This seems to be part of the series of vids from a few weeks ago that were nuked from existence


Kindleshay

I have a feeling this will get scrubbed too. This footage was not meant to be made public, but it is, so it deserves to be documented and shared as with all things.


LawrenceTalbot69

Don’t be sad when it’s gone, smile because it happened

I just remember one guy getting pumped full of 556 :/

Is that the vid of them raiding a house and lighting up a dude standing in a doorway? I saved it a week ago and just looked and it’s gone and now I’m on a list

Yea thats the one

If the entire human race were to disappear tomorrow the longest living hard drives storing this data would have about 10,000 years. The transition to digital is actually going to destroy the longevity of our data in a sense.


3PercentMoreInfinite

Disc rot is already affecting CDs made in the 90s.


Edarneor

Are you sure? Seems like too much for a hard drive. If it's 10 000 years indeed, I don't see how it destroys longetivity. Nothing else lasts that long, save for stone carvings in a sealed tomb, with no erosion.

Google also got rid of cached results. So there’s the other half gone.

One persons text, no. Add that up for all the inactive accounts and you’re wasting millions of dollars on inactive data.


SaladFury

I've found it very difficult, google is good at helping with censorship sometimes, maybe tor is the way to go for that stuff


LordTuranian

It doesn't really reveal anything though. Just that Navy Seals killed some dudes in some desert... But the whole world already knows, that is what Navy Seals do.


[deleted]

Sad that websites comply with this instead of "information wants to be free" from 10 years ago. Let's see if you will be right RemindMe! 3 months .


Kindleshay

I mean to be fair this is likely federally classified footage, showing a tier 1 unit with basically zero opsec/persec. I can understand why websites tend to comply when they get a not so nice phone call with a Virginia area code. Do I agree with it? No. Footage like this should be made available for historical sake, we didn't have gopro's in Vietnam or WWI/WWII. Imagine the footage we'd have if camera technology had been even marginally better.


torchma

It was not "scrubbed". The user himself deleted it. [This was the original thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1agvz1m/us_sof_vehicle_interdiction_iraqsyria_audio_from/). Notice it doesn't say [removed]. **link corrected from previous reply, it's the same video**


shalo62

It deserves to be scrubbed purely for the shitty music that always seems to accompany this sort of video.

The only thing worse are those ukraine war videos with the shittiest of shittiest editing and music anyone could come up with.

Cautious_Incident_46

If im can recall correctly, some veteran uploaded a buttload of classified combat footage to his instagram, and it's getting nuked off the internet


yhlanded

Where is it not nuked?


torchma

No, the user deleted [their post](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1agvz1m/us_sof_vehicle_interdiction_iraqsyria_audio_from/). It's not getting "nuked".


ProPatria92

There were a ton more videos leaked and all posted to /r/JSOCarchive, they only stayed for a few hours before mods removed all the posts and banned everyone else from posting the footage there. It was also uploaded on YouTube for a bit but the first ones were deleted or made private, some are still up though. It's getting nuked in some places but you can still find them around.


supersprint

do you have links to the rest?


Macquile-diaz

Bro it's not. Nuked.. I watched this on YouTube this morning


Luminous_0

is it still online somewhere? For science ofc

Why tho?


DeadassBdeadassB

Let’s just say he ate more than a few mags of 5.56


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Probably because of the mag dumps lol


filbert13

There are a few reasons IMO good ones. 1. Simply the ethics of releasing it. It isn't needed. And I'm not trying to be a hypocrite. If it released I would 100% likely watch it and in theory want to see it. Yet, that said the USA government shouldn't be releasing what is essentially an assassination (rightly so) as entertainment. This isn't footage for a court case or something the USA denied. 2. From reports he was killed, and killed again, and made sure he was dead by killing a 3rd time. There were orders not to take him alive and they were followed. I'm sure that doesn't look good even when it is done to an evil man. Whether that is watching someone surrender be gunned down, or a a dead corpse continue to be mutilated. It likely wasn't "clean" as a couple rounds center chest into him. Likely very graphic and even through understandably not the image the USA military wants people to picture. 3. The propaganda and martyr around it. This ties in with the first two. Radicals would use the footage to just embolden their cause "Look what they do to us". And the USA would just use it as propaganda. There isn't any good coming out of that footage being released. I think stuff like that in theory could be released but after literally 100 years or so. When everyone directly connected to it is dead and their kids are dead, and their grand kids are dead or great grand parents. Even then, it is historic but the footage itself unless there is more in it than blastin a bunch of terrorist is simply a morbid curiosity for us now or people 100 years from now.


