@@Bryce7O3 you do realize "women's" is a possessive noun, right? the word implies multiple women are in ownership of something. this is the best proof I've seen that our education system is suffering horrifically as a result of our insane military budget lmfao
How does it feel to lose to women and trans individuals? Does it hurt your fragile ego to know the pilot that shot a missile at you had painted nails? Lol.
According to one of those seal team 6 members, the way they took out khalid was actually pretty interesting. Long story short they were working their way up a stairwell, Khalid was at the top shooting down, so when he was reloading, from cover one of the seals says something twice, once in 2 languages they knew he'd understand. The seal said something along the lines of "khalid stop shooting, it's [insert courier name here]" and Khalid was so caught off guard, apparently they could hear him go "huh?", peaked his head around the corner to check and.... Pop... Khalid was taken out.
Not really. It's true that every Marine is a rifleman (infantry). But the Marinea are held to to a much higher standard then the Army. They are the only branch of the US military that can be deployed anywhere without Congress approving anything. If the President says go, the Marines go. Tip of the spear baby!

160th!!! My cousin is a retired Nightstalker! I had no freaking clue!!! All I knew was that we he was asked back twice after his first 20yrs, and he was a pilot. Flew Chinooks. This is freaking crazy!!!
My uncle was drafted during the Vietnam War. He figured if he has to go to the Army he might as well go all the way. He joined the Special Forces and became a Green Beret and was quickly promoted to leader of his small squad. He was unfortunately killed after being there for only about 9 months. He was Missing in Action for 6 weeks. We didn’t find out until recently, that he was working with the CIA on crazy classified missions, and we only found out because certain things were declassified several years ago and someone who was there wrote a book about all these Top Secret Missions during the Vietnam War. We found out that my uncle was mentioned several times by name in this book and only found out about the book through a family friend that is a Military History Buff and loves reading or watching anything related to to it. I’m proud that he was a part of a lot of important missions working with and training South Vietnamese while doing what I call “ side missions”for the CIA that apparently no one in his squad even knew about. While researching all of this for my family, unfortunately I found out way more than I wanted to about the circumstances surrounding his death, and the fact that the CIA basically took possession of his possessions after his death so they could be disposed of properly. I think that upset me just as much, because my family would’ve loved to keep some of his uniform, dog tags, etc. all we have left of him are pictures and all of his medals awarded to him after death. Besides his Purple Heart,💜 I think I am most proud of one awarded to him by the South Vietnam government ( basically their version of a Purple Heart). We are very proud of him and we know it’s hard to train for any of these branches of service, and I respect them all so much, anyone who serves no matter if they are Special Forces or not. But I do know that we’d rather have him here with us. God bless them all🙏💕🫶🏼
@@curlygal7315 sounds like a recon team. They’d run in three and six back in the late 1960’s in tandem with LRRPs. They choose the best for those recon patrols. Your uncle did us proud.
You made a great point my man. America needs to be strong to keep the crazies around the world in check. You see what happened worldwide the last 3 n a half tears with weak leadership in America
My second son works with Navy special forces, as a dad, I don't think the pride I have is sinful but yes, I am very proud of our military and all of our sons and daughters that are very overworked and underpaid simply because they love not just their country but every person around the world that loves freedom and individual liberties.
The segment about the Rangers is about “Ranger School” that many members not from Ranger regiment could attend. it’s a leadership school. However, new soldiers assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment will have to undergo a selection process called RASP. Ranger Assessment and Selection Program. Then they will receive their scroll insignia for their left sleeve and the famous tan beret. Assuming they made the 50% attrition rate.
Green Berets are what are referred to as force multipliers. They are essentially instructors sent in to teach a local population how to fight. They can operate any weapon system, including foreign weapons. They are experts on tactics, including guerilla tactics. They speak multiple languages. Green Berets are typically older than most other special forces. You could send a 4-man squad of Green Berets into an area and a month later have hundreds of guerilla fighters.
