@@OurSpaceshipEarth "reenacted with trained professionals." It doesnt say there are actors playing roles just trained professionals which could be a merc. The thing they are reenacting is getting captured.
As a veteran, these guys seem like they’re LARP’ing. Any group that runs ops should stay as low key as virtually possible. Even with blurred faces and nicknames these guys can easily be identified by other organizations and enemies. If 4chan can find a flag in the middle of nowhere by just watching video then trust me these guys can be tracked and traced.
“Ghost”, “Maverick”. Dudes literally got their names from a video game and a movie lmao. And then retrofitted the name from black water to red water lmao
I’m sorry but I can’t take these guys (mercenaries) serious at all. They just give me fraud vibes. I showed my father in law how served in the marines for 18 years. 20 years as a lieutenant state trooper specializing in drug arrest who’s now us marshall who’s does executive protection for Biden when he came to Cleveland. And as well as my mother in law who’s Dea and trained in Quantico. And they both agreed these guys just said the most basic shit ever and seem very non legit
Lmao you think if they were real mercenaries they would be so happy to be in a UA-cam video that anyone can watch and identify them by? They don’t even cover the tattoos 🤣
My buddy was a PJ in the airforce and became a PMC when he got out. He literally was addicted to adrenaline rushes of highly stressful situations. He dropped dead during training to become a state trooper from a heat stroke at the age of 27...leaving behind his wife and young daughter. Take care of yourselves so you can be there to take care of your loved ones.
But yeah these guys seem like larpers to me...the last time I saw my buddy at the bar I didn't even know he was doing the shit until he told me he just got back from Afghanistan and he had a big beard, looked like he just got off working on the farm and stopped in for a drink.
These guys are let nowhere near a president. Hell, not even a PTA president. This is larping. Mercenary forces don’t “take people out”. They fight in foreign legions and work security detail as reservists. These guys play cops and robbers pretending they’re someone in Call of Duty. If they were serious at all, all tattoos would be completely covered and voices would be altered. Anyone with any military background at all can spot this is BS a mile away.
I spot budget plate carriers, not being worn at the correct height/position, as well as no plates in some… amateur hour at it’s best. Do Not be like these guys.
I noticed this too. Joey's carrier was way too low and it looked empty or he had IIIA soft armor which is kinda unusual for someone getting paid to be shot at by motherfuckers with rifles.
I got that assessment too. They are probably making all these"missions" up. Guess who in their right mind would go on TV and show themselves and their tattoos if this is what they do.
I was in French Foreign Legion, born from California SoCal. After that I went to Wagner. I have been to Syria, Mali, and Ukraine with Wagner. I fought next to Navy Seals in secret missions as a Russian "mercenary." Your friend who works for that three letter agency must've forgotten events like Afghan and Somali so quickly. You laugh at them? I have seen your NATO troops get shot by children with guns. anyone with a gun is dangerous. Your troops crash in trainings in helicopters all the time too. Anyone can die from anyone and any thing.

Anyone who is a gear nerd like me and actually larps knows that these guys are just that...larpers. I mean come on for Christ sake, the majority of their team is running knock off Chinese gear so I wouldn't even consider calling them that anyway.

🤣 Yeah not to mention No TQ in arms reach, 2 mags, carriers are fresh and clean but hanging low with no plates in most guys carriers. CAT TQ applied to Tommy looks like a fake Gen 7 with white time stamp when it should be gray. So many things that don't look or feel right in this from guys who are PMC's. This just seemed like if you're bringing someone into a training and tracking you might use some Sim rounds to add stress and get some realistic video for your possible risk of exposure. People have already found the drone location they took in the beginning to a sports club in TX.
Just wanna say I’m proud of you bud. You’ve gone wayyy over a million subs since the last vid I’ve watched. You deserve my dude, keep up the good work.
@@shelltoe_soul 1. everyone trains in plates 2. literally nobody keeps plates seperate to throw on when needed, its not like warzone 3. when operating without armor a chest rig is far superior to empty plate carrier, then you can possibly carry a slick carrier in vehicle
@@aaronkong8393 yeah I fully agree, I hadn't actually fully watched these clowns “operating” when I made that comment.

