Abel don’t sell yourself short brother. I agree with everyone else that said it…. You are great man love seeing you on the show again
I am pinning this for Abel!
Aye, able, I agree with this man. I enjoy the trio for their own reasons but it's always dope to have someone nonmilitary to ask the questions that the avg bear wouldn't know or something.
Much love able
@@FNGACADEMYRestrepo is an even better documentary
@@FNGACADEMY ❤
Abel has great civilian perspective, like buck said, its just as valuable. I appreciate how he doesnt pretend to know what he doesnt know, but rather asks the questions.
Abel. You're NOT BORING, bro. You bring a different (and very useful) perspective. All three of you is peak FNG.
I really like the Abel videos. Sometimes, when it’s just Kurt and Buck, they don’t explain things well enough because they already know what they’re talking about. But when Abel is on, he’s asking Buck really good questions and making him explain things well.
Agree. His lack of knowledge brings questions that otherwise may not get answers.
@@davidjob4909 same with police departments. Some are so wildly different in their tactics it is damn near impossible to integrate.
Agreed, that's some self-hating bs. I appreciate Abel's perspective cuz it's relatable as someone who was never in the military but has had family in and am just generally interested in military-related foreign affairs.
thank you!
I like Abel. He represents all the civilian's without tactical experience.
As much as I want to razz Abel, you're not boring bro, you're a different, interesting perspective to Buck and Kurt, and we definitely appreciate all the work you do on the channel, in front and behind the camera!
Abel we fuckin love you bro just because you don’t offer the perspective of someone with combat experience doesn’t mean you aren’t entertaining to have on. You represent 90% of people who watch this channel who havent experienced combat and often ask the questions that a lot of us have in the comments too. You are just as important and appreciated by the FNG squad as Buck or Kurt, keep being you brotha we love it🤙
I'm a female civilian from Germany and i totally agree with Buck, the comment section here is awesome. I learned so much from your channel already and i'm always having a great time watching your videos. Keep up the good work! Much love from 🇩🇪
That SNAP!! of the bullet got me chills down my spine. Hi guys I'm a civilian from Italy, this video reminds me of my countless talks with my grandpa, he was a WW2 veteran and as he used to explain to me "you'd learn very quickly from the sound, the level of threat you were under, whatever they happened to shoot at you, be it mortar shells or bullets". We watched a documentary once with original sound and footage from the war: man the gleam in his eyes! The twitch in his fingers every time he heard a close "snap" near the cameraman... He was still in the trenches right then and there, sitting at the table with me. Chilling man, from the greenest civilian, that is one hell of an experience that I can only imagine or not. Thank you guys, I love these reactions! Ps: Abel, your presence is as appreciated as the rest of the guys 😉👍 Keep it up! My thanks to the FNG team 😉👏
Honestly, the best case scenario is to have all three of you on these, especially something real like this. Abel's ignorance of military is a blessing, get him there asking questions for the two experts to rattle back-n-forth about. Also, protip is to film this again with Kurt. Everybody will watch it, easy content boys.
I like abel episodes. He has good insight on cinematography. And he asks the sort of questions I would ask
This is one of my fav channels on youtube currently. I appreciate the humor
we appreciate you!
Restrepo !!!!!!
This was such a great documentary and very sad. God bless our troops. And don’t sell yourself short Abel, you’ve got a lot to offer in the commentary. You ask some really good questions.
Abel you're perfect for these types of videos because as a civilian you ask the questions that we would be asking in the comment section
I remember when I was little, and seeing the movie for the first time. My father told me, he almost made it in the documentary with his unit the 101st Airborne. Then last minute he was sent somewhere else. Which he told me it was Gods mercy.
I remember watching this at Basic Training when we got an off day for 4th of July funnily enough but my drill sergeant knew some of the dudes involved in the last operation of the doc
You fellas should react to 'Ross Kemp in Afghanistan'. Awesome documentary following some British units, infantry and mechanised. Some really good (and tragic) footage and experiences.
Watch all your stuff, keep it up guys.
I actually enjoy Abel during serious episodes. He asks the questions that many armchair commandoes are probably afraid to ask. Hoooooah!
Something you might find interesting and maybe worth reacting to is “Behind the Taliban Mask.” It’s a short documentary available on UA-cam, from a journalist who got permission from the Taliban to film from their perspective.
