Abel don’t sell yourself short brother. I agree with everyone else that said it…. You are great man love seeing you on the show again
I am pinning this for Abel!
Aye, able, I agree with this man. I enjoy the trio for their own reasons but it's always dope to have someone nonmilitary to ask the questions that the avg bear wouldn't know or something.
Much love able
@@FNGACADEMYRestrepo is an even better documentary
Abel. You're NOT BORING, bro. You bring a different (and very useful) perspective. All three of you is peak FNG.
I really like the Abel videos. Sometimes, when it’s just Kurt and Buck, they don’t explain things well enough because they already know what they’re talking about. But when Abel is on, he’s asking Buck really good questions and making him explain things well.
Agree. His lack of knowledge brings questions that otherwise may not get answers.
Agree. For those people that never been in the military but studied military terminology or been in the military understand the environment , it's easier for them but for everyone else is like what the heck are they talking about . Military loves using acronyms a lot. Which is freaking annoying even when I was in the Army. Each brand has a way of doing things, even something that should be standard like clearing a house of terrorists each branch will do it differently heck even each unit will do it differently lol.
@@davidjob4909 same with police departments. Some are so wildly different in their tactics it is damn near impossible to integrate.
Agreed, that's some self-hating bs. I appreciate Abel's perspective cuz it's relatable as someone who was never in the military but has had family in and am just generally interested in military-related foreign affairs.
I like Abel. He represents all the civilian's without tactical experience.
As much as I want to razz Abel, you're not boring bro, you're a different, interesting perspective to Buck and Kurt, and we definitely appreciate all the work you do on the channel, in front and behind the camera!
I'm a female civilian from Germany and i totally agree with Buck, the comment section here is awesome. I learned so much from your channel already and i'm always having a great time watching your videos. Keep up the good work! Much love from 🇩🇪
Abel we fuckin love you bro just because you don’t offer the perspective of someone with combat experience doesn’t mean you aren’t entertaining to have on. You represent 90% of people who watch this channel who havent experienced combat and often ask the questions that a lot of us have in the comments too. You are just as important and appreciated by the FNG squad as Buck or Kurt, keep being you brotha we love it🤙
That SNAP!! of the bullet got me chills down my spine. Hi guys I'm a civilian from Italy, this video reminds me of my countless talks with my grandpa, he was a WW2 veteran and as he used to explain to me "you'd learn very quickly from the sound, the level of threat you were under, whatever they happened to shoot at you, be it mortar shells or bullets". We watched a documentary once with original sound and footage from the war: man the gleam in his eyes! The twitch in his fingers every time he heard a close "snap" near the cameraman... He was still in the trenches right then and there, sitting at the table with me. Chilling man, from the greenest civilian, that is one hell of an experience that I can only imagine or not. Thank you guys, I love these reactions! Ps: Abel, your presence is as appreciated as the rest of the guys 😉👍 Keep it up! My thanks to the FNG team 😉👏
Honestly, the best case scenario is to have all three of you on these, especially something real like this. Abel's ignorance of military is a blessing, get him there asking questions for the two experts to rattle back-n-forth about. Also, protip is to film this again with Kurt. Everybody will watch it, easy content boys.
I like abel episodes. He has good insight on cinematography. And he asks the sort of questions I would ask
Abel you're perfect for these types of videos because as a civilian you ask the questions that we would be asking in the comment section
This is one of my fav channels on youtube currently. I appreciate the humor
we appreciate you!
I remember when I was little, and seeing the movie for the first time. My father told me, he almost made it in the documentary with his unit the 101st Airborne. Then last minute he was sent somewhere else. Which he told me it was Gods mercy.
This was such a great documentary and very sad. God bless our troops. And don’t sell yourself short Abel, you’ve got a lot to offer in the commentary. You ask some really good questions.
