The siege in 1980 where Johnny Mac explodes the window and his team courageously enter through the now hole in the concrete wall was my favourite movie ever.
Seven troop is my favourite as you get this quite intimate character portraits of guys in his troop, and how deeply many of them were affected by Al's death in Northern Ireland.
The pilot he's talking about is Jim Stockdale who was a practitioner of stoicism. I'd also recommend a book called Mans search for meaning by Victor Frankl. If you've heard of it, have you read it? If you've read it, how have you applied it?
I was deployed days before the ground offense, to Al Jousf, SA. It was a hodge podge of Coalition SF. I became friends with a SAS guy named Mick. He told me that an SAS team was missing in the area. Later, I found out it was B20. The SAS was conducting RECON activities in the area, which involved female US military POW held captive across the border. Thats another story.
@@pm3577not uncommon between other service members, the fact they were missing in the area more than likely at that level, wouldn't have been classified information.
Soldier five is the best book about the bravo two zero operation. Mcnabs book isnt pure fiction the contacts were embellished but i wouldnt entirely trust the iraqis that asher spoke to either, mcnab did fuck up as the patrol commander for sure. Soldier five by coburn (the kiwi of the patrol) is the must read book about B20
Amazing book!
Thank you to all who served. Your sacrifice is never rewarded enough. 🇺🇸
That book was one fantastic read.

Bravo Two Zero is fantastic!
McNabs fiction and non fiction are incredible! Been reading his stuff for years.
He writes nothing but fiction.

Was that Mick Hawkes.
@@MONKeEeYboi I honestly can't remember.
Seems a lot of detailed information to be giving someone you’ve just met.

I wonder if Jack ever worked with the SAS or SBS
It's not uncommon for Seals to Cross train with foreign special forces groups and the US Marine Corps Recon units.
@RollingRigTraction not sure if it filters down from our tier one units to tier two units
What about Asher’s debunk video of the whole mission?! That it was embellished?
My favorite author from the SAS fiction club
Sorry if I’m a dumbass but what does he say in the ending line of the book? He’d “slaught em”?
"I'd slot 'em "
Put captions on, makes it easier to tell what he's saying 😉
Slot, meaning stab Hell out of them😂. It's a good effective and quiet means of giving the goodnight.
Slot them is an old British army saying for shooting someone
You should do an episode about doing illegal psychological operations on civilians with Rich Di Sabatino
Andy McNab. The king of bulls**t. After watching the documentary, The real bravo two zero. I don't believe a word that comes from this man's lips. 🙂
🎉🎉🎉
Why are folk still posting about this guy when his story was proven to be pure fiction?
