Yeah in otter. At first I was disappointed that they gave him a pink hoodie and since his my favorite operator I was disappointed they didn’t gave him cool outfits in the battle passes, but, now that I’ve seen this video I’ll be using that pink outfit
Thought I recognised him in game from this vid didn’t know if it was intentional or coincidence. Might have to fork out for some cod points and buy him
Reza Alfarizi Arsyad Otter, if I remember correctly his skin is called “Safehouse.” That being said it’s not completely accurate, the balaclava is a different color and his shirt is a really annoying pink
I'm American, but this video gave me chills. The SAS are some of the most elite soldiers on this planet. And I'm certainly glad they are allies of ours 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Joshua Beheler I wish there were more interviews of seals or US special forces talking about joint operations with UKSF and what they thought of them. Obviously because SAS and SBS are very secretive so we have no idea what goes on
@Astuteous Maximus uh excuse me ? A little salt ? Act your age mate first of all I never said that the SAS is not good . Second because they are so damn good that's exactly why everything they do they keep it in the shadows . Always in the shadows . If you want to play the smartass at least get your facts straight mate . And don't start that toxicity over nothing . I just said my opinion ( nope ) and you go " oh you salty-accept they are gods " ok man they are:) only them man no-one else . No devgru no Russian SSO no one . Only the SAS man .
@Astuteous Maximus The thing is I never said I don't like the SAS in fact I really like then and respect them as all the other SF in the world Every country has their own tier 1 u can't just compare them like you are doing right now. Here u are talking about Hollywood stuff .. If you want to get it there then talk about all the American movies made about Seals don't bring the Russians up to Hollywood we all know the Russians are always the bad/traitors/weak in Hollywood movies:) fun fact that their moto is really against traitors and being bad and weak . The other thing now . No I'm not talking about Alpha team or Vympel or any of the FSB teams . Those guys are sure beasts but they are not SSO(SOF) Russian SSO is a whole different level compare to Alpha team ( or any other FSB-FSO Team) As for the SAS as I said before search a little bit more about them then you'll understand what I mean . There's 0.03% of their operations/missions that you really can see that it's the SAS those glorious beasts keep everything in the shadows and that's one thing that make them be so good at their job . And I'm telling you this again you said salt and whatever you said so please :) don't need to be like that we all can be like that trust me . ( sorry for the bad English tho I try my best to be understand)
@BestJob IveEverHad the mark of a true hero is an unknown one.. the guy is a legend, as all special forces "especially" the SAS are!! Along with what they have to do, live thru and see what they see. They can become casualties also. Bless them all and the guy in this video ultimate professional warrior
Every time I watch this video, it fills me with immense pride to be able to say that this man is British. He has done more for the UK's international reputation than any of our politicians could ever hope to do. He has personified the image of The Regiment and he embodies all that is good in this World. Courage, Bravery and selfless dedication to save the lives of so many people on what could have been their last day on Earth.
And not a single British official did so much as thank him. The only political figure to personally say thank you was Donald Trump. Still proud to be British? I’m not.
the SAS guy only helped evacuate a few people it's our Recce Squad that did the entire job, am so tired of repeating this. The comments here are stink of ignorance, youtube should pull this clip down
Not all Heroes have a face. Whether you come from the UK, the US, Kenya, Russia, France, or wherever in the world, thanks for your service from an Italian civillian
My nation of origin is Guyana - once part of the British Commonwealth - the Guyana Defence Force has connections to the British Army : beyond proud to be part an elite military unit that's revered around the world. Sir David Stirling's legacy remains intact.
I trained in jungle survival down past the Annai airstrip with an ex SAS soldier based near Surama close to the Rewa river. I really like Guyana hope to go back.
The bold white guy with yellow shirt seen every now and then next to the S.A.S operative is actually a South African special forces and tactical instructor. He was also commended for his support and rescue of civilians that day.
@@bgrkaris its not, Australian and American diplomatic security forces were there although they did not take such a forward position as the SAS operator did. This can be partially attributed to the fact that they aren't as heavily armed usually carrying sidearms only.
@@mac1975 Note how I do not identify the man in the picture as being part of this group. If you could simply read, you would understand that I was saying those groups were present but may not have taken such a forward position, although there is evidence to point to the contrary. My info is also not bullshit given that I got it from Kenyan police press releases, statements from the various embassies, and numerous newspaper articles. As well as the fact that the Australian embassy is less than 100 meters away, so you can inherently assume that their security personnel would be present. If you don't believe me take a look at the Wikipedia page stating what I have said and the corresponding sources. So instead of assuming only you are right, you braindead fuck, let's not call bullshit to quickly you absolute cunt.
