INSIDE THE GREEN BERETS
Вставка

- In a remote outpost in south-central Afghanistan, 24 Americans work to ‘pacify’ a hostile river valley the size of Rhode Island.
They are Green Berets: U.S. Army Special Forces charged with battling the Taliban and Al Qaeda while winning the hearts and minds of locals who often see the Americans as simply the latest of a string of invaders dating back centuries.
The Pentagon normally limits media embeds with Navy SEALs and Green Berets to 48-hours. The Hoggard team was given 10 days in the combat zone to chronicle the lives of these war-hardened Special Force troopers.
But in the dead of night, on a distant Afghan ridge, the trip is cut brutally short, leaving 8 Green Berets and two of our film crew dead or wounded in the worst mass casualty event to date for Special Forces in Afghanistan.
30 years old and the captain in charge of a contingent of Green Berets. What an intense responsibility. So many 30 year olds nowadays still live with mom and have the maturity of a 15 year old
RDA8191 and he seems like a good man too. Respected by his soldiers.
Yes , so true, everyone has his cross to bear.
Sorry for my english , iam from croatia.
Too right!!
I'm pretty sure most 30 Yr olds don't live with their mum
@Yuri Mendes triggered because he just described you
when you see tough guys like them weeping, you get sense how hard it is when your brother in arms dies at your sight
And you can't do anything about it.
easter3000 and that's the hardest part. A friend dying in and of itself is hard but the fact that in war sometimes you cannot do any thing to stop it. That's the hardest part
THEY AINT TOUGH THEY SHOOT AT FARMERS AND BOMB KIDS
No they do not. They shoot at terrorist and the people that killed millions of friends and family on 9/11. That's who they are shooting at.
i dont think millions died in 9/11 but still bad
Rest in peace to those brave men.
Chi
Yea no kidding
ONLY AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE HEROES? WHAT ABOUT THE VIETNAMESE BRAVE MEN WHO FOUGHT AMERICAN AGGRESSION?
😂
@@thiggins5734why lol
You really gotta admire a guy like the sergant medic. How many cats do you know that would leave a multi million dollar company to fight a war.
Dorsey m just thinking about this. Dude is truly, greatly fucking awesome.
whiteboy magic what the fuck are you talking about man .
whiteboy magic ok,well,couple things: 1) I take it you think I'm a black guy ? I'm not. I'm white.2) I don't agree with you.but that is your opinion. plenty of white guys do it just for the money as well. and 3) if you really are a vet (this is the internet..i may be a cowboy astronaut) then thank you for your service. probably a marine,right.
I thought it was billion money ain't nothing man when comes to our country
That was so wierd as i read your comment thats when he said that part. I love our troops and everyone who means well
30 years old captain of green berets that needs to be respected really Thanks for serving the country
All ODA commanders are around that age. It's a very strict timeline of around two years and out.
@@TurfDoe
Out as in separation?
@@nonnegotiable2777 No, once an officer completes his ODA commander time they will typically go on to a staff position such as an assistant battalion S3 or company XO. Once they are promoted to major they will be company commanders, etc.
I'm scared more are gonna get killed since they started lowering the standards. Hell imagine a 30 year old soccer mom Captain trying to cut a deal with some of those village elders they'd laugh her out of the building. Most places they operate in have zero respect for women's rights yet they have no plan on how to deal with that.
@@rc59191
One 80s graduate completed the course and one 2020 graduate fully passed, except the 80s graduate wasn't officially marked as graduating.
Both women absolutely had to meet all the male standards.
The most heart breaking scenario is when at the end of the video there will be some guys missing from the beginning of the video. Staring at a photo with all of your guys together smiling can make you smile but knowing that some of them in photo are gone can be a very hard feeling to overcome.
true
I worked with a guy who refused to have his picture taken when on Ops.
Rum Nikori Official hi
jonathan white pictures hold souls bro. It’s taboo to take pictures on deployments
You are right bro

