- Scott Mann spent his twenty-three year Army Special Forces Career involved in Foreign Internal Defense, Counter-insurgency, and Stability Missions all over the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
It was in Afghanistan, serving as a Green Beret, where Mann helped implement the Special Forces Village Stability Operations. These operations allowed him to forge critical relationships with the Afghan people, who in turn helped aid the U.S. in routing out the Taliban.
In 2021, when the Taliban began retaking Afghanistan, Mann organized an ad hoc collection of people to use all resources necessary to help evacuate their Afghan allies. The group became known as 'Task Force Pineapple' and was mainly comprised of retired U.S. Special Forces veterans.
The clandestine operations continue to this day and have helped save the lives of countless vulnerable Afghan allies and their families.

He’s in the same realm as Hemingway, Elliot, or Lawrence. A thinking man’s soldier. A great author and storyteller. Highly recommend his book “Game Changers”.
This is the kind of great men that serve in our military and they need all the respect we can give them
This is the type of man we need to run our country plain and simple.!
I would say it thus: "This is the type of man we need to HIRE and REPRESENT American interests at the federal level." Patriots stay home to run their businesses and care for their families. We hire men and women like Scott Mann to do the things we don't have time or interest to do: Go to Congress and vote after reflecting on the directions given by your constituents. And, most importantly, quit Congress after a maximum of 12 years to return to private life.
The respect I'm feeling for this man's sense of honor and duty and personal responsibility defies my ability to articulate. Our leaders, one by one, left our national reputation besmirched by their actions and inactions and sheer ignorant arrogance throughout the "War on Terror".
Thank god for the professionalism and honor of our serving men and women!
How about the "war on drugs"? How's that going?
“I was raised on the belief that you leave something better off than when you found it.”
These soldiers take responsibility for things politicians should do. God bless them.
As a USAF Security Forces veteran, at almost 60 years old now, I'd STILL get on board and go. The opportunity never availed itself. Or I'd have gone.
Scott Mann you Sir are respectfully a True Hero and I'm honored to be able to listen to you share your memories on the operation.
Incredible Human. You give me faith in the human race.
I'd trust the military before I'd trust a politician.
If you follow the top brass, you can see that they slowly took out Military experienced people with people that will follow political pressures
@@banditeastlick2471 ☝️☝️☝️
Not me. I used to. Unfortunately the military has gone political and woke to.
Sir, the military is government funded and does what ever they say, lmaaaaao
@@thereissomecoolstuff if you hadn’t yet realized that the military has always been political idk what to tell you dude. Cry more.
These men and women... who continue their lives, committed and undaunted to freedom and our country.... have always been our greatest point of strength, wisdom, and pride, pay attention to what they relate... do something for your country... as they continue to do... and be that American you were born to be. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters for keeping that path of continued freedom through ALL your sacrifices and endeavors, thank you.
bad a$$ Thank God for AMERICA and for MEN such as Scott!
Still some people with honor out there. I highly respect the work they've done.
Thank you
God bless and thank u 4 your service
Thank you for your service sir
God Bless and keep OUR Military!
I salute you sir.
I like this guy alot. I can see why he became what he is.
Much respect Sir...
DLO
Finally someone that speaks the truth
Nice analysis - a salute for you Sir from me!
Interesting, nevertheless, Thank You for sharing your story, service, sacrifice and above all your courage to answer the call to serve 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very objective.
7:43 💯
There's always a huge contrast between what was being said vs what was actually happening. It's a Big Guy thing.
Finally an interview with a soldier who is not a knuckle dragging vet bro.
‘Knuckle dragging vet’ Typical remark by someone whose never served.
whose @@joeburns4294 ? You're not helping your case.
@@joeburns4294 Don't feed the trolls, dude!
WOW
Some times if I go to the cemetery to visit a relative it goes all right every now and then I look at a soldier's grave and I say a prair for them
Commandos are bada$$
Should be...could be a movie...👍
Will be . . .
I'm sure after the recent success of the Operation Freedom movie, it'll get made. It would be a great way to drive support and awareness for their NGO "Save our Allies'
The problem is not just politicians, its culture.
The middle east does not share the same values as western cultures. People there are bounded by family lineage over nationality. They have existed as a warlord culture for thousands of years. When you introduce a central government, that government has to be run by people. This inevitably causes corruption and bias as the government is staffed by a shared lineage. This new power is then leveraged against rival lineages.