Love the channel, and Abel is the man! Works hard and you do a great job editing and putting together all the videos, when you guys reviewed that Steven Seagul movie together you guys both had me dying of laughter 😂 keep it up, and I hope you continue to pop up on the show Abel!
the sound of bullet near pass ... bad experience, but watching you lads every time is cool, god bless
Abel at this point you have more understanding then 90% of civilians you know more then you think, and your a genuinely cool dude. Also you make so much of this possible...and we appreciate all the work you put into it. But by all means don't take any shit from Buck.... :D
Don't kick yourself Abel. Most of your viewers are civilians. We need that civi perspective as well. Otherwise your show will just be a circle✊️🍆 of military guys. Also you shouldn't feel like you need to comment on every scene. Just choose the ones you think you have some important input. Keep up the good work
Granted yes, Abel you don’t have the expertise of a Green Beret but you are still useful when you ask Buck questions that other civilians might be wondering. Not all your viewers are military. You also bring good criticism with what makes good and bad cinematography from your experience with that. Cheer up dude. Don’t let the few negative comments outweigh the mostly positive comments about you being in the videos.
Thank you, this new schedule is much better.
We just needed more FNG and I personally really appreciate you finding a creative way to do that.
Looking forward to part 2 is always fun.
React to: The Devils Brigade. Bridge Over River Kwai
For next Reaction, book: The Filthy 13
I'll never forget Abel's "You wanna film? FILM!" from the Catalina Island episode :D
As for recommendations - "Who Dares Wins" (1982, British movie about the SAS) and "9th Company" (Russian movie about the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union). Would love to see your take on both.
Next reaction: Zulu (1964)
I've just binged "The Pacific" It's not a bad show. Give it a try.
yup was a great show done in a completely different style from band of brothers but was necessary to be done that way just due to the way the pacific theater was. it was a completely different war from the european theater. if you haven't seen hacksaw ridge yet, definitely check it as well.
@@sirmonkey1985 Yeah, I was shocked how difficult it must have been and how those marines endured. I'll checkout Hacksaw Ridge. Thanks!
I'm just here to say... Training Day
LMAO!
whats also part of perfection.......is self-deprication!
good for you Abel!
haha
you know what you're good at!
saluud!° from south america!
alwways a laught with you'all ....and can you ask Kurt for me....do they celebrate Thanksgiving in Turkey?
xD
saluud!°
Good to see you Mr. Abel
Other documentaries worth of watching:
Bomb Patrol Afghanistan
Pararescue Afghanistan
Series:
Tour of Duty
M*A*S*H
Restrepo…
on it!
This is incredible, hope Kurt is okay...and Abel, you're good man...Best community ever! since we are...can I get a free Ruck trainer 2.0? LOL
Thanks for sharing this! I was with No Slack (last unit followed) from '10-'12 during this, great group of guys. Definitely check out our Chaplin's documentary No Greater Love. NFS!! ♣
I like the civilian perspective that Abel brings to the videos.
Acronym Knowledge TIC= Troops In Contact
It's definitely an experience and after the first few times you do get used to the snaps and cracks.
USMC 0311 Rifleman 09-14
502d, 327th, and the 187th are the units in this documentary. I served with all 3 in my time in the 101st. AIRBORNE All the Way
Abel, my man! Technically you are my favorite person on this channel, especially when you're watching with those over juvenile delinquent Green Beret types... Because it just reminds me of watching shit like this as a kid with my father... (Green Beret from 1964 to 1979 5th,7th,10th SFG)... So yeah I do feel your pain at times besides it's been my experience that anybody with the name Sean has turned out to be an asshole😂😂
I like when I see Abel on here or Kurt, just keeps me the show fresh. If I HAD TO complain about something, I just wish you guys would go longer, you got so many fuckfaces doing podcasts for 3 hours and my guys only putting 30 minutes. Give me more baby. Fuck it, do an hour, let’s just see what happens.
Now I know what my girl feels like. 🤦🏽♂️
Great video. Abel, not boring. Also I watched a movie I think you guys would definitely enjoy it’s called Harry Brown(2009). It’s an old man vs gangsters movie that is amazing
Yooo, i was in 25th ID and we ripped with these dudes in Afghanistan back in 2011. Our tour was rough but nothing compared to what Bastonge BDE went through! They lost like 130 dudes in that one deployment.
As a UK Vet, I find your sarcasm based humour epic. Very much what you’d expect in the UK Mil.
One film to watch is, ‘Best in Hell’ on UA-cam.
It’s a pro Wagner Group film but take it as what it is.
Excellent visual of peer on peer asymmetric warfare in the urban environment.
