The Danish man she was kidnapped with I believe was quoted as saying something along the lines of "I was fortunate to be kidnapped with an American".
I thought I remembered something like that. Maybe I saw it on a longer version of this video where they went into more of the after rescue stuff.
That was at the end of this "60 Minutes" piece, but James stopped the video before the end, so we didn't get to hear that quote. Too bad, because that's a terrific quote.
To answer the question about meeting the SEALs, it's generally for reasons of operational security that they maintain their anonymity.
@@Whoozerdaddy they eventually did end up meeting members of the team that rescued her. Happened months/years afterwards though.
@@tommcdonald5958 It's cool that they did, especially pleasing for her, no doubt. And no doubt the reason for delay was for security.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." George Orwell
Yet wokey assholes think they get to pick & choose off a menu weeks, months & years in advance what degree of violence they will tolerate on their behalf w/o spilling a sip of their pumpkin spice latte.
"The killed them all?"
Your god damn right they killed them all.
Oorah
My sister was a nurse in Afghanistan, she was a officer in the US Navy. She was at a Field hospital when they were bombed and shot at… my sister was going into shock and the USMC soldiers there ran to her and laid on to of her so she would not get shot. They saved her life..
So glad the marines were there. Was your sister at FOB Salerno?
@mattc1830 Salerno is severely Haunted. Especially one of the Guard Towers, there...😬
She does yearly tributes to the Seals and the teams!
She knows NOW who got her out, she has said she will never quit giving back to the military cause they would never give up on her
It’s amazing that they were able to come out and say whom they are. We see them as hero’s but to them no matter what it was just another day. I praise anyone in the service and when ever I go out and there’s someone in uniform they are not paying. Unless it’s my friend bc they run up food bills like no tomorrow lol.
@@dstamour625 after they retire some stuff comes out but while they are active duty it needs to be a secret if it gets out it could be dangerous. I see people on her sometime saying my son is a navy seal i think they are full of shit if not that will get a knock on the door
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
@@internetcensure5849 we would send in Boy Scouts for you and your lot…
@@dstamour625 I can't believe that they make you eat a pound of human feces in order to join the navy seals.
Doesn't that seem a little unnecessary?
WOW I was moved to tears when she described how they surrounded her and laid down over her to protect her and how she never knew their names or saw their faces
Some of the most fearless heroes are nameless and faceless. Next time you complain, about having to pay taxes, just remember this story. The American military is worth every penny we spend on it! I served 20 years with some of those heroes, so I should know.
@@saaamember97 I'm Canadian but I agree, freedom isn't free. I'm thankful for all that serve in our military and the US military. We are neighbours that support each other when the chips are down.
🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦 ❤❤❤
**I have to incude the UK 🇬🇧 as well
The SEALs almost certainly had body armor, and so were less vulnerable than Jessica, but the mission objective comes first; their safely is secondary.
@@ariochiv Even with body armour they are still in danger, it's amazing that they do these things without a second thought for their own safety.
Huge respect to our military in 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
@@ariochiv a lot of those fighters in that region have shit tons of that cheap Chinese 7.62 api rounds that shit slices thru “3/4inch steel so yea that body armor would not hold up.
I myself am a Army veteran. I have the utmost respect for Navy seals. They are amazing.
Kenny, thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service.
I have had the pleasure of knowing two of them personally. They are oustanding human beings. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service. There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The reason that the government refuses to negotiate with them is because if they DO give them the money, and it becomes known that the government is willing to pay for the release of hostages, then that incentivizes criminals to take more hostages.
That the way it should be, but Obama did pay cash to the Taliban, and he should have been hung for it.
The U.S. government (and UK government) not negotiating with terrorists isn't actually true. It happens. It's just usually done through intermediaries. Also, whether a group qualifies as terrorists is kind of murky.
@@krayzy932 Yes you are right, but Obama did it on TV
It's not a matter of negotiating or not. Negotiations are how prisoner exchanges happen. It's a matter of the government not giving in to ransom demands and there was no government to negotiate with in Jessica's situation.
