A true American hero. It's said that Rambo is loosely based on Roy Benavidez's career. Happy Independence Day to all Patriots.
Roy is a hero, but Audie Murphy is who inspired the character I believe.
@@Cubs-Fan.10that's Right..roy was a beast tho
@flash980 I'm taking nothing away from Roy, he's cut from a different cloth. Just wanted to clarify.
@@Cubs-Fan.10 3rd ID! Love me some Audie Murphy history!
They u.s invaded Vietnam like they have done time after time with many country’s. The u.s propaganda has you people brainwashed.
He’s from my home town El Campo, Tx. I went school with his grandchildren and his daughter was my 4th grade teacher. Amazing American hero. (He encouraged me to join the marines) 🇺🇸
I read he was born in Cuero. I know El Campo....I was born in Victoria, TX!
He was born in Cuero, Tx! Right across from the high school is a monument of Medal of Honor Recipient Roy Benevidous.
Oorah DevilDog
huuzah....you made this former marine slightly jealous today
har har!
You should listen to his speach when he was awarded the Medal of Honor. There has never been a more humble man
That is, at least to me, the best telling of this story.
humbled. And yes, there is a more humble man, Jesus.
I know a lot of humble men that are at the same level.
You know the green beret are doing something right when they are not known
Yep!
On the other hand, every BUDS graduation comes with a book deal, and every 10 graduation comes with another shitty movie deal.
That man's story is so insane, it should be a movie shot in ONE TAKE!
I agree.
My son-in-law, Wayne (Doc) Biles was a helicopter medic in Vietnam. He does not talk much about it but the things he saw are unbelievable. He said the hardest thing was not being able to land to help the wounded.
Medivacs pulled my sorry ass out if the jungle (and the Song Be river once). Any Medivac crew member I meet will never have to buy another drink as long as I’m there.
Thank your SIL for me,
Fwiw, John Walton (Sam Walton's (Walmart) son) was a Green Beret medic in Vietnam. He was part of MACV-SOG clandestine ops in Laos and earned the Silver Star for bravery....
In the US Army the Green Berets are special forces. They're known as force multipliers. Their job is to go behind the lines to set up resistance against the enemy - be it political or otherwise. They will train and equip local forces into a cohesive unit to fight with as well as using the area as a launching point for their own missions.
The US Army has 4 units that are considered elite, in order US Army Rangers, US Army Green Berets, and Delta Force (who has used more then a dozen different names). The 4th is the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment known as SOAR or the Nightstalkers. The Navy has Special Warfare Combat Combatants and US Navy SeALS. The Air Force has the Special Tactics Squadron, the Pararescue Jumpers and the Tactical Air Control Party. The Marines have the Raiders and Force Recon.
I didn’t know all this that’s cool are you enlisted?
To add on to this, the Rangers are a purely direct action unit, meaning they take the fight to enemy with raids, ambushes, air field seizures, etc. Delta Force is like the NZ SASR, meant for hostage rescue and other highly specialized missions. 70% of Delta Operators come from the Rangers, the rest out of Special Forces and other units.
The Coast Guard has DOG (Deployable Operations Group), just to give credit across the board.
Don't forget about the Air Force PJ's
@@johndessoye He mentioned the Pararescue Jumpers.
What isn't mentioned is the previous week, Leroy, the friend he left behind, saved Roy's life when he was on a recon mission and his buddy got wounded.
You should watch his speech in 1991, he details the story better than the animated version. He was a friend of my Papi. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Green Beret is a special force in the US Army. Navy has the Seals, Army has Green Berets. 🙂
The Marines have Raiders, the Air Force have Combat Controllers, and the Coast Guard have MSSTs
The Air Force also has Para Rescue
@@michaelschemlab Thank you! I have never heard of any of those... I've wondered about it before but never looked it up because I'm lazy. Good to know! Have a fantastic 4th! 🇺🇸🦅
Green Beret is specifically Army SF
The US also has a force known as R.A.N.G.E.R.S. or shell I say the "US 75th infantry ARMY RANGERS", that can date there fighting tactic as far back as the 1600.
He was an absolute beast! Yall should look into Audie Murphy next. Having served in the same unit that he did in the prior, I got to learn so much about him! He even portrayed himself in a movie!
Yes, I agree. He was another hero that I believe needs to be honored & remembered. Thank you, again, for reminding g us as you learn!
Absolutely, another Texan, the most decorated soldier of WW2
A few more:
David Hackworth
Leek Major
Adrian Carton De Wiart
Robert Howard
David Hackworth and Robert Howard received
8 Purple Hearts each.
That should be Lee Major.
