@@Batou3 The original conception for Delta Force was that it would be a unit that straddles the fence between being US Army soldiers and CIA Officers.That's why Delta came up with the term "Operator" to set itself in this in between category.

@сладкий медвежонок 1st off, it was not that deep, 2nd I’m a retired Army Officer, paratrooper with over 25 years of military experience with 3 combat tours! So until you can can claim the same - don’t ever imagine to tell me about getting my priorities mixed up!
Currently watching through "The Unit" again. Came across it because Dennis Haysbert was awesome in "24". I was not disappointed, and this first episode remains one of my favourites. This video really does show off the awesomeness of Jonas Blane!!
It was a terrific 1st episode. Dennis was the obvious choice to be team leader. My only nitpick was he entered the plane not wearing a vest. My favorite episode was the only one without the wives. In Afghanistan, after capturing some prisoners, they ended up helping defend an FOB under Taliban assault from every direction.
The FIRST time I saw that first episode of The Unit, I said “Damn, this feels like Mamet!” And it WAS. What a crystal clear voice that man has. No screenwriter/playwright like him.
If they would do a show like this today about Delta Force on the history, fx,a tv station or streaming app of that caliber, this could be so much more dark and grittier of a storyline
This is actually a copy of that show., Henno was first. One of the bigger differences was that Hennos show had real missions to base some of the story line one. But most of it was fiction. But yeah,It was all in all a better show.
The ONLY real complaint I have is trying to find video clips from the show on RUclips. Trying to search for “The Unit” just kicks up too many off-topic ones. I guess that was the point, though. Nice and non-descriptive.
@@cjjonez no offense taken. I think that's a valid question. I dont think he is down for wearing dresses or the slapstick comedy roles. Hollywood seems to want to pigeonhole black men into those reoccurring stereotypes. Which in turn, limits his opportunities

But i know those characteristics got him that role on 24 that made him President Palmer and what helped him get the commercials with Allstate it's a blessing and a curse you get rewarded but they're far few in between because when you when you not with the system perceive it take time for them to learn how to handle you
@@cjjonez I'm not understanding you at all brother. Are you being contrarian just for the sake of it? Or did you want a legitimate reason? I dont make excuse for the shortcomings of black people, neither do I feel we should fall into snares willingly that a dominant society sets for us. However, I am aware of the media's campaign to lampoon and undermine the image of black men. If this concept is beyond tangible to you, then I do not know what else to say.
@@mbpaintballa Apparently you have never been in the US Armed Forces; because if you were, you'd know that the Military have their own Military laws; called military codes of military justice - Now you know!!!
@@ALVINEL-e4v yes, and civilian law enforcement can still arrest. I can tell you've never served, or you'd have stories of your buddies getting rolled up on weekends.
@@mbpaintballa You CLOWN-ASS, I served back in the 1970's and I was an MP so this let me know you just flapping your gums, because you can make sound come out, the Only time Civilian Law Enforcement can do anything if soldiers are breaking the law at home, civilian law enforcement can't enter the military installation unless given permission ... Period, and if Marshall Law is imposed, the civilian law enforcement powers/authority is taken away --Guaranteed!!!! Now You Know!!!
@mbpaintballa Yes an FBI agent can arrest a CSM/SGM if they broke a federal law. That said, if an FBI agent arrested a service member who just resolved a hostage situation by international terrorists that agent will be unleashing a massiv amount headaches for them and their bosses.
for regular TV it was very good , but cables TV strike back was better and TV's seals was lame , the history channels VI was off the top about SEAL team 6'
The actor playing Jonas Blaine is a Democrat. The whole idea of being an actor means playing a different person from yourself. Besides Democrats also serve in the military,especially a high percentage of Black American personal.
...The Unit was ALWAYS better when it focused on THE UNIT💯! The show's WEAKNESS was when the wives were involved (except for the episode when Williams was KIA;that episode was both GOOD & SAD)...
No show will ever beat The Unit. It was in its own league. I love SEAL TEAM but this was something else
SEAL team will always have this show in realism
@@liam9214yeah cause in this show I can’t tell if they’re soldiers or secret agents

One of the best shows to ever be on television!
The LEGENDARY Snakedoctor!
Damn right!
Love that he asked for anyone with a ranger tab and they all followed him instead of the commanding officer lol
Those guys live to kick the door down!
If only real life Sgt. Majors were this cool

@@marksmanpistol2148 I hated that. But Demore Barnes' response to the director's decisions to kill him off was so classy. Miss that show.
@@carvin69thinline65 don’t we all? 🙁
Which episode is yhat quote from?????
@@TeamDynamiteTVseason 4 episode 16. “Hill 60”
Wow amazing seeing people finally watching this video again we could get some attention to bring back the unit
I agree the Unit is so underrated!
Not saying this show is 100% why i joined the army back in 2007, but yea it had a lot to do with it 4 sure!
This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The writing and philosophies in here have helped me in life. I was like 13 when I first saw this show
This show keep me going in those tough days
Never happen, it's been 15 years. It would have to start with a whole new cast.
Who will ve a good replacement for Dennis Haybert today?
"They're our brothers"
Man 'Snakedoc' was such a badass.
“I’ll try, means I’ll fail!!!”

