SEAL Team 6 & the Al-Ghayil Operation | January 2017 

Appreciate the intel, Sir. Just goes even further, in detail, to prove that soldiers and operators are not necessarily heroes, despite (for the majority of them, at least at present, while the sharp tip of the spear is being reconfigured into a gender-weird self-hatred that drives away patriots, and invites even more murderous perverts), their mostly undoubted valor. Following orders and executing objectives is their main mission, but when, as is all too often, even almost always the case, they are used unwisely as expensively and easily expended pawns, it is often a waste. "Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." But when it's not blunder, but nasty murder? When they are used as agents of murder against noncombatants, especially children, it is an unblottable sin. When they are employed thusly, it demeans their oaths, and casts not only doubt and discouragement among their own ranks, and the civil populace that supports them, but on the whole business. Would it be such a shame, if the cashiered cadres who sensibly refused the C-19 shots, regrouped, trained auxiliaries, and deprived the current masters who so degrade us all, of their commands? Hypothetically, of course.

No shit 😂

All Qops are Peaceful

"Civilians" is what they are called by the enemy after the action, another name would be illegal enemy combatants or child soldiers. In reality they were all fighting on the behalf of AQAP and were valid military targets.

​@@DickCheneyXX killing innocent children

@@DickCheneyXX Typical Yanky response.

@@magnacarta9364 Typical and correct.

Yeah it's good to see it objectively covered. Including the coverage of the murdering of a child, you know they had night vision, they just didn't want the boy to tip anyone off. Self preservation, even if it means killing a child. Not to mention the rest of the village.

Sounds like a similar dilemma with Operation Redwing when they ran into the village man.

@@jinniu Is that what we call war crimes nowadays? “Self preservation”? It’s straight up disgusting to see how the USA commits war crime after war crime, invades country after country, yet everything has some sort of excuse and suckers like you will do everything to defend it.

Sucesses??

@@cigscwb they mean the channel in general, covering both successful and unsuccessful operations

It’s free real estate!

Their should be many more from early to mid GWOT coming out soon too

Start with the operation where the US blew up the nordstream pipeline

We might not even need a few years. With how many people were involved with the early parts of the war, and how much footage there is, people have already been piecing together early battles and engagements. I wouldn't be surprised if they could put together an episode on the war already.

As long as the irrefutable evidence exists, he will cover it! Just hope it ends soon so we can be done with this war BS

Yeah...

Operations were being conducted before this raid as well, so all locals and terrorist in the whole region knew there was a American presence before the raid. So they the terrorist were already on edge.....

With very little bread....

Yeah you missed the point shooting unarmed children cannot be excused with it was just a bad situation these DEVGRU monsters should be locked up

Yeah…it seemed like a clusterfu- from the get-go!

Likely terrorists lol, tell that to 11 year old Ahmed with the bullet in his chest. You guys are DEFINETLY terrorists.

Just denying the enemy future recruits. > Seals, probably.

They just took out the trash before it started to stink.

We, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, try our damndest to avoid civilian casualties, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN!!! That being said, however, IF THAT CHILD OR, CHILDREN take up arms, they WILL GET DISPATCHED WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!!!

Most of the time civilians are just numbers on a paper that contribute towards a statistic

Agreed, admitting fuckups is part of the process, glad he acknowledged that instead of lying about everything

Yep this totally gave me a big boost in confidence. MERICA BABY.

Civilian casualties do not matter when it happens to the enemys civilians.

If the troops would know about the politics and greed behind many operations, many would decline.

AQAP is a persistent threat to Americans around the world. Its been behind numerous plots to kill Americans such as: 1. 2009 Christmas Day "Underwear Bomber": In December 2009, AQAP attempted to carry out a terrorist attack on US soil when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian national, tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear aboard a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. The attack was ultimately unsuccessful due to the device's malfunction, but it highlighted AQAP's ambition to target American interests directly. 2. 2010 Cargo Plane Bomb Plot: AQAP was also responsible for the October 2010 plot to send parcel bombs hidden in printer cartridges to the US aboard cargo planes. The plot was foiled after intelligence agencies intercepted the packages in the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. This incident illustrated AQAP's continued pursuit of innovative and sophisticated tactics to attack the US. 3. 2015 Charlie Hebdo Attack: While not directly targeting the US, AQAP claimed responsibility for the January 2015 attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The attack, which killed 12 people and injured several others, was carried out by two brothers who were reportedly trained by AQAP in Yemen. This incident demonstrated AQAP's ability to inspire and train individuals to carry out attacks in Western countries, thereby posing an indirect threat to the US. 4. Inspire Magazine: AQAP has published an English-language online magazine called Inspire, which provides guidance on how to conduct attacks against the US and its allies. The magazine has included instructions for making explosives, as well as suggestions for potential targets. By disseminating this information, AQAP aims to inspire homegrown terrorists who may not have direct ties to the organization but share its extremist ideology. 5. Online radicalization: AQAP has also used social media and other online platforms to disseminate propaganda and recruit followers. The group has called for "lone-wolf" attacks by individuals who may be radicalized online, making it difficult for law enforcement to predict and prevent such incidents. The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, carried out by two brothers who were reportedly inspired by AQAP's online content, is an example of the potential impact of online radicalization. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has provided AQAP with a safe haven to regroup, plan, and launch attacks. The group has been able to exploit the chaos in Yemen to establish a stronghold in the country, from which it can train fighters, stockpile weapons, and potentially plot attacks against the US and its allies. The affiliation with al-Qaeda provides AQAP with access to resources, expertise, and a broader network of like-minded individuals and organizations, enhancing its capabilities and threat level. I don't know what you're smoking, but AQAP is most definitely a threat to the United States and Americans regardless of where they are in the world. Better to deal with the problem over there than bring it over here, which would only lead to an even greater loss of civil liberties and freedoms.

