Also you want your military to be as strong as they can be a starving army is not in good shape. The healthier you are the longer you can hold out in harsh conditions.
In North Korea, yes. As I see, most of the US soldiers in that video are there because they want to, not because they would be killed of they weren't. So yeah, quite the big difference
There are several countries with mandatory military service. In North Korea it's mandatory but there are no human rights so you HAVE to take it seriously. They did have to take it seriously or they'd kill them. They'd beat them a lot and they barely ate.
@@Romy--- vary unfortunate for the citizens that the leaders just see them as tools to get what they want instead of bettering the land so that the citizens can live peacefully or at least a better quality of life is instead of just hoarding it for themselves and expecting them to throw their lives away carelessly. I am having a hard time wording it. It seems like common sense to take care of your military personnel if you want a strong military.
The thing that distinguishes US Navy SEALS is NOT their physical condition. Many that drop out of SEAL Training are in as good or better shape. And SEALs are in great physical shape. The thing that sets them apart and what the trainers look for is the will to see the job done no matter the cost to themselves. The difference is all upstairs. That is what sets them apart from the rest.
The ability to endure grueling pain but never give up. To push even harder when you want to quit. To accomplish the mission and win. no matter how cold how hungry and how tired you are.
I listened to an interview with a navy SEAL where he said everyone who he talked to in his platoon who passed reached a sort of transcendent state, where they were asleep, but still running, still holding the boats over their heads etc. The training is made to break you physically, and it will, the only thing that matters is your mental strength to carry on.
proper food isnt a right... you have to work for it just the same. If you're homeless, you can get slop to eat for free; otherwise food stamps and government handouts are applied for.
I understand where theyre getting at though, these nk soldiers work their ass off for years on end yet barely has any money or food to sustain themselves
I would imagine 'hell week' for North Koreans is more like 'hell decade' where you don't eat well enough or are treated well enough to actually do the work assigned to you.
Probably, but it still is extremely tough to survive hell week in the Seals. 4 hours of sleep in a week, being pushed to your physical and mental limits. I don't think there's anything more intense.
Looking back, I wonder why the Army never had a hell week thing. My husband is Air Force, and even he doesn't think his hell week was anything at all. Navy and Marines also have a hell week... So, I wonder why the Army doesn't have a specific one, and our final culmination was rough but soooo fun. But hey, I love war games. My Drill SGT was a prior Marine, so I just assumed he made the whole thing a hell week, lol. He woke us up in the field firing a .50 and yelling "wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!" Before laughing maniacally and tearing through our tents. Gave me the warm fuzziness, even though no one else seemed to like it. However, a lot of people don't discuss injuries and deaths in any service's training. Happens a lot more than I figured. I guess I just like pain! =D
Let them watch the USMC Crucible. Let them watch the eyes of the marine when the get that anchor, globe and eagle. Never given. Always earned. Semper fi!
@@ronanchristiana.belleza9270 Navy Seals go through various trainings based in super cold and icy water. They to this to the point of shivering, and sometimes just sit in freezing water temperatures.
If I'm not mistaken that is just the selection process and only a few soldiers of each class make it to the seals. Where the real training begins which there are not videos for.
The selection is the physical and mental hard part of these things, the "training" parts are things like what they need to know to act as the Medical specialist, signal specialist, etc. as well as all the other things each individual gets training on, but the selection is the part where they try to break them to see where their weaknesses lie then they build proficiency.
As many former Seals say, BUDs is 90% mental 10% physical. ofc you need to be strong but it's all meant to weed out the mentally weak and quitters. That's why they allow you to just get up and ring a bell and you get sent to an office with a warm cup of joe and a doughnut and you're out.
@@averellchen Same thing with SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) training. There's a lot of physical stuff (they ARE trying to find your breaking point, and everyone has one), but if you can keep your mind compartmentalized, you come out all right. A lot didn't, and they were quietly shifted to less sensitive careers like Admin or Supply.
They are all conscripts anyway, similar to our draft. They don’t have a choice, but conscripts don’t always make for good soldiers. That’s why we stopped doing it, you get Vietnam, the two flaws in that war that made us quit one was lack of skill and will, the other was bureaucracy. The next war Desert Storm was a Turkey shoot and what’s remarkable is except the Vietnamese had a much better air force the equivalent of them and the Iraqis at the start of the war wasn’t much different. It proves when politicians stay out of the way and let stormin Norman do his job and we have a volunteer army good things come.
Randen Richards you act like we don’t have a mandatory draft lottery. Which is what was utilized for Vietnam. That system is still in place and every man still has to register, eligible or not
@@PrettyPinkPersephone i think the Government would know if i registered or not and wouldve gotten the fine already or arrested. also from what i read you can also be automatically registered if you get your State ID
