The UN is still worthless. Executive Outcomes forced the rebels to the negotiating table decades ago with a little over 100 operators and had an exponentially more significant impact on the strategic environment than a 20,000 strong UN force. Worthless. Of course this was Sierra Leone and South Africa, however their combat effectiveness hasn’t ever improved.

dont hurt your thumb, to reload your lever action insert your ammunition halfway and push it with the next one until the last one or your thumb will go to the bottom. faster reload and thumb safety :)

He’s a total psychopath, but im so glad he’s OUR psychopath

Why file at this point.. metal flakes contaminated everything around

1:46:32 CPL Jamie Smith B 3-75.

I get the feeling she's done a few. Could likely assemble one in her sleep.

Good stuff Keith. Ditto to everything you said and did. Be safe out there Brother. 👮🏼‍♂️

You really see the mindset that sets Delta apart from everyone else. Just absolute humble studs.

"State has gone communist", so true

It is crazy to me that people think you have to be SF or a ranger to actually be selected for the unit. Paul was a reg grunt and made it so that should tell you that it is mindset and preparedness.

Wow! This is a perfect example of someone who "knows" what he's talking about. Brief. To the point. No fluff. Not enamored with hearing himself speak. Why doesn't Pat have four times the subscribers?

Best interview ever

Ol Gun Control Pat. Old turd. 😂

Thank you for your service

Spot on

I'd love to hear a interview with Paul Howe and Tom Satterly together. Getting boths perspective on the events from two people who fought so closely together would be fascinating.

This is probably the best interview I’ve seen on this incident. Which actor played MSG Howe in the movie?

It’s really sad that the administration at that time didn’t think it was necessary to provide armor and air support for these missions in Somalia. Lessons learned with the cost of precious lives. I do think Aspin should’ve been held accountable for such a disastrous decision.

This interview is 12 years old already.

Respect all these guys immensely, however, Dave's comments in the previous video of 147 gr 9mm failure from the 90's? Come on. Those were first gen (or maybe 2nd, after Miami) loads. The current HST 9mm 147 gr runs about 1,000 fps out the muzzle (not the six-hundred something fps in the incident Dave cited).

Great video

Regarding ammo testing, I'd like to see a lot more gel testing with REAL, calibrated ballistic gel, NOT "Clear Ballistics" brand ballistic goo. Clear Ballistics has made it easy for KZbinrs, etc. to go out and shoot things into their blocks, but it doesn't tell us much of anything that's useful. If the "testing" isn't with a standardized, calibrated, repeatable medium (what we call actually ballistic gelatin), it's not real testing.

Can’t spell unnecessary without UN.

Thank you

I remember 160th pilot Mike Durant talking about how stupid it was that the Task Force had to set up shop in land of the country. The JSOC leadership originally requested to launch operations into Somalia from an aircraft carrier off the coast just out of eye sight. This way the Somali spotters couldn’t predict when forces would take off and pre warn HVTs that US Commandoes. The requests was denied for for reasons never explained to the Task Force. Just one of many bad limitations that was imposed on them.

Are you not interfering with the slide release?

Holy. Thanks for this

something tells me she's not a woke liberal

I was hoping for something recent, but it's still worth a listen.

Have used 3 inch dots for the past 18 years. Works!

Paul nails it. Funny - my Dad used to always say, "If you have to tell people how good you are, you aren't that good."

A great American.

The real deal..

This was great

Thank you Paul...! 91B

True warrior!! Thankyou for sharing. SGT. Howe much respect sir!!

The media is shit. It aint changed.

Love his no BS, realistic attitude. We need more of these men teaching the young. Not some rainbow flag waiving, child mutilating commie.

be careful how u play this card....

Paul's encyclopedic recollection is extraordinary. This documentary has so much historical value. Thank you to Paul and all involved. Thank you to all KIA and WIA on 3,4&6 October 1993

1:47:00 over the last 22 years, this is the biggest argument I've made that needs to change at the infantry level. Officers should not be anywhere near the battlefield in a leadership position. Never met a PL more knowledgeable than a PSGT, a Company CO more knowledgeable than a 1SGT or a BC more knowledgeable than CSM.

Much respect Jamey, the only negative thing I see is that black rifle t-shirt, I wouldn’t spend a dime for anything linked to that commie company.

Hooah! Sergeant Major Caldwell is a Badass! Hooah!

At 2:59, the man in the middle of the three is actually Randy Shughart MOH

Amazing history.

Thanks!

Holy cow, this is amazing. I've been wondering about his full perspective on this event. It'd be great to meet Mr. Howe someday and shake his hand. I've really enjoyed reading his blog posts throughout the years, and I've almost pulled the trigger on taking some CSAT classes before. My availability is almost nil though, due to my current job. :/ Edit: my original comment sounded a bit too insensitive and fanboyish in the context of the event. I do take this seriously.

I was just looking for this DVD on the Pantaeo website!
