“Ghost”, “Maverick”. Dudes literally got their names from a video game and a movie lmao. And then retrofitted the name from black water to red water lmao
I’m sorry but I can’t take these guys (mercenaries) serious at all. They just give me fraud vibes. I showed my father in law how served in the marines for 18 years. 20 years as a lieutenant state trooper specializing in drug arrest who’s now us marshall who’s does executive protection for Biden when he came to Cleveland. And as well as my mother in law who’s Dea and trained in Quantico. And they both agreed these guys just said the most basic shit ever and seem very non legit
Lmao you think if they were real mercenaries they would be so happy to be in a RUclips video that anyone can watch and identify them by? They don’t even cover the tattoos 🤣
My buddy was a PJ in the airforce and became a PMC when he got out. He literally was addicted to adrenaline rushes of highly stressful situations. He dropped dead during training to become a state trooper from a heat stroke at the age of 27...leaving behind his wife and young daughter. Take care of yourselves so you can be there to take care of your loved ones.
But yeah these guys seem like larpers to me...the last time I saw my buddy at the bar I didn't even know he was doing the shit until he told me he just got back from Afghanistan and he had a big beard, looked like he just got off working on the farm and stopped in for a drink.
Budget plate carriers being worn incorrectly without plates unfiltered voices one guy was even running a spas-12(how on earth is that practical) their website just throws up more red flags
No real mercenary is letting cameras into their HQ and allowing their entire team to be ID’ed by their tattoos. This is almost as ridiculous as thinking Punch Made Dev was a successful scammer committing felonies on camera.
Punch Made Dev was clearly doing shit with his own accounts in the video. Also Tommy G is wrong in this video Black water isn't defunct. It was renamed.
I spot budget plate carriers, not being worn at the correct height/position, as well as no plates in some… amateur hour at it’s best. Do Not be like these guys.
I noticed this too. Joey's carrier was way too low and it looked empty or he had IIIA soft armor which is kinda unusual for someone getting paid to be shot at by motherfuckers with rifles.
I got that assessment too. They are probably making all these"missions" up. Guess who in their right mind would go on TV and show themselves and their tattoos if this is what they do.
These guys are let nowhere near a president. Hell, not even a PTA president. This is larping. Mercenary forces don’t “take people out”. They fight in foreign legions and work security detail as reservists. These guys play cops and robbers pretending they’re someone in Call of Duty. If they were serious at all, all tattoos would be completely covered and voices would be altered. Anyone with any military background at all can spot this is BS a mile away.
I was in French Foreign Legion, born from California SoCal. After that I went to Wagner. I have been to Syria, Mali, and Ukraine with Wagner.

🤣 Yeah not to mention No TQ in arms reach, 2 mags, carriers are fresh and clean but hanging low with no plates in most guys carriers. CAT TQ applied to Tommy looks like a fake Gen 7 with white time stamp when it should be gray. So many things that don't look or feel right in this from guys who are PMC's. This just seemed like if you're bringing someone into a training and tracking you might use some Sim rounds to add stress and get some realistic video for your possible risk of exposure. People have already found the drone location they took in the beginning to a sports club in TX.
