GREEN BERETS React to Terminal List: Ep. 03 Consolidation | Beers and Breakdowns

[@FNGACADEMY]

What movie do you guys want to see next?!

[@FNGACADEMY]

p.s. we do have a list and your recommendations go on it

[@just_another_gearhead]

How about reviewing a documentary?? Restrepo or The Hornets Nest. P.S. at the end of Restrepo, you see 1st I.D. guys struggling to get up the mountain. That was my sister battalion 1/26IN, I was a medic and had actually just been transfered to 2-2IN battalion from 1/26. I may have dodged a bullet..on the flip side I did get blown up twice down in the Arghandab RV in Kandahar province so who knows 🤷

[@GamesbyMarcWolff]

The TV show, The Unit So much more action than Terminal List

[@marcusdelk7708]

How about Platoon? In my opinion, it’s one of the best Vietnam films, and I feel that you all could give great feedback on their experiences in that film to contrast your more modern ones.

[@sammiller8523]

Ronin with Robert Deniro

[@nicolasarnold7426]

I’ve watched the show 3 times now and want more, can’t wait for season two

[@dripy_fps9622]

Mozambique 🇲🇿 season 2 here we come ❤️‍🔥

[@SemperFi_EDC_Guy]

SAME! The book is freaking insane btw. Love the book series!

[@nicolasarnold7426]

@SemperFi EDC Guy I’ve been thinking about reading the books

[@SemperFi_EDC_Guy]

@Nicolas Arnold can't recommend them enough. They are 100x better than the show (obviously) but Carr is an EXCELLENT writer. I sped through them on audiobook.

[@Jeffro5564]

I only watch it once cos showrunner did a bad service to this wonderful series. Should of done what reacher tv show did and follow book through pages and not change everything

[@GamesbyMarcWolff]

Kurt simping for the Fast & Furious franchise is the funniest damn thing I've seen all year. My face hurts from laughing

[@griz312]

As much I dislike F&F after the first one it is indeed funny as hell LmAo.

[@csmlouis]

Kurt: This is the story of the American Dream. Through hardwork and determination...Fast n Furious had been to space. That brought tears to my eyes.

[@erictungoe7834]

I love Kurt, he's so chill.

[@marcusdelk7708]

Welcome back Kurt, it’s great to see Buck and yourself with the B.A.B series again.

[@SemperFi_EDC_Guy]

Can't say how great it is to have Kurt back! Lol...he's the greatest part of this channel!

[@snowbear163]

​@@SemperFi_EDC_Guy for me he's the only part of the channel. Sean and Abel are there to make sure Kurt gets air time.

[@corybaum214]

Talking about the "operator look" and Cassing the joint, in the 3rd book that's all the stuff that gets him noticed for the bad guys

[@FrOGer-p6q]

Which part in the 3rd book? I haven't read that one in a whileb

[@gamingnostalgia3716]

Screenwriting advice often says: begin a scene late, end the scene early. In other words, less is more. So Buck isn't wrong. The audience is never wrong.

[@eclipsewrecker]

“The audience is never wrong,” in the moment.

[@erivera700]

Buck face-palming as Kurt justifies Fast & Furious space travel was everything. I hope in the next F&F they time travel.

[@eldritchmorgasm4018]

They'll probably have to go to the center of the earth, the earth's core stopped, so they have to restart it, with the power of driving as FAST & FURIOUS as humanly (im)possible, to get that core moving again,, while submerged in lava, and family, of course

[@Charlie_Rowe]

The books and their character representations are WAY more accurate. Definitely worth a read. By the time you get to the 3rd book, Savage Son, you will be hooked.

[@nonenone2173]

True, even gave the first to a friend of mine cuz I knew it be up his alley. Now he's on book 4 and I'm finished with the series lending him the books.

[@JensaRahm]

Finally. I know you diss on this, but there is def alot of action for you to break down. I am excited to hear it :) it def gets alot better efter a few episodes when the action picks up.

[@vanlouieb]

Love your content fellas. Makes me feel like I’m inserting myself in the convo too 😂

[@FNGACADEMY]

Glad to hear it!

