I’m ex UK parachute regiment, I had the honours of working with the USMC and the rangers. They where every bit as professional as we where. It didn’t take long for the rumours of the US guys being gun hoo to dispel. We had a blast working with these guys and have no hesitation if we where to fight yet another conflict next to these excellent soldiers. Just basically a thanks from a brother across the pond.
@@imbrxds1414 I'm not Airborn qualified but a ton of my brothers are. From what they have told me, there is a shit ton of cardio and more cardio. I can get you in touch with one of my boys for good advice if you'd like. Good luck and God speed brother. I hope you fly through through it ( pardon the pun haha! ).
Its crazy how I'm sitting at home thinking about a fallen green beret operator that I had the privilege to meet and get to know while I was deployed, stumble upon this video and at the end of the video I see his name. RIP SFC Skelt "Tico" Feb 12th 2014. He was defiantly a great man, my mentor and someone I had the honor of saluting when they carried him off the helicopter. RIP to all that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I’m sorry this was just kind of put in your face but I’m happy it brought back good memories for you. My heart breaks when I learn we’ve gained a Winged Warrior bc I never got to tell each of them what they mean, still & always, to my family & I. Sir, I’m not going to thank you for your service: we’d be here until we began to rot. Rather, I apologize that you’re one of the many that literally gave up your life to protect your family, your brothers, our country, most of all- my son. You all have been through too much but you’re so driven I know you wouldn’t take it back & I commend you for that. I’ll never understand what all of our beautiful troops went through but I hope that by relaying my message to you, I can articulate how much you mean to us. Not just as our Guardian Angels but back home in your family life. I hope you’re getting everything you need & deserve & I thank God for you, & every single soldier, that hasn’t claimed their wings & are back home where you’re just as much loved & needed in battle! Thank you, again, for devoting your life to ensure my Killa Cam will see his 11th birthday in September. MEGA TONS of support, love, & good vibes from my family to you & yours! ❤️
These guys are the top. No glamour boys, no Seals propaganda,,,these bad asses get it done. Smart, humble, deadly, and true liberators of the oppressed. Top notch. All Respect to the Green Berets.
+majorsmythe1 The SEALs propaganda is because of the Dept of the Navy. They market the fuck out of the SEALs (Hollywood, book deals by former SEALs, you name it). The USMC are no different.
Naw man, it's some SEALs who can't keep their damn mouths shut and the media. The fleet actually fuckin hates those guys, or at least anyone trying out.
Wrong....only a quarter of the blame rests with NAVSPECWARCOM and Dept of the Navy etc. They get mad all the time for former frogs running at the mouth about specifics etc and TTPs every year...whether it be a book or whatever. I see the argument on both sides, but I prefer how JSOC's Army SOF conduct themselves. Not many books, even less movies, no long OPSEC/PERSEC-breaking interviews on radio/online streams etc. TF Green and ODAs rarely have been the source of scandal....They ARE the ideal quiet professional over just about every other branch's SOF and that's saying something.
So everyone knows, those aren't my words. They came from a documentary I saw a handful of months ago. Probably Restrepo or Korengal. I don't remember which, but the words are true regardless of their origin. There's a host of articles coming out now that say millennials are eager to have someone fight ISIS, or whomever, as long as its not them. IDK what will become of our country in the future, but as long as men and women are willing to suit up and do the hard things, I think we'll be alright.
If it wasn't for the men of some ODA teams in 3rd Group i can assure you i would not be here today! It is because of them...that i can continue to live the life i live....As a support guy who became the most bad ass plumber on the face of this earth i thank you guys and wish you nothing but the best. Ricky Bobby is alive and well!!!!........The lessons i learned about myself and the human spirit on both ends, the relationships i got to build with people because of proximity alone, has made me who i am today........Nomads, Anywhere, Anytime!
Michael Are you still in? Also I see your thumbnail. I remember seeing the plate carrier you guys had back then . I'm still trying to figure out why there were jungle camo plate carriers and not desert camo plate carriers .