@@bl6252 always someone who can’t be supportive of their government no matter who is in office. They just show how stupid and petty they are.
American Navy Seals are some of the most badass and at the same time nicest men on earth. I know one... he's a terrific human. I remember when Jessica was rescued. Cannot imagine what she went through. Thank you Seals!! So very proud and grateful!! 🇺🇲❤
Real super heroes don't wear capes they say we are the American military and we came for you
US Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Green Berets etc.--absolute bad assess. Good luck fighting those folks.
Those “bandits” got what they deserved...American justice!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
Navy Seals remain anonymous! That’s their job! Not looking for praise! That’s our USA hero’s! Proud American here! This is what we do! 👍 thankful every day of my life that I live in the USA!
This is the love of America and what Americans stands for 💕🙏
A couple of the SEALS on that mission have gone public through podcasts detailing the events that night. This 60 Minutes interview only scratches the surface, and it still leaves me in tears just hearing the basics of the situation.
Do you know the names of the podcasts or interviews with the SEALS? I’d love to listen to them!
@@alisecornia4454 Look up Justin Sheffield to find some links for you to choose from.
@@Cubs-Fan.10 thank you.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
@@internetcensure5849 yeah, they're also great to snap your tiny neck for CZcams talk. As a veteran myself, I'd gladly assist. Although it wouldn't be needed to end your whole cycle.
In this story you hear the name Paul, a guy who worked and was kidnapped with Jessica. He was rescued as well and is from Denmark. In another interview with 60 Minutes, Paul stated that the only reason he was rescued was because he was kidnapped with an American. He said his nation would not have been able to get him out of that hellhole. The SEALs arrived killed everyone and got Jessica and him on a helicopter.
Of course Denmark could have liberated them. But they don't have the same options with equipment, and Intel, and the government also has to give permission for such an operation.
@@akyhne lol no. Denmark would not have been able to set up a special ops team that got them out that the US did
@@AW-zk5qb And why do you think that's the case?
@@internetcensure5849 you call that a fight? That was an execution. If you were anything other than a fool, you would realize that you don't want to know the full potential of any SOF.
@@silus1685 Nothin personal. Just business.
The seals do not mess around, they eliminate enemy personal, PERIOD. This young woman was the highest priority to the SEALS, They would get her out at all costs. God bless all of America's special operators. Their identities are never known, they appear like ghosts and disappear like ghosts.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
That's why we get all these books and movies and stories and podcasts written or spoken by them....
from what i gathered, they keep a flag for every special mission and give it to whoever the mission was about.
It was an exceptional job. Having said that, this was an easier mission than they are used to and trained for. We fight for those who can’t fight for themselves and we will die doing it. Everyone wants to come home but we are prepared to be the ones that don’t.
I am so honored to have a former SEAL as a friend. They are a very special breed of men, not the easiest to know. What they do as a SEAL never leaves them. May God bless them all.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
I have a family friend who is a SEAL(now retired). They are some of the most professional badasses on this planet. My dad would always ask to hear stories and he wouldn’t even hint at the idea of him being involved in a high profile mission like this one. Class act.
THE most badass!!
With special forces it is not talked about. They are NOT SUPPOSED to write books or even admit to what they did, dud not do or places they went.
It is often what they DO NOT say that hints at it. They are guarded and quiet and admit to only being a US Navy man like they are average.
Pieces of uniform if you know what you are looking at, place base names in the US, or other unusual things like pictures taken of very simple things like babies and flowers to show. Never military stuff. The less said, the more they have seen and done in general.
This video exemplifies why I feel such pride in being a Marine Wife (retired) because I know the selfless and heroic acts that our Service Members are willing to go to, when it really matters, so that we can live free. I will admit that it's a little harder as a mom of a daughter and son who are Active Duty (AD) because no matter how old they get, they are still my babies, but I also couldn't be prouder ! 🇺🇲💖🇺🇲
Same here! My Marine husband has retired, and I have 4 active duty children. It has been a stressful life, but we love our country and are happy to have served and continue to serve.