Night Stalkers have a motto "Night Stalkers Don't Quit". They have a saying "Anytime anyplace plus or minus 30 seconds". They are so good they can plan an operation to within a minute - after flying for 10 hours........ They're the unit that stole an MI 25 Hind from under Ghaddafi's nose in Libya back in the 80s - it's on display in a museum in Alabama. Using MH 47 helicopters they came in, took off the rotors, sling loaded it on one MH47 then loaded the rotors and whatever they could strip into the other MH 47 for their flight back.
Im a Navy brat, meaning my dad was in the Navy when I was born. I was actually born on a Marine Corps air base, the Navy and Marines are related. When you're a military kid, you dont fully understand what your dad does, they dont tell you everything. My dad was a medic and medical corpsman. But me and my sister hung out with this other brother and sister who's dad was a Seal. We didnt know that at the time, and he didnt look all hardcore either, he looked like the youth group pastor at church. You'd never know he was a gov't trained assassin.
My dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam. I was always so proud of him for that. He said they just told him he was gonna be one but I’ve since learned that you volunteer. He was being modest. ❤
SWCC: Andre, you guess is NOT correct. SWCC members are not Navy Seals, they are the combat boat operators that bring the Seals to the fight and extract them from the fight. They are warriors who fearlessly go into harms way, they are not the Seals.
If you haven't already seen it, you must watch them movie "American Sniper". Starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, this movie delves deep into the life and combat experience of the best Seal Sniper in U.S. History. With over 160 confirmed kills, Chris Kyle was known as the legend among Navy Seals and Marines. His presence was enough to motivate soldiers to walk into the war without any fear. Watch the story of a soldier who didn’t lose any fight on the battleground but lost his last fight at home.
I understand your enthusiasm for this type of information. I'm the same. It's one of the reasons I love your channel. Keep posting, Andre. You are loved!
In the 90s I went through Airborne. Then I went to R.I.P (Ranger Indoctrination Program) It was 2 1/2 weeks of pure hell we start with 250 people graduated 72
I have seen the seals practicing and training in Puerto Rico and it was freaking amazing to watch . My dad was stationed in Roosevelt roads for 3 years
The reason the United States Navy formed the SEALs in '62 was that four years earlier Congress passed the Uniform Services Act that took the Marine Corps out of the Navy proper, though leaving them under the Department of the Navy.
I did some time in special ops, decades ago. Green Berets use the French pronunciation of Beret... like Bear-Ray... And I noticed a special segment on the Navy Seals. In the Early Days, (when I was involved, 1970) The hardest training was Seal Training, with underwater demolition, among the many things taught. Hell week was not exclusive to Seals, but the Bell you could ring was only available to those in Seal Training Proper. The other (very few) of us were not able to quit. It was truly, finish and live, or die in training. About one in three hundred didn't make it.
@victor, thought I was a bad ass in 72 when enlisted USN, after boot & A school volunteered for Buds, 40 days & 15lbs lighter rang out, SEAL training no joke.BTW retired MM1 1996
US Military is awesome, but teams like the SEALS, Green berets, and so on are uniquely qualified to take on seemingly impossible situations. I love our Veterans and all who serve.❤🇺🇲
SEAL Team 6 got its names supposedly because at the time there were 3 SEAL teams so to throw off our enemies, it was named as SEAL Team 6 so the enemy would freak out and try to find Team 4 and Team 5 that didnt exist.
I noticed they didn't cover the other elements of Air Force Special Operations Command nor did they cover the Ranger Recon Company or the Intelligence Support Activity. For Air Force they covered the 24th Special Tactics Squadron which is their tier 1 element - but the tier 2 elements of combat air controllers, pararescue jumpers and others weren't talked about - they all have separate abilities that make them more unique then other special operations units. RRC and ISA are both tier 1 units in the army - ISA solely does intelligence gathering in support of tier 1 and 2 units. RRC does recon of targets to make sure the target is on scene as well as looking for escape routes.
