Random thought, but if you haven't watched it already you guys should react to Godzilla: singular point
@@nicoleorman6385I’m the moderator for the channel and I’ll make sure they see this. 🙂
Lucky number slevin is one of his good performances
We all love this channel ❤️
40 Days, 40 Nights, and The Faculty.
The two Delta snipers who went in were both posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the first time since Vietnam it had been awarded.
@@Eragon2679 your comment was equally unnecessary
@@Eragon2679 Randy and Gordon deserve the shout-out again. True heroes, sad you'll never achieve anything like that.
@@spindriftmoa1517 I deleted my comment since no one seemed to get my point. I was just annoyed by people who repeat stuff that was already mentioned in the movie as if they were contributing something new that no one else knows about. It wasn't my intention to disrespect Shugart and Gordon's efforts. I must say that you didn't have to get this personal, considering the fact that only 3506 people received the Medal of Honor since 1863, i think it's save to say that most people won't achieve something like them.
@@Eragon2679 Hopefully you learn next time.
@@Eragon2679 Hopefully you learn next time.
I’m a 38yr old retired Army Paratrooper/Intel Agent vet. I’m glad you all watched this older movie because it’s one of my favorites. 1:00:08 Sad thing is that this truly happened and they did parade the bodies of these soldiers around in the streets. In real life it looked way worse from photos and stuff I’ve seen. Of course the films aren’t 100% accurate and never will be but they did great on this. You always have a plan but the plan always goes out the window when bullets start flying and people start dropping. Yet I’m glad these movies are made so people can remember the stuff that goes on. War and going into battle sucks and leaves forever scars. I battle PTSD, body injuries, and depression everyday. The other bad thing is there’s way more way worse off than I am. I know it’s a movie but I’m glad you all reacted to it. My Gpa was also Special Forces and one of the Elite members of the Delta force which this movie shows members of. They are the elite of the elite.
I would love for you all to do more. Maybe 1917, American Sniper, Saving Private Ryan etc. I’d say ‘A Band of Brothers ‘ which is the best Army show of all time but it’s allot of episodes. It’s amazing though. Anyways, thank you all again for letting me be a moderator for you guys. Gives me something to do and I enjoy it. 🫡🦾🙂
Also, thank you to my brothers and sisters who serve, and those that have served. Also to the family members who are with soldiers and support them. Seriously without my wife’s understanding throughout the yrs I’d be a mess. And there’s people that have gone through WAY worse than I. So thanks to those that go through those difficult situations. It’s not easy at all. 🫡
I know we all love to laugh which is great, but sometimes it’s good to reflect on what truly happens in the world. But hey things like UA-cam help us escape reality which we should do sometimes as well. 🙂
Thank your for your dedication and sacrifice. Thank you for your service. Wish you much luck and strength in your battle with PTSD.
@@snowball4557 I appreciate that very much. Many more are way worse than I, but I know they appreciate people like you that actually care. We all do courageous things in our life, just in different ways. 🙂❤️🫡
Thank you for your service. Thank you for standing the watch. We owe you and your brothers and sisters at arms more than most of us will ever know.
@@otterpoet I appreciate that very much. Gotta give it to those before me and those that did much more than me. I’m happy to see people still care about those that have served, and that are serving currently. Thank you! 🫡🦾
With respect it doesn’t matter if you filled a pot of coffee, or made food while serving. You served. You signed. You were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. While those that have passed deserve their recognition.. so do you. We appreciate you more than you know. No sacrifice is to low, nor to high. Thank you
“Lucky Number Slevin”
Josh Hartnett shares a screen with Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Sir Ben Kingsley and does NOT disappoint.
the dialogue in this movie is so entertaining, everytime I rewatch it im still entertained.
This and The Faculty are my 2 favorite Hartnett movies, although I watched Oppenheimer this past weekend & he was great in it.
This is my choice too. Such a good movie, and so many people don't know about it.
He was in 30 days of night too. It's a good vampire movie.
@@dannyluv78 Also, Penny Dreadful.
The soldier who made the call home and missed his wife was the 2nd soldier who got killed on the helicopter protecting the pilot. And also yells at pizza boys that the roads are closed in Fast and Furious
That pizza boy who happened to be the director
The one who played MSG Randy Shugart “Johnny Strong”
I watched this movie again a couple years ago after not watching it for a while at which point I realized just how stacked this cast was. I still hold it as one of the best casts in movie history.
