Many people speak about the "arrogance" of us Americans. It's not arrogance, it's pride in who we are and what we stand for. We're by no means perfect, but we are predominantly good, honorable, and caring people. Thank you for your video!
I love your videos... However I am not sure every American in trouble would have seal team six come to their rescue. Jessica Buchanan is the descendant of James Buchanan the 16th president of the United States. The Buchanan family has been a political dynasty that goes back all the way to the formation of the United States. The Buchanan family has had many seniors, congressman and other members of politics and high society. Which is in my opinion the reason she kept her maiden name. For whatever reason the media has not let this be known, lots of digging is required to find this out. But anyways, fun fact for you and the people who read this. Love all your content.

I haven’t really subscribed and done all of the things most people do when they’re into a channel but I absolutely love you guys videos. You guys are honorary Americans in my opinion, and I would do anything in my power if I could ever rescue if you did need it I have much love for you guys.

The English actor Hugh Laurie once said that America was too big to know itself. Not so. We know who we are. We are a group of diverse citizens UNITED in the absolute certainty that LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness are inherent rights for ALL humanity and will stand up for those rights whatever the cost, on our soil or foreign soil.

This was an awesome video, but you REALLY need to watch the interview of Jessica Buchanan! She goes in to details about their kidnapping, and the several months they spent being held hostage. The description of how the S.E.A.L.s rescued her from her point of view is well worth the watch.
Absolutely! You need to review the Jessica Buchanan story. It is her perspective on being kidnapped and rescued. If you teared up on this one, you need to have some tissues for her story.
It's probably too long for them to do a video with but I agree. Parts of this isn't accurate. Her talking about what happened is pretty emotional and not the same as it was told in this video. It is totally worth watching.
And when I see someone say, “What’s so good about being an American anyway?” I think of THAT! If anyone, anywhere in the world does me unjust harm, guys like that will either save me, or they’re gonna avenge me.
A very good friend of mine was a member of Seal Team 6 for 20 years. He will always be a SEAL, and he loved it. But he will also always carry physical and emotional scars for the rest of his life. If anyone remembers the old guy Rudy on Survivor, that is who trained him. Rudy, at 60 years old, did everything he demanded them to do, and if they messed up and had to do it over again, Rudy would do it over again too. He was a tough old guy. My friend cried when he passed from Alzheimer's a few years back.
I enjoy your channel! I wonder how your children feel about America? I have 2 friends who were SEAL team 6. One, RIP Josh Harris, didn’t make it back from rescuing friendlies from Afghanistan. SEAL team 6 (the elite team) takes their jobs and everyone’s lives, American or not, very seriously. American pride is something I hold dear to my heart. Every single solider risks their lives every single day to protect the freedoms of myself, my family, and every other American. 🇺🇸 🙏🏼
I've been a security contractor overseas for quite a number of years. I had a Project Manager who was retired from ST6. What an amazing individual he is. The training he gave us quite literally save some of our lives and that of our client. Nothing that he was forbidden to teach, but still above our level of previous training. He is a leader, a professional, a mentor, and I am honored to, to this day, call him my friend, as we communicate relatively often. Those men, along with their brothers in Delta, continue to do things in the middle of the night that we almost never hear about, while the rest of us sleep soundly in our beds. My profound salute and respect to these men.

New Zealand Family you make me feel less alone in this world🌎🌍 very often it appears that you 4 are my light in the tunnel lots of love and hugs!💯⭐️🤩❤️❤️❤️
The most powerful part of this story, to me, is how the Dutch guy said he was fortunate to have been kidnapped with an American. He's alive today because of it no doubt. Brings tears of pride to my eyes. The 60 Minutes interview where SHE tells the story is much better. There was some embellishment in the one you guys watched.
Having served there i know us Dutch / and other EU forces were told by US forces to stand down and let them handle it. I know you have youre pride and think that thats the only reason he is alive today, dutch Marsof (dutch seals) units are on par with seal training, equipment ... the countless ships we protected from these pirates in that exact neighberhood even rescued a few are a fact, and that speaks louder then words. there were Brittish units there as well able to do the same if needed.