@@geofft.1959 Lot of fiction but love the 1 with porter and the 2 with the stonbridge and Scott, the others must forget
Dennis Haysbert could have been The Equalizer
Oh man... I saw The Equalizer movies a few months ago and was thinking the same thing!! That would just be too good!
I always thought he should have been Nick Fury too.
Easily. In the Sniper movies, he retired a similar role there

Where can we catch this? I couldn't find it on Netflix or any of the other streamers
Hulu@@bingchengzhu
Yea...I'm getting ready to watch it again too😅
This was a great show and so underrated
@bingchengzhu but the Blu-ray boxset on amazon
The best special forces tv show by far
My call sign on COD Modern Warefare 2 is “SnakeDoctor” because of this show!👏🏾
My online alias was Jonas Blane and my spam email was theunitleader. One of the greatest shows on TV.
It was a terrific 1st episode. Dennis was the obvious choice to be team leader. My only nitpick was he entered the plane not wearing a vest. My favorite episode was the only one without the wives. In Afghanistan, after capturing some prisoners, they ended up helping defend an FOB under Taliban assault from every direction.
Dark of the Moon, love that episode.
They don’t wear vests in confined spaces.
Would you rather freedom of movement of a vest?
Dark of the moon is my favorite episode as well.
"@@jamiedubreuil581 " on your feet when an officer is talking to you!!!!"
Great episode!!
The FIRST time I saw that first episode of The Unit, I said “Damn, this feels like Mamet!” And it WAS. What a crystal clear voice that man has. No screenwriter/playwright like him.
What's Mamet
Lmao at that guy thinking he had operational command over special ops.
He thought being a BG in the guard gave him clout. Snakedoc would have fed him that star if necessary.
Please bring back the unit
Still one of the best shows
They left out the gangster-ass perfectly synchronized walk the breach team had to setup under the plane.
the unit! I still dream about it, why stopped there
Always wonder why myself🤷🏿♂️
The zoomers in the comments don’t know but the first ever Black President died to make this show a reality
The only decent black President (he was also a Democrat, but that doesn't matter because he was awesome).
Who
Snake Dr was on 24. He didn’t want to do the scene where he was killed and so they offered him A deal he couldn’t refuse, he went to Delta Force lol
A still heart, nerves of steel and determination... lead to success!
I loved this show. I still think about it from time to time.
How about That.
If they would do a show like this today about Delta Force on the history, fx,a tv station or streaming app of that caliber, this could be so much more dark and grittier of a storyline
Like law and order with focus on mission not characters
Awesome series! One of the best ever.
That spotter got a wild tale to tell the boys back at the barracks.
Love this series
Get out this plane! Get out this plane!
The epitome of the Sergeant Major and played by one hell of an actor in Dennis Haysbet.
But try as he might, he never came close to matching up to... HENNO GARVIE! 🤣
This is actually a copy of that show., Henno was first. One of the bigger differences was that Hennos show had real missions to base some of the story line one. But most of it was fiction. But yeah,It was all in all a better show.

Best show ever!

Got to be one of the best scenes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He had Jobu on his side
😂
Awesome show and great cast 👏 👍
Great Show.
I love it when he tells Bob that he can say “yes sir” to the NG officers all day long, but whatever I do, you do!!!
The general tried to pull rank on the Sergeant Major LOL
1 - The sergeant major is always in charge.
2 - See rule one.
agree this show was bad ass got the whole box set
Blame was not a joke. He was an excellent character.
It should've been: This is The United States Army. I've taken this plane. GET OFF MY PLANE! y'all have a goodn
They could probably make a movie. IMHO, it was the pre-cursor to Navy Seals.
I really wish this show had gotten I don't know 11 seasons like mash
S1 E1, Good series, great episode. It went off the rails with too much focus on the families. Should have stayed with the story on the missions.
Doesn't get cooler than SM Blaine and Col Hannibal Smith; The Unit and The A Team.
"Yes... I will buy Insurance from that man"......
no wonder plays as god in Lucifer!
Didn't he do that insurance ad as well?

Stone faced killa..

Even coast guard had a TV show
I was shocked when his wife walked out on him in the last episode.

WHO DARES WINS !
I was hoping this would include the end of that first speech where he turns to the hesitant soldiers or suits and says “You, you and you: Panic.”
Blane! Jonas! Sgt Major! United States Army!
Yup! I remember that from the SERE School episode 😊
@@nlflone You can't catch me. I'm the gingerbread man
He also played God in Lucifer... so there's that.
If the assault was done in 1 shot (multiple takes to get it right I know) then I wonder how long it took, without the slow-motion

Only saw half of this show. Fast forward all the lady bits.😂
I don't remember how many seasons this ran, but it seemed that the last couple of seasons, it lost its focus and started straying from its orgins.

It's FBI swat work, in real life he get a nice martial court with the medal of honor
Nope. Because they operate directly on orders from the President of the United States.