This film is a dramatization of the book which was written about the true events of that mission. I served with some of the Delta guys. Quiet professionals is a great description of them. I hated Eric Bana's portrayal until I saw the BTS. His character was based off three soldiers in the book, and after seeing his interview about it, I respected his portrayal so much more. He tried his best to honor all three. THAT... is dedication.
It's funny because the character is almost totally one soldier Master Sgt. John G. Macejunas - weirdly the film actually decided to change the ending a little - he did go back into the city to find Durant and the others but not in uniform and not with a weapon - he went in a pink polo shirt and chinos. Eversmann didn't go to the crash site that was actually the real Hoot and a few others and his character is the one thats mostly an amalgam of 3 people. Weirdly pretty much everything shown as being done by Hoot was actually done by Mace and most of what was shown as being done by Eversmann was done by Hoot. I understand the need to amalgamate some characters and I beleive that whilst Mace provided advice to the film he wasn't keen for his name to be used. The real Eversmann meanwhile was on the lost Convoy.
Useless Trivia: The photo of Durant's family is actually Eric Bana's family.
My favorite Josh Hartnett performance is def Lucky Number Slevin
LNS is a fantastic movie!!
This movie came out a few months after I joined the army, we used to watch this in the barracks knowing we’d be deploying to some place similar in the near future. When I eventually made it to Baghdad I remember going out on our first patrol and hearing the mosques’ speakers open up with evening prayers, definitely sent chills down my spine.
To answer your question this is the best performance by Josh Harnett, his second best is in The Faculty
Same. The real guys came to visit us in basic training. Didn’t really appreciate it at the time but now I definitely do.
1:00:54 "Wilkie," TSgt. Timothy Wilkinson, was awarded the Air Force Cross (U.S. Air Force's second highest award for valor) for his life saving work under fire in Mogadishu. At one point in the battle, he had to run from one building to another get some bags of IV fluid (which he needed to keep a patient from going into hypovolemic shock) and then run back with the bags, all under a hail of Somali gunfire. Miraculously, Wilkinson managed to make the run without getting shot causing one Ranger said "God must REALLY love medics" and others to joke that the Somalis underestimated what a slow runner Wilkinson was and were firing too far ahead of him.
One of the most intense movies ever made. We get like 40 minutes of setup and then almost two hours of some of the finest put together nonstop military action ever put on film.
Some reviews criticized Tom Sizemore for walking seemingly calmly while under fire, but the real Col. Danny McKnight forced himself to appear calm because he thought that if his young soldiers saw him showing fear, they would lose heart at a time when they needed to be focused and determined. As Thomas Pakenham told his fellow officers at the Battle of Gallipoli "Don't bother ducking. The men don't like it, and it does no good."
re: Helicopters: The helicopters in the movie are from the 160th SOAR. Those Blackhawks are the real MH-60 special operations variant. The DoD cooperated with the production because it showed the US forces in a positive light, and the actual 160th provided the aircraft. Also, the actors trained with the actual units they portrayed.
"Lucky Number Slevin" best movie with Josh Harnett
Easily in my top 25 movies of all time! One of the best cast and one of the best war movies ever made!
Crazy to think that these are real events and the movie was based on a true story. As a vet I still can’t believe what we saw and went through, it’s like a dream everyday, and doesn’t seem real.
Anyways I have hearing loss from my right ear after my time in the Army OIF as a Paratrooper because my M-16 and M-203 grenade launcher was fired from my right hand. When it’s fired it goes off right by your right ear. My wife hates it because I turn the TV up too loud and talk to loud 😂 . Yet she’s very understanding about it. Also, thank you Greg and John for letting me do a little work for you as a moderator. I appreciate it very much because at least it gives me a little purpose after leaving the military. Love talking Marvel and Movies with you all.
I cannot thank you enough for your service. I wanted to join the marines as a teenager but I couldn’t get in because of my asthma and ADHD. I wanted to join for the same reasons Eversmann (Hartnett) wanted to join. Not just to kill the enemy, but to save the innocent. To fight for those who can’t fight back. And to look out for my brothers and sisters in arms.