Yeah these dirt mounds in the ass end of the Texas Hill Country are basically exactly like the Korengal valley. Why do you think Ft Hood is in Texas? 🫡
PMCs aren't under Geneva Convention so they usually are pretty goofy seeming dudes. Gotta be when you do the dirty work, I read that they paid $300 billion here in the US for military contractors and these are some of those
As a guy that deployed, these guys are joke. I've only watched 2 mins, but I'm not 100% sure any of these guys were even combat arms. The lack of uniformity of gear set ups to ensure things like medical kits being in a single location, so every warfighter knows where to go when they need to 1) scavenge 2) provide aid 3) find mission critical gear. They look like air soft LARPers that realized they could scale and sell lessons to kids. They have cringe names on their website like Thanos, Nomad, and Breeze instead of normal call signs like Dog 6, Dog 2A or Dog Actual. The Triple Canopy (formerly blackwater) guys I served alongside with had nick names like "Contractor Pants" or just went by nicknames like Fred instead of Fredrick. Their gear is barely used based off of the wear and tear. I've seen security guards with more time in their kit than these clowns. A lot of the illusive courses they've taken are pretty typical for a deployment spin up. I myself have taken CROW, Electronic Warfare, IED, SERE, counter UAV, route clearance, MATV, etc training. You wanna know something wild? So did every other soldier in my unit. These classes are jokes that sound impressive when we rattle them out, but any other vet has done it every train up cycle to our collective pain. If you are looking to join these guys don't the only work they'll get is protecting an apartment complex if that. If you wanna actually go overseas check out Triple Canopy (US) and Reed (England/Africa) those are the only two I know from my time in Afganistan and both pay terrible unless you get on the specialized contracts which these clowns wouldn't qualify for at the same level they try to portray. All and all it looks like a camp for cringe dudes to live out their fantasies since they left the military after their enlistment. Its cool that these vets want to try and start a company, but the fact that they're misleading people is sick especially for people that actually need qualified individuals for contracts like VIP extraction, Executive protection, and static security. All of which I would only trust them to be static guards. There's also a lot of young guys. In my experience, "mercenaries" security contractors are in their 30s since when they got home they couldn't make it in the civilian world and wind up back in the sandbox after a time. This isn't meant as a diss but the harsh reality of selling your rifle to someone tends to be a solemn last resort rather than a first choice pick.

From what I just researched, Academi (formally Blackwater/Xe Services) did defunct in 2014. They merged with Triple Canopy, Inc. to form Constellis Holdings. Constellis, from their website, seems to be a conglomerate of different security companies. So in a way they did defunct just come back under a different company.
A person purposefully breaking vegitation with a two man left flank and a sitting position is something that wasn't shown. Intel is important. Knowing that it was a three man team would allow for an ambush, not a hectic retreat.

Its mostly all Real veterans though it's not people pretending, they actually served and were in combat. What do you think they do in basic training is that just 'larping' also? or maybe you should reevaluate your airbrained assumptions.
They aren't called mercenaries anymore they are officially called private military contractors because using or hiring mercenaries is "illegal" in the world.

“I wanted to build a brotherhood” Translation: *I didn’t want to have an actual allegiance or authority being placed on me and I also wanted the ability to back out at anytime, so I didn’t enlist or reenlist and instead joined a role playing group that occasionally does something dangerous which gives me cool stories to tell people so that they think I’m “badass” successfully fulfilling my hero complex/power fantasy without all the mandatory instructions and consequences I wouldn’t be able to avoid/disobey in an actual military enlistment*

@@aaronkong8393 yeah I fully agree, I hadn't actually fully watched these clowns “operating” when I made that comment. They are just too HSLD to need armor I guess 😂
When I wrote about not wearing armor, that's what I meant. Gun belt or chest rig with the ability to slap on a III or IV vest over it.
And they weren’t at correct height
2:22 disclaimer it's all re-enacted stoopiud bs upload. this guy lost all credibilityu in one move, ouch!? how much of his isht is faked i mean like ... ???
Anyone who is a gear nerd like me and actually larps knows that these guys are just that...larpers. I mean come on for Christ sake, the majority of their team is running knock off Chinese gear so I wouldn't even consider calling them that anyway. This is the first time I've actually been disappointed watching a Tommy G video.
I’m sorry but I can’t take these guys (mercenaries) serious at all. They just give me fraud vibes. I showed my father in law how served in the marines for 18 years. 20 years as a lieutenant state trooper specializing in drug arrest who’s now us marshall who’s does executive protection for Biden when he came to Cleveland. And as well as my mother in law who’s Dea and trained in Quantico. And they both agreed these guys just said the most basic shit ever and seem very non legit
Watch his video about afghan “gangs” in the SF Bay Area 😂
The gangs on this channel are better equipped than this.
I'm disappointed as well. :( Sad day
Same fr
I’m always blown away at Tommy’s reach. How does this man get into these groups and never have an issue? Good shit man keep it up brother☝️
My guess money 💰 and respect
You can really tell these are high speed guys because of how low they wear their plate carriers.
They look like every average airsofter
the most obvious giveaway that anyone needs to see if they know
🤣 Yeah not to mention No TQ in arms reach, 2 mags, carriers are fresh and clean but hanging low with no plates in most guys carriers. CAT TQ applied to Tommy looks like a fake Gen 7 with white time stamp when it should be gray. So many things that don't look or feel right in this from guys who are PMC's. This just seemed like if you're bringing someone into a training and tracking you might use some Sim rounds to add stress and get some realistic video for your possible risk of exposure. People have already found the drone location they took in the beginning to a sports club in TX.
