Best of Paddy Mayne🔥| SAS Rogue Heroes

I am making a video about Paddy Mayne and doing my research found this, what a great Irish warrior he was and after watching SAS rouge warriors I am somewhat fascinated about him. His story is unreal and definitely the most bravest man never to be awarded the Victoria Cross. Not only was he a excellent Rugby player and played for Ireland in the 1938 tour but he more or less made the SAS more famous, even Montgomery recommended him for the award and said as the maddest solider he's ever met.

[@Paddymayne4738]

A few notes for the uneducated. Firstly, The Officer who rudely addressed Mayne in the Officers Mess was in wrong as he disparagingly called him a “Paddy” most insulting indeed and also went to grab him by the shirt. Mayne being himself acted in a defensive manner. The MPs made the same mistake by calling him an Irish F-k, not nice at all. Now, although he was in fact called Paddy by his colleagues, which is not uncommon for we Irish to be identified as Paddy regardless of our correct given name. His real name was Robert Blair Mayne. He was never called and would never be called Paddy in County Down or anywhere else in His home town, Ulster or Northern Ireland. Robert was Protestant and no Protestant would ever have the given name of Patrick, anymore than a Catholic would be given the name William or Billy, in Northern Ireland. To reiterate, he wore the tag Paddy proudly in the SAS, However, as a Solicitor he would be known as Robert, Bob or Bobby. Yes, his Museum in Ballyclare identifies him as Paddy Mayne. Interestingly not in his home town or even Ballymena home base of the Royal Ulster Rifles in which he served (my home town) prior to the Paras and the SAS. A very brave and courageous Soldier and proud Ulster man. Another little tidbit for you. The VC was Awarded to more Irish Servicemen (North and Republic) than any other Personnel serving in the British Army. Considering, they are all volunteers. Trust you appreciate the info. God bless all; British, American, Canadian, Israeli and NZ, Personnel and a special thank to the past and present Australian Military Personnel, who have been part of my life for the past 60 Years.

At the 9 min mark of this was the scene where Stirling and Randolph Churchill (son of the Prime Minister) who talked his way to a spot on the mission with the SAS. Were discussing their plan to infiltrate Benghazi to blow up some ships. The scene shows them dressing up in captured German uniforms but the memoirs of one of the SAS members who spoke italian said they painted their Jeeps to look like German staff cars but still wore British uniforms going into the city. Because in theory they thought if captured they couldn't then be hanged as suspected spies. They did so at night so it wouldn't be to obvious when they had to be stopped by a checkpoint.

My grandmother knew him when she was a kid. He was very good friends with her father. She said he was lovely and reasonably unassuming when sober and awful when drunk. She described him as "absolutely charming but when he was drunk my god he was awful!" She once saw him in a pub destroying the fireplace with half a dozen policemen trying to hold him down 😂. But he didn’t have that typical Northern Irish accent. He spoke more grand like allot of upper middle class protestants did at the time. His accent sounded more like the queens English with a slight Irish twang. She also told me that he was almost certainly a homosexual which was illegal back then. So no one ever brought it up with him but they all knew. She's 90 years old as still talks about him regularly.

Amazing is an understatement. We need more like him right now in this world. The only problem is the woke big brass. As you can see by example how Paddy himself was treated by the big brass Should have received a 2nd VC for his outstanding bravery and courage in battle. We know why of course. What give this disobedient upstart Ulster Paddy another VC, No way he doesn’t set an example befitting such recognition. The big man didn’t do it for the Medals and certainly couldn’t have cared less about what the Elite big brass thought of him. He cared only of his fellow SAS Soldiers. Service personnel in the Australian SAS and Commando having served in the Middle East only to be treated in a disgraceful manner by print TV Media such as the ABC doctoring evidence used in a court of law. Hopefully, we haven’t heard this last of this nonsense and allow it to be swept under the carpet. These Soldiers deserve nothing less than a Royal Commission into such wrong doings and the persons responsible charged and jailed accordingly. Financial compensation is befitting to these Soldiers and their Families. Proud to call every single one of them a mate.

[@perolavhavik2585]

He had plenty of problems with the brass back in his time. So do you really think 1940's army officers were 'woke'? Or is it more likely Mayne was a very unconventional person who probably wouldn’t fit easily into any line unit, regardless of time, place and ideology?

[@QueerChica]

You know he fought against fascism, right? Bearing that in mind, "woke" is another buzzword because you don't want to accept that freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequence. Sounds like you're another cis het, white man blaming others for your shortcomings and intolerance.

[@fuzzyhair321]

Paddy was lucky he wasn't arrested for being a gay man during that time too and Irish to boot. That's probably why he never received the VC. Being woke is yes he can be accepted as a gay man and a soldier while being Irish in the British army

[@Paddymayne4738]

@@perolavhavik2585 The big brass appear to be jealous, envious of Paddy in many respects. While Montgomery who was Anglo Irish, had no issues and. Was the one who sent the situation recommending the VC . It’s clear that they didn’t want Paddy to be held as a good example of how one should behave as a British Officer. Fine for his men and other Officers to respect him, as they shall follow him to the end and get the job done. While Paddy was highly educated, they would likely refer to him disparagingly as that mad bog Irish lout always drunk and fighting. the language used by the MPs and the Captain in the Mess Hall is close to the bone. Hence, when the big brass at the War Office received the Citation, they all went into horror and shock. They couldn’t ignore it, but they could reduce it to another Bar. I doubt that Paddy actually gave a damn. He didn’t do it for the medals. He did it as a leader of his men, to try and get as many through alive as possible, in clouding himself.

It would drastically reduce the pool of actors they could choose from if they had to find people of similar heights & builds to real life counterparts, most actors (& people) aren't of the tall variety as the majority skew towards the shorter end of the spectrum (only 1% of the worlds pop is 6'6"+ for example) Imo height shouldn't be too big of a deal, as it's better to find a fantastic actor such as Mr. O'Connell is imo, who can portray & embody the person in a broad sense, rather than get lost in the little specific details. And hope the audience can allow the sacrifice of certain details for the sake of overall enjoyment & portrayal.
