These ordinary men with a few American soldiers having the right knowledge and understand the limits of their equipment was a remarkable feat. Beating. Dug in well defended enemy wouldn’t have been possible without muzzle and aircraft help. That’s your combined arms operation in perfect step with one another. Each Green Beret should have been given a bronze star at least for heroism. Fight in an enemy country so deep inside, no help could come for any of them had they been wounded or incapacitated or death. This alone would be nerve wrecking knowing death could happen here with only local fighters with courage in abundance. This shows the training helps calm the nerves that kicks in when the heat was in without any wounded American is remarkable in a tough spot.
There is no ordinary men or women in Iraq-Syrian Kurdistan .......Just Google Kurdish Peshmerga or YPG you'll get your answer ...... We knw only a basic law "Survival of the fittest"... We've faced Saddam's Republican Guards, Turkish Airstrikes , Syrian Army and later daesh (ISIS) with the help of US air-cover .......
Viking Hammer & this spec ops coverage was exclusive & excellent for its time. I believe this was covered in Maxim magazine as well. Maxim & Playboy were the OG social media platforms, with large sections interacting with their subs. (Even know all answers, info & updates would be at least 1 month old by the time we received the next magazine in the mail. Can u imagine? 😂 ) But military coverage was common at that time. So that hyped this mission up even more. If u have not seen this episode, then Enjoy bro, i won't spoil it. *Go Army 🇺🇸 & allied forces 🌎*
The day before the 101st Airbourne were supposed to take off from Turkey Airbases, i was shown on a early map, the Turks changed their mind, thats why if you look at the war map we only came from the south, we didn't have assets in the North but ones that were there before the war, I was told they spent 24 hours painting Humvees into Red Cross vehicles to get over the border...the enemy saw that , insurgents started pour over the Syrian border...we had no operation control in the North, we just had the Kurds, that why it was called Operation Northern "Delay "which occurred on 26 March 2003 ,It involved dropping 1,000 paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade into Northern Iraq.
All that fire power the U.S. has and lost in Vietnam lost in Afghanistan and these people didn’t have planes dropping bombs or helicopters shooting rockets and 50 cal. bullets but they did have many many fighters who wouldn’t quit.
You mean the fighters that sent kids,women, and pregnant women as suicide bombers, hid and fought inside the mosque. Which the U.S. soldiers knew they couldn't. I assuming until they know for sure the were shooting from them.
I was in Class 3-85, we started with just shy of 250 studs, 13 of us graduated 7 months later. Interesting aside, I served with (now LtGen Tovo) then CPT Tovo in 1991…good times. The best part of this video? The little things like the black fleece tops shown were accurate, we called them Enduring Freedom Varsity Jackets. I disagree with the statement that we didn’t view the Peshmerga as professional soldiers, everyone I knew felt that we were grateful for them being on our side.
The acting and the fake gun sound overlays sure are something else in this documentary. They make every gun , that isn't actual footage, sound like a peashooter. The Barrett scene is particularly funny.
That's why SF calls themselves "the quiet professionals." A moniker that has been copied by other special operations units. Another spec op organization, which will not be named, would have acted in cheesy movies, made beefcake calendars, and argued among themselves about who shot who and who killed who. Anybody got a Budweiser?
Considering SF's units, both British and American, are tiny compared to regular forces, they are huge force multipliers......... when these lads are on your case, you might as well give up!! 🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️
What is a Viking hammer? (Thor's Hammer) In Norse mythology, Thor is the god of thunder and his hammer (called Mjölnir) has the power of lightning. During the era of Viking ascendancy, miniature Thor's Hammers were often used as religious amulets. Today, the Hammer is a major symbol for those who follow neo-Norse religions such as Asatru.
greg are you a real OG ? and futher i was just wondering if that manly jet black hear is all your own or if you decided you look better..more youthful even using a proprietry hair die such as just for men either way you look super for a man of that age ....well done greg
Was this operation made into a movie where the actors rode on horses to fight in the scenes? I remember seeing something like that, but forgot the name of the film.