Thank you all for your service. It is the whole family that serves. My Dad was a tail Gunner on a medivac helicopter in Vietnam I was six or seven years old at the time I can remember it being as hard on me and my sister and Mom as it was on my dad again thank you for your families service
By the Grace of God I pray your babies always come home. Their service does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for your service!! 🇺🇸
Fun fact: Dependas don't actually retire. Their spouses retire.
I was once a "black car" driver and was contracted to drive Jessica and her husband to a speaking engagement. We ended up spending about 8 hours together (traffic in this area can be rough). They were both so gracious and kind. At the end, they gave me a signed copy of her book. Whenever I see this pop up on CZcams I think of them and hope they're both doing well.
That's awesome ❤❤❤❤✌✌✌✌
Like a black Honda fit? J/k... Tysm for your service, even if it was for a private company.
Soldiers I served with from the UK were all great men! Brothers of mine for life

14:30 I love how Millie sounds surprised. When you send an elite military unit to rescue a hostage, they don't start by asking nicely. :p

And how should these blessings manifest themselves? If he blessed them all, none of them would ever be killed.
Perhaps it's arrogrant to tell your god who he should or should not bless. Just like prayers are arrogant.
But thankfully, your god, along with the other 3,000 man made gods, is fictitious. There is zero evidence for the existence of any gods.

@@corinnepmorrison1854 This is not about opinions. Not mine and not yours. It is about there the evidence lies and the facts. There has been no evidence presented at all to substantiate the claim that any god exists.
That is a fact. If there was, then this god would be incorporated into the scientific model and the person who presented this evidence would win a Nobel Peace price and be extremely wealthy.
What you or I opine on this is irrelevant. All that matters (or all that should matter) are the facts and the evidence.
However it seems, for you, evidence doesn't matter because you're going to believe what you've been brought up to believe and what it says in an old story book. Well that's up to you, but if you put those foolish beliefs out there, then expect them to be challenged.
I don't care one way or another about your brother. Free will has consequences. You're not as free as you might think. There are many countries in this world free-er than the USA and yet it's all your keep shouting about. A concept you've been lead to believe is true.

Full name Jessica McClure. This story is one that captured the whole American County and I'm sure more.
Jessica McClure was the toddler that fell down a well back in the 80s I think.
@@Peg__ Yes, I wanted them to go in knowing nothing about it. To get there true reaction.
The extraordinary bravery and skill of the SEALs is truly inspiring. And let's not forget the courage and undying humanity of Jessica Buchanan, an angel who walks among us.
I've seen this video before and it still amazes me how fortunate Jessica was to be rescued. The Navy SEALS are very proficient at the missions they are given. ❤
Damn sight better than Delta Farce!
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
@@B-A-L How so? And why the acrimony?
Jessica says in a different interview that after she was rescued she entered a hostage reintegration program. The first time she saw her husband it was only for five minutes. She also had to work on her confidence and making decisions for herself because the bandits controlled her every move
There's one more amazing thing: the man that she was captured with, Paul Thisted, said "My lucky break was that I was captured with an American". Can't be said any better!
Go look up the British SAS. They have trained the US Marines and done their fair share of rescue missions too.
Why is Millie in the wrong seat again? Great story. U.S. Army vet here and this made me so proud of and for the Navy.
Army Veteran here too. Thank you for your service sir. 🇱🇷
@@TheAddoni Thank you as well sir.
God bless our special forces and all military and first responders.
It just shows the reach of the US military. They are everywhere and anywhere they need to be.
@@cygnusx-3217 The video didn't answer your question?
@@cygnusx-3217 You do know the US military have at least 29 KNOWN bases stationed in Africa in various countries. So all told we have thousands of US troops stationed there all over ready to go at anytime and anywhere they are needed.