It is beyond my comprehension how these men are able to even function in this environment, let alone consistently act with the unbelievable levels of bravery & selflessness.

I struggle every day I lock myself in a room and drink and contemplate suicide most days but the things that keep me alive is my family God and my brothers in arms....God bless you all stay safe Rangers lead the way
These guys are so humble and soft spoken. So different from interviews I've seen with SEALs. Look at how one of them restrained that ANA soldier from prisoner abuse at 27:30. Then 1 min later 28:30 BADASS! Respect.
Lol yeah SEAL guys and the tier 1 guys (from what I heard) along with fighter pilots are a bunch of cocky - type A personalities. I guess it's justified with how hard it is they worked to get where they are, when you are in the club, when you earned it, I guess you can be a little cocky lol
+Hercules Trunt well ya!! because asama bin ladin is the president of the United States. and we are under siege and Marshall law, since 09/01/01, wake up armed forces. how did a cruise missile hit the Pentagon??? the United States military. how did the passenger jets get missiles in the noise??, and field with thermite plasma??? why are the police murdering us for expressing our rights???? or for non capital punishment crimes??????. especially when they have tay tazors ???
I want to say first off I am a grown man and shed tears for these men, and for the lost. They depended on Jesus Christ our father. I want and hope its gods will for me to do the job these men are doing, God bless all of you & the men who are in this video, also the men who are still keeping the foreign people safe. Amen to that prayer it may be a year but God knows everyone's heart. Thank you for sharing.
They grow beards not to assimilate but to look regular. They don't wear uniforms on regular bases. They don't want to be known as special forces. That's why they don't have on current uniform patterns.
I was in the army in 60's - 70's, thought about trying out for green berets, but chickened out, just didn't think I could make it. Now I will always wonder.
The saying goes, if you think you will fail, you already failed. You have to have the mentality that you will go to the ends of the Earth to reach that goal.
I always wanted to, but guys who were way cooler, way more switched on and way more tough and smarter than me kept coming back failed.....it kinda put me off lol
I had a Green Beret as a Deputy Division Commander. He was a stellar Commanding Officer, makes me almost wish I had gone in the Army instead of the Marine Corps. The biggest difference for me was he was a stickler for ROEs.
That last prayer gave me chill .. so professional and most honest prayer I have ever heard...they ask God if they every put on line of someone live they ask God to help them do in code...absolute stunning...
I spent a year in Kapisa Province back in 07-08 and ran missions with the SF guys out of FOB Morales Frazier. The hottest area in the province back then was Tagab Valley, even the kids gave you the death stare
The amount of respect I have for these guys is indescribable. I will always remember the sacrifice men like these make for me , my family, and our country on the daily
Dont listen to the Trump idiot, he is the exact problem my countrymen are facing at this time. Ignorance and stupidity. The PEOPLE of America have much respect for the PEOPLE of Russia.
This is one American Citizen who HAS kept tabs on your 13 years in Afghanistan. I am damn proud of everything you have done, all you have given and all you have sacrificed along the way. I have a best friend from High School who served as an officer with an ODA, and I am humbled by his experiences. It is an honor to know him and have his friendship. Few people understand what "brotherhood" means (across many service domains), and how difficult it is to leave behind and find commonality with those in a society that is essentially self-serving. If I ever get a chance to pass any of you on the sidewalk I will shake your hand with a grateful heart. God bless you all.
We must respect those great humans that devote their life to serve their country. Instead of enjoying partys and civilian life pleasures, decide to to and train beyond human limits. Seals, Green berets, Rangers..... all of them, God bless them all.
This was the best inside look into the green berets. What SFC haddock said at 36 minute mark is spot on. I've never been able to explain it but he summed it up perfect.
just want to take a moment to thank the Green Beret soldiers on this video and fallen brothers taking the fight to them. may God bless you and your families
Had the honor and privilege to support the Tribe on my last deployment before retiring. Coming from the Navy, I didn't know what to expect. The SF were the most hard core professionals I have lived and worked with. RIP MSG George Bannar.
