Sorry but I was “ just infantry” not really good enough to read your book bro 🇺🇸
if you wasn't there you should keep your mouth shut mechanized infantry as a joke anyway. 10th mnt div. light inf. 63 W
My squad was the kill squad, I’m pretty sure I was there bud 🇺🇸
There’s a documentary of the same name. The real soldiers go into detail about how sadistic the staff sergeant was. And initially, when Winfield’s parents (Briggman in the movie) told the Army about what was going on, because he told them via a series of emails, the Army wasn’t quick to act on it!
ill check it out, the Army isnt quick about anything... ever
What's the name of the documentary?
@@JustHoonIt it’s of the same name like I said!
@@dmichael7144lol I missed it in your comment too haha
It came out in 2013 it is also called the kill team!
Hey, just want to add that i really appreciate your Channel and Content! I am a German Veteran of the 23rd Gebirgsjägerbrigade (231st Gebirgsjägerbattalion) and had 3 tours in Afghanistan and since being a Gebirgsjäger we naturally were involved in a lot of Combat Situations.
Once i got home and left the Military adjusting was extremely difficult. I still remember how the first 1-2 Years adjusting to civilian Life i would drive with my Car to the Grocery Store in a Neighbour Town and especially if it was dark out i'd suddenly switch to Hyper-Focus so much that i was nervous as hell when driving, like if there was a Leaf in Autumn blowing infront of my Car i'd hit the Brakes. And worst of all were People who would honk because everytime a Car honked i felt like i got a Heart Attack because of it.
Now almost 10 years later i still have these Issues every now and then but not as common anymore as it used to be.
What i'm trying to say is, watching Content from other Combat Veterans from all over the World is really helpful as in to not feel as "weird" as i used to think i've been after my Service!
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
I also forgot to add maybe for other Combat Veterans around the World, when you're in a Supermarket and your Brain suddenly switches to Hyperfocus, don't feel too weird.
Just yesterday when shopping at my local Supermarket my Brain suddenly went into Hyperfocus and i would uncontrollably act like each Aisle i pass might have an Enemy so i'd move slowly to the Corner of an Aisle and "check" before walking into it.
Naturally you feel insanely weird and crazy doing so, but that's something that just happens for us Combat Vets i guess.
Point being: Don't feel embarassed of awkward because of it, in reality most Civilian Shoppers won't even notice it because they don't focus on other Shoppers Behaviour.
Yes it will always make you feel awkward as hell but just know you're not alone and it's not uncommon
@@chartreux1532 ''i pass might have an Enemy so i'd move slowly to the Corner of an Aisle and "check" before walking into it. '' Damn, that's how I move through the supermarket. Glad I'm not the only one..
@@Razgriz218 Yeah dont feel weird about that. its just an after effect i guess. Like to get more specific in my local supermarket i literally MOVE towards each aisle on the main lane like someone who coud kill me is there, it probably looks really funny and weird to civilians but its everything but
@@chartreux1532 I do have ptsd unfortunately so that's where it must come from. But even so, sometimes it's 'nice' to see that my somewhat strange behavior occurs with other people as well ;)
I can't fucking stand supermarkets,I try to just get my stuff and leave.
You would have been in Mazar-e-sharif? I was in fob maimana.
October 28th 2010, Nalgham Afghanistan. I lost my PSG. to an IED 19 hrs after we, which "WE" were 200 Infantry guys from the 2-502 had occupied that area. Adam just stepped on the wrong spot, and then he was gone.
InfantryAfghanistan we dealt with IEDs that were weight sensitive, meaning the average Afghan weighs at the most 120lbs. Your typical light Infantry guy weighs way more than that, especially with his ruck.
Hey brother I was with 1-502 during that same deployment. Every step in that place was a roll of the dice.