You say that but Vietnam, China and Japan all proved that they could beat back there aggressors with limited diets of at times only rice. NK has it worse than them but to go through 10 years of only really eating rice for the most part has to teach the body something other soldiers don't have.
@@brandonr2188 Look, one thing armies will acknowledge that you might not is that you should always know your enemies strength. If US was deep in the middle of nowhere with no food or extreme lows on supply, same as NK. There's a good chance the ones that will come out top are NK. US had to acknowledged this during the Vietnam war.
Brandon R Campbellenious is making a good point. A simple stomach growl is loud enough to giveaway your position. Bet stomachs used to getting no response to their growls just stop even trying. All that brawn requires more calories and water as well. Hunger denied gets painful. Not experienced it myself but have heard about it. A body used to getting by on less has adapted. The other thing you are not aware of is that the women are soldiers for 7 years as well. Training so hard and nutrition so bad that they usually stop having menses. The more elite serve in higher positions for 7 and 5 years respectively. So, our guys will have to see all women as professional soldiers as well. Even if they don’t have a gun. Don’t saber rattle. Why did we lose in Vietnam despite more and better weapons? Johnson and the brass underestimated the will and tenacity of the opponents. Kind of like the British did with the colonists that were determined to be free. If you go back into our history and look at the losses, not just the wins, you will get a better idea of reality. No matter how well trained and supplied you can lose because of decisions of the leaders. I hate war, but you don’t half ass it when you decide to send in the troops. Which is what we have mostly been doing. That would be the fault of past Presidents AND Congresses.
@Johnston Steiner Are you.. LOL Marines don't guard the potus, that's Secret service, they aren't seals either, seals are from the navy they just pick that mos, and see if they can pass, if they even meet the requirements.
@David Sherbert You understand what he said correct? He said most marines are seals, actually, no seal is a marine, some could be former/ex marines, but not active duty if they are currently a seal. And they do guard potus, but rarely at the white house.
I mean their training probably is the most inhumane of the century, plus not being fed well and everything. It's NK after all even non-military, the ordinary folks gets fucked on a daily.
Remember that even as hard as it is, they are fed well, and personal dignity respected even when it seems like "Hell". Even those who "fail" come out of it in better physical condition and with more respect than most. They don't do this because they HAVE to, they do it because they WANT to.
Americans respect the ordinary soldiers and citizens. We may loath the ruling system and be willing to fight and win but we still respect the soldier. I'm a Viet-Nam veteran so I have a little first hand experience. Please receive my thanks for your service and gratitude that my kids will not have to go to war against you two.
Pretty sure that’s a myth. You might drown, during training. But you’re not supposed to. People could legitimately die to no fault of their own. You’d be literally killing good soldier because random chance.
@@bigmanbarry2299 the seals do force their recruits to black out under water so they can learn to not panic if their oxygen tanks malfunction at the bottom of the ocean. They obviously get them out of the pool before they get brain damage.
The US Navy SEALs are generally considered the most elite of the various special forces units. SEALs are trained for sea, paratroop, and land combat. The full SEAL training, before being eligible for active deployment, takes more than two years. It is the most rigorous and comprehensive special forces training in the US armed forces. Attrition rate is usually about 80%. That is, of the recruits who are accepted for SEAL training about 80% are unable to make it through the first year's intensive training.
If I remember correctly Hell Week has the highest attrition rate of any single aspect of the training. I thought it was something like 2/3 fail at that point. It has been too long since I read up on SEAL training.
US Navy Seals are “not” the most elite. They are Tier 1 operators. Same as Army Delta force, Special Forces. Air Force Pararescuemen, Combat Controllers, Special Reconnaissance, and Tactical Air Control Party. Marines have no Units listed as “Tier 1”. The dropout rates of Tier 1 units it’s a tie for the highest. Delta force and Pararescue jumper are both 90% attrition. While the Navy Seals are 75-80%.
@@AmericanBoomBoomStick go educate yourself fanboy. The 24th STS is the Air Force‘s contribution to the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). A tier 1 unit, the 24th STS is comprised of Pararescuemen (PJ), Combat Controllers (CCT), Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Airmen, and Special Reconnaissance (SR) - previously known as Special Operations Weather Technicians (SOWT) - operators. They either deploy in cohesive teams or as individual attachments to other Special Mission Units (SMU), such as Delta Force or SEAL Team 6.
@@khure711 I’m VERY aware lol. PJs are tier 3. Their job is to save lives. Now, there might be PJs who are on tier 1 teams with other operators but as a whole they’re tier 3. I have a bit of experience with Air Force stuff 😂. Were you in the Air Force?
Keep in mind that authoritarian governments don't value individual soldiers, only their numbers. They are all expendable. Look at the Japanese banzai, Chosin Reservoir, Stalingrad (both sides).
I have a lot of respect for these men. Went thru hell in North Korea and then defected. They still get on here knowing they are targets, to let us know how good we really have it. Food, clothing, medicine, and freedom. Thank you both.

