Summer, 2005. US and coalition forces were battling through the 4th year of Operation Enduring Freedom. While few envisioned an end to the overall mission in Afghanistan any time soon, there was some hope in the form of the impending parliamentary elections scheduled for September of that year that rather remarkably for Afghanistan would include female candidates.
However, the various anti-coalition militias that had sprung up comprising of members of the Taliban, the Al-Qaeda terrorist network and various other factions opposed to western influence in their country were determined to stop the elections which they saw as ungodly. Recognising this, coalition forces in Afghanistan took proactive steps to clamp down on some of the most radical factions and their leaders in the months building up to September.
This would lead to one of the deadliest days in the history of the United States special forces where a force ultimately comprising twenty men would be wiped out save for one. A sole survivor. Welcome to Wars of the World.

I've read it and the Book's You done an Amazing Job Thank you so much and to the OG Top5's Team as a Whole!
Thank You!
Seems like lutrell wigged out during the firefight and fled leaving his team behind…
Hi are you doing more on would war 1 aviation
So you need to understand the difference between "Special Forces" and Special Operations Forces. There is only ONE original "US Special Forces" and that is the US Army's Special Forces branch. They are The Green Berets, and they wear a tab on their uniforms that says; "Special Forces". They are absolute multi-lingual, unconventional, bad a$$es. Enough said.
The SEALs (with all due respect) are NOT Special Forces. They are Naval Special Warfare, Naval Special Operators, and are a part of the US Special Operations Group (SOG). They are Frogmen, UDTs, and are very much bad a$$. There is a difference, and if you're going to put out a video like this and make money off it; you need to get your info right.
You do ALL these men a disservice and disrespect when you put out false, or incorrect information like this. I hope you correct this and dont make this mistake in the future.
@@RoninSerradaEscrimadore😅😊,h😅’ 😂😅😅
Marcus ran away, he had full mags, official reports from qrf and those that rescued him, left his team to die.
As a retired US Army Special Forces soldier (Green Beret), I can tell you that your video starts with a glaring error, describing Navy SEALs as "Special Forces". This is wrong. Only US Army Special Forces, aka Green Berets, are actually called Special Forces. All others are known generally as Special Operations Forces (SOF). As for the Red Wings mission, it was doomed to fail because was ill-conceived and poorly planned. Because the team didn't have good intelligence about the terrain or enemy strength, they were bound to be compromised and far outnumbered. LT Murphy couldn't call for help because the location they had chosen; the mountain they were on blocked line-of-site communications signals. This was a stunning and fundamental oversight in basic mission planning. In the SOF community, SEALs are notorious for their lack of detailed mission planning, to include planning for contingencies when things inevitably go wrong. I've seen this firsthand.
Whilst you are correct in technicality, it's only really something that offends Americans. The rest of the world uses the term special forces. It's only really Americans that use 'Special Operations' and then get all pedantic when SEALs and other groups get called Special Forces. They're special forces guys. "But hurr durr actually only our Green Berets are spec-" yeah well rest of the world doesn't care we're still going to call them special forces. Americans have even started giving the special operations umbrella header to many non-SF units in other countries like the Royal Marines in the UK.
Well said! 75th,
@@CoffeeFiend1 We care about your opinion about just as much.
@@CoffeeFiend1yea, you’re wrong, my friend. If you’re called something specific (SF), and then everyone else is called it when they’re not, then the word is being used incorrectly. Also, who is this video about? International SOF or USSOF?
If anyone’s going to “report” anything, report correctly and accurately
Glad you got him I was about to thanks Bro.
Title should be "When THREE Navy Seals took on the Taliban." With all the contradicting evidence out now, nobody should still believe Marcus is a hero.
They actually heard the chopper dropping off the seals then tracked them They were already discovered before they came across the goat hearders when the film was being made they changed the script.
I love your videos dude and would really like to make my own sometime. What's your process like?
When you go on a mission when there will be very little to no communication, it can be fatal.
I hate to be negative, but the new narrator's delivery is... soporific. His voice and enunciation are actually quite good, but there's so little energy it's hard to pay attention properly.
"You hate to be negative." No, you don't. You like negativity.
@@shawnryan2197 Learn to troll, honey. That was pathetic. ❤
I love your channel ❤️
Marcus can say what he likes. No one left alive to challenge him.
