Many ppl dont get it. I dont agree with how many American's think, but I will die to give that American that right to think how they want to think. We F*** with each other badly sometimes. But, if another country/group/terrorist wants to force something on one of our brother/sisters, you will get fu**ed by us. We will fight to the death "probably your death" for our countrymen/women to have their freedom. Even from our own gov...
That moment when Seal Team 6 circled around her and laid down on top of her she was THE ABSOLUTE safest person in the world. There was literally nothing in the world more protected than her.
Jessica has since spoken for and helped raise funds for the families of fallen Navy S.E.A.L.s and also for injured SEALs as well. My late brother was a career Navy man and a former SEAL and I have had the honor of knowing a great many of them over the years. They are a different breed. The finest kind.
As an American, when I heard they handed her an American flag, it choked me up for a moment. As an American and a Texan, patriotism is taught from infancy.
Jessica later learned that the charity organization that she was working for, and her co-worker were warned of a possible kidnapping attempt, yet they never informed her. The security team that the charity organization hired in Somalia were in on the kidnapping. Jessica was reasonably upset at this and never returned. It all could have been avoided.
I am an American combat veteran . I can't find the words to say how much good you both have just done . I have so much respect for both of you. Thank you for this and God bless you both.
You both need to know that the British SAS and other British Special Forces have and would do the same. Trust me as a former American serviceman, you Brits have some badass teams.
Hello from Switzerland! You are a lovely couple! Thank you soooo much for the care, reverence and attention you show to my fellow Veterans, my Brothers & Sisters!

24 seals jumped from a plane miles away from the bandit camp. They crouch walked for miles and even rotated their formation to make sure they were against the wind.
@@ericyirka684Makes me think of the movie GI Jane where Master Chief schools a recruit in SEAL training "The ebb and flow of the Atlantic tides, the drift in the continents, the very positioning of the Sun along its ecliptic. These are the very few things I control in my world." They take EVERYTHING into account. Scary guys.
Seal Team 6 are Badass. I live in Pensacola Beach Florida USA 🇺🇸 and Eglin Airforce Base is here and where Special Operations are trained here. God Bless America 🇺🇸 and our Military 🇺🇸👍❤️🤍💙
Eglin is in Shalimar, FL and that’s at least 60-90 minutes away. Air Force Special Operations are actually at Hurlburt and Ranger Course is in the area. DEVGRU are some bad men and women.
Our attitude towards terrorists and hijackers goes back to our 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates where Jefferson said Millions in defense but not a penny for tribute. Seal Team 6 specializes in hostage rescue.
The pirates started off asking for $40,000,000 ish, by the time the SEAL's got her and her Co-Worker out of there, we had already spent more than $100,000,000 on the rescue of them. which means that we spent more than TWICE what they originally were asking for, to NOT pay them the smaller amount, this is how much we HATE to even think about paying terrorists and thugs!
Watch a guy who calls himself The fat electrician. And watch his video about the pirates. It explains where American says," A million in defense before a cent in ransom".
Not so much hate as it is policy. If they understand that we will NOT pay out no matter what they may not bother with kidnapping americans. Pay out even once and they will keep doing it.
Jessica talks in another video that the government offers a hostage program. Jessica's first meeting with her husband was 5 minutes and was supervised because it could get to overwhelming. She also went through counseling to regain her confidence and ability to make decisions for herself because for three months that was all taken away.
As a military wife and sister of two US Army Rangers & Snipers, and many friends that are Navy Seals, it's something in their souls. It's because of the Patriotism inside of them that drives them. It's been such a privilege to be in the room with these men, and then to hear some stories around our dinner table has been beautiful to listen to and witness their love and dedication. My brother retired with 30 years of service and My husband did 32 years. Everyone of my nephews are now following in their footsteps, and dozens of our cousins.
SEAL stands for SEA, AIR, & LAND, because the job of Navy SEALs encompasses EVERY environment. SEAL Team Six has the specialty of Counter-Terrorism. They are the consummate quiet professionals. I served with them in Iraq.
