Delta Force Operator Before and After Black Hawk Down - with Kyle Lamb 

damn, I never knew their actual names, thanks for sharing, looked em up

Lmaoo what

Who cares nerd

@@S.T.A.550 look those 2 men up and you’ll see what I mean.

Never knew they made out.

that is part of our training to be able to kill

Patience and compassion.

Hi! Is it possibile to see that picture somewhere? :)

It was totally stupid and unlogical.

Even for those who EDC- you should have a tourniquet in your vehicle- "Truck EDC", if you will.

People seem to get too smart for their own good. Then at some point they realize that there's a reason why people did things for thousands of years.

@@ArmyVet1776 Carry one in my backpack and one my car at all times.

Agreed, I was amazed to have soooo much interaction with teams guys as a 12B attached to regular Army Engineering battalion.

@@jw5297 yea man we are still learning the outcomes of what we have done over time. It makes perfect sense if you look at as a tool. Everything is specific and has its purposes you don’t use precision tools like a filet knife to hunt a deer or animal. Interesting stuff good topics l, I love looking into details and history now to understand big pictures of everything. Even small picture in squads everyone has a purpose to support your unit.

@@tonydijock151 Yep, and why it is truly so important for those who didn't serve to attempt to understand because it's not as cut and dry as just going to war, every war we've fought in has been different, and every mission set has brought on its own series of challenges, and why our military needs to just be a fighting force and have zero political affiliation. Our military is being ruined by politics, and the civilian population is far to involved in it's decision making. If someone has poked us in the eye, and brought the fight to our door, then we need to be able to step out back, close the door and get down to business without the softhearts saying we shouldn't be fighting. The only action humans respect is violence, because it is commanded and extracted from them. Everything else is or will be dismissed

@@jw5297 yea that’s a nice thought and that’s how it used to be. We would do everything in our power to not go to war, countries would beg. And only until congress!! Not a puppet president could act arrivals of war. And when we did let loose the hounds of hell, no holds bar. But since then we are corrupted by the military industrial complex. Civilians have really nothing to do with it, it’s the complex of corporate entities-media,military,pharma,banks,contractors they all have there hands in the control. As general smedley butler said “war is a racket” in all my engagements where I sent boys to die for men in suits with a pen and paper. I’ll tell you what the next civil war/world war is going to rely and depend on the civilian population and pockets n groups of organized renegades. I look back on my career as 11B and now that I’m wise I’m sad at the things I’ve done, but I only cherish the brothers I got to know on my left and right and the knowledge the government gave me to one day use against a tyrant lol

Great lessons learned but we really need to start training for a peer to peer conflict. We don’t own the night against peers and it would have to change SOPs, looking at Ukraine as an example

The problem is you can’t and shouldn’t trust any of them. Prior military here and I’ll tell you, not all prior service guys are on the same team…

If you really wanna know then grow a pair and ask him yourself. Delta made a statement that they had 3 operators there during the last few days to help the FBI use some surveillance gear. If you don't believe that statement from the unit then why would you believe what this man would tell you

@@DieselDoktor any of them is pretty strong wording. Someone who fought in the GWOT 15 years ago is probably not the most pro government/system person out there. In my experience most people just wanted to fight and hated the bureaucracy, hence the last 7-5 years being a huge purge of those types. Throwing the baby out with the bath water is in vogue right now for the ANCAP crowd and idk why, if things imploded would you really tell some 20 year Green Beret who came to help to piss off because the government is in your walls and then waste copious amounts of time reinventing the wheel?

​@@tattoochefexcept Bill Clinton's own statements during an early 2000 Civil trial refute the scope of work delta force was doing there

@@MaxPower321 I think you misunderstand… I’m saying “don’t trust anyone who hasn’t earned it personally with you.” Of course, if shtf then I want other military guys with me. But it doesn’t mean I’m going to trust someone just because they’re prior military. And yea, watching the “withdrawal” in Afghanistan felt like the government pissing on the graves of my friends. I’m under no misconception that they’d gladly murder my wife and children if it got them better stock prices. The overall point is that if they’re still in the system they’re probably not your friend. Look at almost any government… everyone who gets paid by the government does what they are told.

Solzhenitsyn talk at Harvard was great too, from Stand Up and Lead ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hS98JFftbGc.html

He seems like a cool dude 🤷🏽‍♂️

I have never heard anyone describe Kyle as using "few words" 😂...his rambling, nonsensical stories are part of his charm.

