Dude is staring into my soul while the operator tells his story.
Almost put painter tape over that side of the splitscreen. Full-on distraction.
Self-awareness & end product review goes a long way for quality control.
Great content tho.
Damn yeah it’s bad. Super distracting
@@Mango10449 honestly…. Once I noticed, I couldn’t keep focused on the story to be honest.
Lol
@@prod.r9656 it’s also kind of wild though that this operator. Keeps on talking about how there needs to be silent operators, and people need to not talk about their missions and make money off of it. Or write a book. But he’s honestly doing the same thing on UA-cam….
“And so I gave him the good news” that’s the most rawest line I’ve heard in a while
The Fact they knew Rangers would Die if they didnt take this terrible mission is True heroism to the highest degree. They could have easily sit back and stayed safe. This is one of the reasons why these guys were selected to be Delta Force operators. No one in the world is better than this group of guys. So much respect for them.
@CidersAndReligiousCrusadesbruh just stfu . Do you think the SAS guys care that you defended them in some comment section. Neither units give a shit what anyone says about them. They know what they can do.
@CidersAndReligiousCrusadesthat’s simply false
The meat riding is crazy
You should watch the few videos out there of them doing CQB. Theyre just too fast, its nuts. I feel like a lot of them are literally wired different in a way that we dont yet medically understand. Their reflexes and whatnot.
@@gman52712it’s from continuous training and practice. The same way every other elite professional is
Thank You Sir for Your Service and Sacrifice.
Wow. Thats an amazing story. Glad he's still around to tell it.
Get a girl that looks at you like this guy looks at his camera. And then immediately file a restraining order.
LOL😂
I took 6 223. rounds. Two in the neck, two in the left shoulder, one in the left hand, one in the right thigh. I never fell. Thats the surprising thing. It didn't knick me off my feet. I keot fighting. Now, it hurts and it is incredibly scary, if you focus on yiur training and keep fighting you will survive.
fucc dude. thats a lotta rounds
Want to tell us what happened? That sounds crazy
Obviously if it's true the bullets hit nothing vital period
Were you a us soldier? I need to hear this story please share
Tough night in S Chicago? 😂
Don’t know how you’re getting all these awesome operators interviews but damn!! I’m binge watching!! I tried out and failed!! Much respect!!
Delta is truly something special. As a Joint Task Force operator i was able to see the best of the best. I understand what hes saying about Rangers, and the difference. Delta is tirelessly trained for this scenario.
I can attest to this op. And i can also say it was a mistake to not bring another shooter. But honestly think of how unselfish this act is. Brothers saving brothers all throughout this post. Hats off! The humbleness in voice, , and story make me proud to be an American!
Im a grateful civillion who never served. Honestly I am on awe of your skilled actions, as well as your clear, humble. am very smart sharing of events. God Bless you.
Thank you Brent Tucker. Seriously, thank you.
Great show, thanx boys. Always cool to hear stories from the pointy end of the spear. Good thing Mr Tucker survived his wounds and able to tell the story for us civi types.
Fantastic interview. Glad Brent has came out and spoken about his experience. He’s got a great, humble, no BS way of speaking
Thanks for what you and guys like you do to keep us all safe!
God bless you and your families ❤
They don't keep you safe. If you want safety don't invade foreign lands. People hate America for what it does to them. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Russia via Ukraine all attacked by US. None of those people ever hurt Americans. And 9/11? The Saudis did that but no invasion of Saudi Arabia ......
Incredible story and true hero.
Awesome to hear a war story from a humble hero....
Imagine being SO tough that you do not even notice that you got hit by a damn GRENADE.
What an absolute unit !
Unbelievable story and heroism. What a humble warrior 🇺🇸
Great story! Thank you for sharing. The first time I have ever heard an Operator say the TQ was worse than the bullet!
When put on right you'll know because it should hurt. A pinched artery hurts like a MF! It's hard to explain the back pressure slamming into those nerves.
@@snakeinthegrak8969Everything downstream is going to hurt like hell because there is no blood flow.
Tourniquet's hurt like a motherfucker.