I read these comments, 90% of you never served, yet experts. Comparing Marine Raiders, SF, Rangers. Yet have zero experience or balls. Bunch of whiny millennials arguing over petty things. Grow up boys. Put down the video games. - 0311, Bravo 1/3, 31st MEU 96-00. God bless the heroes who actually man up and protect you kids
Marc Scribner no kidding. I haven't served, but a lot of these comments are ridiculous. "Nayvee Seulz r bettur! Hurr durr!" This coming from a kid who still shits his pants.
I worked with a SFGB in Somalia, appreciate many years ago. He was a great guy very professional, and willingness to learn new things. I did not give him, the respect he deserved. For that I apologise, my mind was on my job which was very hectic. If any one knows this GB, then please pass on my deepest respect. I was running, a demising project throughout the whole of Somalia. He was the only GB, working with me, and doing this task. Would love to see or hear from him again. 🇬🇧🧑🏻🎨
One thing I think most will agree with is that within SOCOM, the Green Berets have the most combat experience out of all of the SOF units in the SF community. They always have.
They both have been nonstop, 75th with more, but shorter deployments, and SF with annual 6-10 month deployments. There are multiple Bns at group that have deployed every single year since GWOT kicked off. That being said, the Rangers do have the luxury of living on the FOB and letting their guard down at night, that's not afforded to GBs at a VSP.
The way MSGT Scott was talking...I could feel the emotional weight from everything him and his team have been through. I pray they are all well to this day. DOL
I'm an ole CAG guy started out with 75th Ranger Regiment, 5th Group then CAG. You men of 3rd Group did a fantastic job over there. De Oppresso Liber my brothers!!!!
They're all child rapists! Everyone knows about the ANAs parties where they dress little boys up as girls and pass them around raping them, but the command ignores it.
Most folks will never understand the intensity of the relationships that are built in battle, or the lost feeling you have when your thrust back into society. At the end when its time to leave everything you know behind and you look back at all the obstetrical you have had to over come just to get you to this point in life you hope to God that all your efforts and the efforts of the brothers that are no longer here were not in vain. GB all the women and men that fight the fight i thank you for all you do and deeply appreciate it.
Reading through the comments I have come to the conclusion that the military is like fantasy football. Everyone on the outside knows they have it all figured out when they really have the slightest clue.
These men really make me proud to be an American.like the other commentor said..no glamour,just professional, candid operators.no bullshit.for what its worth,wish I could have served with the green berets.
I have respect for Green Beret's, they trained tribesmen in Vietnam and were a serious thorn in the V.C.s side, they're still a mixture of brains and outstanding soldiering, a rare combination!
With all sincerity, I thank you all for your service and sacrifice. Thank you for making this video and for sharing your feelings and experiences. I am sorry for your losses. God Bless you guys!
Did training with these guys at Bliss in 2011. Never met a more professional group of men, also our platoon totally redid our TACSOP with everything we learned from them.
Very, very well done. I saw this video many months ago. Then the person that posted it went private with it after a couple of days. Really glad to see its back out there. This is why USSF is so important.
Ah young warriors, it's good to see the rivalries still exist and are alive and well. But you gotta play by the rules. 1. To get in the club and have the right to talk shit, you have to have earned your SF or Ranger tab, trident, or whatever insignia designates you as a SOF warrior. 2. To have the right to really talk shit, you also have to have combat time. Now you're in the inner circle. But you still have to do it right. a. There must be beer in sufficient quantities available to quench the firey thirsts caused by talkin' shit. b. You must wear a helmet and combat boots, 'cause flying shit can be hazardous. c. Every story must be proceeded with, "This is no shit". If you don't meet at least criterion 1, then you ain't in the club and have no right to talk shit. Now, since I do meet criteria 1 and 2 and am older than snot, I also qualify for the old fart warrior dispensation regarding rules a through c, so...This is no shit. A Marine Corps first sergeant and a Special Forces Team Sergeant were having drinks in the NCO club and discussing in detail the relative strengths and weakenesses of their respective services. To end the discussion, the Marine said to the SFer, "Watch this." He turned to a table full of young Marine sergeants and yelled, "Jones, come here!" A large and sturdy example of Marine Corps junior NCOs jumped up, ran over to the first sergeant, snapped to attention and yelled, "Yes first sergeant!" The first sergeant pointed to the wall of the club and said, "Get through that wall!" The young man, lowered his head and butted the wall until he broke a hole through it and collapsed on the other side, mission accomplished. "Very impressive", commented the team sergeant. He, then, called over to a table where his team was drinking beer, "Hey Smitty, come here a minute, will you." A young, wirey SF sergeant walked over and asked, "What's up top?" The team sergeant replied, "Get through that wall, OK." With that, Smitty walked over to the door, opened it and walked through. He then walked back and asked, "Is that all you need?"
