@gmacka6333 ah you had the good sense to get out then huh? Funnily enough, my mom lived in BC for 9 years and I can apparently apply for duel citizenship. UK gets ant worse, I may just do that
I joined the military at 18 and left at 51. Wounded twice, had malaria, and was arrested for shooting a gunman but got off that. As a cop I was bothered by PTSD , it appears to have gone now.. I would not have missed my life but was never SAS.
Great point. We click on these to listen to the stories these lads have. Yet so many podcast hosts take total control and speak over the person being interviewed.
Never been a Fan of Greer but i must say this lad has big balls and comes across as a genuine and brave soldier , Fantastic interview from a new UK fan of the channel . 👏
There were 3 SAS patrols in 1991 - Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero and Bravo Three Zero. Bravo One Zero is the patrol Lindsay is referring to, who called off the mission as soon as they got off the chopper, but I don't know about a book. Bravo Two Zero is the failed mission everyone knows. Bravo Three Zero, which does now have a book about it, stayed on mission and completed their objectives before being compromised. Bravo Three Zero chose to deploy with their Land Rovers, the only patrol of the 3 to do so, and so "having nowhere to hide" was less of an issue and they drove around behind enemy lines and supplied the necessary intelligence to destroy Scud sites ... before they were also compromised and had to make a dash for it. Luckily they had those vehicles. There is a great book on Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell, who was 2nd in command on the mission, and Damien Lewis.
That genuinely was the greatest hour and three quarters I’ve had on TH-cam. He is very articulate as you say and certainly v intelligent. There should be more role models like Lindsay working with youth. For me it’s his judgement and perception, a life of development and being the best person he can be is what I’m taking away from this episode, such wisdom too. I wish him well, I genuinely and sincerely do.
I'm an Englishman who served in the Scots guards but could have chose my local light infantry or Coldstream guards, it depends on the area you live in or if you have a family connection to a particular regiment. There was a lot of Northerners in the Scots guards because their recruitment went down to Lancashire, always got on well with the jocks and never got any hassle. 😊
Thanks guys for this show, love to listen to the UK Special Ops guys, I saw in UK news they are having real problems in UK with military recruitment kind of like in US, some retired UK generals even brought up the idea of needing the military draft in the UK, UK army is down to 73,000 soldiers now, pretty sad, UK Navy is in bad shape too, they can't even deploy their 2 aircraft carriers now, anyways. would love to see more UK SF in the future, thanks again Dave and Jack and D ...
I live in the U.S ( for 23 yrs now,& I became a Naturalized U.S Citizen in 11/2011& that was the last time I was over in the Uk) but from what I've seen ( learnt) over the yrs,the contributing factors of Politics and how more contemporary generations see things& bringing people into the country who are only interested in what they can get/take ( Free Housing+ ££££ ,Healthcare,Schooling & maybe even legal advice & rule of Law and a Passport at the end of it all) But ask these people to give something back& show some loyalty and gratitude & that is looked upon as ' How dare u,even think of asking that or the mere suggestion of it'! So I think they had better start recruiting more Soldiers from the Ghurkas,they're excellent Soldiers,Brave,smart and loyal & see it as a honor& it provides them with much needed income!
The draft thing was just propaganda. Primarily a response to the threat Trump has made to cease funding European NATO countries. As for army recruitment - all of the major nations figured out fifty years ago the war game is over. I'm talking solely about direct superpower on superpower engagements. Proxy wars are still a thing (as we've seen in Ukraine). But even they are becoming less likely given that everyone is rushing to sign agreements with nuclear powers. Robert McNamara, when he was Secretary of Defence, concluded following tens of thousands of game planned simulations run by the RAND Corporation that it is impossible for conflict to take place between superpowers without it escalating to Global Thermonuclear War. From that point on it became obvious that a shift to global governance was taking place. It's for this reason we're seeing the likes of Britain (and many other tier-1/tier-2 nations) winding down their militaries. Sure, we'll still retain a skeleton force. But it will be primarily to engage against terrorists, drug traffickers, immigration, coastal defence etc. The whole aircraft carrier thing is a joke. Everybody knows that with today's weapon systems there isn't an aircraft carrier in existence (US, British, Russian, Chinese etc.) which wouldn't be sat at the bottom of the ocean within 24 hours of major conflict beginning. These are antiquated technology and are simply undefendable against modern weapons. "Think your anti-ship missile defence systems are going to stop my Mach 7 surface skimming warhead (costing less than five million dollars)? OK ... now stop a hundred of them!"