A person purposefully breaking vegitation with a two man left flank and a sitting position is something that wasn't shown. Intel is important. Knowing that it was a three man team would allow for an ambush, not a hectic retreat.
All I gotta say is mad love, for any vet, or any current military, or mercenary . You guys are protectors and I will hit you up when I need help mad love I live in Texas too
As a guy that deployed, these guys are joke. I've only watched 2 mins, but I'm not 100% sure any of these guys were even combat arms. The lack of uniformity of gear set ups to ensure things like medical kits being in a single location, so every warfighter knows where to go when they need to 1) scavenge 2) provide aid 3) find mission critical gear. They look like air soft LARPers that realized they could scale and sell lessons to kids. They have cringe names on their website like Thanos, Nomad, and Breeze instead of normal call signs like Dog 6, Dog 2A or Dog Actual. The Triple Canopy (formerly blackwater) guys I served alongside with had nick names like "Contractor Pants" or just went by nicknames like Fred instead of Fredrick. Their gear is barely used based off of the wear and tear. I've seen security guards with more time in their kit than these clowns. A lot of the illusive courses they've taken are pretty typical for a deployment spin up. I myself have taken CROW, Electronic Warfare, IED, SERE, counter UAV, route clearance, MATV, etc training. You wanna know something wild? So did every other soldier in my unit. These classes are jokes that sound impressive when we rattle them out, but any other vet has done it every train up cycle to our collective pain. If you are looking to join these guys don't the only work they'll get is protecting an apartment complex if that. If you wanna actually go overseas check out Triple Canopy (US) and Reed (England/Africa) those are the only two I know from my time in Afganistan and both pay terrible unless you get on the specialized contracts which these clowns wouldn't qualify for at the same level they try to portray. All and all it looks like a camp for cringe dudes to live out their fantasies since they left the military after their enlistment. Its cool that these vets want to try and start a company, but the fact that they're misleading people is sick especially for people that actually need qualified individuals for contracts like VIP extraction, Executive protection, and static security. All of which I would only trust them to be static guards. There's also a lot of young guys. In my experience, "mercenaries" security contractors are in their 30s since when they got home they couldn't make it in the civilian world and wind up back in the sandbox after a time. This isn't meant as a diss but the harsh reality of selling your rifle to someone tends to be a solemn last resort rather than a first choice pick.
From what I just researched, Academi (formally Blackwater/Xe Services) did defunct in 2014. They merged with Triple Canopy, Inc. to form Constellis Holdings. Constellis, from their website, seems to be a conglomerate of different security companies. So in a way they did defunct just come back under a different company.
TommyG is a G, anybody that has had a tourniquet put on knows. I was cringing at the thought that he was muscling through that whole demo without complaining
Maybe do it with Forward Observations Group? They're not mercs or PMCs but retired US Military guys that made FOG their clothing company and came from Army Rangers to Special Forces and rumored to also have Navy Seals.

Its mostly all Real veterans though it's not people pretending, they actually served and were in combat. What do you think they do in basic training is that just 'larping' also? or maybe you should reevaluate your airbrained assumptions.

"Inside the deadly world of gun nuts with overexaggerated resumes." Airsoft-quality gear. Bottom shelf-quality weapons. Morbidly obese 'shooters'. Most of the plate carriers aren't sized and positioned right. No plates in half of their carriers, to include 'Joey'. Your 'recon' guy is running around with a shotgun instead of a long-barreled AR or DMR setup. Vague comments about how hills 'remind' him of Afghanistan. E&E exercise: First thing we'll do, run in an open field, and talk real loud. The enemy will never find us that way! "Waterboarding" by gently placing a towel over their head and pouring water on the top of their head. Doesn't work that way. "In about five seconds your lungs are going to start collapsing." 19:14 - Joey flags the cameraman and who knows how many other folks on the line with his handgun. Unloaded or not, that's an immediate no-go. Any legit company, or shooter worth their salt, wouldn't have stood for that. What a bunch of absolute clowns. I wouldn't trust them on a one-way flat range, much less an actual combat situation. These dudes are the opposite of mercenaries. If folks want a real look at how actual modern mercenary work is done, they should read 'The Modern Mercenary' by Dr. Sean McFate, and listen to interviews of Dr. Dale Comstock, an ex-Delta operator who went and did actual mercenary work in the Middle East. Real mercenaries, like the dudes who fought in the Congo, Rhodesia, and with groups like Executive Outcomes and Blackwater, wouldn't give any of these morons the time of day. These dudes? They're just a bunch of LARPers who have lied on their resumes and are probably living stolen valor.