Ed Tolliver the Ranger tab has nothing to do with special operations. Maybe you meant the 75th Ranger Regiment's scroll since the 75th is one component of Army special operations along with the Green Berets, Civil Affairs, and PsyOps. Ranger school is a leadership course. To get into the Ranger Regiment, you have to get selected after completing the 8 weeks of RASP.
Ed Tolliver that was funny but I think the two guys used in the joke should be the Marine corps first sergeant and a SEAL chief, because usually I here of comparisons between the Navy and the Marines with the Navy SEALs being the more intelligent ones. Regardless, good joke!
Army Green Berets are the quiet few, we never quit.....Navy Seals are loud and proud, they love recognition...we Green Berets love each other (fucking team work).....we all have our specialty.....DE OPPRESSO LIBER....(18Bravo)
I'm only half way through watching this, but so far this is an awesome video. I don't care what all the youtube comments say, these guys are what makes SF so good.
It’s like Navy seals are masters of the operation and Green Berets are the commanders of the battlefield. I can see each of these green berets being a field commander, creating long term rapport with locals, building a security force and stabilizing a region.
Oliver Allen, very well said. Our soldiers are at war, and America is having a coffee. It's just not right. God bless all of our soldiers, and keep you safe. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks a lot for the candid views. I wish more people knew of the changes that have occurred due to ISAF operations. It just blows me away that more is not made of the progress of the ANA and other branches have made by the different politicians that visited. Just weird given the effort and sacrifices made.
I was deployed in kapisa my last deployment and this was a nightmare as it where i lost one one of my best buds rip sgt shawn farrell 1-32 climb to glory 10th mnt sgt c out
Ranger school and Ranger Battallion are 2 different things.Ranger school is a great leadership school,It's open to all branches of the military,so navy seals,marines,airforce,coastguard,all attend if they want.Ranger school is also open too different countries,when I was IN Ranger school back in the 80's we had 2 US Marines and Soilders from south and central America.You can be a cook ,mechanic,supply guy in the army and attend ranger school,but It's mostly open too combat MOS's meaning JOBS for you civilans.When you and if you graduate from ranger school,you get to wear a tab yellow and black that reads ranger,then after ranger school you go back to you'r regular unit,like being a cook mechanic etc.Completion from ranger school does not mean you are a ranger,It just means that you went to ranger school and that happens too be the name of the school.Ranger Battalion means you are a ranger and you wear a ranger scroll red black white with unit ID and you also wear a ranger tab if you have already been too ranger school.Their are Rangers in ranger units that have never been too ranger school,but once you reach the rank of E-4 they really start pushing you too go too ranger school because It's a great leadership school and you may not get promoted without it.When I was in the Army we Ranger wore the black beret,but since the army issued everyone a black beret a few years back Rangers went with the tan beret now.Rangers Tan,Airborne Units Maroon,and Special Forces Green beret.

I get it.
Everyone that fights for "U.S.A" is badass.👊
Brent0285 oh yeah yeah
Rambo,
25:20 amazing. Failure is like a foreign word to him. Struggled to even say it Def. Not a word he uses much. So much respect god bless all our troops.
