I did my basic training with willie in the nz territorials 90th intake Waiouru in 89, he showed his qualities from day dot. Top bloke, we all knew he was gonna be a good soldier, we just didn’t know he would take it to the highest level. Proud of the bro 👍
5th on the list of Most Trusted New Zealanders. Hahaha, what a joke, he's fucking NUMBER #1,I don't think I'll ever trust a Rugby player over a military hero. WILLIE 4 LIFE!!
Big Love from across the ditch Willie. For all the rivalry we have between Aus and NZ in sports, so glad to have the Kiwis fighting alongside us. ANZACs.
Yer we like to smash each other in the sporting sense but when it really comes down to it kiwis and aussies got each other's back versus any other nation
All he wanted was to return to his unit and go on deployments which he did only for a while until a newspaper took a picture of him during an operation And published it which ruin his Career as a special forces operator
Zach t yea bro foreign press took those pics. And it fucked his career alright... He was pulled out of Afghanistan straight away after that... Not long afterwards he left the Army I think?🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Willie Apiata, sorry i am only posting this now, What a man. Thanks to all the ANZAC'S. Respect always to the Australian's and New Zealander's especially the great ANZAC'S of WW1 and WW2. Best wishes always from the UK.
The SEALs are based on the SAS. The US military came to Hereford before setting up the SEALs to see what selection was like and to try to replicate it.
Found out matua willie was a bad ass here on youtube 🤣 i thought he just loved pig hunting. Kia mau te wehi matua you truly are a humble but tuturu man.
You dont have to show you are a hard man when you know inside that you can take care of what ever comes b4 you as i always say dont fear the big shauting guy but instead keep a close eye on the lille silent guy
He ran 112ks all while under fire while carrying his commanding officer on his back and then he returned and helped beat back the Talban what a beast lol
Don’t fight for queen and country, well said Willie, why would we do that? Exactly as you said, I would go to war for my family and friends, not for anyone else
hey john jay try reading the 1st two books by andy mcnab who was in the british sas. it took him two goes to get in. apparently in the british, aussie and nz sas its two goes then thats it. mind you while the idea is to get in theres no shame in not makeing it. shit how many dont even get invited to join.
As long as you can pass a medical, and security clearance (police check) and pass the required fitness level test to enter basic training you can still enter
U have to get thru the normal army first which isn't easy then it steps up to 12 more levels in the SAS if u get a chance and that's a huge if,even willy failed his first time fuk me
'thou shalt not kill', its a commandment not an option! Now i understand why our old people found it difficult to talk about WW2! It was almost like they were cursed cos they didn't obey the 'thou shalt not kill' commandment!
Rubbish, if you are going to quote the Bible, do it properly. Exodus 20:13 says "Thou shalt not murder." There is a world of difference between kill and murder.
My grandfather was a very religious man. Served in kayforce and malaya conflicts. The six commandment prohibits murder not killing. He often cited a time to kill, a time to heal, a time for war, and a time for peace. Ecclesaties 3.3,8. It's on his head stone. He didn't spout off about war and soldiering because it's an unhumble thing to do, but he was never ashamed by his service or what he did.
No, I don't have hang ups. What I have is very serious misforgivings about those who get involveed in other peoples wars when in actuall fact they have not even been threatened themselves. Are you about to tell me that this worthless individual has no innocent blood on his hands. Get a life. You blindly follow what other people tell you and you feel justified...I know of families of the deceased that would love to get their hands on you and rip you to shreads. I know how they feel.
daniel davidson Why would the families of deceased terrorists love to get their hands on me and rip me to shreds? You're completely insane; don't you realize that? No, I guess not.
zeissOholic Shout shout let it all out; these are the the things I can do without : You, and your stupid fucking opinion. Go and stick your fuckin head right back up your uneducated ass , which is where it belongs. There you go---is that foul mouthed enough for you? , you imbecile ...
Are we under the confederation? What about redress of lore over introduced law? The DSM 3 or 4 if founded by the doctorate? If ink and paper are over that of the flesh desecrated? Who am I then? SAS operative? Rank G-119305? War strategist? Prodigal son or progidical daughter? Received baptism from Poland?