I actually enjoy Abel during serious episodes. He asks the questions that many armchair commandoes are probably afraid to ask. Hoooooah!
the sound of bullet near pass ... bad experience, but watching you lads every time is cool, god bless
I absolutely love this channel and I love what you all do for our veteran and active duty communities. It’s rare to see such genuinely compassionate and selfless people like yourselves who show up, support the fans, and never ask for anything in return. This has become my Sunday ritual - and I look forward to seeing what the FNG Academy puts out every time!
Good to see you Mr. Abel
Man, hearing Sean saying when they catch naps and what snaps them back up. Abel, you represent people like me who've never served, but have mass respect for those who do.
I knew Vowell when he was a full bird. He was our Brigade Commander in 2015, Rakkassans. These days I believe he is a Major General. Really nice guy. He seemed like he truly cared about the enlisted man. He would PT with us all the time. Seems like we were his favorite platoon. 2nd Platoon, A Troop, 1-33 Cav, 3rd BCT, 101st Airborne.
Thank you, this new schedule is much better.
We just needed more FNG and I personally really appreciate you finding a creative way to do that.
Looking forward to part 2 is always fun.
Excellent documentary. Watched it a couple of times. Thanks guys.😊
Great job guys! I know this channel is SF oriented, but as a non-combat oriented Veteran, I was an AF Air Traffic Controller, it's cool to hear a different perspective of these reviews. Keep up the amazing work you all are doing!!
Almost all of my films or documentaries I've seen in last few months are from your reviews! Got a new one to watch now thankyou!!
Going to watch it right now...thx for the recommendation.
Theres so many great documentaries you guys can choose from this is great 👍
Thank you buck, been waiting for this for a long time.
You bet!
🫶
Love this channel! It’s always a great time. Well done guys 🫡
I remember watching this at Basic Training when we got an off day for 4th of July funnily enough but my drill sergeant knew some of the dudes involved in the last operation of the doc
great idea for the multi-part posts! we'll definitely come back for more and get more coverage of the movies!! 100% win/win!!!! looking forward to it! 😁
As soon as i saw this doc show up on amazon prime i KNEW yall were gonna watch it
Abel the fans love you bro. It’s good to see you back on screen!
Thts funny, I was jus watching this doc when yall came out with this review, very good documentary
Watching that unit enter that (possibly) empty conpound even unnerved me. It was like a horror movie or smonething.
Honestly I enjoy all your videos, especially when u got jokes.
Abel does the editing... And the man who does the lighting, no orange ompaloompas or Buck the blueberry... Great job and an important team member! Nice to see you Abel! Definitely not boring!
Restrepo !!!!!!
The sort time I was in the Washington NG I had a Sargent that was a guy in the actual event. I believe he said he had a small acting role in the movie. Super chill guy. Wish I could remember his name.
Great vid - I think the ruck trainer is a great idea and a useful tool - can't wait to see the boots 👍🏼
Abel is the perfect person to bring more interest out of the civilian sector, especially if this is someone’s first fng video. You’re contributing to the team whether you can admit it or not !
Just wanna thank you guys for the amazing content. A lot of people probably don't realize that all the things you guys talk about, while a lot of the time combat and military specific, actually transcend those things and apply to so many different experiences and situations. From first responders to medical and nursing roles, and even to just literally anyone who's dealt with their own traumatic events in their personal lives (not that anything could ever be the same as combat**). Dealing with that type of stressor, how we react to it realistically, sometimes stupid and unbelievable things that happen, that we witness, or that we even do, and how we cope with it during and after. Just so much you guys sit down and speak honestly about. Do not stop boys!
we appreciate you!
I'll never forget Abel's "You wanna film? FILM!" from the Catalina Island episode :D
As for recommendations - "Who Dares Wins" (1982, British movie about the SAS) and "9th Company" (Russian movie about the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union). Would love to see your take on both.
I'm just here to say... Training Day
You have to watch “Citizen Soldier” next same thing as the hornets nest but lot more combat action. Love both the documentary though.
I am a huge fan of this documentary. The father, and son duo going into the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan and getting right into the thick of a pretty serious gunfight. At times, a full 360 degree ambush was sprung on them. Definitely recommend you check it out if you haven't seen it.