I heard guys who were in that battle say that people at that time (early 90’s) joined the military, and specifically special forces, to “free the oppressed”. That they truly believed in it. What we were trying to do in Somalia was the right thing.
Those who disrespect the American flag, have never been handed a folded one.🪖🇺🇸
Im 27 and This has always been on of my favorite movies growing up.. had it on V/H/S at my great grandmas
Same and I’m a OIF Army vet. It’s a film but they did an amazing job for real.
@@BuckyBarnesATL I can definitely agree with this 💯
Are you sure VHS it must have been one of the last VHS ever.
@@stevendiaz7633 yes because we only really
Had VHS tapes and that was one movie I watched so many times on my vcr
@@stevendiaz7633 the last vhs movie I had was 2005/2006
I do love the casting for this movie. Bane, Legolas of the woodland realm, Obi-wan Kenobi, Draco Malfoy's dad, a bunch of second-stringers who are either talking on the radio or just running. Such a powerful and deeply impactful movie.
Correction Randy Shughart, was the one making the phone call.. He also was the one making his one man stand in the Helicopter... Him and Gary Gordon were award posthumous Medals of Honor for their actions.
I served with a dozen guys in the 10th Mountain who were the rescuing/reinforcing element during this battle.
Their accounts are the stuff of storybooks. A few years after I head these stories, I was in the invasion of Iraq, and got my first taste of this kind of war. I can’t even tell most of the stories because it’s the stuff of storybooks.
My favorite Josh movie is actually the series Penny Dreadful, he was outstanding in that, and is a must-watch. Thanks for covering this film, it's one of my favorite war films with an outstanding cast.
We Were Soldiers - About the first use of helicopters by the cavalry and first major American phase of the Vietnam War
Medal of Valor - 'fictional', however the SEAL Team depicted are an actual SEAL Team. So, they don't perform dialog as well, but they are fully trained soldiers doing what they do.
Guy Ritchie's The Covenant (2023) - Inspired by the real-life interpreters we hired during Afghanistan. Our government promised them that we would bring them to America for what they did. These men risked their and their family's lives if their identities were discovered. *Someone* decided not to honor our part, and even gave the Taliban a list of interpreters, of which most were hunted down and executed.
When they were loading up in the APCs to leave the crash site, an officer (can't remember his name) got the last space just as a young soldier ran up hoping to get in. When the soldier was told there was no room left for him, the officer saw the absolute fear on the man's face, and so he got out of the APC and let the soldier take his place. That officer's brave act of compassion convinced the soldier to reenlist, and the officer actually did manage to find a ride in another APC.
just so you know: the guys flying the Choppers in this movie belong to the same unit who flew the REAL Mission back in 1993-160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment,
AKA: The Night Stalkers...in some cases, it's the same pilots.
''Hua?''
''Hua!!''

It's spelled "hooah" and it literally just means anything and everything, except "No." 😅

@@donovanb9020and in the Navy it was “hooyah” because we gotta put that fruity twist on everything.
Oh, it CAN mean no. lol
@@donovanb9020exactly! And it’s way overdone in this movie nobody actually says that lol
I joined the Army a month after the events in Mogadishu. When I joined Special Operations many of the guys that took place in the operation were still around. This is one movie that anyone who has participated in combat can easily say that it is realistic. I still have hearing loss on my right ear because of shooting. Nice to see the Rejects take on a movie like this!
The Soliders with the radios on their backs calling in the air strikes are Air Force Combat Controllers. The go through all the training that Navy Seals, Delta Force, Force Recon, Army Rangers, Navy Explosive Ordinance etc and air traffic controller school.
It's sad how much the events this film portrays have been forgotten within our society. Not only for the fact of what UN and U.S. forces did, but the atrocity inflicted on the Somali people.
Something not really well explained in the film is the issue of the substance known as Khat. It is made mentioned of briefly as the CO's are being given the mission briefing in regard to the timetable of the operation. It was common for young men, especially in the militias to chew on a local weed substance that acted like a drug. Notably, it would stimulate the senses and increase traits of aggression and irrationality in the user. The time of day the mission took place was when most people using it would have been at the height of its effects and the Rangers were well aware of that fact. In essence, it was referred to as akin to throwing gasoline on a fire.