One thing i learned that every unit sent out on a mission, one or more in the unit has to be fluent in the nation's language and also every unit has to have one or more medics. During the major training of personnel for these Special Forces, a secondary expertise has to be achieved. Incredible and unimagineable to be tasked with becoming a special warrior. There is also the ultimate commitment to the job. The cost of training must be in the six figures. Also extra incentives with bonus pay is offered for extremely dangers situations. Mind-blowing. A Prideful Thank you to all these soldiers.
Ok major correction. Going to and graduating Ranger School does not make you an Army Ranger. This is a huge misconception. Ranger School, though named for the Rangers, is an Army leadership school that anyone in the military, yes all branches, can go to and it is NOT a part of the 75th Ranger Regiment. The 75th Ranger Regiment proper, which is what this program should have described and like all the other SOCOM units has its own assessment and training wherein at the end, if you survive, you get the 75th Ranger Regiment Scroll and your tan beret. It is expected that every member of the 75th, does go to Ranger School, but that is not what makes them Rangers.
9:33 your excitement is awesome. I just found your channel abd am loving your content so far. If you haven't already seen his videos I recommend you look upTge Fat Electrician, he's an amazing storyteller who covers lots of military history a d i really think you would enjoy his work.
It's been said by better men than I: "There are many SEALS who try out for Delta Force. There is NEVER a Delta operator that tries out for the SEAL teams". It would be a downgrade, rather than an upgrade.
It is not that it is a downgrade to go to Devgru, it is that they don't meant the requirements to go to green platoon. It is about a different training pipeline.
You also have USAF Pararescue, USAF Gunships and MC-130J aircraft that provide long range transport into politically deigned areas. They also deliver the MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) to places that need to be energetically disassembled.
fyi...I have commented a few times in your videos. And they are entertaining. I should inform you of something. I was a US Force Recon Marine. In an age long ago, before restructuring and things, ie early 90s. While I think the Seals are cool, lots of good people. Force Recon does all the same training, but we have a small advantage, we start off as Marines. You see Basic USMC Boot Camp is a lot more intensive than the other Branches of the US Military, then after you become a Marine, if you meet some other qualifications, and test into Force Recon, then you go through a whole lot more training and testing, then you get to do all the same schools as the Seals and the Army special forces as well. This is because the mission is that much more vital. Before Seal Team goes in to get the Glory there is a Force recon team with eyes on the target sending data back to Washington.
If you want an even deeper dive check out the Shaun Ryan podcast. He has many special forces guys who tell stories about their time in service. Some truly great warriors. Shaun himself was a Navy Seal.
The SWCC is a separate soec ops force that works along side the seals as well as other teams and have their own training regimens and responsibilities..
I love your enthusiasm. You know, you have a far greater appreciation for the USA than half of those who live here. They don’t even realise that the only reason they have the time, money, and freedom to bitch about how terrible a place America is, on their iPhone, is that they live in the freest, richest, greatest country in the world. They DON’T seem to realise, though, that if they wish to continue to live that lifestyle, then they need to preserve our culture, our Constitution, and not just stand by while corrupt politicians and greedy corporate monopolies work to undermine it all.
Yes seal team six is very good but they are also the most well known there is also several other seal teams who are just as good if not better but as a Navy vet myself I've talked to several seals and most say the other special forces teams they respect the most are the Air Force Pararescue teams and that's because most are actual doctors who jump into a firefight to save lives
Those that hide from the camera's are the Air Force Special Operators, they're the ones that every one else calls when they get in trouble. Air Force Used to be called Combat Controllers, and Air Sea Rescue. The US SWCC is similar to the UK's SBS.
You may enjoy checking out the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. They're not involved with combat, but the entrance training is severe, with many applicants from other forces failing to finish. There's also an understanding that failing Rescue Swimmer training and returning to one's former military unit holds no shame or judgment. It's just that hard.
What are the most precious things on earth? The Air. The Land and The Sea. These things are to be protected. And revered. So humanity can flourish. 🇺🇸✌️
SWCC's are not Navy Seals, but their training is very similar. They have their own version of Hell Week and they train at the same facility. The training is marginally easier/shorter, but they are considered tier 2 special operators, just like a Navy SEAL. They deliver the grim reaper to your doorstep, and they are pretty much the grim reaper themselves.
