You are looking for suggestions about the war in Ukraine from a "different" perspective? Perhaps with some "step back" from the front line? Well here's another trip to Eastern Europe for you which will be safe and will tell a lot: Come and talk to that very edge of NATO! There is a lot happening with the Boys and Girls at the border between Poland and Bielorusia / Ukraine. And Nope, they aren't always soldiers. 3 ways you could get a ton of content: 1) Talk to the Police Forces in Poland who have been required to do weekend patrols every few weeks at the borders since 2022. Any Police Dept in Poland will answer these questions because they ALL had to provide people.. You will hear horror stories I will not share here. 2) Go do an interview with a company like Helikon-Tex. They will provide you with stories. 3) And for fun, go sit at the Rzeszów pizzeria close to the airport for one day. And talk to the people. You'll hear about the daily NATO stuff even my friends in private transport cies aren't allowed to talk about...;-) Gloire et patrie!

You are an willfully ignorant a******: Get off your sorry ass and buy a Collegiate Webster's dictionary; then use it s*******!!! The dictionary will give you a phonetic rendering of every word you will use in your videos!! Example: the city in Uganda to which you referred is pronounced N-Tehb-E, NOT N-Tah-Bay. Please pull your head out of your ass, get with the freaking program, and stop acting like a complete willfully ignorant dumbass! I graduated high school with a Low C- GPA (2.23), so my condemnation of your willful ignorance does not arise from some President's list, A+ 4.0 GPA smug prick's point of view! All I'm asking for is basic frigging competence!! Every time you willfully mispronounced something that is easily understood by a simple reference in a dictionary makes you look like a dumbass, somebody who is not a professional, someone who is not serious about the work he is doing!! Step up and do the work, or find something else to make a living at doing: you're just simply an embarrassment at your current work ethic.

I was part of a detachment that directly responded to the incident you covered that happened in Kenya. 1: The air base you showed is not the one that was hit. The place that was attacked was much smaller and a couple km either north or south of the map you showed. 2: The Army SPC that died was killed when his unarmored SUV was directly hit by an RPG. He never fired a single shot and died in the vehicle. 3: The MARSOC dudes that responded didn’t get there for about an hour. The base they were located at was a couple miles away from the airfield. 4: The entire disaster is the sole fault of the Air Force and the incompetence of the Air Force Security Forces. The Air force people there literally abandoned their defensive positions, leaving crew served machine guns behind while they ran and hid behind a Kenyan checkpoint a mile away. Had they even tried to fight back the two pilots would still be alive.

Believe the firefight was going on for hours prior to that, they were almost all wounded, and they were quickly running out of time and options before their position was overrun.

@8ejJJJ8laf124f dont lose hope yet as Trump is back. Americans had enough with all this dei bullshit

[@Omer1996E.C]

[@SimonMuasa01]

Africa doesn't need US military presence as it seems very imperialistic, maybe free trade agreements, and Foregn direct investments will be a better strategy towards the continent.

[@logangiraffe]

Really cool video! Nice work

[@dezmondw7927]

Happy to hear you had a safe return from the Frontline Cappy!!

[@Dankdalorde]

Hey man - I really like these shows but especially the detail and humour. I’m not a vet, graduated basic but I was a quitter at OSUT (split ops with NG - basic one summer, job training the next - had the luckiest opportunity of changing my MOS from 91G to 11B) back in 2013 with a Chapter 5-17. 10 later, I’m still in regret on what could’ve been and have no self respect. These videos in a way help me use the very little training and jargon I knew to keep my mind engaged in something. Much love from a Tiny Heart Syndrome fan ❤

Hey. No need to drag yourself down like that. I was 'just' a radio repair guy (94E, Radio/ComSec repair and maintenance). You still swore the oath and tried to do your part; most can't even begin to do that. If nothing else, I thank you for trying. Benning (Fort Moore, now) was no joke when I went through in July-Oct 2007; at least one Drill became a heat casualty. To be honest, Baghdad was a joy in comparison, though southern Oregon is worse in the summer than Georgia.

[@Robert_H_Diver]

All good bro, you might not be here today. There’s a reason for everything. Keep your head up.

[@aj897]

Bum.

[@Insomniacsloth]

Chris Cappy is a great journalist.

[@morgansmit8564]

Thank you Cappy. Another super-informative episode. I have seen reports on most these incidents, but your objective analysis is most valuable. And entertaining. Thank you.

[@AudioElf]

Hey man, listen. Your channel has done some good work in makings obscure military overreach accessible to the masses. I think it's really important that you get sponsors that aren't in the business of furthering that overreach. The ethical issues of that are serious enough that you know what the endstate of that is.

[@Cognosapien]

This is so good. I love this format. These are some amazing stories.

[@l4c390]

Great that T&P finally has some coverage on this. What is appalling is that the US Army still refuses to credit soldiers who take part in these operations with combat tour credit, nor permit them to wear the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia - Former Wartime Service (aka combat patch).

[@rhughes3674]

I had no idea about these stories. Thanks for bringing them to light.

Great episode! Thank you!

[@DavidFiorillo-m3o]

I am a fan of your show.This one is particularly important.

[@timfitzgerald8283]

This is an awesome video. Love it, keep making content like this. It is very good.

[@christianguzman8228]

Thanks for making the video on the Somalia mission. It's a hell of a lot more palatable in your video than it is me speaking about it.

[@tonyduncan9852]

Thanks for the update. Cheers. 😎

[@BourneCreations]

Great work getting these missions out there, they needed to be told.

[@edl653]

Love the report. I didn't know much of this. - BTW, you mispronounced En-teb-bee. Entebbe airport is the same one where the Israelis rescued the hostages from an Air France highjacked flight in 1976. There are a couple of movies made about that rescue.

[@neonpurple3816]

There is a guy on this platform (I don't have his name) who was part of a mortar squad that put shells on the ditches. I may be wrong but I think he put a shell on the VBIED and thats why it blew up where it was, but the rest of the strikes were farther away due to command.

[@MichaelScheele]

Thank you for shedding light on an area of American military activity that goes under the radar in the press.

[@stevied4]

Awesome show Chris !!

[@OverpaidSlacker]

Chris - don't see a Pepperbox link in the comments, just so you're aware. Also - thank you yet again for a great video - found myself wondering this morning when your next would drop - and there it was!

[@MichaelMichaelides]

Thank you for noticing that! Fixed! 🙌

[@BearlyOutdoors]

ANOTHER incredible documentary style video. Have you or anyone on your staff thought about archiving your incredible work?

[@dfailsthemost]

Thanks, Mr. Cappy. I always appreciate your channel's POV.

[@JohnMoore-xf5wy]

This is an excellent report. I once spent a good bit of time in Africa involved in food and famine relief and I am delighted to see more good information appearing! Excellent work!

[@rodkennedy9800]

Chris, once again excellent informative reporting. Pity the mainstream media doesn’t seem to bother with this type of stuff.

[@ou4534]

Awesome video ✌️

What a great channel. I’m so glad I found it.

Very interesting ! As usual 👍 Thanks, appreciate it.

28 years... 28 years for killing an US ambo. 2 navy seals and a CIA IT contractor, but if im in the wrong state with some weed on me im facing the same time maybe more, nvm the amount of people that are actually in prison for something small like that... system is so cooked

Possession of Marijuana gets you up to 1 year. You've got to have a LOT of weed, like you'd have to be a dealer, in order to get that amount of time. These exaggerations don't even make sense half the time. He's older, that went into consideration. He's likely not getting out. He's likely going to be (if he wasn't already) tortured

[@Miscreant4]

Great vid, first time watcher. Got yourself a sub man!
