1
00:00:29,845 --> 00:00:31,612
All right, this is what's going on.
2
00:00:31,613 --> 00:00:34,315
Me, O'Bizzle-- O'Bizzle.
3
00:00:34,316 --> 00:00:36,517
- I got it, I got it, man I'm the narrator.
- O'Bizzle fo' shizzle.
4
00:00:36,518 --> 00:00:39,453
Me, Peebs, and Kim.
5
00:00:39,454 --> 00:00:41,856
Kim, you got something to say?
6
00:00:41,857 --> 00:00:43,891
- Yeah, you got something to say.
- Kim?
7
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:49,196
You all know tonight
is going to going to be crazy.
8
00:00:49,197 --> 00:00:51,065
Stupid crazy.
9
00:00:51,066 --> 00:00:53,267
What's your sole mission, O'Byrne?
10
00:00:53,268 --> 00:00:55,803
Man, to keep you out of hand.
11
00:00:55,804 --> 00:00:59,574
You can't--you can't tame the beast.
12
00:00:59,575 --> 00:01:01,943
Peebs, telI them. How do we roll?
13
00:01:01,944 --> 00:01:05,079
Got 'em. Got 'em.
14
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,782
Tune in next time
where we're going to be still loνing life
15
00:01:07,783 --> 00:01:10,751
and getting ready to go to war.
16
00:01:10,752 --> 00:01:12,753
- What?
- All right, baby.
17
00:01:12,754 --> 00:01:15,156
- War, Afghanistan, what?
- Say it again, baby, say it again.
18
00:01:15,157 --> 00:01:17,158
- I didn't eνen sign my passport.
- Baby.
19
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:19,727
- I didn't eνen sign my passport.
- We're going to war. We're going to war.
20
00:01:19,728 --> 00:01:21,729
We're going to war. We're going to war.
21
00:01:25,033 --> 00:01:27,034
Roger.
22
00:02:21,056 --> 00:02:23,024
Oh, we're fucking hit.
23
00:02:23,025 --> 00:02:25,226
- This is an lED, oνer.
- lED.
24
00:02:25,227 --> 00:02:27,628
- Keep going, keep going! Keep--
- What was that?
25
00:02:27,629 --> 00:02:29,630
- Shots.
- Eight o'clock.
26
00:02:29,631 --> 00:02:32,166
- Get on that gun!
- What are we doing?
27
00:02:32,167 --> 00:02:35,169
Aim for that draw! Right now!
28
00:02:35,170 --> 00:02:36,637
That way.
29
00:02:39,341 --> 00:02:41,976
We gotta get out. We gotta get out of here.
30
00:02:41,977 --> 00:02:43,644
We're getting out!
31
00:02:43,645 --> 00:02:45,646
Fucking motherfucker.
32
00:02:45,647 --> 00:02:49,316
Shot, eight o'clock. 300 meters.
33
00:02:49,317 --> 00:02:53,154
Shot, eight o'clock. 1 02 meters.
34
00:03:21,616 --> 00:03:23,617
You know what?
35
00:03:23,618 --> 00:03:26,253
When they told me
I was going to the Korengal Valley,
36
00:03:26,254 --> 00:03:29,490
l realIy didn't, uh, I didn't read
anything up on it. l didn't want to.
37
00:03:29,491 --> 00:03:31,525
I wanted to go in there with an open mind.
38
00:03:31,526 --> 00:03:35,463
The Colonel told me initially
they take fire eνery single day.
39
00:03:35,464 --> 00:03:38,265
I was like, God, how the hell do you take
fire eνery single day from somebody?
40
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,067
You got to go out there and go kill
the damn enemy.
41
00:03:40,068 --> 00:03:41,535
Quit being, you know, scared.
42
00:03:41,536 --> 00:03:43,437
Go out there and get 'em.
43
00:03:43,438 --> 00:03:46,240
And the Colonel and I
came up with, you know,
44
00:03:46,241 --> 00:03:48,943
what we thought was going to be
our campaign plan and that, uh,
45
00:03:48,944 --> 00:03:53,380
after two months of being there I would fix
it and that we wouldn't get shot at anymore.
46
00:04:58,213 --> 00:05:01,282
The νery first day, l remember coming in,
47
00:05:01,283 --> 00:05:03,584
and one of the pilots and stuff,
and they said, hey,
48
00:05:03,585 --> 00:05:06,487
if you look over there to your left,
uh, that's Pakistan.
49
00:05:06,488 --> 00:05:09,957
You know, and we're like, you know,
we all, okay, that's Pakistan.
50
00:05:09,958 --> 00:05:14,361
And then they're all mountains,
you know, high eleνation.
51
00:05:14,362 --> 00:05:18,232
And as you go in elevation,
it starts to get a little bit colder.
52
00:05:20,435 --> 00:05:22,570
And then we go up into the Korengal ValIey.
53
00:05:29,010 --> 00:05:33,314
I remember looking out the little bubble
windows on the side, kind of just like this,
54
00:05:33,315 --> 00:05:35,482
because I was right next to the window.
55
00:05:35,483 --> 00:05:41,222
And I could see when the Chinook
had made a hard right turn into the νalley.
56
00:05:41,223 --> 00:05:43,958
I was like, holy shit.
57
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:45,693
We're not ready for this.
58
00:05:45,694 --> 00:05:49,797
We flew around for about half- hour,
45 minutes above the KOP,
59
00:05:49,798 --> 00:05:52,533
and you're just looking down there,
60
00:05:52,534 --> 00:05:55,870
and you're like,
this is in the middle of nowhere right now.
61
00:05:55,871 --> 00:05:58,072
You're away from everything.
62
00:05:58,073 --> 00:06:04,778
Honestly, when I first got to the Korengal,
I was like, this is a shit hole.
63
00:06:04,779 --> 00:06:07,514
My mindset was Iike, oh snap,
I'm going to die here.
64
00:06:10,619 --> 00:06:15,022
l remember getting off the bird
and walking up the hill to the hooch.
65
00:06:15,023 --> 00:06:18,525
Hey, Jones, you guys standing up
right there, you're wrong.
66
00:06:18,526 --> 00:06:19,793
Come on, guys, better get moving.
67
00:06:20,929 --> 00:06:25,165
And just sucking...
68
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:27,534
and thinking what are we doing?
69
00:06:31,106 --> 00:06:36,510
It started getting dark,
and monkeys were howling,
70
00:06:36,511 --> 00:06:38,612
And l thought they were Taliban.
71
00:06:38,613 --> 00:06:42,950
And I thought, holy shit they're close.
72
00:06:42,951 --> 00:06:44,885
Everybody's like,
oh, you're going to the Korengal?
73
00:06:44,886 --> 00:06:46,820
And they feel sorry for you
and everything like that.
74
00:06:46,821 --> 00:06:48,923
I'm like, dude,
it can't be that bad, you know?
75
00:06:48,924 --> 00:06:51,992
I show up there
and you're burning your own feces.
76
00:06:51,993 --> 00:06:54,795
You know, you're living in a tent.
77
00:06:54,796 --> 00:06:59,366
I literally lived in a bunker, you know,
about that high, I couldn't even stand up in.
78
00:06:59,367 --> 00:07:02,369
See bullet holes all rattled into the Hescos
and when you look up, it's like,
79
00:07:02,370 --> 00:07:04,371
I don't even know why I have Hescos here
80
00:07:04,372 --> 00:07:08,208
because they're not going to stop the bullets
that are coming down from the mountains.
81
00:07:08,209 --> 00:07:14,014
So I felt like l was--
I was like fish in a barrel.
82
00:07:24,326 --> 00:07:28,295
They're gathering intel right now,
basically, on how to deal with us,
83
00:07:28,296 --> 00:07:32,900
because they haνen't--
there's no really research or intel
84
00:07:32,901 --> 00:07:35,536
on how to treat us right now,
85
00:07:35,537 --> 00:07:40,841
because they haven't had to deal with people
like us since World War lI and Vietnam,
86
00:07:40,842 --> 00:07:43,777
you know, dealing with guys that are
coming back from 1 5-month deployments
87
00:07:43,778 --> 00:07:46,914
with as much fighting,
you know, as we went through.
88
00:08:08,970 --> 00:08:12,539
Hey, go on that ridgeline, fucking now!
89
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,361
Hey, roger, I'm up here by OP four.
90
00:08:34,362 --> 00:08:37,664
We're scanning and if we have to,
we'll moνe into contact.
91
00:08:37,665 --> 00:08:40,000
I got myself, Riegel, and Thomas over here.
92
00:08:40,001 --> 00:08:42,469
Roger, oνer.
93
00:08:42,470 --> 00:08:45,005
Hey, I'm about to find this bastard,
and I'm going to kill him, over.
94
00:08:45,006 --> 00:08:47,808
Okay, roger.
So it's coming from 1 705 and 00.
95
00:08:47,809 --> 00:08:52,413
We should be firing on those here
right now, break.
96
00:08:52,414 --> 00:08:54,081
Hang it!
97
00:08:54,082 --> 00:08:56,383
Fire! Firing!
98
00:09:16,104 --> 00:09:20,374
The Korengal Outpost is at the 6-3 gridline,
and then the 6-2 gridIine--
99
00:09:20,375 --> 00:09:25,446
the insurgency has, like, drawn
this imaginary line in the sand there,
100
00:09:25,447 --> 00:09:27,448
and every time the guys
come out of Firebase Phoenix
101
00:09:27,449 --> 00:09:29,450
and they cross the 6-2 gridline,
102
00:09:29,451 --> 00:09:33,787
I mean, like, no shit, every time they cross
the 6-2 gridline, they get in contact.
103
00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:38,926
So I want to extend the security bubble,
because wherever I can place troops
104
00:09:38,927 --> 00:09:40,928
and wherever I can provide security
105
00:09:40,929 --> 00:09:43,797
is where l'm going to be able to
have an influence on the populace.
106
00:09:43,798 --> 00:09:48,535
The hard part is, is that they're so deeply
rooted down here because of family ties
107
00:09:48,536 --> 00:09:54,041
and because of religious ideals, that getting
these people to push out the insurgency
108
00:09:54,042 --> 00:09:57,578
and basically push out their family members
is going to be the hard part.
109
00:09:57,579 --> 00:10:02,015
Right now the road ends
at the Korengal Outpost,
110
00:10:02,016 --> 00:10:05,352
and where the road ends
is where the Taliban begins.
111
00:10:11,092 --> 00:10:14,394
We'νe been getting reports that they've been
watching us throughout the day,
112
00:10:14,395 --> 00:10:19,566
so the contact right now
I'd say is likeIy or imminent.
113
00:10:30,211 --> 00:10:33,046
- Good to see you.
- Move southeast. It's this way.
114
00:10:33,047 --> 00:10:35,382
Do you want chai?
115
00:10:35,383 --> 00:10:37,384
We don't have time to sit down
and have chai tonight.
116
00:10:37,385 --> 00:10:39,720
I just wanted to come in and talk to you
briefly about the project.
117
00:10:39,721 --> 00:10:42,990
How many people are you actually
going to use to build the project?
118
00:10:44,826 --> 00:10:46,493
What's up?
119
00:10:46,494 --> 00:10:48,495
You see that last house, to the right of it?
120
00:10:48,496 --> 00:10:51,698
Brownish fucking bush
about fucking 1 5, 20 meters to the right?
121
00:10:51,699 --> 00:10:52,833
Yeah?
122
00:10:52,834 --> 00:10:55,736
Someone turned around that corner,
saw us and went right back around, dude.
123
00:11:08,383 --> 00:11:11,185
We're going to be moving in darkness.
You're going to be lead, so...
124
00:11:11,186 --> 00:11:13,120
We could move now if you need to.
125
00:11:29,938 --> 00:11:31,939
Okay, spread out.
126
00:11:49,023 --> 00:11:51,258
I'm pushing up here.
127
00:11:51,259 --> 00:11:53,927
Whoa, a tracer came right by here!
128
00:11:59,734 --> 00:12:01,401
Hey!
129
00:12:01,402 --> 00:12:03,604
There's fire coming. They're shooting.
130
00:12:03,605 --> 00:12:05,405
Over there!
131
00:12:05,406 --> 00:12:07,741
Where? Oνer where?
Tell me, sir, tell me.
132
00:12:07,742 --> 00:12:09,676
Kim!
133
00:12:17,485 --> 00:12:20,354
The first friend I lost was Vimoto,
134
00:12:20,355 --> 00:12:23,457
and that was right at the beginning
of the deployment. That hit hard.
135
00:12:23,458 --> 00:12:28,295
And then a month after that, I Iost Restrepo.
136
00:12:28,296 --> 00:12:31,798
The day that Restrepo got killed,
137
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:34,701
it came across the net
that we had troops in contact.
138
00:12:34,702 --> 00:12:37,738
Then they called back in
and said that we have a casualty.
139
00:12:37,739 --> 00:12:40,540
I need you to give me fire, Cortez.
140
00:12:40,541 --> 00:12:46,346
We didn't know who it was, because nobody
was saying anything over the radio.
141
00:12:46,347 --> 00:12:47,581
When you hear someone's hit,
142
00:12:47,582 --> 00:12:49,783
your first reaction
is just like, fuck, like, no.
143
00:12:49,784 --> 00:12:54,721
And then you start going through your head
all the people that you know out there
144
00:12:54,722 --> 00:12:58,125
and wanting to eliminate your friends
and the people that were closest to you--
145
00:12:58,126 --> 00:13:01,795
you know, not this guy.
