    Mercs Taking Out People in Yemen

    So this all started with an expose in BuzzFeed 2018. It made a ripple, but no one really cared all that much about Mercs assassinating people in Islamic terrorist infested countries for what ever reason. However, the recent hornets nest stirred up in Yemen, has brought the topic back to the surface, hence this new vid from the BBC. The BBC is far left and supports Hamas, etc, so doing their best to make these mercs sound like random killers, but you get the idea:

    I met one of the "mercs" in question prior to the news article being released. He told some stories and showed the drone footage from his phone, I thought he was full of shit. A few years later....damn, he WAS actually there!

    We also had gringos there with OGAs in various capacities, and our SOF has been in and out of Yemen for years.

    Of course, but these guys were there under the invite and $ of the UAE and given a list of people to remove apparently. So, how they approached is grey area legal it appears. Not officially sanctioned by the US, likely under "don't ask don't tell" level by US. Now they may be in some trouble. Full length:

    I don't know how he's viewed by others from the Unit, but he does not do the quiet professional thing as the others are known for.

    So long as he ain't putting classified shit out there or talking in detail about things that put others in harms way, he's entitled to be proud.

    I don't think I've met a NSW guy in the last 15 years that didn't have his life story tattooed on his body.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    They are just asylum seekers doing jobs the locals won’t… or some other nosense like that.

    Honestly, I just can’t seem to work myself into any kind of frenzy about it.