Having legends like Mr. Tucker and Mr. Coker have me subscribed up. These are the people we all need to hear alot more from. Warriors
Thank you for your service. ❤
Yep. Drive to succeed does a LOT in getting back to duty status. Bravo to you Sir.
That's a Spartan Warrior right there!
God bless you brother, that was an insane story. I can't imagine going through that. I seriously thank God there a men like you on our side that are so capable, so well prepared and trained, and so willing to go into hello for us. Thank you for your service.
In the end I was amazed by the guy's dedication to the mission and the interviewer's ability to mouth breathe more or less continuously.
This podcast channel is going to blow up im calling it now
Thank you for your service.
Damn . Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Great story/interview.
Wow,this guy ls story of Valor is amazing, no civilian could ever comprehend,I am so amazing his bravery of not feeling invinceable,egotistic,whats actually at stake knowing if you become prisoner of war,they are merciless, barbaric no American could wrap their head around,would never be able to sleep at night knowing this,trying to imagine,it's no video game
Wow, fantastic detail. Heroes don't know they are heroes.
This story highlights their Selection process reasoning. Among other things, if shot and dying are you going to give up or not. They also do solo black ops, and if injured are you going to crawl your way out? We will never hear about those types of missions which I'd guess are more common based on their selection being solo. Interviews also revealed that often people would singularly disappear for a few months for missions and nobody would talk about it. And in this case he answered the question of needing people who's mind won't break before their body.
As a Ranger, I don’t take offense to this.
As a Park Ranger I agree
As a former junior park ranger, I also agree
As a friend of the red power ranger, I agree.
As a Boy Scout ranger I agree also
As a guy who used to have a ford ranger, I agree
I got a 2 inch piece of shrapnel in my thigh. I thought my leg was on fire at first!
I'm am so humbled by these Delta and Devgru guys, they are without a doubt the Phd's of the modern battlefields. Americans can sleep well at night knowing these Operators are on our side.
🇺🇲SF
Only Delta are "operators." Seals are seals. All BAMF but that's the facts
@beenschmokin you don't have a clue what your talking about.
@@Calif5150 LOL. You apparently haven't listened to many Unit men talk about it. They came up with the term operator. Better check your facts before calling someone wrong. Many old school Unit guys have talked about this. They used "Operator" because they were from many branches and weren't all green berets or seals or recon so they came up with "Operator." Now every SOF calls themselves this but doesn't change the facts of it's origin and true meaning. Operation Iraqi Freedom included many mechanics and support and since they were all involved in an operation are they all operators now too?
@beenschmokin Like I said, you don't have a clue what your talking about. You obviously haven't spent 1 day in the military, just some wanna-be something. Run along there Skippy, I think mom said your Hot Pocket is ready
🇺🇲SFMF
Dale says it. Not me. 12:30

DJs story is just a little more graphic, and he, too, is a great story teller.
DJ?? Was it the same mission? Would be interesting to hear how 2 people on the same mission experience it differently
@@ericsmith6467dj wasn't delta
I think you're talking about Jason Redman. The time he was shot. DJ was in one of the vanilla Seal teams at that time.
@finksburg7380 DJ and Jason were both in team 10 together. DJ was with Jason when the accident happend.
The getting shot in the stack on the roof, the redman incident, or the Somalia one?
Gotta listen to Don Shipley's son, DJ, tell a story very much like this that was HAIRY AS F. Jason Redman was shot on that operation. It's on Shawn Ryan's show. It's OUTSTANDING.
Wasn't the same mission there was no Fire or wall.
Wow.. what a story. Well played good Sir. 👍
Dealing with squirmers can be a chore, but dealing with squirters is a whole nother tier of wet, slip n slide combats.
He’s 1000% on point…. The way I break it down rangers are pretty much B+ students most delta units are A+ students
Wrong analogy. Infantry units are like high school ball, Rangers are starters in college ball, as with tier 2 socom units. Tier 1 socom is more like nfl/nba. There are A+ personnel throughout the military.
Man that is one hell of a story.
Awesome interview 💯✔️🎯
So basically he bodied like 8 dudes by himself. Nice
"3 months later, I could operate". Dude is a beast. I love that he called out Rob O' Neil's fake Bin Laden story too.