Thanks for reacting to this great Man...He has been one of my favorite hero`s for over 50 years.
Roy was a true Texan born and raised. There are men like him in small towns all over the state!
And in other states as well
@@joewiley62 Yep, all states have strong men, American's have VERY strong and tough heroes. They just need the proper opportunities to show what they are made of.
Es mexicano no texano de hecho fue condecorado por México
Don't know if they made a movie about Roy but, they did make one about Desmond Doss in 2016 called "Hacksaw Ridge" who, as a conscientious objector and a highly religious man, went into battle UNARMED and still was awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry under fire.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that... That movie was crazy, Desmond is a legend! He didn't believe in guns or killing people. Really, truly an amazing man of God.
Glad you showed the story of this hero on our independence day🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
NOT ONLY DID HE WALK AGAIN HE WENT ON TO BECOME ARMY SPECIAL FORCES. Which is a top tier Operator, 2 years of training. Roy was my idol, I tear up every time I hear about his story.
My dad served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and served two tours in Vietnam. His Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was mechanic. He repaired tanks and retrieved non-operational tanks during combat. He applied to be a door gunner for the choppers but was told his MOS made him too valuable as the death rate of the door gunners was extremely high.
His callsign Tango Mike Mike is the military phonetic alphabet; here they meant That Mad Mexican! U.S. Army Special Forces, aka Green Berets, are at their most basic mission to be what is called force multipliers. The classic Operational Detachment A-Team (ODA-A) is composed of 12-men: a Captain in command, a Special Forces Warrant Officer second in command, a master sergeant (E-8) team sergeant, and then nine remaining Sergeants of varying ranks who represent different skills: light & heavy weapons, demolitions, medical, communications, intelligence, engineering. The team can have two of each specialty, plus there is cross-training. The general concept is to train indigenous forces, thus the many skills needed. But direct-action and reconnaissance missions are also performed. Some may recall the movie "12 Strong" about the SF unit that went into Afghanistan immediately to work with the Northern Alliance against the Taliban. They serve primarily as advisors, but also then have access to air strikes and other power the local forces typically don't have. In this video, notice the troops in contact were a patrol 3 Americans and 9 native Montagnards. The first Green Berets into Vietnam were referred to as Advisors.
I met Roy in the early 1980s at a change of command ceremony in San Antonio. Didn’t know his full story for years after, but was thrilled to meet him, and he was wearing his Medal of Honor.
Roy was an exceptional soldier no doubt but few rise to his level of dedication.
There are many stories of heroic men like this in Vietnam that we will never know one being my uncle who served 4 combat tours with the 3rd Marine Division 1965-69 was shot 3 times in three different battles. He was a true American hero and my hero. Rest in peace Tio
RIP to your Tio and all other unknown American heroes!!!!
Growing up in Texas, near El Campo we were definitely taught about him as a kid. He was an amazing man.
My 12 year old and I have watched this video so many times. Gives me chills still to hear this man's determination and bravery. Most overlooked story to be made into a movie, ever!
This inspirational legend was from San Antonio, my home town. I got to see him a few times when I was a kid and met him once. He was one of the most motivational speakers I ever heard.
Thank you My NZ Family for sharing your reactions to this one. From Oklahoma with love.❤ Have a happy 4th🎉
That guy was Superman!! What a hero!! True American & unbelievable survival!! ❤️❤️❤️
Master Sergeant Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez is a true American hero and I was pleased to watch this on the 4th of July. More people should be educated about the sacrifices others have made for them. RIP Master Sergeant!
Benevidez's call sign "Tango Mike Mike" stands for That Mean Mexican.
Great reaction, and, yeah, probably a bit much for the kids. But what do I know? I read stories by Edgar Allan Poe when I was 5 or 6.
Such an amazing story. He was an amazing human being. He deserved his Medal of Honor for sure. Most recipients die in the process, but those who survive are revered in military circles. His story deserves to be better known, absolutely.
Green Berets, also more properly known as Special Forces are the rough equivalent of SAS. They're trained a little differently, with more emphasis on interaction with indigenous personnel, but the physical requirements are similar.
@@cp368productions2 No they are officially known as US Army Special Forces. Green Beret is just a colloquial term. The Special Forces tab can only be worn by soldiers who qualified for the Green Beret.
@@cp368productions2 Also, they ARE technically the only units designated as Special Forces. Other elite units are SOF, special operations forces.