@@cygnusx-3217 Stop your nonsense. You have no idea how it works. The US doesn't just go around plopping down bases and say "deal with it" It's a mutual agreement that benefits both nations involved. Let's also not forget the world was perpetually at war prior to the US becoming the sole superpower post WW2.
The world overall is far more prosperous and safer than any time in history due to the alliances and treaties set in place by the US and it's allies. There is a reason we went from 3billion people to almost 9 billion people on earth in the last 40 years.
Has the US government done some shady things...of course, but far less than every other super power prior in history, and the overall goal is one of peace...not domination.
@@cygnusx-3217 Facts are all on my side....prove me wrong?
@@cygnusx-3217 0 as it should be.
SEAL Team 6 was modeled on Delta Force that was in turn modeled on the the 22nd SAS out of the U.K.!😎
Seal team 6 is better than either of those teams.
YAWN
@@MrJonnydanger:"tell me you worship the U.S. Navy without telling me you worship the U.S. Navy!"😂
That's a good example of people in foreign countries thinking Americans are wealthy. Thinking that random people would have $45,000,000 to give them for average people.
No public people will ever know the names of the current Seal Team 6, I don't think they even can say who they are after they are out of the Seals. It's classified information to protect the families of the men in the team. That might be the case for all the seal teams as well.
Yes I think you are right regarding their identities. The only Seals we know are TV/movie seals like Magnum, hawaii 5-0, etc
Except for Joe Biden who divulged that SEAL Team 6 had taken out Ben Laden and also that they were in Afghanistan, two days later 35 members of that Team died after their CH47 was shot down. Of course he wasn’t prosecuted for TREASON.
@CP368: There's plenty of former SEAL Team Six members who've published books & have podcasts on CZcams. The son of retired Navy SEAL Senior Chief Don Shipley, JD Shipley, was a Team Six member & is on several podcasts with other former Navy SEAL's talking about some of their missions.
that's the least we can do for there families. for all the operations they do that we no nothing about and the sacrifices they make for our country we can never repay them. never forget our heroes.
It is crazy. We have money compared to them but it's not quite as much money as some foreigners seem to think. I went on a mission trip to Haiti several years ago and Haitians were constantly trying to scam us by selling us artwork and stuff like that at a really high price. Of course, we couldn't tell them that we'd already paid a lot of money just to come to their country to help them. We saved for about a year to be able to go. It cost half a months salary just to get there.
This is why I’m a proud American. I support my military and the veterans who have served, I have the utmost respect
I've seen this in a documentary. This woman was so brave. So proud of our SEALS. Seal team 6 is secret. Identities are secret.
That scatching noise she heard was the silenced seal weapons . I think its wonderful and somewhat ironic that on that night of the rescue she prayed to her mom to ask God to send help..... And he did, Angels from above in the form of the men from Seal Team 6.
I’m not sure how many people picked up on this but the rescue happened because this kind of thing happens a lot over there.
As soon as she was taken, her personal phone, the same one that the hostage takers tried to call her family on to release her to for money… automatically went into Emergency mode that caused all numbers dialed out to be redirected to a government hostage negotiator.
They were talking to the military, the whole time. It’s also how they ended up locating her, GPS when they turned it on.
Controlling the phone in that way also saved her family from having to negotiate her release for 3 months by themselves.
Seal Team Six went in and scooped her up, quicker than a wire transfer.
They can tell by watching this interview that she’s appreciative of their efforts.
That’s enough for them.
Yeah, I think most of us picked up on that.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
@@internetcensure5849 This coming from you? Hahahahahahahahahaha!
As an American from an Army family this is truly amazing and makes me even prouder to be from the greatest country on earth! I’m also a West Virginian so love the license plate on the wall! ❤
God Bless the Seals and all men and women in every branch of the service.
Any other hostages with her were also rescued. I'm not sure if was just the Danish gentleman or if there were a few others. But Jessica was the main goal for the SEALS.
There was only 1 other hostage with her.
He said in an interview, that he was glad to be taken with an American because he didn't think his country would've tried to rescue him.
