( Radio chatter)

00:00:15.148 --> 00:00:17.628
Soldier over radio:

00:00:17.651 --> 00:00:19.494
Soldier#2:
Roger, we're set in.

6
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.557
Got security set up. Over.

00:00:23.457 --> 00:00:25.300
Soldier #1: Roger.
We're gonna start down.

( Radio chatter)

9
00:00:37.237 --> 00:00:39.911
Yeah, prepare to copy,
my group.

10
00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:41.715
Soldier:

00:00:41.742 --> 00:00:46.555
Whiskey Delta 9-1

00:00:46.580 --> 00:00:49.493

- 5-290s.

13
00:00:49.516 --> 00:00:51.860
( Chattering )

14
00:00:51.885 --> 00:00:55.560
(soldier speaking over broken
transmission )

15
00:00:55.589 --> 00:00:58.263
Soldier: Behind the sacks,
there's ammunitions.

16
00:00:58.292 --> 00:01:01.705
Soldier: Sergeant Byrne,
they're getting ammunition

17
00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:03.298
from the house right now.

18
00:01:09.336 --> 00:01:11.816
Soldier over radio:
3-3, this is 3-6.

19
00:01:11.838 --> 00:01:12.873
Go ahead and move down.

20
00:01:17.411 --> 00:01:20.881
Soldier #2:
Roger, we're moving. Over.

21
00:01:20.914 --> 00:01:23.724
Soldier #3:
That's a good copy, 3-6 out.

22
00:01:25.819 --> 00:01:28.459
Soldier: We're not going
to get any closer standing here.

23
00:01:28.488 --> 00:01:29.796
Soldier over radio:
3-3-3, this is 3-6.

24
00:01:29.823 --> 00:01:32.963
Whenever you guys are ready,
go ahead and push up.

25
00:01:32.993 --> 00:01:35.269
- Soldier: Let's roll out!
- Soldier #2: Come on!

26
00:01:35.295 --> 00:01:37.775

I need you

00:01:44.671 --> 00:01:48.813
Go there, start callin'
a 914, right now!

31
00:01:48.842 --> 00:01:50.321
Spread out
and find your cover.

32
00:01:50.344 --> 00:01:51.550
(machine gun firing)

33
00:01:51.578 --> 00:01:54.491
- Hey, what are you doing?
- Take these guys--

34
00:01:54.514 --> 00:01:56.050
- Roger!
- You guys have to move him.

35
00:01:56.083 --> 00:01:57.892
- Let's go.
- Let's grab that weapon.

36
00:01:57.918 --> 00:01:59.158
I need you to stop
this bleeding

37
00:01:59.186 --> 00:02:00.290
- as soon as we got here.
- I got it.

38
00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:03.995
- Let's go, boys. Move. Move.
- Soldier: Move, move, move.

39
00:02:04.024 --> 00:02:07.062
- Let's get a head count.
- Soldier: Keep going.

40
00:02:07.094 --> 00:02:10.803
- Nice--
- Almost there, almost there.

41
00:02:10.831 --> 00:02:13.437
- Estevez?
- Keep going, keep going.

42
00:02:13.467 --> 00:02:14.741
Soldier:
Let's go, guys. Keep moving.

43
00:02:14.768 --> 00:02:16.577
- Keep going, guys.
- Smith?

44
00:02:16.603 --> 00:02:18.879
- Keep going.
- McKean?

45
00:02:18.905 --> 00:02:21.181
Almost there.
Let's go, all the way up.

46
00:02:21.208 --> 00:02:24.451
Soldier:
Fuck, I'm missing one.

47
00:02:24.478 --> 00:02:26.719
- ( Explosion )
- Go! go! go;

48
00:02:26.747 --> 00:02:27.851
- Go, go.
- Where's he at?

49
00:02:27.881 --> 00:02:29.121
(distant gunfire)

50
00:02:29.149 --> 00:02:30.492
(explosion )

51
00:02:30.517 --> 00:02:32.190
Soldier: LT, stay in the middle.
Spread out.

52
00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:34.096
All right?
Spread out. Stay spread.

53
00:02:34.121 --> 00:02:36.032
That way if he shoots again,
he only gets one of us.

54
00:02:36.056 --> 00:02:38.229
- ( Gunfire continues)
- Stay spread.

55
00:02:38.258 --> 00:02:39.293
Fuck.

58
00:03:38.985 --> 00:03:40.225
Soldier over radio:
We're pretty much

59
00:03:40.253 --> 00:03:42.062
in an L shape right now, over.

60
00:03:42.089 --> 00:03:43.693
Okay, roger.
Just make sure

61
00:03:43.724 --> 00:03:46.068
we keep
that right flank security.

62
00:03:46.093 --> 00:03:50.166
We got guys flanking hard
on your right flank.

63
00:03:50.197 --> 00:03:51.369
Soldier over radio:
Roger, I copy.

64
00:03:51.398 --> 00:03:52.741
Guys flanking hard
on our flank.

65
00:03:52.766 --> 00:03:55.372
Roger. You're about
to get the brunt of it, over.

66
00:03:55.402 --> 00:03:57.678
Come on, come on.

67
00:03:57.704 --> 00:04:00.310
All right, let's go.

68
00:04:02.042 --> 00:04:04.022
Soldier:
Go, go, go!

69
00:04:04.044 --> 00:04:06.251
- Get on line!
- Contact! Contact!

70
00:04:06.279 --> 00:04:08.418
Someone better flex--
flex right.

71
00:04:08.448 --> 00:04:10.018
Immediately,
flex right.

72
00:04:10.050 --> 00:04:11.996
Immediately,
flex right.

73
00:04:12.018 --> 00:04:13.929
Right there,
right there.

74
00:04:13.954 --> 00:04:15.524
Get that saw up!

75
00:04:15.555 --> 00:04:19.503
(all firing )

76
00:04:24.264 --> 00:04:26.574
Soldier:
Hey, cease fire. Cease fire!

77
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.477
Soldier #2:
Cease fire.

78
00:04:28.502 --> 00:04:30.277
Hold up!

79
00:04:30.303 --> 00:04:32.715
- Everybody stop!
- Soldier: Hey!

80
00:04:32.739 --> 00:04:34.446
Soldier over radio:
Index, index.

81
00:04:34.474 --> 00:04:36.818
Index.
End of exercise.

82
00:04:38.378 --> 00:04:40.858
( Chattering )

83
00:04:40.881 --> 00:04:43.225
Soldier:
We gotta figure something out.

84
00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:45.196
Eran Harrill:
Barber, are you missing a lens?

85
00:04:45.218 --> 00:04:47.664
Yeah, I got
my dark eye pro on me.

86
00:04:47.687 --> 00:04:50.395
In your glasses,
are you missing a lens?

87
00:04:50.423 --> 00:04:51.731
Barber:
Yeah.

88
00:04:51.758 --> 00:04:53.499
You're missing a lens?

89
00:04:53.527 --> 00:04:55.370
He is, yeah.

90
00:04:55.395 --> 00:04:56.772
Barber: I can see
out of this one

91
00:04:56.797 --> 00:04:58.333
more than I can this one.

92
00:04:58.365 --> 00:05:00.367
Is that your firing eye?
How'd you lose a lens?

93
00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:02.209
Barber:
My glasses were already broken

94
00:05:02.235 --> 00:05:04.112
and while I was getting
my dark Eye Pro out,

95
00:05:04.137 --> 00:05:07.346
the movement and the contact,
last iteration, it fell out.

96
00:05:07.374 --> 00:05:09.718
So we're talking
a week and a half ago.

97
00:05:09.743 --> 00:05:11.484
Barber:
Roger.

98
00:05:13.113 --> 00:05:14.717
Eran Harrill:
Goodness gracious, Barber.

99
00:05:14.748 --> 00:05:17.092
You have other glasses
you wear at home?

100
00:05:17.117 --> 00:05:19.154
- Maybe.
- So now you're missing a lens.

101
00:05:19.186 --> 00:05:20.893
That means when you go back
to civilian life,

102
00:05:20.921 --> 00:05:22.730
you're still going
to be missing a lens, right?

103
00:05:22.756 --> 00:05:24.292
- Yes, sergeant.
- Gosh, man.

104
00:05:24.324 --> 00:05:27.430
This isn't a military thing.
Guys, individual things.

105
00:05:27.460 --> 00:05:29.599
You have
to fucking correct that.

106
00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:31.631
Like, your own self.
You have to be like, "Eh,

107
00:05:31.665 --> 00:05:34.737
"when I go back, I'm only
going to have one lens.

108
00:05:34.768 --> 00:05:36.907
"I got work.
I got other things--

109
00:05:36.937 --> 00:05:38.678
I gotta drive."

110
00:05:39.673 --> 00:05:41.778
- You hear what I'm saying?
- Yes, sergeant.

111
00:05:41.808 --> 00:05:43.116
I shouldn't have
to preach to you guys

112
00:05:43.143 --> 00:05:44.816
how to be grown men.

113
00:05:44.845 --> 00:05:46.347
And that's what I'm--
this conversation

114
00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:47.881
is just teaching you
how to be a grown man.

