This Green Beret Went On A One Man Rampage REACTION  

My Father Sargent Major Tom Courtney Courtney, served as a Green Beret in Vietnam 1964. He did three combat tours in Vietnam. Also was wounded at the age of 17 1951 in Korea. He is 89 now and one of the last surviving Green Berets that marched beside President John F Kennedy Kennedys casket in the funeral casson.

He is Yaqui. Apache💥 Aiiieeeeeee🏆 Yaqui won’t quit. Add the training of The Green Beret, and this is what you will get.

My buddy got to meet him at a local rodeo. Pull up some of interviews he was pretty funny. One story that stood out mainly by the way he told it, was he was the only guy that could speak German with a Texas accent.

His code name Tango Mike Mike stood for That Mean Mexican. It's now a rally cry for Green Berets

There were a bunch of angry veterans in Texas this week because they are renaming fort hood (named for someone from confederacy) and they chose some officer over Benavidez

Several errors in the story: 3 enemy bodies he loaded up he didn't know we're enemies he thought they were the local fighters with the forces And he spit in the doctor's face when the doctor was zipping up his body bag assuming he was dead and he could not speak so all he could do was spit to get his attention and it worked

This guy makes Rambo look like a wimp

Benavidez' story is amazing. Loved his book

His like great nephew was in basic with me dude was a beast as well, I guess it runs in the family

Roy call sign in Vietnam was legendary .Tango mike mike. That mean Mexican

Roy Benavides spoke at the end of one of these videos, and he was saying that when he finally got on that helicopter he was holding his own intestines

The number of US special forces that have been hospitalized and told they weren't going to serve again, then rehabedand redeployed is insane. There's a lot! 🇺🇸❤

Pure Texas Badass! Love, honor and respect to my fellow Texan!!!

Should watch his Medal of Honor recipient vid where he talks about what he’s done and being a patriot

The things the men of MACV SOG did make you question how the hell we could be the same species. John Plaster and John Stryker Meyer have arguably written the definitive books on SOG but Lynn Black and many others have great ones as well.

I was beside Ft. Bragg at Pope AFB those were some wild SOB’s in the 82nd we were thrown out of every bar in Fayetteville 😆

Should listen to Roy's whole speach , its really good.

37 bullet, shrapnel,bayonet wounds, guys coming out of his stomach, eyes closed from blood dried, and a broken jaw. Still with all that, kept bringing out soldiers, still fighting and killing the enemy, brought out dead enemy, and loaded everyone, on the chopper. With all those open, bleeding wounds, and intestines coming out...

Militarily we kicked ass in Vietnam but politically we got our ass handed to us.... Damned politicians

Yep, you guys reacted to an animation of his story. I will never get tired of hearing his story.

One story that I would recommend is "The Incredibly Stupid One", an untrained sailor who used his talents to save his fellow prisoners.

Rambo was based off this guy's story. Great man!

We've done a lot to improve our care for vets in America in recent years and I'm glad for it. I'm not saying it's enough or ever will be, but I'm glad things aren't quite the same as they were in the past. They paid a price we cannot repay, but we can at least do our best to improve their lives now.

You would do well to watch more about MACV-SOG. Very genuinely and positively the most outrageous feats of combat possibly ever. What those men did flat out defies belief. How they’re not more well known by now is beyond me

Popo medic again 10000x better than the infographics video. Still respect to them for making a video on Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez

Type in: "MSG Roy Benavidez speech 1991" (listen to the story first-hand)!!! Roy Benavidez would hate this video. The narrator has put too much of his OWN mindset SPIN on the story. He has put in pauses and cut the story up in a way he thinks is "cool." It sounds like a high school student going over-the-top trying to give a book report about a really cool movie adaption he saw. I STRONGLY recommend you hear the story told by Roy Benavidez himself (the story is good enough just the way it is, it doesn't need any "help" or dramatic imagery). Listen to the story told by the man himself. It is 15 minutes (20min. if you watch the 5 min. Medal Of Honor presentation too). He was there, he knows 100% what happened on that day, and Roy tells it in a VERY easy-to-understand yet COMPELLING way. And Roy Benavidez never felt sorry for himself or thought of himself as a victim. The added anti-war protests, negative military stereotypes, etc. added at the end of the video would have pissed MSG Benavidez off. Roy re-enlisted, he fought his way to get back into the fight. He worked very hard to be there in Vietnam (time and time again). People have the right to be "anti-war". But adding it to this Medal of Honor recipient's video does not fit the situation. In 1991, Roy was still very proud of the Army and proud of his fellow Green Berets and the work Roy did with them. Watch: "MSG Roy Benavidez speech 1991"

This one is WAY better than the other one you watched on him.

The ending was hard to watch, heartbreaking.

For your own potential interests in all forms of special forces warfare You 3 guys should listen to Shawn Ryan's podcast if you all need things to keep your work day moving quicker. Shawn Ryan is a former US special forces guy that went into the CIA but now he's got a really good podcast focusing on all things special forces. While he's pretty much just had US / Canada guys on, he's branching out in popularity and I'm sure he'll get to interviewing more operators from different allied countries. The interviews are very in depth on all things warfare and more importantly you get to hear all these ultimate warfighters share their most intimate experiences of sadness, remorse, and how they've moved on from the things they've dealt with

I got to meet his son, who was a major or colonel at the time I met him at Winder TMC on Ft. Benning, Georgia. I was there getting a chest x-ray for potential broken ribs from the Eagle Tower 😂😂

Microdosing mushrooms is taking off for that reason. It really really helps.