We’re all brothers in arms. We’re in it together. Thank you
That's my "brother" by service I was there with him I missed him so much but can't do anything to bring him back
@@khounchailinlavong6089 We understand brother. We live now for our friends who cannot. R.L.T.W./A.T.W.
@@khounchailinlavong6089 Chai this is Rod. You held it down for us at the FOB. Thanks for stepping up and looking out for us. I'll never forget. Look me up on FB.
@@hectorrodriquez8785 brother there's to many with your name will take me forever to find you
30 years old, successful with a nice paying job and a degree... He chooses to be a green beret instead. Wow. That is the definition of a green beret. Not just brute, not just muscle, but highly intelligent. Remarkable.
seeing those men standing next to that casket really hit home. too often are soldiers depicted as nothing more than mindless drones with a gun and people forget that in the end they are still only human. they feel pain, they feel guilt, they feel emotions that are only capable in combat that most of us will never come to understand or have to cope with ourselves. i shed a tear with them today for a man i never knew. thank you to all that have served and those that will serve. i will be joining all of you very soon.
seanchancho Very well said. Good luck to you.
Good luck man
KnappTime me too
God Bless
Good luck to you young man if you boys actually followed through with your brave words my friend because it’s a life altering experience that has its positive and negative impacts! God bless America! Never Quit! 🙏🇺🇸
Seeing that Humvee blown up at 13:05 was a real shock to me. I was on the CH-47 that came in to pick that Humvee up and take it to Tarin Khout.
Did you manage to save anyone? Doesn’t look like anyone could survive that blast. Thank you for your service though.
Διρhα No, unfortunately all were casualties.
Jeremy Espil Terrible...huge respect to you though, you tried your best. RIP to the fallen.
@@jeremyespil6297 That must've been horrible and the scariest thing.. But thank you so much for your service, Those soldiers are in a better place now. RIP.
@@ddrokstr What is actually more scary, to me, is that they were watching us the whole time.
*"So uh...if we get blow'd up we get blow'd up....if we don't we don't."*
that guy is kind of funny. The SF guys are all very intelligent, mild mannered, and professional. every squad needs a southern grunt or else it isn't the army
@@Benaddicted11trkfbal LOL.
I was a grunt in the Marine Corps more than a few years ago, and watching these guys work- damn, they are hard chargers. And these guys aren’t doing it like the line companies where you’re surrounded by 17-21 year olds, you’ve got guys who are young in civilian years and prime in military years who are bringing a lot of experience with them. It’s really amazing watching a small unit operating so tight. There are only a couple of other sections of two other branches that operate this high speed. (SEALs, Force Recon/MARSOC,etc) These guys are on point and they know how to think.
You should of done recon brother
@@satiivaindiica lol dork
@@satiivaindiica Oh hell no. 🤣🤣🤣 When I enlisted and hadn’t shipped off to boot, I was all gung-ho and pie-in-the-sky about the idea of going Recon or STA, but by the time I hit SOI, I was off of that kick. More field time, less sleep, more weight on your back and longer humps more frequently? I had to pass on that. 🤣🤣🤣
I had an opportunity to go to BRC and an opportunity to do a STA indoc and a few friends who did go that route said that they liked the small unit dynamic much better than the line companies, but I didn’t feel like either would have been the right choice at the time and I don’t regret not doing it.
The average person just cannot understand how grueling the physical aspect alone of being a grunt is (not including the other aspects) and I still have a hard time believing some of the shit we’d do when training, and I cannot even begin to imagine how grueling the training for STA or Recon would be. I’ve seen some of those Recon guys train and I was pretty blown away by how sharp, fast and on point they were. Good lord.
War is horrible, no matter on which side you are.
blame the discovery of explosive powder...
Gotta blame China for discovering fireworks /S
blame the curiosity, alchemy.
BLAME HUMANITY
Hayashi Shirou
blame the rothschilds and there desire to rule and have POWER. and people like the bush and clintons that have been accused of being pedophiles and murders drug runners. but I can't state that they are because the last persons that did are in jail for slander. what does that say?
May God bless all who have gave the ultimate sacrifice.
What sacrifice??
Mohammad Fairos their lives
Daddy, i understand what you guys mean. But you should read my comments on this post too.
their lives, they give their lives to help those who are oppressed. Potentially establishing democracy in other areas of the world whom do not a system of government like we do. The caliphate is nothing, if you make the people self reliant.
And to repair the issues we caused, but this war is a phycological war more than any. Thanks to the Army SF we can show people another life other than the caliphate or radical shuni philosophy, Sharia law falls in there as well.
RIP to the men who died.
🇺🇸
Green berets are such a unique sort of people because they understand the true essence of SF ,they are intelligent ,well organised,calm and (most surprisingly for a elite soldiers like them) are humble! -not pursuing after fame and glory like much of the Seals...they can switch between a peaceful negotiator to a capable soldier in moments which I think is very impressive.
I'm Russian and i know our leaders not in the best of terms and i don't agree with US politics myself but i can't not to have at least respect for those guys ,whatever you do the right thing or the wrong thing some times it's enough for a soldier to THINK and believe he's doing the right thing..
respect!
These guys are unique. Talented, fit, ambitious, educated and intelligent. That one guy left a multi-million business back in home to join this special group of professionals. Tells something.
What makes you say that Seals seek glory?
Master Hitman your kidding right? The 50 movies and 10,000 books where they tell the whole world how great they are. A belief held only by the seals themselves and no other group in the military.

