@@Ecrocken I don't think he skipped it, I think it's a different video unfortunately. There's this one that's a little chopped up and the other version that can only be a minute or two longer that talks about the kid in the car helping kidnap her and about her coworker.

@@krw73I'd just be glad to be alive enough to ask that question! Given the circumstances that they were in!..lol I love my country, and countrymen. But don't trust my government!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸👋🤠
@@billallen4793that’s pretty much any citizen from any country. Love their country, their people, don’t trust/hate their Government. That’s not an American sentiment , that’s a Global sentiment. It’s because the Powers that be all over this Earth operate by Evil.
This is what we do when our people need us. As a US Marine ( 1976- 1980) it makes me proud that this story stands as a warning to those who would do harm to our people. Someone once said " when the Seals get called in the bad guys are in for a very bad day."
They rescued the other guy that was Danish also, he said “that he was so happy that he got kidnapped with an American citizen”. Yes, other countries don’t do this all the time, it has to be someone important. But, Americans are all important, we rescue as many as we can.
Can I tell you a sort of irrelevant story? You sound Scottish to me; in WWII, my father was a soldier in the Battle of the Bulge and he got shelled. After emergency treatment, he was airlifted to a hospital in Scotland to recuperate fully. The hospital connected recuperating American soldiers with Scottish civilians, who would invite the soldiers to dinner, take them to religious services, etc., to make them feel less lonely. The family he was connected to had a beautiful daughter named June, and they fell in love. My father proposed to her, and she said yes. My father recuperated completely and was sent back to the front. When Dad got back to the US, my father sent for June. She wrote back and said she was sorry, but she'd changed her mind. She'd decided she couldn't leave Scotland and her family. They never saw each other again. BUT ... They carried on a correspondence for the rest of their lives. We found a box of letters from her when we were clearing things out after my father died. Just conversational letters, how and what they were doing. My father eventually fell in love with/married my mother. I can't remember whether June got married. I assume she did. After my father retired, he and my mother took a trip to Scotland and looked up her two kid brothers, whom he'd also gotten to know very well. (June, unfortunately, had passed away.) They remembered him fondly. He used to bring them chocolate bars bcs they were part of soldiers' rations but very hard to get for civilians. They met at a pub and apparently talked and laughed for hours. My father also got a souvenir photograph from his time there, a photograph of himself in full Scottish regalia, a kilt and a sporran and so on. I always found that amusing bcs I don't think he had a drop of Scottish blood. He had photos of June. She was very pretty, petite and with light hair. It's always been very interesting to me to think that I could have been half Scottish (I mean, I know it wouldn't have been me, but ...). I and most Americans have very strong positive feelings towards the British Isles.
As a child growing up I thought that if anything was to happen to me America and our military would be there to save me. Then I grew up and realized that is just not going to be the case. Then I watch this, a thousand times I have watched this video and every time I get goosebumps and think how lucky I really am to be an American.
This is one of the best rescues I've ever learned about. I cry every time. I can't help it. What those soldiers actually went through to get to her is just as incredible. So much love and respect for our soldiers.
They went and gainst All odds to rescue her against the wind against solar flare that took out the communications these boys are the best of the best of the best
Thank you! This one always makes me tear up. There is another video telling this but from the military point of view. It's good as well. Gives a bit more insight into what they had to do to prepare.
If this was just a regular mission they wouldn’t have gave it the ok. But it was life or death and very crucial it happened the night it did. All the SEAL TEAM 6 members didn’t even have a doubt that they were going.
Justin K. Sheffield was the team leader who carried Jessica. (Over a mile!) He has a great book called MOB VI & he gives many details that were unknown to her.
Exactly! People are like, she was only carried for a few minutes 🙄! Yeah EXCEPT these guy's run 4 min miles! She was with our best and bravest!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
@@billallen4793 Yes! In Justin’s book he says they were carrying about 80 pounds of equipment each! (Way more than normal) They had to double up on Kevlar plates because they feared RPG’s, etc… from the enemy, so when she says he ran for “several minutes”… that’s a long way with a SEAL!! I hope you get the chance to read his book (I checked it out at my library) ❤️ from Texas
I remember a commercial for joining the Navy that ran on tv for a while. It showed a beach at night with the waves crashing on the shore. Then the water rushes back out to the ocean. Then a wave crashes and when the water rushes back you see footprints in the sand. Then another wave crashes and erases the footprints. SEAL stands for SEa, Air, Land warfare. Im a Navy brat, pops was active duty when I was born. I was actually born on a Marine Corp Air Base. The Navy and the Marines are related. There can be Marines that are Navy Seals.
It took some time but they developed intel to pinpoint location, dropped in by parachute at night, closed to the location, took down bad guys, and extracted successfully. You folks across the pond have your well respected and storied pipehitters in SAS & SBS cut from same hard fabric. In fact, we used same pattern developing our own.
I myself have a massiv respect for all hwo works in the military. Thank you heros .❤. English is not my first lanq sorry i don' t know if i will whrite corectlly all but ...respect military !! Respect!
Yes, its the same team, SEAL Team Six A.K.A. DEVGRU is a Tier 1 Special Operations Unit the specializes in Covert Counter Terrorist and Hostage Rescue operations. You will be lucky to ever know who a DEVGRU Operator is by face or name.