Wow, I'm speechless. Very well made, thank you for sharing.
I was a Marine in KES, Afghanistan, stay strong after the fight brothers. The war never stops.
Amen
That last prayer gave me chill .. so professional and most honest prayer I have ever heard...they ask God if they every put on line of someone live they ask God to help them do in code...absolute stunning...
I spent a year in Kapisa Province back in 07-08 and ran missions with the SF guys out of FOB Morales Frazier. The hottest area in the province back then was Tagab Valley, even the kids gave you the death stare
The amount of respect I have for these guys is indescribable. I will always remember the sacrifice men like these make for me , my family, and our country on the daily
Salute to all US special Forces. Please appreciate my "Thank You" for your service.
Im the soldier too here in philippines.
2lt. Overtough.
Respect to USASF from Russia.

@Legendary Trump fuck you,little bitch boy
Respect Sergei
Dont listen to the Trump idiot, he is the exact problem my countrymen are facing at this time. Ignorance and stupidity.
The PEOPLE of America have much respect for the PEOPLE of Russia.
I m playing Airsoft as Green Beret in Russia! :) And I respect that People.

This is one American Citizen who HAS kept tabs on your 13 years in Afghanistan. I am damn proud of everything you have done, all you have given and all you have sacrificed along the way. I have a best friend from High School who served as an officer with an ODA, and I am humbled by his experiences. It is an honor to know him and have his friendship. Few people understand what "brotherhood" means (across many service domains), and how difficult it is to leave behind and find commonality with those in a society that is essentially self-serving. If I ever get a chance to pass any of you on the sidewalk I will shake your hand with a grateful heart. God bless you all.
Get out of brotherhood man

These are the most badasses/dangerous soldiers in the military. I salute you all and thank you for all your sacrifices.

Thanks again My Brother's in Arms for of course having my back when certain people didn't, for another great video, Blessings to you all.
I like their motto the most: "De Oppresso Liber," Latin for "To Free the Oppressed."
+Super Hooah Grunt You never translate in a literal way. it doesn't always make sense.
We must respect those great humans that devote their life to serve their country. Instead of enjoying partys and civilian life pleasures, decide to to and train beyond human limits. Seals, Green berets, Rangers..... all of them, God bless them all.
This was the best inside look into the green berets. What SFC haddock said at 36 minute mark is spot on. I've never been able to explain it but he summed it up perfect.
just want to take a moment to thank the Green Beret soldiers on this video and fallen brothers taking the fight to them. may God bless you and your families
Me too boss
I used to play baseball with Nick Robertson in grade school, he was a good guy. RIP old friend.
Had the honor and privilege to support the Tribe on my last deployment before retiring. Coming from the Navy, I didn't know what to expect. The SF were the most hard core professionals I have lived and worked with. RIP MSG George Bannar.
I read these comments, 90% of you never served, yet experts. Comparing Marine Raiders, SF, Rangers. Yet have zero experience or balls. Bunch of whiny millennials arguing over petty things. Grow up boys. Put down the video games. - 0311, Bravo 1/3, 31st MEU 96-00. God bless the heroes who actually man up and protect you kids
Marc Scribner no kidding. I haven't served, but a lot of these comments are ridiculous. "Nayvee Seulz r bettur! Hurr durr!" This coming from a kid who still shits his pants.
Marc Scribner BHR, dope.
Thank you, lol someone needed to say this.
Ok
Marc Scribner Couldn't have called it any better than that! Agree 100 percent brother!
I worked with a SFGB in Somalia, appreciate many years ago. He was a great guy very professional, and willingness to learn new things. I did not give him, the respect he deserved. For that I apologise, my mind was on my job which was very hectic. If any one knows this GB, then please pass on my deepest respect. I was running, a demising project throughout the whole of Somalia. He was the only GB, working with me, and doing this task. Would love to see or hear from him again. 🇬🇧🧑🏻🎨
One thing I think most will agree with is that within SOCOM, the Green Berets have the most combat experience out of all of the SOF units in the SF community. They always have.