I watched a few of his interviews he was there for 18 hrs and left when all terrorists were neutralised. His name is Christian Craighead, he’s left the military now and was working for the Americans as a security contractor but wasn’t happy, he now owns a company that flys to natural disasters to save victims. Absolute amazing man watch his interviews.

Thank you Canada, unbelievable bravery shown throughout the two horrible World wars. I may have this wrong, or at least the words jumbled up, but a German general highlighted an offensive on the western front by elite allied forces; when asked which part of the British army was due to pounce, he replied Canada. They then knew shit was gonna get real.
Being British 🇬🇧 and ex-army myself, Iv never been more proud of our SAS living legends. This video actually made me cry with how brave he was on that day, also showing why our special forces are a cut above the rest👍🏼
The SAS don’t fuck about. We are very lucky to have such an elite fighting force. All SAS soldiers are the bravest of the brave- God bless the SAS!!! And, their brothers the SBS!!!!
This guy is incredible, one man... one man. He activates his training, works with people he doesn't know, put's his life at risk repeatedly and gets the job done. As an Australian, I'm thankful we have the Brits, Canadian and Americans by our sides. It's actually unfair to our enemies how lethal this combination is....
You to mate...I served with US..Brits...never had a field chance with Anzaks...CDN here...we would kick each others ass in a bar...then get drunk together after. You had to prove yourself with tough boys becoming men.
@@bommie : Just like the terrorists in the Iranian Embassy Siege (1980) - out of the six terrorists there, FIVE got killed and one of them (according to reports) got shot EIGHTY times - certainly not the people to be on the wrong side of!.
i lived in Kenya and the Kenya army train based on the british army and are very good . Their soldiers are brave and very capable. The SAS are a different matter all together however... they are the best in the world, my father was ex SAS and we never even knew he was until he died and a whole load of SAS guys turned up at his funeral! SAS reign supreme, they arr exceptionally brave and strangely humble as well.... Just never make the mistake of thinking humble is fear and take one on!!! Oh one more thing my father had some Ghurka in his regiment and he reckoned they were awesome soldiers... Though again I never knew they must also have been SAS!
thats why we raised regiments of ghurkas before the Nepalese wars were over!!! both mine and my wife's grandfathers fought alongside the ghurkas in Burma, and the admiration for these warriors never left them.
Its like a honor for them to be selected for the british army its a big deal for them train when there realy young ......if you need a trench or bunker cleard send the gurkas in brutal get the job done
Watching obi wan Nairobi (Christian) work is amazing. Everyone is running out, he keeps running back in. We’re so lucky to have men like this defending the defenseless. Thank you Christian.
They're still SOF, and SOF can generally have whatever small arms they choose. The KDF, while professional and relatively well equipped for an armed service of their size and military budget, do not widely issue this rifle and the majority of their forces use a mixture of older G3 variants, and American M4 rifles.
He did what he did because he wanted to, no praise, no bragging just glad to help. No matter what the cost to himself. The word hero is used too often and I'm sure he would not want that tagged to him. God bless that man.
Thank you for covering this. Not enough videos highlighting what this man did for a country not even his own. He truly displays the type of action men should hope to exemplify. I can only hope one day I can emulate a fraction of his bravery.
No one’s covering this because it doesn’t contribute to global instability and finger-pointing. It’s a British guy on vacation at the right time in the right place. Saving Africans… that doesn’t help promote the race war.
Proper solid lads, honestly better than any other special forces on the globe. It's mad to know how one special forces operator has the minerals to step up to such a horrific event.
When fellow Scot Sir David Stirling came up with the idea of an SAS whilst recuperating on his hospital bed, I wonder had he envisioned his “Hit and run” teams going in like this, literally running singlehandedly, against whatever odds and coming out on top. This man is a credit to humankind, no frills, no book deals, no kudos and no matter...jobs a good un, lives saved, all the thanks he’ll ever need!
Very respectful video on this tragedy. Respect to the SAS man machine. Obviously he and the Kenyans knew he had the superior training, but to actually step up and apply it is amazing.
