The trading and gifting of patches is a powerful thing. Something that brings me great comfort deployed is knowing that if something bad happens, someone will come and get me and bring me home, alive or not.
It brought a tear to my eye. Those in the military who execute these rescue missions with precision and grace should be commended with the highest of honors. They truly are the winged angels descending from their little birds and blackhawks out of the heavens to answer their prayers. God Bless those brave men and God Bless the USA! 🇺🇸
As a Korean conscript, i have to say this is a luxury only Americans can afford... id die for america anyday if i knew id never be abandoned.
@@yormarmar3088 plus most western countries
@@adamatch9624 lol fucking not. Dont give too much prop to the west. Basiclaly nothing without US. Similar to that of Korea
@@yormarmar3088 this is a fascinating comment. If it’s not too much trouble would you mind expanding on it? Would Korea not rescue a citizen? Or am I misunderstanding? I apologized if I got any of this wrong.
This was three months after my brother, master sergeant Michael McNulty, was killed in combat in Iraq. He was part of Delta detachment, and had been for a while. He was killed on June 17, 2005, with another member of Delta detachment named Bob Hagen.
These are the people that give the enemy nightmares. My brother was one of them. I thank God every day that he was on our side.
Sorry for your loss. RIP.
Thank you for your brothers sacrifice & service. Love from NC, they are both heros.
Rangers lead the way son, even in the afterlife.
God bless your brother for his ultimate sacrifice. I salute him.
I think you mean Bob Horrigan RIP brothers🇺🇸💪🏼🙏🏼
That's gotta be a great feeling as an operator. Handing an American flag patch to an American being held hostage and getting him home to his family.
It's apparently some sort of Delta operator tradition to give the American hostage the American flag patch
It never ceases to amaze me the thousands of "little" stories like this of service members being absolutely badasses that go unrecognized by the American public. It's humbling and makes me sick at the same time.
I am thankful for this channel bringing stories like this to light.
Military worship is the reason why situations like this happen in the first place, that's why veterans become anti war, because they know the reality of what it really means.
We get a lot of flak as Americans... but I take comfort knowing that if I get nabbed somewhere in the world, they'll eventually come for me.
@ SG, Amen!
@@manticore4952
Is that so? And you are the self annointed spokesperson for all veterans? You don't speak for any veteran but yourself, if you are a veteran. And your assertion makes zero sense: people aren't kidnapped overseas due to people "worshipping the military". That's pure idiocy!
@@Ash12428
His point lacks any logic.
Delta is simply the best of the best. Simply awe inspiring. We owe these men more than can ever be repaid for doing things of which we will never know.
They haven't gotten as much public notoriety in the past few decades as SEALs. IMO this is intentional in an effort to maintain themselves as the quiet professionals. They previously went through dealing with many of the same things as SEALs are now such as getting public notoriety & serious issues within their units. They overcame these hurdles & improved. Hopefully the SEALs will do the same.
@@Ej-en2lz they are definitely better than the SAS. Any SAS guy will tell you that
Actually the CIA Special Activities Center Ground Branch is made up of the best of the best hand-picked Delta operators so they would be on an even higher level
@@KB-kw8ni it’s true I was in the SAD - source trust me bro

The editing and quality of your videos have increased drastically from what I noticed. It’s really making the videos more enjoyable to watch! (They already we’re). You’re definitely an inspiration for upcoming History channels like myself.
Editing is the real trick to youtube...i'm just starting out and learning it all myself.
@@Valorius Same here as well. Although my History channel is growing, I’m always trying to improve the quality of my videos.
@@expandedhistory Looks interesting, you got a new subscriber. If you're into shooting or homesteading stuff please feel free to check my channel out!
me : how tf you improve perfection
Liveth : (starts a debrief about my tactical takedown)
We need to talk about SOAR. The Night Stalkers always seem to be doing the flying for all the western special forces of many nations. Yet we kinda just mention them and move on. I like to hear more information about them, as they tend to be more secretive like delta force themselves.
i agree! there's an episode on Jocko's podcast, where he has one of the downed nighstalkers from the gothic serpent op. such an insane episode, but one critical thing i took out of it was how secretive the 160th are as a unit. i dont think any of the respective spec ops units go as far as 160th does to hide up their operations and personnel. truly quiet professionals
not true. its common to run into 160 guys at bragg.
@@paul123ggggggggg Ahh. Good thing we are all friends with them to discuss this stuff then......
@@k.t.1641 the whole secretive nature thing is over the top mythical stuff. especially about cag. like remarks, the government dosnt admit their existence. i was at bragg for 10 plus years and their HQ at that time was on long street and had a normal unit sign outside. they do not recruit secretly. each and every paratrooper who reaches e5 sgt will get an invitation to their recruit briefing held annually at degropper hall at bragg. i was airborne infantry with 3-325AIR and 2-508PIR. when i went out for my eib back in 99 we talked to them all the time. we play opfor for them at bragg and in the nevada desert dozens of times. i was the ncoic at the west point infantry course for two summers and the 160 guys participated to cross train their land nav.....with a bunch of kiddie cadets. the secretive thing has been dramatized. depending on your age, you can go join 160 or cag right now.