I sure like to hear and see their reaction and comments to what some of our military heroes actually went through to receive the Medal of Honor, like Master Sergeant Raul Perez Roy Benavidez of Texas, in Vietnam.
that man had a hell of a story before he got the medal. got blown up by a mine, and unparalyzed himself by crawling from his bed inch by inch by just his toes and fingers then pulled himself to standing by using his chin on the wall

Btw my family has been living on Texas since 1835 and fought in the Alamo. Hispanics are also Americans. Go back to school, you're embarrassing our school system. Btw my cousin is actually currently in the military and joined right after high school.

I did something similar for 2 weeks straight, roughly 40-50 miles of running a day, swimming without my hands for hours, but I have to say the hardest part were "making sand angels". We would have to run in and out of the wave break, then back onto the beach, and the instructor would say "drop and make it rain", and we had to lay down and throw sand on each other. Then we would make snow angels in the sand, like jumping jack status. The sand would get into everywhere you didn't want it. My thighs used to rub together from running since I was so fit and it rashed them til they bled. Good times!
Let them react to other special forces in the world too, not just the American forces so that they learn more about what is actually going on around the world and how millitary of different countries are different from each other. Love from india
Well the thing is Americans really love to hear good things about ourselves and we will always watch stuff like this just to hear it. The channel operators know this and are capitalizing on it because it is really cheap and easy marketing which is why they always do videos containing Americans.
North Korea doesn't hate other countries (besides Japan and South Korea) like they hate the US. They tell their men in the military that US soldiers are weak and NK will whoop their butts. I think the goal is to show ex NK soldiers that what they learned is wrong. Dont quote me on this. This is just a feeling.
Well, they’re being shown the best special forces in the world which is American special forces. Why would they want to see second rate special forces from other countries?
It's very cool that you had a video about SEAL training. For the record, the distinction between SEALs and Marines is important. I worked hard to become a Marine, and I want to be called a Marine (not a SEAL). Also, I have a lot of respect for SEALs. SEALs are special forces in the Navy. Their training is different, more extensive, and sometimes more difficult than Marine training. But Marines are just as tough in a fight.
@Kelly Cookson Not looking to start a fight, and not taking anything away from you as a Marine, but Line USMC units are not in the same league as SEALS. You’re comparing a large, conventional force to a small, elite Special Operations Force. There is no comparison. Again, respect to the Corps, but Marines ain’t SEALS. Sorry. Force Recon? Okay. They’re in the same league. But not the Corps at large. Not even close. (Army Airborne/Ranger here, and I’ve worked/trained with all of ‘em.). I’ll give you this: as far as a large, conventional force, the Marine Corps is the best. But Spec Ops, they’re not.
@@MountainManMike Never did, but I’ve had two patients who were Anglicos! I was more on the fire direction end than the fire support end. We all trained in both, of course, but my assignment was fire direction officer, and later PL for an M198 platoon in XVIII Airborne Corps Arty (Nuke-capable, air-droppable, towed 155mm) Same weapon system as our USMC counterparts. The Marines and Army Airborne units are all towed. Heavy, mechanized Army units use the self-propelled 155s M109A3.
Goes all the back to ancient Chinese military thought such as Sun Tze and the art of war, though the words are slightly different the meaning is the same!
I have read some historical books and it was a tactic to starve their forces to make them harsher when invading enemies. The lords wanted to take over the areas so their forces were not paid properly & starved and kept away from the comforts of uh ladies. so when it came time invade they would be extra harsh kill resisting citizens take their food and um assault the woman. they basically took whatever they wanted.The soldiers knew the lord wouldn’t punish them so they basically destroyed whoever they came across. the lord / their boss would rebuild and the scared citizens would just fallow him for fear of being made a slave. While a lot of the those things aren’t allowed anymore the tactics of not providing proper food or payment seems to still be happening. It’s not a very smart tactic for today’s warfare.
