I remember when I was about 10, sitting in church with my dad, and he swatted at his pant leg by his knee a few times. I asked, "what's wrong, Daddy?", and he told me to be quiet and pay attention to the sermon. He was stung four times on the knee area. We found out that day that he was allergic to stings. His leg swelled up, and he could barely walk, but he limped out of church and drove to the hospital. Not nearly the level of what was mentioned here, but I was pretty impressed.

For reference, Waco had both the FBI and the ATF present heavily involved in the siege, while the Ruby Ridges siege had FBI do much more of the grunt work at ground level. This should give you all the context you need as to why an FBI HRT guy was (relatively) more open about why Waco was such a fuckup but said very little about Ruby Ridges.

I've looked all over and can't find anything as to just how short was too short. They might have been 10" or they might have been 17.75" for all we know.

@@jacobstaten2366 It should also be said that they induced him to make those short barreled shotguns in the first place. He was eventually acquitted of the charges on the grounds of entrapment. So the FBI attempted to pressure a man into involving himself in a dangerous undercover operation, tricked him into violating the NFA, then murdered his wife and children, and he was ultimately found not guilty at the end of the whole thing. Waco is debatable, but anyone who defends the actions of the feds at Ruby Ridge is either blind or stupid and probably both.

The bad guy in that Captain America scene was also former DGSE (French CIA), and French SOF are also known for 'Assault Rappelling' face-down, so the expert in this case is wrong about technique there. It makes sense though that FBI-HRT would know they can safely rappel face-up because they plan all their breaches to a T, and secure the ground before going in. But SOF may not always know if the ground is secure, and want to keep their guns pointed forward so they're not caught butt-in-the-air with a hostile below.

That's not a fair assessment about secret service in 1963 because the president wanted to campaign from a open top convertible.

They didn't fire an automatic weapon at Waco or Ruby Ridge though. At Ruby Ridge one person was killed by a sniper shot from the FBI Hostage Response Team (a few others had died earlier on in an incident involving US Marshals). At Waco they pumped the building full of tear gas until it caught fire. I don't believe the FBI fired on anyone inside. The point he was making in that segment is that you wouldn't lay down suppressing fire with a machine gun from a helicopter with civilians present. If you were going to take a shot at all, it would be a sniper shot.

The thing about the rescue of Captain Philips was very impressive as four Navy SEAL snipers had to synchronize their shots together. Three of the snipers had their target dialed it, it was the fourth one that they had to wait the longest for, and once the fourth sniper locked in the fourth target, it was when they all shot in perfect sync. It was truly remarkable and testament of their skills. I believe that Jocko, in his breakdown of that scene, said that he thought the commander who ordered the snipers to shoot was micromanaging. From what I recall - this was years ago- the snipers took the shots together without being told. What also made the execution of the pirates was that Philips stayed in the same spot during the entire ordeal and it made the snipers' job a little bit easier. The lifeboat being kept on a leash to the cargo ship, bobbing on the ocean, and the wearing off of khat made the pirates so queasy, it was bound to happen the snipers will send the pirates to meet their maker.

That's pretty true about anything where someone was personally involved. In college, we had to give a mock-briefing on a significant military event and how intelligence factored in to the overall success or failure of said event. My roommate was unlucky enough to be briefing his group's event- the Tet Offensive- when we had a Vietnam vet who was on the receiving end of the Offensive subbing in for our professor. My roommate was factual and clinical about the battle until he made the mistake of saying something to the effect of "from this point on, America was losing the war" when he MEANT America was losing the will to fight the war. The subbed in professor then gave him a lecture on what it was like being part of the Tet Offensive and how, militarily, the US won that battle and continued to smack the VC around from above regularly. Fortunately, his grade was not fully in the hands of the professor so he was fine. I would like to note that later the subbed in professor DID come in (I expect without prodding because he was genuinely that kind of guy) and apologized for letting personal feelings get in the way of an otherwise effective briefing.

I have great respect for the skills and discipline of HRT troopers. Rangers, SEALs, SF and Delta guys speak very highly of their professionalism and consummate competence. That being said, the his comments about Ruby Ridge and Waco really made me cringe. Many people involved, including HRT guys, have previously spoken to how screwed up it all was - especially how they were sent in to clean up ATF's messes. But Mr. Whitcomb basically blasts these movies for not being pro-law enforcement propaganda pieces. -The Ruby Ridge movie was made for TV that aired in '96 about a disastrously controversial shootout in Idaho in '92 under the Clinton administration. Clinton was President (Head of Executive Branch) from 1992-2000 with Janet Reno as his AG (Head of Justice Department) during that entire period . So while this film was being made, do you think the producers of this movie were given access to the US Marshal, ATF, or FBI agents (all Justice Dept) involved in the intimate planning details of the event so they could get all the government details right? Weak... * By the way, the Justice Department was so anxious to sweep the controversy under the rug that instead of being punished or reprimanded in any way, the 'elite' snipe who mistakenly shot Weaver's unarmed wife in the head through a curtained window while she held her infant -and then perjured himself in sworn court testimony about the incident -was awarded a medal. The bureau's special agent in charge of the overall siege at Ruby Ridge was promoted to Deputy Director of the FBI. No one involved in that debacle was fired or prosecuted in any way. -He says the only thing that's right about the Waco series was the building reproduction, and then proceeds to validate every scene shown. His gripe is that they didn't adequately convey how caring and compassionate the besieging government agents were. Even weaker. In no way were these incidents black and white, good vs. evil. But he certainly makes it seem that way. For all I know, nothing in his own personal performance of duty in the aforementioned events would tarnish his reputation, but this certainly seems like close-ranks-never-narc cop mentality here.

All the guy wanted was for the compassionate side of the agents to be portrayed, how would that be propaganda? Most officers never want to shoot people, to me it seems like portraying compassion would've made it balanced. It's not pro-law enforcement to suggest that agents have feelings and are still human, if you don't see that then perhaps you're the one who's seen too much propaganda

I was a designated marksman in the direct action platoon in force recon, depending on the situation when we did MIO(maritime interdiction operation) taking ships at see we had both Helo insertion and overwatch with zodiacs bringing more in at the fantail. Caving ladders were used to get up into the main deck of the ship and men fast roped into the command deck. In all clearing and taking command of the ship took some time. Giant cargo ships have so many hiding places plus you have to find what they were trying to smuggle in country. Lots of fun!! Man I miss it sometimes!!