Special operations forces are the best! Crossed trained language experts, Our nations finest. Only those who make the cut are on duty. Constant training and preparation.
Green beret or Rangers who's the elite are they around tier 2. Not from the USA from Scotland ,i love the ballad ,the Royal Marines and the Parachute Regiment are they around the same tier .
The tier system isint really an official thing. But green berets and rangers would be considered "tier 2". The mission sets are different. Green berets a highly skilled in Forgien internal Defense or teaching gureillas or fighters In different countries how to wage unconventional warfare. They are also highly skilled in direct action raids. There bread and butter is small 12 man teams called ODAs and they insert themselves with the local indigenous. They all can speak a second language and sometimes multiple languages. The Rangers on the other hand are still part of the U.S Army. They are the U.S Army's premier raid unit. If you need a town/village, airfield, etc taken with absolute speed and violence of action you call the Rangers. They roll in with a large group of Soilders and meet the enemy with complete force. They are kinda like the sledge hammer of the U.S Military.
I can understand the Kurdish soldiers hesitation in trusting the USA forces, like all(?) large nations, help comes when it helps the large nation's agenda
spec ops = no helmets if you think about it to conceal self those black touques (knitted caps) though. They don't engage in fights that would draw artillery fire.
Saddam did use chemical weapons on villages. But because of American media. They knew we were going to invade Iraq. And then t gave Saddam plenty of time to move those chemical weapons, or sell them without us knowing. It would be easy to hide chemical weapons. There’s plenty of dessert in Iraq. All they had to do was take small truck loads in hundreds of different directions and bury them. We were monitoring large movements of trucks, and military forces. Not smaller groups. Over the years we have found weapons all over Iraq. Small caches of chemical weapons. All over Iraq in underground areas the U.S. never knew existed until they were found.
lol just little school kid level ricin lab, btw ricin needs to get into blood trough piercing or food to be deadly, so its definetly not some sort of mass weapon at all, it is useful only in assesinations james bond style...
i love this video dont get me wrong and i understand that theyre are cgi and blanks probably being used throughout this video but cmon 90% of the firefight scenes the bolt on every gun or ak-47 isnt even moving they just edited in muzzle flash lmao
The ads for " every person " qualifies for a government subsidy is a lie!!! I was just told I don't qualify!! 11 x's I've tried!!! Get a grip! I'm 82 years old!!!! :( :(
I m 57 year old Kurd and remembered this, just noticed this documentary didn't say Iranian Kurdish fighters also PKK fighters from was in this fight , in total 800 AL Ansar fighters killed and all them was radical jihadist Kurd too that why this fight was very difficult AL ansar was supported by Islamic Republic of Iran to fight Kurdish nationalism and Kurdish right
The islamist were kurds too that's why they were pussing out ansar al islam is a kurdish jihadist group with a fierce reputation everyone here knows about them they still operate in syria rn only locals knows how they are
Easter sunday a biblical day you mention a green beria thats great because the green beria Nicaragua is the soldier Hollywood Duncan was almost court Marshall over thanks brother it is a simple return not a hostel retrieve
I came here just to comment this because it was so shockingly bad. Looks a lot closer to Singapore. Was this a joke about how Americans can't find countries they're about to invade on a map? If not, this documentary loses all credibility.
No disrespect to their fighting skills, but seriously, they couldn't grow some facial hair before arriving? Today, that is a no brainer. Also, pretty sure the Blue Angels were not part of the F18 strike package (26:28).
Re-enacted, clearly didn’t have military consultants that paid very much attention to those details unfortunately! Us military types know better, you’re right. A colonel would have a decently formed beret! 🤦🏼♂️
This was hilarious A.F,the fact it was focused more on the humor amongst both the berets and warriors made this have a more WE ARE ONE tone or feeling to it. There are evil americans and evil arabs, doesn't mean we cannot work together or totally be dismissive
No overwhelming background audio, the meaningful pauses (thanks, edit) striking visuals.
Makes for an educational and entertaining video. Oh and awesome VO too
Thats the best video ive ever watched thank you for that you have all my support im a veteran too ive been there before too