Redwater😂.... I'm surprised you fell for their B.S.!!!
all you need to have done is ever wear a backpack. this isnt some big brain club@@ronin3028
This is a cute little skit. Cool video Tommy! Keep pumping out that merch!
Cute little skit😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣@@SimSwapHero
Subscribed today and I can’t stop watching these videos
The editor for this video needs a raise this dude went crazy. Mad props.
'yea this reminds me of Afghanistan' he says in the woods
Yeah these dirt mounds in the ass end of the Texas Hill Country are basically exactly like the Korengal valley. Why do you think Ft Hood is in Texas? 🫡
@@shelltoe_soul Fort Hood (now Cavazos) might share a lot with Afghanistan but its less because of the terrain and more because of the... well yeah
Afghanistan has A lot of wooded terrain
tell me you never been outside your state or country without telling me.
Definitely one of your best videos BigDog
Arnold Bomber! That killed me! 😂 Probably one of your best videos. It was like an SNL skit. lol
"Arnold Palmer"
"Arnold Bomber!?" bro i am crying
Tommy G keep up the great work. Love your interviewing skills
I’ve always wanted a video on guys like this! They seem kinda goofy. Super interesting to me. Thanks for the upload Tommy!
PMCs aren't under Geneva Convention so they usually are pretty goofy seeming dudes. Gotta be when you do the dirty work, I read that they paid $300 billion here in the US for military contractors and these are some of those
‘Kinda’……. 🤔
they are
its cause its fake they arnt real military
They seem that way because they are. Don't take these dudes seriously. The serious mercenaries are the ones that you'll never see or hear about.
Didn't know Costco had a mercenaries branch.
This video sucks 😊
😂😂
As a guy that deployed, these guys are joke. I've only watched 2 mins, but I'm not 100% sure any of these guys were even combat arms. The lack of uniformity of gear set ups to ensure things like medical kits being in a single location, so every warfighter knows where to go when they need to 1) scavenge 2) provide aid 3) find mission critical gear. They look like air soft LARPers that realized they could scale and sell lessons to kids. They have cringe names on their website like Thanos, Nomad, and Breeze instead of normal call signs like Dog 6, Dog 2A or Dog Actual. The Triple Canopy (formerly blackwater) guys I served alongside with had nick names like "Contractor Pants" or just went by nicknames like Fred instead of Fredrick. Their gear is barely used based off of the wear and tear. I've seen security guards with more time in their kit than these clowns. A lot of the illusive courses they've taken are pretty typical for a deployment spin up. I myself have taken CROW, Electronic Warfare, IED, SERE, counter UAV, route clearance, MATV, etc training. You wanna know something wild? So did every other soldier in my unit. These classes are jokes that sound impressive when we rattle them out, but any other vet has done it every train up cycle to our collective pain.
If you are looking to join these guys don't the only work they'll get is protecting an apartment complex if that. If you wanna actually go overseas check out Triple Canopy (US) and Reed (England/Africa) those are the only two I know from my time in Afganistan and both pay terrible unless you get on the specialized contracts which these clowns wouldn't qualify for at the same level they try to portray. All and all it looks like a camp for cringe dudes to live out their fantasies since they left the military after their enlistment. Its cool that these vets want to try and start a company, but the fact that they're misleading people is sick especially for people that actually need qualified individuals for contracts like VIP extraction, Executive protection, and static security. All of which I would only trust them to be static guards. There's also a lot of young guys. In my experience, "mercenaries" security contractors are in their 30s since when they got home they couldn't make it in the civilian world and wind up back in the sandbox after a time. This isn't meant as a diss but the harsh reality of selling your rifle to someone tends to be a solemn last resort rather than a first choice pick.
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
Your a dude.
alr bot
Your a dude
I recognize all of their patches from Amazon 😂especially the “Death Dealer” 😂
Not saying this isn't a load of crap (because it is), but morale patches are used in the real world by Armed forces all the time.