In 1978 I spent the summer in Honduras working in a little village at a orphanage I was 17. There was tremendous, political and military unrest that summer that we were not conscious of before we left the states or we would have never gone. Myself, and a few members of our group were visiting the US consulate at the capital and we were gabbing around with a bunch of young marines who are not much older than us, and as we climbed into our pick up truck to leave and go back to our project this young private Looked up at us and said you guys go take care of those kids if anything happens we already have plans on how to get you out. I’ve never been so proud to be the son and the brother of the United States Marine
When you look out into the black of night and all you can see is the shadows moving like ghosts before the eruption of violence takes place; that is the fear that the U.S Military is known for as should be.
You need to react to “First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded”. Story of John Chapman left on an Afghan mountain while his team tried to recover the body of an American. Amazingly insane story. And you get to watch the aerial footage of it.
The irony is. America spent over 100 million dollars on her rescue. Twice what they were asking for. So it wasn't about the money. It's about the principal.
Where is this $100M figure coming from? As there's a lot of "costs" that would have been spent anyway. For example the 24 Navy Seals still would have needed to do a night fully loaded "combat" jump as a drill/practice, or the planes that flew them there, so would been flown. So if it did cost $100M, what amount would be considered "normal" costs.
Had Seal team members after a mission back in the seventies on my ship - we transported them to other transportation and they were in the zone and we respected their privacy and need for recovery time. They are the best there is in getting the job done - God bless and much thanks to our Navy Seals !!! GBA
Imagine feeling so safe and protected that you think you can go to one of the most dangerous places in the world and nothing can go wrong is an astonishing level of entitlement. Shout out to the navy seals that had to risk their lives because she was a strong empowered female.
I am so proud as an American that the operation team thought ahead to bring an American flag to give her once she entered that aircraft. I understand why she immediately broke down when she was handed the flag by one of our avenging angels. So much meaning behind that flag, so much meaning to be gifted a flag, so much meaning behind the respect of being gifted the flag, so much meaning to be holding the flag once again, and so much meaning to be handed the American flag by one of our avenging angels as they fly you off into the night ❤🦅🇺🇸
This story represents what most don’t realize about Americans. It doesn’t matter what our agreements or differences are. We cherish our country men and women and will fight for their life and freedoms. Do not fk with us! We are compassionate people, but when you try to make one of ours a victim, prepare for your demise. We are not playing with you!!!!
My dad was in the Navy when I was born. Me and my sister were "Navy Brats", and we lived on Navy and Marine Corp bases. We had friends whos dad was a Seal. Sometimes he would get called to action in the middle of the night and be gone for a few days. His wife, and my parents knew what he was but us kids didnt know. Military life can be really rewarding, but can also be very hard. It makes you a strong person because you just dont have a choice.
The Navy Sea, Air, & Land Teams, also known as Navy SEALs, are the US Navy's special operations force and are trained to operate in ALL ENVIRONMENTS for which they are named for, NOT just the sea. Thank you both for your insightful thoughts & reactions.
I'm always pleasantly surprised. When someone actually knows what the acronym SEAL stands for. I did quite a bit of anti- terrorist training at naval amphibious base on Coronado island. In the early 1980's. Often I have people that claim to have been SEALs. I've yet to run across one. That knows what the acronym SEAL stands for.
@@chuckbiker9400 The question is, did the original commenter actually know that before copying and pasting the opening line from the NSW SEAL Ethos web page.
@@CJ-ty8sv I have 2 answers for that. 1st I've been hearing the "I was a Navy SEAL." sense before there was such a thing as a website. 2nd those that would falsely claim such a thing (which I feel is. Stolen Valor). Are often not very smart, and quite lazy. I have zero respect for lies, nore stolen valor.