Not this guy. Not this guy.
146
00:13:03,865 --> 00:13:05,866
You know, your heart just sank.
147
00:13:05,867 --> 00:13:07,801
You were like, fuck.
148
00:13:07,802 --> 00:13:10,470
I mean, it was Doc Restrepo.
149
00:13:13,041 --> 00:13:15,942
He was shot in the neck twice...
150
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:22,249
but he was stable,
so that was a reIief for us.
151
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:24,718
We say, okay, he's going to be okay,
because we looked at him.
152
00:13:24,719 --> 00:13:27,654
when he gets on the aircraft,
he's still breathing.
153
00:13:27,655 --> 00:13:32,025
But he, it hit his, um, artery in his neck,
154
00:13:32,026 --> 00:13:34,027
and he bIed out.
155
00:13:34,028 --> 00:13:38,832
He bled out on the helicopter ride
to the emergency room
156
00:13:38,833 --> 00:13:41,568
where they take you when you get shot.
157
00:13:45,473 --> 00:13:48,208
- This is the big danger area right now.
- Okay.
158
00:13:48,209 --> 00:13:51,745
Because if we're here
and they start opening up on us...
159
00:13:51,746 --> 00:13:52,746
You're in between.
160
00:13:52,747 --> 00:13:57,818
But if we clear down, you guys could
use my weapons squad as an indicator
161
00:13:57,819 --> 00:14:00,220
for where they are,
and that's your right limit of fire, man.
162
00:14:00,221 --> 00:14:02,356
Shoot anything up the mountain.
163
00:14:02,357 --> 00:14:07,127
I would say since we haven't been down here
and we don't know what's in here,
164
00:14:07,128 --> 00:14:10,197
I'm going to fucking assume the worst,
because it's near Kalaygal,
165
00:14:10,198 --> 00:14:12,833
and that they have fortified fighting
positions throughout here.
166
00:14:12,834 --> 00:14:14,835
Okay.
167
00:14:14,836 --> 00:14:18,572
What were we doing in the Korengal?
168
00:14:18,573 --> 00:14:21,408
Our purpose in the Korengal--
they had a road,
169
00:14:21,409 --> 00:14:26,613
and the intent was this road to go through
the Korengal and go out to Chowkay Valley
170
00:14:26,614 --> 00:14:29,916
to be able to connect the locals
171
00:14:29,917 --> 00:14:33,687
where they can have an easy route
up towards the Pech Riνer Valley.
172
00:14:33,688 --> 00:14:39,025
And our job there was to try
to sustain the security for the personnel,
173
00:14:39,026 --> 00:14:41,461
to allow them to build that road.
174
00:14:41,462 --> 00:14:44,831
You know, fiνe, ten years from now,
175
00:14:44,832 --> 00:14:48,568
the Korengal Valley is going to haνe
a road going through it that's paνed.
176
00:14:48,569 --> 00:14:50,904
And we can make more money,
make you guys richer,
177
00:14:50,905 --> 00:14:54,074
make you guys more powerful.
What l need though,
178
00:14:54,075 --> 00:14:58,445
is l need you to join with the goνernment,
you know, provide us with that security
179
00:14:58,446 --> 00:15:01,181
or help us provide you guys
with that security.
180
00:15:01,182 --> 00:15:04,351
And I'll flood this whole place
with money and with projects
181
00:15:04,352 --> 00:15:06,586
and with healthcare and with everything.
182
00:15:22,403 --> 00:15:25,439
Remember last week when we said that
eνerything that happened in the past
183
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,308
when Captain McKnight was here--
we're kind of, like, wiping the slate clean.
184
00:15:28,309 --> 00:15:30,544
Captain Kearney's got a new slate.
185
00:15:35,917 --> 00:15:40,387
Let's put it behind, and let's get on
with what we've got to do now.
186
00:15:46,060 --> 00:15:50,964
Growing up in Oregon, I wasn't alIowed
to haνe sugar 'til I was, like, 1 3,
187
00:15:50,965 --> 00:15:55,235
because my mom was a fucking hippie.
188
00:15:55,236 --> 00:15:59,806
And she's always have us doing, like,
little hippie children things, I guess--
189
00:15:59,807 --> 00:16:07,347
making, like, homemade paper or painting
something or going, Iike, on nature walks.
190
00:16:07,348 --> 00:16:10,250
It was a nice childhood.
I just wasn't allowed to have toy guns
191
00:16:10,251 --> 00:16:13,253
or anything like that,
like boys should have, l guess--
192
00:16:13,254 --> 00:16:18,425
little toy guns or, like, violent video games
or watch any violent movies at all.
193
00:16:18,426 --> 00:16:23,497
Like l had a toy squirt gun that was
a turtle, and my parents took it away
194
00:16:23,498 --> 00:16:25,499
because it said "squirt gun"--
it had "gun" on there.
195
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:27,434
Fire!
196
00:16:46,187 --> 00:16:49,589
Right now priority...
197
00:16:56,597 --> 00:17:00,967
For the first few months of the deployment...
198
00:17:00,968 --> 00:17:03,904
we'd get rocked hard. They'd hit us from...
199
00:17:03,905 --> 00:17:08,708
They'd ambush us at 360 degrees.
200
00:17:08,709 --> 00:17:10,710
I remember thinking, you know, holy shit,
201
00:17:10,711 --> 00:17:14,114
did everybody from the entire country
come to this νalley?
202
00:17:14,115 --> 00:17:18,018
Is nobody else fighting anymore?
ls every bad guy in my face?
203
00:17:18,019 --> 00:17:21,688
Oh, shit!
204
00:17:21,689 --> 00:17:23,189
Motherfuckers.
205
00:17:23,190 --> 00:17:25,458
In the entire country of Afghanistan,
206
00:17:25,459 --> 00:17:30,630
we dropped something cIose
to 70 percent of all the ordinance.
207
00:17:30,631 --> 00:17:35,035
All the bombs that were dropped
at that particular time
208
00:17:35,036 --> 00:17:37,037
were dropped in the Korengal Valley.
209
00:17:37,038 --> 00:17:39,539
As CNN dubbed it one day
when Bush saw it
210
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:41,942
and said, you know,
the ugliest place on Earth--
211
00:17:41,943 --> 00:17:43,944
the Korengal Valley.
212
00:17:43,945 --> 00:17:49,316
But to my family,
I never really told them much
213
00:17:49,317 --> 00:17:52,018
until about halfway into the deployment.
214
00:17:53,454 --> 00:17:55,488
I didn't tell them when Vimoto died.
215
00:17:55,489 --> 00:17:58,391
I didn't tell them
when Sergeant Padilla lost his arm.
216
00:17:58,392 --> 00:18:03,163
I didn't tell them when Pisec got shot.
I didn't tell them when Restrepo got killed.
217
00:18:03,164 --> 00:18:07,167
And then when Restrepo got killed was
a few days before my mom's birthday also.
218
00:18:07,168 --> 00:18:12,772
So I had to... I had to suck it up
when I called my mom on her birthday
219
00:18:12,773 --> 00:18:17,978
and act like everything was okay and say
"Hey, Mom, happy birthday," you know,
220
00:18:17,979 --> 00:18:21,381
like, "Yeah, I am doing really good out here,
everything's fine."
221
00:18:41,168 --> 00:18:45,805
The change came when we in OP Restrepo.
222
00:18:45,806 --> 00:18:49,342
In the middle of the night we put up
a firebase on top of the place
223
00:18:49,343 --> 00:18:55,982
that they had used as their enemy kinetic,
you know, point of attack,
224
00:18:55,983 --> 00:19:00,587
or of origin of their attack,
for the last 1 5 months.
225
00:19:02,223 --> 00:19:07,394
We walked up the Spur
with shovels and picks.
226
00:19:07,395 --> 00:19:11,865
We worked all though the night just
to make a small semicircle to chill in.
227
00:19:11,866 --> 00:19:15,435
We slept for maybe a couple hours each,
started doing it again.
228
00:19:15,436 --> 00:19:19,839
That day we got in five, seven firefights.
229
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,541
Everybody good?
230
00:19:21,542 --> 00:19:25,111
- Yeah, we're gonna--
- Yeah!
231
00:19:25,112 --> 00:19:27,113
We'd dig. They'd shoot at us.
232
00:19:27,114 --> 00:19:29,783
They'd see us digging,
building this new place. They'd shoot.
233
00:19:29,784 --> 00:19:33,353
We'd shoot back. Once it lulled down,
we started digging again.
234
00:19:33,354 --> 00:19:37,023
When the boys built that base,
235
00:19:37,024 --> 00:19:41,561
the Taliban, or the AAF forces in the valley,
they were completely in shock.
236
00:19:41,562 --> 00:19:44,564
It was like a middle finger sticking out.
237
00:19:44,565 --> 00:19:51,004
And they realized once they could not knock
off OP Restrepo, we had the upper hand.
238
00:19:51,005 --> 00:19:53,506
They started becoming afraid.
239
00:19:53,507 --> 00:19:55,608
Eat some, turban head!
240
00:19:55,609 --> 00:19:58,511
Hey, hit the bottom right.
Hit the bottom right of the village.
241
00:19:58,512 --> 00:20:01,181
- Get this!
- Bottom right. Go right more.
242
00:20:08,055 --> 00:20:11,157
Hey, Solo, that's you.
I'm not shooting over eνerybody.
243
00:20:11,158 --> 00:20:15,562
- Let's go, let's go!
- He's down in the draw!
244
00:20:15,563 --> 00:20:17,564
- He's down in the draw.
- Down in the draw.
245
00:20:17,565 --> 00:20:19,499
How cIose?
246
00:20:39,954 --> 00:20:41,955
Buno, get your coms up.
247
00:20:45,726 --> 00:20:48,061
Make sure you got fucking SAW
and a .203 with you.
248
00:20:48,062 --> 00:20:51,331
- You're taking Wilson, Cortez.
- Cortez.
249
00:20:51,332 --> 00:20:53,266
Don't worry, I'll...
250
00:20:59,607 --> 00:21:03,143
Don't worry. There's very few
that l just straight up hope don't make it.
251
00:21:08,816 --> 00:21:13,853
A month or two into it, it was still
a shitty pIace. We were covered in dirt,
252
00:21:13,854 --> 00:21:19,793
digging all the time, getting in firefights,
like four or five firefights a day.
253
00:21:19,794 --> 00:21:26,366
And so we--the majority of us really didn't
feel like it should be called OP Restrepo.
254
00:21:26,367 --> 00:21:29,536
it was just a shitty place. It was just...
255
00:21:29,537 --> 00:21:34,507
It just didn't resemble
the type of person that he was.
256
00:21:59,567 --> 00:22:01,501
Scuffing up my notes.
257
00:22:10,678 --> 00:22:14,447
Feels like longer than forever, yeah
258
00:22:14,448 --> 00:22:18,585
My home is now a distant land
259
00:22:18,586 --> 00:22:22,322
If l had one wish, I wish I could be
260
00:22:22,323 --> 00:22:26,359
Back on that rock
in the middIe of the sea
261
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:30,163
My heart is calIing me to the islands
262
00:22:30,164 --> 00:22:34,467
Blue skies and tropical breeze
263
00:22:34,468 --> 00:22:38,571
I want to go back home
264
00:22:38,572 --> 00:22:42,308
Swim in the Pacific sea
265
00:22:42,309 --> 00:22:44,310
You can take the boy from the island
266
00:22:46,313 --> 00:22:48,114
But not the island from the boy
267
00:22:50,217 --> 00:22:51,818
The island stays in your heart
268
00:22:54,288 --> 00:23:01,828
I'll neνer forget where l'm from
269
00:23:01,829 --> 00:23:03,229
Oh, no, I'll never forget
270
00:23:06,233 --> 00:23:09,202
Where l'm from
271
00:23:45,272 --> 00:23:47,874
Sir. How you doing, sir?
Good to see you again.
272
00:23:47,875 --> 00:23:48,975
Good seeing you again.
273
00:23:48,976 --> 00:23:51,678
Welcome to the KOP.
I'd like to take you up over there, sir,
274
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:54,380
maybe just try to give you
the once over the world here.
275
00:23:54,381 --> 00:23:57,684
This is the southern Korengal.
276
00:23:57,685 --> 00:24:00,420
This is, uh, l guess you could call it,
this is the war zone.
277
00:24:00,421 --> 00:24:02,422
This is where it's all happening.
278
00:24:02,423 --> 00:24:06,326
This is where the majority of the population
of the Korengal lives
279
00:24:06,327 --> 00:24:09,095
and probably about 90% of the fighting.
280
00:24:09,096 --> 00:24:13,132
If you look just to the south here
to that third spur that ¤ou see down there,
281
00:24:13,133 --> 00:24:17,470
which is caIled Honcho Hill, that is like
the enemy--I guess you could say--
282
00:24:17,471 --> 00:24:19,472
limit of advance for us.
283
00:24:19,473 --> 00:24:21,741
Like, we can't go
any further south than that.
284
00:24:21,742 --> 00:24:23,142
- What do you call it--Honcho?
- Honcho Hill.
285
00:24:24,411 --> 00:24:26,946
- Honcho Hill.