I won't spoil the ending. But suffice to say, there were many tears shed. I am not a veteran, but many of my family are. And this documentary gave me a new discovered respect for what they did.
Oh shit i need to watch this doc. CPT Todd Tompkins was my BN Commander a few years ago. Had no clue he was in this!
Rose Anvil might be a good boot collab opportunity.
Y’all need to keep the ice out of your cups but still love the breakdown!
Abel at this point you have more understanding then 90% of civilians you know more then you think, and your a genuinely cool dude. Also you make so much of this possible...and we appreciate all the work you put into it. But by all means don't take any shit from Buck.... :D
11:37 very well said. 👌🏽👌🏽
"Rule no. 1: gotta look cool"
Man, I'm gonna use this alot
I’m still waiting for Kurt & Abel to do a breakdown video on some fast and furious movies!
A great documentary to check out is "Where Soldiers Are From" . It's about the first engineers in Afghanistan.
ill check it out
As a UK Vet, I find your sarcasm based humour epic. Very much what you’d expect in the UK Mil.
One film to watch is, ‘Best in Hell’ on RUclips.
It’s a pro Wagner Group film but take it as what it is.
Excellent visual of peer on peer asymmetric warfare in the urban environment.
Use of combined arms including visuals of the weapon systems.
Loads of stuff to discuss from movement with fire, casualties, alternate breeching points, use of limited bounds to avoid over extending etc.
Again, I’m not promoting it as pro Russian, but a well made depiction.
Though, personally I would have defended from ground level and surrounding elevated positions then held the tower block as a reserve demolition.
Great channel
Can't wait for the boot. I'll get one!
finally done! took a long time
I like the civilian perspective that Abel brings to the videos.
Acronym Knowledge TIC= Troops In Contact
It's definitely an experience and after the first few times you do get used to the snaps and cracks.
USMC 0311 Rifleman 09-14
You need to do a break down of the last season of strike back with scott and stonebridge that had some insane moments
For next Reaction, book: The Filthy 13
6:49
Fighting Ghost in Khost.
We made a Clan! :)))
You guys rock!! Keep em coming. Thoughts on doing the movie 300??
RESTREPO! Is a must watch
502d, 327th, and the 187th are the units in this documentary. I served with all 3 in my time in the 101st. AIRBORNE All the Way
You guys should check out the danish war documentary called Armadillo
It’s pretty crazy
Great movie
Just a comment on how nutty life is and a small world we live in sometimes. I was in the Rakkassan unit in the first half of the 90s that the First Sargent featured in this documentary's in. I got out and in the 2000s managed a bar and when this came out I recommended it to some of my staff who were friends who I thought would appreciate the film well one of the girls who was a bartender for me and a friend says that the First Sargent is her brother.
you take pics for ID of ordnance later. track SN to the shippers/ smugglers all the way from port of departure and the seizure of that ordnance. Not all combatants are on the battle field.
Next reaction: Zulu (1964)
Great!
Buck is such a lovely person he sees what i see which is Able he can see that Able is a lovely person as well he's awesome he just doesn't fully realise it yet sometimes people need to test themselves to know themselves better it humbles you i myself had multiple powerful mushroom trips that pushed me to and beyond my limits and gave me confidence and courage i didnt know i had
they say i have PTSD now and im pretty strait forward and just say what i want and i do the things i wished i would have done if i got the chance because ive left this place before and i know i will again we are only in this life game for 5 minutes compared to the time zone on the other side its a test a chance to learn then we move on oops that got a bit long anyway this is one of the best channels on RUclips hands down
Thanks for sharing this! I was with No Slack (last unit followed) from '10-'12 during this, great group of guys. Definitely check out our Chaplin's documentary No Greater Love. NFS!! ♣
Y’all should watch inside combat rescue it’s a documentary series that follows a rescue squadron in Afghanistan
You fellas should react to 'Ross Kemp in Afghanistan'. Awesome documentary following some British units, infantry and mechanised. Some really good (and tragic) footage and experiences.
