Both Mitchell (McNab,) & Armstrong (Ryan) both write great fiction. They've both pumped out some amazing plots. I love their style of writing, in fact I reckon both were one of the first of that style/genre. I think some have been turned into screenplays. Incredible story of what happened to B2 zero. Nearly everything that could go wrong appeared to happened. Respect and may the fallen RIP.
Danger Close is also a name of a real life movie about a Company of Australian Infantry Soldiers in Vietnam at a rubber plantation called Long Tan. 2,500 NVA and Vietcong attacked 108 Australian Soldiers resulting in calling in Artillery to breakup the attack by calling in fire on to there position. They were awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for their action.
Look up Zero Bravo Six - absolutely insane battle in 2003 between 60 M Squadron SBS guys and find out how many Iraqis plus some elite level piloting from American Air assets, a book has just come out about it, crazy battle!
Read Zero Bravo Six just the other day. Now reading Peter Ratcliffe's 'Eye of the Storm.' Another great read. Read so many of them now, we are literally spoiled for choice. Beats all the crap on the TV guys! ;)
@@Sidney1WG Eye of the storm is a great book and has a fantastic counter to bravo two zero as Ratcliffe was their RSM he mentions that B20 did not help themselves at all by going out without vehicles which they were basically told to go with, I won't spoil anything else as ur about to read it ;)
Mr. Chris's story is incredible! Hearing how his body was able to metabolize itself and keep him alive definitely makes me question whether or not i want to loose my few extra pounds 😂. I've never been a fitness junky BUT after hearing survival stories like this and Nick Lavery, Jason Redman, Tyler Varges-Andrews i've really come to appreciate physical conditioning. Go Navy Federal 🇺🇸
Chris Ryan is full of shit , the solider that lost hes life was the most experienced in the team. Ryan was the least experienced as he had come from the TA regiment of the SAS. Read the true story of bravo 2 zero, more true full then the fairy tales Ryan and Mc nab wrote.
SAS & SBS are tier 1 and operate across multiple environments so it’s a bit tricky to directly compare them to U.S forces. SBS are more specialised for water based stuff and the majority come from the Royal Marines.
@@southerncomfort7490 no, that’s not exactly right. The SEALs already had UDT divers in WW2 that became the foundation for the SEALs nowadays. These divers would conduct beach reconnaissance of Japanese islands before the Marines would attack the islands
@@markrunnalls7215 no it’s not? The SEALs weren’t formed solely on the SBS, they already had a prestigious history along with the SBS. Sure they taught them comms or whatever as you say. But why does that matter? The units have evolved to develop their own individual TTPs and unit tactics. The SEALs also taught the SBS on some of their tactics during exchanges The SAS/ SBS may have laid the foundation but others have developed their own tactics from combat experience. For example: the Australian SAS are arguably the best unit at special reconnaissance in the world due to their experience in Borneo and Vietnam
If we listen, they are telling us how to get through tough times, "keeping the integrity of the mind". Short-term pain for long term gain; self-distraction. It's all here.
Ollie needs to get help over the chimp incident. It's obviously still affecting him.He,s mentioned it in absolutely every interview I've ever seen of his!
No it doesn’t tell me anything. Units have developed their own TTPs and have their own combat experience. The SAS laid the bricks but every SF unit has become one of their own not some “SAS copy”
@@markrunnalls7215 wot mate? The you think the SBS simply taught the seals how to operate? The SEALs have existed since WW2, they were called UDT divers and were responsible for conducting beach reconnaissance before marines assaulted Japanese islands. It wasn’t until after the Vietnam war that the UDTs became the SEALs. Marcinko raised ST6 and yes it trained alongside the SBS, but doesn’t mean it’s some knockoff of UKSF. The SEALs have had a distinguished history of their own whilst also developing their own TTPs from years of hostage rescue and combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia

Met Chris Ryan A……e in Stockport book signing years ago. When I ask if his second name was something. His face was a picture. What a great guy he signed it Chris Ryan then PP it with his second name in real life. What a legend. Lost my book absolutely gutted. I think somebody stole it If you ever watch this, please sign the book and send it me top man
I’ve always felt like I could relate with service members due to my two years as a missionary in the favelas of Brazil. The guys I served with were my blood brothers and we created a bond that has lasted for years. We saw death, assault, had to defend our lives, and had bullets hit our house many nights. I remember wondering if I would make it out alive but stuck to my training. We were armed with the word of God (but I would’ve appreciated a gun as well 😂)
@8.30 when Ryan is talking about killing the goatherder, and the American is grinning, it's worth noting that neither of these guys are demonstrably intelligent outside of the immediate expediencies of warfare. How would either of these guys feel if foreign special forces landed in their countries and casually cut the throats of civilians who their own countrymen? Certainly, don't expect ANY mercy or good treamnet if the enemy knows you have done that. They both demonstrate the arrogance which seems to be the preserve of the miitary from the "1st world" countries.
The SAS and the SBS do not "casually cut the throats of civilians...". Neither Ryan nor his colleague killed the goatherder in the end. They were in a situation which could have resulted in their deaths if the goatherder had alerted the enemy. They had to plan what to do to avoid that situation. I'd like to know what you would have done. Don't insult those brave men who protect your freedom.
read the book The Nemesis File about what really makes a highly trained troop,, in wartime on battlefields or death squads ,all the worlds sf need that evil in them,, its not about how highly trained you are
Watch the video where they destroyed the sas version of events. B2 ....Zero kills 😂. The Bedouin tribe that they called soldiers were friendly and they didn't find any tracks of the soldiers looking for Vince. Fair enough it was pointless but in touching the void the climber that cut off his mate didn't mince words
Oh dear, we have a chronic nodder. Mate, you don't have to constantly keep trying to demonstrate how much you're listening by incessant nodding and that phony Hollywood frowning. Just listen.
Different cultures have different non verbal cues. What is wrong with you? I have lived in Canada, the UK and the US and each place has varying non verbal cues. Not sure your patronizing comments are called for.
Can we get some more autistic airsoft/Call of Duty armchair operators into the comment section to give their analysis on the expertise, ranking, and capabilities of Special Operations Forces? I just don't think we have enough of them. Thanks.
this guy is obviously nails, however Vince was 2ic of that patrol so for this guy to claim he was dishing out orders seems a bit crass as vince isn’t around to dispute it. it’s a shame to realise that for a guy like this who passed selection and went on to instruct has to lie about his endeavours. alot of what the authors of this mission claimed isn’t accurate, i mean they’re 22 sas, that in itself is epic, why fabricate things
All this special forces is bollocks ...try being a victim of domestic violence abuse...no training no backup decades of abuse..no ego...have a think...absolutely egotistical nonsense.
Much love and respect to the hitters across the pond. 🇬🇧
Back to you brother, may the free West prosper despite all the commie scum trying to destroy us!
I love that you’ve brought this community together of special forces throughout the world. The camaraderie is real
As a Brit fan of Jack's, love that he's done this compilation.
Hey brother, I loved terminal list. Much love from the UK! 🇬🇧
Terminal list was a great show. Thanks Jack. Enjoying the discussions you are hosting. Hope your channel blows up.
Thanks for this, I love seeing our guys getting noticed and respected.
First time I've ever listened to a podcast. Quite enjoyed it as it goes. Thanks for sharing.
Been waiting for something like this. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Do you not think a lot of Mitch's Bravo Two Zero account was fiction?
Worked with Australian SAS in RVN. Mid 1960s.
Really enjoyed the podcast 👍🏻
loved it, will u be doing a delta and ST6 episode?

The SAS and SBS arent "some" of the best special forces. They are THE BEST
awesome
Bought it, Amzing!
Do something on "The Increment" if possible
- What a bunch of dudes .. !!!
--- --- ---
( My favourite subgroup is the Gulf War ( 1 ) SAS operators .. !!! )
That time period fascinates me. My dad was working in Syria during that time. Those guys were trying to escape to near where he was.
SAS are like UK Delta/Cag and SBS are like UK Seals?
SAS & SBS are tier 1 and operate across multiple environments so it’s a bit tricky to directly compare them to U.S forces. SBS are more specialised for water based stuff and the majority come from the Royal Marines.
Lee is right. As a rule of thumb: Delta modelled on the SAS; Navy Seals modelled on the SBS.
@@southerncomfort7490 no, that’s not exactly right. The SEALs already had UDT divers in WW2 that became the foundation for the SEALs nowadays. These divers would conduct beach reconnaissance of Japanese islands before the Marines would attack the islands
@@rp4712 yes it is, I know of a Las in the Royal signals who due to her knowledge went across and showed Delta all about coms..

This must be Des Doom that McNab spoke about!
All the worlds special ops team are outstanding,but if they all copy the SAS does that not tell you something 🤔
No it doesn’t tell me anything. Units have developed their own TTPs and have their own combat experience. The SAS laid the bricks but every SF unit has become one of their own not some “SAS copy”

With whats come to light since his death..... he would be in jail not on a podcast

Burt rose you are correct but remember this the sas do things and situations no one else can
And so do the SBS.
Ben garwood giving a good storey about getting 🦀

Should have definitely slotted that goat herder
The same sas that got captured in Iraq and Libya, American cag / seal team six have never ever been captured.
Clueless! and stupid
But Delta had a disastrous mission under their belt, Eagle claw. These are the missions special forces learn from
No SAS were captured in Libya.Some Royal Marines were detained in Libya until the militia realised the marines were on the same side as them!
@Awoke Awoke
"Just plain ignorant."
Sadly, there are SO many like him in TH-camland.
Think you're wrong mate.. remember one thing. The SAS will go where Delta fear to tread

Sounds like you massive ego and foaming at the mouth because no attention is coming your way. Fuck off and do something instead of whining.