- You follow that spur,
286
00:24:26,947 --> 00:24:28,915
and you go all the way up here,
Sergeant Major,
287
00:24:28,916 --> 00:24:31,617
- and you might be able to see that--
- The tip of the...
288
00:24:31,618 --> 00:24:34,287
that top of the OP.
You can see all the bee huts and stuff.
289
00:24:34,288 --> 00:24:36,222
That's OP Restrepo.
290
00:24:36,223 --> 00:24:40,326
Everything south of that
is the enemy sanctuary.
291
00:24:40,327 --> 00:24:45,264
Battle 6, Battle 2-5 ,
I have around 1 5 up near Restrepo.
292
00:24:45,265 --> 00:24:49,202
Nothing out of the ordinary as far
as movement in the southwest today.
293
00:24:49,203 --> 00:24:54,173
Nothing but women and children
out tending to the fields and crops.
294
00:24:54,174 --> 00:24:59,812
Enemy assessment--we'νe got the AAF
are in the final stages to start their attack
295
00:24:59,813 --> 00:25:02,882
and moving and getting everything in place.
296
00:25:02,883 --> 00:25:07,253
Last 24, conduct a movement
to contact into Loy Kalay,
297
00:25:07,254 --> 00:25:12,325
separate the AAF from the populace
in order to spread new lO themes.
298
00:25:28,609 --> 00:25:31,778
Hey, Cunningham, on a side note,
how's the fam?
299
00:25:34,181 --> 00:25:37,216
How's the what?
300
00:25:37,217 --> 00:25:39,452
- The fam.
- The family?
301
00:25:39,453 --> 00:25:41,054
Billy.
302
00:25:41,055 --> 00:25:43,322
Good. They're pretty good.
303
00:25:46,460 --> 00:25:49,562
Were they happy to see your crazy self?
304
00:25:49,563 --> 00:25:52,799
Yeah, yeah, it was a good time, man.
305
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,468
Got to hang out at the ranch
and everything like that, you know?
306
00:25:55,469 --> 00:25:58,104
Got to see pretty much everyone
in the family almost.
307
00:26:00,507 --> 00:26:04,177
Your family owns a ranch?
308
00:26:04,178 --> 00:26:07,046
Of course.
309
00:26:07,047 --> 00:26:11,350
Like cows and pigs and chickens
and horses ranch?
310
00:26:11,351 --> 00:26:12,985
No.
311
00:26:12,986 --> 00:26:15,555
Like what kind of ranch, then?
312
00:26:23,030 --> 00:26:26,299
It's like a ranch
just with like land, you know,
313
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:29,001
with gates and stuff and trucks and whatnot.
314
00:26:29,002 --> 00:26:32,271
Some guns, some wildlife,
you know, that you shoot at.
315
00:26:33,941 --> 00:26:37,944
Okay, so it's just a whole bunch of land
that they kill stuff on.
316
00:26:39,246 --> 00:26:42,315
Yeah. It's kind of like this.
317
00:26:42,316 --> 00:26:46,552
Yeah, but we're not hunting animals,
we're hunting people.
318
00:26:52,726 --> 00:26:54,727
Hearts and minds.
319
00:26:56,763 --> 00:26:58,264
Fucking feed tray.
320
00:26:58,265 --> 00:27:01,267
Yeah. We'll take their hearts,
and we'll take their minds.
321
00:27:08,208 --> 00:27:11,811
All right, listen up. Today we're going
to conduct a movement to contact.
322
00:27:11,812 --> 00:27:15,314
The purpose is to talk to the locals
about some lO themes,
323
00:27:15,315 --> 00:27:17,316
as far as the road construction team
coming in.
324
00:27:17,317 --> 00:27:19,819
Get some workers from their village
to take part in that.
325
00:27:19,820 --> 00:27:23,489
Talk about the cow incident.
326
00:27:23,490 --> 00:27:25,992
- Also...
- It was delicious.
327
00:27:25,993 --> 00:27:30,096
Talk about anything out of the ordinary
as far as AAF moving in through their area.
328
00:27:30,097 --> 00:27:32,298
See if they can give us
any information on that.
329
00:27:32,299 --> 00:27:34,834
Anyone have any questions?
330
00:27:38,305 --> 00:27:42,808
Guys, it's gonna suck, but I'm going
to work you guys into the ground.
331
00:27:42,809 --> 00:27:45,711
I need you guys to go out there
and do a patrol in the village
332
00:27:45,712 --> 00:27:47,980
because l need you to keep
the enemy off his toes.
333
00:27:47,981 --> 00:27:50,449
l need you to go out there
and push the enemy back
334
00:27:50,450 --> 00:27:52,285
so we can buy some white space,
335
00:27:52,286 --> 00:27:54,320
so you guys can go back up there
and work your asses off
336
00:27:54,321 --> 00:27:57,356
filling up these sandbags
so that you guys, when do get hit,
337
00:27:57,357 --> 00:27:59,959
you get hit but you got
something to hide behind.
338
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:04,497
And the best defense is
who has the greater offense.
339
00:28:08,302 --> 00:28:10,369
3-3-4.
340
00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:13,839
6-1 -4-9.
341
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,577
Elevation 1 -5-7-9.
342
00:28:17,578 --> 00:28:21,180
And we are set in Koringal.
343
00:29:26,647 --> 00:29:27,880
What's your father do?
344
00:29:30,717 --> 00:29:35,021
A shepherd? What do you do?
Are you a shepherd, too?
345
00:29:37,090 --> 00:29:39,659
Let me see your hands.
Your hands.
346
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:41,861
He's got pretty clean hands
for being a goat herder.
347
00:29:50,270 --> 00:29:52,471
Where'd you get that watch, man?
348
00:29:52,472 --> 00:29:54,940
You guys got a lot of goats?
349
00:29:54,941 --> 00:29:57,810
60 goats.
350
00:29:57,811 --> 00:30:00,313
60 goats?
That's pretty wealthy, right, Abdul?
351
00:30:00,314 --> 00:30:01,947
Yeah.
352
00:30:01,948 --> 00:30:05,017
Well, what do you know about
the people in Kalaygal?
353
00:30:14,861 --> 00:30:16,862
He says...
354
00:30:23,437 --> 00:30:26,906
Roger, we haven't found
anybody else to talk to.
355
00:30:26,907 --> 00:30:29,108
We're going to start pushing back now.
356
00:30:29,109 --> 00:30:32,878
Hey, 2-2, this is Bravo 1 .
Start pushing out towards the trail.
357
00:30:45,392 --> 00:30:47,393
Oh, fuck.
358
00:31:08,148 --> 00:31:10,316
What have they got?
359
00:31:10,317 --> 00:31:12,551
Oh, I guess a guy running.
360
00:31:12,552 --> 00:31:14,553
- A guy running?
- Yeah.
361
00:31:14,554 --> 00:31:16,021
Hey, Liz!
362
00:31:18,091 --> 00:31:20,659
Lookit. See?
363
00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:23,129
We've seen a guy run from that house
once or twice before.
364
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:25,131
I just don't like the way it is.
365
00:31:25,132 --> 00:31:27,867
I don't like how it feels right now.
366
00:31:27,868 --> 00:31:30,669
You want him watching towards
the village or down in the draw?
367
00:31:30,670 --> 00:31:34,106
- Towards the back side of the house.
- Watch the back side of the house.
368
00:31:41,815 --> 00:31:43,816
Hey!
369
00:31:46,453 --> 00:31:50,956
Sit down.
370
00:32:06,206 --> 00:32:10,009
They found a BDU top.
I'νe got eyes on it right now, over.
371
00:32:15,081 --> 00:32:19,185
Hey, keep on searching
this whole house. Search.
372
00:32:19,186 --> 00:32:22,721
Yeah, yeah, like this, good. Okay.
373
00:32:22,722 --> 00:32:26,525
Who does this belong to?
374
00:32:26,526 --> 00:32:28,928
Never mind.
375
00:32:28,929 --> 00:32:31,063
Hey...
376
00:32:42,108 --> 00:32:45,544
"lf I go with you,
I'm not going to go with you right now.
377
00:32:45,545 --> 00:32:49,114
- I will come back to the KOP."
- No, no, he's going--he's coming with us.
378
00:32:49,115 --> 00:32:51,350
This guy, he was already at the house.
379
00:32:51,351 --> 00:32:55,454
This guy came up later, saw us,
and starting taking off running.
380
00:32:55,455 --> 00:32:59,458
I got him, and ever since he started doing
what he's doing now.
381
00:33:02,195 --> 00:33:06,465
Hey, tell these guys I'm gonna sit them
in my truck, they need to sit on their hands.
382
00:33:09,903 --> 00:33:13,906
Right now what we're tracking
came in the valley on April the 1 1 th.
383
00:33:13,907 --> 00:33:19,845
There's fifteen 1 07-milimeter rockets,
several cases of PKM and AK ammo.
384
00:33:19,846 --> 00:33:22,381
The fear is always there,
385
00:33:22,382 --> 00:33:25,618
especially at night when you can't
see what's coming at you.
386
00:33:27,254 --> 00:33:32,725
When we started there, we only had
maybe fourteen guys up there.
387
00:33:32,726 --> 00:33:34,560
I mean, it doesn't take much.
388
00:33:34,561 --> 00:33:38,831
A few automatic weapons will keep,
you know, a squad pinned down,
389
00:33:38,832 --> 00:33:43,035
whiIe they could easily come up
from a side and flank you
390
00:33:43,036 --> 00:33:46,338
and, you know, go basically clear house.
391
00:33:46,339 --> 00:33:48,741
Nobody's going to help you.
You're in no man's land.
392
00:33:48,742 --> 00:33:53,279
The KOP is only seven hundred,
eight hundred meters away,
393
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,982
but that might as well be
in a different country
394
00:33:56,983 --> 00:33:58,651
because they're not getting to you.
395
00:33:59,653 --> 00:34:00,920
Not in time.
396
00:34:22,142 --> 00:34:23,876
KOP's taking indirect right now.
397
00:34:25,478 --> 00:34:26,812
KOP's taking indirect.
398
00:34:38,692 --> 00:34:41,026
Can't see shit what they're doing.
399
00:34:41,027 --> 00:34:43,362
Day sight. lt's something.
400
00:34:43,363 --> 00:34:44,697
Better than anything else we got.
401
00:34:44,698 --> 00:34:47,633
I need more fucking 240 here!
402
00:34:47,634 --> 00:34:49,935
One's by KaringaI, the other's by Dallas.
403
00:34:56,610 --> 00:34:58,010
Right up there.
404
00:35:04,250 --> 00:35:05,584
The birds we love.
405
00:35:10,523 --> 00:35:14,026
Okay, roger, he's pretty much worked
the Honcho Hill ridge.
406
00:35:14,027 --> 00:35:19,198
Want to push him southeast up to 3-0,
just southeast of that.
407
00:35:25,705 --> 00:35:27,906
Big firefight, great.
408
00:35:27,907 --> 00:35:31,744
Fucking packing up rounds.
That was fun, though, man, that was fun.
409
00:35:32,779 --> 00:35:34,780
You can't get a better high.
410
00:35:34,781 --> 00:35:36,415
It's like crack, you know?
411
00:35:36,416 --> 00:35:39,284
You can sky diνe or bungee jump
or do, you know, kayak,
412
00:35:39,285 --> 00:35:42,354
but once you've been shot at,
you really can't come down.
413
00:35:42,355 --> 00:35:43,956
There's nothing, you can't top that.
414
00:35:43,957 --> 00:35:45,824
How are you going to go back
to the civilian worId then?
415
00:35:45,825 --> 00:35:47,493
I have no idea.
416
00:35:49,729 --> 00:35:51,196
Hey, did you hear me go cyclic?
417
00:35:51,197 --> 00:35:53,332
- I had the barrel smoked!
- Did you hear me?
418
00:35:53,333 --> 00:35:56,135
Yeah, what the fuck was that first
batch about, cuz?
419
00:35:56,136 --> 00:35:57,736
You was crazy as shit with that.
420
00:35:57,737 --> 00:36:01,740
Hey, soon as I popped my head up,
holy-- Guess who.
421
00:36:01,741 --> 00:36:04,009
And you just slid down the stairs.
422
00:36:04,010 --> 00:36:06,378
- Common game planning. l was like...
- Get down!
423
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,434
The flight path over...
424
00:36:36,643 --> 00:36:38,143
He's an exceIlent cook,
425
00:36:38,144 --> 00:36:41,380
by far the best cook in the Korengal,
definitely.
426
00:36:41,381 --> 00:36:43,082
Came up to Restrepo one time,
427
00:36:43,083 --> 00:36:47,586
cooked us fresh cow,
same-day cow.
428
00:36:47,587 --> 00:36:48,587
That was a good day.
429
00:36:56,362 --> 00:36:59,798
Jonesie, you want another grill, man?
You all right?
430
00:36:59,799 --> 00:37:02,167
No, l don't like to fuck on a full stomach.
431
00:37:05,939 --> 00:37:08,307
Dude, we're on TV.
432
00:37:08,308 --> 00:37:12,811
Come in here for the real thing.
433
00:37:12,812 --> 00:37:15,180
Don't fight it, don't fight it.
434
00:37:32,565 --> 00:37:34,700
Why don't they mess
with you anymore, man?
435
00:37:34,701 --> 00:37:38,370
I was one of the first ones
that got messed with to begin with.
436
00:37:38,371 --> 00:37:40,572
Well, look at him, look how sexy he is.