At least you guys had a steak and lobster day! I was on a Italian run base in Afghanistan (camp phoenix) and let me tell you, pasta every single day isn't a party either 😂 On the plus side, every now and again you could get yourself a slice of pizza which was pretty awesome. But the real shock was when we got to the US part of the base we called 'HQ' where we could get damn fries and a burger! What!! That was great, except for the intense stomach ache I got because my intestines were not uses to that kind of food anymore 😫 Yeah, 'food' while being oversees man... Can't say I miss it haha. Oh and thanks for another cool upload guys! Keep 'em coming 💪
I was a private with Gibbs, who the NCO was based off of. There was warning signs. We have stories.
please share. I, and I'm sure many here, would be interested to read it.
@@prointernetuser well as a private he was a fairly quick rising personality in the company. He was a pt stud, knew enough to not get pounced on, and was generally funny. You hear stories about guys being generally shitty to people they know, but there was more serious stories. I can’t confirm anything really happened so I’m not explaining this portion. We get deployed to Iraq. We’re in a Patrol Base (what would eventually be called Combat Outposts) and generally we’re making the place a second Noah’s Ark. Well he got into a fight with his Team Leader and took a hammer and killed the Team Leaders puppy. Well rather than giving him a serious offense, they gave him an Art 15 and moved him to another company. Well the 1SG of that company took weapons away from him for about 2 months and gave him flyswatters for protection. Well eventually got his weapon back, they made him a SAW Gunner, in our battalion this was a Cherry ie New guy job because of the weight. Well he killed an entire family in a van at a traffic control point one night. Well we can almost understand until the bragging started. Shooting civilians happens, NOBODY that does it feels good about it. Gibbs did so much that he tattooed skulls for the family he killed on his leg. He was showing serious signs of mental issues. He broke a new privates jaw when we got back. He was sent to a different Brigade because our Unit was changing mission types and he didn’t have the time remaining in service to complete the tour for the change. So he went away, nobody expected him to stay in. He slipped through the cracks.
All of the things that they were saying couldn’t happen, we were taught as Privates to get away with. Infantrymen when me and Gibbs came in, beat each other at the desires of their leadership. You were taken somewhere wuiet and out of view and beaten. I don’t doubt that happened. Gibbs knew, in country urinalysis rarely happens and is easy to fight in Jag because of storage conditions. The drop rifle, was told to us by 173rd when we first relieved them. Our leadership found out about the drop rifles that were NEVER used, and we couldn’t have untagged AKs in our vehicles. The hunting pics came from Iraq. The Iraqi government wanted those to prove who killed the person wasn’t Iraqi on Iraqi to prevent tribal uprisings.
There always are. But what can you do until it's too late?
would love to hear those
@@fathead8933 did he brag about the fingers he kept?
I was in this unit, 5/2ID, just not in 2-1 Infantry. The thing that pisses me off is the “Kill Team” Assholes completely over shadowed that whole deployment for all of 5/2. So, the 41 KIAs from that deployment didn’t get the recognition the deserved. I mean idk what could have been done. I just wish that deployment was remembered for the guys that gave all and not for a group that murdered civilians. Because they where pissed the rest of 5/2 was getting into tic’s and they weren’t so the did what they did.
Thats funny guys. When I was stationed in Kunsan, ROK, we had steak and lobster I think every sunday at the club. We called it "Bif and Lubester". Awfull tough and dry tails but we ate it, did our standard tip of I think 20 cents, and checked off one more week. Only 51 to go! Now off to kill and hour walking to the mail room instead of driving. Ah the military... what a dream job.
I'd love for you guys to check out a Danish War movie about Afghanistan - A War or in Danish "Krigen" from 2015.
It follows a platoon of Danish soldiers in Helmand.
Some of the actors are former ISAF soldiers and the main character is played by Pilou Asbæk who's also in GoT.
It has a great trailer for it as well, where you are in the POV of a vehicle until it hits and IED.
It should be available with subtitles.
Man, when I was in Iraq I was getting my food shipped to my side of the base on Speiker. We had the same dinner every fucking night. Chicken... rice or mashed potatoes, corn or green beans, and 2 types of bread. I went to the other side of base one night and it was steak and lobster night... I lost my fucking mind man. They also had a taco bar, a Mongolian BBQ-style spot. I wanted to fight everyone in that DFAC that took it for granted.