I don’t know if you take video requests, but if you do, I’ve got a good one here; “ Why Every Country Combined Still Couldn’t Invade The US” by RealLifeLore. It’s log, but a great watch nonetheless.
This video did a injustice to Special Forces aka “Green Berets”. They are the jack of all trades and are the first in and the last out of a country they operate. They are infiltrators, teachers and ambassadors of the battlefield. They specialize in Guerrilla Warfare, they teach our military allies and will sometimes be imbedded with partner forces where green berets will teach them how to overthrow a government. They operate in different parts of the world, in different climates, and learn how to speak different languages and live among different cultures. They also have better dive teams than navy seals!
SEAL team 6 is DEVGRU "Delta Force" is SFODD.... Special Forces Operations Detachment Delta You should watch the movie Act of Valor. It has SEALs and SWCC
@@Dman911011 Yeah, I just checked, it was about 10 months ago. go to his channel and next to community tab hit the search magnifyglass and type in "Star spangled banner" . It popped up right on the top.
do you love that our government is sending our tax dollars to pay for overseas wars instead of helping its own citizens? because I think we could take a small fraction of our insanely huge military budget and put it toward basic human welfare, child programs, education, etc. but I guess our gov. prioritizes global imperialism over its own people.
My grandpa was a Green Beret in veitnam. My father tried to go Delta Force, he broke the cartilage in his knees and was never allowed to actually join. Took some convincing, but he managed to stay airborne
Fun fact 160th SOAR night stalkers was created because of that failed hostage rescue. Afterwards because of the failure they took a group of soldiers from 101st airborne division and turn them into 160th soar.
I was in a nuclear weapns Security Police Squadron that had a simiulated battle with Red Cell the team that tested nuclear weapon security. We "won" but lost like 250 people and they didn't lose any of the 19 Seals that attacked. Their Command told us how good we had done and no one else had beaten them. We just looked at each other knowing we got our asses handed to us.
Most were pretty close except Delta Force, any military service member can apply for Delta Force after they have reached a NCO rank or equivalent in their service. Delta is so effective because they can have the cream from the various services.
Yeah we got the best of the best. The landscape of America is very diverse in its terrain and all of them special forces groups gets people from all over the country people who specialize in particular areas. Like me growing up in the south in the woods I feel pretty confident in my skills and getting around in woodland areas and swamps like areas. An if I spent enough time up there in the Appalachian mountain range I could become a master of that too and that's why I like the state of North Carolina we got a little bit of everything besides deserts 🤣🤣we don't got those got to go to Texas or Arizona for that shit.
SWCC is called “Swick” and if you want to see a true show of American firepower, you should watch some videos about them. Small river boats absolutely covered from head to toe with heavy machine guns whose entire job is drive in and save Navy Seals anywhere near a river or beach.
Delta Force, is the top of the top. SEALs are amongst the best but there is only one. Delta, starts with a ruck march. 40 miles, also you are using land navigation. Which means, a compass and a map with coordinates. Multiple stops for new coordinates. That's stage one, did you hear me talk about other soldiers? You. 40 miles.
One of my good friends is a PJ (Pararescue) in the navy and his dad lives directly across the street from my dad's house haha. A few years ago we went hunting and he taught me how to shoot and site my scope precisely and how to factor in many variables like temp and wind speed. I shot my first deer directly in the heart from over 1 mile away. If we ever get invaded I would take out so many enemies from hidden tree stands.
Now the DOJ has a new action, authorization to kill American Citizens, this totally not in the US Constitution. This is typical for the current administration. Wake up America, think before you vote !!
Whereas Army Delta Force and Navy Seals may spend weeks preparing for a mission, Army Rangers train to perform any mission. A Ranger team may attack a compound, collect intelligence, and return to base in the morning, and then act on that intelligence with another mission in the afternoon. If you want something done in a week, you want Delta Force or Seals. If you need something now, you want Rangers.
17:26 It's not too rare to see the US fail. In fact I think it's incredibly important to expose our failures and not let them be buried by time and/or bias. It directs our growth but it also keeps us grounded as fellow people on this planet rather than pretending like we are above anyone else. We are powerful but we are not infallible.