115
00:05:47.914 --> 00:05:49.655
It has nothing to do
with military.

116
00:05:49.683 --> 00:05:51.993
Gentlemen, nobody's going
to fucking care about you

117
00:05:52.018 --> 00:05:53.019
more than you.

118
00:05:53.053 --> 00:05:54.726
So if you don't care
about you,

119
00:05:54.754 --> 00:05:56.791
and we're not tracking on it.
We're not going to push you

120
00:05:56.823 --> 00:05:58.996
'cause we don't know.

121
00:05:59.025 --> 00:06:01.232
- Make sense?
- All: Yes, Sergeant.

122
00:06:01.261 --> 00:06:03.707
All right.

123
00:06:20.046 --> 00:06:22.424
Harrill: What happened
with Barber at training,

124
00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:25.191
I mean, is unacceptable.

125
00:06:25.218 --> 00:06:27.323
But for me
as a leader,

126
00:06:27.354 --> 00:06:29.334
something
that I have to correct.

127
00:06:29.356 --> 00:06:30.733
Being a citizen soldier,

128
00:06:30.757 --> 00:06:33.931
we all have
our civilian obligations

129
00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:36.770
that we have in addition
to our military duties.

130
00:06:36.796 --> 00:06:39.777
For instance, on this
last appointment myself,

131
00:06:39.799 --> 00:06:41.745
I was a marketing director.

132
00:06:41.768 --> 00:06:45.875
Colt Floyd was a combatives
and weapons instructor.

133
00:06:45.906 --> 00:06:49.615
Damon Leehan was an X-ray tech
at a hospital.

134
00:06:49.643 --> 00:06:53.887
Jared Colson
was a correctional officer.

135
00:06:53.914 --> 00:06:57.123
Mycal Prince
was a police officer.

136
00:06:57.150 --> 00:07:00.620
He was the first K9 officer
of his precinct.

137
00:07:00.654 --> 00:07:04.363
Tyler Brown
was a mechanic.

138
00:07:04.391 --> 00:07:06.894
So you have this whole group
of diverse individuals

139
00:07:06.927 --> 00:07:10.238
who on the civilian side,

140
00:07:10.263 --> 00:07:12.675
are doing regular,
normal, everyday stuff.

141
00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:14.872
But now,
six months later,

142
00:07:14.901 --> 00:07:16.209
they're on the side
of a mountain

143
00:07:16.236 --> 00:07:17.647
fighting alongside
each other

144
00:07:17.671 --> 00:07:20.880
in some of the worst conditions
that you can think of.

145
00:07:27.013 --> 00:07:28.390
What's up, man?

146
00:07:28.415 --> 00:07:31.021
So today I'm getting together
with Colt Floyd and Tyler Brown,

147
00:07:31.051 --> 00:07:34.055
two guys that I deployed
with back in 2011.

148
00:07:34.087 --> 00:07:35.896
I'm gonna throw some burgers on.
You guys want some brats too?

149
00:07:35.922 --> 00:07:37.799
- Absolutely.
- All right.

150
00:07:37.824 --> 00:07:39.667
For me,
one thing that I always felt

151
00:07:39.693 --> 00:07:43.140
like I got in for was
to deploy at some point in time.

152
00:07:43.163 --> 00:07:44.437
So then to have an opportunity
to get on this one

153
00:07:44.464 --> 00:07:48.037
with the Guard seemed like
another natural thing.

154
00:07:48.068 --> 00:07:49.570
I don't think
it still really hit me,

155
00:07:49.602 --> 00:07:51.206
you know-- we're actually
going on deployment,

156
00:07:51.237 --> 00:07:53.717
going to Afghanistan,
gonna be in some tough stuff.

157
00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:57.278
And even up to Shelby--
my impression of Shelby

158
00:07:57.310 --> 00:07:59.813
when we got there was just,
like, you gotta be kidding me.

159
00:07:59.846 --> 00:08:00.847
You know?

160
00:08:00.880 --> 00:08:02.120
"This is gonna
get us ready for war?"

161
00:08:02.148 --> 00:08:04.924
Yeah-- “This is gonna
get us ready for war?"

162
00:08:09.222 --> 00:08:10.758
Harrill: Hattiesburg
is just a tad bit different

163
00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:12.167
from Afghanistan

164
00:08:12.192 --> 00:08:14.399
- and Laghman Province.
- Soldier: Poquito.

165
00:08:14.427 --> 00:08:16.566
- ( Soldiers laughing)
- Soldier: Just a little.

166
00:08:16.596 --> 00:08:18.405
Take away the mountains,
it was the same.

167
00:08:18.431 --> 00:08:21.810
Take away the mountains,
it was the exact same thing.

168
00:08:21.835 --> 00:08:24.247
Soldier over radio:
All right, fire, boys,

169
00:08:24.270 --> 00:08:27.581
and engage your target.
Engage your target.

170
00:08:27.607 --> 00:08:30.816
Colt Floyd: Camp Shelby
sucked for the terrain aspect.

171
00:08:30.844 --> 00:08:32.289
But we had a lot of time

172
00:08:32.312 --> 00:08:34.792
to really build
that platoon relationship,

173
00:08:34.814 --> 00:08:36.157
you know,
amongst ourselves.

174
00:08:36.182 --> 00:08:40.096
(all laughing)

175
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.293
That's where the whole bond
starts- right there.

176
00:08:42.322 --> 00:08:43.323
You know, Shelby--

177
00:08:43.356 --> 00:08:44.528
that's where it really
all started.

178
00:08:44.557 --> 00:08:46.503
Soldier:
Set him down, set him down!

179
00:08:46.526 --> 00:08:48.597
Harrill: I remember one day,
Sergeant Wolff

180
00:08:48.628 --> 00:08:51.165
had everybody grab
LT Leehan

181
00:08:51.197 --> 00:08:53.268
and dunk him in the mud
as an introductory

182
00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:55.404
to being first platoon's
platoon leader.

183
00:08:56.503 --> 00:08:58.278
Cameraman:
Leehan, still smiling.

184
00:08:58.304 --> 00:09:01.012
No, get him!
Get him!

185
00:09:01.041 --> 00:09:02.884
(all laughing)

186
00:09:02.909 --> 00:09:05.856
- Aw, man!
- All right, everybody down.

187
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.291
Harrill: Just the way
that LT Leehan handled that

188
00:09:08.314 --> 00:09:10.817
really personified
the camaraderie we would have

189
00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:12.955
and the brotherhood
that would be necessary

190
00:09:12.986 --> 00:09:14.863
to get to the deployment.

191
00:09:14.888 --> 00:09:15.889
Cameraman:
Smile for the camera!

192
00:09:15.922 --> 00:09:17.731
Welcome
to First Platoon, sir.

193
00:09:17.757 --> 00:09:19.668
<i>A“: Ouch:!</i>

194
00:09:19.692 --> 00:09:22.138
- All right.
- ( all applauding)

195
00:09:22.162 --> 00:09:24.301
Yeah, I'd say Leehan
helped me the most

196
00:09:24.330 --> 00:09:26.469
because I felt kind of lost
first coming in.

197
00:09:26.499 --> 00:09:28.877
My first drill with you guys
was in January

198
00:09:28.902 --> 00:09:30.347
right before we left.

199
00:09:30.370 --> 00:09:32.247
The next thing I remember

200
00:09:32.272 --> 00:09:34.081
is us being told,

201
00:09:34.107 --> 00:09:36.610
"Hey, we're only taking
two platoons to Najil."

202
00:09:36.643 --> 00:09:39.123
And we ended up going in
way under-manned.

203
00:09:53.359 --> 00:09:55.270
Harrill: This being
my first deployment,

204
00:09:55.295 --> 00:09:58.276
I definitely looked up
to several individuals

205
00:09:58.298 --> 00:10:00.608
for leadership
and guidance.

206
00:10:00.633 --> 00:10:03.113
LT Leehan was one of them.

207
00:10:03.136 --> 00:10:06.117
Sergeant Erik Wolff
and Sergeant Colson.

208
00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:09.120
Sergeant Colson
wasn't your typical leader.

209
00:10:09.142 --> 00:10:13.113
Tons of experience
and the most absurd appetite.

210
00:10:13.146 --> 00:10:15.023
He'd always have food.

211
00:10:15.048 --> 00:10:16.959
Jared Colson: 15 years
I've been doing this.

212
00:10:16.983 --> 00:10:19.896
I've been through a lot
of fucking life experiences

213
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.865
that shape the way
I look at things,

214
00:10:21.888 --> 00:10:24.562
that change my outlook,
my views, my perspectives,

215
00:10:24.591 --> 00:10:26.229
the way I problem solve.

216
00:10:27.393 --> 00:10:30.272
That's one thing
that the Guard is able

217
00:10:30.296 --> 00:10:31.775
to do very effectively.

218
00:10:31.798 --> 00:10:34.711
We're able to look
at things practically

219
00:10:34.734 --> 00:10:38.238
and not just according
to a manual.

220
00:10:38.271 --> 00:10:40.114
Does that make sense?

221
00:10:44.144 --> 00:10:46.146
We'd heard
that we were going

222
00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:48.250
to be walking
into a firestorm in Najil.