Also, they only get 4 hours or less of sleep total in all five days of hell week, not every night. In hell week they don’t sleep at all for 5 days besides those 4 hours total or less
@@543soldier It's a mandated minimum in the US military that you get 4 hours a sleep (obviously unless operations prohibit it due to enemy action). However, that number does not count fireguard, so I don't know if someone had to do fireguard, but they probably did since it's a TRADOC thing (although I think TRADOC is Army), meaning about 3 hours a night of sleep.
@Xelbayria You can survive for 11 days without sleep, but you would start to hallucinate LONG before that, and I can't really see someone hallucinating from lack of sleep being a very effective soldier.
@Ryan A's Here’s the deal: When you’re “Admin”, sleeping in barracks, like Hell Week, you pretty much get the four hours a night. Which is minimal when you’re working that hard. But when you’re tactical, you get what you get, and you like it. In Ranger School, we might not sleep for three days on an operation. Over the course, you average about four hours a night, but it’s not predictable. Sleep deprivation is a huge part of this type of training, along with food deprivation. When I went through, we got one MRE a day. That’s maybe 1/3 of the calories you’re burning. I run about 180# normally. I lost 40# in RangerSchool. Everyone looks like skeleton. In later years, they realized that we were literally autodigesting, and so now, Ranger students get TWO MREs a day. Pansies. (just kidding). But they do get two a day now. I don’t know if SEAL training includes starvation, somebody can jump in who knows. But the training is made exponentially harder by depriving students of two of their most basic survival needs: food and sleep. Hallucinations are ever-present for yourself, and your buddies. I’ve seen guys risk their entire careers, their Ranger tab, everything for an extra bite or two of food. When you’re hungry enough, you will eat just about anything. Leaves, garbage, insects, raw snakes - you name it. That kind of ‘basic needs’ stress in training simulates the ‘imminent death’ stress of combat. And it is very effective.
@Xelbayria You're completely incorrect. I have no idea where you got that information but it's bogus. Hallucinations start specofically and strictly because of a lack of sleep in cases of sleep deprivation. No external illness required.
@@Epic-pf8od whether or not that's a reference, becoming "French by spilled blood" is actually a thing in the French Foreign Legion. That is, for those who aren't already citizens (French citizens can also enlist these days, if they're feeling very masochistic or especially eager to serve).
I would definitely recommend them watching "Surviving the Cut". It was a Discover Channel series that put out about 6 episodes outlining the special forces training for each branch and the difficult stages of making it to the end and completing it successfully.
I always find your reactions very interesting, and illuminating how much different nations soldiers can usually relate on a fundamental level with the struggles and experiences across national or language barriers. As a change of pace, reacting to some historical real world events would be great to see. One I'd recommend is Simple History Desmond Doss video, as it would bring up an interesting example of a medal of honor award to someone who never fired a shot. Thanks for your videos!
All respect given to any man that goes through any type of military training, anywhere, but they do make a valid point about not being paid and the food.
As an American I think it’s kinda funny that they keep saying the training is too harsh, and yes it is VERY HARSH, but these are THE Navy Seals. They are the most intense and hardcore people in our country and the training they receive is so harsh because those are the situations they are constantly being put in. 4 hours of sleep can be a luxury during some deployments these men go on to experience the most unimaginable horrors. Thanks for your service❤️🇺🇸
I’d like to commend you both! Your journey to freedom is inspirational and I hope it leads to more of your countrymen to follow suit.

