WHATS WRONG WITH IT? NOTHING!!.. ITS AWESOME!! IT DOENST DESERVE THE LOW RATINGS...... WATCH THE HOLLYWOOD "NAVY SEALS" THEN WATCH THESE... IT SURE AS HELL BEATS THE HOLLYWOOD VERSION.

THIS IS THE BEST SEAL FOOTAGE IVE SEEN EVER.

This two video set is amazing. I wanted a better look at SEAL life, tactics, and training; however, info beyond BUD/S is harder to acquire. This video series shines about as clear a light on the world beyond BUD/S as anyone could hope for. I now have a whole new respect for these warriors, and the respect I had before seeing this set was pretty substantial. I'd recommend these to anyone, especially those with any interest in this branch of service. My thanks to all who serve our country.

I must first answer a previous review; there is not one reenactment in either of these videos. Gordon Forbes III recieved permission to film actual SEAL training missions, although the end is result is heavily edited. There are some generic Gulf War combat shots to go with the narration about the operation at Mina Saud, but I don't believe any footage was available of the operation itself. In a world where you can see just about anything on Youtube, I doubt cameras are allowed on missions. No, American documentaries of Special Forces units rarely rely on reenactments. The Brits are the ones notorious for that. They even reenacted the selection course for SAS in one video. These videos are excellent, and are the only ones you will find with contemporary footage of operational SEAL teams. If your tired of watching long retired SEALs slosh around in Vietnam and pretending to get ambushed for the camera, you'll want to check these out. There is one thing keeping you from enjoying these vidoes however; they are never available. I ordered one awhile back and waited for it for three months before Amazon finally told me the vendor hadn't had it in the first place. I've been checking this page for about a year now and haven't seen one for sale. So, good luck.

this documentary is really great. i have seen it many times and the details are great. the action is good.

This is horrible.....complete rubbish. These re-enactment spoofs are a total insult to anyone who is slightly educated about military operations and more precisely CQB and SpecWar operations.

Purchase any other video besides this.

Hooyah.

Gimme a break...Hollywood at it's best ...geez