Except the Rangers who saved him and said he had all his magazines still full of ammo.
@@Outlander.-. I meant in the actual battle. But yes I’ve heard that too. Quite concerning. Suggests he ran
I read the collected data on some website I forgot, but yeah it was a complete clusterfuck, complete loss and tragedy, they were outnumbered, but not by _hundreds_ , probably 2 dozen, outgunned, and had the low ground iirc.
Nothing like the movie. @@nathanw8929
@@wtfdtreats It wasn't two dozen or even a single dozen, it was 8-10 ACM insurgents, confirmed by signal and human intelligence gathered in Pakistan as well as by Army Rangers who searched the mountain.
@@nathanw8929 I've heard this too. Not sure I believe it though to be honest. I just have a hard time believing that a highly trained Navy Seal not only supposedly ran from his boys but didn't even fire a single shot? How does a person like that even get through any of the basic training?
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Excellent video!
"Army" is 12 Taliban so you mean a squad or group?
True. Everything I've read about the mission indicates there were no more than 15 to 25 enemy combatants. I also read Lone Survivor.
@@samfisher2306can you point me to the right direction for source thanks 🙏 it's abit propaganda the book
there are only 7 armed guys in the video. And if you watch the video, you never hear more than a few taliban weapons going off at a time. If there were 25-200 enemies firing, the video would sound a lot different.
Your thumbnail for this video is incorrect. The US Navy Seals and Special Forces are under different commands. This was the worst day for the Navy Seals!
This report ignores the ad hoc reason that Navy SF became involved and the shortcomings in planning by the Navy SF that ultimately led to the disaster.
There is no "Navy SF". There is only ONE "SF" in the US military, and that is the Army's Green Berets. Navy SEALs are; Navy Spec-War, Navy Special Operations, frogmen, etc.
@@RoninSerradaEscrimadore Beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing.
@RoninFreakystops Why are so butt hurt over the nomenclature? As long as you yourself know who you are, what you do, and by what name you're identified by within the armed forces, it shouldn't really bother you much. Most guys that are in combat arms roles of any kind wouldn't give a fu*k that someone on CZcams or anyone for that matter missed a technicality of such insignificance. The guys that make up these different units within SOCOM, JSOC, etc, don't get upset about hardly anything at all, let alone something like this.
Egos and over confidence made this happen. Spent enough time tasting the dirt. Been there done that 😊
Not a bad video, I'll check for more. From my ground pounding medics point of view the interchangeable " Navy SEAL's" and " Special Forces " kinda sucks though.
It's only really something that offends Americans though. The rest of the world uses the term special forces. It's only really Americans that use 'Special Operations' and then get all pedantic when SEALs and other groups get called Special Forces. They're special forces guys. "But hurr durr actually only our Green Berets are spec-" yeah well rest of the world doesn't care we're still going to call them special forces.
It seems you may know this too. There is only ONE "SF" or "Special Forces" in the US military, and that is the Army's Green Berets. Navy SEALs are Naval Special Operators of Naval Special Warfare, aka Frogmen. That is this ground pounding grunt's point of view (have several brothers down range in SF units rn).
Nobody cares bud. Our military is an embarrassment.
@kennybachman35 ...just exactly what your mama says about you bucko!!!
The four were screwed when the team could not get communication with qrf or the base.
They were screwed the moment they hit the ground
Deadliest for SOF? What about Black Hawk Down/Gothic Serpent, or Extortion 17?
I don't know about the others. But during the Black Hawk Down events 18 died, though 70 were also wounded. So I guess Red Wings takes the cake by one more KIA.
@@b.elzebub9252 Yeah but RedWings they were fighting like 12-20 Goat Herders. In Mogadishu they were fighting essentially the entire city and numerous warring clans put their differences aside to kill Americans that day.
Extortion 17 was after this.
Narrator should’ve added “to date”
was Extortion the helicopter that was shot down trying to save these guys?
I thought most people correct their inaccuracies in videos these days slapping on some text to do so
That other guy made a choice to also get in the car with Ryan for his family to sue is crazy
They fought 8-10 untrained Afghans and lost. Luttrell was found with all 11 mags filled with ammo. When he realized the fight was lost he ran away rather than fight with the others
A lot of armchair warrior experts in this thread, I don’t think any of you have any idea what your talking about.