Use of combined arms including visuals of the weapon systems.
Loads of stuff to discuss from movement with fire, casualties, alternate breeching points, use of limited bounds to avoid over extending etc.
Again, I’m not promoting it as pro Russian, but a well made depiction.
Though, personally I would have defended from ground level and surrounding elevated positions then held the tower block as a reserve demolition.
Great channel
I’m a war documentary nerd and book collector. There is another documentary covering these guys, except it’s their Chaplain, who carried a camera the whole time, and he made a documentary. It’s called No Greater Love. It’s better than this one. Also, For The 25, Pech River Boys, and Combat Obscura are all good too
Excellent documentary. Watched it a couple of times. Thanks guys.😊
Personally I enjoy Abel's perspective as a layman, asking questions curt wouldn't normally ask because of his ignorance on the topics. More viewer perspective
I remember when I was in Afghanistan, and a guy rode past on a dirt bike! He gave me the dirtiest look I’d EVER been given in my life. Just like he said… the anger for you in their face is beyond obvious!! That’s exactly how you can tell is Taliban, or at least tied into it.
Nice one. Did you guys do something from Vet TV? Or considered doing it? Like Grunt's life. I'd be really interested in your perspective.
I wash sure to "like" and "comment" for Abel alone for the algorithm.... more Abel as he is the Strawberry to our Neapolitan icecream.
Maybe a long shot, but what about inviting other service members onto the show who aren’t UA-cam famous? Like literally just some guy who may have done a job in the show you’re watching, or another ranger/sf dude that nobody knows, just to have a completely different perspective
and pretty much, the longer their beard , the more RADICAL they are
most of the time ,but not all , i know sum Gillette users that have shown the utilization of some RadicaL Akkktivites
Abel! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ This show would never work if you weren't there to do the necessary cat herding. You're perfect just the way you are ❤
And, like other people have said, some of us civilians need a civilian in the mix to ask the right questions.
Abel saying he's boring. Stfu. You are the cros point for civies that watch this stuff and don't get it. You ask the questions or have the takes buck wouldn't ask or Kurt wouldn't ask because they already know that stuff. We love having you react with them.
You guys should check out the danish war documentary called Armadillo
It’s pretty crazy
I thought you will review French movie “The Nest” or Hornets nest in original language. Really recommend that movie.
Having no military experience doesnt mean you cant be good for comentary.
Its all about perspective, just like the reaction to the close gun shot " NO NO NO" 😆
And breaking the video's in two parts, is not a bad thing for us. We get to see more and more reactions.
Probably also helps Abel in having to make less edits to try and get it all in one video 😄
Hey, you guys said something in this video about getting naked in order not to overheat after the adrenalin dying down in your systems. Did I get this right (please mind I´m not a native speaker). I ask becasue I have a rare disease with my adrenaline balance and I get the heat problems all the time after I get into social affairs because of my aspergers. My doctor says that only men have this diease and nobody knows why. When it spiked 14 years ago I lost my eye sight on one eye and I had to take medication for almost a year to get it back. Fortunately I got it back but I had to abandon my job as a photographer.
Wish you could tell me more about adrenalin issues.
Great reaction guys! Y’all should watch another documentary called Inside The Green Berets. Love to see your reaction!
Y’all should watch inside combat rescue it’s a documentary series that follows a rescue squadron in Afghanistan
Give Abel a break and you guys should watch “True Detective”, the long shoot out, pretty crazy
Oh shit i need to watch this doc. CPT Todd Tompkins was my BN Commander a few years ago. Had no clue he was in this!
I love having Abel in the video because he represents us civilians who don't know the military stuff so he asks many questions that we want answered too
Awesome video I know this is off subject of the video but I have a question. Does a 5ft female stand a chance of being in special forces? Just wondering
The episode numbering thing annoyed me but youtube forcing creators to have to game the stupid algorithm annoys me way more. Do what you need to Abel, we'll watch em all anyway!
Really enjoy the series gents. If yall are looking for more combat footage type documentaries then Combat Obscura is a great one to check out. It is basically a compilation of footage from a former Marine Combat Cameraman. Would love yalls view on the footage and if yall disagree with what goes on in it.
Abel, I say this with love: STFU and get on the show more. I always enjoy when you're in front of the camera too!