The reason the BUDS class has jacked sailors, over skinny weak Marine recruits is one SEAL TEAM is for Special Operations. Pre BUDs they must workout super hard and train up before selection even occurs. The Core is taking almost anyone off the streets, then turning them into jacked hammers!.
Correct. Most people don't know what SEAL stands for. Or the mental acuity it takes to be able to think through all their options and make the best decisions. The strength and brawn is necessary but the intellect and dedication to service and country even more so.

In boot camp i came in 6 lbs overweight. Which i lost in the first week... i was still put on half rations for the remaining 12 weeks. I was eating about 1000 calories a day. Ended up losing 30lbs in boot camp. I was definitely not well fed.
I once stayed overnight in a motel on the coast and early in the morning I saw some Navy SEALs practicing running into the surf like in that video. I didn't know who they were or what they were doing but they were all really buff and in uniform so I figured they must be Navy SEALs. Who else would run into the surf like that?
Oh my gosh my cousin got tear gassed like 13 times in one session they had to keep doing it until they all passed they finally stopped after the guy who kept failing passed out and they couldn’t wake him. I had never been so glad to have not signed up in my life ...never mind I would have been turned away because of being physically unable in the first place.
Bless our SEALS the best... Yes the difference is upstairs meaning the body, heart, soul and their minds. We are pround of our elite NAVY SEALS, they are the best. We alwasy see then when I passed by Silver Strand in Coronado...and seen their execises at Coronado Beach going to NASNI. God bless them all who served and still serving
Navy SEALs are not “Army.” They’re NAVY. American military branches are distinct, but sometimes have “joint operations” and even bases (as a budgetary cost savings). Distinct services are Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. We’re now forming a “Space Force,” as well, but it’s currently a command sub-branch of the USAF... much like the Army Air Corps was before the Air Force became a separate entity... FYI I served 25-yrs on active duty and would do it all again - only better! There was a time when our forces had difficulty in exercising joint operations, but that was an issue with Command-level coordination. We’ve since resolved a “unity of Command” issue and one of empowering ground ops at a lower level to improve execution of battle plans. Bottom line: our military continues to grow, advance, and improve. We have to fight against the impulses to create a PC correct fighting force... something that currently creates problems and degrades effectiveness.
My great uncle fought in Korea. He said they were a tough people. My best friend is a veteran from the 101st, bastard division. He ( his group) was shown film and given special instructions about the north koreans. His respect for them is immense. The north koreans hardness served as the impetus to drive the men. My take is that the North Koreans are a tough group of guys with top 3 IQ in the world... Never forget the IQ. Also, the south korean that fought with the US during the Vietnam war proved to be the scariest jungle fighters. Look it up. The koreans are not too be taken lightly. 175,000 Marines would die in North Korea if sent in alone. They just would..