Is this what that movie with Mark Whalberg was based on?
Wonder why the U.S. never learned anything from the Soviet Afghan War?
It's not about learning. It's not about winning or losing. It was about going to war to fund every aspect of the military industrial aspect.
In addition coalition forces lost a little under 4000 casualties. Taliban had what, 50,000 deaths? Even if we didn't accomplish our goals because the afghan army is full of coward men who did not want to fight for their freedom or country, we still kicked Taliban ass halfway around the world.
@@neoxyte but then they came back, just like the mujahideen when the Soviets left
The same could be said for the Russians inside ukraine now ukraine is russias Vietnam losing men and equipment by the thousands
@@neoxytecopium
A PSC-5 radio set has a feature called satcom loopback to let the user precisely know they can reach the satellite and this would make sure you would never assume a hide location where you cannot make comms. They did not have this radio and what they had was not officially approved for use on satellites. Backup on this snafu would of been HF in the form of a very lightweight HF radio set. Weird in the movie, they covered up the lack of the PSC-5 by having a PSC-5 with special red nomenclature printed face plate that there never was to make it stand out. This is either tone death marketing corporate weenies or a coverup.
Has the policy been changed when a Seal team or special ops unit capture unarmed civilians, knowing they will be compromised? Are they allowed to kill on the spot? Also, do these units have gun/rifle silencing equipment to use without compromising their position?
It didn't change after DS/DS when this happened to a SF ODA.
It's a suppressor, not a silencer. Units have suppressed .22 pistols available for this.
That’s not why they were found. There are ample transcripts from locals in the area; basically everyone knew they were there when they flew the loud ass helicopter to the site. A random goat herder isn’t the reason they got found
@geetee2694 lol. it was a silencer bro.
Negative. Our ROE's state that unarmed civilians cannot be murdered. They are considered non-combatants
@@JokersWild70 As they should be protected. Sadly, non-combatant casualties far outstrip those of the combatants and have throughout all of human history. My heart aches for my SOF brothers, but I agree with a number of others commenting here that less-than-stellar intel, planning, and terrain association put the operators in an untenable position and set the sad events of that day in motion.

Nothing about ANYTHING of Afghanistan warranted me to Join the Armed Forces Nor Iraq, wisest Choice to date tbh...
I was 17, signed up through delayed entry program for Marines in 2009. Went to meps, pissed in front of a bunch of guys, spread my ass for some weird Chinese doctor who barely spoke English, signed my contract and took oath. Went back 2 months later to knock out 5 pullups (just did minimum so I could show improvement later) and did some other stuff. Ended up ghosting my recruiter and not going to my Paris island ship date. Best decision I made. I was under 18 so I think my contract was not enforceable but I honestly have no idea. I just ghosted my recruiter. Even though I got a 97 on asvab and had choice of jobs (ended up picking up some aircraft mechanic mos. Didn't even know Marines had planes), I realized that my recruiter made up a lot of lies and did a lot of shady shit. For instance he made me get my medical records (my parents made me see a psychiatrist when I was 14 at the time) and shredded them in front of me. He also told me to just lie about an arrest I had for weed. Idk man that and my mental health, it prob would of been a good decision to go but I do not regret just not going.
@neoxyte Hey Follow your Gut, don't Just back out Being a Punk though. Ghosting People Is a BAD look as a Man, "All a Man Has Is his NAME n Reputation in Life." Nothing More Nothing Less...
Thank god u didn't join we don't need people or cowards in our military. I served from 2011 to 2015 best decision I made. Some people can't deal with hardship but want the easiest route
@erickiyoshiphillips2323 Yea all your sacrifice n BRAINS 🧠 apparently was left over in Afghanistan, Thanks for your service. Your Words Mean Nothing to A Man. Just because you put on a uniform without Reason Doesn't make you a Man just makes You Cannon fodder... You don't seem happy in your Life if you gotta get in my comments about how you service a POINTLESS tour in a Pointless WAR kudos to you Dummy... 👏 👌
Btw remember a 4 man SR team the sole purpose we used them in vietnam - Laos /Cambodia is to LOCATE THE ENEMY VIA BAITING. You use 4-6 men as bait, which is a nice soft irresistible target for the enemy to take out. And you bait the enemy out. No joke the 4 guys on red wings did exactly what the doctrine says. Where the mistakes were made is the qrf. Now understand if you have a peasant mind set you will get angry at this. -- now the 4 guys truly believed they were to provide sniper over watch for the assault force infil. anybody that knows NE Afghanistan. This is a fantasy! Reality is, it’s heavily populated we learned in 2002. -- but most people don’t realize what 4 man recon teams were designed for! Literally BAIT! It’s hard to hear but that’s why the idea was thought up.