The narrator ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
My thanks for posting. Very interesting presentation
The narrator is genius
My dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam. Funny how similar the roles are, even though one was a desert and one was a jungle.
Still a Green Beret no matter the place.......
Some things don’t change. The USA will always need the brave green berets.
Same mantras. ADAPT TO OVERCOME . AUDACITY and TACTICS.
spend more of that time and effort helping the veterans & families at home.
The videos spread awareness. Just enough to keep us fed.
Love this stuff, and the same brilliant commentator .
👍 up Wonder damn good documentary!
All that fire power the U.S. has and lost in Vietnam lost in Afghanistan and these people didn’t have planes dropping bombs or helicopters shooting rockets and 50 cal. bullets but they did have many many fighters who wouldn’t quit.

Interesting that none of these extraordinary fighters have Hollywood appearances and boastfulness. Men one would never expect to be so brave.
That's why SF calls themselves "the quiet professionals." A moniker that has been copied by other special operations units. Another spec op organization, which will not be named, would have acted in cheesy movies, made beefcake calendars, and argued among themselves about who shot who and who killed who. Anybody got a Budweiser?
..thats for seals and jews
The voice of this narrator is superp
John Barnett, revisited December 21 2024 1:29 thanks ❤❤❤❤
With maturity comes the realization that “terrorist” is a highly subjective term.
Surprisingly few mounted scoops to be fighting at such long range
Awesome op
Considering SF's units, both British and American, are tiny compared to regular forces, they are huge force multipliers......... when these lads are on your case, you might as well give up!! 🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️

God doesnt like the gae
Iraq was hell on earth...we lost soldiers
Your soldiers should never have been there the invasion was based on lies there was no weapons of mass destruction
Was this operation made into a movie where the actors rode on horses to fight in the scenes? I remember seeing something like that, but forgot the name of the film.
I think you’re thinking of 12 strong, that’s the movie about some of the first guys that went into the Middle East after 9/11
12 Strong. Documented SF involvement with Northern Alliance in northern Afghanistan.

How about what year is this? Tip of the spear, OVH oif/what? What’s the patch?

The background music destroyed the program.
I can understand the Kurdish soldiers hesitation in trusting the USA forces, like all(?) large nations, help comes when it helps the large nation's agenda
spec ops = no helmets if you think about it to conceal self those black touques (knitted caps) though. They don't engage in fights that would draw artillery fire.
basically they don't dig in or do show of force/patrol type operations.
regular army = carry as much gear as you can't carry. spec ops = be light on your feet.
They weren't waering the SF emblem or unit shield, actually they would be in the indigenous clothes
Yes they think they are brave like dogs going after one indigenous person
Wait wait are we talking chemical weapons or "chemical weapons" like Saddam supposedly had?
Saddam did use chemical weapons on villages. But because of American media. They knew we were going to invade Iraq. And then t gave Saddam plenty of time to move those chemical weapons, or sell them without us knowing. It would be easy to hide chemical weapons. There’s plenty of dessert in Iraq.

