#156 Chris Fettes - A SEAL Team 6 Sniper’s Worst Nightmare

We're looking at every threshold for wires, for different... You know, they even started using, you know, motion sensors and, you know, light sensors like photosensitive bulbs, you know, and pillows and shit like that to just blow, right? And there's so many ops where that happens, right? So it's high tension and we're expecting this shit and we get down and they're at a compound, right?

Got a long walk in, everything goes well, and then we get to, you know, we see some movement around, some guys that seem to have RPGs, motorcycles moving around, and then what I believe was going on based off of what happened was that that was just normal shit going on because we were able to get all the way up to the target, sneaking up, and get up on top and get ready without anybody knowing anything, right?

But... There were a couple of noises, you know, that we made. The way that I go back to thinking about what actually happened on this op has a lot to do with, you know, Kevin King never spoke much about it after. Maybe he's super traumatized by it. Maybe he's living his life, whatever. But Timothy Weeks did speak up on it a bunch in a bunch of different interviews and news outlets.

And, you know, I was in my contracting work after this hop and eventually they, they were cut a deal to be turned over and traded. And with the release of an Asa Connie, which is, you know, the leader and a couple of other guys. And once that happened pretty quickly, it went around even in the news, like a little writeup that he had of like what he thought happened on those different ops.

Cause there was a couple of attempts, a couple of failed attempts. And I pieced it together over time, what I thought really happened, right? And so different ROEs for a hostage rescue, totally different. And every operator really understands like pretty in depth like what those are. You have to, right? You really talk about it. Because the mission is the hostages.

Or you're going to rescue the hostages and kill all the bad guys. Great. You know? Or the good guys might accidentally kill the hostage while they're doing the operation. That's happened before too.