your story would explain much untold details, nobody talked about... I have seen a video from the insurgents, showing 5 seals and they walked in plain sight and daylight down the mountain... why the 5th person was never mentioned? that leads to the question what else details may be not true aswell....
Didn't the last man actually have all his ammo left he was provided with?Never took a shot
Unconfirmed.
The Arab who saved Marcus has said from day one that ML still had all 11 mags. He also disputed the severity of MLs injuries, the size of the Taliban "army" and the goat herders theory. Since then many of the Rangers and a few Seals have told the truth about what happened. Including the fact that ML ran and fired few , IF ANY, rounds.
@@jasoncapps3516 Magazine retention is a thing. I doubt he pulled all 330 rounds out of their magazines to count them. The team probably got ambushed by 7 armed men, that's how many are in the video and the volume of fire doesn't suggest there were more. The guy they were hunting was never known to have more than 10 guy under him, so 7/8 enemy fighters.
@@Rhetorical346 you don't believe the Rangers who rescued him would have checked his mags? Besides that, Ive heard ML was pretty much still shitting his pants and admitting to his lack of engagement initially. He probably thought he was coming home to be court marshalled only to be made into a hero. Btw, ML told Anderson Cooper on 60 minutes that while Murphy was begging for his help, he "put down his gun, covered his ears and quit." HIS WORDS. And, for whatever it's worth, some reports say all of the guys had most of their ammo left.
@@jasoncapps3516 no, I don't think they had any reason to empty his 11 magazines (if he still had them at that point) and count the rounds. Do you have any evidence they did?
For the US it was: Operation Red Wings
For the Taliban it was: Operation Fried Wings
14:14 and 14:20 this video states that there were 2 MH-47s carrying 8 seals and 8 crewman. When the first bird is short down it states that all 16 on board. This is impossible. I am very the narrator made a mistake. There were probably 12 seals on board with 4 crewman for a total of 16 man, not counting the other chopper. Otherwise this story wouldn’t make any sense.

@@WorshipinIdols, I don't know, there are a lot of things in the video that are inaccurate. Operation Red Wings happened over 18 years ago. It's been talked about to death. There's a ton of info out there about it.
frickin 2/3, hardcore.
To just be dropped off up there would suck. You don’t realize how high up that is There’s no air. I was about a mile north of this in 2007 and it took a month for us to be able to walk and not be sucking wind. Kunar and nuristan in 2007 was the wild Wild West and we were the cowboys at 2 mins that’s video of the battle for wanat which was my company
We do not know how many men the team faced and even if it was 12 or 100 they were out terrained because taliban are very good at knowing there terrain.
The seals turned down the Marines plans, use and advice. To blame the terrain is a non sequitur.
Your right I'm just saying that usually when it came to mission the taliban had one strength if you were In a place with terrain was knowing the terrain. It did play a factor in this mission.
@@geetee2694 I’m just saying most people don’t realize these men were stationed at bagram and were flown up to altitude and dropped off. I don’t care if they’re navy seals or long distance runners. Even with zero gear just walking up there will damn near kill a normal person you’re literally sucking wind just standing then add gear and the fact that you never get to the top of the mountain literally take 12 to -5 hours to actually walk to the top because of all the false summits. Should they have planned better ? Sure ? Should they have gotten coms before they let those goat hearders go ? Yes they should have waited until the birds showed up. I forget the name but I’ll try to find it it’s a book just about that region and why everyone up there hated us since 2002 random accidental killings at first hear and there and those people never forgave and which correlated to my deployment because it took years for them to masses the weapons and men so in 2007 fighting season started we had to deal with it chosen company 2007 2008 we are the most decorated company of the war two plts because 3rd was detached so like 60 people ish. 130 Purple Hearts I got shot 9 times the last time took me out of the fight and retired. You would need 1000’s of soldiers up there to actually make a difference not 4 this area has been the downfall of empires for thousands of years. I’m not disagreeing. With you and got long winded but yea fuck the korengal Fuck the kunar and especally Fuck the waygal valley. Mind you we were way father out then this and we had two squads and we rotated patrol duty every 8 days when we weren’t on patrol 4 days we got to stay down at the base which you could throw a stone acrossed smallest base in Afghanistan at the time and the other 4 days we had to go to op1 which basically us shooting would give the base notice of an attack but we were at the bottom of a fish bowl and the other 8 days we patrolled but with 8 guys max. Long winded again I apologize but I have experience in this exact location I’ve walked through the crash sight another company found one of these seals helmets and returned it to the family inwas not involved in that and I was a pfc at the time so o had no say in anything
@@basketballguru8187 I know I’ve literally walked through that crash sight read my other reply for a short summary of what I replied it’s long winded and I’m. Not typing it again
You got Dietz and Axe’s jobs mixed up. Dietz was the comms guy and Axelson was the sniper!