@@chuckbiker9400 Not sure why you went off on a rant about stolen Valor and false claims of people being SEAL's but if you think that ONLY SEAL's know what the acronym stands for that sadly you are deeply misinformed as there are countless numbers of people that know what it stands for that aren't, weren't and never have claimed to have been SEAL's. The original commenter never claimed to be a SEAL but that doesn't mean that the person is or isn't for one. Two, I suspect that the commenter isn't because of the fact that most of the comment is a direct copy from a web page. A SEAL likely what have put it into his own words. Again though, this doesn't mean or imply that the commenter is or isn't claiming to be or have been a SEAL. It simply means that he copied the text and pasted it into his comment. The question I was merely asking was did he know what it stood for before that. If he did, then great. If he didn't, then great too because he learned something. Again, nothing about this has anything to do with POS's that make false claims about supposed Military service. To be honest with you, there are probably more civilians that know more facts about SEAL's than any other SOF's from any other branch, simply because of media and number movies based on true stories that involved SEAL's. Again, this doesn't mean that they claim to be SEAL's nor does it mean that is any one of them spouts facts that it should be assumed that they are or were a SEAL either.
@@CJ-ty8sv let me make it simple for you. Not everyone that knows what SEAL stands for is or was a member. With that said. Anyone that was a SEAL team member. Absolutely knows what it stands for. Therefore Sherlock. It is a false claim.
The Seals had night vision glasses and their weapons had laser beams which could only be seen through night vision glasses. The captors had neither. So the seals could see them and aim at them and all they could see was the black of night. One of the keys to the successful mission.
When America has good leadership, we aren't to be messed with. I remember a quote from a military person (I forget exactly who it was, but it wasn't that long ago). Anyway, he said something like it didn't matter who it was, man, woman, or child, and it didn't matter for what cause they were fighting, but if they decided to fight America, I swear that someone else will be raising your children. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like that. When our country has had enough of dealing with these types of folks, it is game over. It honestly makes me a little ashamed right now, because there are still numerous American hostages being held by Hamas and they have been held since October 7th, 2023. I sincerely hope that some very good people are allowing them to stay hostages because it is for a huge tactical advantage, but I don't have any faith in our current leadership. The second these types of groups feel they can gain an advantage and we bow to their request, it does nothing but open the flood gates and invite more of the same actions, and the demands of these types of groups only get more extreme. We can't go down that road. I am 50 years old and have never served, but both of my grandfathers fought in WW2, with one of them being at Pearl Harbor. They are both dead now, but I remember something one of them told me a long time ago (around 1995) and we were talking while we were fishing, and he was telling some stories about his experiences in the service. He told me something I never have forgotten, and he said to never forget that freedom is never free and always comes at a price. He said that someone else was out paying the price right now so we could be out fishing, and talking, and have the opportunity to go home and eat and rest comfortably. He said that just because not all of us are soldiers, at any time, any citizen could be in a situation where they have to pay the ultimate price. He said that is what it means to live in a country with our type of freedom, and he said it is for that reason, the true patriots and soldiers of our country would never abandon their own, and would put themselves in harms way to do whatever it takes to keep their brothers safe and keep America free. I never have forgotten that. Many people here, especially my age, value and understand what a wonderful thing it is to live here, and we are very passionate when we have leaders that don't seem to value our military and just use it as a tool. I'm not a huge Obama fan, but in this instance and in the instance of Osama bin Laden, he did a fantastic job of making the correct decision and choosing to send in our special operators.
Thank you. The military personnel I knew were professionals. Would they go down with their bomber in a nuclear war? No. They will bring it back in case we need it again. A war does not end until the enemy has decided to stop fighting.
She had a coworker there that was British. If your ever in harms way. You better have an American with you. Because you now become part of the recovery package.
They were giving her enough to stay alive, but not enough to be strong enough to run away. I've seen videos on here, where soldiers from other countries said that they always hoped, that if they're in trouble, they want an American with them.
For 93 days she had all the time in the world to think of her family and realize they were going through this just like she was. The physical damage was all hers, but the emotional damage she knew they were all going through. She also knew that going to Somalia was dangerous, and wanted to apologize for her humanitarian work bringing trauma on her family.
The reason the Somalians asked for so much is in such places firmly believe that all Americans are insanely wealthy, because to their standards they are. They think people have millions in their bank accounts, because they have so little the think people who can afford what we have must be millionaires.