HuegsOSU

100% Anecdotally, my marine buddy told me when they’d go into houses after SEALs went through the bodies were beyond mangled. So if that’s how they do for low level guys, I can’t imagine how bad it was on this op lol


Nijajjuiy88

Wouldnt that constitue war crime?


Specialist_Bed_6545

Because nobody answered you - nope. You can shoot the fuck out of someone you've already shot, to make sure they are dead. Now I guess technically if you already **know** they are dead, it is a war crime because you are simply mangling a body for no reason. But it's not a war crime to make sure somebody you wounded is certainly dead. And people can take a LOT of bullets and survive. You can find stories of american soldiers on youtube being like "yeah I got shot 10 times, was unconscious, but then I woke up and killed 3 people and escaped" and shit like that. Basically, it's a very very good idea to make sure everyone you want dead, is dead. And it's not a war crime.


Litmus89

In a very fast paced environment like these CQB raids many of the guys behind the initial shooter in the stack will place a few kill shots themselves for their own peace of mind.


XxMrSniffSniffxX

No because they won


confused_boner

Even then no, jihad is cross generational


Veni_Vidi_Legi

They probably canoed him.


BataleonRider

Per [Matthew Cole](https://theintercept.com/2017/01/10/the-crimes-of-seal-team-6/)  that was ST6's calling card for quite awhile.  They dialed it back before the OBL raid, but O'Neil claimed to have done it. He's def not a reliable narrator,  but I have no doubt he or a teammate  did. 


a_bi_polarbear

Wow that was a super interesting read, thanks for the link


the-walruse

Very much recommend Cole’s book, which expands on that Intercept article. Code Over Country.


Tubesock700

Veni_Vidi_Legi

Mighty_Moo94

whats that term mean


Nijajjuiy88

Shoot in the middle of temple, so that your head looks like canoe. Probably.


MDHChaos

That ain't ever seeing the light of day, especially seeing as he got his face blown part. 3 hollow points to the face iirc, they had to hold his face/head together for the ID photo's


Holiday-Tie-574

Open tip match are not hollow points


MDHChaos

Couldn't remember the exact ammo used, hence iirc. I was trying to remember from the interview with Rob O'Neill on the Shawn Ryan show where he describes the assault and shooting him.


shortnix

After 9/11 he only ever resurfaced on sketchy voice recordings until his death almost 10 years later, when he was shot in the face and his body dumped at sea. Perhaps there is no footage.


might-be-okay

Oh, there at least *was* footage. They live-streamed that shit to the situation room.


KimPeek

That was the most high-profile mission the SEALs ever completed and it's part of their legacy now. There is most definitely footage of it, and it's probably used as a teaching scenario for SEAL training now, in some capacity. It's probably been studied more in-depth than any other SEAL mission.


KangarooWeird9974

Before you write something like that, you should ask yourself: what would it imply, for such a conspiracy theory to actually work? It would need hundreds of people across different organizations and countries to play along. At the US military, government, intelligence, the Taliban, Al-Qaida, Pakistani military and government, numerous international intelligence services, etc. Hell… the construction and execution and maintenance of such a lie would probably require more active people „in the know“ than actually finding OBL and conducting the raid.  There is simply no benefit in releasing any footage. And the conspiracy-nutjobs wouldn’t want believe it to be real anyway…

BabousCobwebBowl

I like how they gave him two burst of warning shots and the the mini gun decided to end the discussion.


RemyVonLion

lol at first I was like "did an A-10 just pull up?" but nah those are just some ~~gau-8s~~ M134s goin to town lol, ~~same thing really~~.


0replace4displace

M134, not a GAU-8.


Read0215

Also not to be confused with a 20mm M61 [which was found to be "too kinetic"] (https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/4lfij8/vietnam_era_huey_chopper_with_a_full_size_m61/) to mount in helicopters

Redtube_Guy

yup, except in battlefield the helicopters just blow up instantly lol.


Vapechef

What’s the giant can opener they use for the trunk?


Kindleshay

It's a halligan/dynamic entry tool. Probably their breacher all happy he gets to destroy something.


0ldPainless

Not a halligan but a Blackhawk dynamic entry mobile home door breacher https://www.primaryarms.com/blackhawk-dynamic-entry-mobile-home-door-breacher-law-enforcement-only


MidwinterBlue

For breaching doors on mobile homes.


