The fact that Delta offered to go get them speaks volumes about their comradery, but for the SAS to have the gallantry and honor to decline and go and get their men back themselves speaks so much about the operators of the Special Air Service. Cheers boys🍻🤙
Majority of the Delta boys would of known them personally - In Iraq and Afghan and tbh the vast majority of operations in general the SAS and Delta work together and train together and in some cases live on submarines together; the love they have for each other is brotherly but even general infantry the US and UK forces are a brotherhood on the battlefield and will happily die for the man next to them - something a certain politician seems to forget when it comes to the special relationship.
The SAS & SBS are the finest special operators in the world today. They were formed during WW2 and were the worlds first elite unit. 82 years later and they are feared by their enemies the world over. They make us proud. Who dares wins………..you’re damned right 👌👌
Actually I believe Germany was the first to create an Elite unit. But if you are talking about Special Operations such as recon and infiltrating then yea.
@Sole Knight I’m not saying other special forces are all bad. 95% of applicants for the SAS fail. These are professional soldiers like the parachute regiment for example. Most give up voluntarily because it is the most difficult regiment to be accepted in to. Jungle, desert, snow and mountain warfare as well as interrogation training. They are all trained in water activities and parachuting amongst other things. They need to have excellent decision making skills under the most extreme pressure. Imagine this example. They have to do a 40 mile hike with a 70lb burgeon on their back in under 20 hours. This is over hilly terrain. On average people walk at 3 mph on a flat surface and they are averaging 2 mph including breaks, toilet use and eating etc. it’s not for the faint hearted.
@Sole Knight these are the things the SAS have been doing for years. Look up the 1981 Iranian embassy siege in London. The SAS in the middle of London stormed an embassy (which is unheard of) and kill all but one terrorist who they captured outside. Israel is a very different country to the UK. We have MI5 who deal with terrorism on home soil who are backed up by specialist police units and in extreme circumstances the SAS. Btw, there are no special operators more secret than the SAS.
Man knowing that Delta was willing to go in and get them is so cool. I love the comradery we have with the Brits. Cheers to the SAS as well. Tough bastards that really started the idea of Special Operations as we know it today.
It's my belief that this is the exact reason the Sas was created. To think outside of the box and to take the difficult descisions the poloticians can't or won't. David Stirling would turn in his grave if those guys hadn't done what they did and rescued their comrades. Top drawer.
The SAS and SBS were derived from the original Commandos, which were the brainchild of Churchill. He wanted a fighting force which could operate outside of the structure and constraints of the regular Army. A force designed to operate deep behind enemy lines which would cause mayhem and fear amongst the enemy. When the war ended, there was no longer a need for the Commandos and they were all but disbanded, the SAS and SBS lived on though. The Commandos (and therefore the SAS) were fundamentally raiding and reconnaissance units. I assume, by operating independently to the regular Army, that autonomy and decision making were key skills for a Commando. I only know this because my father was a Commando during WW2, although he waited until he was in his 80's to tell me and show me some of his Special Services Brigade paperwork (a small passport sized booklet which was a membership card in essence, I think I remember it even had records of subscriptions paid?). He volunteered whilst serving with The Black Watch. I think people only think of Royal Marines now when Commandos are mentioned. My Dad tells me that they're not real Commandos though, they're not Army Commandos. Apologies to any RMs reading this lol
"difficult descisions the poloticians can't or won't" = erm no Sterling operated within the framework of government and the military. He did nothing that wasn't cleared by those in authority, he wasn't a rogue.
@@ftgoggi4715 Churchill didn't conceive the sas. He just quickly realised L company was a useful tool then tried to tie himself to it by supporting it. It wasn't his "brainchild"
This is so badass that they went against orders to rescue their fellow soldiers, and I’ve even heard that delta force offered to go with them to help but were declined. So much respect for both teams🫡
This story displays bravery beyond description. The decision to sacrifice their lives for their brothers is misunderstood by many but praised for their willingness to be bad asses. With a denied approval these guys grabbed their nuts and loaded out. True heroes!
They had an entire infantry battalion and the royal engineers with them. It was hardly a life or death situation for anyone involved. They had the numbers. The engineers drove a combat engineering vehicle through the wall, then they blew the place up with bar mines before they left just as a fook you to the local Shia militia they were colluding with. The Iraqi police ran away as they were hopelessly out numbered and out matched.
Heard of the Royal Marines who realised the left a man behind so strapped themselves onto Apache gunships and went back? Fucking baddassss! American B-1 drops some JDAMS then some A-10s get in on the action before the Brits arrive. One American A-10 pilot wrote in his report: “As I passed ahead of one British Apache, I glanced high left to see a man, leaning over the stubby helicopter wing, unloading his rifle on the enemy.” STOP, I CAN ONLY GET SO ERECT!!!
One thing that infuriates me is that the higher ups in the chain of command couldn’t just admit that they were wrong and that the SAS commander did the right thing. Instead, they “Authorized the operation” days after it took place.
@Neil Tucker yeah them posh has everything to do with get let's be real it doesn't matter what nation it is the the top brass act all the same they will hang their troops out given first opportunity look closely at the US Military they don't this behaviour alot .
@Jdmking it’s not just common but also typical of all of the Western commanding officers, who always are lacking in leadership skills, mainly due to their never having served in real combat operations themselves. It should infuriate you and everyone else who’s tax dollars are being used to pay for these spineless pansies.
Post facto authorization was actually the ONLY correct and wise action to be taken by the ruperts, which left the small matter of compensation only. All in all, despite the situation faced, truly heroic story. I hope they also honored the guys with medals for bravery. This is one of the best "who dares wins" examples I have heard about. Worth teaching it when explaining the concept of"all leadership is situational l" AND "doing the right thing; versus doing things right". The other 2 (from the many since the way back) by 22 are the amazing Iranian Embassy action and Christian Craighead's Obi-Wan-Nairobi effort.. Stuff of legends! Respect and salute.
The SAS, seriously these boys are harder than coffin nails. If these lads come knocking on your door, you know all hell is about to break loose. Thanks for your service. Much love and respect 🇬🇧
when i think of heroes ... these guys are at the top of the list ... willing to sacrifice their careers and lives to rescue their mates ... honourable and courageous ... thank you for your service ...