223
00:10:48.281 --> 00:10:49.783
We'd heard stories
about Najil.

224
00:10:49.816 --> 00:10:51.762
We'd heard it was
a hot area.

225
00:10:51.784 --> 00:10:52.990
So we were prepared.

226
00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:54.828
We were prepared
to walk into a shitstorm.

227
00:10:54.854 --> 00:10:57.698
(rock music playing)

228
00:10:57.724 --> 00:10:59.670
Harrill: COB Najil,
our new home

229
00:10:59.692 --> 00:11:02.036
for the next
10,11 months.

230
00:11:05.431 --> 00:11:10.380
(man chanting prayer
over loudspeaker)

231
00:11:24.050 --> 00:11:27.156
Harrill: So I'll never forget,
4:00 in the morning hits

232
00:11:27.187 --> 00:11:30.691
and they start
their call to prayer.

233
00:11:30.723 --> 00:11:31.724
It's all you could hear.

234
00:11:31.758 --> 00:11:33.362
It was just silent
other than that.

235
00:11:33.393 --> 00:11:36.567
And that was kind of--
that was kind of freaky.

236
00:11:36.596 --> 00:11:41.978
(prayer song continues)

237
00:11:42.001 --> 00:11:44.948
The first full day,
we had our first mission

238
00:11:44.971 --> 00:11:47.417
to go to the cell tower.

239
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.477
We quickly learned
that the cell towers

240
00:11:49.509 --> 00:11:52.456
would be a huge focus point
for the Taliban.

241
00:11:52.478 --> 00:11:53.513
Tyler Brown:
I had a sit-down

242
00:11:53.546 --> 00:11:54.923
with the outgoing
platoon leader.

243
00:11:54.948 --> 00:11:56.518
He told me time and time
again- he's like,

244
00:11:56.549 --> 00:11:57.584
"They're out there.

245
00:11:57.617 --> 00:11:58.755
You get to this point,
you're gonna get hit.

246
00:11:58.785 --> 00:12:00.162
You get to that point,
you're gonna get hit."

247
00:12:00.186 --> 00:12:02.223
You just kind of have
this eerie feeling

248
00:12:02.255 --> 00:12:04.792
like you're being watched.

249
00:12:08.194 --> 00:12:09.537
Floyd: Then enemy
maneuver pretty quick

250
00:12:09.562 --> 00:12:11.405
on those mountains.

251
00:12:11.431 --> 00:12:12.535
They've been running
those mountains

252
00:12:12.565 --> 00:12:13.566
for years and years.

253
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.673
They can have high ground
on you in a pretty quick time.

254
00:12:17.704 --> 00:12:18.705
That's pretty scary.

255
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.442
Harrill:
How much further do we got?

256
00:12:23.509 --> 00:12:24.886
Colson:
See, right up there.

257
00:12:24.911 --> 00:12:27.687
Come on, you got
about 200 meters.

258
00:12:27.714 --> 00:12:30.251
Harrill:
I can do this.

259
00:12:30.283 --> 00:12:33.423
(breathing heavily)

260
00:12:33.453 --> 00:12:35.933
Harrill:
Nobody shot at us.

261
00:12:35.955 --> 00:12:38.959
We was just hot as shit
and that was it.

262
00:12:38.992 --> 00:12:41.871
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

263
00:12:42.895 --> 00:12:46.206
I feel like
I'm about to puke.

264
00:12:46.232 --> 00:12:48.974
Colson: Yeah, well,
welcome to Afghanistan.

265
00:12:49.002 --> 00:12:51.505
You good to make it
over to that cell tower?

266
00:12:51.537 --> 00:12:54.814
Harrill: Yeah, I'll make it.
I'll make it.

267
00:12:54.841 --> 00:12:56.843
Colson: All right.
Sip water. Sip some water.

268
00:12:56.876 --> 00:12:58.287
Harrill:
All right, all right.

269
00:12:58.311 --> 00:13:00.814
It's just so mountainous.
It's so mountainous.

270
00:13:00.847 --> 00:13:02.724
Everywhere is up.

271
00:13:02.749 --> 00:13:04.956
( Chuckles )
Everywhere you walk is up.

272
00:13:04.984 --> 00:13:07.191
Harrill:
We went back to the COB

273
00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:09.632
and had tacos or whatever
we had that day

274
00:13:09.656 --> 00:13:11.966
and wrapped it up
and called it a night.

275
00:13:11.991 --> 00:13:13.129
Brown: It was a good
amount of time

276
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:14.763
where it was just
dead nothing.

277
00:13:14.794 --> 00:13:16.671
We'd go out on patrols
and no traffic

278
00:13:16.696 --> 00:13:18.505
for almost a good month.

279
00:13:19.699 --> 00:13:21.508
Jordan Alex:
Come on. Get closer to him.

280
00:13:21.534 --> 00:13:23.514
Get set, go!

281
00:13:23.536 --> 00:13:24.606
Get closer to him.

282
00:13:24.637 --> 00:13:26.139
Come on, Floyd!
Come on, Floyd!

283
00:13:26.172 --> 00:13:29.153
Aw, Floyd's down!
Floyd's down.

284
00:13:30.643 --> 00:13:32.316
Whoa!

285
00:13:32.345 --> 00:13:34.086
Mycal Prince: Alex and his
new pet monkey.

286
00:13:34.113 --> 00:13:36.286
He's cleaning my head.

287
00:13:36.316 --> 00:13:38.626
Is he getting bugs
out of my hair?

288
00:13:38.651 --> 00:13:40.062
Yeah.

289
00:13:40.086 --> 00:13:42.430
They were watching us.
They made us feel comfortable.

290
00:13:42.455 --> 00:13:44.526
And maybe we got
too comfortable.

291
00:13:44.557 --> 00:13:46.969
Prince: Hey, that monkey
really likes you.

292
00:13:46.993 --> 00:13:47.994
How long do you think
it will take--

293
00:13:48.027 --> 00:13:49.199
He's got his nuts
on my neck.

294
00:13:50.663 --> 00:13:51.937
Floyd:
I may or may not

295
00:13:51.964 --> 00:13:53.841
have been
commentating a little bit.

296
00:13:53.866 --> 00:13:56.107
Okay, so we're back here
live on location.

297
00:13:56.135 --> 00:13:58.342
- Lieutenant Leehan.
- This is good...

298
00:13:58.371 --> 00:13:59.873
Floyd:
We've got Prince on station.

299
00:13:59.906 --> 00:14:01.351
Prince:
Ready?

300
00:14:01.374 --> 00:14:03.115
Let's blow
this fighting position.

301
00:14:03.142 --> 00:14:06.487
Go.

302
00:14:06.512 --> 00:14:09.186
- Whoo-hoo!
- ( guns firing)

303
00:14:09.215 --> 00:14:11.718
I love Afghanistan!

304
00:14:11.751 --> 00:14:13.389
One more! One more!

305
00:14:13.419 --> 00:14:15.126
Who didn't pull their pin?

306
00:14:15.154 --> 00:14:17.430
Soldier:
Who didn't pull their pin?

307
00:14:17.457 --> 00:14:19.300
It's still there.
Let's do it again.

308
00:14:19.325 --> 00:14:21.168
Yep, I got one more.

309
00:14:21.194 --> 00:14:23.902
I've got three more.

310
00:14:23.930 --> 00:14:25.910
Floyd: What's your
assessment of this, Prince?

311
00:14:25.932 --> 00:14:27.138
I like it. I'm having fun.

312
00:14:27.166 --> 00:14:28.372
Floyd:
Like it?

313
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.783
Here. You gotta grab--

314
00:14:37.043 --> 00:14:38.488
( grunts)

315
00:14:38.511 --> 00:14:39.785
Come on!

316
00:14:39.812 --> 00:14:41.758
(all laughing)

317
00:14:41.781 --> 00:14:43.158
Really?

318
00:14:44.150 --> 00:14:46.255
On, shit!

319
00:14:46.285 --> 00:14:48.663
Harrill:
For that first month,

320
00:14:48.688 --> 00:14:50.429
everything was silent.

321
00:14:50.456 --> 00:14:52.231
We didn't see the enemy,

322
00:14:52.258 --> 00:14:54.898
we didn't hear
the enemy.

323
00:14:54.927 --> 00:14:57.533
It felt like it was
just my brothers and me

324
00:14:57.563 --> 00:15:00.442
alone in the mountains.

325
00:15:00.466 --> 00:15:04.414
You know, war--
war is boring

326
00:15:04.437 --> 00:15:06.883
until it's punctured
by these moments

327
00:15:06.906 --> 00:15:08.214
or heart-stopping terror.

328
00:15:11.577 --> 00:15:15.650
July 11-- that's a date
that I'll never forget.

329
00:15:15.681 --> 00:15:18.059
The Main Element was going
to do a Key Leader Engagement

330
00:15:18.084 --> 00:15:19.461
just south of Tili.

331
00:15:19.485 --> 00:15:22.193
We were selected
to the overwatch position

332
00:15:22.221 --> 00:15:23.325
for that mission.

333
00:15:23.356 --> 00:15:25.563
Tyler Brown;
Punisher Base, 3-6.