Well done to all security services. But it still prooves our boys S.A.S can still do the job in hand one S.A.S person can unleash hell what a bloke bless the S.A.S love all of you
@@apropercuppa8612 Wow Melaka.. State of history.. A lot of Netherland's memorial building.. But thats on peninsular Malaysia.. Far from my state but glad to hear that.. 😁👍
I reminded of the Spartans. When another city state asked Sparta for military aid one Spartan Hoplite would be sent. This served as an insult and a warning. The insult was to the state asking for help, one Spartan is all the help you need and the warning was to their enemy, one Spartan is all it takes to defeat you. This SAS Trooper is the one Spartan without the insult to the Kenyans...
like I said his name is Chris Ryan, check out the video BRAVO TWO ZERO, or check out the tv show called HUNTING CHRIS RYAN. Soldiersaint thanks for the very kind comments towards the SAS.
His willingness to go forth and place himself between the enemy and strangers is absolutely awe inspiring. I hope this man is well today, we may not know his identity for years to come but I'd love to buy this man a beer and listen to a story or two.
I'm from Glasgow so I have seen a lot of hard men but this guy is a hero, very brave and as a British citizen I am very grateful we have the best trained armed forces in the world.
If you are an indigenous Scot you are not a Citizen you are a Subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II please learn the difference. Many of our military brethren died defending these Islands from people like Napoleon and Hitler.
I’m from Glasgow served in the Scottish regiments I had 2 mates who done SAS selection both went to 22 were all now retired I see them at george square every year only our regiment no who they are in the parade they wear there old regiments glen garry but we all no they can wear the famous berry
To the SAS operative. I salute you sir. To the Kenyan army who supported him. Thank you. Very brave men who helped preserve the life of those unfortunate people. Who ever you are. You can stand tall. Thank you.
there is no team work on the video! vice versa ! the actions of the special forces are scattered! a British specialist generally runs around, you’ll understand where))) one. to work alone in such an environment is a disregard for the lives of the hostages! well, and his own) I think he was under some kind of substance)))) taking out the hostages - he didn’t even look in the direction of dangerat all!
That's a real man, he's there and he asks to help. Doesn't ask what President they vodeted for or where they from or even for their color. This is a REAL man. Good job mate.
Another great video mate, well done!! This trooper is an absolute Legend....... it's a typical display of bravery and initiative that is common from the British SF's. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
My neighbour was SAS, all along he promised his wife that when he was due for retirement he was leaving the army. On retirement he duly left the SAS and joined the Australian SAS as a trainer within a couple of weeks. A great guy but I think his wife was more than a little bit annoyed.
Nah seals are silent anymore like elite units, guys want to be Seals now cause they want to be hot shots in eyes of public, Seal movies and being public got a huge boost in people wanting to tryout to be seals, old generation Seals don’t even like the new
Brave man. He helped save many people. Proud of his efforts and dedication in the midst of a catastrophe. May he have a long, healthy life filled with happiness and fulfillment
It said at the end of the video that he was also nominated for a George Cross. This is a British award for gallantry in the face of extreme danger, but not in enemy presence. I'm assuming this is because the incident wasn't during a war. But he more than earned it.
@LaPugsley Go read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service#Influence_on_other_special_forces en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Marine_Infantry_Paratroopers_Regimenten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Band_(World_War_II)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Special_Air_Service As for the SBS having a shared heritage, yes in the way that they were two special forces raised during WW2 but not really. Roger Courtney and David Stirling didn't know each other, just like they didn't know Orde Wingate. And Delta was founded by Charles Beckwith, who was seconded to the SAS and wanted to form an SAS style special force in the US Army. And SBS being the first special forces? Nope, not at all.
This British SAS member is a hero!! These members are so selfless and make me hold to hope for humanity to learn to be good to one another and to always help others when you can. Thank you Airman for your devotion to help others, you are forever engrained in my memory. And special thank you to the person who made this video and allowing us to see these good deeds. May the SAS live long and fruitful!! "Who Dares Wins"
Bloody hell, talk.about cool under fire, this guy is one brave man who went way beyond the call of duty going back time and time and to rescue the people trapped inside. Respect.

I may have this wrong, or at least the words jumbled up, but a German general highlighted an offensive on the western front by elite allied forces; when asked which part of the British army was due to pounce, he replied Canada.
They then knew shit was gonna get real.
God bless Agnes Wanjiru's family
God bless our brothers Canada
Being British 🇬🇧 and ex-army myself, Iv never been more proud of our SAS living legends.
