This is by far my favorite break down, He takes the fact its a movie into account when talking about stuff and then explains how everything works and the differences. I would watch entire series of this guy.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
God bless.
Yes absolutely honest breakdown. Sometimes the truth is too crazy for Haywood as well…
@@frogmantactical agreed with original commenter. Many of these videos people will bash on the film for things that are sometimes painfully obvious "audience aid". Or just the logistics of the shot needed one thing one way or the other (thinking helos here, at altitude, not going to show on camera). I like that you "get it" and understand some things are simply done for the audience to understand what's happening, see what's happening, or simply to help lubricate the stories progression.
"Act of Valor" was like a recruiting movie for SEAL teams. I thought it was pretty good. "13 Hours" was kick ass too.
You oughta read “Gray Work: Confessions of a Paramilitary Spy” written by a guy SMOKED by the liberal media in hit pieces who accused him of lying, but he’s the real deal who happened to come out against Obama. But he wrote the GRS sops used by the guys in Benghazi years later.
Honestly the only true reason I liked the movie was that 160th got some love and hey who isn't impressed with the sight of an Ohio-class SSGN?
The “actors” in act of valor were actually navy seals that wanted an honest take of seals in Hollywood
@CH Hansen it's still a Hollywood movie directed by Hollywood people.
@@BruceMusto I think the production team for Act of Valor had been making training films for the military, if not the Seals themselves, and had developed their trust to "get it right" in an action film. Sometimes there are "Hollywood people" who aren't actually Hollywood people in Hollywood. lol
O Dark Thirty and 13 Hours on the other hand were obviously established Hollywood A-list crews.
While not a SEAL or having been in actual combat, I am a Navy Vet, LEO and SWAT guy. You can tell within the first seconds of this that Mr. Pike has been there. Thank you for all that you did!!!
Thank you. 🙏
This is the first time I've ever gotten confirmation that Act of Valor was mostly legit and so were the guys, that's rad
Everyone of them.
God bless