[@celticsF4N]

this is one of my favorite series in the last few years and im glad Buck is starting to enjoy it, its a rollercoaster ride from here on out so strap in Buck

[@UpTheDown7]

That cuffing struggle is the greatest thing you guys have ever done. Also, Buck knows the difference between good storytelling and bad storytelling. Don't give in, Buck. You're right.

[@dmichael7144]

I respect Buck’s opinion, but I still love this show. And I can’t wait for season two.

[@1blueeye]

I'm so happy to see Kurt again. He represents everything good about Tallahassee, FL. Welcome back brother! Thank you Abel and Buck, as well. Have a great evening!

[@justinc3120]

The turtling exercise was the best laugh I've had in a while 😂

[@williamflowers9435]

Definitely continue the series!!

[@Craigsplaysgames4u]

Able laughing in the background always makes me smile

[@RobertMorgan]

What's funny is, the 'operator look' is now the semi-uniform of dudes here in the Midwest. Nice hiking boots, stretch jeans, an Ariat hoodie, vest, a Columbia or Patagonia hat, and wraparounds or aviators.

[@richievalenz1]

How many have bellies? 😂

[@greganderson1989]

As a retired soldier I appreciate you guy’s opinion.

[@Nico-hq6db]

in the cqb scene, the operator who throws the grenade is a former seal

[@jimholmes4729]

"Fast and Furious is the American Dream" and I just peed myself I'm laughing so hard.

[@RobertMorgan]

My father was 101st in 1959, and their version of the 'Team Hat' is Black Corcoran Jump Boots, laced the 'right' way and daily polished to a literal mirror shine you CAN clean shave in. My father will be 83 years old this year and he still misses it. Unfortunately losing both legs in a training jump can have negative effects on your paratrooper career.

[@AGameofPwns]

Katie Buranek's character in the book has an emotional connection to James Reece because his dad extracted her family from Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War. The character was changed to accommodate Hollywood's diversity quota.

[@Gearparadummies]

A Japanese chick with a Polish surname. I should have known.

[@andrabook8758]

riiighhhhtt.... and in the process managed to completely ruin the story. They could have easily just changed the nationality but kept the rest of the character arc...but no! that would have made sense and we cannot have logic anywhere in these series. So, instead, she's literally just a random reporter lady who for some unexplained reason decides to totally help the maniac killing people. She just goes from ''omg, he's a maniac!" to ''yay, I', gonna help the maniac explain and cover up his crimes!" within like 5 minutes for literally zero reason. I trully believe that the people who wrote this show were brain damaged. That is literally the only explanation I can think of for such ''creative licence".

[@snowbear163]

​@@Gearparadummies I believe she's Chinese. The actress in real life claims China but she actually can't speak Chinese very well at all.

[@bknwuzheer1]

​ @snowbear163 It's called being Chinese-American because we can't call ourselves Americans otherwise white people say "No, you're Asian"

[@damianmartorana2282]

It's educational and entertaining. Perfect combination. Thank you for the content and your service.

[@dakotathehunter5487]

Please continue this series and thank you guys for all that you've done and all that you continue to do, you've given insights into your world and I can't praise that enough, once again thank you

[@jeffreyrose4240]

please continue the series.. i think it'll make you at least half change your mind Buck!.. not gunna say this is the greatest thing ever, I'm still more a Band of Brothers guy.. but I think you'll like how it finishes

[@FNGACADEMY]

oh im on it! till the end lol hoping for a mind change

[@andrabook8758]

@@FNGACADEMY You will definitely hate how it finishes, I assure you. That being said hurry up and watch it bc I need to join a trashing this series conversation. Also, i'm pretty sure no one thought he was a cop bc no cop has ever had THAT dumb of a reply to any question. Ever. The dialogue is like literal nails on a chalk board. The only thing good about the TV series is that it cuts out some of the trully disturbed and bizarre stuff from the book. That's it. The book is one of the best examples of accidental parody I've ever seen. I still kinda think it was meant as a practical joke. It cannot possibly have been meant seriously. It just...can't. 🤣😅😅

[@laurenmilitello6220]

It's almost as if Chris Pratt is acting like something is medically wrong with his character.... Can someone please give Sean some spoilers. Lol

[@shawncook5083]

Beat me to it. He's not over-acting bravado he's acting as if he's got another issue

[@colbs237]

Exactly right. I'm sorry, but I'm not buying what they are saying at all. What a bummer this video is.