@@willracer1jz Wow. That is so sad.
@@Amantim It isn't that they didn't care about him, Denmark simply didn't have the special operations capability like the SEALs.
@@dynamodan8216 oh yes they do...
The navy's Seal Team 6 is a group of supermen. They do things that are amazing. Mission first. The leaders of our country decided we want our people BACK. For once they had a back bone. Jessica is blessed in that she could have died. These pirates are animals! I am so proud of my nation and how they dealt with this problem. I am not celebrating death. But it was once said live by the sword, die by the sword. That applies here! I am so happy she got back home and now has a son. USA.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
SEALs can't talk about their operational missions, of course, but the stuff they describe as to just about the training they went through is mind blowing - the word intense is woefully inadequate
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
The best 5 words you could hear "we're with the American military "
A woman who was rescued from being held by the Rebels/New Government of Grenada said that the 3 best words in the English language isn't: "I love you". But someone shouting; "United States Marines"!
@@cygnusx-3217 Our friends do! (And to Hell with our enemies!!!)
@@cygnusx-3217 The Iraqis being held by ISIS that were rescued by Delta, in which Msgt Joshua Wheeler sacrificed his life, certainly did. GTFOH with your bullshit.
@@cygnusx-3217 who cares?
I've watched this video 4 times and never make it half way through without tears. She and the SEAL team are all heroes.
I forget which famous actor, writer & director said it, but: "We can sleep safe tonight, because our enemies know that we have men who will come at the dead of night and do Violence Upon Them."
It’s attributed to George Orwell. The other version goes “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
@@hisownfool1 Thanks!
Now check out the rescue of Army PFC Jessica Lynch during the beginning of the Iraqi campaign. HOOAH!
@@ynot2385 Uh, no it was not a propaganda story.
@@ynot2385 Some of the story was embellished, but crap happened, we do our job and don't worry about how the defense industrial media machine spins it..... It happened.
De Oppresso Liber... HOOAH!
@@ynot2385 there was a lot of propaganda around her capture, but not the rescue.
lol, That story was highly sensationalized and largely fabricated. It was pure propaganda by the administration.
She was a deserter and didn’t deserve to be rescued.
I went to college with Jess. We weren’t close or anything but I knew enough to know what an incredible woman she is!
As a man that was in The Marines and in The Army, This makes me proud to have served. This is why we do it.
Guys....thanks for loving Seals but We see, those that watch, the bravery of British Teams...Go MY Cousins!
This is the version of the rescue through her eyes, there's another version told by members of Seal team 6 that covers the planning and execution of the mission and when she asked how they got there it was it was a Halo jump from miles away
Yeah they chuted in about 2 miles out and snuck in obviously using their night vision capabilities.
This really shows just how clueless some parts of the world are about America wealth. To think the fact that just anyone can hand out 45 million to get a family member is just ridiculous.
The Navy SEALS are such bad asses. Nameless faces but proud Americans.
Thank you for all of these I so often forget how wonderful my country is, and how wonderful the people are, especially these days. I appreciate the work you do!
I am a US Army Combat Medic Verteran, I spent a tour in Iraq, but when I first joined, I entered Ranger school after my "A" school, I made it about 1/2 way thru and got injured, so I couldnt continue.
As a kid I was always very good at any kind of sport, could run all day, and climb, never had any trouble with any physical activity!!!
Ranger School training is not as difficult as Special Ops/Seal training, and there is NO WAY I would go back to the beginning of Ranger school, hardest thing I ever did!!
The Special Ops community deserve every kind of respect and appreciation I can give!!
Our military heroes are incredible. So very proud to be an American.
Wow! This one made me cry when I heard that those soldiers were risking their own lives to save her and especially after finding her to protect her in the way that they did. Just amazing!
I am a Army Brat and Air Force Security Police Sargeant and I have nothing but the HIGHEST LEVEL OF RESPECT , for all Special Forces of the U.S. Military
In America, the Navy SEALs are the most specialized operative force. Their identities are usually kept secret while they're in the force for the protection of them, and their families.