YUP..Copy That
He did get it correct. He mentions it a 7:40
Great allies ! 😊👏🦾🇺🇸
Sounds too Hollywood like
They fucked up. They could have taken that goat herder with them while they ex-filed until they had comms again and a bird landed, then let him go. plain and simple.
Lol u think they didn't think of every possibility? This is why every delta force unit ranger unit all declined the mission. I don't know what this seal team saw differently In the mission
But they were compromised way before they caught the goat herders. The loud helicopter gave away their position from the very start. They were already doomed the minute they set foot on that mountain.
I was on 45 north in downtown houston when this incident came over the news. A vet myself, i pulled over and couldnt believe it. A whole damn helo and 16 people at once...ive witnessed multiple deaths in my time in the corp. All in training though....i was injured early and non deployable
Every nih I kih I kih em biggggggg
What is FREEDOM? We might as well change the definition to Conquest cause that’s all we’ve been doing so far. Just like Operation Iraqi Conquest, sounds more truthful. I understand it’s a business but damn
did everyone here like the movie?
It's a good movie with very exciting although greatly exagerrated and unrealistic shootouts. However as soon as I start reading about this incident and watched some real life footage I just couldn't look at the movie in the same way.
Special military operation.
Thank God for the pashtoons
That's because that guy decided to save that goat herder. Instead it cost his men's lives. Sucky choice.
They were in a hazadous situation outnumbered
And outgunned!
No mention of Mohammed finding Marcus with a full kit he never fired his weapon in the taliban videos on CZcams you can hear Murphy screaming for help from Marcus

Sad day but Marcus and all that died showed why they called heros sadly names less known respect from England
Luttrell was reported to be found with full magazines, the same number he went on the mission with, and despite him reporting 25-30 enemy, the number going as high as 50, the number of Taliban to be 8-10
Who is your source to back your claim?
@@tEEmAKETU wow - didn't realise I have to justify my comments. well - for starters you can try the newsweek article "Marcus Luttrell's savior, Mohammad Gulab, claims "Lone Survivor" got it wrong" and also "Victory Point" I know who I would believe and it isn't the person who stands to make $$ millions from their so colled story
@@tEEmAKETUit's documented facts. Many senior military vets that were there have acknowledged it. Also, the guy that saved Lutrell has spoken about how inaccurate Lutrell's version of the story is. That man has no reason to lie, he risked not only his life, but his family's life to save him.
Lastly, there's a video that the Taliban recorded during the whole attack. It's pretty gruesome and sad because they show Murphy's dead body. The Firefight took about 15-20 minutes I'd say, and there was about maybe 10-12 Taliban members. No enemy bodies were recovered so it's doubtful the Seals ever killed any of them. Any reports claiming there were is misinformation, thanks to Lutrell's false claims.
Navy seals mean the rock❤❤
This wasn't a bad day for SF. It was a bad day for USNSW...SEALs
It was a bad day bc a Navy command decision to refuse helo support (160TH SOAR) to Marines unless SEALs were involved. With poor contingency planning and little more than hopes for luck the SEALs went in by air Instead of foot. Not real stealthy.
They got compromised and annihilated by a Taliban crew.
The lone survivor survived by running away. Then the QRF was dispatched by helo despite knowledge that SAM-7s were known to be deployed in the area. They were shot out of the sky.
Debacle is putting it kindly.