All special ops teams are the best of the best. What team is used depends what training they have for what types of missions. It costs a lot of money to train Special Opps Teams. Not every operating needs a top tier unit, and not every unit needs to be top tier.
The US military is undoubtedly very strong.

Marines aren't special forces, they're just the Army with boats, other than MARSOC

Not really. It's true that every Marine is a rifleman (infantry). But the Marinea are held to to a much higher standard then the Army.

It is expected that every member of the 75th, does go to Ranger School, but that is not what makes them Rangers.
9:33 your excitement is awesome. I just found your channel abd am loving your content so far. If you haven't already seen his videos I recommend you look upTge Fat Electrician, he's an amazing storyteller who covers lots of military history a d i really think you would enjoy his work.
It's been said by better men than I: "There are many SEALS who try out for Delta Force. There is NEVER a Delta operator that tries out for the SEAL teams". It would be a downgrade, rather than an upgrade.
Not to mention there are more Deltas then DevGrus - you have a better chance as a SEAL to get into Delta then DevGru.
It is not that it is a downgrade to go to Devgru, it is that they don't meant the requirements to go to green platoon. It is about a different training pipeline.
You forgot to mention that Army guys don't do water...
@@reaperbscSo we are supposed to pretend like each Army Special Forces Group doesn't have dive teams?
Yeah we do. WWII, Delta, rangers, etc@@reaperbsc
You also have USAF Pararescue, USAF Gunships and MC-130J aircraft that provide long range transport into politically deigned areas. They also deliver the MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) to places that need to be energetically disassembled.
Energetically disassembled is the classiest way I've ever seen
"blown the f*ck up said".😂😂
So thankful for the hard work, dedication and fierce commitment of our US military and their loved ones. 🇺🇸
The movie is Zero Dark 30, good movie 👍👍
American people are very kind. Once you mess with us or our allies, you don’t a chance.
OH YEAH MY SON IS AIRBORNE IN ITALY RIGHT NOW BE HOME FOR GOOD IN FEBUARY
Amazing
YOU ARE AN AMERICAN MY FRIEND YOU JUST LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE LOL
fyi...I have commented a few times in your videos. And they are entertaining. I should inform you of something.
I was a US Force Recon Marine. In an age long ago, before restructuring and things, ie early 90s.
While I think the Seals are cool, lots of good people. Force Recon does all the same training, but we have a small advantage, we start off as Marines. You see Basic USMC Boot Camp is a lot more intensive than the other Branches of the US Military, then after you become a Marine, if you meet some other qualifications, and test into Force Recon, then you go through a whole lot more training and testing, then you get to do all the same schools as the Seals and the Army special forces as well. This is because the mission is that much more vital. Before Seal Team goes in to get the Glory there is a Force recon team with eyes on the target sending data back to Washington.
I love the way he says, "muh friends."
If you want an even deeper dive check out the Shaun Ryan podcast. He has many special forces guys who tell stories about their time in service. Some truly great warriors. Shaun himself was a Navy Seal.
The SWCC is a separate soec ops force that works along side the seals as well as other teams and have their own training regimens and responsibilities..
I love your enthusiasm. You know, you have a far greater appreciation for the USA than half of those who live here. They don’t even realise that the only reason they have the time, money, and freedom to bitch about how terrible a place America is, on their iPhone, is that they live in the freest, richest, greatest country in the world. They DON’T seem to realise, though, that if they wish to continue to live that lifestyle, then they need to preserve our culture, our Constitution, and not just stand by while corrupt politicians and greedy corporate monopolies work to undermine it all.
Yes seal team six is very good but they are also the most well known there is also several other seal teams who are just as good if not better but as a Navy vet myself I've talked to several seals and most say the other special forces teams they respect the most are the Air Force Pararescue teams and that's because most are actual doctors who jump into a firefight to save lives
Love your enthusiasm.
