I do not know from which country you reside and respond from… But if it's in the United States or the UK, you need to rethink your position… The very fact you can make such a statement is because brave men like this fight and die to keep those rights!
And if you have immigrated to the United States or to the UK, that makes your comment even more appalling…
So, here's an idea, if you think that you live with a bunch of war criminals… How about you move to the middle east or the other parts of the world where you don't have protected rights... pretty sure your "opinion" would change pretty damn quick… Be aware that family members of these brave soldiers probably read the comments and if you have an ounce, an ounce, of humanity in you… Knock it off!
From, a proud American! Thank you United States military servicemen and women and To All of our Allies… We are indeed, indebted to you.
@@andreagabel5589 may ALLAAH guide you. You're narrow thinker.
But to be nice I did erase it for the sake of humanity that you claim that I lack.
Start educating yourself. The world is not a recknick town. People can read it's legal now. And I live in Africa.
@@okashgagaale3650 Thank you for erasing it..I'm not so "redneck" that I can't see goodness in SOMEONE who may think differently than I, when they actually exhibit kindness, as You have by erasing that… Trust me, I have educated myself and I think there are many Muslims who are very kind and decent people… But, like the redneck you claim I am, there are extremists at every level and in every society and in EVERY religion that claims to be doing work for ALLAAH and GOD.
Extremism Seems to be more prevalent in the societies that are most desperate… That doesn't mean that Those that are truly evil in that society don't need to be removed… I suppose you could say the definition of "evil" is subjective… But I think you would have to agree when innocent women and children and unarmed men are TORTURED and butchered, That those of us who live in a civilized society should NOT let that go on… Just saying… I also agree that if homes are destroyed in the process, we should do everything to restore it and I think the fact that we have been in the Middle East for a long time rebuilding schools and homes should speak for something… Perhaps you could broaden your thinking a little also...I am quite sure we have far more in common, than disparity.
If we were to live in the same community and not be a faceless person on a post, we would, no doubt be able to live peaceably and speak kindly to each other…Please note: I use my real name, do you? Quite possibly…
Go forth and do good… I will try and do the same AND keep your comments in mind😊
Grenade boom
Not wanting to be forced to buy oil in dollars ans not accepting the central bank doesn't make saddam evil lol
“Grenades in the courtyard, grenades in rooms. They had lost a couple guys. They were pissed. It didn’t matter who you were, you’re dyin.” Idk why but that sounded so bad ass to me lol.
I was just picturing innocents being blown up by grenades. Every room right? War is so casual
Bad ass? What if a kid was in one of those rooms? I guess they didn't care though. They aren't the ones that tell the enemy to hide behind civilians
@@tonyweaver2353 I guess I was thinking of it as just the bad guys there but I see your point.
Because it was lol
@@tonyweaver2353 if either one of you cucks would bother to watch the whole interview you will learn this house was packed to the brim with grown fighting age foreign national men who were suited up in track jumpers with some food, water, sleeping bags, and tons of ammo and ordinance specifically meant for killing American and British soliders. Call it whatever you want but these guys took hell from inside that house and gave hell right back to it.
Sas: *loses a couple of people*
Also Sas: "yall done fucked up"
Merica: Comes close to losing a person.
"Fire at will"
Oops, forgot this 🇺🇸
I think the locals said that to the SAS guys when they clapped the few of them before they managed to breach the gate.
Come down mr useless
@@PeniTuimasi-gk7sithe British are far from useless wym ?
Middle East: *has oil*
United States: you know you f*cked up, right?
This raid was described in detail from the British perspective in Mark Urban's book Task Force Black, pretty gnarly stuff.
Is it the one on task force black?
Name of book please?

The Shawn Ryan show is seriously one of the best podcasts ever. Keep this shit coming and I will listen to all of them.
Except for the crazy guy that transitioned to a women & back while supposedly designing so much of the tech they used to sneak around in that era, supposedly.
