  • On January 21st, eight members of SAS squadron Bravo Two Zero under the command of Sergeant Andy McNab are airlifted to northwestern Iraq. “The whole regiments effort was focused on stopping the scuds firing into Israel,” according to McNab. “The problem was there was no information; very little mapping and no satellite imagery of the area.” That lack of information would prove to be Bravo Two Zero’s undoing.

      It is sad how the British believed the lies by Cheney and Rumsfeld and backed us invading another third-world country to steal its resources by milking sympathy for 9/11 instead of hunting down Bin Laden. That wasn't until another 3000+ Americans died in Iraq and President Obama went after the actual enemy. England should think twice about who is telling them what before sending British soldiers to die in a criminal war that never should have happened.

    Winston Churchill arranged for the British Special Forces to start & train the American Special Forces during WWII. During one particular op, the Americans that were held in an Iraqi prison were tortured and revealed where some of the British SAS were hiding. Some were captured, tortured, but never broke to disclose the whereabouts of their team mates. After much negotiation they were released a long time later. The British SAS normally NEVER disclose their identity nor speak to the press. But they were so incensed by what happened to them that they did. They announced they would NEVER work with the Americans again. I am proud of have known an SAS soldier and they are still the best in the world. & God Bless ALL military members around the world, they are incredibly brave people...Thanks for the video

I really enjoyed the first 8 or 9 Stone books well worth reading.

      I try desperately not to nitpick at cases like this because I wasn't there. But even though I am a Marine Corps veteran and law enforcement officer I have never heard of a specific timeline or schedule that applies to the amount of ammo a man can carry.
      Jarheads can carry all they want unless ordered to do otherwise. You can even see Seals, Force Recon, and other Tier 2 spec ops dudes carrying perhaps a dozen mags plus one in the rifle, which could be 390 rounds of 5.56NATO in 30 round mags or 260 if carrying 20 round mags. Either loadout has no calendar attached that I've heard of.

      They are actually trained/expected to leave their men behind if it risked compromising their own lives and/or mission, including those captured or even those that are wounded but still alive. It's cold blooded but effective, and one of the main things that separates British SAS from, say, US Spec Ops who would do anything in their power to never leave a man or body behind.

    This is a great story. The only draw back is there's several versions of it. One thing that this not disputed is the team went into Iraq. Some were captured, some were killed or died, and one made the distance into Syria.

      Great story, but not true. All fake from the moment they stepped off. The packweight, the distances, the enemy, all made up. Search the follow up story by another sas, who retraced the steps, interviewed the locals.

      @@geoffcrumblin7505 I hate people you. Just because one came out with a book and a documentary claiming eveything is fake, does not mean you should not question him. "The real bravo two zero" is the most fake story, people who believe it dont know alot about special forces.

      To tell all the truth of the story would be to share secrets they must keep of how they train and do missions. Never tell your enemy how you do jack, keeping him ignorant and fed misinformation helps you win and survive!

      May God bless those who were killed they did sacrifice a lot to save the majority of lives. He knew why they were there and what their missions aim was about.