Totally get why you reject the IED in the village but the ones rigged with a current (saw blades and 2x4s) would often be disconnected from power source which is why occasionally they would sit long enough to be invisible. Those were always anti vehicle not anti personnel but since they used mattress springs it could have gone off but it’d have been on a road and it’d have been a big bang
Reminds me of the phrase, “tough as a $2 steak”… definitely don’t miss the DFAC. Thanks for another great episode!
always good realistic reviews!
appreciate that
I appreciate you guys willing to talk about this movie and it's subject matter. Given that you were both willing to tackle this dramatization would you be willing to do a similar video on the documentary?
Monday is always a good day if FNG does these movie analysis :) Best wishes to you guys from PierogiLand:) Respect!
One of the best channels on TH-cam
People, I am old, female and born shortly after WWII. I missed the whole thing. We were so valiant and I am so proud of what my countrymen did and wished so much I could have been born 20 years earlier so I could have been a part of it. Watching WWII history programs like "Band of Brothers" and many others of that time period, I see the good my country did in helping rid the world of Evil, REAL EVIL! And, I have loved my country so much more in seeing what we accomplished, we freed so many and helped so many, ALL OF EUROPE.. Our boys didn't die for nothing, they died AS HEROS to save many, many good people from a group of people who decided 'IT WAS UP TO THEM WHO LIVED AND WHO DIED, WHO WAS WORTH LIVING AND WHO WASN'T. I haven't even finished this movie but I know I have seen enough. If this is true and it claims to be true, then the USA is the new Germany. And since I can't see the U.S. being taken down by men, it will probably be taken down by God. The New Madrid Fault Line for example. I come from people who live long lives, Dad was 96 and his sister is still with me at 96 today. I am so saddened by what is happening with the filth on TV, etc. that I am ready to go NOW. My country is in for a rude awakening and if I am truly lucky, I won't be around to see it.
This dudes commentary is freakin gold (white tshirt). Makes me laugh out loud everytime. I would definitely have gotten along with that dude. BTW, sorry I don't know your name yet. I just subscribed yesterday and now binging your movie reviews.
I used to cook for my squad. Not always, but if we had the time, and we had our contact at the DFAC hooking it up with the steaks, then I'd do it. We bought a cheap BBQ from the bazaar, along with charcoal, and grill up T-bones and cook the lobster trails over hot rocks. The meat was OK, but it was miles above Friday's burnt to a crisp or Rhamadi's boiled meat. It was a huge moral booster, especially in days when we'd miss out on dinner and didn't want to wait for midnight chow.
Also, we had some IPs and IAs get in fights with our guys. We had a couple NCOs we hated, so when they took it too far, we'd just watch them beat the shit out of these sergeants for a good five minutes before stepping in. Some guys just couldn't fight, and they would get stomped if we weren't there to supervise the "training."
My contention is that the deployment steaks were horse meat. They cooks from the chow hall steamed then grilled the steaks in a couple of chow halls I saw. I was blessed to work with JSOC and had access to better chow.
again asking for a review of Hamburger Hill....101st Airborne in Vietnam 1968(?)....thanks....
added to the list!
I saw that at the movies when I was a kid. My great uncle who was at the Chosin reservoir took me😂

Dude.
1987 Death Before Dishonor.
Semper Fi!!!
Lets go. Review the Sabotage film

What always got me about action movies like John wick and other ones when they're in a gun fight they run out of ammo and they grab 🔪 or something instead of the 10 🔫 s that are laying behind them
Nice react FNG
thank you!
western Afghanistan on Oct. 22,Shindand Air Base.....good video man... Green Berets from 7th Special Forces Group...Wahedullah Khan😎😎
Hello sean , I’m 54 and have never been in the military. I teach Muay Thai and kali. I love what you guys do for everyone and for those with dreams. I am writing a book and have hit self imposed obstacles. I’m not sure which episode you spoke about self accountability but it hit home. So thank you.