[@noxiousham8645]

I would like to see you guys breakdown the show SEAL Team. I'm not military or anything, but from what I understand from other former military people's perspective and that there are actual former SEALs and other spec op guys in the show, it's pretty accurate tactically. I personally really like the show and there are a ton of great moments in there. I know you're busy with other shows so I know it probably won't happen anytime soon, but SEAL Team would be a good one to breakdown.

[@jhoot3482]

I was in the same boat as Sean. The first few episodes were slow an odd. But that last scene hooked me and it picks up from there.

[@danielfuglestad3440]

Kurt is back! Let's get the rest of Generation Kill brothers

[@goopup44]

"Do Navy Seals go to space? No. Do Green Berets go to space? I don't think so." Lol!

This was great. Yall insight into this, is incredible and I'd love to see more of it.

for the cqb, the lastman with the beard that threw the stun is mike sauers, seal vet founder of Forged and co founder of Murph Challenge, some of the other guys maybe team guys as well. could be why the clearing was so smooth. Hes the only one that i recognized.

[@Jerry0010]

Can't wait to see reaction to episodes 4 & 5🔥🔥

[@KillMonger592]

Keep em coming man I love this show

[@eduardosuarez2414]

The ridiculous thing about the diner scene is how Jack Carr's character made zero effort to hide that was ex-military. He knows he's going after a SEAL but apparently didn't think it was important to drop the "ex-operator" outfit. Leaving the house like "Oakleys - check. Ball cap - check. Button-up - check. Beard nice and bushy - check."

[@tlevans62]

Bwahaha, Brother, you had me ROTFL with your take down of our "civilian uniforms".. Back in the day, when I was working Intel in the Gulf, I went full tourist mode. Cargo shorts, sneakers, stupid wide brimed hat, and Tommy Bahama shirts. No Operator here folks.. Now I'm in the Philippines and the 1st Group Guys stand out like beacons with their tacticool hats, shirts, stretchy pants & Merrill or Solomon hiking boots. Having also done a stint as a LEO, Construction Worker is the "go to" plain clothes look. I always found it better looking like a sales guy, Khaki pants and black polo with some nondescript logo on the pocket. Love your takes Bro. 👍

[@jlow2809]

This review was not only the funniest thing I've seen but also highly accurate!

[@troyhoen1]

Buck, I think you'll come around by the end of the series. It took me 3 tries to get through the first episode. Now I've watched the whole series 3 times. Chin up, buddy.

[@ash5860]

Now a contractor, was on business in Germany and decided to take a trip over to Luxembourg to check out the scene with some buddies. Tell them to meet me at a Cafe downtown and I can see them from a mile away, all operator'd out. I was just like come on guys, you're not even trying lmfao

[@marcmcvey6618]

Would love to see you review, "The Siege of Jadotville." Tells the story of an amazing Irish battalion, fighting against overwhelming odds, while getting screwed over by their bosses and the UN Security Council during the Congo Wars / coups. Shows amazing combat leadership as well as tactics defending a fixed position against a numerically superior force. Really enjoyed your review of Fury, btw

[@watevakid]

I don't know how YT sent me this channel, but it's really cool hearing from actual Green Berets on these topics. I'm about ~10 mins and I'm leaving this comment because its actually really sad that even former soldiers feel like politicians aren't looking out for them. That sucks man. But, besides that, great channel. Really informative and I like the straightforward style yall communicate with.

[@drewtech1677]

Hell yes I’ve been waiting for you guys to do the terminal list I like these new rolls Chris Pratt plays I think he plays a good operator.

It's been far too long since Episode 2. Please binge watch the next few episodes so we can get the breakdown to the rest of the season!

[@roundrock63]

Sean was on fire! Have to say, I love the F&F franchise BUT I totally agree with Sean on Terminal List.

[@Hawkgx28Pyro]

Your joke about Marines and coloring books was spot on with its timing. As a grunt I laughed me ass off with that quick one.

