This is what I was saying. They are about to whitewash the whole operation into a "saviour complex", relegating the overwhelming efforts of the Kenyan security services. Smh. 4 Likes |

SalamRushdie: As already confirmed on this thread, he is SAS through and through. On top of all the media on the subject, his gun is a C8 Colt 5.56mm which the SAS are known to use. There were US Seals there also, there seems to be one on the right hand side of one of these pictures. https://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/2014/06/l119a2-colt-canada-c8-upgrade/ And honestly who cares if the SAS helped to lead this operation? This is not about African pride, it's about saving as many lives as possible and they know how to. 2 Likes |

SalamRushdie: Indeed, I've seen the picture too. Most likely he did some cross-training with the Seals - 22 SAS have a cross-training base in Nairobi. In addition to the gun being SAS issue, the balaclava looks like SAS issue, it's very rare to see a Navy Seal with such kit. 2 Likes |