334
00:15:25.591 --> 00:15:30.131
Be advised, SP time now.
Got 1-3 US PAX.

335
00:15:30.163 --> 00:15:32.074
Hey, Alpha, spread out.

336
00:15:32.098 --> 00:15:34.476
Harrill: Hey, don't bunch
it up back there.

337
00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:36.138
Keep your distance.

338
00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:38.479
In Afghanistan, the one thing
that was very important

339
00:15:38.504 --> 00:15:40.142
to to always
maintain the high ground.

340
00:15:40.173 --> 00:15:43.882
Colson: It's hard to get
high ground in Afghanistan

341
00:15:43.910 --> 00:15:47.016
because in that country,
there's always higher ground.

342
00:15:47.046 --> 00:15:49.356
Keep your distance.

343
00:15:49.382 --> 00:15:51.828
Typically, that higher ground
is occupied by the enemy.

344
00:15:52.852 --> 00:15:55.162
Harrill:
Head on a swivel, guys.

345
00:15:55.188 --> 00:15:57.168
Colson: We moved
into our OP position.

346
00:15:57.190 --> 00:15:59.602
There wasn't shit for cover
and concealment.

347
00:15:59.625 --> 00:16:01.298
2-1 Alpha, for 2-1.

348
00:16:01.327 --> 00:16:03.398
Be advised,
our element is in position.

349
00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:05.466
How copy, over.

350
00:16:08.835 --> 00:16:12.282
We would do Key Leader
Engagements

351
00:16:12.305 --> 00:16:15.775
with the village leaders
or the elders.

352
00:16:15.808 --> 00:16:18.379
Lieutenant Leehan
would have us all stay back.

353
00:16:18.411 --> 00:16:19.913
I would even stay back

354
00:16:19.946 --> 00:16:21.721
and I'm always
by his side.

355
00:16:21.747 --> 00:16:23.522
Wagoner:
There's Leehan crossing.

356
00:16:23.549 --> 00:16:24.653
Harrill: All right,
let's stay alert.

357
00:16:24.684 --> 00:16:26.061
Wagoner:
Keep your eyes peeled.

358
00:16:26.085 --> 00:16:29.123
He'd be the one walking
up to that key leader

359
00:16:29.155 --> 00:16:31.192
and introducing himself
to let them know

360
00:16:31.224 --> 00:16:32.794
that we're here,
we're friends.

361
00:16:32.825 --> 00:16:34.805
We want to get
the Taliban out of the area.

362
00:16:34.827 --> 00:16:37.307
Looks like we need
to wrap it up.

363
00:16:37.330 --> 00:16:38.468
Leehan:
Basically, our mission

364
00:16:38.498 --> 00:16:41.138
was to come meet
with the village mayor.

365
00:16:41.167 --> 00:16:42.373
Link up with him,

366
00:16:42.401 --> 00:16:44.779
see what kind of actions
had been going on

367
00:16:44.804 --> 00:16:49.412
<i>as</i> far as Taliban
or any insurgency.

368
00:16:49.442 --> 00:16:51.513
So we came out,
I talked to him,

369
00:16:51.544 --> 00:16:53.023
asked him for things
that they--

370
00:16:53.045 --> 00:16:55.525
he may need for the village.

371
00:16:55.548 --> 00:16:57.892
He told us
he needed security.

372
00:16:57.917 --> 00:16:59.521
It developed from there

373
00:16:59.552 --> 00:17:01.964
that they had some
suspicious-looking people

374
00:17:01.988 --> 00:17:03.126
that he did
not know well

375
00:17:03.155 --> 00:17:04.725
that were living
within the village.

376
00:17:05.725 --> 00:17:07.261
Cameraman:
Okay, is there anything else

377
00:17:07.293 --> 00:17:08.294
you'd like to add, sir?

378
00:17:08.327 --> 00:17:09.328
All right,
appreciate you doing this.

379
00:17:09.362 --> 00:17:11.535
Soldier over radio:
2-2 Bravo 7, please.

380
00:17:11.564 --> 00:17:14.875
201 to get all
these people--

381
00:17:14.901 --> 00:17:16.278
Soldier #2:
Main Element returned.

382
00:17:16.302 --> 00:17:17.645
Excellent, excellent.

383
00:17:17.670 --> 00:17:21.379
Once we get those heights,
we'll turn around and go in.

384
00:17:21.407 --> 00:17:24.752
Harrill:
Yo, you hear that?

385
00:17:24.777 --> 00:17:26.085
Brown:
Hear what?

386
00:17:26.112 --> 00:17:28.683
Where the fuck
did that come from?

387
00:17:28.714 --> 00:17:30.887
(distant gunfire)

388
00:17:32.084 --> 00:17:33.620
Colson:
Contact, contact, contact!

389
00:17:33.653 --> 00:17:35.462
Brown:
Get down, get down, get down!

390
00:17:37.757 --> 00:17:40.533
It's coming from
the other side of the river!

391
00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:43.871
LYQ", you good?
GOFG, YOU good?

392
00:17:43.896 --> 00:17:47.901
Whoa! Get over here.
Get over here.

393
00:17:47.934 --> 00:17:49.607
Harrill:
Hey! Hey!

394
00:17:49.635 --> 00:17:53.014
Contact! Contact!
Over here!

395
00:17:54.407 --> 00:17:56.478
What went through my mind
was, Holy shit,

396
00:17:56.509 --> 00:17:58.079
that's a machine gun.

397
00:17:58.110 --> 00:18:00.886
And I just threw my stuff down,
you know, hit the ground,

398
00:18:00.913 --> 00:18:02.256
and started returning fire.

399
00:18:05.651 --> 00:18:07.597
Colson: We started taking fire
from three different points

400
00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:09.327
on the high ground.

401
00:18:09.355 --> 00:18:11.301
The mountains--
three different angles.

402
00:18:12.658 --> 00:18:14.934
In that vill!
In that vill!

403
00:18:14.961 --> 00:18:17.999
Hey, right here!
Right here! Right here!

404
00:18:18.030 --> 00:18:20.510
Contact over here!

405
00:18:20.533 --> 00:18:23.013
Brown: Right there on top
of that big spur!

406
00:18:23.035 --> 00:18:25.276
Colson:
That draw right there.

407
00:18:29.208 --> 00:18:33.179
That's the first time
I heard the sound--

408
00:18:33.212 --> 00:18:35.249
(imitates bullet whistling)

409
00:18:35.281 --> 00:18:38.387
Bullets are impacting
this giant boulder.

410
00:18:38.417 --> 00:18:41.455
And it becomes
immediately clear

411
00:18:41.487 --> 00:18:43.967
that I'm not being guarded
by the rock,

412
00:18:43.990 --> 00:18:45.560
I'm guarding the rock.

413
00:18:45.591 --> 00:18:48.595
Fragments chipping away
in front of our faces.

414
00:18:48.628 --> 00:18:50.005
( Grunts)

415
00:18:50.029 --> 00:18:52.134
Colson: Damn it,
where is that coming from?

416
00:18:52.164 --> 00:18:54.770
Harrill: Hey, I'm in a bad spot!
I've got to move.

417
00:18:54.800 --> 00:18:56.473
It was very clear
at that point

418
00:18:56.502 --> 00:18:58.140
that we were
kind of sitting ducks.

419
00:18:58.170 --> 00:18:59.581
And we needed to move.

420
00:18:59.605 --> 00:19:02.779
LT Brown spotted
a kind of a courtyard

421
00:19:02.808 --> 00:19:04.719
that was down the mountain.

422
00:19:04.744 --> 00:19:07.987
The problem was
just a straight run

423
00:19:08.014 --> 00:19:11.325
and a prayer down a mountain
that offered no protection.

424
00:19:11.350 --> 00:19:14.263
Brown: Hey, listen,
we gotta bound back, all right?

425
00:19:14.286 --> 00:19:17.233
Harrill: LT just looks at us
and he goes,

426
00:19:17.256 --> 00:19:19.167
"When I say go, go."

427
00:19:19.191 --> 00:19:21.398
Brown:
Hey, pick out a spot!

428
00:19:21.427 --> 00:19:24.203
Know where you're going
before you get up!

429
00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:26.107
As soon as we start shooting,
go, all right?

430
00:19:26.132 --> 00:19:27.634
Colson:
Hey, cover us, cover us.

431
00:19:27.667 --> 00:19:29.340
Brown:
I've got you covered! Go!

432
00:19:29.368 --> 00:19:30.938
Colson:
Go! Go! Go! Go!

433
00:19:30.970 --> 00:19:32.813
Brown: Go, go, move it!
Let's go!

434
00:19:32.838 --> 00:19:35.512
Let's go, Bravo!
Let's go!

435
00:19:35.541 --> 00:19:38.579
- ( Gunfire continues)
- Move, move, move!

436
00:19:44.150 --> 00:19:45.595
Harrill:
Hey, hurry up! Hurry up!

437
00:19:48.521 --> 00:19:50.091
Brown: Hey, let me know
when you guys are set!

438
00:19:50.122 --> 00:19:51.123
We're gonna come
in after y'all!

439
00:19:51.157 --> 00:19:54.730
Harrill:
Bravo set, Bravo set.