Due to the RESPECT and UNDERSTANDING I see in your family reactions I have to say your right on the money .... but what puts more value is that knowing SEAL TEAM SIX made it IN , ACCOMPLISHED THE RESCUE .... leaving NO PIRATES ALIVE and EVERY SEAL TEAM SIX MEMBER made it home to their FAMILY ..... that's just AMAZING in its self , always a GOOD fight when everyone returns home on their OWN TWO FEET ....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤯🤯🤯 THANK YOU FOR sharing your reactions 😎
I can never restrain the tears when she's given the American flag and welcomed home. A tangible representation of your country that you can touch and hold onto, at a time when, emotionally, you must almost be numb. If you can actually feel anything I imagine it would be joy and hope, mixed with terror. Just as she feared more pirates would come and take her, it was probably a very long time before she felt truly safe.
I'm a u.s. marine corps vet. We have a saying . One for all. All for one. It doesn't matter the odds for you're personal safety. You do what is necessary to keep each other safe against any threat. Being an an American also means that I'm given the honor to protect those that don't have to live under my flag but simply value the same thing as us. That is peace and equality. Unfortunately that requires violence byen like me to step in to create that so bad men don't rob you're beautiful family or mine of just that. It may not make much sense to you or your family but I would gladly lay my life down to protect you and yours. If something unfortunate we're to happen to me. They would understand and be proud. I apologize for the long message. God bless you and your family and keep you safe. -paul.
9:14 you've nailed it on the head. America sends in rescue teams when it's "higher percentage of success" otherwise it can be pretty long before anything happens. We've had kidnapped citizens in China, Russia, and North Korea and we haven't gone to get them. We have however sent our own military to their deaths and traded valuable prisoners for rescuing US citizens who were traitors to the country or just being stupid (bowe bergdahl, brittney griner), those times are always controversial.
This was one of those moments as Americans where the political divide we feel in this country often was completely gone. We were so proud of our Country, our soldiers and our leadership in full unity. Jessica is obviously the ultimate hero in this story for surviving such an horrific ordeal, but our President our Seal team six were everything we aspire to be in this country.
@cchi9733 BEcause they had no idea where she was located, how to get to her without getting her killed or getting others killed. The hope was that they could simply pay ransom and get them back safely. When it became clear over a month in that that was obviously not going to be possible operations ramped up to engage the seals. Please remember that America values every citizen highly but we also have to ensure we arent sacrificing other lives to save one.
@@tofargone16 He actually most definitey was your President. (Unless you arent a US citizen?) When you disavow a POTUS simply because you disagree with their politics you are also disavowing the very democracy our country is built on. There have been many Presidents in this country I am not a supporter of. Some I did not vote for and some I did vote for that turned out to be dissapointing but our votes are cast as citizens of this country and if you claim to be "a proud American" then you must embrace our voting process and free speech even when you dont agree with the outcomes.
@@momzillainnova This was purely a military decision and operation. The White House was just an observer, but the guy on top always gets the credit. Also, just because someone is POTUS doesn't make him _your_ president or _my_ president -- that part is optional.
This is the first time I saw this video and when the soldier handed Jessica the flag and said welcome home just brought me to tears!!! 😭 These are the times that makes me so proud to be an American!!! ❤️ Our country will always be there for others in need which is awesome but always knowing our country will fight for us is just phenomenal!!! 🇺🇸❤
Jessica in another video talks about her return. The United States government offers hostage reintegration program. The first time her and her husband met it was for only five minutes and it was controlled because anything else would have been overwhelming for her. also she had to do counseling to regain her confidence and the ability to make decisions for herself because the bandits controlled every move she made for three months
I think we (US population) forget that actual men and women make up the military. We have to ask ourselves, "Can I do what they do?". I'm grateful to have those men and women serving. I wish our country did a better job at taking care of our military men and women when they come back home
@jamesallen8785 idk what this comment has to do with mine. I didn't even mention government, political affiliation, or the actual video. I hope you know you're part of the fucking idiots who decide to play this game the g0v has the country playing. Conservatives say they're right and the liberals think they're right, which is how they want it. Divide and conquer. Oldest trick in the book
This was good BUT watch the 60 minutes interview with Jessica...hearing the story from her point of view was incredible. This was a promo for Seal Team 6 (who are the best) but Jessica's version of the story is much better.