Thnk you so much man
Thank you
The thing about orchards reminds me of a story my grandpa told me. He was a FOO in France and Belgium. He had a story about encountering Germans in an orchard, said it was like “hide and seek in a nightmare.” They got the Germans bc the Germans hid behind a half-wall which means they weren’t moving and could be flanked. Harrowing stuff! Every tiny decision matters in an engagement.
Call me crazy but “So I gave him the good news" had me rolling
Question: Probably will get thrashed for asking, but why not parachute in a kilometer or so away and track into the target?
This is heavy.
It is not a mere mortal man that can heal from that in just 3 months. Our SOF guys are very special. Thank you all.🙏❤️🇺🇸🤙
Nah, they're just men.
Steroids and drugs
That was a great story! Thanks for all the detail. Heard a lot of things here that you don't hear any where else.
Charles Beckwith survived a shot to the abdomen with a .50 caliber round.
That is true. Beckwith talks about that in his book "Delta Force." Beckwith also says in his book initially the triage nurses and doctors wrote him off as not worth working on. Beckwith said he had to yell at the triage doctors to get them off their butts to do surgery on him. Beckwith also mentions how at Great Lakes Naval Base hospital (where he ended up getting sent stateside for the .50 caliber abdominal wound), he had to yell at the nurses to get himself and others wool blankets...Great Lakes Naval Base is a cold, depressing place to be. Beckwith was a tough SOB and while he was not a rocket scientist or anything, Beckwith was smart in his own way. Beckwith was an idealistic Army Officer who kept getting blocked and tackled by the big Army bureaucracy. He kind of broke through the big Army bureaucracy towards the end of his career. He was an honorable man, was creative, gruff...and the while I never actually knew him...I speculate he was pretty tired when he retired after the failure of the 1980 Iranian rescue mission.
@@CoolestDude38NC My cousin was/is Joe Galloway.... Beckwith placed him on a .30 caliber air cooled machine gun at Plei Mei Special Forces Vietnam... before he was green lighted into LZ Xray. They remained lifelong friends.... as most who served in combat do in military circles. Blessing pal... always.
@@downtown4028 That is interesting. Was your cousin Joe Galloway a Project Delta SF guy in Vietnam working with Beckwith? By Project Delta, I don't mean Delta Force. Beckwith created a sub unit in Vietnam he called "Project Delta." It was in the sixties.
@@CoolestDude38NC No, he worked for of all outfits UPI... which was the cheapest news agency in the world at the time. He pestered the brass at UPI until they sent to him Vietnam. Being from the Bryan area as a kid growing up, he knew some of the pilots from on the flight line once Plei Mei was lit up by the NVA and the air space was closed. A buddy of his on the flight line was to bring water, ammo... etc... at night, and well he got that ride on that bird. Once he hit the ground... and US officer said "sir, I do not know who the Hell you are... but Major Beckwith wants to see you immediately".... to which Joe replied, "Who is Major Beckwith?!".... to which the officer replied... "You see that large man over then jumping on his hat, that is Major Beckwith". Long story short.... he left Plei Mei w/quite the experience. It was Hal Moore that green lighted his entrance to LZ Xray.... for he had marched with the Calvary... Basil Plumley was the CSM. Delta Force really came out of the SAS... for Beckwith did train with those guys... and as the world developed... well there was a need. A incredible human being... he is missed by all who know of him and loved. I do happen to know a few Delta Force or "Unit" guys.... great community and simply the best. Blessings man.
@@CoolestDude38NC No sir, he was a UPI reporter. Friends from Bryan TX happen to be on the flight line outside of Plei Mei.... thus his ride into Plei Mei. Prior, he marched with Hal Moore, Basil Plumley and the troops... a few weeks before LZ Xray in 65'. As I understand it Beckwith used a template from the SAS to bring into light the Delta unit. He was an amazing person... just like all those who served. My 5th generation grandfather served in US Revolutionary War... we love our soldier. Hate war, love the soldier. Blessings.
When that adrenaline dumps you won't know you been shot. DJ Shipley talks about being shot from 6 feet dead center in his vest and didn't know until he got on the bird outta there.