I mean, look at this guy.
437
00:37:40,573 --> 00:37:42,975
He's a beautiful man.
I'd fuck him back in the States.
438
00:38:11,738 --> 00:38:14,139
Let's talk about the road
between Omar and Kandalay.
439
00:38:22,148 --> 00:38:23,382
What guy?
440
00:38:24,784 --> 00:38:26,585
Who did we detain?
441
00:38:26,586 --> 00:38:29,521
He says that you detain a guy.
442
00:38:29,522 --> 00:38:32,257
Haji Se, Haji Se.
443
00:38:32,258 --> 00:38:35,494
Naiim was dropped off
444
00:38:35,495 --> 00:38:39,565
by another local in Kalaygal
445
00:38:39,566 --> 00:38:41,366
who told us that he was bad
446
00:38:41,367 --> 00:38:45,003
and that he was working with Sadikula
447
00:38:45,004 --> 00:38:47,172
in the--
448
00:38:47,173 --> 00:38:51,009
what the fuck is Sadikula
in charge of, Rudy, the Mujahadeen?
449
00:38:51,010 --> 00:38:52,644
Yeah, he's working with the Muj.
450
00:38:52,645 --> 00:38:55,080
And, he was working
with the Mujahadeen.
451
00:38:55,081 --> 00:38:58,217
I told you guys from the νery get go
452
00:38:58,218 --> 00:39:01,220
that if somebody says that they're bad,
I have to inνestigate it.
453
00:39:01,221 --> 00:39:04,489
So now NDS is talking to him.
He's not in jail.
454
00:39:04,490 --> 00:39:06,658
He's not being treated bad,
455
00:39:06,659 --> 00:39:09,294
he's being talked to
and asked questions.
456
00:39:09,295 --> 00:39:12,531
I think we've been pretty upfront
about how we handle people
457
00:39:12,532 --> 00:39:14,433
that we talk to and question.
458
00:39:14,434 --> 00:39:16,034
We'νe been pretty fair.
459
00:39:16,035 --> 00:39:18,937
l'm not like Jim McKnight
where l take aIl these guys
460
00:39:18,938 --> 00:39:21,707
and stick them in Bagram
and they never come back.
461
00:39:28,014 --> 00:39:31,416
He says were happy you're here,
you're doing very well,
462
00:39:31,417 --> 00:39:33,585
but he's saying that you detained
Mohammed Youssef before,
463
00:39:33,586 --> 00:39:36,889
now Mohammed Youssef
didn't come back.
464
00:39:36,890 --> 00:39:38,991
Rudy, who the fuck
is Mohammed Youssef?
465
00:39:38,992 --> 00:39:42,194
Mohammed Kalam's son,
the guy that cut the worker's heads off.
466
00:39:42,195 --> 00:39:45,397
That's because I saw the video
where he cut their heads off.
467
00:39:49,769 --> 00:39:51,370
I saw him do it.
468
00:39:53,873 --> 00:39:55,974
I saw him with my own two eyes.
469
00:40:01,648 --> 00:40:04,116
You're not understanding
that I don't fucking care.
470
00:40:06,419 --> 00:40:09,054
And the thing that's sad to me is that as
much as Captain Kearney go down there
471
00:40:09,055 --> 00:40:11,156
and conduct different Shuras
472
00:40:11,157 --> 00:40:14,726
and tell them about the positives
about what we can do to help them,
473
00:40:14,727 --> 00:40:16,528
it seemed like it didn't go anywhere.
474
00:40:16,529 --> 00:40:19,164
You know?
It seemed Iike everything that he-
475
00:40:19,165 --> 00:40:20,432
We took one step forward
476
00:40:20,433 --> 00:40:22,301
and it seemed like
they took two steps backwards.
477
00:40:41,654 --> 00:40:44,690
We've got three village elders
just come down and they want to talk.
478
00:40:44,691 --> 00:40:47,793
Not sure what they want
to talk about yet.
479
00:40:47,794 --> 00:40:49,261
It's a good sign.
480
00:40:49,262 --> 00:40:51,530
It's the first time it's happened
up here at OP Restrepo.
481
00:40:51,531 --> 00:40:52,731
We've had people come in--
482
00:40:52,732 --> 00:40:56,134
elders come in and say before
that they wanted to provide some information,
483
00:40:56,135 --> 00:40:58,503
but never shown up to us,
you know, come back and talk to us.
484
00:40:58,504 --> 00:41:01,506
So this is a positive sign.
485
00:41:01,507 --> 00:41:03,608
Do you hear about the cow that--
486
00:41:03,609 --> 00:41:06,378
- The cow?
- Yeah, the US soldiers kill it.
487
00:41:06,379 --> 00:41:08,013
- They killed--
- Yeah.
488
00:41:08,014 --> 00:41:10,148
So they came because of that.
489
00:41:10,149 --> 00:41:13,885
They want to get information
about the cow that--
490
00:41:13,886 --> 00:41:15,387
He is the owner of cow.
491
00:41:15,388 --> 00:41:18,690
All right, the cow?
The reason why we killed it
492
00:41:18,691 --> 00:41:21,426
because it ran into our constantine wire
493
00:41:21,427 --> 00:41:25,530
and it was mangled
inside the constantine wire,
494
00:41:25,531 --> 00:41:28,066
so we had to kill it
to put it out of its misery
495
00:41:28,067 --> 00:41:31,269
because if we would have got it out,
it would have been useless.
496
00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:34,706
- That's why we killed it.
- They are asking because it was illegal.
497
00:41:34,707 --> 00:41:36,775
- lIlegal?
- Yeah, illegal.
498
00:41:36,776 --> 00:41:38,844
- To kill it?
- Yeah.
499
00:41:42,515 --> 00:41:44,883
- What do you want to do?
- Just tell them.
500
00:41:44,884 --> 00:41:46,818
What do they want us
to do about the cow?
501
00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:59,398
Do they want to be
reimbursed somehow or--
502
00:41:59,399 --> 00:42:03,635
He says that it is up to you,
if you want to pay money for that or--
503
00:42:03,636 --> 00:42:06,605
How much does a cow cost?
504
00:42:06,606 --> 00:42:08,774
It's going to be like four
or five hundred dollars,
505
00:42:08,775 --> 00:42:12,711
which is going to be twenty,
twenty five thousand Afghani, oνer.
506
00:42:14,847 --> 00:42:16,314
Did we kiIl this cow?
507
00:42:18,384 --> 00:42:21,520
Well, it was tangled up in a wire,
pretty much dead.
508
00:42:21,521 --> 00:42:24,456
324 ended up cutting it up. Over.
509
00:42:32,665 --> 00:42:35,734
We're not going to be able
to give him money in exchange for his cow.
510
00:42:35,735 --> 00:42:40,272
But what we can give him
is the rice, the beans, the sugar.
511
00:42:46,813 --> 00:42:48,814
Now, the HA that they will receive
512
00:42:48,815 --> 00:42:52,017
is going to be, you know,
the weight of the cow.
513
00:42:52,018 --> 00:42:53,985
Whatever the weight of the cow was
514
00:42:53,986 --> 00:42:58,723
will be the weight of return of HA
as far as rice, beans, sugar.
515
00:43:12,105 --> 00:43:13,638
- ls that good?
- They want money.
516
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:17,776
We're not going to be able
to give them the money.
517
00:43:17,777 --> 00:43:20,612
If that's all he came for,
he's not going to get it.
518
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:30,989
626 perstat, I have 20 at Restrepo,
519
00:43:30,990 --> 00:43:33,492
1 5 at the KOP, 4 at OP1 ,
520
00:43:33,493 --> 00:43:34,793
4 on leave,
521
00:43:34,794 --> 00:43:36,495
6 ANA and one terp
522
00:43:36,496 --> 00:43:38,730
at Restrepo, break.
523
00:43:38,731 --> 00:43:41,500
Talk louder, nobody
can hear you down here, over.
524
00:43:42,568 --> 00:43:45,003
626 perstat,
525
00:43:45,004 --> 00:43:46,805
I have 20 at Restrepo,
526
00:43:46,806 --> 00:43:48,306
1 5 at the KOP,
527
00:43:48,307 --> 00:43:49,741
4 at OP1 ,
528
00:43:49,742 --> 00:43:50,709
4 on leave,
529
00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:52,077
1 photo journalist,
530
00:43:52,078 --> 00:43:53,245
6 ANA, and 1 terp--
531
00:43:53,246 --> 00:43:54,746
I didn't know they had algebra two.
532
00:43:59,152 --> 00:44:02,554
Yeah! Burning the poop!
533
00:44:02,555 --> 00:44:04,923
Got the black man
on the burning the poop detail.
534
00:44:04,924 --> 00:44:08,660
Hey, man, just watch yourself, God damn it.
535
00:44:08,661 --> 00:44:12,931
Second platoon killed that cow
and now I gotta pay for it.
536
00:44:12,932 --> 00:44:15,467
I still wanna see Spanky
and Vaughn go at it.
537
00:44:15,468 --> 00:44:19,871
- Vaughn would fucking destroy Spanky.
- Let's go get him.
538
00:44:19,872 --> 00:44:21,039
Vaughn!
539
00:44:23,743 --> 00:44:26,178
Vaughn, you're going
to beat Spanky's ass!
540
00:44:26,179 --> 00:44:28,079
He's coming up here,
you better not lose.
541
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,781
Dude, if you lose, so help me God.
542
00:44:29,782 --> 00:44:32,217
It's going to reflect poorly
on me if you lose.
543
00:44:32,218 --> 00:44:34,419
You better not let
that cherry bitch beat you.
544
00:44:35,621 --> 00:44:38,557
Make him tough.
Get him, get him.
545
00:44:38,558 --> 00:44:40,492
- Vaughn.
- What's up, dude?
546
00:44:43,563 --> 00:44:47,499
- Come on, fight back!
- You're such a little bitch.
547
00:44:51,804 --> 00:44:53,572
All right, go ahead.
548
00:44:53,573 --> 00:44:56,007
- Stretch them out.
- What the fuck, Spanky?
549
00:44:56,008 --> 00:44:58,643
You gonna let him
fucking manhandIe you?
550
00:44:58,644 --> 00:45:01,446
- Let him get tired.
- Flip over, man.
551
00:45:03,816 --> 00:45:05,217
Yeah, there you go!
552
00:45:08,721 --> 00:45:09,988
Nice, there you go.
553
00:45:09,989 --> 00:45:11,256
You suck!
554
00:45:13,292 --> 00:45:16,294
Battle of the cherries.
555
00:45:16,295 --> 00:45:17,696
We're not talking about cherry
in the army either,
556
00:45:17,697 --> 00:45:18,997
we're talking about cherry at life.
557
00:45:18,998 --> 00:45:21,466
Vaughn here is νery cherry at life.
558
00:45:21,467 --> 00:45:24,135
But we're making him into a man.
559
00:45:24,136 --> 00:45:26,238
That's all that's important here.
560
00:45:30,176 --> 00:45:32,444
...we talked about the road being built.
561
00:45:32,445 --> 00:45:35,013
Continued to hear from the elders
562
00:45:35,014 --> 00:45:38,116
that they don't want
to give up any workers,
563
00:45:38,117 --> 00:45:41,186
despite what it is that you
all have been telling me.
564
00:45:41,187 --> 00:45:46,157
So if you guys get these local--
that are willing to do that
565
00:45:46,158 --> 00:45:48,593
to come and start getting
them jobs immediately,
566
00:45:48,594 --> 00:45:51,129
to bypass all the elder--
567
00:45:51,130 --> 00:45:54,032
l don't think--
I think they're just--
568
00:45:54,033 --> 00:45:57,502
If we realIy fucked them up
like they said,
569
00:45:57,503 --> 00:46:00,238
then they are just chilling,
trying to recuperate.
570
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,440
It's just like what we would be doing.
571
00:46:02,441 --> 00:46:05,644
You know, seven--
eight dudes wounded,
572
00:46:05,645 --> 00:46:08,480
I mean seven dudes wounded,
one dude dead,
573
00:46:08,481 --> 00:46:11,683
we wouldn't be going out strong.
574
00:46:11,684 --> 00:46:14,819
We'd be resting at Blessing right now.
575
00:46:14,820 --> 00:46:16,521
You know what I mean?
576
00:46:16,522 --> 00:46:21,226
That's what I think
they're doing-- resting.
577
00:46:21,227 --> 00:46:23,028
Are you wondering why it is so quiet?
578
00:46:23,029 --> 00:46:25,230
Yeah, it's got me baffled right now.
579
00:46:25,231 --> 00:46:26,765
Baffled or worried?
580
00:46:26,766 --> 00:46:29,200
Just confused.
I am at a Ioss for words right now.
581
00:46:29,201 --> 00:46:31,036
He's worried.
582
00:46:31,037 --> 00:46:32,604
He's worried. He's scared.
583
00:46:37,710 --> 00:46:39,411
Most scared.
584
00:46:39,412 --> 00:46:40,879
Or worried. Whatever.
585
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,514
Yeah.
586
00:46:42,515 --> 00:46:44,783
I'd have to say Rock Avalanche.
587
00:46:44,784 --> 00:46:47,185
If l had to pick a moment,
588
00:46:47,186 --> 00:46:48,553
I'd probably say Rock Avalanche.
589
00:46:48,554 --> 00:46:53,458
Operation Rock Avalanche
was the low point for me personally.
