[@tomshanley3942]

There’s not much left to do this but this guy makes me proud to be British….’who dares, wins’🇬🇧

[@BRITISHFURY_1664]

Same mate. When the SAS come knocking.....its already too late....

[@qball8437]

In no way ridiculous.....men like you guy's keep the world free......when the king orders consequences....you are the men sent

[@nomercyinc6783]

Like myself, he’s retired lol

[@Yelnats87]

This guy is living proof of "life imitating art". What a humble legend and hard ba***rd! So proud to be from up North (Yorkshire) man! Great vid mate!

[@jima1135]

I already watched this interview on Grande Thumb's channel, but I still was interested to hear a fellow UK soldier react to this. I hope there is a Part 2

[@johndillon5290]

Respect to all our UK forces. Simply the best .

[@Gerrygambone]

The respect and admiration Ryan has for this guy just shows through. Ryan I have a lot of respect and admiration for you.

[@randallpetroelje3913]

Loads of medals and a heart and spirit to back it up ❤. Nothing but love. Love your show man. Keep it up.

[@waltertx.6020]

I usually don't comment, but I do usually watch your videos. This was an especially good video. It's interesting how similar warriors lives are. Thanks brother 👍

[@michaelodonnell7822]

Thank u for your service Ryan you've got great content 👏 👍 real guy god bless 🙏

[@Junglistsareyouready]

Pure mental strength... Maybe the purest .theese guys are just different...

[@Starfield-Guy]

I’d love to meet some of these guys, they really are so down to earth. Utter legends

[@andrewmorehead8710]

I was the only one in my immediate family to go into the military. I was a medic in the Army during Desert Shield and had a cousin that was in the U.S. Navy and an Uncle that served in the Army during the Korean war. It was just a calling that I had to listen to. I have known a few Army SF personnel and you would never know by looking at them that they were Green Berets. They don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@famalam943]

Yeah these people are built like athletes in real life not bodybuilders. They need that athletic performance

[@batboy555]

Life isnt football

[@brianmurphy4702]

"raid on Entibee" was my favorite

[@scottbaron121]

For us Americans. This guy was a "Ranger", then "Force Recon", THEN a SEAL. This guy is a GENUINE bad-ass. The real deal, no bs, BAD MAN.

[@pjmoseley243]

To my generation he was a good guy. end off story.

[@Dr.IanPlect]

Scott; SEALs is not equivalent to 22 SAS, both in terms of what they are trained for and level. 22 SAS is tier 1, SEALs are tier 2. The equivalent to 22 SAS is Delta Force.

[@dee2251]

@@Dr.IanPlect let’s not forget that the SAS were the original special forces and have trained all the others from from other countries, including the USA.

[@Dr.IanPlect]

@@famalam943 Irrelevant, they aren't SEALs, they're DEVGRU.

[@Dr.IanPlect]

@@famalam943 No, Mr. Snark, I'll educate you further. - 'SEAL Team Six' is unofficial, they are officially a distinct organisation from SEALs. - Therefore, when you state "seal team 6 are tier 1" in response to me saying SEALs are tier 2 (clearly meant as a correction), it's an irrelevant comment.

[@fireheart6267]

Awesome, I'd definitely love to see you react to more of garand thumbs stuff as well as some more of iraqveteran8888.

[@SteveWalkey]

Thank God you weren't influenced by Steven Seagal! Go on, me old Geordie mucka! I'm sure those guys won't mind and I can't wait for part 2! 🇬🇧

[@PinkyPowers]

I watched the whole interview on Sunday when it dropped, and I'm still interested in watching your reaction. :)

[@timkeenan7419]

HALO jumping was fun but the 30/30 jump was a blast. 30 feet over the water at 30 knots and we jumped sans parachutes and swam to shore with our kit in floating boxes.

[@buildthemansion1]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jt.8144]

8:43 Loved the Wild Geese and Dogs Of War.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

I watched Mike's interview, good stuff!

