They Kidnapped The SAS And FOUND OUT… (*ACTUAL FOOTAGE*)

NEW MERCH: ethosthreads.com/collections/...
On Monday September 19th, 2005 2 British operatives conducting covert surveillance in the hostile city of Basra, Iraq were taken prisoner of war. The operatives, compromised by a group of corrupt Iraqi police, were members of the British Army's Tier one unit, the 22nd SAS. Unleashing a swift response from their nearby fellow SAS Operators- who defied orders to stand down, to save their comrades.
The rescue operation, a symphony of calculated maneuvers and strategic brilliance, showcased the unparalleled skills of the Special Air Service. Employing a combination of stealth, firepower, and tactical finesse, the rescuers penetrated enemy lines, navigating the labyrinthine urban landscape of Basra with the finesse of shadowy ghosts.
Under the cover of darkness, the SAS operatives, once captives, found themselves at the heart of a well-coordinated extraction. The element of surprise shifted in their favor, turning the tide against those who sought to imprison them. In a seamless ballet of combat prowess, the rescuers swiftly neutralized threats, liberating their comrades and leaving a trail of bewilderment in their wake.
The rescue of the captured SAS in Basra stood as a testament to the unwavering commitment and proficiency of these elite forces, underscoring their ability to triumph against adversity and emerge victorious even in the most challenging circumstances.

As an American I approve this message. Col. Charlie Beckworth was with the 22nd SAS and was so impressed he based the complete Delta program on the SAS selection and Sq. Concept. Not sure who is better and don't give a damn. The guys in Delta I met had the utmost respect for SAS/SBS and said they were cut from the same cloth and actually not a lot of difference between them. They of course all talk shit about each other but would run and gun with any of them!

[@afsoccommando]

@@adrianbland7656 Sorry,you are wrong. Delta is at the same level as the SAS. They have skills of the trade they are better at and the SAS has skills they are better at. Having worked with all 3 groups, (never worked with the SBS) this has been said to me by both groups. Delta does have much better funding which helps them get more training. SAS is really good at thinking outside the box since they don't get all of the funding and make due with what they have. Both groups have worked extensively with each other for the last 20 years and taught each other lessons learned from past operations and training. SAS wrote the book on counter terrorism, but that doesn't mean others can't learn. The dick swinging contest is done by civilians, the team guys just bust each others balls and have respect for each other. The ONLY thing I will say the SAS is absolutely better at (and it has to do with British law) is they Rarely if ever talk about their experiences when they leave the service. Delta guys do talk, not specifics but they do talk much more about the experiences they have had then SAS lads.

[@johndfc4647]

As a UK civilian, I look from the outside and think , our special forces are part of a special forces family . That family is basically UK USA and commonwealth, I think they all respect each other , train together and would think nothing about helping each other .

I wouldn't ignore the nato countries sf as well because they must also be part of the distant family . I salute them all.

Another thing I'd like to point out that a lot of the higher ups in the United Kingdom were against the creation of commandos and the SAS since they have considered it to be ungentlemanly warfare and that mindset goes all the way back as far as the French and Indian War.

Damn Popo, that entry was off the hook. The graphics and music were something else; you're forging new paradigms for content creators to follow with your content.

Glad to hear our US troops offered to help. What I'm wondering is when is the movie coming out? After all these years somebody must have written a script, what's the holdup?

[@peterjackhandy]

Problem is - The only way they can get the money to make a film is if they have the Americans doing the rescuing... And they think the Brits might be a tad displeased with that {:0)

[@Lukeyo1993]

Unlike the US Sas are bound by the official secret act which is why there faces are always covered. You need permission from the the government to tell your story so maybe they don't want it told because they disobeyed orders?

[@Andre_Nickatina]

Great video as always!!

[@moranmichael9226]

Love it, thank you, brother!

[@DerekBox]

Great video! Technically Delta Force is based on the SAS, not the other way around!

[@surfingtothestars]

All he said is they’re the equivalent of Delta Force, not based on Delta Force.

[@wyattf13]

Yeah weird comment seeing as I don't think he used the phrase based on at all.

[@MrDanaris]

one does not simply tell the SAS to not do something

[@LedSeng]

this story was almost 20 years ago though :( things have gone down since. but bringing attention to the fact is a good thing. means that we can allocate resources and focus on getting things back to their needed level.

[@randymichel459]

BZ Popo. A prime example that the people in the field know more about what is taking place, long before the bureaucrats back home do. It’s best to delegate and trust your people to do whatever it takes to accomplish the mission. Success should matter more than optics.

[@darkmatter6714]

The SAS came first and all of America’s special forces units were modeled after them, so I wouldn’t call the SAS “the British equivalent of Delta Force”, I’d call Delta Force the American equivalent of the SAS. That is if you can even call Delta Force “equivalent”, because the Brits didn’t teach early American special forces everything they knew - to this day, the SAS are the only special forces unit in the world which has torture resistance as part of their training program.

[@Dismay992]

Another dumb British comment. The US has surpassed the British in special operations for a long time. Look at Iraq, US SOF led by Delta Force scored hundreds of more kills and captures than UKSF led by SAS. SAS commander Richard Williams even challenged his men to try and keep up with Delta. Delta Force and SAS literally trade operators all the time, so you thinking they are not equivalents at the very least is ridiculous. Oh and lets not forget Delta Force has never been captured or needed a rescue before, unlike the SAS. There's a reason why you're chattering about the SAS but know next to nothing about Delta Force.

Love your vids, man.. love the way you fuse your content with adrenaline.

[@camelotenglishtuition6394]

I love SAS stories, reminds me of my great grandfather who did some amazing shit as one of Churchill's desert rats...including but not limiting to: being a lone survivor and living in the African desert for months, getting taken as a POW, breaking out of the POW camp, then making his way across Africa to then stow away on a vessel headed back to England.

[@robertjackson8199]

Massive respect to your great grandfather. My dad was one of those desert rats. I have his medals underneath my Christmas tree. I miss him dearly. Proper blokes.

[@chelsealouise3137]

Respect! My grandfather was in the first. SAS parachute regiment. He was so silent he would appear behind you and have a bitter knife at you’re throat. He was also a POW and escaped the are even more deadly now. Due to the secrets act he couldn’t speak of much of his time but they are definitely tough as nails he certainly was. He was a marine got blown up sent home then decided nope not done and was recruited for SAS in 1942. Would never ever know as he was most u assuming quiet humble reserved man. His stomach actually began to knit together due at starvation from German troops. Thing is dont turn you’re back on an SAS soldier. He was awarded many medals for his contribution to the war effort. Being a Scotsman he didn’t want anything he said he was there to defend his home and family more so king and country. REIP my incredible grandfather born 1919-1994 wish he could’ve written a book of all his achievements. Reported 2 times as KIA he was just behind enemy lines kicking ass.