God bless our veterans I appreciate them so much and have the utmost respect for all of them there my heros RIP to Roy he's name will forever live on
Growing up in the early seventies a friend and neighbor of mine’s brother was a Green Beret and I remember one time we filled a 5 gallon bucket with gravel from the side of the road. He stood over it and came down with his first right in the center and the bucket split basically exploded from him hitting it. That is something I never forgot. He passed away a few years ago from cancer that my friend told me they think he got from agent orange. He had so many medals that my friend got after his death that I got to see. They are unlike any you will know and the strength they have from their training is unreal, they are not to be messed with unless you have a death wish.
I've been familiar with MSG. Benavides incredible story for years. I was hoping the Army would rename Fort Hood in his honor. That didn't happen, it was renamed Fort Cavazos after another amazing soldier. That does nothing to lessen the exploits, this incredible soldier achieved. Salute to MSG Roy Benavides.
A true American Hero!
I was so hoping you guys would do this video!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Green Beret is the army’s best of the best. My dad was one. R.I.P pops 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I really enjoy this series. The family videos are great too but it's cool to see you guys reacting to stuff just the two of you. Can't wait for the next one
Truth be told. This is the first time I heard of this hero's story. God Bless Him and God Bless America!
Happy independence day!!
Love you Zedders!
May the 4th of July be with you.
🇺🇸♥️🇳🇿
You are our brothers and sisters and distant cousins.
Remember that.
Funny, but worth mentioning. . .
My fiancé is a United States Marine, and he has received 2 Purple Hearts. He’s been through hell… beyond the atrocity of combat, he has suffered. He has been stabbed through the abdomen with the enemy’s bayonet, he has suffered TBI (traumatic brain injury) amongst many other things. He would do ANYTHING for ANYONE, whether he knows you personally, or not.
Knowing all this, I started this video and asked him, “hey babe, what’s a Green Beret?”
His response went a little something like this…
*eye roll*
“Guh… it’s the damn Army, babe.”
😂😂😂 Brothers in arms, yet there is ALWAYS a competition! Kills me to my core 😂
He’s a great sport and he genuinely loves your videos. If you ever make it to the Great Lakes, we would be honored to host your entire family.
Much love, and we’re thankful for the solid content ❤
You should look up his speech. He gave speeches and even though he talked about what actually happened, he was able to do it in an entertaining way, it will even make you laugh st points in his speech.
Back in the 60s there was a hit song, The Ballad of the Green Berets, by Barry Sadler, which gives an idea of how the Green Berets saw themselves, as Sadler was an active-duty Green Beret himself at the time. This was during the Vietnam conflict, when a lot of people in the peace movement had a pretty bad image of the military in general, and the army sent Sadler out to perform his song on TV in full uniform as a public relations measure.
I went to school with his children and knew him and his children. Very nice man and a true patriot. I remember seeing him receiving the medal live in school. It took so long for him to receive the medal cause I believe cause the government need an eye witness to the events that happen. A guy living in a different country read a article on it. He was there and wrote a letter of the accounts and Roy had received his medal.
Greetings from Grants Pass, OR! Green Berets are Army Special Forces. Hope you had a Happy 4th!
Unbelievable!!! What a fantastic man and HERO!!! Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
I met Roy twice, once a few months before he passed away. A helluva man!!
Now I know where RAMBO came from...unbelievable!❤
Roy Benavidez spoke at my PLDC graduation at Fort Drum, NY in 1995. I had purchased his autobiography not more than a week or two before I went to the school and had no idea I would meet the man himself. Unbelievably nice guy, and modest as could be.
We don't have "COMRADES",,, We have Brothers in arms!...
Damn straight!!
A memorial and statue to Benavidez stands in my home town in Texas right across the street from the High School next to the city park. He was born in Lindenau, a small rural area right outside of Cuero (pronounced KWhere-Oh) - a small town of about 8,000 people.
I know I’m a month late, but the Green Berets are Special Forces! My dad was a Green Beret! The 5th Special Forces Group, which is an Airborne Unit that’s been around since the 1960s. Multiple movies feature the Unit such as “The Green Berets” starring John Wayne, Apocalypse Now, Rambo, and 12 Strong. They’re even in videogames like Ghost Recon and Call of Duty. Amazing group of soldiers, and my dad was proud to have been part of it.
Thank you for the video!! That man right there is the reason I became a Green Beret.. US Army Special Forces!!!
The Green Berets are the US Army 5th Special Forces Group. Their purpose is counterinsurgency operations, and development of local assets. That is they infiltrate enemy territories and train friendly locals on how to help fight said enemy. That said, there's more of them than there is call for that particular duty so they often do other things.
Tango Mike Mike would be a MUST SEE movie. RIP legend. Great reaction
Guys like this guy, deserve to be immortalized by MATTEL as a G.I.JOE action figure.
His code name could be "Tango Mike Mike," and he could be described as one tough Texan.