[@larryolson397]

Flannel Daddy is a legend like yourself, as is Craighead. What a mashup treat for today!

[@jaycobellis5837]

Great video 👍

[@martinlye2748]

A true bad ass. I saw this and he was awesome.

[@jetdr]

Just watched a Pod Cast on Garand Thumb with this guy, absolute Legend. extremely humble and camera shy.

[@Daniel-qf6lc]

I really want to see the rest of it !!!!

[@munchiemac2895]

I'ma An American from Alabama. I enjoy your content Ryan. Specifically your take on things.

[@jenniferupton1879]

British ROYAL Marine.

[@Ash_Hudson]

"And then 22nd Special Air Service Regiment.... Which has no equivalent"

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

It does, you chose the wrong word to make your point.

[@arkangel7j]

guys a LEGIT hero

[@jeremys.950]

Marine Force Recon, born and raised in Oklahoma (we sit on top of Texas lol) for me it was something that the Marines was their Christmas toy drive for less fortunate kids called toy's for tots, it was the dress blues that sparked my interest at like 4 years old. I grew up wanting to be a Marine. Then I became an adrenaline junkie. I asked my recruiter what was the most adrenaline packed MOS in the Marines, he just happened to come from Force Recon and he explained that to me. Mind you I know now it's MARSOC, but I enlisted in 1999 so they didn't change that until after I was getting my medical discharge in 06.

[@ssechres]

When my nephew was a small child, I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said, “A Marine”. Today, he is a USMC SGT.

[@Richie8406]

I love when I hear these guys speak, they are so calm

[@Richie8406]

They know

[@-scrim]

we need more reactions to this guy!

[@playlikecrazy4993]

This the next captain price😮❤❤

[@lunkis3233]

I would love for you to do a video about SAS. Training and what kind of mission they do and have done ect. Or about that mission about this man in Nairobi.

[@danekelley9045]

Love this guy

[@scaler1179]

I was just curious if you ever worked with the 75th? Tab has been in a box since 05, but I have a distant memory of some Brits. Good guys. Shitty MRE's. BTW, the movie "To Hell, and Back" with Audie Murphy, inspired me. There's never been anyone more underrated than that guy.

[@ssechres]

Im a yank and I love the Wild Geese. Im from Indiana and we have lots of veterans..

[@ishyx0wensome2]

Respect to all our soldiers all across the world we might not all have the same mindset but I respect anyone risking their lives for others and a greater good

[@beesnestna9544]

I remember this when it happened, and I also saw this video already. But just to comment, pretty impressive stuff from this individual.👍

[@vincentdecicco7102]

I didn't know your father was in the service. The video setup looks cool to me.

[@pandanemi-0239]

Another great video, I was wondering if you ever made a comment about that US General that said the British Military is no longer regarded as a top level fighting force. Anyway keep up the good work.

[@gazzap6664]

Compared to who and what? It is true that we do not have the strength in the navy that we had back in history but I think it would be a very serious mistake for somebody to think that the UK is an easy target.

[@Gregster1234]

On your recommendation watching “Wild Geese” as I type this, love it!

[@dannyblackwell2426]

hi Ryan I've seen another podcast of Christian which was amazing. rifle coffee company i think it was called, and christian even has a badge of the channel on his kit that day. and he even meet a American woman who he helped saved that day in Nairobi and she wrote a book about her ordeal. the real craziness for me is, I walked past that hotel complex nearly 1 year to the day before the terror attack. happen.

[@timkeenan7419]

I lived my movies too. Riding a horse into contact in Afghanistan was different, especially considering we had a couple of humvees from the yanks.

[@bugvswindshield]

for me it was both grandpa's in WW2 and just learning about it. My dad was in vietnam , navy. I duno. Just grew up around military. Not a wealthy family so that has something to do wit it too. Both grandpa's ww2, dad , uncle, vietnam. Brother, navy, myself USMC and now my nephew in the navy right now! Kudos to all our military members and families !!!!