Used live ammo on those gun boats also

Thank you for your service. I was stationed on Coronado as a Seabee and loved working with the team guys. They are the best at what they do.
Likewise brother.
Be blessed
@@frogmantactical Jason, do you get to do any diving these days? I spend more time underwater than above it, it seems like.
@@frogmantacticalI’m a 20 year Retired Army Vet Former Combat Medic with 3 Deployments to Iraq I retired in 2019 I love and appreciate your videos I’m currently a NRA certified Pistol instructor and waiting for my CWP instructor permit to teach CWP classes I would love to train under or receive any instruction from you. GOD Bless and Much continued success to you I will continue to support your videos Sir 🙏🏾🙏🏾😎😎
Every once in awhile in Pearl, the Seals would use a ship in port for some training. Approaching the ship, putting simulated explosives on it. Whatever type of training they were doing. The duty section on the ship would of course be alerted and we would station people topside with lights and I think once we even had some night vision. This was all many years ago, in the 80's and 90's. We never saw them. Never had any idea where they were. For all we knew, they could have been back at their team building drinking beers. Probably not though. Good video. Thanks.
It’s fun stuff for sure.
Have a great night and God bless.
That is the calmest most succinct breakdown I've ever heard. Military people are just a different breed. That sense of self assuredness, even in something as simple as a breakdown is amazing. I always marvel at my partner's demeanour as well because it is a lot like yours. Matter of fact, to the point and even if the world is going to hell in a handbasket around them, they are on top of it.
Can't tell you how, calming, and soothing, your voice and inflection is. I can only imagine what a good team leader you were. You are literally the Bob Ross of death. Wish you were my neighbor. Lol
Lol. Thank you.
Be blessed.
@@frogmantactical your voice is VERY arousing.
Do you like my soooothing voice? re-re-re-re-return the map! re-re-re-re-return what you have STOLEN from meee!
Villages at night have like a "song" that everyone there knows unconsciously. When an outside influence comes in the tone of that song changes and everyone feels it. Crickets, birds, cats, dogs, footsteps, clothing movements etc etc etc. You have to be exceptional to be there and not disrupt it and be detected.
Thanks for the break downs. I wasn't an operator but I was a Sailor and one of the platoons did training on my ship. And the tactics looked a lot less spectacular than in the movies. Much appreciated in shedding some reality on the images.
Thank you for the words.
Be blessed.
Really cool video. When I was deployed to Bagram Air Base, I had the pleasure of talking to a few SEALS. They were extremely down to earth and loved their velcro lol.
It's always so good to see and hear a detailed, well experienced and professional run down on Hollywood military action. Thank you so much.
And I gotta say, the SWCC scenes in AoV are just so epic :)
The way he explains the methodology and science behind each technique is amazing. Watching these videos gives me a sense of security because of the fact that this country has the best Warfighters there are. Thank you Jason Pike!
Excellent breakdown. Not rushed, great descriptions.
Have a couple friends that served on teams, one of became a friend in college. He thought I had the right mentality & wanted me to go for SEALs back in the day. Honestly I regret not doing so. Love you guys, some of the most solid dudes I know I can trust.
If you're young, have or are willing to have a no quit attitude & think you can handle the life (it's going to suck a lot at times) then go for it once you've decided. Don't hesitate & stall around.
Love your explanation...helps us civilians understand what you spec ops guys go through and deal with. Thank you for what you and your community do for us.
At 7 min, the guy in the car worked for DS, in the behind the scenes it says how that guy was so banged up he couldn’t get information correct. Tig and Tanto said they told him to go left over and over for about a min, then the guy still turned right and got ambushed. They said that’s extremely real when a person is just overwhelmed and not used to that environment. Nothing but love and Respect for you!🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼 Great video man!
Thank you very much. It happens.
🙏
Recently found your channel. Thanks for your reviews. Ive been training as a civilian for many years because I want to be able to protect my family. Your wisdom and experience is so very much appreciated! Thanks for sharing it w the rest of us!
Had the opportunity to meet some TEAMS guys in La Maddalena, Sardinia when an FA sub moored up next to our Sub Tender. I had countless conversations with these guys, and even showed them where the local watering hole was on the Island. These guys were normal human beings. They didn’t have wings, Marvel super hero powers, wear a cape, etc….but they were Alpha Males all the way. Not one time did any of them act arrogant or condescending towards me. They were just really cool dudes who treated me like I was a friend
That’s the nature of most. No reason for arrogance.
Be blessed.
@@frogmantactical I would like to personally thank you for repeatedly going in harms way so that both myself and those I love can live our lives in freedoms embrace. Your dedication to this country and her people represent heroism understood by few, and courage shown by fewer. We the people, respect and appreciate you and your immeasurable courage and dedication. Job Well Done sir. “Fair Winds…”
I really loved this breakdown, and I'm pretty pleased with myself for noticing a lot of the same inconsistencies. During my time in the army I had the pleasure of working with our 5th SF group out of Campbell, and as for breaching we used det cord, one thing I learned after being on both the giving and receiving end is that the door is not only an obstacle, it's also a weapon. Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed this movie, especially knowing these were real SEALs, and wondering how much of the combat was based on their guidance and input.
@Frogman Tactical Had the honor of serving on subs and being on several different missions where we would lockout NSW forces. Also did some time ground pounding in the Stan as convoy security/fast QRF. Retirement just over a year around the corner. Thanks for serving and paving the way for newer generations. Hooyah!
Glad these guys are on our side. Nothing but respect for the teams.
I can’t say it enough Jayson you are a great man with a heart you tell the TRUTH about things your not a tough guy you know what i mean you don’t go overboard I’m glad I came across your channel brother keep them videos coming God Bless be safe
Your insight and the education is invaluable! Thank you for the breakdown and for serving! You are an American Hero! All you guys and gals are!
Great stuff! Glad to see someone doing legit movie break down and giving the right perspective to what's on screen. Keep up the good work, God bless brother! 👍
Hey thanks for the breakdown.
I love how you guys are coming out of the teams and transitioning easily into teaching others skills and your wisdom in life, even when it is unrelated to combat.
Much love.
3:13... I chuckled. I am a civilian, but I live in the North East in the woods and I do the same thing. It has gotten to the point that when I am outside at night and I don't hear them any more (usually uncounciously), I know something big is in that area. There were two seperate times that it ended up being a black bear. I found this out because both times, I had gone inside and 5-15 minutes after, my game camera caught them walking through the area I was in. It was my fault because I was sitting right near the "animal highway" in my yard, haha.
I've known Senior Chief Dave for several years now, great guy and just a massive human being. Love his values and his family is nothing but welcoming and loving.
A very good man.
🙏
The lighting and the camera work in this video are spot on. Enjoyed the look of the video as much as your insights. Thank you for all you did, and do.
Thank you. A one man show is hard but I’m getting it slowly.
Be blessed.
Jason - Thanks for your service and thank you for the breakdown of these movies.
Yes sir. Thank you.
Have a great night and God bless.
Nice, I really do like this type of breakdown as it helps to understand if what we watch has as much realism as we like to think. Act of Valor I've seen probably 20 times now, love it. And 13 hours, about 8 times.
Thank you.
Have a great day and God bless.
Just subscribed. We have been at war in the ME for so long we have a lot of seasoned combat vets. Thank you for what you do.
That we have.
Be blessed.
Thank you for your thorough & articulate commentary and insight. One of the best, if not THE best, expert breakdown I’ve listened to. Great job, sir!
Thank you for the words.
🙏
This channel is a hidden gem. Thank you again for taking the time to drop some knowledge and experience on us.
Thank you for the words.
Be blessed.
Thanks for the education. It all makes sense when you break it down. I spent 18 years in the 82nd in the Army, but I don’t have NEARLY as much tactical experience as the average Special Operator. Again, thank you.
Sir, you are awesome! Bring us more! Thank you for your service!
This is well-made. I've never seen any of these shows/movies, but you're being very fair. You understand that certain things cannot be done and other things are changed for artistic reasons.
Thank you.
God bless.
Thanks for your insight frogman, I appreciate your service.
Jim Powell speaking here.
Your breakdown was great. As an old Navy vet, an Airedale to be exact, I often wondered how much was a reality in these movies. I also liked the swift boats and the fire power they possess. I appreciate the SEALS dedication and how you study the enemy. How you execute a mission.
Thank you.
Have a great night and God bless.
What a real pleasure hearing you speak, I'm really picky when I watch a video through. You are really good, excellent speaking, something for me to learn from. It's funny I have Acts of Valor on my computer and I watched it a bunch of times. Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver greatly affected my way of thinking as well as C.P.O. David Goggins. Thank you for your video.
Much appreciated. Take what you need and throw what you don’t need out.
Be blessed.
Awesome breakdown. Love this guy, makes me proud to have Americans like him who have served and are serving. More of this please!
🙏
Love this break down. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Great video. God bless you for everything you have done for this country. You are a true hero. Thank you.
Thank you for the words.
Be blessed.
I'm a ex military dependent from my whole life dad did 26 years mom did 22 years both retired and man it was rough growing up always moving from country to country or state to state never was able to make true friends for life or a place to call home. Thank you for your service great videos. "Do or die, "no retreat". No wonder no other country we fight against or terrorists could beat our special forces they work very precise and take every little detail into account don't let your body eclipse the moon work around any lights and everything else something so small you would never think of even listen to wild life if it's stays active the sound or it gets quit to tell if someone is around
Loved the analysis! Although you crushed me with the hands out of the water catching the tango falling in the water😂
Lol. Ya I don’t watch any movies anymore due to that same issue. Most of it is a joke these days.
Have a great night and God bless.
we need more of these movies analysis.. Loved that.
Thank you for serving!
Thank you for reviewing this movie it's one of my favorite military movies or TV shows
You’re welcome.
Have a great night and God bless.
Great insight and breakdown. Will have to watch these movies now they look good!
You definitely should do more breakdowns of movies or games you have a unique and interesting viewpoint on it all. That and you seem like a really down to earth and chill guy!
Subscribed and look foward to more content!