This video actually made me cry with how brave he was on that day, also showing why our special forces are a cut above the rest👍🏼
The SAS don’t fuck about. We are very lucky to have such an elite fighting force. All SAS soldiers are the bravest of the brave- God bless the SAS!!! And, their brothers the SBS!!!!
Thanks for the compliment bro God bless you :)
SBS?
Don't forget the SRR
gair henderson -yes, you are right - I forgot about the SRR (Special Reconnaissance Regiment) - also truly elite and capable group
we have 6 units of sf in the uk,not just sas or sbs
This guy is incredible, one man... one man. He activates his training, works with people he doesn't know, put's his life at risk repeatedly and gets the job done.
As an Australian, I'm thankful we have the Brits, Canadian and Americans by our sides.
It's actually unfair to our enemies how lethal this combination is....
You to mate...I served with US..Brits...never had a field chance with Anzaks...CDN here...we would kick each others ass in a bar...then get drunk together after. You had to prove yourself with tough boys becoming men.
Red white and blue..
Well he did know them as he was there to help train them but yeah crazy how training kicks in
This 💯🔥🔥
Did you know that we the turks fucked up all of them in ww1 and ww2. Don't talk shit and read history. Turkish soldiers are and will the best forever.
To their credit the Kenyan military conducted themselves in a professional manner exhibiting braveness, good tactical awareness and movement.
SAS best soldiers in the world.
Everbody: Run for your lives.
SAS Soldier: I'm Coming!
Also works the other way around:
I'm coming!!
Run for your lives!

LION HEART! A true BRITISH WARRIOR of the BRITISH SAS 🇬🇧 I'm proud to call you my country man ,bless you for your bravery 🇬🇧👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How many people did this man save, or help save? Whatever it cost to train him, was well spent. Much respect to this man!
700 people
Cheers to the SAS trooper from a brother in America.
The actions of this SAS trooper makes you proud to be British..
Great respect for SAS 🇬🇧 from 🇵🇱 🕊️
🇵🇱🤝🇬🇧
As an American we are proud to have you guys on our side
I saw an interview with this guy Christian, and he said he was accepted into the SAS on his last attempt!
Don't know if u ever going to see this Chris. I love u man,may God bless u n protect u all days of ur life,a simple Uruguayan guy living in NZ!
now thats a pair of bollocks thank god for the SAS
@Shaun Davenport yes my man
Massive set of bollocks mate 👍🏻
Later 2 trucks arrived and the SAS trooper left on the first, his balls left on the second
i lived in Kenya and the Kenya army train based on the british army and are very good . Their soldiers are brave and very capable. The SAS are a different matter all together however... they are the best in the world, my father was ex SAS and we never even knew he was until he died and a whole load of SAS guys turned up at his funeral! SAS reign supreme, they arr exceptionally brave and strangely humble as well.... Just never make the mistake of thinking humble is fear and take one on!!! Oh one more thing my father had some Ghurka in his regiment and he reckoned they were awesome soldiers... Though again I never knew they must also have been SAS!
thats why we raised regiments of ghurkas before the Nepalese wars were over!!!
both mine and my wife's grandfathers fought alongside the ghurkas in Burma, and the admiration for these warriors never left them.
💪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💪
Its like a honor for them to be selected for the british army its a big deal for them train when there realy young ......if you need a trench or bunker cleard send the gurkas in brutal get the job done
nice you just broke the official secrets act
@@louis2614 No he didn't. He said that is deceased father was in the SAS - why on Earth would you think that broke the Official Secrets Act?
Watching obi wan Nairobi (Christian) work is amazing. Everyone is running out, he keeps running back in. We’re so lucky to have men like this defending the defenseless. Thank you Christian.
Kenya's army looks well equipped, SCAR H is not a cheap weapon to be sure.
They're still SOF, and SOF can generally have whatever small arms they choose. The KDF, while professional and relatively well equipped for an armed service of their size and military budget, do not widely issue this rifle and the majority of their forces use a mixture of older G3 variants, and American M4 rifles.
Cream Puff but they dont even know how to use it
@@teamorbz4463 we know how to use it
@@teamorbz4463 you're underestimating them. That's how Blackhawks go down and the plan goes awol, man.
Edu Wino the SAS operator did more than the entire battalion of the kenyan SF
Salute And Respect From Malaysia..From Your Common Wealth Allies..
🇲🇾🇬🇧
Wow man 🥹💪🏾🪖 so glad i enlisted, motivating and inspiring asf!