Negotiation with terrorists has always been ANATHEMA in the U.S.A. "Rewarding someone for doing something," says Nadine. Never pay a terrorist. Right on!
The U.S. tradition of non negotiation with terrorists, dates back to shortly after the founding. It began when pirates captured a U.S. ship and took the crew hostage. The U.S. sacrificed the sailors when the U.S. attacked the pirate port and fortress located on the shores of Tripoli, in Libya. They couldn't rescue the sailors, but they did burn the U.S. ship that was captured. The attack ended the harassment of U.S. flagged ships, by the pirates.
Unless they have oil. Then they can send 14 people to knock down the Twin Towers or send a few to dismember journalists from a US Newspaper. Don’t believe the hype.
Wholeheartedly agree! No negotiations with terrorists. However, this video has me little bit confused. Didn't the narrator state that the terrorists were offered $ 1,5 million USD? Doesn't that in and of itself mean negotiations? I hope that offer was only a ploy to bide time.
Seal Team Six are the greatest unit of warriors the world has ever seen. Discipline, commitment, heart, professionalism. They do what is considered impossible.
As many have already said, you should really watch the interview of Jessica Buchanan. It's much more emotional (not that this wasn't emotional on some level, but it was more on the technical side) and gives her perspective of what happened.
Those whose faces are not blurred out in the pic of the team have either been killed in action, or have released the photos themselves, blurring out team members who are still serving or didnt want their identity exposed.
An elder of my family was in the pacific theater of WWII. He was a combat vet which means that he was on the front lines of combat. He never talked about it. One night we watch a show about the the largest island country..Australia. Dad said that the Australia military was difficult to keep up with. He finally asked an Aussie why they were so fanatical. The reply was, "We Dont want to speak Japanese." That means they are a global force on their own. My dad was a good man.
@@Shuganuttz it’s just a stereo typical American that doesn’t really know much about anything outside of America not knowing the difference between New Zealand and Australia.
You do not have to wonder how she feels today...she has been interviewed and even written a book called "Impossible Odds" She has nothing but high praise and gratitude for the seal team six members who rescued her.
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY SIR. I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A VERY GREAT TIME. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR COMING BACK ON. PLEASE KEEP UP ALL YOUR SHOWS SIR. I LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE COOKING AND SOMEBODY'S COMING IN AND STEALING A TASTE.
This country has gone through far too much to ever give in or surrender. Men died bravely while building and protecting this country long before this country would ever love and respect them. Despite all of faults and all of the division. One thing will always ring true to us. We are the Home of the Brave Questioning that is not going to benefit anyone.
I think it is also really cool how quickly personnel were mobilized and aware of the situation, aware and keeping track of US citizens when abroad. When kidnapped and worried that it is all over, praying someone rescues you, it is comforting to know those prayers of Jessica's were answered, quickly, and efficiently, by experts...going to order the book now... and Love to you guys, America's favorite NZ Family
Story you might want to see is movie “Sully” starring Tom Hanks. Based on a true story. On January 15, 2009, flock of Canadian geese flew into both engines of passenger jet about 5 minutes after takeoff. They lost both engines & were trying to make it to an airport for an emergency landing. They couldn’t make it to an airport & pilot Sully Sullenberger landed plane safely in Hudson River that runs through New York City. As frigid icy water began to seep into plane, flight crew began evacuating everyone onto wings of plane to await rescue. Tugboats, ferries, & port authority boats with assistance from police scuba teams rescued all 155 passengers & flight crew alive with minor injuries within 24 minutes. It got the nickname ‘Miracle on the Hudson.’ FYI, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates all plane, train, & bus crashes in the U.S. They were skeptical that plane lost both engines almost at the same time & initially believed pilot & copilot made errors which may have contributed to crash. NTSB removed plane wreckage from river & took it to a local warehouse to examine. They ran numerous simulations of crash which incorrectly indicated plane could have crash landed at a local airport. When 1 engine was recovered, it clearly showed it wasn’t pilot error & engine failures were caused by geese & plane couldn’t have made it to any airport. Movie isn’t available for free online, but are several places where it can be watched for $3.99 on youtube. There are several movie clips on youtube that show pieces of movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sully_(film)
2 of the best Navy Seal stories or moments in my opinion are Lone Survivor and American Sniper. Lone Survivor is about a Seal Team of 4 people get brutally ambushed with only 1 member making it out alive. They made a movie about it. Then the most well known is American Sniper which is about the worlds best sniper on the seals that had the most confirmed kills. It’s sad because he retires to spend more time with his family only to lose his life at a firing range where he helped teach disabled kids to shoot.