[@Zero_Twice_00]

Most of your points are indeed valid. Some of the acting felt stiff and like they had no character but compared to other military related series I’ve seen, this is one of the top ones for me

[@morimo11]

Cops are the same way lol. I’m a police officer at an airport, and last week was the Baker 2 Vegas relay race. Watching the cops come through trying to look casually *not a cop* was hilarious. Oakleys or gators, g shock, cargo shorts, cap, some kind of patriotic to shirt. Hilarious.

[@b9swolf545]

been looking forward to this react, both entertaining and insightful, didn't catch as much subtle things as you guy did. not sure if its something you guys will react to but there is a really good animation short that has some pretty good CQB.

@@williamflowers9435 omg, where do I even start? How about the random melodrama? Main character screwing ever single female in the series. Not kidding. There's 1 he didn't, and that's just bc she was with one of the other dudes. THE damn melodrama!? The random ''shakes", where he's supposedly fighting bad guys while suffering some kind of nervous breakdown simultaneously. The complete lack of logic to any of the plot points. The fact that this dude believes everyone will LITERALLY fall apart and die is he takes a vacation or retires....WHILE, simultaneously, shaking in a corner 5 minutes before every mission. Way to go ''leadership skills"? Like...why?? O_O no one knows. Have I mentioned the melodrama? Is there a female anywhere on the horizon he's now screwing? Nope. Bc everyone knows that's what really cures PTSD. Screwing the shrink. Does it cure ''the shakes" which look suspiciously like withdrawl from illegal drugs but which the movie never portrays that way?? Hell, no! This is totally normal. Everything is ok. US security is in good hands. ....in about 10 minutes bc a female just walked by and...you know.

Not true. Guardians movies have high critics score, her have a high score. He has done some shitty movies though. And at the end of the days you just have to realize that critics will look at certain stuff and review it from a certain viewpoint. That doesn’t mean everyone will think it is good or bad. You might just have an ability to overlook some stuff that critics generally dislike. I like tacticool stuff, so the terminal list was good in my opinion. But I also understand that it has a lot of flaws.

[@andrabook8758]

I hate it when people say stuff like that bc 1- none of the logic in the movie works, it may be technically accurate in terms of a few moves here and there but the moves are happening in a fight scene which makes zero sense. so who cares? 2 - 99.9% of the audience is not gonna notice those little trivia details you're all excited about. They're gonna notice Chris Pratt looking like he's got brain damage AND severe hemorrhoids tho, throughout most of the movie.

[@andrabook8758]

if the movie had ended with the main character waking up from Severe Hemorrhoids-induced hallucinations, that would have actually been a better ending. It would have made a lot more sense. Even the confused stripper would have been like: "Ohhhhh, I get it now. " It would have definitely explained his fun collection of rope and turkey necks.

I was with my nephew in Atlanta Airport when he was out of the Rangers for little over a year. He goes that guys dressed like a Ranger then he goes that one to. He was embarrassed because he had a t shirt with a Ranger tab on it. The funny thing all of them might of as well because you all are right, you stick out. He actually sees someone he knows and they start talking and he is asking about guys and they keep stopping in mid sentence to not give any details. You are correct that you suppose not stand out, but your egos and that is human nature. You want to be in that fraternity. My sons wrestle in college and I thought it be the same but it is not. These young men can bury you, but with my two sons you never know.

[@erikharaldsson6068]

I normally don't read fiction either but I did read all of the "Terminal List" books. In fact, I actually listened on audiobook, 2 times per book. I thought they were very good. The first season of the show made quite a few changes and omissions of details in the book. It'll be hard to know how bad that is in the grand scheme of things until more seasons start dropping. I'm not optimistic the way television entertainment has gone lately. I'm fairly confident that it's not Jack Carr who is ordering Amazon to dial up the drama. In the books, I felt it was always well placed and well written. In the show, I would bet a lot that it's Amazon changing what the books said, often times quite drastically. Changing 1 character's entire role and fate in the series. One of them was killed off in the first book but in the show this person (so I don't spoiler) received a completely different fate for... You decide what for. 😉