I'm not an American
But the things you say
i do not see any Video of them doing this
But, are they classified?
If I'm not mistaken that is just the selection process and only a few soldiers of each class make it to the seals. Where the real training begins which there are not videos for.
The selection is the physical and mental hard part of these things, the "training" parts are things like what they need to know to act as the Medical specialist, signal specialist, etc. as well as all the other things each individual gets training on, but the selection is the part where they try to break them to see where their weaknesses lie then they build proficiency.
As many former Seals say, BUDs is 90% mental 10% physical. ofc you need to be strong but it's all meant to weed out the mentally weak and quitters. That's why they allow you to just get up and ring a bell and you get sent to an office with a warm cup of joe and a doughnut and you're out.
Uh...those would be Sailors (possibly Marines), not soldiers.
@@averellchen Same thing with SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) training. There's a lot of physical stuff (they ARE trying to find your breaking point, and everyone has one), but if you can keep your mind compartmentalized, you come out all right.

@@ex-navyspook Agreed, I forgot about SERE
Yea the "they don't even pay you" part would make a lot of soldiers turn away
They are all conscripts anyway, similar to our draft. They don’t have a choice, but conscripts don’t always make for good soldiers. That’s why we stopped doing it, you get Vietnam, the two flaws in that war that made us quit one was lack of skill and will, the other was bureaucracy. The next war Desert Storm was a Turkey shoot and what’s remarkable is except the Vietnamese had a much better air force the equivalent of them and the Iraqis at the start of the war wasn’t much different. It proves when politicians stay out of the way and let stormin Norman do his job and we have a volunteer army good things come.

This is why the NK army would never do well. Their entire army would starve to death in a few weeks.
You say that but Vietnam, China and Japan all proved that they could beat back there aggressors with limited diets of at times only rice. NK has it worse than them but to go through 10 years of only really eating rice for the most part has to teach the body something other soldiers don't have.
campbellenious korsakoff the thing is other armys dont have to starve their soldiers.
@@brandonr2188 Look, one thing armies will acknowledge that you might not is that you should always know your enemies strength.
If US was deep in the middle of nowhere with no food or extreme lows on supply, same as NK. There's a good chance the ones that will come out top are NK.
US had to acknowledged this during the Vietnam war.
Brandon R Campbellenious is making a good point. A simple stomach growl is loud enough to giveaway your position. Bet stomachs used to getting no response to their growls just stop even trying. All that brawn requires more calories and water as well. Hunger denied gets painful. Not experienced it myself but have heard about it. A body used to getting by on less has adapted. The other thing you are not aware of is that the women are soldiers for 7 years as well. Training so hard and nutrition so bad that they usually stop having menses. The more elite serve in higher positions for 7 and 5 years respectively. So, our guys will have to see all women as professional soldiers as well. Even if they don’t have a gun. Don’t saber rattle. Why did we lose in Vietnam despite more and better weapons? Johnson and the brass underestimated the will and tenacity of the opponents. Kind of like the British did with the colonists that were determined to be free. If you go back into our history and look at the losses, not just the wins, you will get a better idea of reality. No matter how well trained and supplied you can lose because of decisions of the leaders. I hate war, but you don’t half ass it when you decide to send in the troops. Which is what we have mostly been doing. That would be the fault of past Presidents AND Congresses.
I like how we explained this without insulting each other

These gentlemen are actually so humble. You know their training is tough as well but they’re still impressed by these videos.
I mean their training probably is the most inhumane of the century, plus not being fed well and everything. It's NK after all even non-military, the ordinary folks gets fucked on a daily.
Remember that even as hard as it is, they are fed well, and personal dignity respected even when it seems like "Hell". Even those who "fail" come out of it in better physical condition and with more respect than most. They don't do this because they HAVE to, they do it because they WANT to.
We Americans love the North Korean people and has so much respect for them living in that hellhole. Peace to NK