590
00:46:53,459 --> 00:46:55,327
I saw a lot of professional
tough guys
591
00:46:55,328 --> 00:46:57,162
get weak in the knees.
592
00:46:59,131 --> 00:47:02,400
I'll go ahead and orient you guys
to the different LZs that are out there.
593
00:47:02,401 --> 00:47:05,870
Up on Divpat where the C2 element
will be located is LZ Cubs.
594
00:47:05,871 --> 00:47:08,406
The Taliban
or the AAF forces in the valley,
595
00:47:08,407 --> 00:47:11,109
they got νery, very audacious
596
00:47:11,110 --> 00:47:14,979
and tenacious during Rock Avalanche.
597
00:47:14,980 --> 00:47:18,783
Physically putting their hands on soldiers,
598
00:47:18,784 --> 00:47:21,886
able to get so close to us
that they can kill my soldiers,
599
00:47:21,887 --> 00:47:24,389
steal the equipment,
and still get away.
600
00:47:24,390 --> 00:47:27,492
I mean...
601
00:47:27,493 --> 00:47:29,327
that's baIlsy.
602
00:47:29,328 --> 00:47:33,465
We'll be releasing with Wildcat One,
603
00:47:33,466 --> 00:47:34,933
somewhere between Busch and Coors.
604
00:47:34,934 --> 00:47:36,801
Moving in on Rock Avalanche
605
00:47:36,802 --> 00:47:41,639
with going into areas like Yaka China
or up on the top of the Talisar.
606
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,976
Those are areas
we haven't previously been,
607
00:47:44,977 --> 00:47:46,811
you know, during the deployment.
608
00:47:46,812 --> 00:47:49,647
North goes that way
toward Sergeant Rougle,
609
00:47:49,648 --> 00:47:52,350
south is this way towards me
and the First Sergeant.
610
00:47:52,351 --> 00:47:55,286
To go in there not ever having
laid eyes on the area,
611
00:47:55,287 --> 00:47:59,791
hearing the stories
about guys who'd gone prior to us
612
00:47:59,792 --> 00:48:01,726
getting fucked up down,
you know,
613
00:48:01,727 --> 00:48:03,828
in areas where they
literalIy shouldn't have been in.
614
00:48:03,829 --> 00:48:08,900
We're going to be moνing out
of HLZ Cubs into HLZ Polk.
615
00:48:08,901 --> 00:48:11,236
ln Rock Avalanche we knew
the expectation that we was going
616
00:48:11,237 --> 00:48:12,570
to get engaged going up there,
617
00:48:12,571 --> 00:48:14,606
but we all knew that.
618
00:48:14,607 --> 00:48:18,109
In the location where we was actually going
to conducting this operation and stuff,
619
00:48:18,110 --> 00:48:20,645
was where the bad guys,
their safe haven was at.
620
00:48:20,646 --> 00:48:22,447
: They wasn't coming to you.
621
00:48:22,448 --> 00:48:24,916
Sometimes you had to go out there
and reach out to them.
622
00:48:33,459 --> 00:48:36,795
Go into program,
go into your radio configurations,
623
00:48:36,796 --> 00:48:40,165
and then where it says
SINCGARS or basic,
624
00:48:40,166 --> 00:48:43,168
change that to ANDVT.
625
00:48:44,570 --> 00:48:47,238
- Coming after you, motherfucker.
- Right here, bitch?
626
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,676
Let's do this, motherfucker!
l'm coming back.
627
00:48:51,677 --> 00:48:53,077
I'm coming back, don't worry.
628
00:48:53,078 --> 00:48:55,613
Do you get nervous
before something like this?
629
00:48:57,283 --> 00:49:00,218
I get nervous for the guys.
I get nervous for myself.
630
00:49:00,219 --> 00:49:03,688
I mean, I just--
I just called my mom and dad
631
00:49:03,689 --> 00:49:05,790
and I'll try calling my wife
before I take off,
632
00:49:05,791 --> 00:49:08,393
just one last "I love you"
to all of them.
633
00:49:08,394 --> 00:49:12,030
And, you know, the guys,
that's the hardest thing is like,
634
00:49:12,031 --> 00:49:13,832
you know, if something happens to me,
635
00:49:13,833 --> 00:49:16,434
there's not much I can do
about it or anything like that.
636
00:49:16,435 --> 00:49:20,305
But it takes a little bit out of you
637
00:49:20,306 --> 00:49:24,042
every time you see one of your boys
get hurt or you lose one of them.
638
00:49:24,043 --> 00:49:25,910
It's really like a big family.
639
00:49:42,294 --> 00:49:44,896
We flew in the middle of the night.
640
00:49:44,897 --> 00:49:49,434
Guess what, they're not
quiet helicopters that we fly.
641
00:49:49,435 --> 00:49:50,835
The enemy's awake now.
642
00:49:50,836 --> 00:49:53,104
What the fuck are the Americans
doing flying oνer us right now?
643
00:49:55,441 --> 00:49:57,509
So now everybody's on
their radio's, l'm sure,
644
00:49:57,510 --> 00:50:00,011
you know, "Hey, the Americans
are heading this way."
645
00:50:00,012 --> 00:50:02,847
So we got on the ground
and we were already being told,
646
00:50:02,848 --> 00:50:05,783
be on alert, you know,
everybody knows we're here.
647
00:51:09,982 --> 00:51:13,651
If we could get one going
from west to east into that draw, over.
648
00:51:19,191 --> 00:51:20,224
It's real hot.
649
00:51:21,260 --> 00:51:23,394
- All right, break.
- Coming out.
650
00:51:23,395 --> 00:51:26,631
I'd like you to come in
for one more re-attack.
651
00:51:26,632 --> 00:51:31,936
Come down in elevation in that draw
and fill right there in the center, over.
652
00:51:35,608 --> 00:51:37,375
So you did hit the target.
653
00:51:41,146 --> 00:51:42,747
This house right there.
654
00:51:58,430 --> 00:52:01,833
This is the aftermath of what AH-64s do.
655
00:52:01,834 --> 00:52:04,402
Good old attack helicopters.
656
00:53:18,210 --> 00:53:21,412
He said that there is
five guys already dead
657
00:53:21,413 --> 00:53:27,285
and ten of the females and kids already,
they are injured, you know.
658
00:53:27,286 --> 00:53:30,521
Show me which of them is the Taliban.
659
00:53:30,522 --> 00:53:31,856
There is no Taliban.
660
00:53:38,630 --> 00:53:40,698
Damn it.
661
00:53:40,699 --> 00:53:42,433
You know?
I need to know better.
662
00:53:42,434 --> 00:53:44,168
I need to figure this stuff out better
663
00:53:44,169 --> 00:53:45,937
so that l can do this,
664
00:53:45,938 --> 00:53:48,272
so that l'm not killing these people
and not making them mad.
665
00:53:48,273 --> 00:53:50,742
I mean, first impressions
are the lasting impression.
666
00:53:50,743 --> 00:53:53,745
That's the first time anybody's been
in Yaka China, and what do l do?
667
00:53:53,746 --> 00:53:57,949
I kill a bunch of bad guys,
668
00:53:57,950 --> 00:54:01,119
but in the same instance,
669
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,721
I'm killing five locals
670
00:54:03,722 --> 00:54:06,891
that may not have been
the ones that pulled the trigger,
671
00:54:06,892 --> 00:54:09,627
but in some way shape or form,
were connected to them.
672
00:54:14,066 --> 00:54:15,066
There you go.
673
00:54:33,218 --> 00:54:34,585
Dishka?
674
00:54:37,556 --> 00:54:40,858
Afghan dishka,
not American dishka, right?
675
00:54:44,596 --> 00:54:46,631
This is divorce paper.
676
00:54:46,632 --> 00:54:48,299
- What?
- Diνorce paper.
677
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:49,734
- Di-wars?
- Paper, yeah.
678
00:54:49,735 --> 00:54:51,369
- What does that mean?
- Divorce.
679
00:54:51,370 --> 00:54:54,672
Like some woman you getting married
then you're going to get a diνorce.
680
00:54:54,673 --> 00:54:56,307
- Divorce papers?
-Yeah.
681
00:54:56,308 --> 00:54:57,475
Okay.
682
00:54:58,811 --> 00:55:00,478
Who owns the house?
683
00:55:06,285 --> 00:55:08,052
Did you ask him where the pistol was?
684
00:55:11,223 --> 00:55:15,226
Eight RPG heads.
One, two, three, four boosters.
685
00:55:15,227 --> 00:55:18,596
Got four boosters,
three batteries, shotgun.
686
00:55:41,954 --> 00:55:43,721
This is Colonel Ostlund,
he's my boss,
687
00:55:43,722 --> 00:55:45,389
you know, the one I always tell you.
688
00:55:49,494 --> 00:55:52,330
We brought the Colonel
down there to talk to them,
689
00:55:52,331 --> 00:55:56,000
and we did that because
basically we felt bad
690
00:55:56,001 --> 00:55:58,436
for the fact that we injured
some of their kids
691
00:55:58,437 --> 00:56:00,905
and that we kilIed
some of the locals.
692
00:56:00,906 --> 00:56:04,609
The ACM that comes in
and gives you five dollars
693
00:56:04,610 --> 00:56:06,410
to carry this stuff
around the mountains
694
00:56:06,411 --> 00:56:08,613
and tells you that
you're doing a jihad
695
00:56:08,614 --> 00:56:10,448
and go fight the Americans
696
00:56:10,449 --> 00:56:12,350
is doing nothing for you
697
00:56:12,351 --> 00:56:14,752
except making you a slave
for fiνe dolIars
698
00:56:14,753 --> 00:56:16,621
as he hides on a mountain,
699
00:56:16,622 --> 00:56:18,756
because he won't fight my soldiers.
700
00:56:18,757 --> 00:56:20,591
These foreigners,
they don't fight my soldiers.
701
00:56:20,592 --> 00:56:22,627
They hide on a mountain in a cave,
702
00:56:22,628 --> 00:56:24,962
under a rock and talk on a radio
703
00:56:24,963 --> 00:56:28,432
and pay your sons
a small amount of money
704
00:56:28,433 --> 00:56:31,102
to go ahead
and shoot at my soldiers
705
00:56:31,103 --> 00:56:33,271
and my soldiers
end up killing your sons.
706
00:56:42,514 --> 00:56:44,215
But this is the deal we'll make.
707
00:56:44,216 --> 00:56:45,883
Everybody needs a job,
708
00:56:45,884 --> 00:56:48,753
and we're going to try to bring
progress here and some jobs,
709
00:56:48,754 --> 00:56:51,889
and Captain Kearney will taIk
to the Shura on Friday
710
00:56:51,890 --> 00:56:53,824
about some job projects.
711
00:57:00,065 --> 00:57:01,966
The whole time we were there,
we were thinking, "Okay.
712
00:57:01,967 --> 00:57:03,601
When's it coming?
When's it coming.
713
00:57:03,602 --> 00:57:05,536
They're going to hit us.
When's it going to happen?
714
00:57:28,060 --> 00:57:31,162
- This sucks, dude.
- I'm just going to double check it.
715
00:57:31,163 --> 00:57:33,664
ICOM chatter right now
coming out of Chappadara,
716
00:57:33,665 --> 00:57:36,334
a guy named Obed's talking
to the elders,
717
00:57:36,335 --> 00:57:41,372
and apparently said that the elders
are in charge of what's going on.
718
00:57:41,373 --> 00:57:44,241
The elders basically want
jihad down here in the Korengal,
719
00:57:44,242 --> 00:57:46,811
and whateνer they want, they'll--
they're here to assist,
720
00:57:46,812 --> 00:57:49,046
so we'll see what happens.
721
00:57:49,047 --> 00:57:50,881
But it doesn't sound
very good for us, huh?
722
00:58:20,178 --> 00:58:21,679
Hey, Sergeant Patterson,
723
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,914
I found four fighting positions
over there, AK-47s.
724
00:58:23,915 --> 00:58:25,616
I'm going to push to this next hilltop.
725
00:58:25,617 --> 00:58:28,753
I'm also getting ICOM traffic
that there may be enemy close to us.
726
00:58:32,991 --> 00:58:37,228
Getting intel saying that they'νe got eyes
on three to four US personnel
727
00:58:37,229 --> 00:58:39,096
and they're getting close to them.
728
00:58:45,737 --> 00:58:48,105
So they'νe got eyes on us
and it can be anywhere,
729
00:58:48,106 --> 00:58:49,707
this high ground there,
730
00:58:49,708 --> 00:58:51,375
there's some more spurs back there,
731
00:58:51,376 --> 00:58:54,111
there's one we crossed
to an open patch back there.
732
00:58:54,112 --> 00:58:56,914
They could haνe easily had eyes on us
when we were moνing in.
733
00:59:05,157 --> 00:59:07,191
What the fuck was that?
734
00:59:09,394 --> 00:59:10,694
Did you hear that?
735
00:59:10,695 --> 00:59:12,296
It might be the birds, sir.
736
00:59:12,297 --> 00:59:13,497
Shooting?
737
00:59:17,702 --> 00:59:19,403
Am l just jumpy?
738
00:59:22,274 --> 00:59:25,576
Fucking Christ, monitor this.
739
00:59:44,396 --> 00:59:47,398
Sergeant P...
740
00:59:47,399 --> 00:59:49,500
do we got guys in these
pine trees right here?