@@TB-zf7we care for a name snitch (last name.will do)
@@TB-zf7we 13 deployments could do that to a man. With the amount of names he dropped in the interview, you'd expect one of them to call him out on his inventions if they truly are bullshit but nobody has 🤷🏻♂️ He even named Goggins.
@@GreyCerberushe only name dropped soldiers that had been in the spotlight, even if he were telling the truth he was still on the side of the government and was able to justify anything the alphabet agencies did, that tranny is nothing more than fed plant and so many of you are eating up the sh!t he dumping into your mouthes
SAS literally live and breathe "F around and find out" and I love every story where they go off the chain
At the end of the embassy siege you can see an sas operator drag a terrorist back into the embassy on live TV. It's suspected this was to execute him inside but because of the TV crew who seen it he was told to bring him back out 😂 (supposedly)
An SBS guy died in this raid, his name was Ian Plank and he was with A Sqdn SAS
🇬🇧🫡
“An SBS guy died… he was A Sqdn SAS” 🤔
@@kjb6637 augmented
@@kjb6637 he was SBS but assigned to work along side the SAS. Happened both in Iraq and Afghanistan whereby SAS and SBS were assigned with each other etc.
@@kjb6637 you dummy
that last bit where he was like "they were pissed, they lost some mates.... doesn't matter who you are(everyone's gotta die) you're dying" is that seeing red n no one is safe anymore.
Cousin was a marine. Fought alongside a lot of these guys during Phantom Fury and told me the same thing. Those SAS dudes were badass. They believe they are so good at what they do; if they take casualties (not even KIAs) they will burn down everything to get to the guys who shot their teammates and take them out. He said they are absolutely ruthless motherfuckers. Not at all reckless, just ruthless, take no prisoners style combat.
Yep...
Better safe than sorry in that situation. Especially after two KIA's.
Yes sir it is
I had the pleasure of pulling security (.50cal) down the alley for the Brit’s after they lost Ian Plank. Operation Abalone. Looking for a one legged fat-man with a beard. Found 19.
You guys found 19 one legged fat men with beards?!😉 That's thorough!! 😂
Many thanks ❤🙏🏻🍻
@@nolareefman934 Sadam scattered mines everywhere during desert storm. Many people were killed and wounded because of all the unexploded ordinance left behind. Land mines don’t discriminate.
@@chrisstoops5458 haha that's awesome. Lots of kids and women and goats too I presume?
@@chrisstoops5458 Why were we there? Do you remember?
This guy was awesome. Amazing job Shawn🔥
Everytime I hear another nation's military talking about the SAS, my heart swells with pride. Gawd bless 'em. 🇬🇧🙏
May the good Lord bless Delta and the SAS
Great to see Sandman and Captain Price going at it together🇺🇸🇬🇧
Much respect to the Brits and their SAS. Badass guys
Wow, during Halloween night in '03 I was making poor decisions with a fat girl and Jagermeister, and this guy was saving the world.
Really puts things into perspective 😐
You and me both my friend
@@jonnyw82 this was partially a joke, but it really does make me reflect on my life hearing these guys speak.
Not regret or anything like that, just general introspection.
A sense of ennui, I suppose.
Anyway, cheers brother.
Saving the world……?
Saving the world from the Iraqis...people are getting dumber by the second. Read a fucking book
How fat was her?
I am always in AWE watching your show Shawn. My dad (WW2 paratrooper) never spoke of the war. His three brothers went as well. One didnt come home. Its bone chilling what you guys go through. Freedom isnt free. Thank you for sharing these amazing mens stories.💜🇺🇸💜
Save the U.S freedom shit, you people never even fought in the war until you people were attacked, after much of the fighting had already taken place. It was the British CM who had most of the troops on Dday when you did come to aid freedom who others were fighting for, not the U.S being the British.
SAS is truly one of my favorite group tier 1 badasses!
The originals are always the best haha
@@inquisitorsneed2 I'm an American and I'll say the SAS are better than the SEALS
The SAS are the ONLY tier 1 operators.