Just as there are several different Army special forces such as the Rangers, Green Berets, and Task Force 160. Delta Force is the Army's Tier 1 force. The Navy SEALs also have two types: what are called the Blue Water SEALs which can be thought of as the equivalent to the Army Rangers, and there is SEAL Team 6 which is the Navy's Tier 1 force equivalent to Delta Force. Both Tier 1 forces can do the same missions such as hostage rescue and direct action, but in general SEAL Team 6 executes the direct action mission more than Delta Force. Delta Force, and I'm being very general here, is usually used in large Tier 1 missions. You will rarely ever hear about the missions they conduct but there are exceptions. Killing Osama Bin Laden was one mission that was made public. And Delta Force's participation in the invasion of Panama (Operation Just Cause) was made public. I know a little more than the average person about what they do because after I retired from the Marine Corps, I worked as an independent consultant for military high technology programs and several of those programs were in support of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and I was at times technical support for the new technologies being tested on their training exercises.
Here in America, typically an American "Hero's" story w/ this much drama gets made into a movie, especially when the surviving victim writes a book about it. But This story of Heroism will never make for a "Box Office" movie for profit because of one factor . . . many of those Somalian Bandits were well under the age of American adulthood. That said, it doesn't matter what age you are for the laws of nature that govern such behavior, "Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword". There's another YT documentary floating around out there that claims this rescue cost $100,000,000 dollars to pull off.
The video u watched was not complete it skips parts, like her first realization there was a child pirate and the changing of cars along with the walk through the night before they were told to sleep.
Can you imagine going home that day and your wife asking "how was your day" and husbands reply a little rough I need some sleep. Assuming all top secret and women don't know who they are married to.
Our military wives know what we are and never know when that phone rings in the middle of the night or when we go to work in the morning if or when we will be back. It takes a special kind of woman. I had one for my whole career and she had lost one husband already in Vietnam. I was lucky to have her for 46 years after him.
@@alangeddes268 - what? Your wives knew you were Navy Seals and off to rescue hostages? The BS we see on TH-cam comments! Haha. "By Honey, i'm off to rescue hostages in Africa-i may be home late for dinner" 😀
@@Davelakful I think you have totally misunderstood my reply. It was for the wives of military members who must deal with the hard life of being a wife of these men. They may make a guess from headlines as to where we might be but half the time we don't even know where we are going until told.We don't tell our spouses classified info as it's wrong and could put us in more danger.
@@alangeddes268 - not sure what you are saying for sure but think we agree. Spouses know their significant others have dangerous jobs but they don't know the "actual" missions they are on. I would hope it's a security thing? Don't want others' to know who they killed in getting hostages.
12:22 Navy SEALs are not “The Best of the Best”, that would be US Army 1st Special Operations Group detachment “Delta”, also known as “Delta Force”. The SEALs are badass don’t get me wrong, but SEAL team members try out for Delta, Delta doesn’t try out for ANYONE. Delta are Tier 1 Operators, the only time you really hear about them is when they fail. Their successes are never known to the public, you should check it out.
This was Devgru or seal team 6. And the blue squadron of seal team 6. Normal navy seals are a tier 2 special forces. Devgru is a tier 1 unit of the navy. Delta force or cag is the army's equivalent of Devgru. Then you have the SAD unit that is made up of delta and Devgru and is controlled directly from the president through the CIA.
This was actually a repeat show on 60 Minutes and they left out much of what was told in the original version. The video he watched ended much sooner than the original, and that's why the information about the rescue of her fellow captive was not mentioned.
OK, there are a bunch of SEAL teams, and they are all very good, you might say they are the best of the best, BUT to become a member of seal team 6, (WHICH IS THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST) you must first pass BUDS like every other seal, but then you must be an exceptional operator in one of the other seal teams first, only after a few years of doing that will TEAM 6 even extend an invitation to you to attempt to train for team 6, and IF you complete the extra training, and get accepted into SEAL team 6, then you are one of the few of the most dangerous, smart and most lethal men to walk the planet, YES seal team 6 are the ones who got Bin Laden, SEAL team 6 is the men that is sent when the mission CAN NOT FAIL, NONE of the other seal teams go on those missions, Don't get me wrong, the other teams go on plenty of other very dangerous missions, but only Team 6 goes on the ones where failure is really NOT an option.
What I love about being an American,, we don't really recognize a class system, like many other countries. We believe everyone is entitled to the same opportunities, Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. If you work hard, have a dream and strive, then it can become a reality.. We are also very dedicated to our other American brothers and sister. Our Loyalty to each other is way beyond bone deep. We bicker among ourselves, but if an outsider tries to bully one of us, You can bet the rest of us will go to guns for them until it's done. Our anthem and our flag are so, so, so important and sacred to us. God Bless.

America military? Despite the fact that they are Navy, they are the great on land also
I have to wonder what would have happened to Jessica and Paul if their ordeal had happened between 2016 and 2020.
Stopped a bit short on this.
Ironic plot twist the kidnappers wanted $45M for Jessica America rather than pay the terrorists $45M, and instead spent $100M on this rescue mission
Go away
The point was made ! If they had paid then it would encourage others to do the same thing ! Don't f with Americans and expect to live .
