But like the one with the Walt...where the cameras probably saved his life. As reckon Billy would have ripped him in half if not for them. If watch close, you see him get bounced off the wall on way out

In any military training scenario, the instructor has every right to ask any candidate /trainee /recruit /whatever any germane question about their performance. Up to and including 'What the Hell is wrong with you?' It all depends on how the instructor phrases it. 'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!' doesn't need an answer. Trying harder and succeeding at the training task is enough. 'Trainee, what the Hell is wrong with you?' given in an authoritative tone requires an answer. 'May I ask what the Hell your problem is?' is tricky. If the tone is sarcastic, a respectful 'Yes, sir!' is sufficient. If the instructor actually means it, you can respectfully refuse to answer. HOWEVER, there are some lines that most veterans just won't cross. Digging into a wartime death is one of them.

It's just part of it. If you're in the military, you won't push anyone to tell you about the death of their loved ones in service no matter how subordinate they are to you. They gave the ultimate sacrifice, it is not to be used as a training or selection tool.

That man's son would be so proud of his dad. Respect.

October 2013 Lance Corporal James Brynin, aged 22, an intelligence Corps soldier attached to 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic warfare), was killed after coming under fire in Nahr-e Saraj. At an inquest into his death being conducted in January 2017, it was formally stated that LCpl Brynin was fatally wounded by a fellow British Army soldier in a 'Blue on Blue' incident. However, the soldier that shot Brynin would not face criminal prosecutions over the incident

Ant had to pick up a blown up torso of an officer from a roof once. Foxy had to drag his dead mate to the extraction point for a kilometer or something.

you can see the pain in both their eyes when they realise what the he said

No parent should have to bury their child.

He has got some balls, the instructors were right about that. However, the reason they pulled him to question him was because they were having a hard time figuring him out. Here was a man in his 40s taking part in SAS selection, he was holding his own and SAS selection takes it out of men in their 20 - 30s, leaving some laid up with serious injuries for months. However, if you listen to any of the commentary during the series, the presenter will tell you that passing "selection"; a lot mental strength is required as well being extremely fit. So this contestant who had lost his son in Afghanistan to friendly fire showed the instructors that he had resilience to keep going when things got tough. Unfortunately he didn't make it to the end, he made it about 60% through before being medically discharged from the series because of an injury.

Its not just a "taster". Yes its a watered down version as they dont do multiple enviroments or techincal training with equipment but the phsyical and mental testing is tough enough for the guys to often say to the winner that they would happily fight along side them in the special forces. Do you even watch the show? They literally said it to the two winners of this years series.

Shahed Miah I’m pretty sure after they completed it they then say you can potentially go on to proper selection and train on from there if they were accepted it’s a small part of what they do because they can’t actually show proper sas selection because of the brutality and security reasons SAS (the show) is a mix between army and marine with bits and pieces from sas but the proper course is months or hard training and your still not guaranteed to pass

Me and my brother were fighting in a small village in Croatia (1991). Our convoy split i was going with part of my troops to the capital of Zagreb but my brother had to stsy in the vilage and protect it untill the 126th division (which had morr and fresh troops) came in the village. at 26 of July my brothers convoy was under attack by the chetniks and the yugoslavian national army. That fight was 3 weeks long, my brother, after the village had fallen, he was captured and tortured in a abandoned school and later he got killed, before he died he even wrote me and my parents a strong letter which made me feel terrible, he wrote that we should not worry and that he will be back home soon but unfortunately that never happend, we have been waiting him for 4 years and at the end of the war we got informed that he has been lost in war 4 years ago and that news shocked us and changed our lives forever. Now we are back happy again and trying not to think about the past but looking Tomrrow..... Dear Dario you will never be forgotten i hope you atleast live a good life in up there, god bless you...

That broke my heart. I could not comprehend losing my son.

The first episode of season 2 alone is better than the entire first season. Can't wait for the next episodes.

What a Bloke, I relate to some of his story, and the thought of what he must have and still is going through and how he's dealing with it just fills me with so much respect for this man.

Big respect for father.

What an amazing father. Much respect to him x

This man is a legend. Well done

Incredible.All of them.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Bless this man and his family ❤

True bravery and honour. What a wonderful tribute.

Thank you for your sons life and him giving it. I'm sorry it went like that. Thanks to you too number 11.

What a remarkable man.

I loved this guy from the first minute. He is a real hero, no doubt. Was really sad to hear that story. I hope he is ok now.

They went from looking like interrogators... to concerned fathers when they heard this man speak of his son dying in a war.

Bless his heart. His son would’ve been proud.

Total respect to that man for doing attempting the course , same age as me , but twice the man .

Honouring his son, amazing 👏

This is incredible, a really man and father

What an absolute gem that man is 👍

Hard times make seriously hard people to bring down, motivation like that is impossible to beat. I know when I had a hard time, it's like I was utterly fearless, hard to explain.

Touching. God bless you dad

Respect! Brave poor bloke

What a man. ❤

I love the grin at the end. Respect

Brave man. Respect to him. Son is a hero along with his dad❤

Blue on blue must be the worst kind of death to hear for any soldier. I imagine the mental trauma of a solider killing their ally has caused a lot of guilt and PTSD

You can see their guard drop. This was no longer some guy on this show. This is a father of a fallen brother in arms. They were probably quietly cheering him on through the whole show while putting him through the wringer

That is mental strength.

Great fella, hope he has some peace now

I don’t even know the guy and never will, but he is an inspiration my upmost respect for him.

God bless all of them

Even though it was deemed an accident the dad still told the soldier he had blood on his hands. He probably feels bad enough.

Although old mate will never read this comment. Thank you for your son's service. My uncle was severely paralyzed after being thrown 35 metres from a black hawk helicopter when it crashed. He was SASR and 2CDO, Platoon Sgt and lead the exercise, he lost his entire squad in one crash.