@@tom-vf1xvall militancy is essentially responsible for executing crimes for their regime, I admit some of the actions are morally questionable, but each militancy across the world ultimately is responsible for securing their assigned targets, for their security. The morality of that is shady at best, but that is why we rarely send them to areas where we expect no results in terms of intelligence or allies, but when the government send them to certain places it becomes evident they're devaluing their operations, as theirs no value on security, just value on funding for ammo stores
The finest examples of men and warriors. The level of dedication, discipline, respect is far beyond words. These are the men who should receive statues and be taught throughout history. Young men should look to these individuals as prime examples of what it means to be a man. Massive respect from America, thank you, gentlemen. Hats off to you.
The fact that the British government spent millions in compensation when it was the local police force who had started the aggression and refused to release the prisoners when asked nicely just baffles me.
If they didnt pay it then they just create more hostility towards themselves which is already high as infidels are invading a muslim land hence all the blue on blue the nato forces suffered.
The Special Air Service is a unit of handpicked, only the best of the best within the special forces arena. They are extremely well trained and professional soldiers. I bet there are many more of these rescue missions that were kept off book.
Yeah my mate who did two tours said he saw them occasionally round base and they had a look of being above the law. Apparently some shitheel officer got upset because an SAS didnt salute him without realising who he was in response and the guy just yelled TWO TWO SAS at him and walked off lol
@@TSE_WOODY Yep, I can concur that a few of them are egotistical muppets.

I met several of them during my service, got on well with them for the most part and they've got a great sense of gallows humour. Good guys to work with and good fun when they have a party. I think the ego thing might be a pressure release though. Then again, I could never pass selection, it's really tough and these guys are really the best of the best.