I'm from Chicago. I'll never forget the Monday morning after this movie came out on the weekend Mancow radio had the 2 real soldiers that Hardy and Bremner played on the radio doing an interview talking about how they were left behind and losing the hearing and everything. It was absolutely crazy listening to their story.
My favorite war movie of all time I can watch it hundreds of times I have already lol. Great hard hitting cast and just a great story to tell . Rest in paradise to the soldiers lost in this fight
Same and I’m a OIF Army vet. It’s a film but they did an amazing job for real. Also respect to you for appreciating those that serve. 🫡
18:34 When Colonel McKnight (Tom Seizemore's character) talks about "being f@cked up on khat", he's referring to the plant that somali militia chew on. The psychological effects include heightened alertness, elation, and insomnia (no need for rest). I was very lucky to meet Danny Mcknight back in 2003 on a filmset in Agua Dulce Canyon in CA.
42:44 Keith Jones, the little bird pilot, did the same thing in 1993. The army send him to the filming, where he were asked to potrait himself in that scene. He did.
After watching the other two react to Glory I’d like to praise you two lads for understanding the mission statement.....the film is the MVP and you shown it the respect it deserved instead of goofing off like the reactors of Glory......night and day !!
Josh Hartnett is always great to see on screen! i wish he would do more films
I heard a rumor he’s one of the lead actors there thinking of picking to play Doctor Doom in marvel Josh Hartnett
~ Behind Enemy Lines is awesome!!!
~ Platoon
~ The Hurt Locker
~ The Covenant
~ 13 Hours
Jarhead>Hurt Locker imo
Which War Movie has the All-Time Greatest Cast?!?
This one has a pretty solid one. This, and Saving Private Ryan.
This one and Hawksaw Ridge
The Longest Day? A Bridge Too Far? Great Escape? 😎
But yeah, this one is a darned good candidate too.
@@WriterOnTheEdgeAs an Army Paratrooper OIF Vet you’re exactly right. That and the show Band of Brothers are so good. 🫡🦾
@@BuckyBarnesATL I love Band of Brothers. So great.
Wait those 2 are not brothers? They look so similar and act like siblings sometimes, it’s even better when Greg is in the middle and he’s like “I can’t with you two”
41:51 The other Delta operator on the helicopter was incapacitated by a dislocated shoulder, so SSgt. Dan Busch essentially had to defend crash site 1 on his own until the Rangers arrived. Though he was evacuated on the Little Bird helicopter, he died from his wounds (which included a gunshot wound to the abdomen below the edge of the front plate of his body armor) and was posthumously awarded the Silver Star (the third highest award for valor).
Eric banas best role was in a movie called "chopper" about an Australian underworld figure in the 70s-80s
1:17:45 Remember, when he got wounded, how panicked Ruiz was until Capt. Steele got him focused again by giving him his weapon, instructing him to cover the door and telling him "Still in the fight." Hearing Ruiz at the end tell the captain that he can still do his job and insisting they don't go back out without him is kind of inspiring.
When I was in Basic there was a surprising amount of people having seizures. Turns out for many people their last episode was as a child and they essentially forgot about their condition until the stress of basic brought back the seizures.
The book by Mark Bowden is well worth reading.
It approaches it from a journalist's perspective and gets most everything from documented information and actual interviews with the soldiers themselves.
Absolutely gripping and told in order of events as they took place.
Maybe not perfectly accurate, but the attempt to make it as much so as possible seems to be authentic.
I found it interesting that he was able to travel to Mogadishu and get first hand accounts from people living in the city
@@mikeserot1410 ...If you had taken the time to check, you might have found that he had indeed drawn from first hand accounts of residents in Mogadishu who were there when it happened.
But you just thought you were being clever and went ahead and wrote some snarky garbage...
well done.
@corvuslight wow... have you EVER seen an interview with him? He talks about traveling to Somalia to interview residents. Don't be a jackass and think you know better than me. Now shut up and move along.
@@mikeserot1410 ...my apologies. I misinterpreted your post as being snarky and sarcastic and that you were implying that the people of Mogadishu were NOT interviewed or consulted about what happened.
I know they were and that's why I said they were.
Again, my bad.