Those that hide from the camera's are the Air Force Special Operators, they're the ones that every one else calls when they get in trouble. Air Force Used to be called Combat Controllers, and Air Sea Rescue. The US SWCC is similar to the UK's SBS.
18! It could be interesting. Thank you for your continued interest in America!
Love that black lotus art in the background
You may enjoy checking out the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. They're not involved with combat, but the entrance training is severe, with many applicants from other forces failing to finish. There's also an understanding that failing Rescue Swimmer training and returning to one's former military unit holds no shame or judgment. It's just that hard.
They also perform some remarkable rescues off the coast, especially off Alaska during Crab season!
What are the most precious things on earth? The Air. The Land and The Sea. These things are to be protected. And revered. So humanity can flourish. 🇺🇸✌️
Greetings from Colorado my friend! ✌ I love watching your videos...
Special Forces are the best and as an American I am very proud.
SWCC's are not Navy Seals, but their training is very similar. They have their own version of Hell Week and they train at the same facility. The training is marginally easier/shorter, but they are considered tier 2 special operators, just like a Navy SEAL. They deliver the grim reaper to your doorstep, and they are pretty much the grim reaper themselves.
I don’t know if you take video requests, but if you do, I’ve got a good one here; “ Why Every Country Combined Still Couldn’t Invade The US” by RealLifeLore. It’s log, but a great watch nonetheless.
This video should be called the reason why you should fear the United States
with the addition of "this is not a flex, this is disturbing af"
Thats true
Russia and China don't fear the USA
This video did a injustice to Special Forces aka “Green Berets”. They are the jack of all trades and are the first in and the last out of a country they operate. They are infiltrators, teachers and ambassadors of the battlefield. They specialize in Guerrilla Warfare, they teach our military allies and will sometimes be imbedded with partner forces where green berets will teach them how to overthrow a government. They operate in different parts of the world, in different climates, and learn how to speak different languages and live among different cultures. They also have better dive teams than navy seals!
This is so cool to know! My dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam. Makes me even more proud of him! RIP daddy ❤
SEAL team 6 is DEVGRU
"Delta Force" is SFODD.... Special Forces Operations Detachment Delta
You should watch the movie Act of Valor. It has SEALs and SWCC
As an American Navy brat (father served in Korea and Vietnam), some of these really surprised me. Thank you for the education.
18. The battle of Kasham is a very interesting event from recent history.
My cousin was in the Green Beret. They went on several secret missions that even as family we never knew where, even now.
Army Vet. Here , you should react to " The Star Spangled as you've never heard it before " very powerfull video.
I think he actually did do a react to that one awhile back
@@growfortoday7862 oh i was lookin his vids didnt see it
@@Dman911011 Yeah, I just checked, it was about 10 months ago. go to his channel and next to community tab hit the search magnifyglass and type in "Star spangled banner" . It popped up right on the top.
I LOVE the military!
do you love that our government is sending our tax dollars to pay for overseas wars instead of helping its own citizens? because I think we could take a small fraction of our insanely huge military budget and put it toward basic human welfare, child programs, education, etc. but I guess our gov. prioritizes global imperialism over its own people.
My grandpa was a Green Beret in veitnam. My father tried to go Delta Force, he broke the cartilage in his knees and was never allowed to actually join. Took some convincing, but he managed to stay airborne
The movie Act of Valor shows what SWCC does
Actually I of the opinion the whole world has gone absolutely insane!!!
I spent 14 years in the 160th. I'm surprised to see us on this list. One of our primary objectives was avoiding notice. Guess no one is perfect.
Fun fact 160th SOAR night stalkers was created because of that failed hostage rescue. Afterwards because of the failure they took a group of soldiers from 101st airborne division and turn them into 160th soar.
E3 is like a Sergent or complain specialist
I was in a nuclear weapns Security Police Squadron that had a simiulated battle with Red Cell the team that tested nuclear weapon security. We "won" but lost like 250 people and they didn't lose any of the 19 Seals that attacked. Their Command told us how good we had done and no one else had beaten them. We just looked at each other knowing we got our asses handed to us.