WHO DARES, WINS!!! Fantastic video. I support ALL special forces decisions and movements. The SAS (and the SBS) in particular deserve high praise from their countrymen and their allies. These are TRUE HEROES!!! May God Bless them All.
What probably happened was the higher ups "denied" the mission on paper, that way they could save face if things went awry, but there was probably some hush hush agreement between the SAS commander and his leadership along the lines of "I can't let you do this, but if we don't know about it and you go and do it anyways, whelp, its out of our hands" That way they could have plausible deniability if needed, or retroactively approve it if it was successful, which they did.
This!.. This is prime politics in the real world. The top brass have a job and an image to uphold BUT they are still soldiers.. So if i was in the top role.. this would be my play.. Go get our boys, but if it goes south we will have to say you went "rogue".. Hence the additional support for that mission.
@@deangcurrie Happens to James bond at least once per movie these days, actually starting to get bored with Dame Judy Dench's "If this goes south you're on your own!" in every bloody movie.
I heard this story before. The tank driver that drove into the building was just a rank-and-file soldier and when asked about it he said "best day of my life". Shoutout to that dude
As a former Army 11B (Infantryman) and Iraq War vet, all I can say is I am floored, yet not surprised, by the loyalty of the SAS leadership to their troops. 100% mad respect for them and this only raised it further. Also, to my brothers in arms across the pond, cheers 🍺
The SAS boys where beaten and paraded on television , that was unacceptable to rest of the regiment , they went against orders they retrieved there mates , who ever made the decision to go and get them, good on you son job done 😊
Cloaks and daggers. The general 100% knew they'd go regardless, but also knew saying no wouldn't land him in hot water with politics. And that's what the SAS historically is known for. The silent nod.
Hardly a rogue unit for living the code: “never leave a man behind”. I was a gunner in helos in OIF. At the end of our tour, during our left seat/right seat relief operations, we had a crew chief and a grunt go off the tail ramp, at night, in Ramadi. This was 2007 and Ramadi was about as hostile as you could get, think Mogadishu during Black Hawk Down. We hit the wrong LZ and they were already off comm and standing on the ramp when they waved off and nobody realized until the head count before the correct LZ. Thankfully they were both alright and managed to evade capture and pop an IR strobe. Nobody ever hesitated getting them out. In that life, it’s not even a question. I would have chosen an enemy bullet or court martial, before leaving one of our guys behind and having to live with that. Semper Fi.