Probably because of the way in which we are treated, in the U.S they really treat their military well. Here because we have so many lefty’s and immigrants we are spat on, ridiculed etc.
I've long been a big fan of the SAS - probably because my parents are Immigrants from Northern Ireland - my father really idolized these fellows thus I grew up listening to his many stories about the SAS and other branches of the British Military - You guys should try and get a Nepalese Gurka on sometime???,....anyway, another great podcast!!!!
Bravo 1, 2 and 3 went out on that mission. Bravo 2 zero everyone knows about (up to you if you want to believe Andy McNabs take on it!). Bravo 3 Zero - written by Des Powell (SAS legend) and Damien Lewis (SAS historian) is a truthful fascinating book.
Young british soldier conrad cole 17 years old was killed along other soldiers when there warrior afv was attacked in a freindly fire attack in the first gulf war.
My old regiment Rhf, my cousin's husband was Alfie conn, I was from Ayrshire I did my test for the army in Ayr and Irvine being a Glasgow and Ayrshire regiment, did my basic in albemarle barracks
I find it incredible that Lindsay has so little knowledge about the patrols from 1991.Books upon books were written about these patrols.I would have thought he would have read them just to pick up some info!!!Great interview thogh.You guys unlike some gave him plenty of time to answer. Great work boys,thanks!
You may of read the books but you missed the important part he spoke about..."dont judge what you don't understand "...the other lesson was the commander of the patrol was mocked for aborting the mission, but he made the right call and probably saved the lives of his patrol....that's true bravery in leadership in my opinion.
The Lad who had been from my regiment of Royal Scots was Vincent Stott. Some bloody size now compared to those days. I do believe there is a picture somewhere of vinny being in Northern Ireland prior to being deployed to Iraq. From Edinburgh in Scotland originally. His father had been ex military as well. Family business for most of us
Really appreciate this guys no-nonsense -straight up honest accounts, no fake bullshit just the facts...Never let ego get in the way. fair play mate.....Tunchy...ex 2 Para 1988-1997 (9 years in Iraq-CP
The training seems to get switched up every few years. Again, lately i believe they've fully intergrated basic training, making it the same across all branches. Im not sure how things work now in phase 2. When i joined, the length of time in phase 1 was 15 weeks. Your first 3 weeks, you were placed into a company called "AFC" which is Army Foundation Company, where you learn all the basics and the skills needed prior to phase 1 starting. This included the history of which ever regiment you're joining. How to iron and wash your kit. How to properly wash yourself and all basic hygein things (as some young lads came from rougher backgrounds, or where their parents didnt set them up for success in life, and they were never really shown these things from their families ) we would learn the basics of how to march, and learn all things to do with the military. All while building our basic fitness to a point where we would then have the basic fitness for when we joined our training platoons. After those 3 weeks, we were then sent to our prospective training platoons, and with the group of people we would then carry on with throughout training. This phase would then carry on for another 12 weeks, providing you dont pick up significant injuries, whcih would cause you to be "back squadded" and sent back a few weeks and i to another training platoon, that had started a few week after we has began the course. It was a hell of a lot, and quite the culture shock to a hell of a lot of young lads. Looking back at the AFC, it was also a place where you would see a huge attrition rate. Absolutely great times as imthinking back while writing this. I miss those days so much. It was hard, but it was amazing, and im still friends with people I met there and trained with. One guy in particular, was my bestfriend, we met at the recruiting office and swore our oaths of allegience together in the CO's office. I havent spoken to him in a while, as im back in Canada and hes in Brum. But i still consider him one of my greatest friends in the world, to this very day. Love you buddy. If you happen to read this Shakey, I'll call you soon, promise. Lol
Lewis Collins that starred in Who Dares Wins was a legit badass. He qualified for special forces reserve 21 or 23 SAS (can't be bothered to Google) but the MOD thought his celebrity was too dangerous.
the selection for 21/23 SAS is worlds apart from regular selection. Its based over 9 weekends and the odd week of tests. A 22 trooper once described 21/23 selection as just about on par as basic army training. Their primary role isn't really to fight, more reconnaissance and hearts and minds. Having said that, they are still super fit guys
Ref the Iraq deployment for Op Granby, from my recollection at the time (I was REME and 21) he was 17 years old when he went over and was about to turn 18. So he was not (apparently) meant to hit the ground in anger until he was 18, but he did fly over when 17. He was then killed unfortunately in a blue on blue incident from a US tankbuster before he could deploy fully, but it was always hazy at the time if he was “deployed”.