@@darthrevan1712 you are correct on both counts. Chris Kyle was the best sniper in *American* history and died at a firing range trying to help a fellow veteran. He has 160 confirmed kills out of his 255 claimed. Simo Hayha, a Finnish sniper during the Winter War in 1939 is credited with being the "world's best" in terms of kill count, over 500.
The other hostage, the Dutch man said the only reason he's alive is because Jessica was an American. You should have watched the 60 Minutes interview first.
My New Zealand Family, what I love the most about you is that I have learned as much, or even more, of my own country through your videos! I love my country very much! And I love you just as much because as New Zealanders, you have as deep a love for America as I do!
As a side note. The helicopter that took Jessica from the scene is at the Seal Museum in Ft. Pierce FL. It's a great museum if you have the chance. They also have the Cap. Phillips life boat there.
As a American Navy Veteran. We do that with either Seal team 6or our Army Delta Force because the next time someone want to take an American hostage they have to think that we have people that can go anywhere in the world and get our people from them.
Is video is a perfect example of why we are so proud of USA. American flags are displayed everywhere to show the pride we have for USA. We have some much pride for our American soliders. Seal team 6 put their lives on the line to save a fellow American. When the solider present Jessica with the American flag and welcomes her home it brought me to tears. I am proud to be American!!
Being rescued from being taken hostage depends on who you are, and how it can be politically exploited. This rescue was great PR, but there are other Americans wrongfully jailed or taken hostage that our government completely ignores, because it doesn't benefit them in any way to do something about it.
My wife and I love watching your channel, and look forward to seeing your family. We like Atlanta 's kitchen so much, I can't wait to see what she makes she makes when she gets to Alabama on her list. Blessings from Brenda and Wendell Bunn from empire alabama.
While she was certainly held hostage, and the SEALS did a helluva job; the other part of this was the State Department warned EVERY American NOT to go to Somalia. There was no centralized authority (big shock) and thus you were literally on your own. Oh and CIA, NSA and Service Intel contributed heavily to the success of this op. Which the SEALS would be the first to acknowledge.
A good example of why our government doesn’t pay ransom is the pirates that took over the American flagged ship the Maersk Alabama. The movie “Captain Phillips” was made from. Our snipers took out 3 pirates in a life boat that was IN the ocean rocking back and forth without so much as a scratch on the hostage. So after seeing the outcome of that, we never ever had any American Flagged water craft of any kind taken hostage by anyone. Had we paid the ransom then every single American flagged boat would have been Overtaken, kidnapped and held for ransom.
I know you won’t want to post two videos of the same story but it’s worth watching the 60 Minutes episode of the rescue. Definitely the best telling of the story. 🤙🏻

American service members take freedom seriously! I will never take for granted what they serve for
Love you guys! I’d like to think if anyone ever messed a hair on your head every American fan would step up to straighten it❤
New Zealand Family you make me feel less alone in this world🌎🌍 very often it appears that you 4 are my light in the tunnel lots of love and hugs!💯⭐️🤩❤️❤️❤️
The most powerful part of this story, to me, is how the Dutch guy said he was fortunate to have been kidnapped with an American. He's alive today because of it no doubt. Brings tears of pride to my eyes. The 60 Minutes interview where SHE tells the story is much better. There was some embellishment in the one you guys watched.