@@MandenTV are you brain-dead you absolute clown?? It's a historical fact that the SAS are THE best special forces in the world?? They trained and influenced the first u.s special forces operators. The u.s didn't have a "special forces" until they ask us how to go about it, and been allies we showed them the way and how it's done.
The two captured soldiers were not specifically operating with the SAS they were seconded to the SRR. I don't think there was any official order to leave them to die and the full cooperation on the ground from the armoured infantry brigade and Royal Engineers suggests that at no stage was anyone going "rogue". You also keep referring to the wrong priminister and you have also missed out the bit where infantry and engineers drove a AVRE through the wall of the police station compound. Not satisfied with this they then rigged the entire building with bar mines as ad-hoc demolition charges and levelled the place to the ground with high explosives to prevent the corrupt Iraqi police working with a Shia militia from that police station ever again. People seem to eat this crap up when the relevant news articles showing what actually happened are still available via BBC archives.
Well, then: you should have said that the entire rescue mission was due to the Labrador dogs that were being held - the mascots of the SAS. It is a rule that any captured Labradors must be rescued: even if it means the sacrifice of every SAS soldier. That's why there's no need for a chain of command if a Labrador is involved. If a Labrador is killed then even nuclear bombs are necessary as revenge to any country that dares to harm a Labrador doggo.
I attended a Special Duties briefing shortly after this happened and the SAS DS were emphatic that those captured were not SAS - although Colin MacLachlan identified himself some time later as one of the two soldiers captured (and he was definitely 'badged' at 22SAS) Obfuscation much?
Channels with AI text to speech are always bullshit, they are made to attract viewers for the ad money. Nobody should be taking these type of channels seriously.
This is one of the main reasons why special forces are so elite. Not just their level of skill and atmosphere they were trained to fight in, but also because they treat each other like family. Definitely a story worth knowing since it emphasizes the idea of brotherhood and friendship. Much respect to these gentlemen, their actions behind the stage are what maintain the order in this world. Hats off to them.
I have the utmost respect for the British SAS, ever since reading "Bravo Two Zero" as a teenager. Their ethos of "no man left behind" and "who dares wins" is something to live by. Who cares about monetary reparations, they saved two of their own.
@@paulk8072 All sources state the founder, David Stirling conceived it. Beyond that I can't say. You say you have the utmost respect for them, as do I. Read this; Here's a breakdown of UKSF (22 SAS and SBS selection)... PHASE ONE 1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)... Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent). --------------- PHASE TWO 2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks. Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base. ---------------- PHASE THREE Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc. Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation. For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world. Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ. Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS. The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS. Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.
What we have right here is true loyalty. These brave men risked they're own lives and careers without a second thought to rescue they're mate, truly courageous
The fact that these brave operators had to go rouge to rescue their own is unacceptable. Unfortunately, that kind of crap still happens. These politicians and high command in the military care more about votes and their next rank to the right and honorable thing. I'm glad they got their mates back.
It's a sad and inescapable fact that soldiers' lives are in the hand of politicians and who trusts a politician. They were in Iraq because Blair is a liar.
In the Falklands Islands war , troops on the ground informed the war cabinet (full of poloticians ) that they did not need to attack Goose Green , as they believed that pushing on and taking Port Stanley would force the Argentina troops at Goose Green too surrender as they would not have any chances of reinforcements or supplies. Maggie Thatcher, desperate for a victory to bolster her failing government in the UK , demand that they attacked. Many soldiers, on both sides, died because of her decision.
@tiffanybiscuit7587 The whole conflict was her fault. Totally manufactured to save her political neck. However, when the boys went, I was 100% behind them. I had friends on the Sheffield, who were never the same again.
I heard a different version of the story. The version I heard was the 2 operators were handed off to local militants and were taken to a compound outside the city, and the SAS raided the compound and rescued the operators while the armoured brigade smashed through the walls of the police station
Thank you for this account. Once again we learn how the Establishment and the politicians couldn't give a fig about people. The SAS are the pride of the British Armed forces. 💪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
The difference between military leadership and politics is as such: Military, mission first self last, Government, self first mission last. I am with the SAS, leave no one behind, or as the famous Musketeers said: "All for one and one for all." I think even if there are political undesirable consequences, we all need to have each others back. It doesn't matter what popular opinion is, or what protesters write on their signs, they're not the ones with their asses on the line. It's easy to have ideologies when your safe and far away from harms way. As a retired Canadian soldier I salute the SAS for serving above and beyond of their expectations.
FYI, the picture used for illustrating the Prime Minister of the UK is of Boris Johnson, who didn't become PM until 2019. It was Tony Blair who was PM in 2005.
@@redrider762 Not denying that, but if the narration says "through the MOD eventually to the Prime Minister" then it should really be a picture of the prime minister at the time. Mind you, maybe the "eventually" and having Boris "de faffel" Johnson as the illustration is actually much more accurate than I gave initial credit for. :D
I'll never forget the discrete manner of these guys. I went to college in Hereford. Once I was in a bar, and a muscle man was showing off that he was in the SAS. Some skinny, but strong looking guy came over and just said, don't believe everything you hear in here. No idea if he was SAS, but like to think he was. Respect.
leaders and generals can't achieve victory without it's soldier so they should have the morality or common sense to let these soldieres rescue their mate not act like playing a chess where you have to save Your Pawn for your strategy. Huge respect to this squad. Now that's a true mate
Back in the days when China and Taiwan was still having an artillery-based firefight around Matsu, there was a fire mission where the batteries were only allowed to fire X rounds. One battery commander somehow decided to fire one more round. That round hit the target, a communist battery. He was promoted, no questions asked. Warfighters are evaluated by their actual performance, not really always by adherence to set rules.
Much respect to these guys... and General should be ashamed of himself. I absolutely would of done the same if I was in that situation... because every life matters. I hope they make a movie about this... this would be worth watching
Im from England, I dont know what my dad did but he was in the army and he was like an elite mf, his friend who I was named after bc he was his best mate was shot and died, my dad tried dragging him back while firing at the enemy but he died mid drag, rip my dads friend and my dad died a yr ago because of heart problems so rip him too