@corvuslight no worries. This is a subject I've studied for a while. Read the book several times, read Battle of Mogadishu several times, spoken to Rangers and a Combat Controller who were there. I hold these men in very high regard and wouldn't say anything that wasn't true
You need to check out We were soldiers and Heartbreak Ridge along with Enemy at the gates they all are amazing
I loved him on The Faculty
Me too
@Stardust_and_Madness hopefully they react to it, if any of them hasn't seen it
@@jenny_lee_87 that would be so fun to watch!
That "cannon" mounted on that jeep was a Recoilless Rifle.
it's enough to recognize the actors. you don't have to list everyone's filmography for the year.
You guys, everyone at Reel Rejects, should react to The First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded by Dan Schilling Books. It shows exactly what guys like this are capable of.
Speaking of Dan Schilling, he actually fought in the Battle of Mogadishu. He was in the lead vehicle of one of the convoys during the operation, a convoy that had to return to base after running out of ammo. He spoke a bit about it on a podcast he did awhile back. He also saved some Navy SEALs at one point during that operation. He didn’t retire until 2016.
When Eric Bana tells Harnett that he'll have plenty of time to think about it later, he's also alluding to the PTS, while saying to focusing on the present objective of getting as many of his men back home.
This is legitimately one of the hardest military movies to watch. From what I’ve heard, there’s so much accuracy to the real life operation. Obviously including but not limited to Gordon and Shughart being killed in a 2 man last stand. I remember seeing their bodies on the cover of Time magazine being paraded around Mogadishu. What a sacrifice.
lol
@@TheAOTSdudesomething funny about 2 Delta Snipers being killed,stripped,and drug through the streets?
lol no just you clearly having a problem watching this @@rickyressel9263
@@rickyressel9263 lol no but whats funny is you having a hard time watch this film. I can tell you have never seen anything before
@@TheAOTSdudeit's described in a book, I forgot the title, but the very badly very badly, there trash bag in front of the gate base, it's possible the body of Randy and Gordon or the one another Delta's soldier
It is still crazy how many recognizable faces were in this movie, telling the story of these incredible soldiers. Unfortunately some factual details were omitted from the film, like the efforts of the Malaysian military, but the quality of Ridley’s filmography is incredibly powerful
My pops would play this movie so often, i can remember my mom just leaving the room the moment my dad would pop this in. But jeez did i love this movie would reenact every scene .
Top Josh Harnett performance: 1. Blackhawk down 2. The Hit Man “Sin City” 3. Sheriff “30 days of night”.
30 days of night one of his best performance. My favourite ♥️
@@user-uw1ke6fs7u I forgot about “Lucky number slevin” he was great in that too.
Great Reaction John and Andrew! This move is good! 👍
I remember the tears being uncontrollable after the 2 soldiers dropped in to try and hold the perimeter...I kept thinking help would arrive just in time 😢😢😢
Hey guys, I just want to genuinely share that rn I’m going through a very difficult time. I’m struggling through some things and going through some depression. Watching y’all’s videos honestly helps me so much just to be distracted and to get through my day. I watch you guys everyday. Thank you so much for your dedication to this channel and helping people like me get through some tough times.
I watched an interview the other day with Norm "Hoot" Hootin that was done about three months ago. One thing he pointed out about the film was the confrontation between him and the Ranger Captain about his safety not being on. He kind of laughed about it and said the movie made it into a bigger deal than it was. He also said the Capt wasn't a bad guy, he just told him hey, your weapon isn't on safe, and he said, it's safe.
This is realistic. Every mission profile has to have mission support. The purpose was to nab these 2 x tier one HVTs using Delta and the rest were in support of it.
I was a 15Y(Apache Avionics and Armament), this film and conflict were the main reason I picked a helicopter with a crew. I wanted to keep my ass on the ground even though I love flying.
The first Behind Enemy Lines (Seen it well over 20 times) is really great. One thing I found great was that Gene Hackman played a downed pilot in the movie Bat 21 (based on real life event) and in this movie his the Captain attempting to help Wilson's character...
Still to this day one of, if not the most intense movies. It is brilliantly done from top to bottom. One of the best.
Hans Zimmer indeed did the score, and, the DOP was Slawomir Idziak. Just an EXCELLENT film, with a super-stacked cast, and, Scott's shot composition is just amazing. He is a master!