The US Navy SEALs are generally considered the most elite of the various special forces units. SEALs are trained for sea, paratroop, and land combat. The full SEAL training, before being eligible for active deployment, takes more than two years. It is the most rigorous and comprehensive special forces training in the US armed forces. Attrition rate is usually about 80%. That is, of the recruits who are accepted for SEAL training about 80% are unable to make it through the first year's intensive training.
If I remember correctly Hell Week has the highest attrition rate of any single aspect of the training. I thought it was something like 2/3 fail at that point. It has been too long since I read up on SEAL training.
US Navy Seals are “not” the most elite. They are Tier 1 operators. Same as Army Delta force, Special Forces. Air Force Pararescuemen, Combat Controllers, Special Reconnaissance, and Tactical Air Control Party. Marines have no Units listed as “Tier 1”.

Then we would make snow angels in the sand, like jumping jack status. The sand would get into everywhere you didn't want it.

It's very cool that you had a video about SEAL training. For the record, the distinction between SEALs and Marines is important. I worked hard to become a Marine, and I want to be called a Marine (not a SEAL). Also, I have a lot of respect for SEALs. SEALs are special forces in the Navy. Their training is different, more extensive, and sometimes more difficult than Marine training. But Marines are just as tough in a fight.
@Kelly Cookson Not looking to start a fight, and not taking anything away from you as a Marine, but Line USMC units are not in the same league as SEALS. You’re comparing a large, conventional force to a small, elite Special Operations Force. There is no comparison. Again, respect to the Corps, but Marines ain’t SEALS. Sorry. Force Recon? Okay. They’re in the same league. But not the Corps at large. Not even close. (Army Airborne/Ranger here, and I’ve worked/trained with all of ‘em.). I’ll give you this: as far as a large, conventional force, the Marine Corps is the best. But Spec Ops, they’re not.

Oof, I feel bad for those guys. Also, I’m even less intimidated by NK than I was before.
I have read some historical books and it was a tactic to starve their forces to make them harsher when invading enemies. The lords wanted to take over the areas so their forces were not paid properly & starved and kept away from the comforts of uh ladies. so when it came time invade they would be extra harsh kill resisting citizens take their food and um assault the woman. they basically took whatever they wanted.The soldiers knew the lord wouldn’t punish them so they basically destroyed whoever they came across. the lord / their boss would rebuild and the scared citizens would just fallow him for fear of being made a slave.
While a lot of the those things aren’t allowed anymore the tactics of not providing proper food or payment seems to still be happening. It’s not a very smart tactic for today’s warfare.

Also, they only get 4 hours or less of sleep total in all five days of hell week, not every night. In hell week they don’t sleep at all for 5 days besides those 4 hours total or less
That's not true, Jocko Willink literally said they get 4 hours of sleep every night during hell week.
@@543soldier It's a mandated minimum in the US military that you get 4 hours a sleep (obviously unless operations prohibit it due to enemy action).
However, that number does not count fireguard, so I don't know if someone had to do fireguard, but they probably did since it's a TRADOC thing (although I think TRADOC is Army), meaning about 3 hours a night of sleep.
@Xelbayria You can survive for 11 days without sleep, but you would start to hallucinate LONG before that, and I can't really see someone hallucinating from lack of sleep being a very effective soldier.
@Ryan A's Here’s the deal: When you’re “Admin”, sleeping in barracks, like Hell Week, you pretty much get the four hours a night. Which is minimal when you’re working that hard. But when you’re tactical, you get what you get, and you like it. In Ranger School, we might not sleep for three days on an operation. Over the course, you average about four hours a night, but it’s not predictable. Sleep deprivation is a huge part of this type of training, along with food deprivation. When I went through, we got one MRE a day. That’s maybe 1/3 of the calories you’re burning. I run about 180# normally. I lost 40# in RangerSchool. Everyone looks like skeleton. In later years, they realized that we were literally autodigesting, and so now, Ranger students get TWO MREs a day. Pansies. (just kidding). But they do get two a day now. I don’t know if SEAL training includes starvation, somebody can jump in who knows. But the training is made exponentially harder by depriving students of two of their most basic survival needs: food and sleep. Hallucinations are ever-present for yourself, and your buddies. I’ve seen guys risk their entire careers, their Ranger tab, everything for an extra bite or two of food. When you’re hungry enough, you will eat just about anything. Leaves, garbage, insects, raw snakes - you name it. That kind of ‘basic needs’ stress in training simulates the ‘imminent death’ stress of combat. And it is very effective.
@Xelbayria You're completely incorrect. I have no idea where you got that information but it's bogus. Hallucinations start specofically and strictly because of a lack of sleep in cases of sleep deprivation. No external illness required.