440
00:19:54.760 --> 00:19:56.137
Colson:
Set!

441
00:19:56.162 --> 00:19:57.266
Brown: I had
the other guys move first

442
00:19:57.296 --> 00:19:59.003
and I was the last one
to go.

443
00:19:59.031 --> 00:20:01.238
I already had a rock
picked out before I got up.

444
00:20:01.267 --> 00:20:03.975
Hey, I'm moving back!
I'm moving back!

445
00:20:04.003 --> 00:20:06.279
Harrill:
Get behind that rock.

446
00:20:07.973 --> 00:20:10.783
Brown: The rounds
were just flying by us

447
00:20:10.810 --> 00:20:11.811
left and right.

448
00:20:11.844 --> 00:20:15.621
A round just went
right by my face.

449
00:20:15.648 --> 00:20:17.355
(bullet zinging)

450
00:20:17.383 --> 00:20:19.556
Brown:
Whoo!

451
00:20:23.522 --> 00:20:25.627
Brown:
All right, set!

452
00:20:25.658 --> 00:20:27.865
2-1, 2-1, this is 3-6.

453
00:20:27.893 --> 00:20:29.236
Harrill:
Come and boogie!

454
00:20:29.261 --> 00:20:30.638
Brown: We're about halfway
back to you, all right?

455
00:20:30.663 --> 00:20:32.700
Brown: We finally
made it to cover.

456
00:20:32.732 --> 00:20:33.972
Everybody was okay.

457
00:20:33.999 --> 00:20:35.501
And while the guys
were laying down fire,

458
00:20:35.534 --> 00:20:36.740
I was calling back
to the COB

459
00:20:36.769 --> 00:20:38.407
trying to work in air support.

460
00:20:38.437 --> 00:20:40.246
Five seconds.
Ooh, that was quick.

461
00:20:40.272 --> 00:20:42.718
Brown:
Hey, bomb's inbound.

462
00:20:42.742 --> 00:20:44.551
(exploding )

463
00:20:44.577 --> 00:20:46.250
Soldier:
Yeah!

464
00:20:46.278 --> 00:20:49.816
Hell! Viper 1-6, Viper 1-6,
that's a good impact.

465
00:20:49.849 --> 00:20:52.625
Break, break.
Hector two fours, two eight.

466
00:20:52.651 --> 00:20:54.688
Harrill: It was definitely
life or death.

467
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.790
I mean,
there was no way

468
00:20:55.821 --> 00:20:57.027
we were getting out
of that situation

469
00:20:57.056 --> 00:20:59.559
any other way
outside of the air support.

470
00:21:01.994 --> 00:21:05.066
LT Brown,
leadership ability

471
00:21:05.097 --> 00:21:07.805
was really telling
at that point.

472
00:21:07.833 --> 00:21:10.473
Here he is,
a young second lieutenant.

473
00:21:10.503 --> 00:21:14.781
He had no more war experience
than most of us.

474
00:21:14.807 --> 00:21:17.583
But yet, when he spoke,
there was no question

475
00:21:17.610 --> 00:21:20.682
we all knew
that he had made the decision

476
00:21:20.713 --> 00:21:22.920
and that's what
we were going to do.

477
00:21:22.948 --> 00:21:24.655
Brown: That definitely
changed everybody

478
00:21:24.683 --> 00:21:25.684
right then and there

479
00:21:25.718 --> 00:21:28.164
within a matter
of seconds.

480
00:21:28.187 --> 00:21:30.360
Colson:
Later on in the deployment,

481
00:21:30.389 --> 00:21:33.427
we would patrol the area.
We would patrol that road.

482
00:21:33.459 --> 00:21:36.633
And I would look back
on that high ground--

483
00:21:36.662 --> 00:21:38.642
that OP
that we had occupied.

484
00:21:38.664 --> 00:21:40.735
And I thought to myself,
How the fuck

485
00:21:40.766 --> 00:21:42.575
did none of us
get waxed that day?

486
00:21:42.601 --> 00:21:44.672
You know what I mean?
How did none of us die?

487
00:21:44.703 --> 00:21:49.652
It was either
sheer coincidence,

488
00:21:49.675 --> 00:21:51.348
luck,
divine providence,

489
00:21:51.377 --> 00:21:52.947
however you want
to look at it.

490
00:21:52.978 --> 00:21:55.925
But somebody should have
died that day.

491
00:21:55.948 --> 00:21:57.052
Somebody should have died.

492
00:21:57.082 --> 00:21:58.584
And if the tables
were turned,

493
00:21:58.617 --> 00:22:02.258
if it was us that occupied
those high-ground positions,

494
00:22:02.288 --> 00:22:05.929
we would have waxed
every single one of them.

495
00:22:09.862 --> 00:22:12.968
After that, all hell
just broke loose.

496
00:22:15.668 --> 00:22:18.478
(helicopter blades
whirring )

497
00:22:18.504 --> 00:22:20.643
Brown:
The Mayal Valley was okay

498
00:22:20.673 --> 00:22:23.017
until you got
to a certain point.

499
00:22:23.042 --> 00:22:25.579
And as soon as
you hit Kandahar, Parmawan,

500
00:22:25.611 --> 00:22:28.387
you knew shit
was going to hit the fan.

501
00:22:33.085 --> 00:22:34.325
We were headed
to that area to get 'em

502
00:22:34.353 --> 00:22:36.128
to come out and fight.

503
00:22:36.155 --> 00:22:38.795
Up to that point,
we were having a hard time

504
00:22:38.824 --> 00:22:41.202
identifying where these guys
were shooting from.

505
00:22:41.227 --> 00:22:43.571
- ( Gunfire)
- ( soldier shouts)

506
00:22:43.596 --> 00:22:47.408
(shouting continues)

507
00:22:47.433 --> 00:22:49.674
Brown: At first,
it was only small arms fire.

508
00:22:49.702 --> 00:22:52.649
And then an RPG
hits the turret

509
00:22:52.671 --> 00:22:54.651
with my platoon
sergeant in it.

510
00:22:54.673 --> 00:22:56.778
- ( Gun fires )
- Byrne: Oh, shit.

511
00:22:56.809 --> 00:22:58.186
That was right
over my head!

512
00:22:58.210 --> 00:23:00.656
Hey, I just received fire
from our 3:00.

513
00:23:00.679 --> 00:23:02.056
Right over my head.

514
00:23:02.081 --> 00:23:04.322
- ( Gunfire continues)
- Come on!

515
00:23:04.350 --> 00:23:06.796
- ( Crashing )
- ( soldier shouts)

516
00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:09.322
Sergeant Byrne's..

517
00:23:09.355 --> 00:23:12.063
Turret in his vehicle
was blown to shreds.

518
00:23:12.091 --> 00:23:13.968
They call it over the radio,
you know--

519
00:23:13.993 --> 00:23:16.303
"We think his arm's broke.
The turret's off the truck."

520
00:23:16.328 --> 00:23:17.739
Move it, let's go!

521
00:23:17.763 --> 00:23:19.800
Harrill: So we get called
out to plus them up

522
00:23:19.832 --> 00:23:22.039
and provide extra security.

523
00:23:27.806 --> 00:23:30.980
By the time that we got out
to their position,

524
00:23:31.010 --> 00:23:32.489
bombs had already
been dropped

525
00:23:32.511 --> 00:23:34.184
to defuse the situation.

526
00:23:34.213 --> 00:23:35.692
And at that time,
Lieutenant Brown

527
00:23:35.714 --> 00:23:37.159
had got the call
from command

528
00:23:37.182 --> 00:23:38.559
to do a BDA--

529
00:23:38.584 --> 00:23:40.029
a Battle Damage Assessment.

530
00:23:41.387 --> 00:23:43.025
Brown:
2-1 Bravo, 3-6.

531
00:23:44.189 --> 00:23:46.328
Go for 2-1, Bravo.

532
00:23:46.358 --> 00:23:47.359
Brown:
Hey, 2-1 Bravo,

533
00:23:47.393 --> 00:23:48.565
can you get with
your 2-6 element?

534
00:23:48.594 --> 00:23:51.234
I need you guys to push up
and conduct a BDA

535
00:23:51.263 --> 00:23:52.799
where that bomb just hit.

536
00:23:52.831 --> 00:23:55.004
Harrill: Hey, roger,
that's a good copy.

537
00:23:55.034 --> 00:23:57.036
2-1 Bravo out.

538
00:23:57.069 --> 00:24:00.107
Colson:
3-6, 2-1 Alpha, over.

539
00:24:00.139 --> 00:24:01.914
Brown:
This is 3-6. Go ahead.

540
00:24:01.941 --> 00:24:03.284
Colson:
Roger. Be advised,

541
00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:04.310
we're Oscar Mike, over.

542
00:24:04.343 --> 00:24:06.914
Brown: Roger that.
I need you guys

543
00:24:06.946 --> 00:24:10.018
to hurry
as fast as possible.

544
00:24:10.049 --> 00:24:12.689
Colson:
Roger.

545
00:24:12.718 --> 00:24:13.890
Colson:
We found the best route

546
00:24:13.919 --> 00:24:15.057
we could up the mountain.