I knew act of valor guys were the real deal, you can just tell by the way they talk and carried themselves. Ya ll are special humans brother. Thank you for everything
I really appreciate the succinct way you explain the subjects that you cover.

God Bless You , Shipmate . I was a surface fleet OS from 1985 to 1995 . During my time I was a member of the SSDF on a DDG and a CG , and an MP in a forward deployed port . On a few occasions we were the training targets for enemy swimmer attacks . For the sake of national security I will not divulge the US Navy fleet's methods of defending their assets . But I will say that being a combat diver is probably the most demanding job in any military branch , and defense against combat swimmers is a specialized type of warfare .
You are right. Diving against those things is a lose lose situation. Almost 100% failure rate.
Be blessed.
Awesome reaction. Thank you for your service and God Bless.
Thank you.
God bless
great breakdown for us common folks. and for the rpg minimum arming distance, i remember an old episode of mythbusters where they looked at that crazy scene from "red" where a small caliber met an rpg mid air and detonated. the kid in me walked away remembering just that safe distances exist and that the rpg was something like 40m
I absolutly love the way people that handle weapons alot speak
The arm movement while explaining something. As if. when holding a rifle so amazing to see
I appreciate you stating where you gained your personal experience and perspective.
You’re welcome.
Have a great night and God bless.
Very technical explanations. There is a reason why things are done the way they are...great review!
Thank you.
Be blessed.
Easily one of the best "expert reviews" I have seen. He is so calm and professional. I could watch Jason Pike videos all day! One thing that always bugged me are those floodlit forests in movies!

