Скачать или смотреть The Mission to Rescue 1500 kidnapped Girls from Boko Haram | SWO Prateek Mahtha, CCV, NDM | Part 2

This episode is the second part of an unfiltered exploration into the world of elite shadow operations. It moves from the philosophy of combat to the brut@l, ground-level reality of missions that never make the headlines.

In this conversation, Special Warfare Operator Prateek Mahtha, CCV, NDM, details his service in the French Foreign Legion—a force where your identity is erased, your name is changed, and your only law is survival. From the high-stakes rescue of over 500 girls from Boko Haram to the "No Quarters" missions this is a masterclass in the Economy of Action and Economy of Words.

This episode explores:

🔹Selection & The 1-in-30 Rule: Why the gates of the Legion start with a 15 pull-up gauntlet just to earn a seat in the waiting room.
🔹"We Don’t Pay for the Same Real Estate Twice": The legendary stance of refusing to retreat even when surrounded by enemy heights in Afghanistan.
🔹Mission: Boko Haram: The tactical execution of successive operations that rescued 525 kidn@pped girls from human tr@ff!ckers and militants.
🔹Identity Sanitization: Inside the "Gestapo"—the seven-day psychological gauntlet where your past is deleted to prepare you for the shadows.
🔹March or Die: Surviving the lethal desert operations where your only law is water discipline and combat efficiency.
🔹Ultima Ratio (The Last Argument): Why an elite operator rejected French citizenship to return to India and pioneer the next generation of indigenous weapon systems.

This is not a story of medals; it is a professional reflection on the cost of operational success and the weight of decisions made in the heat of battle.

🎙️ Monks & Warriors — beyond headlines, into reality.