DO NOT MESS WITH THE SAS
Makes me shed a tear. Love from the US
It's also fascinating to see armed civilians who also joins the efforts in rescuing the trapped civilians
He did what he did because he wanted to, no praise, no bragging just glad to help. No matter what the cost to himself. The word hero is used too often and I'm sure he would not want that tagged to him. God bless that man.
First man in, last man out. The SAS are hand down the most elite soldiers in the world. Every Special Forces group on earth are based on the SAS
He was on the Shawn Ryan show recently. He actually wasn't requested to give assistance, he just did. Balls of British Steel!
Terrorist attack happening.
Lone SAS Trooper: Hold my pint.
When all of us would run away from danger, This man runs towards it. Absolutely fearless.
Thank you for covering this. Not enough videos highlighting what this man did for a country not even his own. He truly displays the type of action men should hope to exemplify. I can only hope one day I can emulate a fraction of his bravery.
No one’s covering this because it doesn’t contribute to global instability and finger-pointing.
It’s a British guy on vacation at the right time in the right place. Saving Africans… that doesn’t help promote the race war.
Proper solid lads, honestly better than any other special forces on the globe. It's mad to know how one special forces operator has the minerals to step up to such a horrific event.
I know it is a bit late for an comment but I just want to say that he is a hero as well as the Kenyan military and the civilians that helped him
It’s never too late to comment 😂
Gosh, this is one heck of a man. Thank God there are men like this in this world.
When fellow Scot Sir David Stirling came up with the idea of an SAS whilst recuperating on his hospital bed, I wonder had he envisioned his “Hit and run” teams going in like this, literally running singlehandedly, against whatever odds and coming out on top. This man is a credit to humankind, no frills, no book deals, no kudos and no matter...jobs a good un, lives saved, all the thanks he’ll ever need!
Well basically after all look how he proved the idea
He probably just does some menial job now…
He would be proud. The spirit of Paddy Mayne.
Very respectful video on this tragedy. Respect to the SAS man machine. Obviously he and the Kenyans knew he had the superior training, but to actually step up and apply it is amazing.
British SAS and SBS, big respect from Brazil.
Well done to all security services. But it still prooves our boys S.A.S can still do the job in hand one S.A.S person can unleash hell what a bloke bless the S.A.S love all of you

I reminded of the Spartans. When another city state asked Sparta for military aid one Spartan Hoplite would be sent. This served as an insult and a warning. The insult was to the state asking for help, one Spartan is all the help you need and the warning was to their enemy, one Spartan is all it takes to defeat you. This SAS Trooper is the one Spartan without the insult to the Kenyans...
skol
Hello. As a Kenyan i would just like to say thank you for your service
the best in the world, we should all be proud of SAS. Thank you.
The best at chocking and killing Kenyan women? Yes: Agnes Wanjiru
Shawn Ryan's interview with him is awesome.
Happy to see British SF SAS/SBS lads starting to go back old school and keeping things quiet. None of this publicity lark.
Sadly the SBS is little known and hero's too :)
Nicely said Estelle... They are indeed
He has an Instagram account now @christian_craighead
What a lad, I'm proud to be British because if the great things we did in the past and we have the most elite regiment in the world.
@Gomer Gilligan thank you
Seeing those civilians run out to safety was the very definition of heartwarming.
Worked these guys a few times, was always astonished by their bravery and skill. Only downside is never trust them with your chocolate biscuits
George In London 😂😂😂😂🇬🇧👊🏼
U got that one right mate😂
Watch Paras especially. 😂
Haha what you gonna do lol
Or a half empty mug of tea.

Long live cooperation between Britain & Kenyan armed forces. Bloke did a good job. An excellent, thoroughly researched video.
A lot of people are amazed by his actions, but to him it’s just another day at the office. Whatta badass!
A Genuine Hero. God Bless him and Bro's in Arms. Respect.
Wish you guys would come out here to the US. You Brits would solve this crap real quick. You guys rock!
like I said his name is Chris Ryan, check out the video BRAVO TWO ZERO, or check out the tv show called HUNTING CHRIS RYAN. Soldiersaint thanks for the very kind comments towards the SAS.
Why do say that, jeez you've got the navy seals.
it is already in his blood of being a brave SAS no hesitation just to help others to survive this gives me CHILLS... LOVE FROM PHILIPPINES
His willingness to go forth and place himself between the enemy and strangers is absolutely awe inspiring. I hope this man is well today, we may not know his identity for years to come but I'd love to buy this man a beer and listen to a story or two.