547
00:24:15.087 --> 00:24:16.464
It was rugged terrain.

548
00:24:17.456 --> 00:24:18.730
Soldier:
They better hurry up

549
00:24:18.757 --> 00:24:20.634
before we get
our truck blown up.

550
00:24:26.031 --> 00:24:28.511
Floyd: There's always
a sense of urgency.

551
00:24:28.534 --> 00:24:30.275
Just think about those trucks
being stopped.

552
00:24:30.302 --> 00:24:31.872
Immediately,
they're soft targets.

553
00:24:31.904 --> 00:24:33.747
Brown: It was just
a matter of time, I felt,

554
00:24:33.772 --> 00:24:35.774
before an RPG was just
going to rip through the side

555
00:24:35.808 --> 00:24:37.810
of the vehicle.

556
00:24:37.843 --> 00:24:39.652
Soldier:
That corn is way too close

557
00:24:39.678 --> 00:24:41.851
for my comfort, brother.

558
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.986
There's something moving
in that cornfield, man.

559
00:24:45.017 --> 00:24:47.395
Soldier #2: All right,
keep your eyes peeled.

560
00:24:47.419 --> 00:24:49.057
Keep your eyes peeled.

561
00:24:55.027 --> 00:24:56.131
(bullet zinging,
glass breaking)

562
00:24:56.161 --> 00:24:57.663
Solder:
What was that?

563
00:24:57.696 --> 00:24:59.141
Soldier over radio:
100 meters.

564
00:24:59.164 --> 00:25:00.802
That was an RPG!

565
00:25:00.833 --> 00:25:03.006
Soldier: Vehicle just
got hit by an RPG!

566
00:25:03.035 --> 00:25:06.209
Harrill:
Fuck. Fuck.

567
00:25:06.238 --> 00:25:09.276
(gunfire)

568
00:25:11.910 --> 00:25:15.221
We need those guys
down here now!

569
00:25:15.247 --> 00:25:18.023
Brown: 2-1 Bravo,
2-1 Bravo. This is 3-6.

570
00:25:18.050 --> 00:25:19.688
Harrill:
3-6 go for 2-1 Bravo.

571
00:25:19.718 --> 00:25:20.788
Brown:
Be advised,

572
00:25:20.819 --> 00:25:22.059
we're under
heavy contact down here.

573
00:25:22.087 --> 00:25:23.361
I need you 9W5
to hurry up.

574
00:25:23.389 --> 00:25:25.027
Harrill: Roger.
We're moving out now.

575
00:25:25.057 --> 00:25:26.832
Alex: We gotta move.
We gotta move.

576
00:25:26.859 --> 00:25:28.065
We can't stay here.

577
00:25:28.093 --> 00:25:29.697
Soldier:
I can't!

578
00:25:29.728 --> 00:25:30.763
- ( Gunfire)
- Soldier #2: Move forward,

579
00:25:30.796 --> 00:25:31.797
move forward!

580
00:25:31.830 --> 00:25:34.436
- It's blocked.
- Move forward!

581
00:25:34.466 --> 00:25:36.446
Soldier over radio:
200 meters.

582
00:25:36.468 --> 00:25:39.381
Prince: In that cornfield
right there!

583
00:25:39.405 --> 00:25:41.214
Soldier:
Hey, who found us?

584
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.245
Driver, move! Move!

585
00:25:49.314 --> 00:25:51.385
Harrill:
Sir, how are we getting down?

586
00:25:51.417 --> 00:25:53.863
-( Bullet zinging)
- Harrill: Contact! Contact!

587
00:25:53.886 --> 00:25:56.196
- Where is it?
- Colson: Shh. Hey, hey.

588
00:25:56.221 --> 00:25:57.359
Shut up, shut up.

589
00:25:57.389 --> 00:25:58.925
Let's move down
in that ravine right there

590
00:25:58.957 --> 00:26:00.698
and reconsolidate
from there. Roger?

591
00:26:00.726 --> 00:26:03.036
- Harrill: Yeah, roger.
- All right, get your guys.

592
00:26:03.062 --> 00:26:06.669
Damn, I'm out.
I'm out. I need more rounds.

593
00:26:06.698 --> 00:26:08.871
I need another round
of ammo.

594
00:26:11.403 --> 00:26:14.782
There is was,
an RPG right beside us.

595
00:26:14.807 --> 00:26:16.912
- RPG-- oh!
- Damn it!

596
00:26:16.942 --> 00:26:18.615
Brown: Roger. I'm feeling
this is a serious kick.

597
00:26:18.644 --> 00:26:21.147
We need air support
like an hour ago, over.

598
00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:22.989
Soldier:
Fuck me!

599
00:26:23.015 --> 00:26:25.188
(gunfire continues)

600
00:26:28.587 --> 00:26:33.730
Colson: We ran into
about a 35-foot drop-off.

601
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:36.296
Just straight down--
straight drop-off.

602
00:26:36.328 --> 00:26:38.365
Harrill: There was only one
way that we were going

603
00:26:38.397 --> 00:26:39.842
to leave that mountain.

604
00:26:39.865 --> 00:26:42.846
And that was jumping
down this-- this cliff.

605
00:26:42.868 --> 00:26:45.041
( Harrill panting )
We can't go down that.

606
00:26:45.070 --> 00:26:46.777
Colson:
There's enemy combatants

607
00:26:46.805 --> 00:26:49.183
on the other side
of this ridge over here

608
00:26:49.208 --> 00:26:51.654
firing down on the village.
We gotta go down.

609
00:26:51.677 --> 00:26:53.281
- We gotta go down.
- Harrill: Okay.

610
00:26:53.312 --> 00:26:56.191
How are we going
to do that?

611
00:26:56.215 --> 00:27:00.095
Colson:
We gotta shed our gear.

612
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.359
Brown: The whole time
we were sitting there,

613
00:27:01.386 --> 00:27:04.299
rounds were just coming off
left and right.

614
00:27:04.323 --> 00:27:06.200
But there was no way
we were leaving

615
00:27:06.225 --> 00:27:08.933
until we
got those guys down.

616
00:27:08.961 --> 00:27:11.305
(all shouting)

617
00:27:13.365 --> 00:27:16.005
Byrne:
There's muzzle flashes coming

618
00:27:16.034 --> 00:27:18.571
from all over
that fucking cornfield.

619
00:27:22.508 --> 00:27:25.114
Floyd: It's jammed again.
I hate this thing. Shit.

620
00:27:25.144 --> 00:27:27.351
Just had a round crack
over my head

621
00:27:27.379 --> 00:27:31.259
and this thing's jammed.
Argh! It's jammed.

622
00:27:31.283 --> 00:27:35.060
Hey, Sergeant Byrne,
it's jammed.

623
00:27:35.087 --> 00:27:38.261
Soldier: All right,
take it easy. Take it easy.

624
00:27:38.290 --> 00:27:40.736
Soldier #2:
Take it slow, take it slow.

625
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.071
Harrill: Thank you--
shit, shit, shit, shit!

626
00:27:45.097 --> 00:27:46.667
Oh!

627
00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:55.340
Floyd: Oh, it's not--
it's nut fucking moving!

628
00:27:55.374 --> 00:28:00.221
Why the fuck is this piece
of shit not working?

629
00:28:00.245 --> 00:28:02.452
Fuck it.

630
00:28:03.615 --> 00:28:06.255
( Fires )

631
00:28:06.285 --> 00:28:08.891
Oh, God. Shit.

632
00:28:08.921 --> 00:28:10.525
- Oh my--
- Colson: You good?

633
00:28:10.556 --> 00:28:11.660
I'm good.
I'm gonna be all right.

634
00:28:11.690 --> 00:28:12.668
My hand's fucked up.

635
00:28:12.691 --> 00:28:14.364
Colson:
Hey, everybody good?

636
00:28:14.393 --> 00:28:15.838
- Yeah.
- Any broken bones?

637
00:28:15.861 --> 00:28:17.067
Nah.

638
00:28:17.095 --> 00:28:19.541
All right, come on.
Let's go.

639
00:28:21.233 --> 00:28:23.873
Harrill: 3-6, 2-1 Bravo,
we have all made it

640
00:28:23.902 --> 00:28:25.848
down the cliff
and suited back up.

641
00:28:25.871 --> 00:28:27.782
We are now headed back
towards your direction,

642
00:28:27.806 --> 00:28:29.308
towards the truck
on the road. How copy.

643
00:28:29.341 --> 00:28:31.150
Air support's on their way.

644
00:28:31.176 --> 00:28:33.178
Here come the birds!

645
00:28:33.212 --> 00:28:36.159
( Radio chatter)

646
00:28:36.181 --> 00:28:39.458
Soldier:
Fuck yeah.

647
00:28:39.484 --> 00:28:41.521
Let's air support
this bitch.

648
00:28:41.553 --> 00:28:44.090
Colson:
Yeah!

649
00:28:49.294 --> 00:28:51.865
Well, you know,
that's what happens

650
00:28:51.897 --> 00:28:53.774
when people shoot at you.

651
00:28:55.634 --> 00:28:57.636
Fuck.