Absolutely. And among the most intelligent.
75th ranger regiment has the most deployments. I think each battalion is on or around their 17/18 deployment
They both have been nonstop, 75th with more, but shorter deployments, and SF with annual 6-10 month deployments. There are multiple Bns at group that have deployed every single year since GWOT kicked off. That being said, the Rangers do have the luxury of living on the FOB and letting their guard down at night, that's not afforded to GBs at a VSP.
Agreed man not trying to say one is better. Rangers and green berets are a kick ass unit that will constantly deploy until the end
Jack Colby The 75th only runs on three month deployments.
The way MSGT Scott was talking...I could feel the emotional weight from everything him and his team have been through. I pray they are all well to this day. DOL
from Philippines here! . im proud of you U.S soldiers :)
I'm part phillipino
hope we serve with your brothers & your country as well...
Thank you buddy for not being that fucking ass whole that goes onto videos like these just to show how much "better" their country is
+I AM WEASEL Hoooah!

I'm an ole CAG guy started out with 75th Ranger Regiment, 5th Group then CAG. You men of 3rd Group did a fantastic job over there. De Oppresso Liber my brothers!!!!
A D boy in the house
Thank you for your service
He was going to break that man's face in 27:31
ikr!
Jason Bradley it just goes to show how professional green berets are stopping him from doing it
I missed that the first time, God damn he was about to drill that guy.
Jason Bradley
Yeah I caught that . Wonder why.
Did he rush ahead of him and he not like that lol
he was a bad guy, you see how his hands were cuffed
Genuinely I do not know what is worse. Fighting the Taliban or working alongside the Afghan National Forces.
These ANA are good. They are Commandoes
@@mgway4661 but they employ spies for the Taliban
They're all child rapists!
Everyone knows about the ANAs parties where they dress little boys up as girls and pass them around raping them, but the command ignores it.
psygn0sis chai boys ☕️ smh
Jimmy the Saint I rather fight Taliban I lost more buddies working with Afghan forces
I worked with three ODA teams in Iraq as a translator , its the best thing I've ever did in my life
Helping america destroy you're country? An interesting thing for someone to be proud of
@@mrhood8073 implying that the Iranians aren't doing the same thing to iraq and Syria
@@vurkzy8432 they are not. Syria invited Iran in and same with Iraq. Americans came uninvited to both countries.
همسنگرهایم هرجایی باشین جور صحتمند باشین پشتی این روزها خیلی دلم تنگ شده ❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢
I'm a simple boot. I see Green Beret. I click.
Thank you for this video. It gave me more faith than I had previously in Afghanistan and Iraq. The area I was in back in Iraq has fallen apart...
That first entry at 2:40 was beautiful. Smooth.
That's awesome! These military action heroes were really look like real-life LVN Action Heroes!
Most folks will never understand the intensity of the relationships that are built in battle, or the lost feeling you have when your thrust back into society. At the end when its time to leave everything you know behind and you look back at all the obstetrical you have had to over come just to get you to this point in life you hope to God that all your efforts and the efforts of the brothers that are no longer here were not in vain. GB all the women and men that fight the fight i thank you for all you do and deeply appreciate it.
It must be stressful not knowing where the enemy is and not accidentally shooting an ally.
Reading through the comments I have come to the conclusion that the military is like fantasy football. Everyone on the outside knows they have it all figured out when they really have the slightest clue.
Rgr,lmao these comments are funny as hell everybody's got the secret sauce on here..ps also got my bluecord
Even u 2 fools
Most excellent video. Best doc of SF and their mission goals. Thanks so much!
Hands down to GREEN BERETS. They are finest fighters. Each one of the green berets are a great leader.
No chest pumping! No loud mouth battle cries! Professional, humble lads 👍 good too see.
A proper soldiering mate, definition of what true professionals are.
These men really make me proud to be an American.like the other commentor said..no glamour,just professional, candid operators.no bullshit.for what its worth,wish I could have served with the green berets.