Bara bin malik front
Ahmad Shah is a real description of the head of the head of the snake....2to be specific the head of the deadliest snake the INLAND TAIPAN. I cannot imagine how it was during this ugly and bloody contact pitting the four warriers. These guys give their all am sure the surviving enemies have a story 2 tell. I saw survivor MLuttrel giving details of how the contact transpired and could not miss his body language and facial expression that shouted danger. My condolences 2 the deceased Seals and every other guy who perished during the military tour in Afghanistan.
Ive seen so much cope & revisionism about this operation and Afghanistan in general from Americans, they lose a war and still just think they kicked ass and won every engagement when in reality they LOST militarily. many times and overall it was a military defeat that would go on until it was a political defeat and the US would leabe but we lost militarily all the way back in 2010 the Pentagon knew the war was unwinnable.
So much about this operation is a great example for the mistakes we made & the failures thats happened. for example this guy they were going after was some low level guy, not the 'right hand to Osama bin Laden' like they tried to claim at some points....Also it was originally a mission for the marines that was organized correctly with fire support., overwatch etc but then it got switched to a NAVY SEAL operation without fire support OR overwatch...they really just threw 4 guys onto a mountain with a radio that nobody understands why they took instead of a better working radio that they knew would have been better suited for the region(this would make it so that there is no command and control during most of the operation, leading to complete chaos and units having no idea what their mission or orders are. According a great book on the TRUTH about this tragic failure, written by Ed Darack, there was a complete breakdown of C3 command and control, leading to such actions like entire chinooks full of special forces being sent without apache cover into RPG laden valleys

WRONG..😂😂 ITS CALLED OPERATION RED WING..BECAUSE IT WAS MINNESOTA NATIONAL "RED WINGS" NOT NAMED OVER DAMN SPORTS TEAM😂😂
It’s Red Wing not Red Wings.
Too much confidence seals fits in Hollywood movies only ..only four operatives is not an good options ..U.S failed the afganistan war completely
the world knows that the US lost the Afghan war with their pants down.
They didn’t “trek in 4 miles” to the OP. They roped onto it from the 47 and left the ropes on the ground for anyone to see. They were told not do this and many other things that they did which ultimately led to their demise. That’s bad for recruitment. So they tweaked the lone survivor story to be used as propaganda which you are now perpetuating with misinformation.
You talk way too low! Can hardly hear you.
The Taliban "Army" was at max 12 guys who successfully ambushed both the SEAL team and the QRF. The story that it was any more then that was initially an attempt for their unit to save face and was later turned into propaganda. Having been attached to two separate SOG units as uplift for a year, i can say first hand that the SOG community sees the way OP Red Wings portrayed as offensive and/or laughable, but mostly just ridiculous ego boosting nonsense in the same vein as Chris Kyles claims. Please take this video down as it is a falsehood and it calls into question the research you have done on all of your other videos.
Go to bed

Taliban army? Dude the taliban were at best 12 to 20 guys armed with their previous weak Kalashnikovs. Despite the disadvantages the Talibs kicked yankee arse
They (the enemy) actually had pretty much every situational advantage going for them. SEALS are good but they're still people, it's very possible for them to be killed by equal or even less numbered opposing forces given the right/wrong circumstances depending on how you look at it. Fact is they were pretty fucked and couldn't do much at all, wasn't their fault, just how it was there's no magical extension that implies they were all shit, inadequate or terrible human beings, they were still good people, but their circumstances were just irrevocably fucked. Real life is like that sometimes.
Lol, yeah okay!
No way in hell did these Taliban climb up and surround them within one hour of letting the headers go. Ask anyone that has been. It takes hours and hours, even for the locals, which means the Taliban heard the choppers & then started up the mountain but there wasn’t 50 to 500 of them. There was around 12. As seen in real footage
Hey dummy Taliban gonna film their dead? Then put it out to the world
True heroes, one and all 🙏
😂😂😂😂
You mean criminals
You mean criminals
You mean criminals?