@@VikingTeddy US troops aren't going to decline missions to kill jihadists. They may not agree with the overall strategy, but they do believe they're morally right (and they are).

@@michaelporter1924 It's about proportion with AQAP. It should stay as CIA/Specops territory, and then only when it involves the U.S. Regular military shouldn't be involved. And as for declining. I meant the ops that *aren't* morally justified and of which we hear only years later (if we're lucky). Of course no soldier is going to refuse legal orders, even if they feel it's morally hazy, it's their job. For example the couple of operations which were done solely on the request of Halliburton. Or if we go further back, the shit the U.S did in south America. You know, shady shit with the goal of making someone richer.

Exactly

Yeah I feel the same way, only someone with an evil streak like Spicer could craft that line

Yet everyone else is bashing other presidents for messing up worse

Sounds about right for that administration.

@@andrewallason4530the operation being called off or not isn’t something the president can decide unless he is directly supervising the operation

This has 45's fingerprints all over it. Ultimately he continued to give the green light hoping for his own Obama-style "we got B¡n-L@den" headlines. His administration then covered the mess-up up.

Politicritters doing their thing.

​@@andrewallason4530 Orange Man bad

Oikophobic rage-porn addicts like yourself prove that Spicer was right to say that.

Let's not forget the lives of the innocents. As a father, no?

@@julian2626 Actually I would argue strongly that it would not have mattered who was involved or even how highly trained and motivated or how new and high tech their tools were, NO, the complete reason that from day 1 it was going always end in a clusterfuck is found in the over confidence of everyone in the planning and concept of this operation, its visable that everyone put a tiny all good spin on it leading to a Russian style op. I focus very heavily on the admission that their Intel was totally wrong which forced the panws to use the wrong tactics, the wrong force configure on and on to the final CF. It's not the first time that lazy officers have dismissed or ignored flags that endup like this. Unfortunately it won't be the last

“When those groups embed themselves” They live there. That’s their home.

what service was that? shooting at civilians including an 11-year-old

@@codyhearne932 "Thank you Owens for protecting our Freedom. Because surely those Sheep Herders have other sorrows than trying to get anywhere near the US"

They were using Marine Corps MV-22 Ospreys, not CMV-22s. CMV-22s were not adopted by the Navy until 2021. Also, CV-22s are Air Force Special Operations, not special forces.

This is the hypocrisy of American politics.

@@gengiz literally watching a senator, question someone from the ATF, about lying on a form. The person reply and said that the time in jail has changed and he said the amount of time in prison 15 years! Then the senator asked, how come Hunter Biden has yet to be arrested! Then all hell broke out! Senator said, “ok, I understand why everyone doesn't want you to answer that question” “because we live in a double standard America”!

We killed a lot if evil terrorists and only one life was lost so or was a great success and no innocent life was lost

They managed to keep the fuck ups to a minimum at each stage of the fuck up.

​@@robertsears8323 The 22 civilians were literally innocent. We lost an aircraft and had one of our own killed, all that for 14 terrorists? That isn't a win.

@@isaiah1975 You didn't detect my subtle sarcasm I see.

I guess they’re referring to the objectives being achieved.

Could've been the Emirati commandos. Even if it wasn't, the actions of one do not speak for 330 million others.

Interesting how you have nothing harsh to say about the jihadists who put that 11-year old boy in the line of fire.

​@Jake-rs9nq why does the western world treat the rest of the world with the same rule though? Why do Americans generalise traits about others when maybe a small percentage exhibit such traits?

That's something that they don't talk about in the States. It's a tabu topic. Just like covering up the real "Operation Lone Survivor". 🤡

If the drones saw the villagers prepping to defend....why go ahead in the first place? This is basic stuff that the general in charge should have known about....yet he only "issues an apology" after 1 of his men and 25+ civvies are dead?

​@@Chilly_Billy psycho

​@@catlee8064 nah you're right. The senior commander in charge of this mission made boneheaded decision after boneheaded decision. I don't think landing 8 km away from the LZ was that bad, but the decision to go on ahead with the mission, despite the villagers fortifying their position was a bad call.

​@@Chilly_Billy you were there? Killing a kid is pretty messed up.