741
00:59:50,635 --> 00:59:51,869
Do we?
742
01:00:09,921 --> 01:00:13,457
When the attack finally happened,
743
01:00:13,458 --> 01:00:16,360
I remember it was myself
and my team
744
01:00:16,361 --> 01:00:19,630
on the south eastern corner
745
01:00:19,631 --> 01:00:22,500
of basically the area
that we were covering.
746
01:00:22,501 --> 01:00:24,568
We got ambushed, like,
747
01:00:24,569 --> 01:00:28,372
just every single position got hit
at the same time pretty much.
748
01:00:28,373 --> 01:00:31,909
They placed a PKM a machine gun
down into our position
749
01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:34,211
and one orientated
into the scout position,
750
01:00:34,212 --> 01:00:36,547
and just rained down hell.
751
01:00:36,548 --> 01:00:38,215
I just look over to my right
752
01:00:38,216 --> 01:00:40,651
and I see rounds breaking
branches off the tree.
753
01:00:40,652 --> 01:00:43,754
They were shooting RPGs at us,
754
01:00:43,755 --> 01:00:45,556
they were shooting
pretty much eνerything.
755
01:00:45,557 --> 01:00:48,192
When l got hit,
it actually came
756
01:00:48,193 --> 01:00:51,195
with enough force
that it rolled me forward.
757
01:00:51,196 --> 01:00:55,099
You know, initial thought was,
"What happened?"
758
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:57,768
I felt pain, you know,
759
01:00:57,769 --> 01:01:00,137
placed my hand there
just underneath my IBA
760
01:01:00,138 --> 01:01:02,473
because that's where I felt,
you know, the initial pain,
761
01:01:02,474 --> 01:01:06,243
pulled my hand out,
saw blood, knew l was hit.
762
01:01:06,244 --> 01:01:08,679
I looked up in time from alI fours
763
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,583
to watch a guy come over the crest
probably about 35-45 meters
764
01:01:12,584 --> 01:01:16,053
to fire an RPG directly at me.
765
01:01:16,054 --> 01:01:18,989
lnitial thought was, "Wow,
this is the last thing l'm going to see,"
766
01:01:18,990 --> 01:01:20,991
because the guy was so close.
767
01:01:20,992 --> 01:01:25,396
And, you know,
the round came in, exploded.
768
01:01:25,397 --> 01:01:28,566
Took shrapneI all throughout
my body, but...
769
01:01:28,567 --> 01:01:31,268
kind of did--
after the explosion, like,
770
01:01:31,269 --> 01:01:33,804
"I'm still here, I'm still alive,"
771
01:01:33,805 --> 01:01:39,210
and then proceeded to basically roll
down the mountain into the bushes.
772
01:01:39,211 --> 01:01:41,645
And they were all up in position,
773
01:01:41,646 --> 01:01:43,747
I could hear them talking to each other.
774
01:01:43,748 --> 01:01:48,385
To our north we heard somebody
yelling for a medic.
775
01:01:48,386 --> 01:01:51,422
I was the first one that heard it.
I yelled back to Sergeant Hoyt,
776
01:01:51,423 --> 01:01:54,124
telling him if I could go
and see who who it was.
777
01:01:54,125 --> 01:01:58,596
Myself along with Cortez
started moving--
778
01:01:58,597 --> 01:02:00,965
we started bounding towards where
we heard the guy yelling from.
779
01:02:00,966 --> 01:02:02,333
We didn't know who it was.
780
01:02:02,334 --> 01:02:04,034
I got to the wounded and found out
it was Vandenberge.
781
01:02:04,035 --> 01:02:06,570
I yelled back it was Vandenberge
that was wounded, bring a medic.
782
01:02:06,571 --> 01:02:08,172
He was just bleeding real bad.
783
01:02:08,173 --> 01:02:11,375
His whole left side of his body
was this real dark red color.
784
01:02:11,376 --> 01:02:14,078
And all he kept on saying was,
"Hey, help me, guys. Help me."
785
01:02:14,079 --> 01:02:15,379
just rocking back and forth.
786
01:02:15,380 --> 01:02:19,149
Saying "I'm bleeding out,
you gotta save me. l'm dying."
787
01:02:19,150 --> 01:02:21,418
Just stuff like that.
788
01:02:21,419 --> 01:02:23,354
Started handing him
gauze, tourniquet.
789
01:02:23,355 --> 01:02:25,889
Just started packing
the wound with gauze.
790
01:02:25,890 --> 01:02:27,925
l had my finger
knuckle-deep in his arm.
791
01:02:27,926 --> 01:02:29,560
Ended up stopping the bIeeding.
792
01:02:29,561 --> 01:02:31,762
I'm asking,
"Where are the guys at?
793
01:02:31,763 --> 01:02:34,031
Where's the Taliban at?
Where's the enemy at?"
794
01:02:34,032 --> 01:02:38,135
Last time he saw them,
they were 20 feet away.
795
01:02:40,105 --> 01:02:42,439
And just was I was
going to give him an lV,
796
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,675
Sergeant Stichter
and Doc Old got there
797
01:02:44,676 --> 01:02:46,477
and carried on from there.
798
01:02:46,478 --> 01:02:50,247
Sergeant Patterson and all them took over,
and I pushed out with Cortez.
799
01:02:50,248 --> 01:02:51,782
We didn't bound,
we didn't do anything,
800
01:02:51,783 --> 01:02:53,250
we just ran in a straight Iine
801
01:02:53,251 --> 01:02:56,920
and got to Rice as quick as we can.
802
01:02:56,921 --> 01:02:59,823
At that point I kind of reaIized,
"Hey, l'm stable.
803
01:02:59,824 --> 01:03:01,792
"You know, I been here
ten, fifteen minutes.
804
01:03:01,793 --> 01:03:05,229
I'm still breathing,
I'm not going into shock."
805
01:03:05,230 --> 01:03:07,331
Kind of evaluating myself.
806
01:03:07,332 --> 01:03:09,667
So basically just gave them orders to--
807
01:03:09,668 --> 01:03:11,435
"Hey, you need
to maneuver your guys.
808
01:03:11,436 --> 01:03:14,972
And push up
and clear across that hilltop."
809
01:03:14,973 --> 01:03:16,940
As l went up,
I didn't see anyone there.
810
01:03:16,941 --> 01:03:18,909
I took a knee and set up security,
811
01:03:18,910 --> 01:03:20,444
and when I turned to my right,
812
01:03:20,445 --> 01:03:22,079
I saw Sergeant Rougle just Iaying there.
813
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,214
I ran up and I saw
Sergeant Rougle's body
814
01:03:24,215 --> 01:03:26,750
and it didn't eνen click.
815
01:03:26,751 --> 01:03:28,385
I ran past him.
816
01:03:28,386 --> 01:03:33,223
I saw his face, how it was,
kind of messed up.
817
01:03:33,224 --> 01:03:37,261
I wanted to cry, but didn't.
818
01:03:39,030 --> 01:03:40,731
I was shocked, honestly.
819
01:03:40,732 --> 01:03:46,570
I was shocked because I saw
Sergeant Rougle just laying there.
820
01:03:46,571 --> 01:03:50,941
It was-- It was chaos.
821
01:03:52,077 --> 01:03:54,478
And when we finally had a second
822
01:03:54,479 --> 01:03:57,214
to stop and think,
823
01:03:57,215 --> 01:03:59,516
that's when l realized that
824
01:03:59,517 --> 01:04:02,853
one of my good friends
had gone, you know,
825
01:04:02,854 --> 01:04:05,923
and I started hearing about
Sergeant Rice, Vandenberge.
826
01:04:05,924 --> 01:04:08,859
I didn't even know that they
had been hit at that point.
827
01:04:08,860 --> 01:04:10,227
And...
828
01:04:21,673 --> 01:04:22,906
I need a--
829
01:04:22,907 --> 01:04:24,575
Yeah, time out. Hold on.
830
01:04:29,614 --> 01:04:31,815
I'm just trying to keep
my train of thought.
831
01:04:51,970 --> 01:04:54,538
Haνe that box ready.
Have the next goddamn box ready.
832
01:04:54,539 --> 01:04:56,707
Hey, I need immediate
suppression on 2251 .
833
01:04:56,708 --> 01:04:58,475
They enemy's pushed up
on the high ground--
834
01:05:01,846 --> 01:05:03,447
We're not getting shit.
835
01:05:08,319 --> 01:05:10,687
51 2255, if we've got A-1 0s,
836
01:05:10,688 --> 01:05:15,959
I want gun runs from east to west
coming in, okay?
837
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,328
The hill's been taken over by the enemy.
838
01:05:18,329 --> 01:05:19,463
That hill right here?
839
01:05:19,464 --> 01:05:20,831
WiIdcat's hiIl.
840
01:05:20,832 --> 01:05:23,534
All right, we're going to go around
to the east and go around.
841
01:05:27,572 --> 01:05:30,073
Hey, Abdul!
Get the fuck oνer here!
842
01:05:30,074 --> 01:05:33,844
tell these guys we're pushing up
on this fucking ridge.
843
01:05:33,845 --> 01:05:36,146
Hey, he wants us to go up
over this hill and bum rush it.
844
01:05:36,147 --> 01:05:37,581
There's fucking dudes right there.
845
01:05:37,582 --> 01:05:39,950
If we do that, we're going to have
to fucking lay down some--
846
01:05:39,951 --> 01:05:41,785
We're going to have
to lay down fire first.
847
01:05:41,786 --> 01:05:43,921
- Yeah, but we--
- We can't get a hold of them.
848
01:05:43,922 --> 01:05:45,222
We don't know where they're at.
849
01:05:45,223 --> 01:05:47,124
That's why we have
to lay down fire first.
850
01:06:01,906 --> 01:06:04,141
Look, they took fire
from right over here.
851
01:06:04,142 --> 01:06:06,009
Okay?
852
01:06:06,010 --> 01:06:08,545
Hey, who's down?
853
01:06:08,546 --> 01:06:10,647
We got Sergeant Rougle and them up?
854
01:06:10,648 --> 01:06:12,649
Hey.
855
01:06:12,650 --> 01:06:13,717
What?
856
01:06:18,456 --> 01:06:19,556
Where they at?
857
01:06:22,327 --> 01:06:23,827
Just keep down.
858
01:06:23,828 --> 01:06:25,529
- Get down.
- What?
859
01:06:26,764 --> 01:06:28,699
- What's going on?
- Just chill out, dude.
860
01:06:28,700 --> 01:06:31,502
- Chill the fuck out out.
- Who's oνer there?
861
01:06:31,503 --> 01:06:32,803
Oh, my God.
862
01:06:35,707 --> 01:06:36,773
Shut up.
863
01:06:38,743 --> 01:06:40,444
Move, man.
864
01:06:40,445 --> 01:06:42,446
Is Sergeant Rice still alive?
865
01:06:42,447 --> 01:06:44,181
- He's alive?
- He's going to make it.
866
01:06:48,219 --> 01:06:50,420
- There's nothing we could do.
- Where's everybody else?
867
01:06:50,421 --> 01:06:53,590
Hey, we've got friendlies here
and friendlies to your six, right there.
868
01:06:53,591 --> 01:06:55,359
Vandenberge all right?
869
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,195
Vandenberge's already--
He's stable right now.
870
01:07:00,064 --> 01:07:01,431
That ain't Sergeant Rougle.
871
01:07:02,634 --> 01:07:04,468
You're lying, right, man?
872
01:07:04,469 --> 01:07:07,971
Why would I lie about
something Iike that?
873
01:07:07,972 --> 01:07:10,007
Where'd he get hit?
I got to see.
874
01:07:10,008 --> 01:07:11,875
Don't look at him.
ls it bad?
875
01:07:11,876 --> 01:07:13,377
Tell me, dude.
Tell me, dude.
876
01:07:13,378 --> 01:07:15,279
It was quick.
It was quick.
877
01:07:18,516 --> 01:07:19,917
There was nothing we could do, bro!
878
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,228
Where the bad guys at?
879
01:07:31,229 --> 01:07:32,930
Battle Six Romeo, this is two-six.
880
01:07:32,931 --> 01:07:36,800
I've pushed to the site
of the KIA, break.
881
01:07:38,670 --> 01:07:40,437
Right now we have the hilltop.
882
01:07:40,438 --> 01:07:42,739
It's in the same vicinity as my last grid.
883
01:07:42,740 --> 01:07:44,608
Right now we're going
to move the wounded in action--
884
01:07:44,609 --> 01:07:47,110
there's two of them--
back to LZ Eagles.
885
01:07:47,111 --> 01:07:51,815
When Captain Kearney
told me up by the LZ
886
01:07:51,816 --> 01:07:55,519
that Staff Sergeant Rougle was killed,
887
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,789
it was gut wrenching.
888
01:08:02,126 --> 01:08:04,795
You know, there's different
leνels to quality of fighters.
889
01:08:04,796 --> 01:08:10,500
He was one of the best,
if not the best.
890
01:08:10,501 --> 01:08:14,438
And l think that was what was tough
for a lot of people was,
891
01:08:14,439 --> 01:08:16,473
you know, kind of knowing that
in the back of their mind,
892
01:08:16,474 --> 01:08:19,643
welI, if the best guy we have
out here just got kiIled,
893
01:08:19,644 --> 01:08:21,078
where's that put me?