One thing that infuriates me is that the higher ups in the chain of command couldn’t just admit that they were wrong and that the SAS commander did the right thing. Instead, they “Authorized the operation” days after it took place.
Can't have plausible deniability if you ok the mission before it goes ahead
Because the UK commanders are mostly from posh backgrounds and soldiers are just fodder to them.
@Neil Tucker yeah them posh has everything to do with get let's be real it doesn't matter what nation it is the the top brass act all the same they will hang their troops out given first opportunity look closely at the US Military they don't this behaviour alot .
@Jdmking it’s not just common but also typical of all of the Western commanding officers, who always are lacking in leadership skills, mainly due to their never having served in real combat operations themselves. It should infuriate you and everyone else who’s tax dollars are being used to pay for these spineless pansies.
Post facto authorization was actually the ONLY correct and wise action to be taken by the ruperts, which left the small matter of compensation only. All in all, despite the situation faced, truly heroic story. I hope they also honored the guys with medals for bravery. This is one of the best "who dares wins" examples I have heard about. Worth teaching it when explaining the concept of"all leadership is situational l" AND "doing the right thing; versus doing things right".
The other 2 (from the many since the way back) by 22 are the amazing Iranian Embassy action and Christian Craighead's Obi-Wan-Nairobi effort.. Stuff of legends! Respect and salute.

@@tom-vf1xvall militancy is essentially responsible for executing crimes for their regime, I admit some of the actions are morally questionable, but each militancy across the world ultimately is responsible for securing their assigned targets, for their security. The morality of that is shady at best, but that is why we rarely send them to areas where we expect no results in terms of intelligence or allies, but when the government send them to certain places it becomes evident they're devaluing their operations, as theirs no value on security, just value on funding for ammo stores
It's amazing to see people willing to actually look after their own, such moral fortitude is so uncommon these days.
Thanks lads. You certainly wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of the SAS. Excellent.
The finest examples of men and warriors. The level of dedication, discipline, respect is far beyond words. These are the men who should receive statues and be taught throughout history. Young men should look to these individuals as prime examples of what it means to be a man. Massive respect from America, thank you, gentlemen. Hats off to you.
The fact that the British government spent millions in compensation when it was the local police force who had started the aggression and refused to release the prisoners when asked nicely just baffles me.
If they didnt pay it then they just create more hostility towards themselves which is already high as infidels are invading a muslim land hence all the blue on blue the nato forces suffered.

I met several of them during my service, got on well with them for the most part and they've got a great sense of gallows humour. Good guys to work with and good fun when they have a party.

What probably happened was the higher ups "denied" the mission on paper, that way they could save face if things went awry, but there was probably some hush hush agreement between the SAS commander and his leadership along the lines of "I can't let you do this, but if we don't know about it and you go and do it anyways, whelp, its out of our hands" That way they could have plausible deniability if needed, or retroactively approve it if it was successful, which they did.
This!.. This is prime politics in the real world. The top brass have a job and an image to uphold BUT they are still soldiers.. So if i was in the top role.. this would be my play..

As a former Army 11B (Infantryman) and Iraq War vet, all I can say is I am floored, yet not surprised, by the loyalty of the SAS leadership to their troops.
100% mad respect for them and this only raised it further. Also, to my brothers in arms across the pond, cheers 🍺
The SAS boys where beaten and paraded on television , that was unacceptable to rest of the regiment , they went against orders they retrieved there mates , who ever made the decision to go and get them, good on you son job done 😊
Bloody awesome SAS, comradery at its peak.
The level of Brotherhood speaks volume that no chain of command can comprehend. Well done
Cloaks and daggers. The general 100% knew they'd go regardless, but also knew saying no wouldn't land him in hot water with politics. And that's what the SAS historically is known for. The silent nod.
Hardly a rogue unit for living the code: “never leave a man behind”.
I was a gunner in helos in OIF. At the end of our tour, during our left seat/right seat relief operations, we had a crew chief and a grunt go off the tail ramp, at night, in Ramadi. This was 2007 and Ramadi was about as hostile as you could get, think Mogadishu during Black Hawk Down.
We hit the wrong LZ and they were already off comm and standing on the ramp when they waved off and nobody realized until the head count before the correct LZ. Thankfully they were both alright and managed to evade capture and pop an IR strobe. Nobody ever hesitated getting them out. In that life, it’s not even a question.
I would have chosen an enemy bullet or court martial, before leaving one of our guys behind and having to live with that.