This incredible stuff has been going on behind the scenes as long I can remember. I was in the Navy and had a HS friend in the ' who was a SEAL. He told me they were dropped or went ashore into rescue or kill missions where they flat out were in firefights in places you never heard of, places in africa and S america. There are missions like this going on now.
Thank our friends from the UK, though our country isn't perfect and we have many issues with our politicians and fringe extermists, but at the core of our Nation is to represent the United States as the epitome of Democracy no matter where in the world our country is needed. There's a reason the U.S. is ever present around the world. Not only to serve & protect our citizens and assests in every corner of the world but also to serve & protect you as well when danger arises. The U K. Has a great military as well and I'm proud that our countries share the same ideals. True Americans and our military will always be there for you as well. Though we may be from different countries, but you'll always be American's in our hearts as well. Be safe, be pround... 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤✌️
"Pirating" has been a thing along the African coastline for centuries. Americas first conflict as a ntion was with the Barbary pirates in the early 1800s. No matter how much you want to, you can never pay ransoms. They will just do it again and more will try.
The US has deep and committed relationships with terrorist organizations and regimes all over the world. Just a few days ago ISIS-K carried out a terrorist attack in Russia. ISIS-K is deeply intertwined with US special ops.
@@jasonregister3494i hate democrats and disagree with most things about Obama, but he never held back on things like this. Gotta respect the good among the bad. I didn't vote for him but he never held back against terrorism.
We as Americans freedom stand on our men and women who gave the last full measure. We veterans and fellow Americans honor our heros. My heritage has the (French and Indian), seven years war. The Revolutionary war, civil war, to the beaches of Normandy, etc.
The reason is they used to be a big fishing export. With commercial fishing, it dwindled the work but they all still had boats. Because of this, some turned to pirating.
I follow her on Facebook and she is truly a very nice lady. From what I can see she tries to help others deal with trauma as well. Makes sense coming out of what she has been through to impart some love and hope to people knowing where they are at that moment because she has been there. She's one of those types that you want to see them thrive and she and her family have done so. It makes you smile when you see it knowing what she had been through.
You guys should watch the video of US Air Force Tech Sargeant John A. Chapman action in Afghanistan earned him the Medal of Honor. It was the first time in history that the actions of someone earning the Medal of Honor were recorded on video.
Navy Seals are trained to fight in the Air, on Land or in the Water. They can fight anywhere they need to. Seal Team 6 is the best of the best of the Seals.
From what I heard her brother was so grateful and inspired for what they did for his sister he enlisted into the Department of Navy and chose the Buds program From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother [william Shakespeare]
SEAL Team Six and Delta Force don't have air, ground, or sea domains. It's whoever is ready and capable of conducting the mission. In general, SEAL Team Six does mostly direct action missions. But both Delta and SEAL Team 6 conduct all types of missions and Delta Force could have done this mission just as well as SEAL Team 6.. But that is a different story. In this case, SEAL Team 6 got the mission, I don't think it would have turned out any different if Delta Force had gotten the mission. The Tier One forces in the US are among the best in the world.
7:38 - America doesn't negotiate with terrorists.. ..or at least, that's supposed to be the rule. But, I don't believe our leaders and government can stick to principles, especially nowadays.
There is another video that tells this story from the SEAL’s perspective. It is worth the watch. The guy she was with said he was thankful it was an American he was with. He did not think his country would have come for him.
The Navy SEAL leader who led the rescue of Jessica Buchanan has since retired and he wrote a very interesting book where he tells the story of this rescue from his perspective. Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys reading. The book is "MOB VI: A Seal Team Six Operator's Battles in the Fight for Good over Evil" by Justin Sheffield
Its true America spemt close to double on her rescue but hostage situations for ransom have a high probability that after the check clears the hostage is killed so a rescue by force is usually the best option with good intel and planning
Great reaction, devgru also rescues British and many of our allies. If you are kidnapped. Most likely Americans will assist in some way. Whether intelligence or boots on the ground as well.