I was the one who asked for you guys to react to this. youre both such empathetic people. thanks for this.
next up… the think you guys should react to the Pat Tillman story
Hi guys. My understanding is that in the time since, Jessica has done some speeches to help raise awareness and funds for a group that helps with aiding the families of SEALs killed in action. As of a talk she and her husband gave at the National Press Club, Jessica had never met the rescuers or even been told their names. Here is a short clip from a talk she gave at a gathering for the SEAL Foundation as well. czcams.com/video/peYaDqEUnLM/video.html
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
The Navy Seals are stuff of legend.
They do things the average civilian can only do in video games but there is no pause or restart button.
I got a little choked up when they circled her.
And yeah, Tier 1 Special Operations Units aren't there to play Paddy cake. They are going to kill every hostile possible who gets in their way.
I liked this reaction, a lot, so thnx. I've seen 'The Rescue Of Jessica Buchanan' multiple times, and it still gets to me!
It's too bad you saw the shortened version of the story, the full version has more really good 'extra' stuff in it!
Guys, you need to watch the movie “Hacksaw Ridge”, it is a true story of one of Americas greatest Hero’s who never fired a shot in anger.
Their main job is to get her out of there and protect her while doing so. Great job Seals...
The SEAL that carried her ended up being medically retired and has actually done a few interviews as well as written a book (MOB VI). Gives you an idea of the battles our servicemen and women go through on and off the battlefield.
Are you referring to DJ Shipley? He had one of the best interviews on a podcast (Sean Ryan's) I've ever heard. It was so candid.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
@@nutt1674 No, the SEAL involved with the rescue was Justin Sheffield. I believe Justin Sheffield was Blue Squadron, while DJ Shipley was Red Squadron.
My brother during Vietnam war was an interpreter in Germany that decoded Russian information!! To the day he died he could not reveal to anyone what he actually did! The military classifies a lot of information!
God bless your brother and all our military. Vietnam vets hold a special place in my heart. ❤️
For some things our secrecy agreement is 75 years, for other things it is "to the grave."
For the most part, and I dare say this is true for the majority of us, even the 'can be disclosed early' stuff has been moved over to our personal 'to the grave' list because we know that there is the potential that a future operation can be blown & good people die if people are blabbermouths about previous work.
yep. back in the 80's i was working on the minuteman iii missile system. in a strange twist, my mother wound up working in a capacity that had her processing my payroll. one day she'd asked me, "So exactly what is it that you do?"
i simply said, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
she laughed and replied, "No jokes. What do you do?"
she suddenly got very serious and stopped laughing when i stated, "You'll notice I'm not smiling or laughing."
to her last day, she never asked about my work again.
@@JohnLeePettimoreIII wow, that’s interesting. I’ve always admired those with careers where they are sworn to secrecy. That kind of restraint shows true character.
@@JohnLeePettimoreIII Been there good sir.
These days I have two "standard" answers in parties/social gatherings for people that I never expect to meet again.
I first get a read on who is asking and give the answer that seems the most outside of their expertise. For someone else, they might get the other answer.
So far nobody has, to my knowledge, later compared notes and gone to a friend that was the host or hostess of the party with a "hey,... wait a minute."
There is a longer version of this interview that you should check out sometime. You don’t have to react to it again, but there is a lot more detail that you may find interesting!
James and Millie, next time you rent a movie to watch please watch "Lone Survivor" starring Mark Whalberg. It's based off the book of the same name by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell. It's based on the real life events of a Navy SEAL mission in Afghanistan that went horribly wrong! In the opening credits of the movie is real life footage of Navy SEAL training. Very intense! Very good movie!
The guy up against the tree barely breathing is hard to watch, but great movie and book
Operation Red Wings
I’m very proud of our Navy Seals they are an awesome group of men that does their job without hesitation and are not afraid to die for our freedom. God bless you and God bless America
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
As someone that was in the navy 30 years ago, I still feel smaller when I hear the stories of the SEALs. They are courage, strength, and honor !