Brothers to the absolute end. Much respect to every troop out there, Semper Fi
The two captured soldiers were not specifically operating with the SAS they were seconded to the SRR. I don't think there was any official order to leave them to die and the full cooperation on the ground from the armoured infantry brigade and Royal Engineers suggests that at no stage was anyone going "rogue". You also keep referring to the wrong priminister and you have also missed out the bit where infantry and engineers drove a AVRE through the wall of the police station compound. Not satisfied with this they then rigged the entire building with bar mines as ad-hoc demolition charges and levelled the place to the ground with high explosives to prevent the corrupt Iraqi police working with a Shia militia from that police station ever again. People seem to eat this crap up when the relevant news articles showing what actually happened are still available via BBC archives.
Well, then: you should have said that the entire rescue mission was due to the Labrador dogs that were being held - the mascots of the SAS. It is a rule that any captured Labradors must be rescued: even if it means the sacrifice of every SAS soldier. That's why there's no need for a chain of command if a Labrador is involved. If a Labrador is killed then even nuclear bombs are necessary as revenge to any country that dares to harm a Labrador doggo.
I attended a Special Duties briefing shortly after this happened and the SAS DS were emphatic that those captured were not SAS - although Colin MacLachlan identified himself some time later as one of the two soldiers captured (and he was definitely 'badged' at 22SAS) Obfuscation much?
Channels with AI text to speech are always bullshit, they are made to attract viewers for the ad money. Nobody should be taking these type of channels seriously.

Amd yes he mentioned they drove through the wall.. must not of been paying attention😂
This is one of the main reasons why special forces are so elite. Not just their level of skill and atmosphere they were trained to fight in, but also because they treat each other like family. Definitely a story worth knowing since it emphasizes the idea of brotherhood and friendship. Much respect to these gentlemen, their actions behind the stage are what maintain the order in this world. Hats off to them.

I have the utmost respect for the British SAS, ever since reading "Bravo Two Zero" as a teenager. Their ethos of "no man left behind" and "who dares wins" is something to live by. Who cares about monetary reparations, they saved two of their own.
'Who Dares Wins' is the official motto, it's on the cap badge. 11 other special forces units worldwide use it, taken from the British SAS.

@@paulk8072 All sources state the founder, David Stirling conceived it. Beyond that I can't say.
You say you have the utmost respect for them, as do I. Read this;
Here's a breakdown of UKSF (22 SAS and SBS selection)...
PHASE ONE
1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)...
Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days
march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent).
---------------
PHASE TWO
2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks.
Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base.
----------------
PHASE THREE
Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc.
Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation
The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation.
For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world.
Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ.
Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ.
------------------------------------------------------------
This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS.
The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS.
Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.

What we have right here is true loyalty. These brave men risked they're own lives and careers without a second thought to rescue they're mate, truly courageous
The fact that these brave operators had to go rouge to rescue their own is unacceptable. Unfortunately, that kind of crap still happens. These politicians and high command in the military care more about votes and their next rank to the right and honorable thing. I'm glad they got their mates back.
It's a sad and inescapable fact that soldiers' lives are in the hand of politicians and who trusts a politician. They were in Iraq because Blair is a liar.
In the Falklands Islands war , troops on the ground informed the war cabinet (full of poloticians ) that they did not need to attack Goose Green , as they believed that pushing on and taking Port Stanley would force the Argentina troops at Goose Green too surrender as they would not have any chances of reinforcements or supplies. Maggie Thatcher, desperate for a victory to bolster her failing government in the UK , demand that they attacked. Many soldiers, on both sides, died because of her decision.

The difference between military leadership and politics is as such: Military, mission first self last, Government, self first mission last. I am with the SAS, leave no one behind, or as the famous Musketeers said: "All for one and one for all." I think even if there are political undesirable consequences, we all need to have each others back. It doesn't matter what popular opinion is, or what protesters write on their signs, they're not the ones with their asses on the line. It's easy to have ideologies when your safe and far away from harms way. As a retired Canadian soldier I salute the SAS for serving above and beyond of their expectations.