As for the gofund me, it was for someone that provides resources to the community and no one is coerced into donating.
@@Favorites63891all of his videos are in the millions even couple millions but his vids are struggling ? lol , your comment is so irrelevant
Tommy G keep up the great work. Love your interviewing skills
This is a cute little skit. Cool video Tommy! Keep pumping out that merch!
Cute little skit😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣@@SimSwapHero
Anyone who is a gear nerd like me and actually larps knows that these guys are just that...larpers. I mean come on for Christ sake, the majority of their team is running knock off Chinese gear so I wouldn't even consider calling them that anyway. This is the first time I've actually been disappointed watching a Tommy G video.
I’m sorry but I can’t take these guys (mercenaries) serious at all. They just give me fraud vibes. I showed my father in law how served in the marines for 18 years. 20 years as a lieutenant state trooper specializing in drug arrest who’s now us marshall who’s does executive protection for Biden when he came to Cleveland. And as well as my mother in law who’s Dea and trained in Quantico. And they both agreed these guys just said the most basic shit ever and seem very non legit
Watch his video about afghan “gangs” in the SF Bay Area 😂
The gangs on this channel are better equipped than this.
I'm disappointed as well. :( Sad day
Same fr
The Gravy Seals reporting for duty. Do you think any of them believe the lies they tell?
This is either completely fake or these guys are just LARPing. The gear they are wearing is all Chinese knockoffs from Amazon. That was cringe..
The speedsofters tryna be more serious this round
Nah these dudes are hardcore! probably just went from Nerf Guns to BB’s
The editor for this video needs a raise this dude went crazy. Mad props.
I’m always blown away at Tommy’s reach. How does this man get into these groups and never have an issue? Good shit man keep it up brother☝️
My guess money 💰 and respect
You can really tell these are high speed guys because of how low they wear their plate carriers.
They look like every average airsofter
the most obvious giveaway that anyone needs to see if they know
🤣 Yeah not to mention No TQ in arms reach, 2 mags, carriers are fresh and clean but hanging low with no plates in most guys carriers. CAT TQ applied to Tommy looks like a fake Gen 7 with white time stamp when it should be gray. So many things that don't look or feel right in this from guys who are PMC's. This just seemed like if you're bringing someone into a training and tracking you might use some Sim rounds to add stress and get some realistic video for your possible risk of exposure. People have already found the drone location they took in the beginning to a sports club in TX.
Redwater😂.... I'm surprised you fell for their B.S.!!!
all you need to have done is ever wear a backpack. this isnt some big brain club@@ronin3028
Just wanna say I’m proud of you bud. You’ve gone wayyy over a million subs since the last vid I’ve watched. You deserve my dude, keep up the good work.
This was so funny :) Thanks so much man. Great video and really entertaining.
Them all wearing carriers with no plates is the cherry on top of all this bullshit
@@shelltoe_soul
1. everyone trains in plates
2. literally nobody keeps plates seperate to throw on when needed, its not like warzone
3. when operating without armor a chest rig is far superior to empty plate carrier, then you can possibly carry a slick carrier in vehicle
@@aaronkong8393 yeah I fully agree, I hadn't actually fully watched these clowns “operating” when I made that comment. They are just too HSLD to need armor I guess 😂
When I wrote about not wearing armor, that's what I meant. Gun belt or chest rig with the ability to slap on a III or IV vest over it.
And they weren’t at correct height
2:22 disclaimer it's all re-enacted stoopiud bs upload. this guy lost all credibilityu in one move, ouch!? how much of his isht is faked i mean like ... ???
I’ve always wanted a video on guys like this! They seem kinda goofy. Super interesting to me. Thanks for the upload Tommy!
PMCs aren't under Geneva Convention so they usually are pretty goofy seeming dudes. Gotta be when you do the dirty work, I read that they paid $300 billion here in the US for military contractors and these are some of those
‘Kinda’……. 🤔
they are
its cause its fake they arnt real military
They seem that way because they are. Don't take these dudes seriously. The serious mercenaries are the ones that you'll never see or hear about.
Definitely one of your best videos BigDog
Arnold Bomber! That killed me! 😂 Probably one of your best videos. It was like an SNL skit. lol
'yea this reminds me of Afghanistan' he says in the woods
Yeah these dirt mounds in the ass end of the Texas Hill Country are basically exactly like the Korengal valley. Why do you think Ft Hood is in Texas? 🫡
@@shelltoe_soul Fort Hood (now Cavazos) might share a lot with Afghanistan but its less because of the terrain and more because of the... well yeah