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
The Dutch hostage was also rescued and said the best thing for him was being kidnapped with an American
Seal team six is the tip of the sword when it comes to seals, they are best of best, they get a lot of the tougher misson, not that any seal mission is easy, but seal team six is the beast
This made me tear up!❤👏👍Bravo Navy seals!!👏❤👍💯 Way to make us proud!!👏✊❤
As great as this is, as an American, I just want to point out that if it weren't for the inspiration of the British SAS we may not have these sorts of forces available to our people such as Jessica Buchanan while in dire need. In particular, their actions during the Iranian Embassy siege became an inspiration for us to improve our already existing special forces capabilities.
Over the last few decades, numerous nations have built up quite capable special forces units that sometimes only differ in the resources available to them for their training. Many of the top tier Special Forces from western nations such as British SAS & SBS, Seal Teams, Delta Force, and others regularly train and operate with one another each year. There exists a worldwide community of operators that is much larger than many realize and CZcams has a deep rabbit hole of content surrounding them. Even modern British special forces may surprise you in what they do.
I've seen former SEALS and Green Berets on CZcams and TV that praise the SAS and other Special Forces and say they'd do a joint mission with them anytime. And probably have.
@T. Dougs Cool historical info. I love quirky historical facts that are not common knowledge, but are the basis for things we sometimes take for granted.
The SAS was the inspiration for our special forces, but it had nothing to do with the Iranian Embassy. It started in WWII, at which time SEALs were simply known as "frogmen". By time of the Iranian Embassy the SEALs had been around almost 40 years and the Green Berets almost 30.
@@kilroy2517 Iranian Embassy siege did in fact play an important role in shaping modern special forces units. Anti-terrorism/hostage rescue and CQB was not a focus of training in US special forces until after the British SAS proved that a kinetic solution to hostage situations could be carried out with minimal casualties. Delta Force wasn't even formed until after Colonel Beckwith saw what the British SAS were doing during training in the 1970s. And then it took several years for Delta Force to build a competent modern special forces unit.
And the Navy Seals certainly did not focus on CQB/hostage rescue until the War on Terror. Hence why Delta Force was tasked with the most important capture/kill missions in the early years of that conflict.
The can NEVER-let the world know their names they can not tell anyone they are the most selfless person ever it is always about who needs them 🙏🏻♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Linda 204....Their names are kept secret to prevent friends of terrorists from retaliating against the families of the Seals!
I am a military wife(retired). I would be very proud to know that my husband would risk his life to save a citizen...any country, who thought that the world had given up on them. America will know their name AND when is the best time to come for them.
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
@@internetcensure5849 and intent trolls like you are cowards.
You cut it off to soon. She and her husband have since had a baby boy and live in Portland.
Always interesting seeing different people react to this story.
Recently I've seen a few channels reacting to this shorter version of the video. It's a shame because the other one (only about a minute or two longer) has some interesting info including the information about the team rescuing the Danish man with her and her new (at the time) baby.
I've seen others do this and they all seem to pick this over the original. They miss out on so much.
There's also a video where she's a guest of honor at a benefit diner for the dependents of fallen (can't remember) SEALS or maybe just all of the US Navy. Her speech was heartfelt and beautiful!
She has written a book about her rescue also.
She (at the time) has 2 kids....
The continuation of the 60 Minutes report mentioned that her fellow aid worker who is from one of the Scandinavian countries I believe, was also rescued. He later said that his luckiest break was that he was taken along with an American!
Her fellow aid worker is a Dutch
"picked me up and ran for several minutes", haha yeah that's SEALS for ya
Her book, Impossible Odds is available in print or audio format. Absolutely amazing story of strength and perseverance from her, the gentleman with whom she was held, and the families who waited for them. 😭
If Milly thinks that she had a bad day think of how Jessica felt, I don't think that they compare. If you want to see something similar check out the story of Jessica Lynch.