His code name Tango Mike Mike (TMM in the military phonetic alphabet), stood for the nickname his follow soldiers had given him: "That Mean Mexican."
I am sure someone explained but in case: a green beret is specisl forces. Each branch of military -arm, navy, ect has its elite - the special forces. Like navy's is the seals. Green beret is army.
You should really listen the the classic american song - the ballad of the green beret. It celebrates these men's devotion
If you're an enlisted soldier who'd like to become a Green Beret, though, you must:
Have a pay grade of at least E-3.
Be able to get a secret clearance.
Be airborne qualified - or volunteer for the training.
Have an ASVAB general technical score of at least 110.
Serve for at least 36 months after graduating from training.
Being multi lingual also helps.
Imagine...your personnel clerk gets mad at the higher-up because they made awards given based off rank. So he changed the gender of everyone. I was hounded for a couple of months by special forces. Then they figured out I was female...so when I made Sargeant they asked if I was willing to think about it. Oh and their chow at Ft Bragg was the best one on post.
He wasdelta force a bit different from regular green beret
Green Berets are U.S. Special Forces. People often confuse SF with SOF, Special Operations, which are Rangers, and Navy SEALs, Pararescue and some others. Then you have tier 1 groups, which are another level entirely.
All of them are under SOF
@@ensporium8857 Right.
Every Medal Of Honor winner has a crazy story like that, and almost all of them are just as modest about it.
Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Green Berets are army special forces and they train at Fort Bragg North Carolina.
They don't make them like they used to. That kind of mental fortitude is so rare. But honestly go through all of the American Medal Of Honor recipients and it's unbelievable the things these men did to protect their brother's in arms. Hearing each of their stories you just can't help but feel humbled by men like Roy Benavidez.
My dad is a retired SF guy (Green Beret) Green Berets are the special forces for the Army ( Seals are special forces for the Navy) The main differences is the Seals are a mote direct action SF team. GREEN Berets have a wider scope and are know as a force multiplier...meaning they go in for months at a time before the general public know anyobe is there. They figure out friend from foe's amoung the indeginious ppl and trian them to fight. In Vietnam they had the yards...similar to our native americans. A 12 man tram would break into pairs of 2 with 6-8 yards meaning that 1 -12 man team became 6 - 8/10 man treams. You ought to watch his speech! Its 30 min long which is an eternity on youtube but he is such a good speaker you wont notice the time! Great reaction!
My father was a Special Forces Green Beret Team Leader. He led teams of men to bring the Prisoners of War back home. Rambo is based on Roy and others like my father.
I hold my hat in my hand when I hear the name Roy Benavidez.
What a true warrior and hero !
Thanks.
Got that right 👍
Sam & Natalie - Please look for the video called:
"Sgt Barry Sadler - Ballad of the Green Berets 1966"
My dad was Air Force in the 50's and I was born in 1960. (Today, July 4th is my 63 Bday.)
The grade school I attended as a young lad had a music program that was mandatory for every student. We learned all the military songs and even performed for our parents after a PTA meeting sometimes. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. Thunder only happens when it's raining...
I met Roy Benavidez many years ago. He did motivational speaking for American troops. Great speaker. RIP
I had the honor of meeting Master Sergeant Benavidez in 1986. I was star struck. He was such a humble man and, like many Medal of Honor recipients, never considered himself a hero. One of the most memorable experiences of my military service was saluting him.
Another amazing hero you should look at is the actor Audie Murphy. He was the most decorated American soldier in WWII. In fact he is still the most highly decorated soldier in US history. His exploits are made even more impressive when you consider that he was only 5 feet 5 inches tall {165cm} and slightly built. And, at 19 years old held the rank of 2nd lieutenant. He played himself in the movie TO HELL AND BACK.
Audie Murphy story was taught/told when I was in k-12. Had not heard of Roy until this video!
Roy Benavidez lived in my now ex-wife's hometown and we lived there from 1980 to 1990. In this small town, Roy could often be seen jogging , and wore short shorts with a T-shirt. There was not a square inch on his arms and legs that was not horribly scarred, and yet, there he was, jogging around town.
The Green Berets are the colloquial name for the US Army Special Forces. Their expertise is in counterinsurgency, demolitions, behind enemy lines deployment, extreme survival, amongst other things.
To give you an example of a Green Beret mission: deploy behind enemy lines and meet with a faction known to be hostile to the enemy. Arm them, train them and then lead them into battle. This is of course extremely dangerous and once discovered, a Green Beret operator's life would be forfeit. They often have to survive in areas with little to no logistical support, they usually have to communicate with locals in their own language and then they have to train and lead these insurgents into daring operations, while still deep inside enemy territory.