[@markbeetham5118]

Thanks mate for your service. Even though I haven't served I do come from a military background. And I am very proud that my daughter is in the Royal Marine Cadets and has been promoted to Lance Corporal. I know she'll never serve in the front line but she is so enthusiastic and wants to join when she matures

[@asaiya705]

This is true First Blood and rambo got me instantly hooked on combat. Commando as well

[@HowDawgg]

hey id love to see part 2 of this also after that next up you should do marcus lutrell joe rogan and the movie lone survivor

[@rob8379]

Bravo Two Zero is a great book. All US military members that go to SERE school should read it first.

[@DrRonThomasJr]

In addition to The Wild Geese and Who Dares Wins with Lewis Collins and ffolkes with Roger Moore in that same class. Who Dares Wins being almost a recreation of the 1980 Princes Gate takedown makes the last 15 minutes rewatchable forever

[@TheBongReyes]

Wild Geese movie is a classic. Watched it with my dad. He had to explain to me what mercenaries were. I mean, it had James Bond & Professor Dumbledore.

[@scottbaron121]

It is funny how movies influence our life choices. It wasn't Rambo for me...but in high school, I watched the Tom Cruise movie, "Cocktail". I told my brother that "I'm gonna do that one day". Fast forward 20 years and I quit my career, moved to the Caribbean and became a bartender. Life indeed, imitates art.

[@TrunksBreif]

One of my favorite war movies is we were soldiers

[@dsumner1234]

You need to do a Wild Geese reaction video, along with the Final Option/Who Dares Wins.

[@johnnycartagena3605]

when i was 17 i try to joint the army but because of my english was bad. i did no past the test i did qualify for the coast guard .i told my recruiter that i wanted to be a green beret . after watching rambo and before rambo i love that comando series from the 70 on the african savanna but in 2004 i when to work for DOD in iraq for 4 years in ramadi and fallujah it was hell . that's when i learn it takes special human to be soldier and imagine and alite soldier

[@xxx3nd3rxxx]

Can you do more British stuff. I'm American and would love to hear more about it we don't get much.

[@1t3j8]

Texans are hardened by the extreme heat almost all year round 😂

[@shawnromans5103]

Florida here

[@northwestgaming4049]

Look into Harrison ford's comment about montana winters. That is where I call home.

[@kenardmartin2128]

The wild geese Richard Burton all star cast

[@legion162]

If it's the same soldier, I'm almost certain that he had a hand in the development of a handgun and had it named after him, but I could be thinking of someone else

[@dennistabor8934]

lol i remember watching first blood at my cousins house in 1984 when i was 12 and from that point on i knew what i wanted to do and 6 years later i went to basic training octobor 31 1990. people laugh when i say rambo was my gateway to the military but ill never apologize for that

[@maxmoore9955]

You have to think of the industrial industry in Northern England. From Coal mining, to Steel Mills and a Myriad of Dangerous jobs .Which you need training to not get dead .So I'm not surprised it crosses over to Millary. Obviously it's not exactly or no way near as Dangerous as the military.

[@Jrichards30]

Remember the marines are a jack of all trades the infantry are specialists in war fighting

[@Woaddy..432Hz]

He’s with us now bro. That’s right my UK invaders from a different time. “The chair is against the wall” “The chair is against the wall” “John has a long mustache” “John has a long mustache” and does he cross from Mexico and get some of that instant grits? Nope, again he does the right thing. Let us know how it works out for yall over there. We’re speaking Spanish here bro.

[@NottiOne]

A large portion of troops come from the south and midwest

[@step1drag1dwnunda]

What about that old british TV series, The Professionals?

[@itz_tyler2494]

I recently saw a movie called killer elite it involved the SAS and I guess it was a true story

[@everypitchcounts4875]

Can you do a video on the US Navy SWCC

[@timkeenan7419]

Movies definitely also The Art of War by Sung Tsu

[@adamlichman1181]

At least three of us joined because of the Rambo movies hahahha

[@ThatbeardedMarine]

I think flannel daddy is cool with it.

