I see LADbible is continuing to platform a far right Tommy Robinson supporter....

Thank you Phil for your honesty and your service you are a grate man

Wind your neck in you can only dream of been half the man Phil is your a cockroach he's a British legend​@@CKNZ161

You had me in tears with laughter, same type of humour as my dad, ex 21 Artist😊

@@marksadler4104 artist, so you mean your skint?

well he explained being indifferent and disagreed about it being indifference... I'll forgive him though.

How do you feel about the government and their lies ?

@@user-je9gs7we1qwhen watching videos like this I try where possible to separate the overall political bulls**t from the personal human experiences being described. But yeah the government has a lot of blood on its hands

I have the utmost respect for our forces personnel

@@chrishopkins3316 How do you know..... I mean actually know. Not what you have got from a media which will spin anything to get more exposure. But what you actually KNOW.. I think your just another keyboard warrior.

Is this operation Barras? I’m trying to look up SAS in Sierra Leone but I can’t find much. Thanks

@@Godsfavouriteidiot_ I think so! There’s a book - operation certain d3ath by Damien Lewis. I haven’t read it but it might be an interesting read!

If you depend on foreign military assistance to defend your country, are you really an independent state?

@@SuperKonjac All due respect, that's not the best determination. France needed military assistance during WW2, as did the UK. Ukraine currently needs it, as have countless countries throughout history. There will always be a 'world's strongest military', and to apply your categorization to that would imply that there can only be one or two independent states existing at any one time in history.

@@SuperKonjac Gonna assume you're 'Murican - Apologies if not. But you might realize that France is the reason we're even a nation at the moment?

"Anyone ......dumb enough , to want to join the military - should be allowed in " (BILL HICKS .)

"Hot is the moment when you dispatch your adversary, cold is the afterthought." - Miyamoto Musashi, Dokko, The Way of Aloneness.

@@LookHereMars Good quote, a rare one IMO as I haven't seen it on YT until now.

@@shawnmendrek3544 Dokko, The Way of Aloneness is a short but great book with some keen philosophy, but is often overlooked by Mushashi's more famous work The Book of Five Rings where most people, who quote his work, draw from.

I want Phil as Prime Minister. My god, he would run this country properly.

It's to be expected with ex-special forces, people always want to know the silly stuff. They do get better as the video goes on

People with no exposure to military people often don’t realise the problem with asking such questions. I’m a civvy but have worked in defence for 10 years, so a lot of my work friends are Majors, Lt Cols and SSgts. Went to a leaving do once where people brought their partners. Well, within one hour of being there, my wife had already asked someone if they’ve ever killed someone 😒.

​@@him050that's rough bud. Nothing you can do.

all the questions were relatively good to know and telling. whats the difference between a soldier thats killed 1 vs one thats killed 20+? what about one that hasnt had any buddies die? some people want to know cause it might be a reflection on them.

These are questions that a civvy might put little thought into yet when talking to a soldier feel are perfectly acceptable. They are pretty typical and very well answered by the veteran.

Im getting village people vibes off him for some reason

and hed never dare show his face in ireland

@@conorhaddock3956Nobody would bother to go there to be fair

Grow up

​@@union310 Lmao what

There are several other interviews with him on UKposts. His time as a private military contractor had some interesting events and cool stories too. I won't ruin it for you but he has a hilarious story about fighting Somali pirates whilst being unarmed. Well worth checking out. 🇬🇧🤝🏻🇺🇲

He has a podcast on UKposts as well called Force Radio. Tends to interview ex sas and paras mainly but I know he had a lad from Delta on the other day. It is quite good tbh. Some of the lads he has on just bring the same energy as him which are usually quite funny

MUCH respect and cudos to the AIR FORCE!

Thank you for your service ❤

I believe he had a really tough start in life too. He didn’t turn to crime. He seems a great bloke.

@@antoniopodesta8738 Some of the things SAS do are definitely crimes

I could not agree more! In Parabats as a youngster. In Security now. Almost derailed due to my mental struggles. He seems to sum up all of my experiences and give the answers that you know are sane, balanced, and credible. Working with the youth who want to join - cannot think of anyone better.

make rich richer and make poor poorer

​@@antoniopodesta8738i had a really tough start in life, didn't turn to crime and got banned from joining the army by my grandad who's dad died in WW2 here's to hoping being given a weapon in WW3

👍

yeah he's an imperialist scumbag. Not a hero, another pawn.

