As someone whom lost their close loved one aka (my father). I have to say once you've handled the grief, which is entirely different for each person, make sure you stand tall for your brother. Make your life's dreams and aspirations, will include your brothers. Try to fulfill his dreams. You'll be surprised at what happens during your quest.

@@hjr2000 NYPD recently moved quickly to fill a bunch of tunnels under the Chabad Lubavitch headquarters in Brooklyn with concrete. These things went DEEP… video of them is unnerving because there were blood/shit/piss stained mattresses being pulled from the tunnel entrance as well as kids toys. Some real Jeffrey didn’t-hang-himself kinda shyte.
The more I see of combat footage, and the older I get, the more I see misery and death. Heroic deeds, courage, bravery, self-sacrifice, teamwork and mateship in adversity yes, but also sadness, death, and destruction. I understand why we will always need and have armed combat, but where once I would see an aeroplane shot down, and think "another plane gone", I now think about the person or people in it. Of course, I am sure my perspectives would change again if I was in a position where I had to fight for my country or my beliefs - and this I would do, when, and if the need arises.
This type of info was always available online. You just had to look for it. The problem today is the big social media companies wanting to censor everything because either the Biden administration is telling them to or they fall for all the threats from a very small population of the country that can't really even carry out those threats but they are just louder with their voices. I have no idea why people wanna live under a brick and pretend like stuff isn't happening around them or why they want to live with the government telling them what they can and can't watch and controlling what they say and can't say.

One time out in the desert on BLM land me and my two friends were wearing our full kit (and i mean FULL kit., helmets, full combat load of mags, gloves, plate carriers, I even had my colt m16 bayonet on my belt) and while we were shooting some dirtbikers road by staring. Another time at the same spot my buddy was taking pot shots with his Beretta m9 9mm at a rusted car from a comical distance, he sent a few rounds wizzing toward the car and out of nowhere some random dude steps out from behind the car holding a tiny Pomeranian dog. The car was sitting on flat ground about 200 feet away and the guy just happened to be behind the only object out there, which was the car. Scared us to death

FYI Egoz is a legit special forces unit specializing in anti guerrilla tactics, their training is really hardcore and they usually carry very heavy weights they are a truly top tier unit with extremely hard training. The name translates in English to walnut cos they are hard to crack 😊
Killdozer isn't the only up-armored bulldozer the US has made. There's also the ones that the Red Adair company uses to help move earth around and use the blade itself as a literal heat shield when putting out oil well fires, which was very useful in the aftermath of the Gulf War.
That simulation of them clearing the building was terrifying. You can see the utter confidence and workmanlike precision in which they did it. You can tell these fellows have dropped bad guys before and its not just practice for them. I was infantry a generation ago, but for me it was just training. IDF rightly deserves the title of best in the world. Stay safe guys, God be with you.
Idk it’s a bit more complicated over there. If it’s just Hamas then yeah those are bad guys but it gets complicated when it’s civilians fighting as organized resistance. Not calling these two guys evil though, just saying there’s more to it.
we also have guys who were Capos in La Cosa Nostra, the Italian Mafia, one of which has admitted in open court to killing 16 men, and they both have youtube channels now lol
I’ll break it down for you. Since time immemorial, two businesses have traditionally been recession-proof: certain aspects of show business and war. People have been writing books, making vhs training videos, publishing magazines, painting on cave walls; it's simple. It's a business.
Nothing wrong with Chabadniks. They've dropped a lot of truth into my lap in my studies of the Bible. Judaism is, no doubt, an "alien" religion to most non-Jews, but Jews have been Jews for a long time. Expecting them to be non-Jews is unrealistic. They barely touch firearms because they don't want to spill anyone's blood.
I have a DJI Mini 4 pro. It’s the newest one and it’s awesome. This was my 1st drone and the stuff this can do is crazy. Im able to operate it 3 miles away. It has a 4k camera which you view live or you get the goggles. If you like drones check out Ken heron. He is funny has hell it’s not what you expect from a drone channel.
Yeah fr. I thought about getting one a few years back and was like "meh it's prob a waste of money, what are you gonna do sit in a firefight and fly a drone around like in Frontline: Fuel of War".....ugh....yeah basically lol (which btw it's scary how the modern world is turning out like that video game from 2006)
I am waiting for EMP weapons to become more common place. Will be interesting to see the technology race of drones and drone counters. @@daconqueror101
I understand what you mean. But depending on where you life that‘s pretty normal. As a central European (CH) I can do that with several languages within the same phrase. Sounds dang awesome, even the more if you don‘t understand one part.
@@marcschreitmuller997 luckily I understand both parts, the hebrew in tactical speech is full of phrases and slang that you can't really translate properly. If an IDF soldier wants to talk about clearing a corner, he will talk about "opening a zig" (as in the first part of a zigzag).
I guess you haven't found the Shawn Ryan Show yet...some of his interviews are edge of the seat conversations. Sorry in advance, or maybe you're welcome. I dunno. He has some great combat Veteran interviews, high speed guys.