I recognize all of their patches from Amazon 😂especially the “Death Dealer” 😂
Not saying this isn't a load of crap (because it is), but morale patches are used in the real world by Armed forces all the time.
It's called moral patches
well that makes sense.... considering amazon is probably where every vet goes to buy fun/morale patches

I’m a 41 year old man who has consumed a fuck ton of media, and your channel is a new favorite!
Keep doing what you do, bro. Always stay real, and don’t compromise for anything!
You must love watching larping. These fucks are so far from the real deal. They don't even know how to wear a chest plate correctly.... also the so called gunner had small arms chest plate in
0:26 lol you know the "veterans when they get out but also when cops get fired" Are those my only two options?
Love all their tattoos and identifying stories, totally on top of their OpSec
They’re all cornballs. Grown men larping.
Amazing opsec includes first name one told his age and name
its kinda funny how all these arm chair veterans are claiming they have all this knowledge about black ops work but they were all just basic infantry and have never actually talked to anyone let alone done anything close to this, there are dozens of other examples of PMCs having social media and literally just blurring faces and showing pictures in locations like their "HQ" and training grounds... my neighbor who ive been friends with for almost a decade use to do contracting missions just like them after getting out and found this video amusing and enjoyable, but didnt find any reason to prove they dont do contracting work... it literally talks about how you can contact them and even meet and train with them so if youre such a professional why not go record a video showcasing your own video then one going and meeting them. or are you just a youtube expert....🤡 they arent doing hits for the CIA or deepstate
@@Youllpayforthat Damn bro did they do something to you that's a whole ass paragraph for a yt reply (their acting is dogshit)
@@Ot_Doges you typed a third of the reply i did... and i typed that whilst shitting on the toilet so whats your point? all you did was prove my point🤡
A person purposefully breaking vegitation with a two man left flank and a sitting position is something that wasn't shown. Intel is important. Knowing that it was a three man team would allow for an ambush, not a hectic retreat.
Him telling the story from “without a paddle” pretty much sums these guys up
They literally just larping and talking about “the good ol days”
That was amazing bro..legendary..Pretty sure this isnt a thing in my country I know we have the SAS though..
I was so immersed 😂
Blackwater isn't defuncted, it's just now called Academi, it's one of the top contracting firms in the country.
Love the content Tommy G on of the only real journalist out right now 💯
If you like Tommy G, then Tyler Oliveira will probably be up your alley as well.
You and Danny mullen R the goats of youtube journalism. I'm sure there's more.
Please don’t sell out and go on Logan Paul. You’re too real and I don’t want that piece of shit to taint you.
@@classic.camerascomparing tommy to Tyler is awful. Tommy actually does his research and doesn’t throw shots at people for no reason
Well, I would not say the only one. But he is good.
All I gotta say is mad love, for any vet, or any current military, or mercenary . You guys are protectors and I will hit you up when I need help mad love I live in Texas too
23:55 explains perfectly.
😂 Yup
the "totally not a gun box like at all bro" guitar case was meme worthy, might as well just have a $99 green gun safe in the vehicle at that point
As a guy that deployed, these guys are joke. I've only watched 2 mins, but I'm not 100% sure any of these guys were even combat arms. The lack of uniformity of gear set ups to ensure things like medical kits being in a single location, so every warfighter knows where to go when they need to 1) scavenge 2) provide aid 3) find mission critical gear. They look like air soft LARPers that realized they could scale and sell lessons to kids. They have cringe names on their website like Thanos, Nomad, and Breeze instead of normal call signs like Dog 6, Dog 2A or Dog Actual. The Triple Canopy (formerly blackwater) guys I served alongside with had nick names like "Contractor Pants" or just went by nicknames like Fred instead of Fredrick. Their gear is barely used based off of the wear and tear. I've seen security guards with more time in their kit than these clowns. A lot of the illusive courses they've taken are pretty typical for a deployment spin up. I myself have taken CROW, Electronic Warfare, IED, SERE, counter UAV, route clearance, MATV, etc training. You wanna know something wild? So did every other soldier in my unit. These classes are jokes that sound impressive when we rattle them out, but any other vet has done it every train up cycle to our collective pain.
If you are looking to join these guys don't the only work they'll get is protecting an apartment complex if that. If you wanna actually go overseas check out Triple Canopy (US) and Reed (England/Africa) those are the only two I know from my time in Afganistan and both pay terrible unless you get on the specialized contracts which these clowns wouldn't qualify for at the same level they try to portray. All and all it looks like a camp for cringe dudes to live out their fantasies since they left the military after their enlistment. Its cool that these vets want to try and start a company, but the fact that they're misleading people is sick especially for people that actually need qualified individuals for contracts like VIP extraction, Executive protection, and static security. All of which I would only trust them to be static guards. There's also a lot of young guys. In my experience, "mercenaries" security contractors are in their 30s since when they got home they couldn't make it in the civilian world and wind up back in the sandbox after a time. This isn't meant as a diss but the harsh reality of selling your rifle to someone tends to be a solemn last resort rather than a first choice pick.
BlackWater is not defunct actually - they just changed their name to Academi
From what I just researched, Academi (formally Blackwater/Xe Services) did defunct in 2014. They merged with Triple Canopy, Inc. to form Constellis Holdings. Constellis, from their website, seems to be a conglomerate of different security companies. So in a way they did defunct just come back under a different company.

