We Americans will never forget his brave deeds during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. You gotta have guts to charge into certain death like he did. God bless you...a world hero.
Thanks for posting I didnt know he had a son that was KIA ! Its to bad he died at such a young age, but he died doing what he liked to do and that means something ! MAC died at 61 is my understanding, that is way to young for a man of this stature ! SAD ! I always wanted to meet him what a professional ! Rest in Peace !
The still photo at 4:19 , I own a poster that I got from a HK gun rep. years and years ago ! It actually is advertising the MP5 in the foreground lower right corner. And the background is the photo at 4:19 ! Lower left it says HK in action ! It mesures 3ft tall x 2ft wide ! Does anyone know which one is "MAC" ? In 1980 I was a 12 ! I had seen the movie FINAL OPITION. Between the movie and the poster it spawned a interest and alot of research into the SAS.This man is a TRUE WARRIOR!
John MaAleese this world as lost a true Brittish Soidier thank you for your Service to this country for just all to walk safe and sound you are now with your son thank you both for what you two have done rest in peace now your work is done
spud was saved those hostages aswell, danny dier done that worlds toughest guys on him, you done us all proud mcAleese rest in peace! this man was TRUE hero!
Ill will never forget watching the seige live as a 10 year old boy. The most exciting thing I ever saw. S.A.S were a hyped mystery for us kids until then. To see that live newsflash was just crackers.. and the way it took over the worlds media.. and the storm was just nuts. I really really thought it would go tits up, but it didnt. Unknown to us (and the terrorists) they knew more than we thought re the situation before going in.
wow! i didnt know that John McAleese had passed away, he was such an icon for british S.A.S. his signature mustasche and cockney style accent.. were like calling card's
it's sad.. but he did a great job for human kind with his life. he trained and lived in such a way as to save other lives while always risking his own.. REST IN PEACE John MAC...
Why do people post shit saying Scots are the best troops or Englishmen are the best troops it doesn't matter they're fighting for Britain you dumb cunts
Its the real men like John McAleese that makes me proud to be British and English,even though John was a proud scotsman,as an englishman i would just like to say that scotsman like John make Britain truly Great.although I never had the honor to meet you John and his dear son I hope you are both resting in peace,I salute you both.
Long live the British Special Forces the best in the world.
@dubfocus89 hes telling the truth theres more english in the SAS than scottish eather way there all tough men toughest in the world and the best at what they do anyways R.I.P john great man and a great soldier made us proud
So many of us here in America are so very very proud of this man. Our Greatest of respects to McAleese and the loss of his son and the same goes out to England and their loss of a true hero. I have nothing but respect for the man and his country. He makes me so proud of my ancestry which lies in England. I am one of the few here in the States that KNOW where I COME FROM and I am God Damn proud of it!! Please pardon the language...
@MrLimborace No mate, Soldier I was written by his good mate Pete Winner. Type his name in the YouTube search bar for an interview with him. He's a complete nutter!
@captaincommando2 My mate wrote that comment on my account... hence why i deleted it right away. I know John was in N Ireland... He led the loughgall ambush. So i do know alot. My uneducated friend does not!
@gnoam9 well said! haha gotta love the " move your f..head" part..cracked me up! he was truelly what the sas is about - 100% badass, down to the earth, kind of guy! Inspirational
I don't agree with war but this man was a true warrior, hard as nails and fearless. He doveted his life to war because the world we live in is an unsafe place. As long as Terrorists and public enemies exist, the SAS will exist. Unfortunately when the special forces deal with one drug Lord or mass murderer another hundred rise up from some where else, so we still need to find an alternative solution for the evils in our world.
From the bottom of my heart, really wanted to meet this bloody soldier in person...to see the purest form of grit and courage available on this goddamn planet...it is time we gave leonidas a break and gave that valorous position to this legend...RIP...he and his son are probably training the legions of heaven right now.......
LOL...Move your F****N head, it was Maggie...class. From a McAlees...different spelling i know but who knows considering it was usually the registrar who decided how your name was spelled.
@cups8 once in a lifetime do we get to meet people like John McAleese, will always be a hero in my, and many peoples lives and will be sadly missed. R.I.P Mac.
Price Is Well alive in our hearts in mw3 and he actualy Save the world! Mc Aleese RIP your the best thank you for being beatifull and inspirating an game industry!
John McAleese stayed in Thessaloniki!!Where I live and took part in reserves clubs actions!!!He was very known there by many ex-commandos who trained together in Germany ILRPS!!many people respect him!!he was really skilled officer and help them a lot!!Some website in Greece from reserves clubs really sad about his death!!RIP John McAleese!!
how ironic ...lived by the gun died by the clock .. .at least no one can say they got you . rest in peace warrior !