Now- you do a lot of info for selection and current service ppl. Could you give some advice for the normal guy who might find himself on a threat situation. Thank you Sirs.
Oh ya. Stop busting balls on die hard!!!! 😁
Additionally, when jujitsu is not going to work. Too many guys forget that bjj might be the worst thing to do in the streets just imo
awesome series, just binging it all the way. Please do 'Proof of life', the one with Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan.
hey guys i love you videos the are very nice,keep the good work ! Can you gives your list with most realistic movie by ever , will be great ! thanks
Good evening chaps
good evening!
Being that you guys are fans of Charlie Sheen, is hot shots part 2 a possibility? Or even hamburger hill. Wild story.
for sure!
Can you do a video on Spartan with Val Kilmer? SERE instructor who has to go rescue a hostage

Do you know who the Nelk boys are? I seen the happy dad seltzer you just keep inspiring me 😂
12:01 This is the Explanation about how Buck look at Tyler the Seal Team actor/director.
Highly recommend Reaper-1 by Empty Can Films.
ill check it out
@@FNGACADEMY
Thank You Guys. ❤️🙏
I know you guys do movies and tv shows, but would you ever consider looking at some military games like Six Days in Fallujah?
we could
Incidences like this can happen. Canadian Armed Forces took charge of a post previously occupied by US army. US army had no problems. It took TWO geared Canadian troops to step on the same pressure plate, at the same time to initiate the IED. The IED was at the entrance of a mud hut being used as a forward command post.
I'd like to see you sit down with an old MACV
When a Spc picked me up at my 1st duty stations Indoc he asked do you want to deploy? of course that’s why I joined…. Enjoy the next 3 years we’re fenced in… this mass punishment happened because of this shit I got assigned to this same Battalion on JBLM
Check out "The iron triangle"
Yo wtf???? Buck, Abel c'mon bro no way it's a coincidence i suggested you guys watch the kill team like last week and here you are reacting to the kill team i know you guys do beers and breakdowns but don't post the videos until the next month so if I'm right you guys did this reaction a month ago but holy shit what a coincidence😂😂 love yall loved this beers and breakdowns like i do every video keep up the amazing work
Have you seen Commando: Britain's Ocean Warriors. Its a 4 part series. Worth a review
KAF Defac breakfast: handmade burrito 👌🏽
KAF Defac dinner: lamb in lime sauce 👎🏽 steak 👎🏽 steak covered in A1 👌🏽 fish and calamari 👎🏽 praline and cream ice cream 👍🏽
KAF Indian defac: 👌🏽👌🏽
KAF Brit compound: 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Mermites: 👎🏽
14:27 HOW CAN YOU FORGET WING WEDNESDAY IN BAGRAM 🤣🤣🤣
Have you guys reviewed triple 9 movie ?
Don't forget he lacked the guts to snitch to his superiors and went through his Dad instead. The Squad clearly never saw "A Few Good Men" or "Full Metal Jacket"!
Never share family business with outsiders
the afgan never pushed the marine in the first clip he just fell over his own feet
Please can you guys review 2016's ' Spectral'?
FNG Rules
appreciate you!
The kill team is based on my old active duty unit that I deployed with
Oh hey there's my old unit lol.
during this time?
@fngacademy You guys might enjoy doing a break down on "Man on Fire" being such Denzel fans. It was really one of his good movies.
Also good to see Buck has lost the shades again, that was annoying af on videos.
You guys still need to see Kajaki: The True Story this movie is within the top 5 when it comes to realism
We usually just ate an MRE on steak day.
How about designing a pack that can be used on the rack/ frame you're selling (if you can do better than the gov. contracts). Turn the Ruck Trainer into a future investment that is not only effective, but also tangible (people like playing with kit). I see people purchasing your product, but not having much use for it after it has served its purpose.
Stanley Milgrim authority theory
Have you done the Vietnam movie Danger Close? True story!