The brass is what gets soldiers killed. And most of the top generals have not seen a minute of real combat so they have no idea they’re unnecessarily putting lives at risk. They should ask the experts (Delta) how to do this mission and not force their way and timing.
Bones grow back stronger....
I've been shot 2x and different times and it's no picnic that it really hurts and both times I walked away but it really isn't like tv
What kind of antibiotics?
I just imagined him sitting in my porch telling me this story while sipping some nice whiskey, smoking a Cuban cigar. Would be amazing to have friends like this.
Depends on where it hits and what was shot
From experience? (Sarcasm)
It's weird this guy staring at me. Sometimes he looks like Tim Tebow and sometimes he looks a bit like Jesse Pinkman.
You know it's real shit when he's worried about the rangers
Dude maximize your guests video when theyre telling a story. Looking at your blank face the whole time is incredibly offputting
I think he's handsome.
"...every 'person' in that room raised their hand." - can't say 'man' now at all
Loses common....
Me: "tech is great, but it never fu&kin works when you actually need it"
He looks like Jorge Masvidal's dad.
"Your nods aren't magic" 😥 don't you say that😢 i spent $44,000
Shooting dudes hiding under blankets…. Perspective is everything
An honest man, but a lot of "shouldas" in this story. Lucky to survive
"Rangers are not us"..... Well
You aren't like Rangers, neither 💀
Its wild they actually do make "Fentanyl Oral Losanges" AKA "Fentanyl lolipop".
I had to google them. Thats crazy. Id love to hear more about yalls IFAKs and Your team's medic's bag if possible
This is why I left the military, low quality command putting better men in stupid situations for no reason. I love my country, but the leadership sucks.
If I ever get blown up by a grenade, I wanna be as cool as Mr Tucker. Hoowaa
David has a great show, be he gets so rapt with stories of ops and engagements, he often looks like he might be rubbing one out while the stories move closer and closer to the climax of the event...🤔😛
Shock and adrenaline are Great aids to help wounded walk off the battlefield.
After you got shot, did you develop sepsis?
I guess he didn't get sepsis since he did not answer the question.
Wow amazing
Apparently Delta knows how to pick 'em
when he said the afgan tripped I stared shitting my pants
"do what you can"😆
I was shot 20 inches away with a 3" mag round fr6o a 12G shotgun. It's not as traumatic as people make it out to be. War is war. People get shot some live some die.
Not true at all I've seen a dude get blasted with a 12 guage slug and he was freaking out and his dark hair turned completely white within several months....
"Grenades don't kill people." This guy likes to be sure :)
Smoove Operator
Wow so they asked you how many ads do you want and you just said yes please damn this would be a good channel if you didn't have so many ads I won't be back
Blood under red light is black
fentynal lollipops were the shit... i didnt serve but have extensive use with these things. yeahhhh so now i dont do that shit anymore. homie may have been passing out cuz he was lit in more ways than one. cool dude, amazing story.
Yeah man fuck opiates
The sad part is the leadership didn't listen to their operators, and would put any of them at increase risk for what reason? That, or those leaders should have their. Contacts terminated...You think maybe CIA Idiots?
what is this lollipop for pain??
Yes
What a badass
Classic distraction injury...
We couldn't wash are panties or socks for 2 weeks at lackland afb.
He looks like Lionitis from 300
Rangers are definitely top tier operators
This is basically white vs black weddings
Is it bad that i watch these military stories because none of the vets on my life grandpa, dad ,cousin whos closer to a brother he only unloads when hes super drunk pops and gramps wont talk about alot dad was in nam and gramos korea i know dad seen some shit because he was force recon died 2 years ago fighting his demons and gramps is a devote man of god deacon in his church and all he will tell you was ge was artilery i left that be for a lomg ti.e till after my dads passing i just wanted to know stuff and found out most arty guys were infact in field recoiless rifleman so i did more digging and found he was on bayonett hill like i got that shit on official paperwork and he to this day denies it... you see them suffer in silence and all you want is to lessen the load because theyve already carried soo much and then they dont let you.