@@JohnSmith-le5oe Yeah I know of that story, at Kingsmill in 76 I think it was that year a ex Para was at this incident, plus a crown agent embedded with the Provo Asu.
very interesting comments from Lindsey. The guy who aborted in gulf got filled in by another regiment { personality clash between ex regiments they served in before sas) guy who thaught he was a coward for aborting. He in fact made correct call. He then went on to get re tasked and got a scud by calling in air support.
Yeah I remember that when the young lads were murdered in northern Ireland it was shocking what those terrorists done to anyone serving we were actually told we couldn't eat at mc Donald's because supposedly they supported them in some way it was a long time ago now so maybe I imagined it but I'm pretty sure we couldn't go to mc ds and I remember something about young lads under 18 were not allowed rifles and were issued pick axe handles instead anyway great show guys it's nice to see a fellow jock on the show all the best 🏴💪🇺🇸
Full respect for the armed forces. I wonder if they hate the corrupt politicians who send them to mainly pointless wars where they risk their lives and see their friends killed and maimed?
Sorry Lindsay love you mate and you are great but para reg training actually from the start is different more difficult entrance then all the way through we are held to a higher standard phase 1 and 2 I can remember in phase 1 at Lichfield with para reg we went on runs for 10 miles and the other regiments went on 6 and running back into barracks all the other reg were looking at us and we were always told by our NCOs they want to be like you but don’t have the billocks and want to be normal not elite
Do soldiers ever think about whose interests they are serving when they put their lives on the line? Do they ever think why am I here? I Never hear a soldier talk about this, it’s like the elephant in the room! I think it’s clear now in 2024 they serve corporate interests which is never a good thing for the people of the country they are told they are defending?
Sir, most of us are actualy patriots and if the truth be told get to love the life. I served for over a decade and most of my friends have served. I uderstand your question and the answer is yes. I hope this finds you well.
@@HappyBear376 Thank you for your service and thank you for your reply, it’s one of those questions no one wants to talk about. I too am a patriot but as I watch our politicians start wars in countries the people of the west have no issues with I get upset, our tax money is used, our children are sent to die all for the spoils? Which is never put back into the economy, these globalist elites that own every government in the west take it all, they are destroying everything our forefathers fought for, everything us patriots stand, everything the west stands for yet we do their dirty work and they make us pay for it. It’s madness 😔
Sadly 'Silently Proud' is evidently destroyed by individuals with weak character that this podcast evidences. They need public gratitude, stroking, to fulfil whatever is missing in their lives; or, as in this case, a cover, to other character traits that are hidden, but known by those that know. Real men, remain 'Silently Proud'.
@@patgeorge1 I actually put in 25 years starting as a boy soldier and finishing as an acting SSM (Squadron Sgt Major for the unwashed ignorant) and met a lot of genuine special soldiers not some catchpenny şube with a hard on for catchup!!!
Great episode, I served with Lindsey in The Royal Highland Fusiliers, he was an awesome soldier and one of the fittest people I ever knew.

No, he was in school in 91. He was Iraq 03.
I think the book that mentions the aborted patrol is Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell.

@@HappyBear376 Thank you for your service and thank you for your reply, it’s one of those questions no one wants to talk about. I too am a patriot but as I watch our politicians start wars in countries the people of the west have no issues with I get upset, our tax money is used, our children are sent to die all for the spoils? Which is never put back into the economy, these globalist elites that own every government in the west take it all, they are destroying everything our forefathers fought for, everything us patriots stand, everything the west stands for yet we do their dirty work and they make us pay for it. It’s madness 😔
Good fuckin interview.
Sadly 'Silently Proud' is evidently destroyed by individuals with weak character that this podcast evidences. They need public gratitude, stroking, to fulfil whatever is missing in their lives; or, as in this case, a cover, to other character traits that are hidden, but known by those that know. Real men, remain 'Silently Proud'.
I would really love your episodes if you would just get rid of that opening voice!!!!
