[@dellawrence4323]

@@adrianh332 You are wrong, Pedo's typically select the career they follow because it gives them unsupervised access to other peoples children, that is why so many of them choose careers as school teachers, Priests, scout leaders, social workers, nursery school staff etc, elite soldiers however are not likely to have access to young children, as most people they meet are other soldiers or terrorists, very few of them are unsupervised young children, so the accusations are bullshiite, but I'm guessing that you are just a hate filled leftist who is happy to insult dead British heroes because of your twisted ideology.

[@pjmoseley243]

The one surviving terrorist was released from Prison and is now an approved refugee living in LONDON on full benefits and Council housed. This was revealed on Piers Morgans Good Morning Britain, when Piers interviewed Mr Curry who is one of the SAS team in this video, he was at the time HOMELESS and living on charity given to him by his old regiment, Piers kicked up a huge stink about this and Hereford Council bosses had to give in under huge public pressure. But thats not the end of it Hereford Council attempted to get Piers Morgan sacked from his job for calling them out! its all here on youtube Good Morning Britain! That in truth is how the British military are treated by authorities after they have left our services. its only those good volunteer groups who do their very best to help our old soldiers sailors and airmen.

The world should know, and I believe must know, just how critical SAS roles were, and the dedication and sacrifice for mission success side by side with the American nation is unequivocal, that I am personally aware of anyway. Many ppl, globally, do not realize how much Prime Minister Tony Blair stood up to those who opposed being an ally with America for the war, and that commitment was just as reinforced throughout ALL British military ranks! My hat comes off to our British Ally, as well a solid heartfelt salute. Will fight side by side anytime, anywhere. HOOAH! Respectfully, American Veteran.

Mark Millar The hostage takers were demonstrating against the harsh treatment of Arab minorities .. Their decent treatment of the hostages and their statements that they had no argument with the UK government ,, Were ignored ! SAS who abseiled from roof top ended up hanging upside down in full view of the "terrorist " who chose to throw their arms down and not engage the SAS .. Despite that SAS searched the embassy and "nutted " non resisting "terrorist " Horrified hostage's seeing what was happening smuggled the surviving man out of the Embassy and resisted attempts by the death squad to drag him to a "nut job " within the Embassy .. So how legends are invented !

[@AlaninValleSanLorenzo]

Moon beam- The SAS had the instructions to rescue ALL hostages not just the British. The terrorists had said that they would kill ALl the hostages after the deadline. The British authorities tried to negotiate a peaceful solution but the terrorists started killing the hostages. You obviously have no experience of warfare. If you do not have a kill or be killed attitude YOU will die !!

[@moonbeam1982]

AR The man the hostage takers killed was an Iranian rep,of the Ayatollah regime who hanged gays etc . They made it plain they had no grudge with British ,who were hostile themselves against Iran after the notorious US UK backed Shah regime with its murderous CIA trained SAVAK death squads were overthrown who liked to torture opponents of the Shah SAS men were not facing a life or death situation in the Iranian Embassy .. Hostages had witnessed the men throw down their guns ,offer no resistance ,once the SAS made entry .They could have easily killed sas man who ended tangled up in his abseiling gear outside the embassy window .. ISIS terrorist would have not hesitated to kill the helpless soldier .. US / UK bombers had bombed residential Iraq cities after 12 yrs of cruel sanctions against its people .According to HARVARD PUBLIC HEATH GROUP who visited bombed cities ,Kids were playing in streets awash with raw sewerage . Bombers had destroyed sewer works -water -gas -electricity--food depots-civic buildings ,police /fire stations -homes .communications.,roads etc An estimated million civilians died inc 500,000 children under five ,of malnutrition & disease THE LANCER . previously Iraqis had enjoyed decent health services etc. COLIN POWELL whose impassioned speech to the UN Security Council urging war ,later admitted he had lied lied on behalf of the BUSH OIL DYNASTY . and was very angry that he now had a BLACK MARK ON HIS RECORD but NOT A WORD OF REGRET IN REGARDS TO THE MANY INNOCENT CIVILIANS WHO PERISHED .. Or the aftermath on western civilians ..In NEW YORK Saudi s seeking revenge ,used the same tactics as US attackers ie Destroy ECONOMIC -MILITARY --POLITICAL targets Two out of three aint bad ..

The one that got away (so to speak)...Because the hostages liked him compaired to the others. The SAS wanted to take him out back and shoot him. Yet couldn't because of the amount of media presence. It's a shame they couldn't find that little dark corner and make it work. Apart from that... Great fucking job lads... This is why I don't mind paying tax in the UK.

There is another British special forces unit which is even more deadly. The special forces unit of the Royal Navy - The Special Boat Service (SBS).

Not seeing the faces of the "gang" would make me believe that this documentary was made not long after the siege. Its funny they all star in the reconstructions though.

Did that trooper who got caught up abseiling down make it into the raid? Hope he did. I'd imagine he'd get fucking roasted forever afterwards if not.

[@shaundavenport621]

He did carry on with the assault. He also got a medal for continuing. I believe his name was Takavesi,a Fijian.

[@motionadapt1589]

Yea he was apparently first through one of the doors after he got down and supposedly killed one of them unsure if true

[@dionlindsay2]

There's something weird about this emptying magazines of bullets into a single body in the middle of a gun fight. Why would you do it? I can think of reasons NOT to: it takes time, it wastes bullets, and it could be a sign of ill discipline - of temper getting the better of the shooter. I thought the SAS had a "two tap" practice - once to stop, and once more to be sure they're dead. You see US police doing something similar: when a suspect is cornered, half a dozen troopers shoot lots of bullets at him or her simultaneously. I don't get it: why, when there are civilians or other police around, risk collateral damage? Again, it just seems like ill-discipline, or at least overkill (a sad hehe)

that's a negative.. all our special operations teams use live rounds shooting houses!!

[@jjang1412]

they all do now but I think they were all influenced by the sas

[@slickstrings]

The 'killhouse' was pioneered by the british sas. The reason the sas took up CT ops was from watching the failures of other nations dealing with violent terrorists.