@@DWBCustomAmmo the stories always take a turn and that makes them great, but when he answers a question directly he sums up a large concept so precisely and in a way even I can understand, though to be fair, I'm ex-military too.

@@goatman3828 I'm just a guy who's interested in being prepared for the world we face, and found myself agreeing to this, hell i'm just turning 20 and have a horrible habit of overexplaining and overcomplicating things myself.

Absolutely!

Just wondering, specifically Delta or SF in general? Are there significant differences that jump out for you? Thanks.

@@paulfraszczynski674 i struggle between wanting to express my pain like friends and one thing I’m struck by most in the men that I’ve heard interviewed from Delta. There’s just there’s intangibles like this level of humility and this type of mindset that when you read literature, too some of the great minds have shared some of their tactics, but mindset and, but with respect to special forces, Green Berets and Delta, there’s definitely some similarities least I would perceive them as once again I had a couple screen time at Fort Polk and man they were just the most humble laid-back decent guy that made me wanna run through a wall form and would’ve been happy to be their janitor if they offered Delta for being the janitor .. with delta, there’s this almost mythical. It would be mythical of it wasn’t true, but that’s the thing they are true but there’s a true level of autonomy and remain anonymous and also the way they prep for missions. I got to see such an incredible contrast between Delta. Reece handled an op during Annacoda if memeory serves me .. not trying to put the seal team down, but it was no even close decision. If I did, you choose what team I would want to go beyond that time they are really truly like mythical warriors of the greatest warriors in the world ever has ever seen in my humble opinion, and that will never change, if this goes up, I’m gonna be enthusiastically looking out for men because I’m kind of a loan road warrior and I know stuff goes really bad. It’s not gonna be the smartest thing to operate completely by yourself.

Behind every strong man you will notice a stronger woman.

I shot competitions with Kyle fairly regularly in the mid 90's. Always liked him. Most of the military guys didn't really associate much with us non-military, but Kyle was always really positive and friendly and did a lot of work organising shoots.

You must be his wife

THANK YOU BROTHER

God bless you warriors 💪🫡

AATW!

didn't expect to see you here.

Exactly I see so often Christianity has been neutered and feminized. Like guys actually read your Bible, it’s not just about peace and love and acceptance as people who have never read the Bible always try to say and argue. Jesus was not just a peace and love hippie like they try to say and the Old Testament aka the law is oof, there’s some hardcore stuff in those books

Interesting description.

It’s because 1 of 2 things either he wasn’t an important player in the region regardless of who his father is. There’s a lot of big players in the arena that there kids are kept away from the family business. Just like any other child on earth who doesn’t anything to do with what their parents are doing. They can just as easily be embarrassed about who their parents are and what they do. I know some that have made it their life mission to destroy what their parents built. The ones who follow in those footprints aren’t worth much until after their parents pass away. The ones who end up being trained by us don’t have access to any of our information that’s not already public knowledge. Those people who have a interesting past can’t pass for a clearance and we tend to keep an eye on them. But it was way harder for people to find and release anything since cellphones were a big thing yet. But look at all the war lords, drug lords, arms dealers and straight criminals that were trained by us, supplied and funded them. Then we do what we always do and disappear in the middle of the night and leave them to pick up the pieces. We trained bin Laden and setup him to fight the Russians and every war lord in Afghanistan. We did the same thing as the first time and slipped away in the dead of night leaving them to clean the mess up. The difference this time was we went and kicked all the hornets nests and stepped on all the ant hills on the way out. At least we gave them a fully functional and very capable military before we said fuck you guys I’m going home.

Marines aren’t Soldiers and Hussein Farrah Aidid isn’t the only Marine that spoke Somali. Also most Somalis also speak Arabic and it is one of the national languages spoken in Somalia

He does mention it, though.

Oh we in the Marines were very aware of the guy once we learned his lineage. Guy always had another Marine by his side. Just in case. Its weird though, guy went kim jong un. Nobody knew who they were and they spent most of their education in the west. But got back to home countries and did a 180

Tom Satterly on Shawn Ryan goes into it

Thats just about everywhere but tbh, i had 3 deployments to Syria from 2016-2020 Syria might be the most interesting conflict there has been. Rules didnt seem to exist, hell it feels as if that war barely existed smh

@@be_reselientWhy do you think some wars are “forgotten”?

@@marco_marks well I deployed from 2016-20120 non stop. Syrian War was brutal. Barely anyone talks about it now. No movies made so far etc. agreed… Where did you serve

Well you can't kill all the customers

So sorry for the loss of your father.