I can never get over Eric Bana's GWBush in this movie. Its so consistent that its not distracting, but its just so.... Bushy
This movie was a GIANT part of my childhood.. I love this film with all my heart
Talk about an ensemble. The casting for this is insane for who you find in this one.
I remember watching this only once on dvd when it first came out as a teenager. I'll admit I had only watched it for Josh, Orlando, and Ewan. It's so funny to recognize everyone else now after the fact years and years later😂
Josh Hartnett is an underrated actor that didn’t really blow up like he should have.
That being said, this is easily one of my favorite movies ever made. Both because of the cast and because it’s an incredible movie that based on a true story.
This was an Army Ranger/SF/Delta Force mission. If anyone wants to know more about them, the mission, and what they carry I’ll leave a link. I’m a OIF Army vet and thought you may like to see it. Also, you all should watch the UA-cam videos about the pilot and those that survived Black Hawk Down. Great interviews. www.hkins.fi/airsoft/operation-gothic-serpent-kits-us-army-ranger-and-1st-sfod-d/
Jason Isaacs is a Army Ranger Commander. They have different responsibilities and specialities. The Delta Guys are full tilt war vets that are go go while as you saw the Rangers are full on kids and built to secure space.
Thin Red Line is phenomenal. You should watch it.
Josh Hartnett in Penny Dreadful..his chemistry with Eva Green...ahhh chef's kiss ❤
Speaking of war movies, SERIOUSLY although a dramatization of real events, Behind enemy lines is an absolute gem that so few people have reacted to.
Fun reaction! One cameo that most miss (myself included on the first watch) is that the medic trying to save Jamie (Smith) is Hugh Dancy (Law & Order lawyer that plays 'Nolan Price). It took a few re-watches for me to catch him in a certain pose that reminded me of his L&O role and it just clicked.
Scrolling past your reaction spurred me to watch this film before circling back.
Watching the real footage of the aftermath on the evening news, back in the day, was horrifying enough to scare me away from this film when it was originally released.
Thank you for another excellent reaction.
One of the most under appreciated and influential war films of recent memory. Great movie and glad you guys got to watch it!
It was Shugart that called his wife. He was the second sniper killed at Crash Site 2. Mike Durant is the pilot looking at his wife and son (actually those are photos of Eric Bana's family).
The strobes were used completely wrong. They were used to mark Ranger positions and anyone else was fair game for the Little Birds
7:20 The actor who plays Mr. Atto - George Harris, played the ship captain in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Katanga. 30:25 When Ridley Scott was casting for Kingdom of Heaven and wanted Orlando Bloom in his new film, Orlando had second thoughts. He said 'the last time I was in a Ridley Scott film he chucked me out of a helicopter.'
I watched this movie as a kid and to this day it’s in my top 10 favourite movies of all time. Even as a kid this movie hit home, and it took me several watches to fully grasp everything that was going on. Amazing
After trying to watch the absolute shit show that was the Glory Reaction, I want to say thank yu. This is how one properly reacts to a movie with important content. You are enjoying, learning, commenting about key things, trying to understand. Not making joke, making light of the situation, making a mockery of the situations.
Appreciate this reaction even more now, As I do you John and Andrew.
I remember when I was in FMTB going from blue side corpsman to green side. My SSgt. Made us do the last scene when they ran for that last mile tired. We did that after our ruck march in full gear.
The "Delta Safari" thing was true. The snipers would hunt wild boar from their helicopters as a means to secure extra food but also to keep their skills sharp. In addition to Gordon and Shugart being onboard Super 6-2 for the Super 6-4 rescue, there was a third sniper, Brad Halling, who stayed onboard because he was manning the right side minigun after the crew chief in that spot got shot. Their helicopter took an RPG to the side of the bird in between Halling and the co-pilot, severing Brad's leg.
There were 19 helicopters in the initial raid Supers 6-1 and 6-2 were Delta sniper platforms, carrying only Delta operators, Super 6-3 flew Command and Control (C2), Supers 6-4 through 6-7 carried Ranger chalks and an Air Force Combat Controller, and Super 6-8 was the Combat Search And Rescue bird, carrying Delta and Air Force medics, a Combat Controller and a team of Rangers who acted as security. The rest of the birds were either AH-6 or MH-6 Little Birds. The AH-6s flew gun runs and the MH-6s flew in Delta Operators and another Combat Controller into the target area.