The rest are wannabes.
@@inquisitorsneed2a car from the 1950s isn’t going to be better than a Tesla, simply because it’s older. Tactics and training are way different than the 1980s. US tier 1 units have superior funding, resources and training. We also spend more on each operator training wise than any other country in the world. Also worth mentioning that many British commanders have admitted to US tier 1 SOF are at the top of the game. Much love from 🇺🇸🙏💪
@@dcmastermindfirst9418that’s simply false
This dude looks like he leads his kids PTA committee with a salmon colored sweatshirt tied around his neck… and he’s stacked more bodies than influenza! 🧐😳😮🤯
SAS soldiers are like old-school Nokia phones. They’re not impossible to kill, but…
Hell yeah go Britts and I’m American
"Doesn't matter who you are. You're dying."
It goes both ways. Right and wrong side of the law. Just choose the right side and you’re golden
All bets are off, this ends one way and one way only. Type of mindset. Awesome.
"Doesn't matter who you are, you're dying". Lol, that's how the SAS roll baby 😅
Lol super funny when you find out they murdered children and babies doing that.
@johnlocke_1 "murdering children and babies". Can't believe you find that funny. Shame on you 😕
@scotmac5143 that's the implication of your comment, kid.
Shame on you.
@@johnlocke_1good I would join in too 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 rule Britannia
RIP to fallen brothers 🙏🇬🇧
They got it deservedly just like all Americowards. NATO is gonna get fucked by Russia very soon and I can't wait to watch lol
Halloween night 03’ I was dressed up as harry potter and eating candy lol
😂 fuck
Lmao, me to dog, me too!!!
I was probably wolverine and in kindergarten.
I think i was Qui-Gon Jinn
Were the Vigilance Elite gummy bears?
"because that's what we do" god that's badass
22SAS, Doesn't matter who you are you're dying!
I'd expect nothing less😅👍👍
Most SAS troopers in the early GWOT years didn’t have helmet mounted NVGs and a lot of other mission critical kit. It would be almost 8 years before White Hall would flow the proper gear to the SAS and get them at the level they needed to be in the massive operational tempo waged by JSOC.. The reason this was a big deal because It was a huge safety risk to have some operators on white light and other operators on NVGs. Delta Force was constantly changing up their tactics to prevent the enemy from adapting, and if it came down to a off X night hit, (as they preferred to do on targets with high probability of IED makers), they had maintain a silent entry to get the jump on the bad guys before they could detonate any ordinance.. White light would not be ideal in that circumstance. John McPhee talks about this alot in his podcast SOB podcast.
You are literally everywhere.
@@Ry43deck.. You’re a “nobody” 👍
Australian here elite forces not special forces, think I read the report on this, losing a mate is bad enough but a couple, we will frag the whole building like what he said
Love those Brit’s , sas , sbs, true warriors
SAS are the most elite fighting force in the world, enough said.
One of the most sure. Its impossible to tell between delta sas and some others. They all train together and are extremely similar. Main advantage delta has over anyone else is the uncontested reach and support of the US military. They have support anywhere in the world unlike any other country. Thats what makes them the best.
US JSOC dwarfs the entire UKSF easily
Obviously Delta force was formed after visiting US troop trained with them in the 60s and took the idea back stateside as they had nothing like that at the time.. The sheer might of the US army has made Delta force the formidably impressive unit it is today, and they continue to work hand in hand... Both are absolutely awesome...you wouldn't want any other guys in your corner, and if their after you, most just surrender... I laugh at the amount of hostage situations where they've just given up on hearing that the SAS are coming.
The sand walls are the most resilient building material I’ve seen . Took a 105mm round to make a small car size hole . Small arms might as well be spit balls . We would just drive through them instead of using explosives or rounds towards the end
Halloween 2003 I was 2 days from 1 year old , crazy to think how much has changed
The trick with Iraqi houses is that you need to hit the base of the corners. Shit will fall pretty fast after that. Learned that in Ramadi.