Look up Retired General Clay Hutmacher, he has been in many podcasts and interviews bring the 160th into light. You are correct, the night stalkers are just an amazing group.
The trading of the patch was a really nice touch. For such small objects they have so much meaning to the military.
The content is world class. Great video! I didn't know about Roy. As an American isn't it a shame his story isn't mainstream? Those Delta boys are heros!
@Nphekt Who said anything about special operations? Learn to read dude.
The greatest heroes
More of delta and DEVGRU !!
It's amazing how both Roy and Delta almost lost hope at the end but they kept going until the found each other
DAM THAT WAS EPIC!! You channel is so good. Thank you Delta Force!
one of the best channels out there straight to the point with a great direction and pictures included. Very easy to follow along great work and an amazing story.
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” ― George Orwell
Imagine being down there and hearing the freezer move. "Oh boy, here we go again. What are these assholes gonna do this time? Is this it for me?" and a fuckin' Operator hops down. After a year, I bet he lost all hope. None of us will ever feel anything close to what Roy felt that moment.
Imagine being Ahmed and relieved that Delta Force has shown up to save him only to hear "Not so fast, 'Ahmed'."
Glad that his situation was quickly recognised and he was rescued as well though. Could have ended a lot worse if the Delta operators weren't so professional.
Delta Force comes knockin on the door the enemy be shittin their pants!!
You're a better man than me if you don't shed a tear or two watching and listening to this reaccount of what took place. The bravery and professionalism of the warriors that rescued this man of faith who endured this living hell. He was living on prayers and hope of eventual rescue by AMERICA'S FINEST. God Bless our men and women in arms.
Amen!
Strong work SFOD-D! I also applaud the pilots of the 160th! Way to get it done.
Theres actually an interview with Roy that's on youtube where is shows the interviewer the flag that he received. Its worth looking up.
Them Delta Boys are just power ..
I have not ever caught a episode this early!!!Before the comment section floods…. Thank you So so much for this channel man it is seriously some of the best Quality I’ve ever seen!!! You guys are truly gifted At creating content!!
Really interesting to see actual photos of the mission. It hits harder compared to using stock images.
I love learning about stories such as this one! Keep up the great work and I always look forward to your next video!
love the fact you have og footage..
Outstanding briefing...I particularly like the detail of sub-ordinate units given...great story telling and narrative.
Another great watch thank you 👍
This is an outstanding channel. Very similar to the also excellent "The Ops room." Great job!
The ops room is great.....I love these channels too 💯❤️
Is it it just me or have you noticed "The ops Room" seems to mostly concentrate on missions were America has failed? I honestly think he dosn't like Americans very much were you can tell " Liveth for Evermore" does.
@@offensivebias1898 the reason the ops room has a lot of failed missions by America is because they fail a lot more than anyone else
@@offensivebias1898 I think it is because Ops Room focuses on more famous Ops while this channel focuses on somewhat lesser known Ops. Usually failures tend to be more famous like Op Eagle Claw and the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu which were famous for going wrong. Maybe your right though because I don't know the Ops Room's intentions when selecting vid topics.
Hell of a situation, high praises to Mr. Hallum for enduring the worst and getting through the ordeal, well done to our D-Boy brothers.
There was a few absolutely wild situations like this in Iraq over the years, maybe you can do the one on the KBR Truckers that were kidnapped after being ambushed in a convoy (there is some footage from one of the Truckers floating around out there).
God bless the incredible brave men in us special forces
religious vomit
I actually get excited when I see a notification of a new video
Thank you so much for uploading content that I love not just about the action or the shooting that I like .I'm passionate of watching how they operate as one team also learn different type of Tactics an how to be in control while your in a gunfight it amazes me that once that Bullet fly right past you instantly there training kicks in an contain the situation .
amazing work on this video. delta boys are best of the best
To me, the most intriguing part of this video is the information that the family that was living in the farmhouse was not involved in the kidnapping. They were not aware that some people were being kept hostage under their floor? What am I missing?
It was a thematic device. They did know about the men in the basement
If an armed soldier asks you if you were involved in kidnapping one of their nationals and holding them in inhumane conditions "no" is a highly recommend answer.
One of those situations where they have to keep their mouths shut or die horribly. Those insurgents were cowards, and cowards are generally the most brutal with innocents.
The guards at the farmhouse left before delta got there. 300iq
They gave him a miniature American flag when rescued... I love it when we prove some American memes true. We always prove them true in the most epic yet American way.
i love these reconstructions you stick to the facts, no bs!!
Great video as always 👍👍👍
Mahmoudiyah was no joke. I was with delta company 1st Battalion 63rd Armor Regiment 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division back in September 2008-2009. We were relieving a unit out of Fort Campbell KY. We landed in Baghdad and flew out on Blackhawks to FOB St. Michael total blackout. No white light even after hitting the ground. It was such an adrenaline rush. Place has the reputation of being “The Sunni Triangle of Death”. Well earned from my understanding. Unfortunately our Abrams were not there (moved to Camp Striker) and got stuck with up-armored hummers….Completely different way of life most in the West will never know.