The Taliban is bounded by islam. This is something people in the middle east can agree on which is why they are so popular.
I think he was also leaning grr towards the "people's government "as a body that didnt represent our democracy but whatever government they would want to establish, one that doesnt enforce their beliefs with mass killings preferably. If you didnt defend that kind of government, the violent terror cells that kill to get what they want will just come back as they always have, like it did.
20 years wasted
Did this group work with representative Mullins and Afghanistan refugee woman with her kids?
….. no staying behind capacity? What form of capacity, civilians, military or both?
10 beats 0. Out.
I think it's a trap. I dont think they completely left but are monitoring those that took over like a trap
It's sad seeing all these brave noble soldiers so slow to realise they are fighting for a corrupt political system that is controlled almost entirely by lobbyists. America can be a great country, but it needs to get the influence of money out of the politics.
If we fought crime in our own country as strongly as we have in foreign nations, we'd be in a lot better shape as a country. God bless America and Israel forever in Jesus name 🙏😇❤️
Can't trust locals but having to be forced to trust them is a hard choice so some have to be trusted. NEVR trust politicians.
20 years for what
Tl:dr- our government forgot there was a war going on that needed to be won or we would continue the endless conflict we were in. They were so disconnected with the harshness of their actions they left billions of dollars worth of military weapons and equipment for their terrorist government to do as they please.
He had a very good opinion on why there was little effect in the middle east after 2 decades, the people in charge were never focused on it like it was an actual war. We fight there and have conflict but for no permanent goal due to the lack of understanding by the people in charge. The boots on the ground integrate, teach, fight, and die for the people who live there, and almost all civilians at home and running for office were focused on stupid political moves to get elected or deface, and memes. The real motivation to do something there died once people over here stopped believing there was any way to win. It was an endless war because they didnt have to keep making reasons to be there. Soldiers would volunteer for their own reasons while politicians continued to be who they are.
In this way, the Russians were a whole lot smarter: They quit after ten years.
You know that GoRuck connection was in full effect with the Pineapple Express 🍍
Democracy and the Westernized way (civilized) was never gonna work out with the rural communities in that country regardless.
31 trillion in debt to bankers.
What he said in a few minutes really changed my outlook on Trumps miltary evacuation.
You have no clue what you’re talking about when it comes to the administration and who did what you couldn’t be more wrong
We should’ve done Jocko Willink’s strategy of controlling key airports and monitoring the terrorist threat.
Worst part is Ahmad Shah Massoud, one of the afghan warlords had detailed info on 9/11 but was killed just weeks before he was gonna divulge the info, which was 2 months before 9/11.
Let’s go Brandon
I disagree that the Biden administration owned what happened in Afghanistan with all due respect.
who cares about the politics.
@@CatmanFS i do, because we spent a trillion dollars of tax payer money and countless lives for this ridiculous war that served no purpose at all.
@@timchurch2390 Not much me or you can really do about that though. I meant that focusing on the human element is more important than worthless currency or even more worthless politicians.
Are you saying Trump did? Cause he did absolutely nothing.
Biden is 100% at fault for the first US deaths in Afghanistan in over a year, and his careless reckless plan has ruined millions of lives
This is an example of why the military doesn't mix with politics. The People pay for every penny of the military; the service members volunteer their service to carry out lawful orders mandated by Congress and ordered by the President. I don't give a damn about his opinions on "politicians". The military's job isn't to make or opine on political decisions, the military's job is to follow lawful orders.
Joined the Army in 93. Wanted to see combat. Got out after 4 years upset over not seeing combat. I was 26 when 9/11 happened. I had a recruiter call me to join back in. I knew my military history. I told the recruiter and my gf who is now my wife. “ The Russians lost. Why would we do any better” I developed Peacetime PTSD and a anger toward 9/11 vets. I was right over 20 years later. Stupid war and waste of lives. I used to be jealous of 9/11 vets and their combat deployments. I pity anyone who joined because of 9/11. I did not need a reason to join. People like Chris Kyle who could have joined when me was 18 plus. Not for a reason. You vets who joined later in life only because of 9/11 vets are posers.
Thank you
I think it's a trap. I dont think they completely left but are monitoring those that took over like a trap