lol just little school kid level ricin lab, btw ricin needs to get into blood trough piercing or food to be deadly, so its definetly not some sort of mass weapon at all, it is useful only in assesinations james bond style...
red indians also had wmds
They ate those beans and let out deadly farths!
i love this video dont get me wrong and i understand that theyre are cgi and blanks probably being used throughout this video but cmon 90% of the firefight scenes the bolt on every gun or ak-47 isnt even moving they just edited in muzzle flash lmao
This is why Op Redwings should have been Green Berets, not SEALS.
The ads for " every person " qualifies for a government subsidy is a lie!!! I was just told I don't qualify!! 11 x's I've tried!!! Get a grip! I'm 82 years old!!!! :( :(
Stacey Nash isn't Stacey Keebler. 🎉
Hi baby 😚. Is viking and thor are same or difference ?..
(All of your videos are peach by the way 😚)
Jalal talabany 💚
Machine's
Greeb berets forces i have respect and similar special forces
At 8.33 you can see the American geography intel at work. 😂
Wondering how fluent the green berets are in the Russian language?
Just thinking.
you fluent in anythin' else?
Is any of the footage real
No it fake
If you make a documentary about it, Is it still a "Black Op"? 🧐
Common terminology. Nothing worth losing sleep over 😂
more like gray....or monochrome, if there were gays involved, definitely rainbow
It is, i mean look at others like it, Bay of Pigs, Iran Contra, we know about those now and they made documentaries about them.
Is this what 12 strong is based on?
I m 57 year old Kurd and remembered this, just noticed this documentary didn't say Iranian Kurdish fighters also PKK fighters from was in this fight , in total 800 AL Ansar fighters killed and all them was radical jihadist Kurd too that why this fight was very difficult AL ansar was supported by Islamic Republic of Iran to fight Kurdish nationalism and Kurdish right
Why is the journalist repeating what the male narrator says?
Lol, the Kurds are a 'warrior culture' and Talibani was pussing out without the six green berets reassurance lol. Pretty tough.
Haha yeah I love how they always talk up the Kurdish warriors. They haven’t done jack on their own
The islamist were kurds too that's why they were pussing out ansar al islam is a kurdish jihadist group with a fierce reputation everyone here knows about them they still operate in syria rn only locals knows how they are
Interesting, but the music....🙄
Oh wow. You a musician? Can you play anything at all?
Iraq zindabad
❤❤❤
Some real cultural experts -going to this region clean-shaven…
WONDER HAMETZ
I respect the comrodary between the two allies...one is an old school guerilla fighters & on the other side its the green berret.
Islam zindabad
Easter sunday a biblical day you mention a green beria thats great because the green beria Nicaragua is the soldier Hollywood Duncan was almost court Marshall over thanks brother it is a simple return not a hostel retrieve

I came here just to comment this because it was so shockingly bad. Looks a lot closer to Singapore. Was this a joke about how Americans can't find countries they're about to invade on a map? If not, this documentary loses all credibility.
It's such a stale mate they both hate each other with passion....thats the hurdle..unfortunately
You luv the entire world.

No disrespect to their fighting skills, but seriously, they couldn't grow some facial hair before arriving? Today, that is a no brainer. Also, pretty sure the Blue Angels were not part of the F18 strike package (26:28).
7:30 the Lt Col loks like a clown WTF is that beret all about??
Not about looks.
Re-enacted, clearly didn’t have military consultants that paid very much attention to those details unfortunately! Us military types know better, you’re right. A colonel would have a decently formed beret! 🤦🏼♂️
Take a look in the mirror. You measure up?
I can see why we didn’t help Syria there’s no oil or opium over there

How about Sahil he had duped 75 cr. what I heard but no reports as yet...he is a big time scammer beware
thank you . ( 2024 / Sept / 23 )
The fire coming out of the barrels looks sooooo bad. Like something from south park lol.
the terrorists were the foriegn invaders
100%
Superman didn't make it through the process.
This was hilarious A.F,the fact it was focused more on the humor amongst both the berets and warriors made this have a more WE ARE ONE tone or feeling to it.
There are evil americans and evil arabs, doesn't mean we cannot work together or totally be dismissive
Hilarious......you need boot camp, buddy
Look to Obama for the Alkida connection.
🙃
I dont believe the sl guida was bomb the destroyer in yemen.i believe the houti rebel was bomb that ship..
Write those done words right. Is more believable.