Danish, he was from Denmark, not the Netherlands.
The most important thing an American can own is a US passport
Having served there i know us Dutch / and other EU forces were told by US forces to stand down and let them handle it. I know you have youre pride and think that thats the only reason he is alive today, dutch Marsof (dutch seals) units are on par with seal training, equipment ... the countless ships we protected from these pirates in that exact neighberhood even rescued a few are a fact, and that speaks louder then words. there were Brittish units there as well able to do the same if needed.

My nephew was a Navy Seal. God bless be safe love ya'll ❤😊
Due to the RESPECT and UNDERSTANDING I see in your family reactions I have to say your right on the money .... but what puts more value is that knowing SEAL TEAM SIX made it IN , ACCOMPLISHED THE RESCUE .... leaving NO PIRATES ALIVE and EVERY SEAL TEAM SIX MEMBER made it home to their FAMILY ..... that's just AMAZING in its self , always a GOOD fight when everyone returns home on their OWN TWO FEET ....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤯🤯🤯 THANK YOU FOR sharing your reactions 😎

I can never restrain the tears when she's given the American flag and welcomed home. A tangible representation of your country that you can touch and hold onto, at a time when, emotionally, you must almost be numb. If you can actually feel anything I imagine it would be joy and hope, mixed with terror. Just as she feared more pirates would come and take her, it was probably a very long time before she felt truly safe.

I'm a u.s. marine corps vet. We have a saying . One for all. All for one. It doesn't matter the odds for you're personal safety. You do what is necessary to keep each other safe against any threat. Being an an American also means that I'm given the honor to protect those that don't have to live under my flag but simply value the same thing as us. That is peace and equality. Unfortunately that requires violence byen like me to step in to create that so bad men don't rob you're beautiful family or mine of just that. It may not make much sense to you or your family but I would gladly lay my life down to protect you and yours. If something unfortunate we're to happen to me. They would understand and be proud. I apologize for the long message. God bless you and your family and keep you safe. -paul.
This was the correct response! However, we as citizens must realize that we bear some responsibly for our own security too!
9:14 you've nailed it on the head. America sends in rescue teams when it's "higher percentage of success" otherwise it can be pretty long before anything happens. We've had kidnapped citizens in China, Russia, and North Korea and we haven't gone to get them.
We have however sent our own military to their deaths and traded valuable prisoners for rescuing US citizens who were traitors to the country or just being stupid (bowe bergdahl, brittney griner), those times are always controversial.
This was one of those moments as Americans where the political divide we feel in this country often was completely gone. We were so proud of our Country, our soldiers and our leadership in full unity. Jessica is obviously the ultimate hero in this story for surviving such an horrific ordeal, but our President our Seal team six were everything we aspire to be in this country.
he wasnt my preziedent.
@cchi9733 BEcause they had no idea where she was located, how to get to her without getting her killed or getting others killed. The hope was that they could simply pay ransom and get them back safely. When it became clear over a month in that that was obviously not going to be possible operations ramped up to engage the seals. Please remember that America values every citizen highly but we also have to ensure we arent sacrificing other lives to save one.
@@tofargone16 He actually most definitey was your President. (Unless you arent a US citizen?) When you disavow a POTUS simply because you disagree with their politics you are also disavowing the very democracy our country is built on. There have been many Presidents in this country I am not a supporter of. Some I did not vote for and some I did vote for that turned out to be dissapointing but our votes are cast as citizens of this country and if you claim to be "a proud American" then you must embrace our voting process and free speech even when you dont agree with the outcomes.
@@momzillainnova animals cant be prez. even if they are elected just because; he be an animal. like that one was.
@@momzillainnova This was purely a military decision and operation. The White House was just an observer, but the guy on top always gets the credit. Also, just because someone is POTUS doesn't make him _your_ president or _my_ president -- that part is optional.
This is the first time I saw this video and when the soldier handed Jessica the flag and said welcome home just brought me to tears!!! 😭 These are the times that makes me so proud to be an American!!! ❤️ Our country will always be there for others in need which is awesome but always knowing our country will fight for us is just phenomenal!!! 🇺🇸❤
They have to blur out the faces of current SEAL Team or special operation members.