I finished watching this documentary 15 minutes ago, have tears in my eyes, trying to find the words to express my heart ache over the lost lives but I just can't. I'm just one person, but I'll never forget them.
😂 i’m sure You’ve forgot
Me too. Finished like 2 minutes ago and am in tears. This documentary costed the life of 2 men.
This is a great video, it really displays parts of war that the normal civilian doesn't know about.
Man is that heartbreaking, brings tears to my eyes when you see them paying respects....truly some of the greatest men and women America has to offer
Great piece! Much respect and thanks to the men that selflessly serve and to the film crew for working to share part of the story we rarely see. Hugs and hand pounds.
Man. Green Beret really really have it rough. It’s their responsibility to bring stability to the entire region, almost an impossible task if not impossible, outright. So much love, admiration and respect to those men and women
Definitely was not possible, but they did their best. We all did our best...at least some of us did. Some of us made matters worse, from all over NATO.
Wow! a truly humbling experience. These guys redefine courage, honour and dignity. God bless you all for your endless work
and sacrifice. ❤
Been looking for this documentary for so long thankyou
That one dude rockin his patrol cap on the mission...haha love it 😂. Hella envious as an former 11B
"We are humans" 😭
So blessed to know these awesome guys are intelligent enough to keep peace, aside being badass soldiers! Bless them all 💪 and rip those who perished 😢
I am in awe of these men!!!! Truly inspirational I pray for each off them and hope they all have a long and successful career
We need more of these in-depth documentaries of these brave men and what they do. Im so grateful for their sacrifice and courage.
These brave men were fighting for our country and deserve nothing less than to Rest In Peace. God bless our fallen comrades and brothers🙏🏼
Wow this video was published right on the day I got out of the service! Good documentary btw
Wonderful documentary. I wish more would see this.
Thank you for your service gents. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much.
Why am I just only now discovering all these amazing documentaries like this, thanks algorithm
Powerful documentary... well done!!! 🙏🏼💞
xXxXxCGPBxXxXx xxx

good luck on your journey to become a special ops soldier. Confidence is everything.