652
00:28:59.137 --> 00:29:01.413
Floyd: 2-1 Bravo,
what's your location?

653
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:02.510
Harrill: Roger.
We're coming up

654
00:29:02.541 --> 00:29:04.782
right behind you
in the truck right now.

655
00:29:05.777 --> 00:29:07.882
Floyd: Roger.
See if maybe you can

656
00:29:07.913 --> 00:29:08.948
hurry it up a little bit.

657
00:29:08.981 --> 00:29:11.052
You guys are kinda taking
your sweet time. Over.

658
00:29:11.083 --> 00:29:13.689
Harrill:
Roger that. 3-2.

659
00:29:13.719 --> 00:29:14.959
I'm trying to get back
for Taco Tuesday as well.

660
00:29:14.987 --> 00:29:16.432
How copy-

661
00:29:16.455 --> 00:29:18.799
Floyd:
Yeah, roger. 3-2 out.

662
00:29:20.425 --> 00:29:23.634
Harrill: We all made it--
we all made it off the cliff.

663
00:29:23.662 --> 00:29:26.836
Colson: I remember thinking
after I came home,

664
00:29:26.865 --> 00:29:29.175
I swore to myself
I was never going

665
00:29:29.201 --> 00:29:31.442
to climb another flight
of fucking stairs

666
00:29:31.470 --> 00:29:32.744
for the rest of my life.

667
00:29:32.771 --> 00:29:34.842
I was gonna take the elevator
everywhere I went

668
00:29:34.873 --> 00:29:37.444
just 'cause I was
so damn tired of climbing.

669
00:29:40.112 --> 00:29:41.682
When I commissioned,

670
00:29:41.713 --> 00:29:43.386
I had two contracts
sitting in front of me--

671
00:29:43.415 --> 00:29:45.986
the Fires brigade
and the Infantry brigade.

672
00:29:46.018 --> 00:29:47.156
So I'm sitting
across the desk

673
00:29:47.185 --> 00:29:48.994
from the female
that was there.

674
00:29:49.021 --> 00:29:50.193
And she's like,
"All right,

675
00:29:50.222 --> 00:29:52.759
you get 10 grand
to go to the Fires brigade.

676
00:29:52.791 --> 00:29:55.032
But you have to give it up
to go to the Infantry brigade."

677
00:29:55.060 --> 00:29:56.869
That was the first time
I had heard that--

678
00:29:56.895 --> 00:29:58.374
that I had to give up
my bonus.

679
00:29:58.397 --> 00:29:59.535
And I was like,
"Gosh dang."

680
00:29:59.564 --> 00:30:01.373
But I wanted to go
to Ranger school,

681
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:03.277
so, you know, I picked--
I picked the Infantry.

682
00:30:03.302 --> 00:30:05.839
Looking back on it now,
like, do you ever think

683
00:30:05.871 --> 00:30:08.010
to yourself, "I should've
took the 10 grand"?

684
00:30:08.040 --> 00:30:10.350
No, no, never, man.

685
00:30:10.375 --> 00:30:12.048
I don't" I don't regret
giving that up.

686
00:30:12.077 --> 00:30:13.385
Not one second.

687
00:30:13.412 --> 00:30:16.052
I wouldn't trade it
for nothing.

688
00:30:18.684 --> 00:30:21.460
(man chanting prayer
over loudspeaker)

689
00:30:27.693 --> 00:30:30.674
Harrill: On the morning
of August 14th,

690
00:30:30.696 --> 00:30:34.109
we were sent on a mission
to do convoy security

691
00:30:34.132 --> 00:30:36.703
for a support company.

692
00:30:40.972 --> 00:30:43.543
Our mission
was to move supplies

693
00:30:43.575 --> 00:30:45.555
up to Alingar District Center.

694
00:30:45.577 --> 00:30:47.079
Along Route Iowa.

695
00:30:48.647 --> 00:30:50.456
Erik Wolff: All Red elements,
all Red elements,

696
00:30:50.482 --> 00:30:52.621
let's go ahead
and move out.

697
00:30:52.651 --> 00:30:56.360
We have been cleared
to continue mission, over.

698
00:30:58.357 --> 00:31:01.304
Wagoner: On the way to the FOB,
we had some intense talks

699
00:31:01.326 --> 00:31:03.169
in that truck.

700
00:31:03.195 --> 00:31:05.175
I remember
Lieutenant Leehan telling us

701
00:31:05.197 --> 00:31:07.700
that he got off the phone
with his daughter

702
00:31:07.733 --> 00:31:09.371
I believe the night
before that.

703
00:31:09.401 --> 00:31:11.108
Her pet passed away

704
00:31:11.136 --> 00:31:13.241
and so he was dealing
with that.

705
00:31:13.271 --> 00:31:15.012
And he just--
he wanted to be there

706
00:31:15.040 --> 00:31:16.917
to help with his daughter

707
00:31:16.942 --> 00:31:19.354
and give her the support.

708
00:31:19.378 --> 00:31:21.722
Hey, guys.
what are you up to?

709
00:31:21.747 --> 00:31:25.661
I am-- I'm in a truck.
Army truck.

710
00:31:25.684 --> 00:31:28.290
Anyways, I thought
I'd give you guys a video.

711
00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:30.857
Just say hi
and I miss you guys.

712
00:31:30.889 --> 00:31:32.300
Love you.

713
00:31:32.324 --> 00:31:35.362
Anyway, I'll talk to you later.
Love you, bye.

714
00:31:37.696 --> 00:31:40.905
Wolff: On the way up
to Alingar District Center,

715
00:31:40.932 --> 00:31:42.104
we had no issues.

716
00:31:42.134 --> 00:31:45.308
No sights,
no true intel

717
00:31:45.337 --> 00:31:49.149
of any possible IEDs
being set up.

718
00:31:49.174 --> 00:31:52.485
Wagoner: The IED threat--
it was always there for us.

719
00:31:52.511 --> 00:31:54.889
You're just anticipating
that detonation

720
00:31:54.913 --> 00:31:56.551
on your truck.

721
00:31:57.783 --> 00:32:00.957
- ( Thumping )
- Whoa, whoa.

722
00:32:03.121 --> 00:32:06.933
Wolff: We arrived
at the Alingar DC on time.

723
00:32:06.958 --> 00:32:09.768
Echo Company
off-loaded their trucks.

724
00:32:09.795 --> 00:32:11.866
Wagoner: Unloading took
a little bit longer

725
00:32:11.897 --> 00:32:13.774
than we thought we really
needed to get out.

726
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.073
So Lieutenant Leehan
decided

727
00:32:15.100 --> 00:32:16.807
that we were going
to be lead vehicle.

728
00:32:18.370 --> 00:32:21.078
Hey, it's Daddy.

729
00:32:21.106 --> 00:32:24.986
Just thought I'd say hi.
Hi, Ethan.

730
00:32:25.010 --> 00:32:27.957
Hi, Ethan.
Love you, buddy.

731
00:32:27.979 --> 00:32:31.392
All right.
Give your mom hell. Love you.

732
00:32:33.852 --> 00:32:35.695
Wagoner: Being the first
in the convoy,

733
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.631
me and Lieutenant Leehan
would dismount,

734
00:32:37.656 --> 00:32:39.966
do our checks
on certain areas.

735
00:32:39.991 --> 00:32:42.403
If something didn't look right,
we would just get out,

736
00:32:42.427 --> 00:32:44.338
check it,
and then if it was good,

737
00:32:44.362 --> 00:32:46.364
we'd get back in
and drive off.

738
00:32:48.834 --> 00:32:50.643
Wolff:
Red-1, this is Red-7.

739
00:32:50.669 --> 00:32:53.047
Need you to go ahead
and halt the convoy. Break.

740
00:32:53.071 --> 00:32:54.277
Wagoner:
Hold on, hold on.

741
00:32:54.306 --> 00:32:55.808
Yeah, it's nothing good.

742
00:32:55.841 --> 00:32:58.617
Wolff: Better go ahead
and get your dismounts out.

743
00:32:58.643 --> 00:33:00.350
Need to go ahead
and start clearing the route

744
00:33:00.378 --> 00:33:01.584
for IEDs.

745
00:33:01.613 --> 00:33:04.219
Break.

746
00:33:04.249 --> 00:33:07.355
Wagoner: MZ, if I were you,
I'd walk behind us.

747
00:33:07.385 --> 00:33:10.696
- There you go.
-( radio chatter)

748
00:33:10.722 --> 00:33:14.795
Wolff: Report anything
out of the ordinary

749
00:33:14.826 --> 00:33:17.864
back up to me
and I will relay to Red-G

750
00:33:17.896 --> 00:33:19.534
and up to Battalion, over.

751
00:33:22.534 --> 00:33:25.538
Soldier over radio:
2-3 Alpha, this is 2-7.

752
00:33:25.570 --> 00:33:27.277
- Leehan: See anything?
- I don't see anything.

753
00:33:27.305 --> 00:33:29.410
- Just garbage?
- Yeah.

754
00:33:36.515 --> 00:33:38.517
Soldier over radio:
Roger, Red-1, I copy.

755
00:33:38.550 --> 00:33:40.461
Route's clear.