Military life can be really rewarding, but can also be very hard. It makes you a strong person because you just dont have a choice.
The Navy Sea, Air, & Land Teams, also known as Navy SEALs, are the US Navy's special operations force and are trained to operate in ALL ENVIRONMENTS for which they are named for, NOT just the sea. Thank you both for your insightful thoughts & reactions.
I'm always pleasantly surprised. When someone actually knows what the acronym SEAL stands for. I did quite a bit of anti- terrorist training at naval amphibious base on Coronado island. In the early 1980's. Often I have people that claim to have been SEALs. I've yet to run across one. That knows what the acronym SEAL stands for.
@@chuckbiker9400 The question is, did the original commenter actually know that before copying and pasting the opening line from the NSW SEAL Ethos web page.
@@CJ-ty8sv I have 2 answers for that. 1st I've been hearing the "I was a Navy SEAL." sense before there was such a thing as a website. 2nd those that would falsely claim such a thing (which I feel is. Stolen Valor). Are often not very smart, and quite lazy.
I have zero respect for lies, nore stolen valor.
@@chuckbiker9400 Not sure why you went off on a rant about stolen Valor and false claims of people being SEAL's but if you think that ONLY SEAL's know what the acronym stands for that sadly you are deeply misinformed as there are countless numbers of people that know what it stands for that aren't, weren't and never have claimed to have been SEAL's.
The original commenter never claimed to be a SEAL but that doesn't mean that the person is or isn't for one. Two, I suspect that the commenter isn't because of the fact that most of the comment is a direct copy from a web page. A SEAL likely what have put it into his own words. Again though, this doesn't mean or imply that the commenter is or isn't claiming to be or have been a SEAL. It simply means that he copied the text and pasted it into his comment. The question I was merely asking was did he know what it stood for before that. If he did, then great. If he didn't, then great too because he learned something.
Again, nothing about this has anything to do with POS's that make false claims about supposed Military service.
To be honest with you, there are probably more civilians that know more facts about SEAL's than any other SOF's from any other branch, simply because of media and number movies based on true stories that involved SEAL's. Again, this doesn't mean that they claim to be SEAL's nor does it mean that is any one of them spouts facts that it should be assumed that they are or were a SEAL either.
@@CJ-ty8sv let me make it simple for you.
Not everyone that knows what SEAL stands for is or was a member. With that said. Anyone that was a SEAL team member. Absolutely knows what it stands for. Therefore Sherlock. It is a false claim.
This is one of the reasons why I respect military soldiers more than anybody else besides my loved ones.
The Seals had night vision glasses and their weapons had laser beams which could only be seen through night vision glasses. The captors had neither. So the seals could see them and aim at them and all they could see was the black of night. One of the keys to the successful mission.
Navy Seal Team Six are the best of the best in the world.
Don’t forget Delta
Navy Seals and Army Rangers are like the Grimm Reaper they will find you that’s a promise. But if them boys are coming you have had a bad day!
“I saw a look of pure terror on helpers face.” Me: 😈😈Its like he knew death had come for him.
Because, that is what we do. God bless.
