  1. I would always respect those kind of service man/woman, that give so much to defend people in our different countrys. It dosn' matter if you are from the middle east or westen europa, africa or america or what ever. These people protect us in one way or the other. I recognize the need for forces, like i recognize the police and there bye law and order.
    To offer your life to protect others, must be the ultimate act of courageous behavior.
    A stupid drunk driver is a killer on wheels. We should all hate them if any?

  2. With all due respect, how many civvies watching SAS Survival secrets anticipate being tortured or interrogated? Good info, but I think going to Mr. Stones team building survival school in Scotland would be a better investment of time and money..

  4. As a young marine in VietNam I volunteered for Combine Action Program basically this was a unit of about 10 marines who trained peasant villagers in weapons and tactics to defend themselves from the VC. We lived in the villages with them and were responsible for a designated area to patrol. We ran 3 man patrols one marine with an M60 machine gun, radio operator and an automatic rifleman. 111MAF sent some of us to be trained by the Australian SAS in jungle survival and tactics. These 2 SAS NCO's stayed out in the bush for weeks at a time taking with them more ammo that food because they lived off the jungle. These were the toughest MF's I'd ever seen in my life dedicated to the profession of soldiering hard and in 2 weeks we learned a lot. It is indeed an honor to be accepted into such an exclusive band of brothers and these men are as close to being called supermen as any other. They have a code of honor that proves that they are men of integrity for professional soldiers never rape or kill someone who is not trying to kill them. These guys were not only formidable jungle fighters but can put down anyone in a beer drinking contest. That training they gave us paid off because the top brass not believing that the NVA were on their way in force got the message when one of our patrols counted thousands, they were so close that our guys said sweat was popping off their foreheads like new made money. They gave us orders to go roving patrols with no fortified compound like we had before we would be quickly over ran. They tracked us on the move but with what the SAS taught us we'd circumvent their moves and come up from behind them with a surprise, we'd caught a whole company in a rest area and ended their rest by calling in an air strike on them. It was these SAS that taught us how to use the jungle to our advantage in tactics. I'm glad they are on our side.

  6. Just finished part 1 the doc isnt what I thought it would be like ( not truly sure what I was expecting to see lol) and while it is a bit slow it is informative and I will watch the rest later because while I personally dont think I posses the balls to be a soldier and go to war (and luckily I am too old to ever find out for sure) I have huge respect and am in awe of those that do. Especially at the level of special forces like the SAS, what these guys are capable of is amazing

  7. Too bad the uploader bailed out before I could watch the last segment. This is an excellent doc. It might seem 'shallow' to those who have no experience in combat arms. But the rest of us think it's very deep. Try going through battle school before you criticize.

  8. hmmm .. a bit shallow etcetera but I guess you can understand it considering the name of the game and the audience.

    Anyhow, RIP to all victims of wars, including Paul McAleese, the son of John "the first man on the balcony" McAleese.

    Brilliant website btw.

  9. Justin_n_IL <--- self righteous narrow minded people like this guy are just internet heroes. When thing goes bad he'll be one begging for mercy from the enemy, me i rather die fighting. O and all those people complaining soldiers are puppets of corporation and governments, then do something about it, you are the one buying products from these corporations, you voted for the people in governments.Don't like it? get on the street and do something then. Soldiers follow orders some good some bad, but pretty sure this is why drop out rates are high because they still human. So all you self righteous people stop the whinge binge and do something if don't like what's around you, oh wait let see you're too busy with your facebook and social issues yea?, life is too busy you cant miss your morning coffee o and cant be late for work right because you afraid you'll get fired and won't have money to get the next iphone.

  10. Wars are started and fought over a lot of different reasons, some good but mostly bad. I have nothing but respect for the people in any military as long as their heart is in the right place. Where I run into problems is when politician use patriotism and human ignorance as a weapon for greed. These examples are far too easy to find and it's not just people like the Nazi's or the North Koreans. I believe we are all too blame for this greed and need to make some fundamental changes to the way we govern ourselves. I just want to end with, as long as your rights don't infringe on other's then you should have every right to continue with that life style. In today's society war is necessary but I don't understand why we shouldn't try and change this for the better.

  14. Christpuncher,

    I am surprised you keep trying to debate. It's like you are "trolling". These are men who believe without any doubt they are doing good, and by that, they are good men. They have trained hard, and should be respected as a human being for much more than that; but there is mischief at work around the world today.

    Anyways,

    My opinion:
    These videos are how to survive in a combat situation, but they acted out attacks over and over; that's really not how I plan to survive a military takeover, though basic survival was still portrayed. Cheap videos, good to fall asleep to, and a lot of propaganda behind heroism.

    I watched these videos in order to gain knowledge for upcoming events. Some of you probably know what I'm talking about, then there are those who still firmly believe wars are somehow fought for peace and not control. The world will one day see the obviousness of the truth, that you are all just images of that truth. There is a great deception to the overall awareness to this truth that cannot sustain itself for much longer. Through a series of events your mind will either wake or sleep forever. This is not religious, this is spiritual; you do not even have to believe, just be.

    If you want to learn, quit the denial stage and research the real truth behind 9/11. Don't be afraid of what you might stumble upon, it's just a white rabbit's hole.

    I agree with you in general, these guys are invaluable in many ways. And just like samurais or viking warriors did, they too should get some respect for their devotion to their skills because even if they are ruthless or not, they aren´t doing any of these things for their own selfish purpose. However I must say that according to their own operational standards they are obliged to prevent civilians from exposing them if that would mean their mission would be jeopardized. Even if that meant killing them, which is clearly stated in the book "Bravo 2-0" written by Andy McNab who you referred to earlier.

  16. I can't believe they bag their own sh**. That's dedication to the cause.

  17. @ChristPuncher - The majority of what your saying is right and epic however your making one crutial mistake, Caring. Why do you give a shit or waste your seemingly valuable time addressing numb nuts on the internet box.

    Relax, if you really feel the need to get up and let people know they are wrong i would suggest writing a book or blogging becuase this medium is not going to work. People will argue with you even if they agree, its the american way.

    The scariest part of this doc is thinking that in "2012" or whenever shit starts hitting the fan, these highly trained gentlemen may just be coming after you and me. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, GET YOUR GUNS AND START DOING PUSHUPS!

  18. And in my view it doesn't really have that rah-rah meathead mentality to it at all. Maybe from the narrator but not the SAS guys. Just seems honest to me.

  20. All of you dumbies are so quick to criticize that you all don t even think about the honor there is in being part of the SAS and serving your country as an SAS soldier .My life's dream is to join the SAS and train with the world's greatest soldiers and don't even talk about bear grills because if you watch his show as much as i do you'll see the amount of skills that he has attained from the SAS

  22. Later on when talking about land mines, you can hear the disgust they have for these indiscriminant weapons. One SAS soldier was put on a gagging order after a v. convincing anti- war speach he gave a couple of years ago. Many ex- SAS either drink themselves to death or commit suicicde. Dont sound like the NWO robots some would suggest. I bet the SAS cause far less collateral damage than your avereage infantry.

  23. When the sh1t hits the fan Kitt I hope someone comes to kill me quick.
    I used to think it was all about survival but if the world's going to be full of redneck morons roaming around with guns I think I prefer to be dead.