Goddam Shawn! You have some gold in your podcast for a good while now. I’m sharing your shit brother
Thank you for sharing my friend!
The thing that blows my mind! if you randomly crossed paths with this guy. you would never guess he had a body count!
I love this Delta Cat.this man is cool in my book,ok.❤
He is the man. Him and Poras and Codi were the best.
You just don't fuck with the SAS
I gotta say I'm digging the memes and visual gags in this one. Especially the Chris Pratt one XD
This guy is bad ass for real and all the soldiers that served including the Brits! ESP. The way he said we lost some guys…omg! Sir thank you 🙏
I was in a Halloween costume 10/31/03…. 9 years old. I can’t remember what costume I wore, but I remember the exact place I was at on 9/11. Took until graduating college to understand the full scope of what went down and who were the first guys in. He is one of them. Hoorah sailor.
For those that don't know look up the Iranian Embassy siege in London that was pretty much the first time the SAS were seen doing a public operation on the news before they were really on the quiet.
I almost remember that as if it where a month ago ...
It would be decades before those involved would speak about what went on, but it was, and is, classic 22 SAS stuff, in room clearance. They swept through the entire building in minutes, but from what remember from Troops involved, it got pretty gnarly ...
I wish I could remember more, but there ought be a couple of decent books on the whole thing ...
@@nigelft One of the SAS there that day was super pissed off I think either because of the embassy situation itself or maybe a hostage or two was executed he was gonna drag one of the terrorists out back to straight up execute him but another SAS member told him not to because a news camera crew were watching them it is absoloutely insane what went down that day I think there was a movie inspired by the siege aswell.
There's nothing a Brit loves more than hearing other nations tier 1 talk about the SAS 😂❤
Yeah Brits are weird they hate their country but love their guys lol
@@famalam943 Well, they trained Delta, so, they should take pride.
@@KnowzsPenge all special forces cross train. It’s nothing special
@@famalam943 Are you that ignorant? You are wrong - Delta Force was created in the image of the UK's Special Air Service (SAS) not any other. The Unit, as it is often referred to, was formed by Charles Beckwith - a US Army officer and veteran of the Vietnam War who served with the SAS.
The US Army's Delta Force was modeled after the SAS, and the units share a close relationship as a result, working together on many operations.
Nice attempt to downplay the SAS when the SAS is what Delta is based on. FACTS
@@KnowzsPenge.. The SAS did not train Delta. In fact in the past 20 years it’s been US SOF teaching UK SF. Just a fact
Hell yeah! You guys are freaking rad. Makes me feel feels. Thanks for being so damn awesome.
Love how the "COMING IN HEAVY" can be conceptualized in a 30 second clip
Worst thing you can do is kill spec ops guys and NOT run
There was nowhere to run the exits were blocked with Bradley’s
You ought to get Col. Douglas MacGregor on the show
Absolutely
He’s too anti war for this show
To be targeted by SAS and Delta is truly a 100% death sentence. Those dudes are sooooo good at what they do.
My nephew was a marine in fallujah, India Co 3rd 5th.he never told me much about it other than it was pretty nasty fighting, and breaching houses was bad. Much respect far anyone who served, but hearing stories about fallujah really hit close to home.
Some men are born warriors
“House full of bad guys”
ain’t that something?
“It doesn’t matter who you are you’re dyin” dayum
I'm always impressed how this sounds so obvious for those guys to get in and clear the house. For an untrained civilian this is nuts... All respect to everyone serving.
13.47 this resembles an episode from the wire tv series where they made an area a free zone for dealers and addicts.
These guys are serious. Hate to have to go up against them 😮
Tows into the house is bad ass..
Best podcasts on UA-cam hands down!
SRS, Damn!
RIP crprl Jason Scot Clairday Fallujah Iraq 2004
I love that shit.
This guy is a good story teller. Plus a badass doesn't hurt either.