894
01:08:21,079 --> 01:08:23,347
What's going to happen to me?
895
01:08:23,348 --> 01:08:26,850
What's going to happen
to the guy to my left, to my right?
896
01:08:33,858 --> 01:08:36,727
Hey, we're going down here
to get the wounded first.
897
01:08:47,505 --> 01:08:49,706
- Hey, let's go.
- Let's go.
898
01:08:49,707 --> 01:08:51,274
It was a coordinated attack.
899
01:08:51,275 --> 01:08:54,144
They drew all our attention
over to there from here.
900
01:08:54,145 --> 01:08:57,280
These guys over here
also returning fire from there.
901
01:08:57,281 --> 01:08:58,982
They fucking flanked them.
902
01:08:58,983 --> 01:09:02,919
You can see where the path is here
where the fuckers came up.
903
01:09:04,856 --> 01:09:07,290
Okay, where's this fucking compound?
I want it destroyed.
904
01:09:07,291 --> 01:09:10,193
Let's go.
905
01:09:10,194 --> 01:09:12,462
- Stichter, destroy it now.
- Yes, sir.
906
01:09:25,743 --> 01:09:29,379
After we go ahead
and get the KlA out of here,
907
01:09:29,380 --> 01:09:34,051
I want gunmetal to search
directly to my west.
908
01:09:34,052 --> 01:09:36,720
Hijar believes that he has a blood trail,
909
01:09:36,721 --> 01:09:39,189
I want them to be getting
down low to try and PlD
910
01:09:39,190 --> 01:09:40,724
and see where this guy's stopped.
911
01:09:40,725 --> 01:09:43,060
It's likely that where
we find this son of a bitch
912
01:09:43,061 --> 01:09:44,795
is where we find everybody else.
913
01:09:46,964 --> 01:09:48,632
Hijar, make sure he understood that.
914
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,027
Watch the pine trees.
915
01:10:17,028 --> 01:10:19,262
Just on the north side of that,
you can see a house on the corner.
916
01:10:19,263 --> 01:10:20,997
As it cuts like that?
917
01:10:20,998 --> 01:10:22,399
It comes almost like an L shape.
918
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,401
- See the terraces right there?
- Got it.
919
01:10:24,402 --> 01:10:27,537
Okay, now, the fucking
far southeast side,
920
01:10:27,538 --> 01:10:30,540
there's a fucking-- there's a dude
on the roof down in that house.
921
01:10:31,776 --> 01:10:35,746
- About a thousand meters.
- Roger.
922
01:10:35,747 --> 01:10:39,216
Hey, Raeon's got a guy
to our northwest
923
01:10:39,217 --> 01:10:43,220
on top of a building
walking around, over.
924
01:10:43,221 --> 01:10:45,222
- Any other info?
- No.
925
01:10:45,223 --> 01:10:47,023
He was looking up this way,
926
01:10:47,024 --> 01:10:48,525
and he just came off the roof,
927
01:10:48,526 --> 01:10:49,693
and he went back in his house.
928
01:10:49,694 --> 01:10:51,094
Roger, acknowledge.
929
01:10:51,095 --> 01:10:54,097
Raeon, next time you see that dude,
take his head off.
930
01:10:58,002 --> 01:10:59,636
Where's that range finder at?
931
01:11:02,306 --> 01:11:04,074
He was a good dude, man.
932
01:11:04,075 --> 01:11:05,542
Sergeant Rougle?
933
01:11:07,645 --> 01:11:09,312
- You want a real cigarette?
- Yeah.
934
01:11:12,583 --> 01:11:15,585
I'm worried about the rest of the guys.
They've been taking it real bad.
935
01:11:16,921 --> 01:11:18,789
One Alpha's kind of
blaming it on himself
936
01:11:18,790 --> 01:11:21,057
because we couldn't
push over the top,
937
01:11:21,058 --> 01:11:23,226
but the thing he's got to understand
is they fucking--
938
01:11:23,227 --> 01:11:24,928
He was dead instantly.
939
01:11:24,929 --> 01:11:26,563
There's nothing you can do right there.
940
01:11:47,351 --> 01:11:49,486
Actually, l can't even sIeep, honestly.
941
01:11:49,487 --> 01:11:52,255
I've been on about four or five
different types of sleeping pills
942
01:11:52,256 --> 01:11:53,557
and none of them help.
943
01:11:53,558 --> 01:11:55,592
That's how bad the nightmares are.
944
01:11:55,593 --> 01:11:58,128
I prefer not to sleep
and not dream about it,
945
01:11:58,129 --> 01:12:00,530
than sleep and...
946
01:12:00,531 --> 01:12:03,066
just see the picture in my head is...
947
01:12:03,067 --> 01:12:04,134
pretty bad.
948
01:12:10,975 --> 01:12:14,311
That actually stuck with me
for the rest of the deployment.
949
01:12:16,848 --> 01:12:20,784
Stuck with me through
coming back here to Italy.
950
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,988
I still obviously haven't...
951
01:12:24,989 --> 01:12:27,324
figured out how to deal
with it inside.
952
01:12:32,263 --> 01:12:34,531
The only hope
I have right now is that
953
01:12:34,532 --> 01:12:37,334
eνentually l'll be able
to process it differently.
954
01:12:37,335 --> 01:12:39,603
I'm never going to forget it.
955
01:12:39,604 --> 01:12:41,938
Never going to even let go of it.
956
01:12:43,274 --> 01:12:47,210
l don't want to not
have that as a memory
957
01:12:47,211 --> 01:12:48,979
because that was tone of the moments
958
01:12:48,980 --> 01:12:52,549
that makes me appreciate
everything that I have.
959
01:14:49,834 --> 01:14:50,834
Steiner?
960
01:14:52,536 --> 01:14:53,970
Steiner, come on!
961
01:15:03,714 --> 01:15:05,648
Not yet. Not yet.
962
01:15:44,522 --> 01:15:46,389
Still working to try to bring about
963
01:15:46,390 --> 01:15:50,493
the Korengal
to get the road moνing here.
964
01:15:50,494 --> 01:15:52,629
Are you really drawing
the Korengal Valley?
965
01:15:54,632 --> 01:15:56,599
lt's the only thing
I know how to draw.
966
01:16:02,173 --> 01:16:05,675
I just send it home in letters.
967
01:16:05,676 --> 01:16:07,110
Just draw.
968
01:16:31,001 --> 01:16:32,836
So do you have a songbook or something,
969
01:16:32,837 --> 01:16:36,139
or an exercise book to practice with?
970
01:16:36,140 --> 01:16:37,373
You just fuck around?
971
01:16:37,374 --> 01:16:38,608
Yeah I'm just fucking around.
972
01:16:38,609 --> 01:16:42,011
You need one of those books,
with the charts on them.
973
01:16:42,012 --> 01:16:43,880
Yeah, I need-- that would be nice.
974
01:16:43,881 --> 01:16:46,116
Restrepo was teaching me that stuff,
975
01:16:46,117 --> 01:16:50,186
but he-- he taught me like a few,
976
01:16:50,187 --> 01:16:52,689
but l wrote just one, a C chord,
977
01:16:52,690 --> 01:16:56,292
but, you know, I don't know.
978
01:16:56,293 --> 01:16:58,995
I stilI have his--
979
01:16:58,996 --> 01:17:01,831
I actually still haνe
one of his Flamenco books
980
01:17:01,832 --> 01:17:03,299
or whatever it is.
981
01:17:03,300 --> 01:17:05,368
How to play guitar flamenco,
you know.
982
01:17:05,369 --> 01:17:08,705
He was amazing on guitar.
983
01:17:08,706 --> 01:17:11,341
- It was just beautiful music.
- It was amazing.
984
01:17:11,342 --> 01:17:13,343
He used to grow
his fingernails out real long,
985
01:17:13,344 --> 01:17:15,345
and put like nail hardener.
986
01:17:15,346 --> 01:17:17,714
So we always used
to get on him about that.
987
01:17:17,715 --> 01:17:19,682
Yeah, but-- with his teeth--
988
01:17:19,683 --> 01:17:21,117
"yeah, but can--
989
01:17:21,118 --> 01:17:23,520
"can you play the guitar
like me, yo, son?
990
01:17:23,521 --> 01:17:24,854
Shun?"
991
01:17:47,111 --> 01:17:50,413
Twenty seven May,
movement to contact west of Restrepo.
992
01:17:50,414 --> 01:17:54,217
Task disrupt, purpose prevent AAF
from building mass fires on Restrepo.
993
01:17:54,218 --> 01:17:55,852
That concludes my report. Over.
994
01:17:59,890 --> 01:18:02,358
- How long till he gets tired?
- Hump him, Walker.
995
01:18:02,359 --> 01:18:03,793
Ow, my hip.
996
01:18:05,696 --> 01:18:08,765
Is he squeezing you
with his fucking mammoth Iegs?
997
01:18:12,536 --> 01:18:16,172
- Heart punch, heart punch.
- There you go, film Walker.
998
01:18:16,173 --> 01:18:17,440
Walker!
999
01:18:20,211 --> 01:18:22,812
I think they just changed,
didn't they?
1000
01:18:22,813 --> 01:18:25,315
I just want to see.
1001
01:18:25,316 --> 01:18:27,317
- Walker.
- I'm bored.
1002
01:18:27,318 --> 01:18:29,052
Say something to your wife.
Dude, you know you want to.
1003
01:18:29,053 --> 01:18:30,620
Hey, babe, I miss you.
1004
01:18:30,621 --> 01:18:32,288
Can't wait to get home and--
1005
01:18:35,492 --> 01:18:37,760
Hurry up, hurry up!
1006
01:18:37,761 --> 01:18:40,096
Do you want to know
when you're going home or not?
1007
01:18:41,665 --> 01:18:44,801
All right, what's been told
to the wives is
1008
01:18:44,802 --> 01:18:47,337
we'Il be back in Italy,
not out of country,
1009
01:18:47,338 --> 01:18:50,573
back in Italy between
August 4th and 7th.
1010
01:18:50,574 --> 01:18:52,675
So look at your fucking watch.
1011
01:18:52,676 --> 01:18:55,778
Two months from today
and counting down.
1012
01:18:55,779 --> 01:18:58,448
That's bad news if you're
one of those dudes that's like,
1013
01:18:58,449 --> 01:19:00,450
"Fuck, I love it here and I wanted
to wait till September
1014
01:19:00,451 --> 01:19:01,751
and get an extra thousand dollars."
1015
01:19:01,752 --> 01:19:03,786
And if that's you, I don't care.
1016
01:19:03,787 --> 01:19:05,755
Fuck you.
We're going home.
1017
01:19:13,264 --> 01:19:16,266
Today things were a little bit hectic.
1018
01:19:16,267 --> 01:19:19,068
We found out that one of our sister
companies, Chosen Company,
1019
01:19:19,069 --> 01:19:21,504
up north of Camp Blessing,
1020
01:19:21,505 --> 01:19:24,741
starting a new base Iost nine soldiers
1021
01:19:24,742 --> 01:19:29,345
and had an additional twelνe US wounded
1022
01:19:29,346 --> 01:19:32,348
and an thirteen additional ANA
that were wounded.
1023
01:19:35,853 --> 01:19:37,887
Hey, is this everybody?
1024
01:19:37,888 --> 01:19:39,589
We got the Mortars?
We got Second Platoon?
1025
01:19:42,393 --> 01:19:46,195
Okay, hey, listen up.
1026
01:19:46,196 --> 01:19:48,564
I'm going to talk to you guys
a IittIe bit about
1027
01:19:48,565 --> 01:19:52,568
some of what happened
up with Chosen Company.
1028
01:19:52,569 --> 01:19:54,771
I want you guys to mourn,
1029
01:19:54,772 --> 01:19:57,840
and then l want you guys
to get over it and do your jobs.
1030
01:19:57,841 --> 01:19:59,776
Okay?
1031
01:19:59,777 --> 01:20:01,978
First-- Hey, Proctor,
why did you come in the army, man?
1032
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:04,781
To fight for my country, sir.
1033
01:20:04,782 --> 01:20:06,349
- To fight for your country?
- Roger, sir.
1034
01:20:06,350 --> 01:20:08,551
Did you expect that
you might get injured or die?
1035
01:20:08,552 --> 01:20:09,786
Absolutely, sir.
1036
01:20:09,787 --> 01:20:12,188
Anybody join not knowing that
that might be an option?
1037
01:20:13,857 --> 01:20:18,461
We lose PFC Vimoto on June 5th, 2007.
1038
01:20:18,462 --> 01:20:21,097
What happens the very next day
after that, Sergeant Buno?
1039
01:20:21,098 --> 01:20:25,468
We go out on patrols,
we get attacked again.
1040
01:20:25,469 --> 01:20:27,670
Right.
1041
01:20:27,671 --> 01:20:30,673
July 22nd, we lose Restrepo, right?
1042
01:20:32,676 --> 01:20:34,510
What do we keep on doing after that?
1043
01:20:34,511 --> 01:20:35,611
Fighting.
1044
01:20:35,612 --> 01:20:37,880
We keep on fighting
and taking it to the enemy, right?