Jessica in another video talks about her return. The United States government offers hostage reintegration program. The first time her and her husband met it was for only five minutes and it was controlled because anything else would have been overwhelming for her. also she had to do counseling to regain her confidence and the ability to make decisions for herself because the bandits controlled every move she made for three months
Wow, I haven't seen that. Do you know the title?
@your_new_zealand_family__ Scam account
Please watch the 60 minutes interview about this rescue! Jessica Buchanans story is tear jerking!
I think we (US population) forget that actual men and women make up the military. We have to ask ourselves, "Can I do what they do?". I'm grateful to have those men and women serving. I wish our country did a better job at taking care of our military men and women when they come back home
A GREAT PROPAGANDA FILM FOR PRES OBAMMY!!
@jamesallen8785 idk what this comment has to do with mine. I didn't even mention government, political affiliation, or the actual video.
I hope you know you're part of the fucking idiots who decide to play this game the g0v has the country playing. Conservatives say they're right and the liberals think they're right, which is how they want it. Divide and conquer. Oldest trick in the book
Her kidnapped friend said he was lucky to be kidnapped with an American.
As everyone has said you really need to watch the 60 minutes episode on this. The rescure though Jessica's eyes is definitely worth the watch.
You guys are one of my favorite families to watch!! Hello from St.louis Missouri😊
This was good BUT watch the 60 minutes interview with Jessica...hearing the story from her point of view was incredible. This was a promo for Seal Team 6 (who are the best) but Jessica's version of the story is much better.
This video is a boat load of lies compared to Jessica's story and her book.
@@savannah505 I agree
The SAS are the best special forces in the world.
Negotiation with terrorists has always been ANATHEMA in the U.S.A. "Rewarding someone for doing something," says Nadine. Never pay a terrorist. Right on!
The U.S. tradition of non negotiation with terrorists, dates back to shortly after the founding. It began when pirates captured a U.S. ship and took the crew hostage. The U.S. sacrificed the sailors when the U.S. attacked the pirate port and fortress located on the shores of Tripoli, in Libya. They couldn't rescue the sailors, but they did burn the U.S. ship that was captured. The attack ended the harassment of U.S. flagged ships, by the pirates.
Sadly except for when we negotiated with Putin and gave Russia back the Merchant of Death.
@@caliber693 Sad but true.
Unless they have oil. Then they can send 14 people to knock down the Twin Towers or send a few to dismember journalists from a US Newspaper.
Don’t believe the hype.
Wholeheartedly agree! No negotiations with terrorists. However, this video has me little bit confused. Didn't the narrator state that the terrorists were offered $ 1,5 million USD? Doesn't that in and of itself mean negotiations? I hope that offer was only a ploy to bide time.
There’s a video of Jessica herself telling this story....the story is far better coming from her herself.
Absolutely - it's a great narrative from Jessica and you should do a follow up with it.
They blur their faces out because they’re still active seals. Not until they retire will their faces be shown.
I agree with those who say you need to watch the interview with Jessica herself. Her telling of the story is riveting.
@your_new_zealand_family__ Scam account
Seal Team Six are the greatest unit of warriors the world has ever seen. Discipline, commitment, heart, professionalism. They do what is considered impossible.
As many have already said, you should really watch the interview of Jessica Buchanan. It's much more emotional (not that this wasn't emotional on some level, but it was more on the technical side) and gives her perspective of what happened.
Yes the 60 minutes interview of Jessica telling the story is really good as well.
I have a cousin who is on one of the teams on the east coast. We are extremely proud of him. He's at the tip of the spear.
I salute him for his service
@@lonniehhenson7925 Thank you
I think the selfless response from the Seal team was heart moving..And yes, I feel this was the correct response to rescue this person.
Those whose faces are not blurred out in the pic of the team have either been killed in action, or have released the photos themselves, blurring out team members who are still serving or didnt want their identity exposed.
The 60 minutes interview is where she tells her store and her feelings.