I have respect for Green Beret's, they trained tribesmen in Vietnam and were a serious thorn in the V.C.s side, they're still a mixture of brains and outstanding soldiering, a rare combination!
+jelkel25 them tribesmen were my uncles and granfather. Hooah!
With all sincerity, I thank you all for your service and sacrifice. Thank you for making this video and for sharing your feelings and experiences. I am sorry for your losses. God Bless you guys!
MSG Scott is pretty hardcore in my book. He did the whole interview without spitting. Chewers will know what I mean. lol
He learned from the best LOL. I remember when he was a brand new private. Fuck, I'm getting old.
It's funny that you mentioned that. I was going to text him and say "I just saw a video on youtube and you had a dip in the whole time."
Dip strong
Did training with these guys at Bliss in 2011. Never met a more professional group of men, also our platoon totally redid our TACSOP with everything we learned from them.
Nothing but total respect and love for you guys...
Very, very well done. I saw this video many months ago. Then the person that posted it went private with it after a couple of days. Really glad to see its back out there. This is why USSF is so important.
"wars comes and goes but the soldiers stay eternal."
This brings backs a lot of memories. I was with several ODAs when a CCT wasn’t available.
Great documentary!!! Awesome. Got my heart going a few times..... One of the best I've seen. 🤙🇺🇲💪✊
27:29 we was gonna knock him out with that M240B
Ah young warriors, it's good to see the rivalries still exist and are alive and well. But you gotta play by the rules.
1. To get in the club and have the right to talk shit, you have to have earned your SF or Ranger tab, trident, or whatever insignia designates you as a SOF warrior.
2. To have the right to really talk shit, you also have to have combat time. Now you're in the inner circle.
But you still have to do it right.
a. There must be beer in sufficient quantities available to quench the firey thirsts caused by talkin' shit.
b. You must wear a helmet and combat boots, 'cause flying shit can be hazardous.
c. Every story must be proceeded with, "This is no shit".
If you don't meet at least criterion 1, then you ain't in the club and have no right to talk shit.
Now, since I do meet criteria 1 and 2 and am older than snot, I also qualify for the old fart warrior dispensation regarding rules a through c, so...This is no shit.
A Marine Corps first sergeant and a Special Forces Team Sergeant were having drinks in the NCO club and discussing in detail the relative strengths and weakenesses of their respective services.
To end the discussion, the Marine said to the SFer, "Watch this."
He turned to a table full of young Marine sergeants and yelled, "Jones, come here!"
A large and sturdy example of Marine Corps junior NCOs jumped up, ran over to the first sergeant, snapped to attention and yelled, "Yes first sergeant!"
The first sergeant pointed to the wall of the club and said, "Get through that wall!"
The young man, lowered his head and butted the wall until he broke a hole through it and collapsed on the other side, mission accomplished.
"Very impressive", commented the team sergeant. He, then, called over to a table where his team was drinking beer, "Hey Smitty, come here a minute, will you."
A young, wirey SF sergeant walked over and asked, "What's up top?"
The team sergeant replied, "Get through that wall, OK."
With that, Smitty walked over to the door, opened it and walked through. He then walked back and asked, "Is that all you need?"
lol no body cares
Ed Tolliver the Ranger tab has nothing to do with special operations. Maybe you meant the 75th Ranger Regiment's scroll since the 75th is one component of Army special operations along with the Green Berets, Civil Affairs, and PsyOps. Ranger school is a leadership course. To get into the Ranger Regiment, you have to get selected after completing the 8 weeks of RASP.
👏👏👏
Ed Tolliver that was funny but I think the two guys used in the joke should be the Marine corps first sergeant and a SEAL chief, because usually I here of comparisons between the Navy and the Marines with the Navy SEALs being the more intelligent ones. Regardless, good joke!
😂😂😂👍
R.I.P. Thankyou for your service - the ultimate sacrifice, may God be with you always through our lord Jesus Christ AMEN.
