woodward.
I would say you are wrong. Because you are. Few books were endorsed by the Navy. Lone Survivor and American Sniper were the exceptions. And they have both been criticised for contradictions and inaccuracies. Get your facts right before bumping your gums.
Facts right? My facts are right and you also forgot the movie act of valor or whatever its name. I cant recall the name of the officer but there was a Navy commander put in charge to try and get recruitment numbers up. They needed a certain amount of spots they had intent on filling. Unlike many other branches that recruit from within the majority of buds candidates come from civilian life and they needed more exposure to complete the numbers so they choose to do this. Bumping my gums in this case happens to be 100% correct and its you that doesnt know wtf you are talking about. If you like ill give you the name of the Navy officer in charge of it. I cant stand a know it all that tries to be a badass and dont know sh$t what he is saying.
You were well out of your depth in the jungles of Vietnam.,😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Glorifying a war that should never have been fought
jrjohnryanjr
People said the same thing about fighting Nazi Germany
If the war shouldn’t have been fight then why did the North Vietnamese in the Chinese communist fight it
There were many many Vietnamese who did not want to become a communist
TheVietnamese fought the war to reunify their country and to end foreign colonial rule
Yes many conservative politicians admired Hitler and our banks willingly financed him
The USA had little choice about fighting Germany THEY declared war on us