[@wealthdonebetter-US]

Believe it or not in the US California and NY are in the top ten for all time military enlistment by personnel

[@asaiya705]

dammit, now i'm going to watch First Blood again and Wild geese lol

[@TrineDaely]

You should check out Popo Medic's videos, too.

[@JohnnyD-u7]

🇺🇸✌🏻🇬🇧

[@thelikebutton2464]

I fucking love Garand thumb man. Bro you should come to America and do some videos of so many boys back here bro. Americans love the blow shit up dude you'd fucking love it here.

[@BadBoyBeaman]

first😅

[@RyanForrest1664]

Heyyy, Good to see you here bro

[@RDiego44]

Can you do a reaction to Zelenski’s speech at parliament. Thanks

[@KyleInOklahoma]

Hi Ryan, I'm a U.S. Veteran who was present when two SAS GUYS were snatched by the IRA beside our home when I was a kid. As a Catholic in Northern Ireland, especially as a kid, we cheered on this IRA operation. I've since served alongside some of the best human beings I've ever met & they were young Brits. And most agreed with the fight that was fought by our dads & uncles, even some mothers, in order to push out the occupier. The SAS are amazing warriors but they were modern-day black & tans who had no prob kicking moms teeth in for not “giving up” our uncle. But 99.99% of the Brits I served with we're staunch, good & decent ppl & as a US/ Irish dual citizen I have no probe with today's Brits. God Bless Ryan 🇺🇸🇮🇪🇺🇦

[@Mk1Male]

Your comments make very little sense other than to say you were an IRA supporter that fled to the USA. Other than that it's propaganda bollocks. Crawl back under your rock in the USA.

[@martinlye2748]

Popo medic used real footage but a real interview is great.

[@qball8437]

Auddie Murphy.....if ya dont know check em out......

[@lewisb85]

Nowt wrong with rambo as an influence, tim kennedy was influenced by rambo and look where he ended up.

[@jonessmith3997]

Wild geese awesome! Lefties and the woke brigade would die if they watched this movie. It would remind them how men used to be.

[@gazzap6664]

Don't appreciate your stereotype of assuming Northerners are tougher then Southerners in the UK,, It's an old hat theory that does not bear scrutiny. Fact is we are all the same, in some instances Northers have it easier then Southerners, for example it is cheaper to live in the north, property is cheaper and prices for commodities are cheaper, therefore the standard of living for a price is better in the North of England. That gap is narrowing, it can hardly be said its cheap to live in some Northern cities nowadays. Also commuting and lifestyle could be consdiered harder in the South, commuting in central London is expensive and stressful, commuting in Newcastle much less so Your comment that is harde to live in the North compared to the South is nonsense. There is a lot of research you can see to support these points. Summary is there are some cultural differences but we are basically all the same, the SAS recruit from all over the UK and beyond although there is demographically a larger proportion of Scottish soldiers in the SAS which I believe is about 12 ro 13% when the %gage of UK being Scottish is 8%. In short, assuming that people are hardier in the North assuming Southerners are soft is nonsense.

[@overthewebb]

It does bear scrutiny though, the majority of SAS in history per percentage were Scots first and foremost, Scots created it, then Northern English and Southerners last. THere are tough Southerners, but a lesser percentage as life traditionally has been easier down South

[@gazzap6664]

@@overthewebb do some research and ask working people how hard it is to survive in London. Plenty for you to research, the point that Northerners are "tougher" is complete rubbish. There is a strong Scottish representation in the SAS i believe has more to do with Scot (major Stirling) as the founder of the SAS,, Scotland has a proud military history with the SAS. I am simply challenging the ridicilous, old fashioned sterotype that Northerners are hatd and Southerners are not,, its complete nonsense and no thinking person woukd draw such a silly comclusion.
