    I know a marine that killed a kid that had a toy gun. After he killed him his mom ran out crying, he feel to his knees next to the kid and mother screamed and cried. The mother ended up comforting my friend while he was begging for mercy towards the mother. To this day he really struggles and I try to help him and let it out.

    Dear Shawn, I’ve heard several references to you being in that “I fucked up kinda” situations, noticed it from several interviews with SO guys. This guy blew his nose up, last one I recall was dude losing his gun in the surf. Id like to know your real situation of thT. I’ve heard you make references to deploying your light instead of laser by accident. Was that one of your f ups that’s was just straight noticeable or w😅as something else that sticks out? That stuff intrigues me soo much tot not make that mistake if my sons or I’m ever in that situation. You Mr. Ryan is super interesting and I’d like to hear your similar experiences in these interviews. I don’t look at it as egos and who’s story is better or whatever (that might be why u don’t?) but I’d just like to know and hear about it both experiences when hearing your interviews, especially with SEALs and other SO people. The trippy stuff I can tell my kids but I never did suit up for the shit you men did and I love to hear EVERYTHING about it. 3hour or 10 hour interviews, I’ll watch , listen and learn!

    It's nice he showed restraint, unlike the Delta operators that were onsite as advisors in Waco. According to congressional testimony, they placed shape charges on the vault where the women and children were hiding, attempting to escape the CS gas being pumped into the building. It was explained that the tactic of using shape charges on a concrete bunker or vault was not to gain entry, but to kill anyone inside, so any of the 25 children not killed by the CS were killed by the blast. It was also Delta operators that can be seen on the IR footage, shooting into the building to kill anyone that attempted to escape the fire through the gymnasium.
    I used to hold special operations forces in high regard, but the more I learn about their willingness to kill US citizens without cause, the less respect I have for them (including the DEVGRU operators that participated in a raid that killed an 8 year old female US citizen in early 2017).

    It's crazy to see how these delta force operators have more compassion for a foreign enemy than our own law enforcement does for the people they're supposed to protect. If a cop sees a gun, they will empty their clips in you, maybe even multiple, even if you're within your rights exercising your 2nd amendment. We really do have a tyrannical police force and they must be defunded and disbanded if they're going to shoot you and your dog for exercising your rights.

    • @stevebean1234
      @stevebean1234 8 місяців тому

      Our law enforcement has very little training. As the police become less popular and less funded, they’re probably not attracting professionals nor supporting the development of well rounded men.
      Plus, violence on the street can be a lot harder to predict than violence in a war zone.
      Anyway, I am very upset when I hear stories like the police response to Tamir Rice and Breonna Taylor. But the police also have a hard job and don’t have the funding or training Delta does.
      I do wish humanity as a whole could improve though.

      @@Motorman2112 My point isn't about the actual age of the suspect. When you are looking down the sights at a combatant who is armed are they simply demonstrating threat? Somewhere on the YT world is a video where ISIS had taken it's young kids, armed them, trained them and then sends them into a building to clear it where unarmed POWS were planted for target practice. These kids were 10-14 yo and were well rehearsed in movement and the use of their weapons. They had zero hesitation in killing their unarmed practice targets. As @theshittybowman said above, "We are told we are allowed to defend ourselves." I am glad to hear it. But, are our troops TRAINED in the mindset to take out kids. When american soldiers are given their virtual scenarios or livefire training are targets generated that are women and children and threats?