Lobster wasn’t bad. I never ate the steak. B&R on those rare Fridays we got back in time was great. Usually by the time I got back I got pecan pie (prepackaged) and coffee from my coffee bar. You didn’t tell your friend about chili Mac dude! That’s a staple. Thst was Gen X army SOS
B&B ❤
Guys watch "The Thin Red Line" by Terrence Malick. You will love it
will do!
i'd be very curious to learn just how much of the film was altered for entertainment purposes, especially given the director and writer of the film, is the same director who made the documentary upon which this film is based. having created both, i'd be interested in comparing the 2
agreed
There another old movie about shooting prisoners and scape goats called ,, Breaker Morant ,,, based on a true story.. it's about the Boar War
Better review than the last one of Operation Lioness. One thing is the acting issue another thing is the acton scenes and the tactical movements of the Actors. In Operation lioness I see a good action tv series. Not just as the same of SEAL TEAM that for me is the TOP. But Operation lioness is good on the action scens. We agree that some drama scens sucks, but any how for me is a OK tv series
Random comment but have you guys considered reviewing “The Last Stand 2013?” It has Arnold Schwarzenegger going up against the Cartel, so cool
Don’t forget the steaks are soaked in some kind of supposedly teriyaki sauce.
Have you guys seen the movie Warriors from 1999? I'd love to see your opinion. It's about the war in Bosnia and the UN peace mission. My dad got assigned just a few months after the debacle.
ABEL rules !!!
Why all sf guys always have big bicep do they use arms that much?
Should I watch it before the breakdown ? Or breakdown first ? Lol
this one shouldnt matter, maybe do some google research first for context
wouldn't bother with this movie..its 1st class grade A sh*tty movie lol.
Cook your steak in a little beer if its chewy. It renders down fat and tissue a little. Makes it like butter.
ALL Army chow is SSSHHHIIIITTTYYYY!!!
fact
They served crab legs on occasion when I was in Erbil. I love seafood, but I wasn't about to trust seafood in northern Iraq.
Ah hell. I had completely blocked memory of Steak and Lobster day. I was Pre GWOT but they did that shit after long deployments or FTX's. Worst steak ever! and there was no way I was going to eat whatever that thing in the shell was, it looked worse than it smelled. I didn't even try lobster for decades after. As a Squad leader I would just hand out Pogey bait and smokes to boost morale.
I started to watch this on netflix, I thought it was fake....
it was real?
The story is... intriguing, kinda... but the movie itself, somehow, screams gobbledygook.
What realy happend, crazy, believable, sadly, but what was shown here, not believable, which is even more crazy.
Is it possible this was made stupid on purpose, so it's more easily consumable for the typical movie-watcher?
You guys have to watch a movie called “dangerous “ with Scott Eastwood and Mel Gibson. It’s so bad it’s hilarious and the police tactics are horrible
Not even one in a million one survives the sharpnel from a defensive grenade explosion that close. And staring it point blank from 15ft when it happens!! That to me was the final nail on the coffin and most bogus event showing the movie was made by civilians with no idea of military TTPs.
😂😂😂😂😂😂💀! Spank bank.
I always looked forward to the days we had Mexican food, soul food, and surf and turf. I only enjoyed the food as a reminder of civilization! It’s a great idea for moral, but always cheap meat and bad execution! 😢
agreed
Don't turn me gay 🤣🤣🤣
Mmmm boiled steak Fridays at FOB Salerno. Gaaaaroossss🤮
[BOOBIE MAG]
I watched this movie...it was bad from beginning to end.
Unit is also wrong. These guys all but shuddered the stryker brigades of 2ID because of thier actions.
*I still find this whole case to be wild as hell.
🏳🌈
😂
Buck, all your questions about this movie can be summed up by understanding the writer just thinks all soldiers are bad and/or stupid. This is some BS writing
makes sense
This movie pissed me off and the main character was a rat. I've never watched a more terrible movie in my life. Free the guys
For killing innocent civilians?
Chewie was hurt.
