    There is a video where they chat with a young American woman who was in the hotel. After many months, her husband said that she needed to know the true story about the entire incident. As she just assumed it was a SEAL team which saved everybody. She eventually got to meet Christian Craighead and one of her questions was "why did you do what you did"? He didn't understand the question, but when she explained further, he just said, "because it's what we do".

      Hearing her full story was so emotional. Being an American knowing one SAS drove over an hour to same civilians Americans and British alike. He liked at helping. And in the end was looked down by his own government just the way the us does. But he chose to live in the us name me proud that people like him will defend me and my family Shari's any engender, foreign and domestic.

    The SAS are the best, that's why they've trained other special forces all over the world. My Uncle was in the original SAS during WWII. He and his troupe were captured by the Gestapo, and Hitler ordered that they be shot, somewhere quiet. They moved them in a truck and stopped in a forest area to supposedly give them a toilet break. Then they shot my uncle and his men in the back of the head. The French put up various memorials to them, and not long after the SAS decided to hunt down their murderers and bring them to justice. I have a video of how they spent over a year finding all of them, and bringing them to justice, which ended at the famous Nuremburg Trials. My uncle is mentioned a few times in the video. It is quite harrowing as it is slowly revealed what happened to the men, but even worse was what the Gestapo did to our female secret agents inside a prison camp. After many other horrors they threw them alive into a furnace. I have the video if you want to see it. It shows the spirit of the SAS never giving up till they get the result they want.

      @SwagLikeOhio1803 I may be completely out of pocket so take this with a grain of salt, but I think a partial reason for operators having lower PTSD is that they're usually the ones attacking while the average infantry soldier, at least in more modern times, are usually just waiting to get hit and more stressed about when/ if it happens. I imagine it's like someone constantly trying to make you flinch by making quick attacking motions towards you. Basically constant gaslighting. Eventually that sorta thing would wear on a persons psyche. By contrast and like you say, the SF boys are on a job. They're the conductors of the fight so they know what's gonna happen (relatively) and what's to be expected. Less random happenstance. Respect to the SF men and all the armed service members. 💚

    Look into the pathfinders in North Africa who eventually formed SAS. In my local Pub (bar to you Americans!) there are regular reunions of the Paratrooper regiments that form for the most part the SAS The training in in the six months required to become part of the SAS is brutal includes torture, deprivation and interrogation. very few of the trainees make make it through. Research the SBS (special boat service) which are the maritime version they are even more secretive. These are the bravest,Hardest and toughest soldiers you will ever meet I’m just really glad they are on our side.

    One of the best thing about watching ur family do reacts videos. Is you know when to pause and don’t over speak the narrative. So many react videos It’s like I’m at the movies and a group won’t hush down. I’m like sure I love hearing what you have to say but pause it and say what you want cause if you are yelling and freaking out I can hear what the movie is saying. That why I love y’all’s react videos cause maybe I haven’t seen it yet and I wanna hear what the video is saying with yall.

    At the beginning, the the skeleton with the spear and the bleeding heart is the pirate flag of Blackbeard. . .US Navy Seal Team 3 uses it as their unit patch. . .it symbolizes that no quarter will be given. . .it is also used by the Black Rifle Coffee Co.

    What is so sad about this is when he returned to base in Hereford his fellow SAS resented his publicity & froze him out with him ending up leaving. I believe he went into private security & wrote his memoir which now the MOD won't allow him to publish. After serving 28 years protecting his country our military have turned their backs on him. It's shameful the way we treat our veterans.

    This kind of thing is the bread and butter of the SAS and SBS .
    The one story i read about is also based on one man doing what everyone else were too afraid to do.
    In Afghanistan a mixed unit of SAS and afgan troops on a mission to capture or kill a leading terrorist.The chase ended with the target and three fighters going into a low opening cave complex.
    The decision had to be made between going into the cave ( almost suicidal ) or meeting the extraction point, waiting till dark was not an option.
    One of the SAS guys asked if anyone wanted to volunteer to go in...... ( he said the Afghans all looked down at their boots kicking the dust as they shuffled their feet like school boys getting a verbal bashing from the headmaster) so rather than letting them off when they were so close one SAS guy stripped off the bulky kit and body armour and armed with a sidearm crawled into the cave..... almost immediately shooting began but after a short time the sound of the sidearm stopped, but one by one the AK-47's stopped.
    After confirming identity the group outside were shocked to see the blood and dirt and lumps of skull, hair and brain material " caveman" crawl out.
    After a little while to pull himself together he explained that his sidearm jammed and found a hammer on the floor, the mussle flash from the panicking men gave their position away in the pitch black cave,he killed each one by smashing their skulls with the hammer, up close and very personal,he could smell the fear and sweat and blood of each one...... his weapon jammed and probably saved his life not having a flash or sound direction to give him away......
    This is an example of what these guys are required to do