I can't imagine even surviving half the crap that Phil must have been through ( physically or mentally ). He has my total respect. I love his self effacing sense of humour and his candidness. What an interesting few hours you'd have in the pub with this guy.

@@folkme3042 I had the privilege of serving with him he’s a true gent and a guy you would want by your side 👍

He’s one of the most honest guys you could ever meet thank goodness I had him when I was a young guy serving true hero 👍👍

I think he’s more than capable of protecting himself.

Nobody can protect themselves from hooligan army

He's the one protecting everything else people say this about

im the same with Stan W Scott ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rXR4fIGweWmFwIk.html&ab_channel=NationalArmyMuseumUK

Stories yes

​@@union310Are you insinuating that he's lying about some or all of his answers?

@@JDog88 Read what I said! They agree not to talk about what they seen yet they can't wait to talk about it. McNab wrote a book and then a colleague went and spoke to the villagers and goat herder made a documentary put it on here and proved it was lies, do your research. They would have you believe the Embassy siege was a storming success , yet they let a terrorist march down the stairs with a hand grenade as he passed and then they let another out into the garden. They also set fire to the building as they entered and nearly burned one of their own. In the Falklands they shot and killed two of the SBS because they the sas didn't declare their location and they panicked. Then they managed to lose a helicopter and kill 23 people because of their arrogance. I unlike you don't believe a word they say.

@@union310 Wow. Just wow.

@@iHatePolitics Factual, what is your issue?

I smell poopy….

Totally relatable.🫣

I too was 9 years old watching John McAleese placing the window charge and after blowing the window watching them go in. An Iconic scene and watching Sim Harris the BBC guy climbing out and then being told to go back in was just so unreal.

Thank you for your repair work service.

He is a blagger. When i read his book, there are some incidents he refers to that I know for a fact did not happen. And don't get me started on his claimed fridge throwing. And his staged boat trip across the channel, with his goons.

Everyone likes to make their book a bit more exciting. Truth is he’s seen shit that’d curl your toes and make the average bloke shit themselves and run the other way. I tend not to call these blokes heroes cause end of day they’re ruthless fkers that have done some dark isht- in places we shouldn’t have been in the first place. But there’s no denying the shear insanity he’s lived through.

Mate hes literally covered in flags lol

​@@dadistos4538and has literally wrote a book 😂 was a good read though tbf

"not covering himself in the flag".... hahaha

hes wearing a shirt covered in flags and old blokes written 4 books, i believe what your trying to say is hes not the navy seal type of coming out arrogant and like every must treat him as a god

@@jackdanielsization I think this is one of those things that media gets wrong. I have a cousin who is in the special forces and he might be the nicest and most humble person I know (Just like the fella in the video) I'd guess from meeting his crew that they're mostly like that. For some reason, though, the only ones I've seen interviewed are arrogant jerks.

or much more important, you need to be lucky

Yea the People that went crazy did suïcide or are in a mental facility or are homeless. There are loads of soldiers Who are messed up after deployment.

So are you saying it’s potluck that my Grandad or uncle died of dementia then? I guess it is pot luck in this world. You can’t just suggest people live into their 90s and are of sound mind because they have the right mentality. My family has suffered some of the worst luck and pain imaginable and lots of family had good jobs, strong; kind whatever you want to call it

@@aryastark772 No, that's literally not what he suggested. You really have to go out of your way to become offended by that comment.

If you were smart you wouldn't be happy spending your life as a tool of global oppression.

Same, mate. Phil is a legend. COYR.

hes from southampton? knew i liked him

Spot on mate.

I hope you enjoyed Cape Town 😉 Yeah, even 40 years after our little show I could pick up the phone and ask for help from most of my old colleagues. One or two rose up the ranks to very senior positions and oddly enough those are the ones you can’t rely on

Thank you both for your service

​@michaelsrensen2452 Look! A yank who's subverting the subject back to the US! Never seen that in a comment before! ME! ME! ME!

@michaelsrensen2452 Yep. Murdering people to further the interests of the wealthy. Hardly a noble vocation.

Seriously, I guess it makes sense, you have the top of humanity in sports, but in every field there's a top of humanity section. Someone has a federally protected identity that is the LeBron James of soldiers lol.

Although not the same regiment, Pat Mac, ex-delta force soldier has a video talking about "Superstars" in special forces.

It's a question of total number of vacancies rather than relative difficulty.