Cool video for sure!
There is one unit that seems to be at the center of most SF operations and that's the 160th
Excellent video. Thanks.
Another fantastic video.
Fantastic!
Really good content man.
Cheers! Great work to all
God Bless America
I LOVE this channel!
And the family that chilled out in the rooms above these two men?…
Please cover the hostage rescue in Perú, in the Japanese ambassador residence. There's plenty of footage from that operation and there's even a thesis from the Navy War College about it that it is in the public domain.
NICE
You beat me!
Keep up the good work mate 👍
Great content!
Evermore..... brilliant.
Really loving the Delta and DEVGRU vids man, these dudes are fucking insane! Big, fast, clobber knockin bastards always fixin for a gunfight💪🏻🇺🇸 keep em comin!
Amazing!
Great work as always by the creator "Liveth"
Excellent stuff bro
When I was in Iraq in 2003 my unit visited Mahmudiyah several times to conduct night patrols or raids. We were initially stationed in Karbala just down the road. It was always a hot bed of action.
Thank you for your service
@@sa-un6mu after speaking with a guy that was in my plt. I need to make a correction. The chicken factory we stayed at was in Mahmudiyah and not in Karbala.
Great video
How beautiful is that? God bless those operators and The United States of America 🙏🇺🇸🏴💀🖤🙏
Beautiful ending!
Loved the vid.
You remember in like 2009 when you’d wake up in bed at 3am and the tv was on some cable documentary for the history channel? Well this video was a nostalgic trip for me!!!
Obviously you don't care, but you're forgetting about the hundreds of thousands of terrorists who are willing to track down these men and retaliate
I was a operator involved in this, i was with the QRF half a click out from the facility
first class well done
Nice to see this, very rare for it to get out!
Even if the government is corrupt, I thank God for our American military, for their bravery and determination, and for our Special Forces in particular. Telling these events makes one humbly proud to be American.
I was going to Afghanistan in 2011 and my little bro was at Benning. He and most other guys that did decent on their PFT were invited to Ranger School.
Humbling
Extraordinary.
It would be interesting to find out why Ahmed was there. Was he an Iraqi Christian? A Sunni captured by the Shia or vise versa? Or possibly a plant by the kidnappers?
If I was ever in trouble, them are the folks that I would want coming for me.
This one got me right away as I am both American and Filipino
I really like the soundtrack of the outro
Well done. lads!!
Yea I remember the story but never herd about the mission to free them n for that thank you
CAG is no joke man. They’re the best in the world for a reason.
Debatable, there are some seriously good SF regiments in other nations too with comparable successes such as this one. The Western special forces are the best in the world, but individually they all are better at some things that others are not. The debate of who is the best has continued for decades with the annual warrior games held and other competitions held where first place often shifts between nations each year.
The SAS are the best in the world.
Thanks for rescuing them DELTA force: They are gratefuls! 🙏💚🇺🇸💜
Cool
Are you able to do any Australian sf operations
Delta Force is the Army's Tier 1 unit (1st SFOD-D), the premier ultra-elite counterterrorism unit.
A rare mission from a tier 1 group released in the wild. Good shit.
Woooo!
Don't thank God, thank the operators.
God bless those who are willing and able to do violence on behalf of those who cannot.
Great story, ! So what happened to the farm house, ? Where is Paul Harvey, with the rest of the story ??????
Never heard of this.
Indeed,only God gv u anoder chance,no one else could hv saved u.
Praise God.
Can you do operation thunderbolt and also African special forces missions to
And the actual mission on captain Phillips
Wow,raberta is pretty large,i also supose that if you were to take something that madly,that you'd have to be doing something a little more in bulk rate than this,i don't think everything is okay either about all that and I'd of written that out a long time ago.and how beautiful she is too.ey,and i hope the drive is good
Whats mad is look at the kit the guys had - its worse than what most infantry have now and this was only 15 years ago. Mad that they used to operate like that.
But comparing to infantry at that time its a lot better.
Back then all that stuff was highspeed.
When CAG knows your address…
Iraq is hardcore. The smile on Roy's face shows you how crappy that cell was that the animals kept him in. Delta was smart and moved the freezer clearly outside thinkers of the 3d sphere we all live in. God bless the feds.
I hope Hallums bought a lottery ticket when he got home!
That's a Brit with his hand on Hallums at 4:45 right?
Ayo new video
yea that's the ticket boys, let's keep the American. I'm sure they'll be understanding and negotiate quickly.
Are you roy?
Yes.
Lets get you outta here
**NUT**
I would hope that the soldiers leveled that house with the owners in it later. It appears to me that Delta is superior to the navy Seals in effectiveness. Since I'm neither, I can only speculate.
It seems that the Seals are the headline seekers, who love to have the prime time soap operas about their lives and movies about their operations. While Delta lives in the shadows. This is how it should be for special forces. The less the enemy knows about how you operate the better it is for your survival.
I FUCKING LOVE AMERICA.