We do not negotiate with terrorists foreign or domestic.
An elder of my family was in the pacific theater of WWII. He was a combat vet which means that he was on the front lines of combat. He never talked about it. One night we watch a show about the the largest island country..Australia. Dad said that the Australia military was difficult to keep up with. He finally asked an Aussie why they were so fanatical. The reply was, "We Dont want to speak Japanese." That means they are a global force on their own. My dad was a good man.
now they'll do whatever they're told.
Their government will be telling them to speak Chinese soon and they'll gladly do it.. lol...
What does this have to do with the video?
@@ShuganuttzIt's combat related, unless you mean to the antagonist in the comment section.
@@Shuganuttz agreed. irrelevant. Kiwis and Aussies i've met don't appreciate being associated with one another.
@@Shuganuttz it’s just a stereo typical American that doesn’t really know much about anything outside of America not knowing the difference between New Zealand and Australia.
Even the kids were glued to the screen seemingly in anticipation of the bad ass rescue.
You do not have to wonder how she feels today...she has been interviewed and even written a book called "Impossible Odds" She has nothing but high praise and gratitude for the seal team six members who rescued her.
Paul, the Danish hostage, later said his lucky break was getting kidnapped with an American.
Facts thats what i hate about Denmark i live here and they never save hostages and also refuse to negotiate
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY SIR. I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A VERY GREAT TIME. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR COMING BACK ON. PLEASE KEEP UP ALL YOUR SHOWS SIR. I LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE COOKING AND SOMEBODY'S COMING IN AND STEALING A TASTE.
Need to watch the 60 minutes interview with Jessica. So amazing and heartwarming. So proud.
Love you guys. Can't wait till y'all visit us
This country has gone through far too much to ever give in or surrender.
Men died bravely while building and protecting this country long before this country would ever love and respect them.
Despite all of faults and all of the division. One thing will always ring true to us.
We are the Home of the Brave
Questioning that is not going to benefit anyone.
I think it is also really cool how quickly personnel were mobilized and aware of the situation, aware and keeping track of US citizens when abroad. When kidnapped and worried that it is all over, praying someone rescues you, it is comforting to know those prayers of Jessica's were answered, quickly, and efficiently, by experts...going to order the book now... and Love to you guys, America's favorite NZ Family
The bravery of everyone involved is why we stand, face the flag and cover our hearts for the anthem
Story you might want to see is movie “Sully” starring Tom Hanks. Based on a true story. On January 15, 2009, flock of Canadian geese flew into both engines of passenger jet about 5 minutes after takeoff. They lost both engines & were trying to make it to an airport for an emergency landing. They couldn’t make it to an airport & pilot Sully Sullenberger landed plane safely in Hudson River that runs through New York City. As frigid icy water began to seep into plane, flight crew began evacuating everyone onto wings of plane to await rescue. Tugboats, ferries, & port authority boats with assistance from police scuba teams rescued all 155 passengers & flight crew alive with minor injuries within 24 minutes. It got the nickname ‘Miracle on the Hudson.’
FYI, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates all plane, train, & bus crashes in the U.S. They were skeptical that plane lost both engines almost at the same time & initially believed pilot & copilot made errors which may have contributed to crash. NTSB removed plane wreckage from river & took it to a local warehouse to examine. They ran numerous simulations of crash which incorrectly indicated plane could have crash landed at a local airport. When 1 engine was recovered, it clearly showed it wasn’t pilot error & engine failures were caused by geese & plane couldn’t have made it to any airport.
Movie isn’t available for free online, but are several places where it can be watched for $3.99 on youtube. There are several movie clips on youtube that show pieces of movie.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sully_(film)
2 of the best Navy Seal stories or moments in my opinion are Lone Survivor and American Sniper. Lone Survivor is about a Seal Team of 4 people get brutally ambushed with only 1 member making it out alive. They made a movie about it. Then the most well known is American Sniper which is about the worlds best sniper on the seals that had the most confirmed kills. It’s sad because he retires to spend more time with his family only to lose his life at a firing range where he helped teach disabled kids to shoot.