As great as this story was, you should read "Alone at Dawn."

this one was heavy! Mr. Benavidez is a true Warrior. Also fuck the Hippies!

Great video as always! Another persons story to react to would be Nick Lavery's. Green Beret who lost his leg in Afghanistan, would recover and continue to serve. Really inspiring story!

Hello from north Texas y'all. Thanks for a new reaction! Have a fabulous weekend.

Thank you Guys ❤

Roy is just built different. Many many people, would drop to the floor and simply give up to 1 gunshot. I couldn't imagine multiple and grenade fragments

Popo Medic is great. Love his videos

This story sounds like Dirty Johnny’s Uncle Terry!

Incredible.

My dad had a friend who came home from vietnam and some liberal spit on him. They beat the crap out of the guy lol

As soon as I saw the title of this video, I thought that you had already reacted to Sergeant Benavidez on a cartoon version of the story. I guess I was right.

All gave some and some gave All😭😭😢 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Above and beyond❤ incredible bravery, fortitude, determination and love of his country, and his brothers in arms and defending our right to stay free and keep us all safe and enjoying the privileges that we do to this day! Honorable and faithful to the end… I can’t even come up with all the words because there are no words great enough to honor this true soldier 🙏🏻. These Veterans, all of them.. Without your service, this country would be nothing. 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Proud to be an American!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Since little kids,we are told its a Honor to die in combat protection our families.Touch them first! coup,Crying is a form of cowardice,as in take the pain.Ive seen friends who broke their arm and didnt cry,because,Elders say,as they were being hunted,the enemy couldn't locate you.Take the pain!

I meet this man he didn't go on rampage look at his speech

Also watch the True story movies, lone Survivor, hacksaw Ridge, Once we were Soldiers, Blackhawk Down. They are True stories, and have CMH winners. I met him once in the early 90s, when I was stationed at Bragg! U would never know it to look at him, very average sized guy. But what he did, after being wounded in Korea, then almost mortally wounded in Vietnam, then going back, is nothing short of God Jesus and the Holy Spirit, here on earth!

idk why I imagine the office blokes work at like Dunder Mifflin....

Green Berets are built different. You guys should do a video on Nick lavery he was a green Beret as well his story is similar but he ended up losing his leg and getting back in the fight with a prosthetic.

100 men begin the testing to earn a green beret. However, only 3 earn it. My uncle was a green beret and someone else I know from my church. Make no mistake, the training they went through, was the most intensive traning any man could go through. It's not something you think will be easy.

You'd think the video maker would take a small bit of time to get the facts right on some of history---Korean War started while Truman was President and lasted through the last 2 years of his administration ending in cease fire in July 1953, only 6 months into Eisenhower's first term. The Korean War was not "and effort launched by then President Eisenhower."

unrelated question - how come you guys are from up north but you're not into Rugby League? You should have seen the Broncos v Dolphins here in Brisbane last night. Epic stuff!

You guys should react to Nick Lavery story the one leg green beret

Roy Benavidez is Him

I wonder how the war would have turn out if their wasnt a draft or we had actually won?? Reguardless how I feel abt the war anybody that serve including my dad deserves all the help and stability they can get

You guys should really check out the The Fat Electrian.

In fact Dave go back on your new music channel and cover the song WAR PIGS by Black Sabbath...so many songs back then about the war and craziness going on. They new back that what was really going on...those long haired hippies ,were high half the time making incredible songs with very poignant lyrics...

You should react to the invincible soldier who wouldn’t die by simple history

On the channel Today I Found Out, please react to the video "the soldier who continued fighting in ww2 29 years after it ended"

Ik it was said in jest, but noone can beat Chuck Norris, im js.

Blame them freakin' hippies for the suffering of the vets, I'd say. Period

Reupload?

what amazing man, sadly we treat those vet so badly and it is not much better currently.

I think voice over work takes a certain talent. This guys speech pattern just doesn't lend to easy listening.

That music is distracting.

What! How does he remotely look Korean? He’s Hispanic.

200-250k Vietnamese killed

Don't you guys in Britain say it like one of them things girls wear in their hair, you know one them clipy things. One of the very few places we Americans side with the French.... Sorry .... I almost puked in my mouth a little

9:24 "AKA: human instinct. Carefully curated into our DNA through centuries of death and violence. -Benavitez had the blood of-" Narrator just had to go cringe and overdramatize something that doesn't need to be overdramatized. 🙄

romanticizing murder for morale is cringe

you guys already reacted to this topic ...so many good topics yet you blokes either find the boring ones or repeat past topics.... you guys need a dedicated office bloke whos role is to find actual interesting videos to react to ... whoever picks the videos needs to be fired ASAP!!

Sadly I lost my Grandpa in Vietnam🥲