It’s on the coast of major shipping lanes
When America has good leadership, we aren't to be messed with. I remember a quote from a military person (I forget exactly who it was, but it wasn't that long ago). Anyway, he said something like it didn't matter who it was, man, woman, or child, and it didn't matter for what cause they were fighting, but if they decided to fight America, I swear that someone else will be raising your children. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like that. When our country has had enough of dealing with these types of folks, it is game over. It honestly makes me a little ashamed right now, because there are still numerous American hostages being held by Hamas and they have been held since October 7th, 2023. I sincerely hope that some very good people are allowing them to stay hostages because it is for a huge tactical advantage, but I don't have any faith in our current leadership. The second these types of groups feel they can gain an advantage and we bow to their request, it does nothing but open the flood gates and invite more of the same actions, and the demands of these types of groups only get more extreme. We can't go down that road. I am 50 years old and have never served, but both of my grandfathers fought in WW2, with one of them being at Pearl Harbor. They are both dead now, but I remember something one of them told me a long time ago (around 1995) and we were talking while we were fishing, and he was telling some stories about his experiences in the service. He told me something I never have forgotten, and he said to never forget that freedom is never free and always comes at a price. He said that someone else was out paying the price right now so we could be out fishing, and talking, and have the opportunity to go home and eat and rest comfortably. He said that just because not all of us are soldiers, at any time, any citizen could be in a situation where they have to pay the ultimate price. He said that is what it means to live in a country with our type of freedom, and he said it is for that reason, the true patriots and soldiers of our country would never abandon their own, and would put themselves in harms way to do whatever it takes to keep their brothers safe and keep America free. I never have forgotten that. Many people here, especially my age, value and understand what a wonderful thing it is to live here, and we are very passionate when we have leaders that don't seem to value our military and just use it as a tool. I'm not a huge Obama fan, but in this instance and in the instance of Osama bin Laden, he did a fantastic job of making the correct decision and choosing to send in our special operators.
Thank you. The military personnel I knew were professionals. Would they go down with their bomber in a nuclear war? No. They will bring it back in case we need it again. A war does not end until the enemy has decided to stop fighting.
Happy 4th of July, from Houston.
She had a coworker there that was British. If your ever in harms way. You better have an American with you. Because you now become part of the recovery package.
*Danish. He said he was grateful to have been kidnapped with an American because his government couldn't/wouldn't have come for him.
They were giving her enough to stay alive, but not enough to be strong enough to run away. I've seen videos on here, where soldiers from other countries said that they always hoped, that if they're in trouble, they want an American with them.
Seals excel in water, land, everywhere. 😊
For 93 days she had all the time in the world to think of her family and realize they were going through this just like she was. The physical damage was all hers, but the emotional damage she knew they were all going through. She also knew that going to Somalia was dangerous, and wanted to apologize for her humanitarian work bringing trauma on her family.
Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.
Yeah. sadly true much of the time.
The reason the Somalians asked for so much is in such places firmly believe that all Americans are insanely wealthy, because to their standards they are. They think people have millions in their bank accounts, because they have so little the think people who can afford what we have must be millionaires.
America flaunts like it is
Seals stand for Sea, Air, and Land. They can hit from all.
This incredible stuff has been going on behind the scenes as long I can remember. I was in the Navy and had a HS friend in the ' who was a SEAL. He told me they were dropped or went ashore into rescue or kill missions where they flat out were in firefights in places you never heard of, places in africa and S america. There are missions like this going on now.
Thank our friends from the UK, though our country isn't perfect and we have many issues with our politicians and fringe extermists, but at the core of our Nation is to represent the United States as the epitome of Democracy no matter where in the world our country is needed. There's a reason the U.S. is ever present around the world.
Not only to serve & protect our citizens and assests in every corner of the world but also to serve & protect you as well when danger arises.
The U K. Has a great military as well and I'm proud that our countries share the same ideals.
True Americans and our military will always be there for you as well.
Though we may be from different countries, but you'll always be American's in our hearts as well.
Be safe, be pround... 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤✌️
"Pirating" has been a thing along the African coastline for centuries. Americas first conflict as a ntion was with the Barbary pirates in the early 1800s.
No matter how much you want to, you can never pay ransoms. They will just do it again and more will try.
Guys S.E.A.L stands for sea, air and land. Which means they go and work in any condition, at any place on earth.
She was doing what Princess Diana wanted to do. Save children from land mines.
Our Navy was originally founded to fight the Barbary pirates that's how our Marines got put into the Navy part of the Navy. All called foreshadowing
Thank you guys. Great reactions..!
this is the tax department best ad, NOT ALL THE MONEYS WASTED
SEAL is an acronym for SEa Air and Land. They do not strictly operate only in water.
She is a type of a Navy Seal herself!
Keep them Merican vids coming Y'all!!
