re: Has the interview with Maduro's bodyguard been shared here?

As cool as that would be I don't think this interview took place
I have no doubt that we employed some very high tech, very secretive EW against Venezuela, but this mission didn't rely on some wunderwaffe
This was classic EW to blind them and jam their comms, stealth attack aircraft for SEAD, MH60-L DAP, and a ton of incredibly well trained and well equipped men defeating a very well trained Cuban 'Black Wasps' Security Team, capturing their targets and leaving without losing a single man
To the Venezuelan Soldiers in Caracas it probably felt like the entire US Military was attacking, that they'd already overwhelmed coastal defenses and units and were already in Caracas. With their comms being jammed they all probably thought they were the last ones left

Unnamed security guard
Unnamed interviewer
Interviewer interrupts a dialogue just to break up the flow for the reader, and in other places to redirect.
The closer is for the purpose to instill fear in enemies.
It reads like a work of fiction - a snippet from a short story by a never published author attempting to get published.
But I hope the details are true.

This isn't real. Who was the interviewer? Who was the nees agency that put this out?
It reads good and makes you feel good. But only 23 security forces were killed in Maduros compound.
100 total killed in county. 30 something were cuban military.
. I dont doubt we used drones and maybe our sonic weapon but i do doubt this story without a true source.

Remember when libs actually thought our military would have a tough time if we ever had to fight Mexican cartels?
Well, let's be clear about this. The Radical American Left have not yet had enough time to fully deteriorate our US Special Ops forces to the point where they are led by DEI and Human Resources experts. Once that happens, and along with some de-funding that will deteriorate training, readiness and weapons acquisition, THEN the US military might have a tough time against the Mexican cartels.
Give it time. The Democrats will one day get more power in the USA and make these things happen. That's their goal. There's a lot of money in bribes and payoffs that come from these Cartels, don't you know? The Dems aren't going to leave that money on the table.

The Bin Laden raid was 15 years ago. Our Special Forces have spent the last 20 years developing and improving raid tactics and technology. While the military of the dictatorships have largely been focused on bullying civilians.
We should cut the head off the Iranian snake now.

Awesome. The big thing is, it’s not really the technology.
These guys practiced this raid for weeks, they knew every step each other were going to take. Over, and over, and over again they ran through it. From getting on each helicopter to getting back off everyone knew where each other would be.
This is standard practice for any op with any sort of timeline/lead up and does not differentiate this raid from any other raid. Basic 101 stuff.
The mockups, rehearsals, etc. are standard practice for missions such as this one, akin to a football team practicing their plays. Everyone does it, all the time, unless it's such a short-fuse thing that there's no time. There's nothing "above and beyond" about it.
The success of this raid was largely due to the AFO work, the planning, and yes, the tools at our disposal. (Not discounting the execution; the high-level execution is largely a given/known/assumed.)

The facts have all basically been substantiated even if you believe the interview is or is being used as propaganda.
Did we shutdown Chinese missile defense systems? Yes.
Did we utilize drones? Yes, on camera.
Did we insert SF operators? Yes.
Did we kill hundreds without any American deaths? Yes.
You don’t kill hundreds with 20 without using air or artillery without casualties unless your tech is simply overwhelming.
If all those facts are true the essence of the interview is basically verified even if the person speaking is being coerced or the message being spread as a warning to Mexico, Iran and other China aligned nations.

May have missed it on here, but heard a chinook pilot was injured and shot up. Dropped the delta boys off, and then flew back bleeding. Not sure what your son does in these kind of missions, but has he told you this? If you spoken much to him since of course.

That’s amazing if true. Like an episode of Stranger Things.
Honestly though none of us should be completely shocked to find that the US actually has some kind of secret technology for use in situations like this. I think about what the people like us in 1945 would have thought if we heard the US was developing a nuclear bomb that could incinerate a city in one blast. Would have sounded far fetched.

Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.

The White House Press Secretary pointed this out to everyone and urged them to read it.

I will neither confirm nor deny the first part.
My son flies on the Blackhawks. He wasn’t on the mission which makes him sort of pissed. He had leave scheduled for the first time in 5 years around Christmas and therefore was unavailable. We have spoken a lot since this happened but not about this so much.
We’ve spoken about a few of his missions mostly because I can open source a lot of what goes on and then we talk about other stuff around the mission. For example, the crew we lost in the Med a couple Novembers ago were all his buddies (different company but he knew them well) and we spoke about how hard it hit him to be the first recovery bird on scene except for that DAPs buddy bird.
The thing about the Regiment guys is they take the “quiet professional” part extremely serious. That’s why there has been 1 book ever written by a 160th guy and he is pretty much PNG on the compound.

You talking about the bin ladin raid that captured a dead man or his double after he was whisked away?

I saw it in a YT video or reading a story about the raid but yes, one of the chopper pilots took some small arms fire to the leg but continued on the mission as normal. He was the only one hospitalized. There were a couple other guys that took shrapnel, but were back on duty within a day or two.
According to what I saw in the story.