It took me 2 years to get through the course

@Hi Hi yeah so am I hope he’s not dead god rest his sole as he not replied to you
i am from belgium , but am thankfull to have U.S soldiers doing this hard work

Thank you for your service
Brave and tough ppl they r, i was a linguist and almost lost my live in a suicide Attack back in 2012 , been hit with shrapnel on my left leg and heavy bolt stuck in my body armor from the blast and was so lucky that didn’t hit me,
Thank you for your Service, Sir.
This is hard to watch. Thank you and God bless them all
I’ve watched this 5 or 6 times on different channels. Can’t get enough of this doc.
I'm afghan boy I salute those American soldiers and the whole Nato out there cause they're are the hope to protect our land I'm sure there will be no chance again for taliban to take a breath in to that valley
Bryan Amerson Finally someone who understands, i hope u guys stay safe over there with our soldiers over there. Hopefully we will get the taliban out ans you can return to your normal life! You Afghan people deserve it, you have been living in a warzone while my safe ass stays in bed. Love from U.S.A.! Stay safe
Franklinn Roes you are sick jerk
32 gullible fools have already fallen for his bullshit, No need to tell you how I know but he isn't from Afghanistan. You should be ashamed of yourself Samme Josh.
Mutant Rank you gullible little fuck, here's one of the give aways he's talking shit. Samme is a Nordic name. Google it because I know you have no fucking idea what it means.
That's some good 'ole Yankie Doodle education at work for you. Braving the distant frontiers to teach some "afghan boy" english and all about the "whole Nato" situation and keeping those Afghan ISP's in tip top, UA-cam broadcasting condition.
My favorite NCO of all time is in this video... much respect to you. Honor to have served with you.
Hope his still alive
@@rhyme1752 Ain't no killing men like him. He may not be here, but he ain't dead. I am here.
My condolences to the families. Thank you for your service. Be safe out there people. Love to all
Thank you so much for your service.
Thank you for sharing.
These men are the very esscense of what it means to be an American. As a combat veteran myself that served in the infantry. I was nothing compared to these men but I know from first hand. These men fight not for ideology but for true freedom of all mankind and mainly thier brothers side by side. As the leaders of the free world we have a responsibility, and we must hunt evil down where ever it resides and help those that aren't capable of defending themselves from thier oppressors. We must stand with them and fight side by side. These men in this video are truly giants among men. I have the utmost respect for my fellow veterans who have given thier hearts, souls, thier limbs, and thier lives for the cost of freedom for all of humanity. Thank you to those who serve this cause still, and to those who have in the past. I have an empty feeling in my heart knowing my military service is over and will never have that experience ever again, because my service to my country was the greatest and most meaningful thing that I will have accomplished in my life. I believe all men that have served in combat feel the most important thing that matters is brotherhood first in formost. I feel sorry for any man that will never know true brotherhood in this life.
Opinions of the war are various, but these men bravery and dedication is without controversy. They are as said many times in many places, " the tip of the spear ". May God bless them ,their families and all that serve everywhere!! I salute you my friends and brothers!
God bless every soul involved here. Thank you GBs... DOL
This deserves more views
RIP...long live the Green Berets
อะไรของมึงควาย...
Let's pray together and hope those missing heroes are able to return home!
These are real men in so many ways, they lead, they fight, they show love and passion. Bless these men for they are gods! God bless, and hurrah!
Excellent story telling .. It gives a real feeling of what they face with honor and bravery ... American hero's, every one of them ...
wow, very moving documentary.
This is the definition of “De Opresso Liber”
Awesome channel, awesome adventure videos !
So thankful for these men and everyone defending our country truly a blessing . God bless
A soon as I’m graduating imma join❤️
hows it going?
Thank you for your service and for protecting our freedom.
really the thought of those children being terrorized brings tears to my eyes.. ican only imagine what it's like for those innocent kids..
“Just taliban not people” i love that
Superheros without capes
Prayers for the families of the fallen heroes and I will say that every single soldier is a hero. With guts come glory.
Thank You for your service soldiers. You are the toughest out there! Stay safe so you can come home to your families and friends! Ty
Happy DVD everybody who's in the movie somebody with a smile. 😥 And good job interview men
47:10 watching some of the toughest men in the world weep for a fallen comrade is heart breaking
my heart and soul goes to all these guys serving our country........serving and honoring PEACE and RESPECT!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL and THEIR FAMILIES!!!!!!
To right brother
What a chilling doc!
I didn’t know we had teams so dedicated to truly helping the people re-liberate themselves. Surely having human faces with helping hands on the ground is 10x as effective as just sweeping through with a closed fist to crush resistance.
I am so sorry about the lost of this good soldiers RIP God bless you
Who could dislike? rest in paradise to all of them❤️💪
My grandfather did 4 tours in Vietnam as the Intelligence SGT of 2 different ODAs that I know of..... these guys are awesome
A video full of Heart-Warming, Heart-Breaking, and Patriotism. May those mentally and physically scarred, to those who do not live on. Find peace in life, and Valhalla.
Not many coalition units, if any, do what the US Green Berets do. Its such a unique, almost old school role. All SF units do an incredible job but these guys are quite remarkable. Today's Green Berets still operate in a way very very close to their roots
Can we drop the “football field” reference since most of us can relate to the number of yards distance..or meters which is used by the military
Thank all these heroes for their service 🙏🏾
So very sad and tragic.
Rest In Peace brave soldiers and filmmakers. God speed
Seeing these things tears me in half. I pick my MOS in two days. Ive been trying to convince myself for so long that i should pick an MOS that has civilian applications. So i can have a fall out. Because as much respect as many citizens have for the vets, many businesses will never hire someone without actual job experience. Then something else in me screams. Tells me to be a fighter for as long as I can until I die. To let go of all other attatchment. Because the path of the warrior is probably the most noble path I know. And really, in the end, Im just trying to run away from that path by telling myself Im ok with normal everyday work. But Im not. I believe Im going 18x after watching this. And if the paperwork doesnt clear, guess Ill see you grunts later