Army Green Berets are the quiet few, we never quit.....Navy Seals are loud and proud, they love recognition...we Green Berets love each other (fucking team work).....we all have our specialty.....DE OPPRESSO LIBER....(18Bravo)
I'm only half way through watching this, but so far this is an awesome video. I don't care what all the youtube comments say, these guys are what makes SF so good.
SF guys are sigilous. And hate anyone out off of Duty
When I first joined in 00' , most high ranking NCOs in SF were "older".
I got to work with them quite a bit.
12-B SAPPER
It’s like Navy seals are masters of the operation and Green Berets are the commanders of the battlefield. I can see each of these green berets being a field commander, creating long term rapport with locals, building a security force and stabilizing a region.
I had the honor to serve with the 5th group. Thank you for that honor!
I salute you, brothers. From Russia with love, (Airborne, 345 Separate Parachute Regiment, Afghanistan, Soviet Army).
Get gone you commie fuck
27:30 🤣😂🤣😂 he was ready to bust his head wide open.
I have seen these guys train a bit and they are like super humans. Unbelievable how they adapt and overcome any challenge.
My son....Green Beret....5th group....20 years....
Good video. I wish all the best for these guys and a smooth transition when the time comes.
Oliver Allen, very well said. Our soldiers are at war, and America is having a coffee. It's just not right. God bless all of our soldiers, and keep you safe. THANK YOU!!!
Even if it doesn't seem right, these Men are all volunteers which makes this country great. America doesn't need to force anyone to fight
thank u who ever said blessing for us all
Greatest Soldiers in the world, bar none. Thank you for what you do and what you are...
they are all fighting for the same reason FREEDOM THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
IKDDMYLOVES loves how did our freedom end up over there?
brainwashed its all about money not freedom
This is one of the better videos I’ve seen!
We thank you for your service and peace to the fallen.
Thanks a lot for the candid views. I wish more people knew of the changes that have occurred due to ISAF operations. It just blows me away that more is not made of the progress of the ANA and other branches have made by the different politicians that visited. Just weird given the effort and sacrifices made.
SEE THAT MAN WITH THE GREEN BERET ! TEACHINGS HOW HE EARNS HIS PAY ! HE IS THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE ! SPECIAL FORCES INFANTRY !
lots of respect to us military from vietnam,
Their expertise and humility makes them a cut apart and above.
God bless you all .I pray you all made it home safely. OH and by the way your my Hero's.
32:38 One of the most beautiful strings I have ever heard

11b chosin1company32 sorry for your loss RIP Shawn.
almost a decade later and i still revisit this video.
Thank you sir! God bless all of you!
Had a school mate make it home to become a statistic. You are missed MSgt Tim Hankins.
Ranger school and Ranger Battallion are 2 different things.Ranger school is a great leadership school,It's open to all branches of the military,so navy seals,marines,airforce,coastguard,all attend if they want.Ranger school is also open too different countries,when I was IN Ranger school back in the 80's we had 2 US Marines and Soilders from south and central America.You can be a cook ,mechanic,supply guy in the army and attend ranger school,but It's mostly open too combat MOS's meaning JOBS for you civilans.When you and if you graduate from ranger school,you get to wear a tab yellow and black that reads ranger,then after ranger school you go back to you'r regular unit,like being a cook mechanic etc.Completion from ranger school does not mean you are a ranger,It just means that you went to ranger school and that happens too be the name of the school.Ranger Battalion means you are a ranger and you wear a ranger scroll red black white with unit ID and you also wear a ranger tab if you have already been too ranger school.Their are Rangers in ranger units that have never been too ranger school,but once you reach the rank of E-4 they really start pushing you too go too ranger school because It's a great leadership school and you may not get promoted without it.When I was in the Army we Ranger wore the black beret,but since the army issued everyone a black beret a few years back Rangers went with the tan beret now.Rangers Tan,Airborne Units Maroon,and Special Forces Green beret.
damn you sound like an officer hahaha which is trash
Sua sponte
That officer speech lmao
I'll Always Love me Neal Patrick Fry 😊
The respect I have for these men are indescribable. All military branches have it.