"Don't worry Lieutenant, we'll get the Americans"
'But Colonel, how do you know they were American?'
"Because if they were Israeli, we'd never know they were here. If they were British, we'd all be dead"
SAS is the best. Facts
Sounds like a good example of why they say war is hell.
Intense story, one thing, you are telling me , a house can stand multiple TOW missiles? That's some good engineering
When you lose a man eye for an eye
That's the most recent up to date photo you could find of SAS? David Sterling and the lads from L detachment somewhere in North Africa around 1941?
SAS is notoriously.."photo resistant". They don't like being photographed.
@@wilb6657 everyone knows that. I think the shots, meaning pics, from the Iranian embassy London would of been a better fit.
@@robertdeen8741or the pics of all of the professional authors in B20 in ‘91 😂
Yep that’s all you’ll get as that’s the only period from which the SAS have officially shared any documents
How about a picture of the dead Brit comrades lol
Obviously those guys pissed off the British Grenadiers 😂
All respect to y’all- the best way to CQB is with the main gun of an M1 Abrams. Target, cease fire. Anybody else wanna play? No? Thought not.
When you have to reach out and touch someone.
Yeah...except they didn't did they. In I think it was 2005, two SAS troopers were being held hostage in a Iraqi police station. The Brit's had tanks close by. They drove through the surrounding security wall & just demolished the entire complex....by running over the buildings with the tanks. They didn't fire a single shot. That's the best way to CQB with a tank! While the tank's were having fun at the Police station, SAS troopers were releasing their friends that had been moved to a house elsewhere. The kidnappers ran away as soon as they realised the UK was not going to negotiate, but just take back what was rightly theirs.
This sounds a lot like something that happened Halloween night, but in Ramadi, and very few details are correct. I know because it was my first night behind the gun on a Bradley my 1st tour. 🤔
I was in Bco 1-16… sounds like the same mission to me.
Yeah this guy is a lying coward. But that's every soldier ever so I can never truly tell which one is completely fake
“Doesn’t matter who you are you’re dying” Ah yes the crime of being born on the wrong patch of dirt at the wrong time.
Yeah that’s how the world works dude
These targets were NOT innocent civilians...
Pretty sure your tune with change if you could see the slaughter they were responsible for… They do not value life like we do… They are the ones that do not care if you were an innocent civilian or not...In fact, if you do your research on the individuals that were on the deck of cards you would find they were each responsible for Heinous crimes against their own countrymen...Many of which were children… So, they deserved To die in the patch of dirt that they slithered in on...what would have been true justice is if they were killed in the manner in which they killed and tortured others…
Yep. All this killing. For a war based on lies. Now we get to hear these stories of men killing eachother for entertainment. Great.
Nobody in that house was there just because they were born in Iraq. They were all hardcore Baathists.
@@thejimmymeister just like the US and Brit mil…they certainly weren’t born there, and our guys were only there under completely false pretenses.
Those baathists or whoever they were, had far more reason to be there than our forces did.
This was one of the best podcasts ever what a guy
"Doesn't matter who you are, you're dyin"
SAS don’t play. Theres a story about the embassy siege from the 80’s. About one of the hostage takers trying to blend in with hostages, as they make their way outside, the hostages point him out and one of the SAS men see this, grab the dude and unholsters pistol. They make to drag him off while a chief is waiving them down because their on national television and homie wasn’t gunna process a live body.😂
Yeah great. Why were we fighting these people again?
Nowhere near a good enough reason
Exactly
Oh please, when radical Cell groups hit your hometown and kill someone you love… Pretty sure your tune will change...And if you don't think they are not targeting Americans… There are many horrific incidences to show that… So many cells taken down right here in America… Hell, it could be right in your own neighborhood but you don't know about it because you choose to not get the facts before you speak! And it's not like the alphabet agencies and law-enforcement can let anybody know ahead of time or they're gone like the wind…
Lol the animation of 'Sadam and his Minions' killed me 😂😅
I have never been in war but one thing i know is that war benefits no one it may seem like you wine the war but if you have to sacrifice your people to do so did you truly win.
in a toff accent (we dont care who you are that was just not cricket. but here's a frag cricket ball to play with.
