9:28 My friend is biracial, adopted by a Caucasian couple. When classmates picked on her in first grade, she said, "My parents picked me. Your's just got stuck with you. " 😂😂😂

At the EXACT same time that Bud was disabling the guns, nearby was another pair of Rangers who had found the ammo dump for those guns and proceeded to blow that up as well. So not only did those guns get destroyed but the ammo that could have potentially been taken away and be used somewhere else was destroyed.

Rangers go in to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and they're all out of bubblegum.

For this time period it was probably very likely that his “sister” screwed up, had him out of wedlock and his “parents” adopted him. That would make her reaction a lot more understandable.

I can say from personal experience that even a punk kid with issues can turn out to be a halfway-decent person.  Though I wouldn't have been able to do that without a LOT of support from my mother.  And some decent role models to give me a goal to work towards (I was lucky enough to find a few on the level of the LTC in charge of the 2nd Ranger Battalion).  Then it was a matter of climbing out of the pit I'd dug for myself.

Good fathers give boys a standard to work towards.  Good mothers make sure they have what they need to get up there.  Without both, you have problems.  It sounds like Ember will make a good mom if/when she's ready.  Though she's going to need to make sure any kids have a good dad.  And I wish any man in that role luck, since he's going to need to be a REALLY good role model for those kids.  Especially given how much support Ember will give those kids...

The Rangers and Delta force worked together in 1993 when Black hawk down occured.

Sergeant Leonard “Bud” Lomell and Colonel Jim Rudder are the men who made the Rangers who they are today!

RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

One of my grandfather’s friends and battle buddies was heavily involved in the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest, where his unit was shot to pieces. They were pulled off the line and sent to a quiet sector of the front, which was right in front of the German Army launching the Battle of the Bulge.

Lomell to his CO: "Did we just become best friends?!"

His CO: "YEP!"

1:02:29 "They have a Blue base there because we have a Red base here. And the reason we have a Red base here because they have a Blue base there."

The U.S in ww2 was pretty much, Florida man in the 2000s

34:40 Huh. Wonder if the guy who suggested the fire truck ladder was a firefighter himself.

Heroes are not born. They are built. And often times a deciding factor is a good mother. Here's to you, Momma Lomel. o7

I actually know about this hero!  I read the book about what he and his brother Rangers did on D-Day!  That’s a true leader of men!

Just wanna drop this here for someone that said the WW2 Rangers were precursors to MACV-SOG there wasn't really. MACV-SOG was more of a precursor to JSOC as SOG was taking men from all branches (SEALs, Green Berets, some Rangers of the 75th Infantry at the time, LRRP guys, Force Recon Marines, and Air Force PJs and CCTs) of the military and stuck them into one single command structure to conduct black operations in Cambodia and Laos similar to what JSOC is nowadays.

Had to go look through your vids before coming back, but there's another one that's similar to this, only a lot more bittersweet, that's about 22 guys that basically stopped the Germans from winning the Battle of the Bulge, it's called 22 vs. 500 - America's Defiant Stand at Lanzerath Ridge  by TFE. Worth a watch, I promise.

37:00 Oh shit they got the Grim Yeeter involved, them Nazis are fucked!

Im 1 of 9 biological siblings between like 6 families,  mom had a lotta kids, and a lotta relationships that didnt work out,  im on good terms with both moms after losing both dads . Being adopted has never meant all that much to me when i saw the heartmy parents had for me.

@47:16 No. they didn’t “fail successfully” because they did succeed in landing and getting up the cliff it’s just the location of the guns was different and they were successful in neutralizing both the underground base and all 6 guns. They just had to adapt their objectives to new parameters. No objectives were failed so this is not a “failure” in any way. It’s like you’ve been saying: adapt and overcome. They adapt to new issues as they encountered them and did what they were sent to do.

So I believe in terms of American miliary, there are three tiers of bad ass. Tier three is regular troops, so if you're in the Navy, you're just a sailor, aside from your MOS which is basically your job, if you're a Marine, that's it, you're a Marine, Army is just regular Army. Tier 2 is slightly more specialized, and these would include groups like the Army Rangers or Navy SEALs, they're better funded and often are trusted to handle more difficult tasks. Then you have Tier 1 operators, these would be your spooky guys, Devgru, SEAL Team 6, Delta, Green Berets. These teams are much smaller, highly specialized, they basically get a blank check, and they are the people Uncle Sam calls up when failure is absolutely not an option.
