SAS Operator SMOKED Nairobi Insurgents! | REACTION! 

Make it to the court martial.

It's always the case but it's a Job to them.. you know there's no glory very quickly in the military.

They don't publicise or make out their HERO'S,it's a job they signed up to do,nothing more. The leader of the Reg' that stormed the Iranian Embassy lost his son in Afghanistan and he never got over it.

SAS SBS operators don't what exposure to the media or known as hero's that's why there faces are covered they don't go showing off or seek Hero's status they need to remain unknown that's there Creed if you like

nice respect from UK for him from his service.. glad to hear he has good life now.. so sad where UK has gone..

This is absolutely worth checking out.

Great video. Good call.

Snapper, aka soldier I is the one to tell the mirbat story.

​@@tobytaylor2154I've read his book, it's excellent.

I assume the criticism centres around not wanting to publicise these kinds of actions as it then attracts the wrong type of recruits.

@@StimParavane I hope this answers your comment. The criticism came from senior members of the Foreign Office. They would have preferred Christian did nothing at all when the attack broke out. Boiling down their argument to saying he should have asked for permission to assist the Kenyan forces with saving the hostages. They said it set a bad example to younger officers. The thing is, Christian is not just some random soldier in the British Army. First off, he was out in Kenya, embedded with the Kenyan Army to specifically teach the skills and tactics to take down insurgents with as little “collateral damage” as the US military likes to say. Christian is a member of the SAS, one of the foremost elite special forces in the world. Members of that cadre are chosen for their intelligence, their daring, not just their physical attributes. Christian didn’t just wade into the situation. He went to the site. Identified himself to the Kenyan forces and volunteered to assist them in an area he is an expert in. Kenya could have asked him to stand down. They did not. He did everything the SAS are trained to. He helped the Kenyan forces where he could, he went solo when it proved necessary. He did what he did to save both fellow soldiers and hostages. The ethos of the SAS is “Who Dares Wins”. If he genuinely believed his presence would have made things worse, no doubt Christian would not have offered his assistance. Let us not forget, these civil service oiks waited to cast their aspersions on him when the spotlight had left him. That in itself shows how honest and justified their concerns were. Any soldier in the SAS on the ground when some horrific situation like this occurs would do their utmost to stem the loss of life and neutralise the threat. They would assess the situation. Make a plan. Then move to carry it out as efficiently and professionally as they could. The Kenyan forces were just as brave and acted just as professionally, but I am willing to bet they were grateful for his offer of assistance. I know a lot of the civilians on the ground were. However, instead of offering assistance and assurance to an allied power, senior civil service mandarins were prepared to let people die because if Christian were seen to make a mistake, they might look bad. There is always the chance people will die. It’s conflict. However. Christian wasn’t just any random soldier. He was an SAS operative who made the correct choice to help prevent the deaths of fellow service members and civilians by offering his expert assistance. If Christian had had his choice, no journalists would’ve known he was there. He was just doing his job, he would say. These are the same type of idiots who tried to prevent the creation of the Victoria Cross because it recognised personal valour. Somehow, these brainletes thought it would encourage our trained soldiers to suddenly disregard their training and wander off seeking personal glory. Thankfully, history has proved those morons wrong. Again, I hope this put across the information you wanted. If my words are somewhat energetic, it’s because I’m tired of seeing genuine heroes being crapped on from a great height because the complainant is a coward who doesn’t understand what heroism is. Have a great day.

@@bonaggy What a fantastic reply. I appreciate the time you took to write that even if, as you say, it was somewhat rushed. However, personally, I fully support the initiative he took on that day and after seeing the interview Christian gave to Shawn Ryan I was even more impressed.

@@StimParavane Thank you for your reply. Have a great day.

@@bonaggy Pen pushers AGAIN they have no clue do they.

When did he say he was shot in the arm in the pathfinders?

@@Complexactivities Watch the interview he did on "The Black Rifle Coffee Company" podcast, around the 1 hour mark.

@@nicksykes4575 he doesn’t see he was shot in the pathfinders. He could’ve been shot in the SAS.

😂 That was a crowded table on the podcast!

that wasnt all he had..dont forget he also took his set of bagpipes lol

Paddy Mayne was one of Davis Sterling's originals when he formed the SAS in WW2. Mayne was legendary

​@@andywatkins6796 definitely paddy mayne, he went through all he went through in all the crazy situations and ended up dying in a car crash, the bravest man never to have been awarded the Victoria Cross, proper legend

I dont know where you acquired that notion it's incorrect SAS /SBS operators need to be in the shadows unknown in case of reprisal this was carried from its days in the Northern island troubles in the 60s they dont want hero's showing pats in the back thank you for your service nonance

He's out in the States now, applying for US citizenship. Because he understands that America knows how to treat it's military, unlike here in the UK.

​@@johndillon5290US soldiers aren't treated that well

That's nonsense.

He retired because he was didn't like the culture change that was being implemented! U know the woke culture that hates warriors!

He moved to the states 33 years ago he also got a MBE, but he was stopped by the army from having his book published.

Journalists need to be arrested giving out information like that... social media can be very dangerous without some control

@@janolafulyou popped years, I think you meant months 👍🏻

Thanks Caroline i got it. Once i get home i will have a chance to pull the link up

When the SAS originals were raiding German airfields in Africa with thier heavily armed land-rovers. Paddy Mayne would dismount, head into the pilots quarters before they realised what was happening and machine gun them. It was somewhat controversial, but, no point replacing the planes if there are no pilots to fly them.

@@daniellewis4226 the SAS destroyed more German aeroplanes Africa than the RAF

Not yet but its been highly recommend

There have been a few cases where SF have acted without authority. If its successful the military and Govt turn a blind eye. If it were to fail, then deniability and blame will follow.
