    Every squadron or patrol needs a Peter McAleese, his experience and enthusiasm alone are infectious. I'd have been proud to have worked with a this man.

    We need inspirational stories like this to feel proud about what our countrymen have achieved post World War 2. You guys developed the tactics of special warfare. basically, you were force multipliers. Achieving things in small groups, what entire companies would have done in the past. It is an honour (I don't say this lightly) to be privy to these stories and to have this information available for free. Young people should have warriors as role models and not fake actors or wrestlers. Thank you all for your service. To the cooks, truck drivers, medics, and right up to the operators of the SAS and SB.

    Great job Rusty,
    No bullshit here. I recently looked out a ton of photos from my time in the Army to show to a young lad at work who needs direction in his life, in the hope that he will join up and give him a purpose and many memories after he leaves the service.
    Thanks to Peter too.
    Best As Always,
    Stevie in Fife.

    Hi Rusty
    Another very interesting insight to Peters exploits the emotive way he explains the events is so strong,if he asked me to go though a brick wall I wouldn’t hesitate.
    The importance of preparation to achieve your goals is a lesson,so many people fail to do and they wonder why they get themselves into trouble.
    Looking forward to your next interview with Peter thanks again 👏🏻👏🏻

    Peter, you should recall the 'mutiny' in Rhodesia shortly after the elections when the regular army was trying to assimilate some of the former guerillars. It's one of the episodes that stuck in my mind from your book many years ago. I'm sure many people would like to hear that tale of practcal soldiering. The red hats etc.

    Two great people, one thing I have observed with SAS soldiers none of them seem aggressive, in many ways they come across as very humble type people. I assume that is because of their high level of confidence. Two very intresting people.

    Peter's life is an amazing real life epic. I've stumbled upon his book a few years ago and it is one of the best reads ever. Clearly a highly skilled, admirable fighting man. Only down side is fighting on the wrong side of history and ethics for some time. I'd like to know how he comes to terms with that now and what it means to the man today.

Also subscribe to John van Zyl channel on UA-cam. They feature at least 30 interviews with former member of the RLI, Selous Scouts, SAS and Air Force. Amazing accounts of what they and us went through especially between 73-79. Hope this helps. The