On the convoy, there was a fourth Combat Controller and a team of 4 Navy SEALs in a Humvee with no doors, roof or armor.
The ping pong accident happened when Sizemore and another Ranger were having a friendly game and he fell and messed up his arm. Brad Thomas (I think - there were two Thomas's in the unit) really had asthma.
Blackburn was actually 23 years old and deployed with Task Force Ranger.
This shit actually did happen so no sequel unfortunately. Also delta force is the most ELITE of the SF guys. Which is why Banner is doing his own thing most of the time. They are the most trained. So his "this is my safety" comment is true to character. They dont need a safety lol Also the two delta snipers who went in really did that. They knew they would die but demanded they be put down to help.
I recommend for your next reactions: 13 Hours, The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, is a very similar story.
Anybody notice Scott Smalls from The Sandlot as the dude who falls and that kids shoots his dad?
So mad I didn’t notice him!
Excellent job guys.
To answer your question. About how they where supposed to operate if they enemy could figure out they where coming.
The answer is the us special operations forces like those depicted her normally perform their missions at night whenever possible . tom Sizemore character mentions that after the briefing that one of the issues he had a problem with was rhis was a day time raid. US military night vision capabilities even all the way back in 1993 whwre miles ahead of everyone else and the three main units that fought in this battle where among the worlds best at fighting at night. Flying helicopters in the night in s very hard and the 160th are the worlds best helicopter pilots
Lucky Number Slevin is a really great Josh Hartnett film. So good, great watch.
he was right hanz zimmer is the composer, it was nominated for 4 oscars cinematography, director, editing, sound won editing and sound
The Faculty for Josh Hartnett ... fav horror movie till this day
This movie had me so tensed up that when the Little Birds made their nighttime gun runs, I literally (lightly) pounded the arm rest and whispered “Yesss…. Yesss….” Never ever did anything like that in a theater. Army Brat, BA History, military history buff - and the movie sucked me in like that. Just wow.
59:35 he's not the voice mail dude. That was Randy Shughart, the Delta who safed him and felt after Gary Gordon
25:18 He's also played a General and Colonel in pretty much every Transformers movie and more recently General Shepherd in the new Modern Warfare 2 and they could all be the same character. The guy is just built to play a General giving commands in a monotone voice while the troops are over there getting shot at.
And we are still there. Still using that same Airport. I've been on that beach.
The video in the command center was the actual footage from the battle. Captain Steele was my battalion XO when I served. He was a major then. He also played on the same football team as Hershel Walker. I think he was a tackle or tight end. You should also check out “13 Hours”. If you want to see what happened in Benghazi Libya.
My andrew impression "aahhggghhhh"
"Ahhhhgghhhhh" 😂😂
Omg, sounds just like me!
A delta operator did a 30 year anniversary podcast with a SEAL by the name of Shawn Ryan in this show they discuss what happened to Gordon Shughart and the rest of the crew of Super 6-4. A few days after the battle men came to the Ranger FOB Gate with their bodies torn apart in pieces placed in body bags. They never knew if it was a scare tactic a way of retuning the dead or a strategy to not unleash hell again in the street.
I was in the 222 transpo. Army. In 2002. From Kuwait to Iraq. Our buddies in Infantry spent most of there time kicking down doors and fucking up Delta Bravos.
I actually got a combat action badge because we got rocks thrown at us.
The Knuckleheads with us could have leveled the place.
Seven up armored Humvees sat for 3 hours.
Nobody died. They got bored and we moved on.
82nd and XVIII Airborne Paratrooper and Intel in OIF from 2007- 2009 Vet injured and retired at 38. 🫡
@@BuckyBarnesATL You fuckers have a tendency to get injured in training.
Balls as big as oil rigs.
You won't catch me jumping out of an airplane. No sir. Fuck you. I'll take my little dick and head for the buffet.
To anyone that may choose the life of a soldier. You will be bored until you aren't. And when you aren't bored anymore. Remember your training. It will save your life.
23:20 Eric Bana the true realist. Love his character. Obviously based on Delta, but he truly is the part
I hope I live long enough to see our military make something like the drop pods used to drop personnel behind enemy lines in Halo. I think we could have them by the 2050’s
The Faculty. 1998 film directed by Robert Rodriguez. Fun watch.