I thought he was only the best in the US? Also, I thought he died at a firing range teaching disabled vets? Or is that just the movie version
@@darthrevan1712 you are correct on both counts. Chris Kyle was the best sniper in *American* history and died at a firing range trying to help a fellow veteran. He has 160 confirmed kills out of his 255 claimed. Simo Hayha, a Finnish sniper during the Winter War in 1939 is credited with being the "world's best" in terms of kill count, over 500.
@@sykosocial Okay, that's what I thought hahaha. But didn't want to spread false information
By the way have you heard about David GOGGINS?
Her recount of the events that night needs to be seen. It really shows what that level of tactical advantage and training looks like to a civilian
@your_new_zealand_family__ Scam account
The other hostage, the Dutch man said the only reason he's alive is because Jessica was an American. You should have watched the 60 Minutes interview first.
I love your family, I watch all of your podcasts, videos. I look forward to your videos, no matter how long it takes I am happy to watch them.
My New Zealand Family, what I love the most about you is that I have learned as much, or even more, of my own country through your videos! I love my country very much! And I love you just as much because as New Zealanders, you have as deep a love for America as I do!
@your_new_zealand_family__ Scam account
You need to watch the video where she is interviewed and tells the story in her own words. It's great.
As a side note. The helicopter that took Jessica from the scene is at the Seal Museum in Ft. Pierce FL. It's a great museum if you have the chance. They also have the Cap. Phillips life boat there.
As a American Navy Veteran. We do that with either Seal team 6or our Army Delta Force because the next time someone want to take an American hostage they have to think that we have people that can go anywhere in the world and get our people from them.
Dad, brother, and brother-in-law were all 82nd Airborne, they’re pretty good unit too.
Americans had such a low risk of being kidnapped because of this policy, but it's recently changed and we would now rather just pay and hope
Well, that comes with a weak leadership. We gave an arms dealer for a basketball player.
Screw that! Biden is a communist and will be dealt with eventually!!
Is video is a perfect example of why we are so proud of USA. American flags are displayed everywhere to show the pride we have for USA. We have some much pride for our American soliders. Seal team 6 put their lives on the line to save a fellow American. When the solider present Jessica with the American flag and welcomes her home it brought me to tears. I am proud to be American!!
Being rescued from being taken hostage depends on who you are, and how it can be politically exploited. This rescue was great PR, but there are other Americans wrongfully jailed or taken hostage that our government completely ignores, because it doesn't benefit them in any way to do something about it.

Your video was a masterpiece! The way you engage your audience is remarkable. Keep up the great work and keep us entertained
My wife and I love watching your channel, and look forward to seeing your family. We like Atlanta 's kitchen so much, I can't wait to see what she makes she makes when she gets to Alabama on her list. Blessings from Brenda and Wendell Bunn from empire alabama.
Sending SEAL Team Six to get Jessica out was the right thing to do. Paying the ransom would only encourage more kidnappings. Excellent video.
Stories like this being tears to my eyes and chills to my body and make me proud to be an American
Cool video stay strong
While she was certainly held hostage, and the SEALS did a helluva job; the other part of this was the State Department warned EVERY American NOT to go to Somalia. There was no centralized authority (big shock) and thus you were literally on your own. Oh and CIA, NSA and Service Intel contributed heavily to the success of this op. Which the SEALS would be the first to acknowledge.
Nice video and reaction. What a harrowing experience for Jessica and the other guy. Great ending to the story.
A good example of why our government doesn’t pay ransom is the pirates that took over the American flagged ship the Maersk Alabama. The movie “Captain Phillips” was made from. Our snipers took out 3 pirates in a life boat that was IN the ocean rocking back and forth without so much as a scratch on the hostage. So after seeing the outcome of that, we never ever had any American Flagged water craft of any kind taken hostage by anyone. Had we paid the ransom then every single American flagged boat would have been Overtaken, kidnapped and held for ransom.
I know you won’t want to post two videos of the same story but it’s worth watching the 60 Minutes episode of the rescue. Definitely the best telling of the story. 🤙🏻