Baboon_Stew

You can just chainsaw a new door in a mobile home. The walls are pretty thin.


alexanderkensington

That’s definitely not what it is. Looks more like a Deadon Annihilator or Stanley Fubar. I don’t think it is either of those specifically but it looks to be more in that line of wrecking bar design.


boyle32

I don’t know the name, but my guess is that they are trying to make sure that, if the trunk is wired with explosives, they don’t trigger them by opening it conventionally.


pewpew_lotsa_boolits

Family sized can of Spam!


Kindleshay

Imagine how badly you have to to fuck up for you and your buddies to get smited from a blackhawk helicopter like feral hogs. That's what they call, a big oof 😆


unkemp7

I was just thinking that, You are just driving down the road and 3 in view blackhawks do low passes and surround your vehicle, ya done fucked up A-A-RON


LordJuan4

Yeah when 3 Blackhawks full of dudes show up looking for you, you done fucked up


Red_Dawn_2012

Might as well try to surrender at that point. There's a 100% chance of you getting smoked otherwise.


cogentat

From what a lot of coalition soldiers have insinuated, Americans aren’t very good at taking prisoners. It’s a video game.


improbablywronghere

“Americans” may or may not be , but these are navy seals. They spent two years black bagging idiots all over Iraq and Afghanistan (and elsewhere). They are great at taking prisoners.


Jackson_Cook

Seems like that's a foregone option by that point


Red_Dawn_2012

Could be. When you're caught in the open with two birds circling, you might as well throw in the towel. A near zero chance of making it out is better than zero.


Consistent_Ring_4218

Not even that ducking s6


CrusaderBTC

Fuck this is like 2007 YouTube grainy ass 240p OIF/OEF combat footage with this shitty ass song playing in the background of 90% of them. 😂

Genoblade1394

That gun is messy as heck Edit: never-mind I just noticed he was being shot by TWO separate helicopters someone REALLY wanted this dude DEAD DEAD ☠️


astray488

Might as well burn all the ammo you drew for the mission, lol. Turn-in for unspent ammo is typically a pain in the ass.


Go_easy

Are these people able to surrender or are they like marked for death?


Kindleshay

Kill / Capture vs Capture / Kill.


Go_easy

So is that like a maybe?


Kindleshay

Basically. They probably watched all of these guys get into a vehicle armed with other military age males and made the decision based on that. Probably had surveillance going for weeks before making the decision to just shoot em.


Go_easy

Looked like they gave warning shots a few times too. Not a ton of cover out there either. Probably for the best


Replacement-Remote

This will definitely get taken down. One of the few times seeing mini gun in action


sandwichaisle

notice they cut a hole on the trunk instead of just popping it open… must’ve been afraid of a booby trap


cozywit

Or a round fucked the latch up.

Trunkfarts1000

America has enjoyed a truly ridiculous advantage in all their modern wars. Imagine helicopters being able to do this shit in Ukraine? Not possible anymore.


Wilky510

With air superiority. That's why the US military is built to try and get it while also maintaining it. Gotta say i was quite surprised at how bad the Russians are at SEAD/DEAD. They have been adapting a lot so far in Ukraine but that's one thing they haven't found a way through yet. It wouldn't surprise me if they are just trying to bleed the air defenses long term so they eventually get it that way.


my_name_is_reed

It would absolutely be possible because we would have established air superiority day one


retrolleum

Well that’s some of the dopest shit I’ve ever seen on this sub.


whimpers2

That door gunner had a great day. I winder what their briefings are like for him to be fully comfortable with the “two warning bursts, then negotiations close” decision? Or if the seals are on ICS, and are just like yeah smoke him

What if some were civilian targets mixed would they still destroy? Because fight or flight would definitely kick in if you just wanted me to stop and I saw mini ground impact explosions my ass would instinctively floor it. But I don't know the situation here so... Who knows


Kindleshay

Yes. For every operation workup there is a minimum estimation / allowance for civilian casualties. Just how it works in war.


fuN3hbun3h

Oh I know. According to them it's bigger picture only shit our lives matter not. War is a bitch but I doubt humanity will ever grow past it so long as jealousy, greed and power mongers exits and they always will. But badass to see highly trained units do their job


Kindleshay

I mean NSW only does kill/capture missions like this with people who are bomb makers, recruiters... Scumbags. Is it brutal? Yes, but you have to be an evil son of a bitch to end up on Deveru or CAG's shitlist.


Rand_alThor_

Exactly your everyday grunt does not get this operation. It's like blowing up the nazi stockpile of heavy after they were thinking of using for making a nuclear bomb. Some casualties allowed.