I must say i love all these comedians who knows how this ”really” happened. Everything from the ”fact” that it was only the 7 talibans you can see in their video, who was chasing the seals. Like a guy like Shah would only surround himself with 7 warriors and of course only would send 7 warriors, all walking together to search a whole mountain after at team of at least 4 navy seals. The goat hearders couldn't be shure it was only 4 of them. And the Rangers would of course done it completely differently and dragged at4's with them on a reconnaissance mission over a mountain top like that, when all the gears weight would be distributed among 4 operators. When they probably not even considered a glm. And you think half Afghanistan would have heard the helicopters drop off the seal team, but from that point it took the seal team about 4 hours to walk the rest of the way to get to a point where they could watch the village from a safe distance. And you cant understand how in the world Marcus could be unharmed in the pictures taken on him and Gulab when he suffered from a ”broken noose”. Like anyone would have taken the time to arrange a foto shoot BEFORE they flew out a soldier with a bunch of bullet holes in his body, or could the pictures by any chance have been taken later when he was healed up? 🤔 Suddenly you understand why some shoes are sold with velcro instead of shoelaces. 😵💫

Us special forces is not really special..if they are then why this happened
this sluggish, passive, wispy campfire commentary is unlistenable
Only 6 of shaws men died
Multiple thing are wrong here. That’s alright you thought what you were saying was factual because well that was the only thing out there. But recently after declass papers and court re opened documents and multiple eye witness de class.
Except Marcus ditched his team
😂😂😂
Damn
Covered his ears in the gunfight 😂
Lol🤣🤣yeah okay!🙄
If you call being seperated because an RPG blew them in different directions down a mountainside then yeah, I guess he did! Smh! 🙄
If they only would have executed the compromise…. They should have just risked it.
Real army were the one who fought not for the salary…to buy a pentiies perhaps…?
Luttrell ran. Story portrayed was all a lie. Deone footage of marcus running away like he had bitchitis
Wtf is going to remain stationed in unwinnable gunfight?!
@@lamasterbatonlll1383 he left his team. he had all his mags full when found. watch the ambush videos.
Not good video...don't watch
Lol
luttrells photo taken in the village wearing that afghan cloth hat after he was rescured shows his face without a scratch but he wrote that he broke his nose , smashed his face and lost all his gear . Gulab who rescured Luttrell said everyone in the valley heard the helicopter that inserted the seals and Amad Shah and his men were hunting the seals.Gulab also said Luttrell had 11 full magazines when he found him
When Gulab was eventually brought to america he was told to agree with anything Luttrell said.?!
when the rangers retrieved the dead bodies of the 3 seals no dead bodies of afghan fighters were seen or found ??
NO DOUBT the seals were brave men but in reality they were overwhelmed by about 7 afghans who had machine guns,rpgs and the higher ground and quickly killed 3 seals while LUTTRELL ESCAPED.
plenty of good research done on this story which was taken by the Navy and used as a propoganda tool to glorify the seals .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄
@@tom_thebomb have you read
Newsweek Mohammad Gulab article where Gulab tells his story ?
Have you read Victory Point ?
Have you googled Marcus Luttrell Red Wings controversy ?
No you haven’t because your to lazy to research anything, yet alone read something longer than a paragraph!
What you have done is watch a movie that you think is real ..Lone Survivor …
Your just a fan boy that believes in superheroes …pathetic
:38 No not "unGodly", against "allah" & that "allah" is not God
Poor babies. The SEALS became the cheerleaders in Afganistan as it was landlocked. But everyone wanted a piece of the pie. So they gave them some action and got their butts kicked by goat herders using obsolete weapons, with no air support.
I wonder how they would fare against real soldiers, like Russians?
Marcus Luttrell is a liar.

Double dose of your pills
You should have the respect to do the proper research to pronounce those men’s names right. Dietz (deets) and axelson not axelmon……
Imagine having had a female or two on that team!!! Naw I don’t even wanna imagine it, they would have crumbled long before these dudes did
Does any one else think Marcus ran away after seeing people on his team dead maybe and just started to run away. In the actual footage from the towel headband you here Murphy clear as day say Marcus come back help we need help help us. Come back Marcus help now add the fact he had all of his ammo 13 clips completely full makes you wonder then the fact the guy that rescued him calling him out on almost every thing one thing saying when finding him the taliban was aboutb7-9 killed north east from there position. Around Murphy body which wasn’t on a cliff it was in a open area where he ran to and eventually died not directly after making a call for help on the phone bytv15 minutes later. But Marcus said her was calling for him emeritalyvafter the call the 10 seconds later he dies no make no sense