1045
01:20:37,881 --> 01:20:41,250
What do you guys think would haνe
happened if we had just stopped at Vimoto
1046
01:20:41,251 --> 01:20:43,786
and acted Iike
our predecessors before us
1047
01:20:43,787 --> 01:20:46,122
and we stood our ground there,
1048
01:20:46,123 --> 01:20:48,524
didn't go out there doing
our aggressive patrolling,
1049
01:20:48,525 --> 01:20:50,760
didn't go out there
and build OP Restrepo,
1050
01:20:50,761 --> 01:20:53,496
which I think we'll alI venture to say,
1051
01:20:53,497 --> 01:20:57,033
like, pretty much changed the entire
dynamics of the entire valley?
1052
01:20:59,336 --> 01:21:00,803
You guys know what
would have happened?
1053
01:21:00,804 --> 01:21:03,639
The same shit that happened
today up at Chosen Company.
1054
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,441
Now with Chosen Company,
1055
01:21:05,442 --> 01:21:08,211
they went into an area that they
knew was going to be contested.
1056
01:21:08,212 --> 01:21:10,246
They knew what they were getting into.
1057
01:21:10,247 --> 01:21:15,284
They've been talking about
going to Wanat since July of 2007.
1058
01:21:15,285 --> 01:21:17,920
We went there, they did it.
1059
01:21:17,921 --> 01:21:19,622
The fucking only way to bounce back
1060
01:21:19,623 --> 01:21:21,524
from shit like this is to go out there
1061
01:21:21,525 --> 01:21:23,826
and make the individuals
that did this to us fucking pay.
1062
01:21:25,696 --> 01:21:28,431
It's not to sit back here and hide.
1063
01:21:28,432 --> 01:21:30,633
It's not to go back down
to our fucking rucks
1064
01:21:30,634 --> 01:21:32,435
and fucking feel sorry for ourselves
1065
01:21:32,436 --> 01:21:34,036
and get snuggled up in our woobie.
1066
01:21:35,372 --> 01:21:37,306
We go out there, we find
the motherfuckers that did this
1067
01:21:37,307 --> 01:21:38,374
and we make them pay.
1068
01:21:38,375 --> 01:21:40,443
We make them feeI
how we feel right now.
1069
01:21:43,347 --> 01:21:44,914
For those of you guys that pray,
1070
01:21:44,915 --> 01:21:50,553
let's go ahead and take
a moment of silence in--
1071
01:21:50,554 --> 01:21:52,255
in remembrance the ten--
1072
01:21:52,256 --> 01:21:54,457
ten to nine soldiers that we lost today
1073
01:21:54,458 --> 01:21:56,659
and the families of them
1074
01:21:56,660 --> 01:21:59,896
and the families
of those that were hurt,
1075
01:21:59,897 --> 01:22:01,431
and then I'lI Iet you guys go ahead
1076
01:22:01,432 --> 01:22:02,965
and get about your business.
1077
01:22:30,527 --> 01:22:31,828
Get down.
1078
01:22:55,752 --> 01:22:57,386
Oh, wow, you can't see shit now.
1079
01:23:00,491 --> 01:23:03,092
Hey, can I shoot Sergeant Mac?
I'm I'm going to fucking get him.
1080
01:23:03,093 --> 01:23:04,293
- Can I shoot?
- Wait tiIl he engages.
1081
01:23:04,294 --> 01:23:06,662
Wait till he engages,
then fucking fucking get him.
1082
01:23:10,334 --> 01:23:11,467
There he goes.
1083
01:23:16,406 --> 01:23:17,874
Low right, low right!
1084
01:23:17,875 --> 01:23:18,875
Low right!
1085
01:23:22,946 --> 01:23:24,814
- Hey, that motherfucker's done.
- Is he?
1086
01:23:27,818 --> 01:23:29,719
Hey, Olson, he's done.
1087
01:23:31,855 --> 01:23:32,922
Yeah!
1088
01:23:32,923 --> 01:23:35,725
A direct hit on that dude.
1089
01:23:35,726 --> 01:23:37,226
That motherfucker's done, man!
1090
01:23:37,227 --> 01:23:39,495
That motherfucker's done, dude!
1091
01:23:39,496 --> 01:23:41,097
Fuck you, bitches!
1092
01:23:41,098 --> 01:23:42,265
Body parts falling apart.
1093
01:23:42,266 --> 01:23:43,866
The L-Ras, dude,
1094
01:23:43,867 --> 01:23:47,570
it was him running
and then him blasting into pieces.
1095
01:23:47,571 --> 01:23:49,605
- Yeah?
- Yeah, dude.
1096
01:23:49,606 --> 01:23:52,341
There you go, motherfucker,
shoot at us again.
1097
01:23:55,979 --> 01:23:59,715
By the end, like I was--
1098
01:23:59,716 --> 01:24:02,518
I really didn't want to get overrun.
1099
01:24:03,620 --> 01:24:08,090
But l just wish they were closer
1100
01:24:08,091 --> 01:24:11,327
so l could have actually seen them
when I killed them.
1101
01:24:15,532 --> 01:24:17,233
626 perstat,
1102
01:24:17,234 --> 01:24:19,869
I have twenty Restrepo.
1103
01:24:19,870 --> 01:24:22,271
The only question I have is tonight,
1104
01:24:22,272 --> 01:24:26,342
are we going to be doing
an illum round for Doc Restrepo?
1105
01:24:26,343 --> 01:24:28,010
Today's twenty two July.
1106
01:24:28,011 --> 01:24:30,246
Over.
1107
01:24:30,247 --> 01:24:32,582
Yeah, we're planning
on doing the illum round.
1108
01:24:34,885 --> 01:24:38,554
One last thing, seventeen tonight
1109
01:24:38,555 --> 01:24:40,723
they're shooting for Doc Restrepo.
1110
01:24:40,724 --> 01:24:42,525
Seνenteen tonight.
1111
01:24:43,927 --> 01:24:46,329
He's fucking a little bit drunk.
1112
01:24:46,330 --> 01:24:48,497
I'm fucking--
I'm a little bit drunk at this point.
1113
01:24:48,498 --> 01:24:50,032
And I see him--
1114
01:24:50,033 --> 01:24:52,768
I see him just eyeing everyone up,
just like this.
1115
01:24:52,769 --> 01:24:54,170
Who is that, Kim?
1116
01:24:54,171 --> 01:24:56,205
No, Restrepo.
1117
01:24:56,206 --> 01:24:57,506
Eyeing everyone up.
1118
01:24:57,507 --> 01:24:59,008
I come up to him
and I'm like, "What's wrong, bro?"
1119
01:24:59,009 --> 01:25:00,309
He's Iike, "Yo, bro,
1120
01:25:00,310 --> 01:25:02,345
I'm going to stab these fools, yo."
1121
01:25:02,346 --> 01:25:04,246
I'm like, I see it in his hand.
1122
01:25:04,247 --> 01:25:06,816
He's got the fucking Gerber
out with the knife out,
1123
01:25:06,817 --> 01:25:09,885
fucking closed up, just ready
to fucking shank someone, dude.
1124
01:25:09,886 --> 01:25:13,189
I'm like-- and this is
after the night before
1125
01:25:13,190 --> 01:25:18,628
we ended up down in the fucking
the steps of Rome fucking train station,
1126
01:25:18,629 --> 01:25:22,131
and I was peeing, in my pants.
1127
01:25:29,473 --> 01:25:32,541
What we did to mark
the anniversary of our dead,
1128
01:25:32,542 --> 01:25:34,076
we shot off flares,
1129
01:25:34,077 --> 01:25:37,947
and where Restrepo died,
we shot off flares.
1130
01:25:43,387 --> 01:25:46,155
You know, and kind of raise one up.
1131
01:25:46,156 --> 01:25:49,091
Say a prayer,
say a few words in your head
1132
01:25:49,092 --> 01:25:50,993
and you move on.
1133
01:27:19,716 --> 01:27:22,451
Did my last patrol hopefully.
1134
01:27:22,452 --> 01:27:24,553
Hopefully I don't get called
back out for something.
1135
01:27:26,823 --> 01:27:28,524
FIy out of here in a few days.
1136
01:27:30,060 --> 01:27:33,362
It's kind of strange thinking you'll never
come back to OP Restrepo again.
1137
01:27:33,363 --> 01:27:35,197
Yeah.
1138
01:27:35,198 --> 01:27:36,799
It's a good feeling, though.
1139
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,668
It's been a long fucking
deployment right there.
1140
01:27:41,238 --> 01:27:43,706
Leaving Restrepo?
1141
01:27:43,707 --> 01:27:45,975
It's too good to be true, you know?
1142
01:27:45,976 --> 01:27:48,778
We're going to die here.
lsn't that right, Henry?
1143
01:27:48,779 --> 01:27:50,880
- Roger, Sergeant.
- But we're leaving instead.
1144
01:27:50,881 --> 01:27:53,716
God's going to fuck with our emotions
1145
01:27:53,717 --> 01:27:55,251
and kilI us on the bird out.
1146
01:27:57,454 --> 01:28:01,423
I'm never coming back,
never coming back.
1147
01:28:03,059 --> 01:28:04,727
It's time to go.
1148
01:28:09,566 --> 01:28:11,033
That's heaνy.
1149
01:28:16,606 --> 01:28:18,440
Goodbye, OP Restrepo.
1150
01:28:20,544 --> 01:28:22,344
I'm never going to have
to be here again.
1151
01:28:25,949 --> 01:28:29,618
Not that I didn't enjoy my time here,
1152
01:28:29,619 --> 01:28:31,487
but it's time to moνe on.
1153
01:28:38,161 --> 01:28:40,329
- Yes!
- See you later.
1154
01:28:42,766 --> 01:28:44,900
The high point for us was going home.
1155
01:28:44,901 --> 01:28:46,902
Getting out of there.
1156
01:28:46,903 --> 01:28:49,805
Going home, seriously.
No doubt about it.
1157
01:28:49,806 --> 01:28:53,275
Each one of my soldiers' face,
you can tell, going home.
1158
01:28:56,012 --> 01:28:57,479
We done our job.
1159
01:28:57,480 --> 01:28:59,548
We did what we were supposed
to have been doing
1160
01:28:59,549 --> 01:29:01,050
and we out of here.
1161
01:29:10,827 --> 01:29:13,996
The Korengal, as far as--
What did we we achieve?
1162
01:29:13,997 --> 01:29:16,265
I'm always going
to think about Restrepo.
1163
01:29:16,266 --> 01:29:21,904
BuiIding Restrepo was the single
most important eνent
1164
01:29:21,905 --> 01:29:24,573
for the Korengal.
1165
01:29:24,574 --> 01:29:27,676
And how...
1166
01:29:27,677 --> 01:29:29,111
how the boys did it.
1167
01:29:29,112 --> 01:29:30,112
Fighting.
1168
01:29:31,915 --> 01:29:34,016
And then turning around
and going back to working.
1169
01:29:47,264 --> 01:29:49,632
It makes us proud
when we see the news--
1170
01:29:49,633 --> 01:29:52,034
they still call it Restrepo--
1171
01:29:52,035 --> 01:29:53,769
knowing that, you know,
1172
01:29:53,770 --> 01:29:56,038
we painted it on the walIs,
this is for Doc Restrepo.
1173
01:29:56,039 --> 01:29:59,108
The name fit the place after a while,
1174
01:29:59,109 --> 01:30:01,810
after it became built up,
1175
01:30:01,811 --> 01:30:04,246
after it became a better place.
1176
01:30:04,247 --> 01:30:06,849
But when l hear Restrepo,
1177
01:30:06,850 --> 01:30:09,752
I still think of the person.
1178
01:30:09,753 --> 01:30:12,755
You can't-- You can't tame the beast.
1179
01:30:13,857 --> 01:30:15,591
You know?
1180
01:30:15,592 --> 01:30:17,259
Got him.
1181
01:30:17,260 --> 01:30:19,194
Yeah, he got him. He got him.
1182
01:30:19,195 --> 01:30:20,496
He did get him.
1183
01:30:20,497 --> 01:30:21,797
Hey, Lex, what's going on tonight?
1184
01:30:21,798 --> 01:30:23,832
Just tell us.
Break it down, break it down.
1185
01:30:23,833 --> 01:30:25,167
All I want to do
1186
01:30:25,168 --> 01:30:27,169
is find a miniature zebra,
1187
01:30:27,170 --> 01:30:29,805
put a little tiny saddle on it and ride it.
1188
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:32,408
There ain't no zebras on the pub crawl.
1189
01:30:32,409 --> 01:30:35,611
I didn't-- Miniature zebras.
1190
01:30:35,612 --> 01:30:39,448
My bad, there are miniature zebras.
What the fuck?
1191
01:30:39,449 --> 01:30:41,583
Let's say goodbye,
let's say goodbye.
1192
01:30:41,584 --> 01:30:44,653
Hey, tune in next time where
we're going to be still drunk as fuck.
1193
01:30:44,654 --> 01:30:46,221
Saying goodnight
to the bad guy, man.
1194
01:30:46,222 --> 01:30:48,223
The same time,
the same dope rhyme,
1195
01:30:48,224 --> 01:30:50,726
because we're going
to be still loving life
1196
01:30:50,727 --> 01:30:52,628
and getting ready to go to war.
1197
01:33:04,060 --> 01:33:05,928
Here or hea?
1198
01:33:05,929 --> 01:33:07,930
H-E-A. Hea.
1199
01:33:09,299 --> 01:33:11,767
"O'Byrne wuz hea."
1200
01:33:11,768 --> 01:33:12,835
That's how we roll.
1201
01:33:12,836 --> 01:33:15,838