Watch all your stuff, keep it up guys.
React to: The Devils Brigade. Bridge Over River Kwai
God I remember watching this and that final roll call bit fucked me up bro. It's like it's not quite real until you hear their names called and there's no answer and it hits you, they really are gone
Want to recommend the danish documentary Armadillo (2010).
A Green Beret and a Black Baseball Cap 🧢
This is incredible, hope Kurt is okay...and Abel, you're good man...Best community ever! since we are...can I get a free Ruck trainer 2.0? LOL
Hi there, have you guys reviewed already Ultimate force? Action series from the UK featuring SAS.
I'd like to see your reaction to End of Watch and the show Southland as a former cop. Both are very realistic, they just compress the career into a shorter timeframe
The episode numbering thing annoyed me but youtube forcing creators to have to game the stupid algorithm annoys me way more. Do what you need to Abel, we'll watch em all anyway!
I thought you will review French movie “The Nest” or Hornets nest in original language. Really recommend that movie.
Abel isn't boring. I enjoy his comments. It's good to have a civilian to ask questions that ex operators think are stupid. LOL
Abel speaking my mind on life.
Nice one. Did you guys do something from Vet TV? Or considered doing it? Like Grunt's life. I'd be really interested in your perspective.
Granted yes, Abel you don’t have the expertise of a Green Beret but you are still useful when you ask Buck questions that other civilians might be wondering. Not all your viewers are military. You also bring good criticism with what makes good and bad cinematography from your experience with that. Cheer up dude. Don’t let the few negative comments outweigh the mostly positive comments about you being in the videos.
I’m a war documentary nerd and book collector. There is another documentary covering these guys, except it’s their Chaplain, who carried a camera the whole time, and he made a documentary. It’s called No Greater Love. It’s better than this one. Also, For The 25, Pech River Boys, and Combat Obscura are all good too
Give Abel a break and you guys should watch “True Detective”, the long shoot out, pretty crazy
Idk know why I keep hearing that bullet almost hitting and I feel like Yess go time opportunity to use skills with little Ik. but ik In irl ima be breathing really hard and hope for the best for the unknown😂
You may want to look into the documentary "Restrepo" by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington
was in 173rd with Doc from Restrepo, we will do that one for sure
@FNGACADEMY in 173rd? Same here nice to hear, Able, Chosen and Scouts
I've just binged "The Pacific" It's not a bad show. Give it a try.
yup was a great show done in a completely different style from band of brothers but was necessary to be done that way just due to the way the pacific theater was. it was a completely different war from the european theater. if you haven't seen hacksaw ridge yet, definitely check it as well.
@@sirmonkey1985 Yeah, I was shocked how difficult it must have been and how those marines endured. I'll checkout Hacksaw Ridge. Thanks!
16:20 being blown up is kinda bad.
Just kinda.
Personally I enjoy Abel's perspective as a layman, asking questions curt wouldn't normally ask because of his ignorance on the topics. More viewer perspective
Would love to see you react to combat footage with Kurt. :)
can do!
Inside Green berets documentary on RUclips
southland please
This is so awesome, you should absolutely watch some of the Ukrainian documented drone footage. It'd be so awesome to get your guys takes from those. Some of them are absolutely insane.
Wow 😳
Great video. Abel, not boring. Also I watched a movie I think you guys would definitely enjoy it’s called Harry Brown(2009). It’s an old man vs gangsters movie that is amazing
please do starship troopers.
If you plan on doing more documentary, I recommend Free Burma Rangers
Abel, my man! Technically you are my favorite person on this channel, especially when you're watching with those over juvenile delinquent Green Beret types... Because it just reminds me of watching shit like this as a kid with my father... (Green Beret from 1964 to 1979 5th,7th,10th SFG)... So yeah I do feel your pain at times besides it's been my experience that anybody with the name Sean has turned out to be an asshole😂😂