If that all sounds hard...yeah, it is.
Congratulations on your exceptional video! You have a true gift for entertaining and educating your audience. Keep up the remarkable work!
Perfect video for the 4th of July...what an incredible story. Words fail to describe this gentleman's efforts to save his friends.
When I was going through school in early 70's thru mid 80's I was only taught about Audie Murphy and all of the super-hero stuff he did in WW2. I had never heard of this story until now and thanks for you and everyone else who suggested it. Thanks to those who informed about all the different units from each: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, & Navy as I think most Americans have never known of all these specialist forces we have in U.S. You really should do a video about your own New Zealand guys.
Green beret is a section of army which do reconissance and hostage rescue they are classed as SF they used to be at fort louis washington and to even try out you have to pass a gruelling selection which is similar to Marsoc marines or react to Delta force some of best of the best
His MOH was well deserved. And what is more important, he throughout his life, said he was never a hero.
Funnily enough, every story of the MOH or even the Victorian Cross (British) tend to be very similar in that they are all more sureal than can be believed.
This guys a true hero -- another hero you need to check out is the incredible story of AUDIE MURPHY-!! Hes a true legend as well and deserves recognition as well.
My dad did three tours in Vietnam in the Marines and had mortar shrapnel and a grenade hit him. He still had four pieces of metal in his arm and back for 30 years until he got cancer around a couple of the pieces and they finally removed them. They just stitched him up in the field, and they went on. No choice.
Roy Benavidez, the living embodiment of the phrase "I didn't hear no bell!"
Great review - thank you.
Love love love your channel. Just to let you know, had to turn my volume up from 30 to 70 in order to hear the video you addressed today. Love to all of you.
A little history for you.
The Medal Of Honor is the highest award given to US military members. It's been awarded 3535 times with 19 people being awarded it twice.
Only 65 people who have received the MOH are living today. Military tradition dictates that all uniformed service members salute Medal of Honor recipients, regardless of rank. Even the most senior military officer will participate in this tradition out of respect for the sacrifices the recipients made.
Most people who are awarded the medal do not survive the events that grant the medal.
All of their stories have the flavor of superhuman effort and sacrifice.
I second the audie-murphy next
A WWII hero for sure and then became an actor starring in his own story
The movie is To Hell and Back
I actually met Mr. Benividez when travelling on a flight from DFW to Albuquerque, NM. Yes I shook his hand he was a real hero and was awarded the Medal Of Honor for his actions.
He spoke at my school a long time ago. Great man!! Peace, Love!!
I had the honor of knowing him & serving in the us army special forces.
He was a humble man, who went around to schools and service organizations giving motivational speeches. He was very proud to earn the Green Beret, as am I.
There was a movie I watched as a kid staring John Wayne about the Green Berets. It was during the Vietnam War and called The Green Berets.I'm not sure how good a movie it really was. But it was one of my favorites as a kid.
The speech he gave in his older age is great.
That "group" he went in to save we're members of MACV-SOG. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, Studies and Observations Group. If you need a rabbit hole to go down, that's a hell of a rabbit hole. Jacko Willink has a great episode about Lynne "Black Jack" Black.
I leaned about Benavides at Fort Knox Kentucky in 2003. The live fire obstacle course is named after him. First time soldiers are exposed to live fire and explosions all around as they have to navigate the obstacles.
Sgm. was a family friend..He was a great man. Rome Loya From San Antonio Texas
Rambo was loosely framed around him the green headband and the Bowie Knife should’ve been the things ppl picked up
I was with the 82nd. At fort bragg. I spent two years in vietnam. Today I celebrate america's birthday. I love my flag and I love my country. God bless united states of america.❤❤
MACVSOG is the most badass group in history. These guys went in behind enemy lines in places we weren't supposed to be with small 6-10 man teams. There is a great podcast series called sogcast with real sog members from Vietnam. There's also lots of books written by former team members. The best I've found are "we few" and "wispers in the tall grass" by nick brokhausen. They are absolutely incredible true stories
Green Beret's are Army Special Forces. And congat's on a New Zealander won the NASCAR race in Chicago yesterday.
One of the greatest Americans of our times ! It doesn't matter where your life begins un the USA you can achieve any thing you can dream . He loved his fellow countrymen so much he could not be stoped, Thats damn fine American !
There is a video of Roy receiving the Medal of Honor and Roy gives a speech. Good
There is currently a movie in the works about this badass Texan.
He’s a true Texan ! We’re all very proud of our hero’s !
A true American badass and a son of Texas he was amazing he used to go around to schools in Texas and talk to kids about staying in school and doing your best.