Jessica and her unit left from Arifjan. I saw them in the mess hall .. meant nothing at the time .. later thought about that . . she could have been sitting across from me.
If Seal Team 6 is coming to rescue you, then you'll be saved by the best special forces in the world. They don't take prisoners. As a daughter of Navy parents, I'm very proud of our military.
I have a friend who is actively in the Navy and works closely with the seals. They’re not allowed to talk about anything they do. Their family is not even allowed to know. These men are not allowed to be photographed, not allowed to have any tattoos that could be used to identify them. Nothing can be known about them until they’re done with their job.
I have known two navy seals in my life, neither will talk about what they have done beyond generalities of "oh yeah, I heard about that" with a nod. They don't want to be known, and they are very closed mouthed about it. But I will say I learned a hell of a lot from them.
You should look into some of the SAS rescue missions also, cause, damn, I rank them and SEALs as equals.
@@catindigo9907 ehhh, used to be. SAS is nowhere near SEAL level anymore.
I'll take your word for it
@@catindigo9907 the Brits have gotten soft. They’re more worried about offending illegal immigrants than training actual fighting forces
Seal team 6 was the same team that took out bin laden for good. Though probably not the same members as the team rotates but it’s the same team. Navy seals are one of our best military infiltration experts. They are called in to get in and get out and get the mission done quickly and with a time crunch. They are trained for everything from land, sea, and air with all sorts of weather conditions. Basically seals get called in the situation is serious. Army rangers who are the elite of the army are more ground based and are used to pummel enemy positions and fight in close range but also lead troops onto the battlefield as their motto is Rangers lead the way. We also have ghost squads of the absolute best of the military that only answer to the top brass of the military (generals, admirals, and the Air Force higher ups). Their job is to do the mission but leave nothing of their existence and get out without a trace. Hence the ghost moniker. You really don’t know who they are ever as it’s completely classified.
Rangers are Army special forces, but not the most elite the Army has. Green berets are another special forces group within the Army, and CAG (AKA Delta Force) are the best of the best, they even recruit SEALs, Air Force PJ’s and Marine Force Recon. Even though they recruit from other special forces, those people still have to qualify, and not everyone does. Making CAG the only group that even Navy SEALs have failed out of.
@@adammaynard5683 Rangers are NOT Army Special Forces, they are a Army Special OPERATIONS Force. Officially, the only designated Special Forces are Army Green Berets. Not to pick a fight, just saying.
ive heard her story before but it still affects me. the courage & sacrifice of our soldiers always makes me humble & proud at the same time.
I don't know how she's not crying at the end of her story cuz I'm here searching for tissue... God Bless them wherever they are ❤️🤍🙏
The cover of night and element of surprise is the special ops forces best friend, SEAL Team 6 used high tech night vision goggles (Ground Panoramic Night Vision goggles) it gave them a wide 97 degree horizontal field of view that allowed for observation and target identification in absolute darkness. I believe the goggles cost around $40,000
I'm so glad that you have this channel, having a view from two people who talk is much better than one opinion. Also think of the UK SAS/SBS that is the seal teams then think of seal team 6 as the elite of the seal teams. When seal team 6 is sent in it is sending in the Elite of the Elite. Kind of like the special projects tab in the SAS but more hard core.
That makes Delta Force the Elite of the Elite of the Elite, or Elite cubed!
Seals are great to fight ragged armies.🤣
Sometimes, reality is better than fiction. Amazing men that saved this women. She went through a lot though. She is one tough cookie too!!! 93 days? I don't think I would have last a week.
There is a longer version that includes some more details. The Dutch man was also rescued and he said he had the fortune to be taken hostage with an American.
Cheers to the military
In all probability, she will never know their identities.
One wrote a book and 2 others have talked about it in podcasts.
Love the way America takes care of her citizens. Even if it's a single American in trouble the country goes all out to save him or her.. Wow!
Justin Sheffield is one of the Seals (Devgru Blue Squadron) who was on that mission and carried her. He has a book called MOB VI. Highly recommended.