Awesome, great break down
good information. loved the window exposer comment. you were so kind. stop and look into the window. the seal was just checking out how good he looked. ")

"I'm not sure if this was a Hollywood thing, or a training scar" lmao, epic.
Really excellent video Jason. Really appreciate hearing everything you had to say as you were breaking it down. Thanks for your service sir and thanks for the video.
Thank you.
Have a great night and God bless.
@@frogmantactical would like to hear your opinions on Afghanistan right now sir. Biden and America for that matter.. sheesh. Saigon all over again... but way way way worse even... I know you know this.. but uhm a taliban controlled country means those fighters are gonna be way more capable of plotting and infiltrating other countries ... North America...
@@frogmantactical "welcome to great reset, unce vunderbar time" says klaus swab lol......
Hell yeah.. AOV is one of my all time faves.. The fact that they used actual Seals to act this allowed for perfect fluidity when they were shooting the gun play.. Incredible film this..
Agreed 💯
God bless
The movie was based from the main characters real life missions he did while serving on the Teams and him jumping on the grenade was a dedication to his friend who died in Ramadi, Iraq who was awarded the MOH -PO2 Michael Monsoon
this was wonderful and great info, thanks
Thank you.
God bless.
Wasn't Special Operations, but I did train as a Special Weapons Team member in an 8 inch SP firing battery between Fall of 1981 to January 1986. I had to train not only to assemble the weapon, but also secure it. None of the OpFor we faced during training seemed to have an idea of how to take us out. Every time I had to deal with such a situation I would do the easiest thing to disable the device. The weapon was inoperable minus some components that were easy to carry so those were what I had my team take off with when our assembly area was attacked.
Thank you. Very interesting.
Love your take! Thanks for the video!
Thank you.
🙏
GREAT stuff...also MY favs. Thanks!
You’re welcome.
Have a great night and God bless.
Awesome breakdown man. I love when actual SF guys breakdown how real some movies are, it gives us civies a little window into actual situations. You should definitely do some more like, Lone Survivor, 12 Strong, Black Hawk Down, etc. My only "critique" is you should put the title of the movie you're reviewing somewhere in screen so the viewers can watch the full movie at another time. Lastly I was surprised Zero Datk Thirty was made only because Seal Team 6, like Delta, operations are heavily classified, & they aren't usually shown to the public. Which is probably why there are almost no movies with Delta members or team 6. Keep up the good work
There are 2 Lone Survivors on my channel already. Up next is SEAL Team CBS.
🙏

Likewise brother.

Thank you sir ❤
GREAT CONTENT SIR! 💪
Dude, I love your breakdowns. Also, I would love to hear your story times. Just sit in front of the camera and go thru some missions that you can talk about. Maybe it might be some therapy for you and informative for us. But that’s up to you. Just a thought. I have a buddy that was a SWCCC Boat Captain. Great guy that I grew up with and graduated with. I would really like to hear your story tho. Thanks.
Thank you for all the info you give and all the truth and facts of what really happens in the combat over there then what Hollywood portrays. And your bug out bag video was great I do and was taught everything you taught your kids from my dad for the security part and use of weapons and eagle scouts in cannada taught me the every type of climate and weather conditions that you would go through surviving a bad situation where you had to bug out with family and weapons and go survive and leave home. So awsome you reaching your kids and educating the public as well I took a few things from you as in when family is grabbing thier bags and equipment always have one person knealing with the gun to be an gaurd from attacks while everyone is getting ready. And also these videos like how to use nature to advantage to see if anyone else is around and other combat tactics as well. My dad taught me alot so did mom cuse dad served 26 years in a combat radar unit in airforce and mom did 15 in combat radar unit as well.
The directors commentary on Act Of Valor is amazing.
Great video, I love that hat!
Met some other folks in my after life for jungle training in Belize. Your teammates housed at BATSUB... good times!
This is one of the best of its type
My favourite tidbit about the swcc scene laying hate to the enemy was the scene used live ammo since it was cheaper and thats what they use in training.
It was legit for sure.
God bless
Really liked the chill vibes of this. No crazy editing, just a knowledgeable dude talking about his craft. I enjoyed the relaxing lighting and good sound editing with the nature and clip sounds
One piece of constructive criticism though, I wish you'd title or say the name of the film in the video
Noted. Thank you.
🙏