I could watch these guys forever.
Bless our SEALS the best... Yes the difference is upstairs meaning the body, heart, soul and their minds. We are pround of our elite NAVY SEALS, they are the best. We alwasy see then when I passed by Silver Strand in Coronado...and seen their execises at Coronado Beach going to NASNI. God bless them all who served and still serving
That is Navy SEAL training, and they are the toughest men in America, if not the world
In america
Navy SEALs are not “Army.” They’re NAVY. American military branches are distinct, but sometimes have “joint operations” and even bases (as a budgetary cost savings).
Distinct services are Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. We’re now forming a “Space Force,” as well, but it’s currently a command sub-branch of the USAF... much like the Army Air Corps was before the Air Force became a separate entity... FYI
I served 25-yrs on active duty and would do it all again - only better!
There was a time when our forces had difficulty in exercising joint operations, but that was an issue with Command-level coordination. We’ve since resolved a “unity of Command” issue and one of empowering ground ops at a lower level to improve execution of battle plans. Bottom line: our military continues to grow, advance, and improve. We have to fight against the impulses to create a PC correct fighting force... something that currently creates problems and degrades effectiveness.
Don't they use live ammo during SEALS training or did I just make that up in my mind?
Next, have them react to K-drama, Crash Landing On You. 😂
They should react to marine corps intensive training
It makes me happy to see you both enjoying freedom from tyranny and ample nutrition.
“He could get a bruise” lol 😂.... good god.
I heard that and I questioned whether or not he'd actually served...
During buds they drown you ( in a controlled setting) in order to help people lose the fear of drowning.
US: We got Hell Week.
NK: Bitch please, we live in hell everyday.
I appreciate your perspectives. Thanks for sharing!
this training is equivalent to the inner battle i have in my head whenever I have to get out of bed.
Our marines ALONE can beat the whole north Korean military.
My great uncle fought in Korea.
He said they were a tough people.
My best friend is a veteran from the 101st, bastard division.
He ( his group) was shown film and given special instructions about the north koreans. His respect for them is immense. The north koreans hardness served as the impetus to drive the men.
My take is that the North Koreans are a tough group of guys with top 3 IQ in the world...
Never forget the IQ.
Also, the south korean that fought with the US during the Vietnam war proved to be the scariest jungle fighters. Look it up.
The koreans are not too be taken lightly.
175,000 Marines would die in North Korea if sent in alone. They just would..
Dude ,you do know the Marines fought in Korea during that war. Right ?
Y'all dum as hell that was when north korea was doing good and could feed there people but now most of there country are malnourished and are really really skinny and there tech is the same and is not in battle fighting conditions or broken (not like it was new when they bought it from the ussr and china) don't matter how much soldiers you have you can't win a war with starving malnourished skeleton soldiers we would destroy them rn
Also the fact that the average north korean is three times smaller than an average american no cap
It would take more than a lone marine.
Your buddy looking over at you and saying "There are both good looking and ugly guys in those movies" was savage. Goes to show you guys are the same everywhere.
Korean guys, you think this is tough, check out how the British SAS train!
Just want to say I’m a fan of the guy on the right’s ongoing quest to prove he can pull off every cool hairstyle of the past 60 years 😂
I'd love to see these guys reacting to Australian special forces (SAS)