U.S.A does not negotiate with terrorists
The US has deep and committed relationships with terrorist organizations and regimes all over the world. Just a few days ago ISIS-K carried out a terrorist attack in Russia. ISIS-K is deeply intertwined with US special ops.
Not until Biden
Nope with Obama and Biden we fund them.
I always hear that, so wonder what was going on for 3 months in this case.
@@jasonregister3494i hate democrats and disagree with most things about Obama, but he never held back on things like this. Gotta respect the good among the bad. I didn't vote for him but he never held back against terrorism.
I’m an American, and we do NOT pay ransom money… we kick ass!
Love Grandma Debbie
This one had me choked up a bit
We as Americans freedom stand on our men and women who gave the last full measure. We veterans and fellow Americans honor our heros. My heritage has the (French and Indian), seven years war. The Revolutionary war, civil war, to the beaches of Normandy, etc.
The reason is they used to be a big fishing export. With commercial fishing, it dwindled the work but they all still had boats. Because of this, some turned to pirating.
I follow her on Facebook and she is truly a very nice lady. From what I can see she tries to help others deal with trauma as well. Makes sense coming out of what she has been through to impart some love and hope to people knowing where they are at that moment because she has been there. She's one of those types that you want to see them thrive and she and her family have done so. It makes you smile when you see it knowing what she had been through.
You guys should watch the video of US Air Force Tech Sargeant John A. Chapman action in Afghanistan earned him the Medal of Honor. It was the first time in history that the actions of someone earning the Medal of Honor were recorded on video.
Dropping from the sky like they netero and zeno ! Lol
S.E.A.L stands for Navy sea, air and land. They are trained to fight anywhere
Navy Seals are trained to fight in the Air, on Land or in the Water. They can fight anywhere they need to. Seal Team 6 is the best of the best of the Seals.
America ain't paying shit. We all know if we kidnapped either they rescue us or were fucked. It would just be an incentive
SEALs is actually an acronyms for SE(a)A(ir) and L(and) and I’m not sure on this part but the lower case S may stand for specialist
It's because of their location...the boats are in a bottle neck very close to land
From what I heard her brother was so grateful and inspired for what they did for his sister he enlisted into the Department of Navy and chose the Buds program
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother [william Shakespeare]
Love to see this epic channel growing❤
Thank you two. I love the UK ! ❤
One reason the SEALs were used was the US Navy was off the coast of Somalia.
SEAL Team Six and Delta Force don't have air, ground, or sea domains. It's whoever is ready and capable of conducting the mission.
In general, SEAL Team Six does mostly direct action missions. But both Delta and SEAL Team 6 conduct all types of missions and Delta Force could have done this mission just as well as SEAL Team 6.. But that is a different story. In this case, SEAL Team 6 got the mission, I don't think it would have turned out any different if Delta Force had gotten the mission. The Tier One forces in the US are among the best in the world.
This may have been answered else where, the name SEAL stands for SE- sea, A-air, L-land. They are trained to operate in all environments.
the bandits also probably didnt see the seals probably just the faint green lights for their NVGs
7:38 - America doesn't negotiate with terrorists..
..or at least, that's supposed to be the rule. But, I don't believe our leaders and government can stick to principles, especially nowadays.
There is another video that tells this story from the SEAL’s perspective. It is worth the watch.
The guy she was with said he was thankful it was an American he was with. He did not think his country would have come for him.
The other video doesn't say that, it's this one that does.

The Navy SEAL leader who led the rescue of Jessica Buchanan has since retired and he wrote a very interesting book where he tells the story of this rescue from his perspective. Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys reading. The book is "MOB VI: A Seal Team Six Operator's Battles in the Fight for Good over Evil" by Justin Sheffield
@@Unit285 I have read it. It’s not a bad book.
Its true America spemt close to double on her rescue but hostage situations for ransom have a high probability that after the check clears the hostage is killed so a rescue by force is usually the best option with good intel and planning
Great reaction, devgru also rescues British and many of our allies. If you are kidnapped. Most likely Americans will assist in some way. Whether intelligence or boots on the ground as well.
Wild story.