I remember that night very well......
When he said the British got pissed, he could have stopped right there...they had to sign the Magna Carta to stop fighting each other...
The Magna Carta was mainly drawn up to haul King John into line!The Doomsday book was an inventory of all Englsh assets!
Imagine if Chinese or Russian soldiers were saying these things about Americans after envading the USA 20 years ago. Iraqis had every right to defend themselves
Never said they didnt.
The infantry is used to take and hold territory on the ground.
That's what they did.
Very true. I hope Russia or China just nuke America instead of wasting their own people in the process.
I love how you struggle to defend a population of people who have been at war for there entire history. Go give your fake bleeding heart to somebody who gives a fuck.
Literally explaining war crimes
But it was against brown people so I'm okay with this
Really?!
Where do you get your definition of war crimes?
All you have to do is look at the people that were targeted and that is truly "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity"… Even worse… Against Their own people!
Bruh halloween night I was 44 days old. That's wild
I was just 9 days old premature
The only thing than 22 SAS coming after you is 22 SAS pissed off.🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇲
Not much glory when you so heavily outnumber and out power people you describe as " bad guys", but it's their country, many innocents were killed or tortured and in the end you left the place in an absolute mess. Glorified murder in my opinion, against people who dare to resist your invasion.
OK, let's take a step back… They were targeted hits because of their Heinous crimes!
My guess is, if you lived there, you would be glad they were gone... they are the ones that tortured innocent children, women and unarmed men... so before you condemn… Get your facts straight!
Thank you to delta force and the British SAS for their service… The world is a much better and much safer place!
So easy to tell story of us and brit special team destroying someone's house in another land with smug look, yet Russia is a bad dude for doing the same.
Unbelievable stories I guess I wish I should've been there. Thank you for your service.
Recon by fire....best approach....always
You people truly need to stop glorifying shit like this. And this is coming from a veteran. These people really don’t know what they are fighting for.
Sit down ma'am.
Cry harder - Also a Veteran (160th, 15D)
Listen to his entire 2 hour interview before judging Chris VanSant. I don't think their stories are right for shorts, this is true. Because it doesn't leave any time to contextualize what's going on. But VanSant's not glorifying it here. He's just telling what happened.
Veteran or not... This guy is ex delta! You got nothing on him! Its good to talk about things like this, and to people who can relate.. and still have a sense of humor
Proud of the evil 😈
To overcome evil with more evil
Great interview!
I was born in the USA left when I was 2. My father was in the marines. Lived in Scotland the rest of my life. Sas are good but I still feel marines and the seals are the shit. Love your stories. Og's for sure 🏴
You are wrong. The best are the British Army's 22nd SAS and the Royal Navy's special forces unit the Special Boat Service (SBS). Fact. Even US top ɓrass acknowledge that.
Those oldtimer sas guys looks prettttty serious
The guy in that picture at the end is Christian Craighead. Look him up and you won’t be disappointed. He’s top tier badass.
Obi Wan Nairobi kicked ass❤
Cutting the pie? Fuck that, we're fragging every room!
The only thing more terrifying than a US/UK special forces team up, is a very angry SAS unit wanting you dead and not for the mission.
Being ex para reg....this fills me with pride and gives me goosebumps.....play a silly game with the best in the world.....win the silly prize 🤙🏻🪂
Wall charge… surprised they didn’t order the Bradley to level the building.
I was over there at that time. Pretty sure the Bradley's you were using was from my battalion. 1st infantry
🇺🇲THANK YOU SIR! Thanks for your service....👍Your a Hero! Hope your physically, financially and mentally set...👍
It doesn’t matter who you are your dieing!! Shit was cold you can feel the must been pissed at that point
Bloody good show