It's called moral patches
well that makes sense.... considering amazon is probably where every vet goes to buy fun/morale patches
@@hunter2-1actual8 It's called labeling yourself as a restart. So everyone knows right away how big of a restart you are.
@@arcuz7862pretty sure that’s what u did just there
No plates in any of their plate carriers and straps and shit everywhere is so unkept and so unlike a combat vet
These guys come off as modern day equivalents to civil war reenactors
Just wanna say I’m proud of you bud. You’ve gone wayyy over a million subs since the last vid I’ve watched. You deserve my dude, keep up the good work.
This was so funny :) Thanks so much man. Great video and really entertaining.
To the individual who is reading this please quit overthinking everything every day and night . Stop obsessing over your failures. Stop doubting yourself and seeing the greatness in everyone else but you. You are better than that. You deserve more. Start showing up differently to yourself. Believe in yourself. God wont ever hand you something you cant handle. You are a star in this world ❤. may God Bless whoever sees this
I needed this comment today. Thank you ❤❤
Thank you! I actually needed to hear that. Amazing
Amen brother way to spread positivity GOD BLESS U ❤🙏
Really needed this encouragement today. Thank you so much and God bless!
Don't tell me what to do. Fck off
BlackWater is not defunct actually - they just changed their name to Academi
From what I just researched, Academi (formally Blackwater/Xe Services) did defunct in 2014. They merged with Triple Canopy, Inc. to form Constellis Holdings. Constellis, from their website, seems to be a conglomerate of different security companies. So in a way they did defunct just come back under a different company.
Love this content. You're freaking killing it man.
23:55 explains perfectly.
😂 Yup
Him telling the story from “without a paddle” pretty much sums these guys up
No “high tier operators” run hexmags. That’s all I needed to see
😂 definitely pmags for life
@@damonlee3225yeah the hex mag made me scratch my head. But to be honest promags are kind of shit.. stands for Please Remember Our Mags Are Garbage…
@@reboundrides8132 I think he’s referring to Magpul Pmags, however yes promag is indeed shit. 😂
@@kysongafford7398 oh true true I think I mixed those up.
true, but I still give Tommy G and Arab credit for trying to put a different perspective out on Mercs
Love the content Tommy G on of the only real journalist out right now 💯
If you like Tommy G, then Tyler Oliveira will probably be up your alley as well.
You and Danny mullen R the goats of youtube journalism. I'm sure there's more.
Please don’t sell out and go on Logan Paul. You’re too real and I don’t want that piece of shit to taint you.
@@classic.camerascomparing tommy to Tyler is awful. Tommy actually does his research and doesn’t throw shots at people for no reason
Well, I would not say the only one. But he is good.
Funny how Arab is in the video and now he has to get saved by them in hati, hope everyone’s safe!!
A person purposefully breaking vegitation with a two man left flank and a sitting position is something that wasn't shown. Intel is important. Knowing that it was a three man team would allow for an ambush, not a hectic retreat.
Love all their tattoos and identifying stories, totally on top of their OpSec
They’re all cornballs. Grown men larping.
Amazing opsec includes first name one told his age and name
its kinda funny how all these arm chair veterans are claiming they have all this knowledge about black ops work but they were all just basic infantry and have never actually talked to anyone let alone done anything close to this, there are dozens of other examples of PMCs having social media and literally just blurring faces and showing pictures in locations like their "HQ" and training grounds... my neighbor who ive been friends with for almost a decade use to do contracting missions just like them after getting out and found this video amusing and enjoyable, but didnt find any reason to prove they dont do contracting work... it literally talks about how you can contact them and even meet and train with them so if youre such a professional why not go record a video showcasing your own video then one going and meeting them. or are you just a youtube expert....🤡 they arent doing hits for the CIA or deepstate
@@Youllpayforthat Damn bro did they do something to you that's a whole ass paragraph for a yt reply (their acting is dogshit)
@@Ot_Doges you typed a third of the reply i did... and i typed that whilst shitting on the toilet so whats your point? all you did was prove my point🤡
ARAB and TOMMY G! I LOVE THIS COLLAB
They literally just larping and talking about “the good ol days”
Blackwater isn't defuncted, it's just now called Academi, it's one of the top contracting firms in the country.
Maybe do it with Forward Observations Group? They're not mercs or PMCs but retired US Military guys that made FOG their clothing company and came from Army Rangers to Special Forces and rumored to also have Navy Seals.