Don't tell me what to do. Fck off
That's awesome what you did for Dr. Scott
Isnt this just larping lol
yah lmao
With real guns though lmao basically
Its mostly all Real veterans though it's not people pretending, they actually served and were in combat. What do you think they do in basic training is that just 'larping' also? or maybe you should reevaluate your airbrained assumptions.
They are a real PMC though.
It's training. There's a difference. These guys aren't role playing.
Today im training with grown dorks who couldn't make the military requirements
THESE ARE HIGH SPEED DUDES ! tier 0 shhhhhhhhhh
Lmao literal cosplay
Love the content, merch and stuff you do. Just abit of friendly advice without sounding passive agressive 😂 Iron the clothes when showing off new merch, will make them look loads fresher 👌💯👍

You really had me believing that you were missing a leg...!! Hahaha, it gets an A+ from me...!!! Thanks for sharing...
great content man
I was suggested here while listening to the song “Sayo - Presidencial” 😅😅
ARAB and TOMMY G! I LOVE THIS COLLAB
"Inside the deadly world of gun nuts with overexaggerated resumes."
Airsoft-quality gear. Bottom shelf-quality weapons. Morbidly obese 'shooters'. Most of the plate carriers aren't sized and positioned right. No plates in half of their carriers, to include 'Joey'. Your 'recon' guy is running around with a shotgun instead of a long-barreled AR or DMR setup. Vague comments about how hills 'remind' him of Afghanistan.
E&E exercise: First thing we'll do, run in an open field, and talk real loud. The enemy will never find us that way!
"Waterboarding" by gently placing a towel over their head and pouring water on the top of their head. Doesn't work that way. "In about five seconds your lungs are going to start collapsing."
19:14 - Joey flags the cameraman and who knows how many other folks on the line with his handgun. Unloaded or not, that's an immediate no-go. Any legit company, or shooter worth their salt, wouldn't have stood for that.
What a bunch of absolute clowns. I wouldn't trust them on a one-way flat range, much less an actual combat situation. These dudes are the opposite of mercenaries. If folks want a real look at how actual modern mercenary work is done, they should read 'The Modern Mercenary' by Dr. Sean McFate, and listen to interviews of Dr. Dale Comstock, an ex-Delta operator who went and did actual mercenary work in the Middle East.
Real mercenaries, like the dudes who fought in the Congo, Rhodesia, and with groups like Executive Outcomes and Blackwater, wouldn't give any of these morons the time of day.
These dudes? They're just a bunch of LARPers who have lied on their resumes and are probably living stolen valor.
Thank you for your service.
I was a full supporter in the 30 seconds. They're America First Patriots. I wish they didn't work with 3-letter Agencies, but I like them more than I dislike the CIA.

They aren't called mercenaries anymore they are officially called private military contractors because using or hiring mercenaries is "illegal" in the world.
Being a PMC is also highly illegal in most countries,and being a PMC is different from a merc.