It actually makes sense that Abel Beyond here. Because when the other guys on. You're a little bit more casual with your explanations you don't go into as much detail. And I feel like with this video specifically you went into a lot more detail than you normally do. It's not to say that you haven't gone into great detail in other videos before. I just feel like in this particular breakdown you went a bit further than normal. Which I thought was good. And I think a lot of it is attributed to the fact that you have somebody who's not in the military. Doesn't have that military wherewithal. So it pulls more information out of you that we can then listen to.
I am a huge fan of this documentary. The father, and son duo going into the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan and getting right into the thick of a pretty serious gunfight. At times, a full 360 degree ambush was sprung on them. Definitely recommend you check it out if you haven't seen it.
I won't spoil the ending. But suffice to say, there were many tears shed. I am not a veteran, but many of my family are. And this documentary gave me a new discovered respect for what they did.
you take pics for ID of ordnance later. track SN to the shippers/ smugglers all the way from port of departure and the seizure of that ordnance. Not all combatants are on the battle field.
Apologies, forgot to add. Stop reinforcing failure, Abel is stoically boring.😂
Even the Bible says never taunt your enemy, satan is already going to hell, no need to rub his face in it. If you do that then God may allow something bad to happen. Do not taunt your enemy. This goes in sports too, they get a penalty. I taunted the devil a few times before because I was mad about losing my loved ones. My life got increasingly harder for awhile. Someone was listening.
Want to recommend the danish documentary Armadillo (2010).
Are you guys planning to do Civil War? It doesnt have to be political, but it would be interesting to hear yalls opinions on some of the tactics/interactions!
This is so awesome, you should absolutely watch some of the Ukrainian documented drone footage. It'd be so awesome to get your guys takes from those. Some of them are absolutely insane.
I'd like to see your reaction to End of Watch and the show Southland as a former cop. Both are very realistic, they just compress the career into a shorter timeframe
08-09 1-501, we hit 25 IEDs in 3 clicks on our initial convoy from Sharana to Waza Khwa. It took us weeks. Those RCP units saved to many lives. We were still using humvees as well as our rg31s and mraps
been a fan for a really long time and i love seeing your guys reaction content and love seeing the war doc stuff was wondering if you’d guys would ever react to another war doc called Only The Dead which i always thought was a cool doc and was curious on what you guys think of it? much love and keep it pushing❤
You have to watch “Citizen Soldier” next same thing as the hornets nest but lot more combat action. Love both the documentary though.
His face, u mean the guy who had the look of hate on his face, but was heavily out numbered so couldn't do anything. I guess they aint the best actors.
Idk know why I keep hearing that bullet almost hitting and I feel like Yess go time opportunity to use skills with little Ik. but ik In irl ima be breathing really hard and hope for the best for the unknown😂
You guys rock!! Keep em coming. Thoughts on doing the movie 300??
You should delete this and actually watch it before you record yourself talking about it lol they were on one of the biggest operations ever at the beginning and he said “idk a foot patrol or something” 😂
I’m still waiting for Kurt & Abel to do a breakdown video on some fast and furious movies!
southland please
You guys should do the new Civil war movie. Just dont go into it with the mindset of it being an action movie, i thought it was rlly good. And the team at the end was rlly badass
if you guys are looking for merch ideas i think a hat with vietnam era tiger stripes and your logo on the front with the bill and rest of the hat being black would be doooppee
i'm looking for a new hat with that style and checking all the channels like yours that i support and no one has a good one.
If the dog handlers get more freedom to choose what missions they go on, is like everyone vying to become a dog guy? And, if so, is it hard to become one?
Hey Abel a los mexicanos nos caes a toda madre. PD seguiré esperando las botas
A Green Beret and a Black Baseball Cap 🧢
You may want to look into the documentary "Restrepo" by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington
was in 173rd with Doc from Restrepo, we will do that one for sure
@FNGACADEMY in 173rd? Same here nice to hear, Able, Chosen and Scouts
Great vid - I think the ruck trainer is a great idea and a useful tool - can't wait to see the boots 👍🏼
Y’all need to keep the ice out of your cups but still love the breakdown!
Rose Anvil might be a good boot collab opportunity.
The Graveyard of Empires; and they own it.

Fighting Ghost in Khost.
Dud those V-shaped chassis actually work? Or did they just make much bigger IEDs?
Surely if you hit something with a big enough bomb, it's game over no matter what defenses you have...
True, if the boom is big enough there's nothing you can do but the point of the V hull is to deflect as much as possible to the sides
Theres so many great documentaries you guys can choose from this is great 👍
You need to do a break down of the last season of strike back with scott and stonebridge that had some insane moments
This shows also how horrible the UCP camo pattern was.