"It's Arnold Palmer"
"No, I'm not a bomber"
I was doing skull crushers and fucking lost it at that one. Almost actually crushed my skull.
These dudes all played Contra
over 2 decades ago and took it to heart.
"We are Flaming Dragon"
I’m a 41 year old man who has consumed a fuck ton of media, and your channel is a new favorite!
Keep doing what you do, bro. Always stay real, and don’t compromise for anything!
You must love watching larping. These fucks are so far from the real deal. They don't even know how to wear a chest plate correctly.... also the so called gunner had small arms chest plate in
bro got platnum on his sniper he is almost thier for darkmatter bro has to grind more
I was a full supporter in the 30 seconds. They're America First Patriots. I wish they didn't work with 3-letter Agencies, but I like them more than I dislike the CIA.
the "totally not a gun box like at all bro" guitar case was meme worthy, might as well just have a $99 green gun safe in the vehicle at that point
TommyG is a G, anybody that has had a tourniquet put on knows.
I was cringing at the thought that he was muscling through that whole demo without complaining
dude what planet are you on. the dude is just doing a pretend demo man🤣🤣
@@lordcorporal4247I can tell you’re the type of guy that as a kid walked around with a helmet on at all times
All I gotta say is mad love, for any vet, or any current military, or mercenary . You guys are protectors and I will hit you up when I need help mad love I live in Texas too
"We love, we bleed and we laugh" one of the best quotes I've heard this year
Isnt this just larping lol
yah lmao
With real guns though lmao basically
Its mostly all Real veterans though it's not people pretending, they actually served and were in combat. What do you think they do in basic training is that just 'larping' also? or maybe you should reevaluate your airbrained assumptions.
They are a real PMC though.
It's training. There's a difference. These guys aren't role playing.
That was the most adorable form of water boarding I’ve ever seen.
Today im training with grown dorks who couldn't make the military requirements
THESE ARE HIGH SPEED DUDES ! tier 0 shhhhhhhhhh
Lmao literal cosplay
27:30
"i will try anything you recommend, excepth the pickles!"
"arnold palmer? no i am not a bomber""
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They aren't called mercenaries anymore they are officially called private military contractors because using or hiring mercenaries is "illegal" in the world.
Being a PMC is also highly illegal in most countries,and being a PMC is different from a merc.
That one girl named Kelcy at the food court was bamboozled 😂💀🙏😭😭
Bro Arab better have them get him in Haiti cause his as is really captured 🤦🏽♂️
I literally just came here to comment this bro. That shit is crazy. Tommy can go on a mission with em.

As a range safety officer from Brazos River Sportsman’s Club, we loved and enjoyed having y’all out on our range !!! 2nd video colab soon ???
I'm a civilian but would love to get some training. The world is going to shit and our government obviously hates us
Could just be how stoned I am but I'm getting big time my cousin is involved in this organization vibes with this one just the way it went right into it. Love the channel, positive positive vibes and good times And reel information all in one spot
“I wanted to build a brotherhood” Translation: *I didn’t want to have an actual allegiance or authority being placed on me and I also wanted the ability to back out at anytime, so I didn’t enlist or reenlist and instead joined a role playing group that occasionally does something dangerous which gives me cool stories to tell people so that they think I’m “badass” successfully fulfilling my hero complex/power fantasy without all the mandatory instructions and consequences I wouldn’t be able to avoid/disobey in an actual military enlistment*
hahaah yes exactly spot on total BS upload he should really delete this crap 2:22
id love to see your long list of accomplishments lmao.
as a vet i can 100% say these are a bunch of boys playing in the sticks.
That was, by far, the absolute best CGI I have ever seen...!! And the acting y'all did...!!! Y'all were very well trained in acting, from that jump to get away from the bomb, to the leg injury...!!! You really had me believing that you were missing a leg...!! Hahaha, it gets an A+ from me...!!! Thanks for sharing...
Fun fact: The vikings were mercenaries for the Byzantin Empire
Best larping video ever
Not many people can move between so many different places with such different kinds of people. Speaks a lot about the type of person Tommy is. It’s a very particular type of personality and confidence.
That's awesome what you did for Dr. Scott
these guys got not a clue what they are doing lmao