I love this new series. The concept of civilian readiness is huge. People need to get prepaired, form and build communities, and get training in the skill they will need.
@@Chungus_E_MungusWith how casually they're saying "congrats on your first warcrime" at 54:03, it's a very good guide on how these "solders" are going to breach someone's house and kill them even if they're unarmed. At 56:52, their SOP is to just "shoot everything even if it doesn't move".

@@LabiaLickerwho told you that? There are taliban soldiers engaging in Bacha Bazi but it's just swept under the rug because it's seen as "normal" in their culture. Sad but true.
Honestly to me, the weapon setups are super helpful. Not just because they are cool or whatever but it helps me save time in experience by hearing why they did certain things and why they added certain things to their setups. It helps me to spend money on quality gear and understand what I need to put on a fighting gun for different scenarios.
I must be the only one that heard them talk about a "Smart Trigger." That is some wild technology! Just hold down the trigger and let the 'system' determine when it actually fires (when sights are aligned on target).
I've thought about a system like that for a while. I thought it would be a good pairing with a thermal optic, have it only fire when the system detects alignment with body heat
The IDF has used them for quite a while, they're almost always only used when taking out drones though because frankly if you can't shoot you shouldn't have a gun, but something that might be a bit of a challenge for even a good shooter, like a drone in the sky, it makes sense to have that extra little bit of help.
Back in the 1990's. It was called MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain). I see that the basics haven't changed. Teamwork and communication. Drones add better recon capability before going into an unknown situation. Great video. Semper Fi

That simulation of them clearing the building was terrifying. You can see the utter confidence and workmanlike precision in which they did it.

Keep in mind that theirs are heavily modified for war, not off the shelf.
Hearing them communicate while doing the demonstrations, then flawlessly switching to English to address Mike was pretty awesome.
The commands are associated with actions at this point, and switching to english causes them to think before executing a command
I understand what you mean. But depending on where you life that‘s pretty normal. As a central European (CH) I can do that with several languages within the same phrase.
Sounds dang awesome, even the more if you don‘t understand one part.
@@marcschreitmuller997 luckily I understand both parts, the hebrew in tactical speech is full of phrases and slang that you can't really translate properly. If an IDF soldier wants to talk about clearing a corner, he will talk about "opening a zig" (as in the first part of a zigzag).
I was worried Mike would get clipped, because he didn't communicate well with them. It had to be a concern for him at that moment.

I must be the only one that heard them talk about a "Smart Trigger." That is some wild technology! Just hold down the trigger and let the 'system' determine when it actually fires (when sights are aligned on target).
Google “Smart Shooter IDF”.
I've thought about a system like that for a while. I thought it would be a good pairing with a thermal optic, have it only fire when the system detects alignment with body heat
The IDF has used them for quite a while, they're almost always only used when taking out drones though because frankly if you can't shoot you shouldn't have a gun, but something that might be a bit of a challenge for even a good shooter, like a drone in the sky, it makes sense to have that extra little bit of help.
@@Knox-umbra their use is quite new, at least in large scale. the implementation was accelerated during the war.