PJ's are the angels of the battlefield
I always support ya bro keep it up
Thank you
20:19 SWCC members and not Navy Seals, they have a different training pipeline.
the recon officers go hand to had combat, and silence when they are landing
Great video!
Most were pretty close except Delta Force, any military service member can apply for Delta Force after they have reached a NCO rank or equivalent in their service. Delta is so effective because they can have the cream from the various services.
Just imagine if everyone graduated from each of these special forces
Yeah we got the best of the best. The landscape of America is very diverse in its terrain and all of them special forces groups gets people from all over the country people who specialize in particular areas. Like me growing up in the south in the woods I feel pretty confident in my skills and getting around in woodland areas and swamps like areas. An if I spent enough time up there in the Appalachian mountain range I could become a master of that too and that's why I like the state of North Carolina we got a little bit of everything besides deserts 🤣🤣we don't got those got to go to Texas or Arizona for that shit.
You should watch the Fat Election on the different Branches and what they do. It is fun and informative.
You definitely better be tough mentally and physically.
~Don't apologize for your interest in our military...your eyes all lit up like a lil boy i love it 😊 thx for your vidz...❤ em!~
You should watch the movie “Zero Dark Thirty”, it’s about the tracking down & killing of Bin Laden. Excellent movie!
NAVY SEALS 4 part series on Prime. Very cool.
SWCC is called “Swick” and if you want to see a true show of American firepower, you should watch some videos about them. Small river boats absolutely covered from head to toe with heavy machine guns whose entire job is drive in and save Navy Seals anywhere near a river or beach.
Delta Force, is the top of the top. SEALs are amongst the best but there is only one.
Delta, starts with a ruck march. 40 miles, also you are using land navigation. Which means, a compass and a map with coordinates. Multiple stops for new coordinates. That's stage one, did you hear me talk about other soldiers? You. 40 miles.
One of my good friends is a PJ (Pararescue) in the navy and his dad lives directly across the street from my dad's house haha. A few years ago we went hunting and he taught me how to shoot and site my scope precisely and how to factor in many variables like temp and wind speed. I shot my first deer directly in the heart from over 1 mile away. If we ever get invaded I would take out so many enemies from hidden tree stands.
Small correction: PJs (Para-Rescuemen) are Air Force assets only. The Navy has Combat Swimmers.
Logistics to combat personnel ratio is the real power in the American military. The fighting troops are only the pointy bit of a very large spear.
Most call it training, few call it hanging with my brothers.
love ya andre
the us has desserts , frozen tundra , swampland , rain forest , city's and mountains inside the country - we can train for anything
And rain titanium poles from space but we would prefer to train for peace and quiet thank you.
Most underestimated part of the US military. Its armed citizens.
We are legion, make no mistake.
Now the DOJ has a new action, authorization to kill American Citizens, this totally not in the US Constitution. This is typical for the current administration. Wake up America, think before you vote !!
Whereas Army Delta Force and Navy Seals may spend weeks preparing for a mission, Army Rangers train to perform any mission. A Ranger team may attack a compound, collect intelligence, and return to base in the morning, and then act on that intelligence with another mission in the afternoon. If you want something done in a week, you want Delta Force or Seals. If you need something now, you want Rangers.
'splained to me once like this, if you want the control tower, call SF. If you want the whole base, call the Rangers.
The American military is the best because of the training! Our technology is the cherry on top.
17:26 It's not too rare to see the US fail. In fact I think it's incredibly important to expose our failures and not let them be buried by time and/or bias. It directs our growth but it also keeps us grounded as fellow people on this planet rather than pretending like we are above anyone else. We are powerful but we are not infallible.
It's rare though, you must admit that. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah, pretty proud of our military, not only the Special Forces, but maybe especially so w/ SF. 18
I Love all the Special Forces.
God rest their souls to the Seals and the others that ended up dead. 🙏🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏
Glad to see 160th SOAR mentioned, NSDQ
All special ops teams are the best of the best. What team is used depends what training they have for what types of missions. It costs a lot of money to train Special Opps Teams. Not every operating needs a top tier unit, and not every unit needs to be top tier.
