[@danechip.4]

How this is relevant till this day is mind blowing. Such a legend

[@TProfileG]

The SAS respect Charging Charlie immensely. A very brave guy that kept himself very fit for 30 years!

[@barryhamilton7845]

Another guy who served with the SAS in the 1980s ,was native American indian LARRY. K. ALLAN (aka) Larry two cans. He was 75th Ranger and also served for three years with "A" Squadron 22SAS. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇲🇬🇧

2022 and we still are fighting!

[@robertthomas9803]

This was before post modern miley and the clinton generals. But then again, he never made general. Was it already on the way down?

[@redskyatnight123]

Vietnam I would say or even Korea because people in leadership were not held to account for there poor choices and desicions in their service! Same thing happened when I was in Afghanistan, leaders knew the war was a shitshow but told back home everything was hunky dory , and what 3 trillion dollars later . Wheres the success or results?

[@redskyatnight123]

Poor leaders are held up with each other , these shit leaders look out for no1 and not the greater good !

[@prosperity4444]

Imagine standing next to this sweet old man in line having no idea who he is just thinking he's some old man

[@GunWebsites]

it is like that every day, for everyone

[@prosperity4444]

@@GunWebsites this is true but not everyone is the founder of the special forces.

[@GunWebsites]

@@prosperity4444 he founded Delta Force, many years after the Green Berets were established, but yes, I know what you mean

[@WinStoNs_Mith]

You have no idea who a lot of those old men next to you are

[@Slowsilv]

This guy was invited by the British to study and copy the special air service so he could form delta force for the u.s.

[@allanfuller8144]

AND WHAT A PLEASURE IT WAS TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD WITH US ! GOD BLESS DELTA & THE USA 🇺🇸 , FROM A OLD BRITISH VET 😊

[@gbody2617]

Buy his book people! It's great!

[@markceciljr1354]

I just finished it, great read and eye opening about Hal Moore

[@badlanz8642]

What one?

[@YdoIneedahandle869]

Spot on

[@badlanz8642]

One hard man

[@bodarville2510]

How long ago was this?

[@JohnSmith-hm7eh]

The margin to the left in the video says, "originally aired 199?" From the Web, = 'Charles Alvin "Charlie" Beckwith (January 22, 1929 - June 13, 1994) was a career U.S. Army Special Forces officer; created Delta Force, for the US Army.' ... In 1962, he had leptospirosis; the doctors said curtains. .... In 1966 he took a .50 caliber bullet through his abdomen and lived. ... Some people are tough.

[@JeffKnoxAZ]

Probably around '93 or '94, but possibly later.

[@anthonymusto3537]

He passed in 94

[@MCFCTheMadHatter]

@@JohnSmith-hm7eh Apparently he was shot by the VC who used a former Soviet heavy machine called the Copter killer which was a 12.7x108mm round or .51 cal. Slightly larger than your garden variety 50-cal. Colonel Beckwith had an uncanny ability to survive situations/afflictions most people could not…from near lethal infections in the jungles of Malaya in the early 60s training with the British 22SAS (gave him the inspiration behind founding and forming Delta) to taking enemy fire and a .51 cal machine gun round through his abdomen in 1966. He was one tough solder who harder than steel; a great man by any measurement…

[@markceciljr1354]

I don't know exact year but Col. Beckwith passed in '94

[@hendo337]

Here's what I want to know, how is it that he would pass of natural causes at only 65? Second it seems like he is highly supportive of resistance to the NWO yet, you would think none of this would be new to him being such a high level fella as it is implied here that prior to their conversations he was unaware of a few things. I have to wonder if he was getting political and possibly "retired" in order to not be a threat in that arena by the political establishment. Either way, that man was the Pat Tillman of his time (passed on pro football with Green Bay for the military) except he survived a full and distinguished career. I have infinite intrigue and respect for Col Beckwith.

[@sascha12-e3e]

well said sirs

[@dperignyjr]

What a Gent.

[@WinStoNs_Mith]

What was the name of the competitor for funding that Delta got? It was a color.

[@anonaki-mt6xb]

Blue Light

[@WinStoNs_Mith]

@@anonaki-mt6xb thank you

[@js5584]

From my understanding, it was not a competitor in the traditional sense, but was the "back stop" until "the unit" became functional. As soon as Delta became active then Blue Light was disbanded. This is just what I have read from Beckwith's autobiography and some videos from Rusty Firmin (22 SAS operator brought over to train the original Delta operators).

[@dailygiftsforever]

Beckwith put my cousin Joe on an air cooled machine gun, days later he landed in LZ Xray.

[@theswede5402]

Would have liked to have that feller show me a few things about warfare.