    Armani jeans, he would certainly have come with fishing trousers and rubber boots. That's so British again and one of the reasons why I love the British way of life so much. Sometimes extremely conservative (which is not my thing) and sometimes this special thing that goes against all the "rules" and still works.
    And that's exactly what I admire about them. I would rather be a 62-year-old Brit than a 62-year-old German. Please stay as you are.
    By the way, deciding to take up arms against the SAS or even individual members of this unit does not necessarily show intelligence on the part of the other side.
    For uninitiated people, i.e. the majority of the population, it is simply impossible to estimate or even estimate the performance of such units.
    It's simply unbelievable and explains the incredibly tough selection process. And that's just the beginning of what follows.

    The highest military medal of the British military is the victoria cross which is so difficult to achieve its incredible ( it's more likely to be awarded postumusly)
    The medal itself is made from the cannons captured during the Crimean war at Sebastopol... I believe the VC is only awarded in battle if your actions are outstanding in the face of the enemy or your actions directly affect and change the situation for the better...... so although his actions were extremely brave and courageous it wasn't in a battle...

    I'd like to inform the hosts that the SAS is a British army unit started during the second world war..... so the SAS in Australia and New Zealand is a version of the British SAS not the other way around....
    The motto is " who dares wins"and true to the motto he dared to face an unknown situation with unknown numbers and unknown firepower to do what he trained for regardless of the risk to himself....... he is the best example of what a real hero is, his actions were recognised as above and beyond the level of duty and he has been awarded the " conspicuous galentry cross" one of the highest level medals, his actions were brave and courageous that the reason he couldn't receive the Victoria cross is because it was not on the battlefield during military action,nor could he be awarded the George cross because that's the highest civilian medal and he was a serving soldier.....
    What he was awarded is a great honour and very difficult to achieve but he deserves more........ I'm ex RN and men like him make me feel humble and proud to have made the same oath and served the same country

    Our special services - whether British, Australian or American - are amazing people who perform under extreme circumstances. I know retired Army Rangers, Marine Special Services, FBI, and a couple who I cannot determine where they fit. But they disappear whenever things get difficult in the Middle East. One is a middle aged woman who provides local security and owns a metaphysical shop. Another is my neighbor. I feel safer with him next door. I have been protected by British and Australian Former Special Services supported by Gurkas. If you have never been around these amazing people, I can only say that I felt safer with them in Baghdad than I would feel walking in some parts of Atlanta. They never show fear. They always have a plan, a backup plan, a SHTF plan, and the merit to execute any of them. I've walked with them. I've told them that we can abort. I've been in the metaphysical shop. I'm told that the worst place to be is where she sees a threat. I'm just saying that we need to appreciate and thank them anytime we can actually identify them.
    They are everywhere. My neighbor is completely innocuous. You would never suspect him. But when it comes to success, he is apparently a bad ass. Just know that you probably have met some of these people. Don't expect to meet with them when things are hot in the ME.

    On the really scary side, these terrorists are trained to believe that if they purposely die while taking the lives of those they call "infedels" it will give them immediate entry into their definition of heaven. Infidels are anyone who does not believe as they do. Truly, they thrive on hatred.
    But then there is this soldier. And what a soldier! Yes, his training did kick in in a wonderful way! But I feel deeply that this was only part of the reason that he did what he did. He chose to do this training. Before he received the training that gave him the skills to accomplish this heroic feat, he had the heart of a soldier. Although I have never served in the military myself, I had family members who served in World War 2. And I have friends now who are both veterans and active military. For all of them I am very grateful.
    SAS Operator, thank you for your service. It is greatly appreciated.