He is well and retired. And he has an Instagram. The guy above me has the username
He’s been interviewed n TikTok. Amazing story - especially what happened earlier on in the day.
I'm from Glasgow so I have seen a lot of hard men but this guy is a hero, very brave and as a British citizen I am very grateful we have the best trained armed forces in the world.
If you are an indigenous Scot you are not a Citizen you are a Subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II please learn the difference. Many of our military brethren died defending these Islands from people like Napoleon and Hitler.

Incredible footage. Thank you for the upload.
So proud of our military. So brave and doing the right thing.
SAS and SBS are legendary.
This video does an excellent job at highlighting the bravery of everyone involved and the incredible power of teamwork. Very well done.
there is no team work on the video! vice versa ! the actions of the special forces are scattered! a British specialist generally runs around, you’ll understand where))) one. to work alone in such an environment is a disregard for the lives of the hostages! well, and his own) I think he was under some kind of substance)))) taking out the hostages - he didn’t even look in the direction of dangerat all!
That's a real man, he's there and he asks to help. Doesn't ask what President they vodeted for or where they from or even for their color. This is a REAL man. Good job mate.
so proud to be British ... these men of the sas are quiet , polite, brave and dangerous
In the case of Paddy Mayne, extremely dangerous when roused.......
He was deigned to do what he did. He reacted the best way he knew. What a show of courage.
Another great video mate, well done!!
This trooper is an absolute Legend....... it's a typical display of bravery and initiative that is common from the British SF's. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
My neighbour was SAS, all along he promised his wife that when he was due for retirement he was leaving the army. On retirement he duly left the SAS and joined the Australian SAS as a trainer within a couple of weeks. A great guy but I think his wife was more than a little bit annoyed.
SAS trooper on vaction: "Make no big deal out of it."
Same situation, Navy SEAL: "Where do i sign my hollywood contract?"
MrPainfulTruth deal wouldn’t even want his face covered and would pose for camera
That’s a bit harsh,most of them are ok,have you in 2seconds
Nah seals are silent anymore like elite units, guys want to be Seals now cause they want to be hot shots in eyes of public, Seal movies and being public got a huge boost in people wanting to tryout to be seals, old generation Seals don’t even like the new

Brave man. He helped save many people. Proud of his efforts and dedication in the midst of a catastrophe. May he have a long, healthy life filled with happiness and fulfillment
This chap has just been awarded the "Conspicuous gallantry cross". People like this make me proud to be British.
It said at the end of the video that he was also nominated for a George Cross. This is a British award for gallantry in the face of extreme danger, but not in enemy presence. I'm assuming this is because the incident wasn't during a war. But he more than earned it.
Respect from Greece! Our Special Forces are based on the SAS with the same moto!
Who Dares Wins!
The SAS has a shared heritage with a lot of special forces units, Belgium, Australia, NZ, even the US Delta force.
@LaPugsley No, those units have seperate origins. You clearly haven't got a clue. Go and read about the SAS in WW2 and Charles Beckwith.
@LaPugsley Go read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service#Influence_on_other_special_forces en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Marine_Infantry_Paratroopers_Regimenten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Band_(World_War_II)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Special_Air_Service
As for the SBS having a shared heritage, yes in the way that they were two special forces raised during WW2 but not really. Roger Courtney and David Stirling didn't know each other, just like they didn't know Orde Wingate. And Delta was founded by Charles Beckwith, who was seconded to the SAS and wanted to form an SAS style special force in the US Army.
And SBS being the first special forces? Nope, not at all.
Absolutely! The free Greek were one of the first companies in the SAS in WWII. As a Brit, big respect to the Greeks.
SBS & the Scared Band! Yes!
I’m American. This video game me chills, SAS soldiers are so badass dude. Thank god we are allies!! Thank you to all who have served!!
This British SAS member is a hero!! These members are so selfless and make me hold to hope for humanity to learn to be good to one another and to always help others when you can. Thank you Airman for your devotion to help others, you are forever engrained in my memory. And special thank you to the person who made this video and allowing us to see these good deeds. May the SAS live long and fruitful!! "Who Dares Wins"
Bloody hell, talk.about cool under fire, this guy is one brave man who went way beyond the call of duty going back time and time and to rescue the people trapped inside. Respect.
A symbol of Hope! A light in the darkest hours!
