@@timothyday8565 nah it was to give them effect that they had the newest and coolest stuff. They are wearing the Navy's desert camo at the time. Not sure why that one dudes wearing M81
@@RemembertThe20thMain Because that one dude was either not Navy or was embedded with Afghan troops at the time. This movie was advised by active duty ST6 members(who got their asses chewed for it) So is more faithful to reality than others.
One of my favorite movies. Covering the meticulous fieldwork and frustration over several years that provided a strong hint of UBL's location. The realism and how scenes play out not with music and sound effects but quietly, methodically. If you wanted non-stop shooting and hand-to-hand combat with scene cuts every second, this is not the movie for you.
I really admire how, even in such a critical mission, the leaders still questioned the risks and prioritised the safety of their own men. It shows their commitment to the team, even when tasked with taking down a target as high-profile as UBL
Risk is always factored in, the value of the target will just increase the acceptable level of risk. "End the war tonight" missions will be authorized one ways while routine training is very low accepted risk.
Always loved how she says " and you're going to kill him for me." Though... the way Mariko politely asked her bodyguards to kill sentries blocking their way in Shogun might be just as good.
@@thevet2009 Thanks for the correction, Friend. It had escaped my notice that this was a dramatic retelling of the killing of OBL. By the way, I don't think she would have spoken to the Director of the CIA in the way that she did either.
If you're working in an artificially lit hangar and the doors open up to daylight, everyone walking in will be silhouettes to you. Same effect as if you're looking at someone and they're right in front of a parked car with its headlights on.
"With your dip, your velcro and your gear bullshit " .....hahah !!!!!!!!! Got to love her and this tremendous performance to bits ......the urbane but driven CIA analyst and the backwoodsmen turned soldiers.....and ....oh their feelings must be hurt .............:)
@@beansofhorrorshalashaska6987- They can question anything, because questioning is cheap; finding a needle in a haystack in Pakistan is hard. There's nothing more self-important than DEVGRU, but indulging their egos is usually seen a part of the game, except among those who won't play it. That's the way it is, beesh.
You are having a great nap after lunch in the dark hangar, suddenly the hangar doors opens , the brass walks in with a bunch of folks . You take whatever closest to you and start acting. 101 survival playbook. My chief use to tell the boys, take the screwdriver and screw some rivets if needs be .
They don't have to like it. As long as they do it. They are not paid to like a damn thing. But they do get paid to follow the damned order, don't they?
Worthless affirmative action hire who has never served or pulled a trigger a day in her life, talking down to tier one operators who put their asses on the line every op.
Lacks the firepower of a Blackhawk?! I know there’s an MH-60 but just for everyone’s reference, a UH-60 has the same firepower as your standard Toyota Prius which is to say NONE! Luckily the door gunners have mounts for an M-60 or 240B but the Utility Helicopters (UH60 and 46) are inherently not AH or Attack Helicopters (AH-64 Apache for example) which has armament. Hollywood always queers shit up.
She not in the military she’s cia and most SF and smo guys have their hands in their pockets anyway. The whole no hands in pockets is for grunts and their ocd NCOs.
@@snowleopard0412 But Bin Laden use to work for CIA? CIA created the Al-Qaeda. So indirectly she is saying kill UBL because he is no longer of use to us. 😂
I thought this too and it never made sense to me. Right from the start the goal has been to deliver candy floss to him and hang around long enough for a tip and a review. Then this chick shows up with and is talking about killing. Like did he do something bad?
Yeah, but the reason why SEAL was sent because the commander of the SOCOM was a Marine. At least that's what I've heard from many sources and 'stories'
@@guillermorosales6490 Their latest high profile mission was killing the Baghdadi in a joint op with Turks. (Which Turks just provided intel about where Baghdadi was and the house he was hiding also cordinated Rebels to not intervene because rebels do hate U.S as they pretty much sold rebels out to Russians.) They are VERY active since Mogadishu.
Certainly lets the others work more quietly. There's always been this big argument about them not using Delta due to AO's but if we're really dropping all the bullshit and being intellectually honest with ourselves they used SEALS/Devgru because they knew this would either be public or semi-public in terms of limelight attention.
@@louisjordan4702 Well I have actually. But what you don't seem to realize is you just agreed with the principle I outlined. Why are they relatively unknown? They don't get the limelight.
@@jon8004 i am from abbottabad and i know better than you and your media.. They hang the saddam hussain and there's a complete video of his death. Did u saw any single picture of him ?? Be realistic. That was just a political meanuver by obama administration. Nothing more than that.