@@smellmyclock man, go away
Did it work out for you
i took my live so much for granted, and these AMERICAN WARRIORS are out there, not sleeping, not eating, not drinking just for my worthless selfish butt, i've got nothing but respect for all the warriors. may the lord lead you all and bless you.. thank you all bad*ss AMERICAN SOLDIERS!!!
Dom David Britain is more bad ass considering they have the best special forces in the world
well you could argue the fact that 1st SFOD-D (special forces operational detachment delta) or DEVGRU (United states navy special warfare development group) is just as effective if not a more effective special operations group than Britain's SAS or SBS which is who I'm assuming you're talking about.
These men and those like them make me so proud to be an American my heart could burst. God Bless and keep each and every one of you.
Dom David By the looks of it they are first hand trying to free the locals of the talibans terror.
KiketGamin no
In 2006 I went to Gryphon Group with their Team Leader Rob along with a bunch of other guys in B-1/3 right before we all left Fort Bragg for this deployment. Man, what a trip that was. Seems like an eternity ago...
This was so touching
When I see these young men, it gives me hope for this generation.
Jesus, I did not expect that ending. Either way I felt so bad for the soldiers who knew the victims, seeing them in grief at the ceremony.
My man Brad repping 315 on the bench like it's nothing
When you see the tough guys like them break down like that you know it isn’t easy over there
I’m incredibly proud as a Canadian to call the Americans my friends and allies. I ask God to bless those who are still serving and allow those who have paid the ultimate scarifies to Rest In Peace.
LOVE RESPECT TO THE G B FROM A USMC!!!!!!!!...

47:11 That was the casket of Corporal Isaiah Calloway, from 2nd Platoon C Co 1-4 Infantry, who was KIA during a firefight in the Zabul Province, not Sgt Kyu H. Chay.
God bless the ones who gave their lives in the middle east.
@God is the way exactly
I'm glad how they had a dedication at the end
Spartans through and through. I have nothing but respect and admiration for these men. Afghanistan is a forgotten war and that is unacceptable. The media won't even bring it up anymore and that is shameful
Merry Christmas to all soldiers.
Who else supports our army 💛💛
Of what kind is your support?
Its a bit over active but ok.

Thank You.

I really hope something was done about those afghanis in the pickup that set em up for the ied, damn that pisses me off
Are the ieds set off remotely or by pressure?
varun009 both exist
varun009 that was clearly set off remotely, first couple trucks drove over it.
U can fucking bet there was a rat in the group. Those guys are constantly worried about the afgani army and them setting them up
And, they set up the interpreter vehicle.....this was not random.