756
00:33:40.485 --> 00:33:42.465
Go ahead and load up,
dismount,

757
00:33:42.487 --> 00:33:44.626
and then continue
on the mission.

758
00:33:54.933 --> 00:33:59.109
2-1 Bravo, this
is 2-3 Alpha. Over.

759
00:33:59.137 --> 00:34:01.981
Wagoner: Leehan,
are we good to start moving?

760
00:34:02.007 --> 00:34:04.044
Hey, start going.
You're good.

761
00:34:04.075 --> 00:34:07.454
Leehan: He's got--
oh, he's got room, sir.

762
00:34:07.479 --> 00:34:09.959
Soldier over radio:
2-2 Bravo 7...

763
00:34:09.981 --> 00:34:12.222
...to get all
these people out--

764
00:34:12.250 --> 00:34:15.254
if we can get them
to our location, over.

765
00:34:15.287 --> 00:34:18.530
Leehan: Trying to get
some speed to get up the hill.

766
00:34:18.557 --> 00:34:21.231
Hey, driver, when you stop,
man, you've got to try

767
00:34:21.259 --> 00:34:23.102
to be aware
of your surroundings.

768
00:34:23.128 --> 00:34:25.369
Wolff:
Red-B, Red-6--

769
00:34:25.397 --> 00:34:27.570
(explosion )

770
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:31.274
(muffled shouting)

771
00:34:40.812 --> 00:34:43.884
Soldier:
Oh, we're hit.

772
00:34:43.915 --> 00:34:46.088
- IED.
- Soldier: Shit.

773
00:34:46.117 --> 00:34:48.222
Wolff:
IED! IED! IED!

774
00:34:48.253 --> 00:34:50.961
Hit the number one VIC!

775
00:34:50.989 --> 00:34:55.199
Wolff: Red-S, Red-S,
This is Red-7, over.

776
00:34:55.226 --> 00:34:58.901
Wolff: Red-S, Red-S,
This is Red-7, over.

777
00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:04.446
(shouting, clamoring)

778
00:35:05.837 --> 00:35:08.010
(radio beeping)

779
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:11.543
Wolff: Red-S, Red-S,
This is Red-7, over.

780
00:35:11.576 --> 00:35:13.214
( Beeping )

781
00:35:13.244 --> 00:35:14.814
Wolff:
Dismounts, I'm getting

782
00:35:14.846 --> 00:35:16.553
negative response
from Red-6.

783
00:35:16.581 --> 00:35:19.892
Wagoner: We were all buckled
in and hanging upside down

784
00:35:19.918 --> 00:35:22.728
trying to think to yourself,
what just happened?

785
00:35:22.754 --> 00:35:25.496
And we kept screaming
for Lieutenant Leehan

786
00:35:25.523 --> 00:35:28.561
and we weren't hearing
anything.

787
00:35:29.694 --> 00:35:32.402
You know,
you just knew.

788
00:35:32.430 --> 00:35:34.273
- We've got guys down.
- It's Leehan!

789
00:35:34.299 --> 00:35:35.869
Hey! We need the medic!

790
00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:37.277
- He can't breathe.
- They're coming right now.

791
00:35:40.672 --> 00:35:41.673
Medic!

792
00:35:41.706 --> 00:35:43.310
Leehan is not responding!

793
00:35:43.341 --> 00:35:44.649
You all right, man?

794
00:35:44.676 --> 00:35:47.088
Medic: Anywhere else hurt?
In your chest?

795
00:35:47.112 --> 00:35:49.615
You felt-- your arms?

796
00:35:49.648 --> 00:35:53.926
Legs?
X-ray, this is 2-6...

797
00:35:53.952 --> 00:35:56.091
Wagoner:
Get his fuckin' kit off.

798
00:35:56.121 --> 00:35:58.328
Soldier:
Leehan!

799
00:36:01.326 --> 00:36:04.773
Wolff: The noise
of that IED going off

800
00:36:04.796 --> 00:36:08.039
sounded like no other explosion
I'd ever heard before.

801
00:36:08.066 --> 00:36:12.981
I tried four or five times

802
00:36:13.004 --> 00:36:15.985
if not more
to try to raise his truck

803
00:36:16.007 --> 00:36:17.918
on the radio.

804
00:36:17.942 --> 00:36:22.015
Red-G, Red-S,
this is Red-7, over.

805
00:36:23.348 --> 00:36:26.522
Negative contact.
Red-7 out.

806
00:36:29.020 --> 00:36:32.433
All I ever got back
was static.

807
00:36:59.551 --> 00:37:02.657
The one thing that sticks
to me about Damon

808
00:37:02.687 --> 00:37:05.327
was just his smirk.

809
00:37:05.356 --> 00:37:07.927
No matter what was going on,
good or bad,

810
00:37:07.959 --> 00:37:09.961
he always smirked.

811
00:37:09.994 --> 00:37:11.632
Soldier:
Aw, man!

812
00:37:11.663 --> 00:37:15.372
All right,
everybody down.

813
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.175
Cameraman:
Smile for the camera.

814
00:37:17.202 --> 00:37:18.340
Smile for the camera.

815
00:37:18.369 --> 00:37:19.473
Welcome
to First Platoon, sir.

816
00:37:19.504 --> 00:37:22.041
- All: Ooh!
- All right.

817
00:37:24.876 --> 00:37:28.517
Wolff: He was truly
irreplaceable.

818
00:37:28.546 --> 00:37:33.359
He was the glue
that kept-- kept us together.

819
00:37:33.384 --> 00:37:37.491
I would say
we were best friends.

820
00:37:37.522 --> 00:37:42.096
I had to cram
all those emotions

821
00:37:42.127 --> 00:37:43.902
down deep inside

822
00:37:43.928 --> 00:37:46.670
to continue
on the mission.

823
00:38:03.114 --> 00:38:05.526
Harrill: The memorial service
for LT Leehan

824
00:38:05.550 --> 00:38:07.530
was going to be
a Mihtarlam

825
00:38:07.552 --> 00:38:09.828
It was about a three,
four-hour drive.

826
00:38:09.854 --> 00:38:12.300
We wanted to make sure
that we were there

827
00:38:12.323 --> 00:38:14.303
<i>so</i> we could pay
our respects

828
00:38:14.325 --> 00:38:16.430
to an incredible leader.

829
00:38:16.461 --> 00:38:19.101
Brown: I think we were
almost halfway down there.

830
00:38:19.130 --> 00:38:23.510
And I'm in the lead vehicle
with Sergeant Prince.

831
00:38:23.535 --> 00:38:25.572
Prince is in the turret

832
00:38:25.603 --> 00:38:27.776
and we're slowly
creeping up the hill.

833
00:38:27.806 --> 00:38:29.808
And Prince
tells me to stop,

834
00:38:29.841 --> 00:38:32.447
tells us to stop.
So Colt stops the vehicle.

835
00:38:32.477 --> 00:38:34.548
Hold on, hold on, hold...

836
00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:35.717
Prince:
It's right there.

837
00:38:35.747 --> 00:38:37.988
Yeah, it's an IED.

838
00:38:38.016 --> 00:38:39.222
Brown:
Hey, roger, be advised,

839
00:38:39.250 --> 00:38:42.094
3-2 Alpha has eyes
on a possible IED. Over.

840
00:38:43.855 --> 00:38:47.564
Really?
Another IED?

841
00:38:49.894 --> 00:38:52.568
It's right here.
I'm looking at it.

842
00:38:52.597 --> 00:38:54.008
Is it this little
paper bag thing?

843
00:38:54.032 --> 00:38:55.568
Wagoner:
Yeah, it's the paper bag thing.

844
00:38:55.600 --> 00:38:57.409
Yeah, with fucking wires
hooked on it?

845
00:38:57.435 --> 00:38:59.381
Yeah.

846
00:38:59.404 --> 00:39:00.712
Who called that?

847
00:39:00.738 --> 00:39:02.012
Brown:
Roger, 2-1 Bravo.

848
00:39:02.040 --> 00:39:05.249
Be advised,
Prince has eyes on it.

849
00:39:05.276 --> 00:39:07.153
That's a good fucking spot.

850
00:39:09.214 --> 00:39:10.625
Brown:
Hey, good job, Prince.

851
00:39:10.648 --> 00:39:12.650
I wouldn't have
even seen that, man.

852
00:39:12.684 --> 00:39:14.220
Soldier:
Nice job, Prince.

853
00:39:15.887 --> 00:39:18.197
Brown: We finally
get a call from battalion

854
00:39:18.223 --> 00:39:20.863
telling us to hold tight,
EOD is on the way.

855
00:39:20.892 --> 00:39:24.362
We decide to set up
360 security around the IED.

856
00:39:24.395 --> 00:39:27.035
Soldier:
As-salamu alaykum.

857
00:39:28.566 --> 00:39:31.012
2-1 Bravo,
this is 3-6. Over.

858
00:39:31.035 --> 00:39:33.641
Harrill:
Roger, Go for 2-1 Bravo.

859
00:39:33.671 --> 00:39:35.947
Brown:
Get with your 2-7 element

860
00:39:35.974 --> 00:39:37.976
and see if I can
get some of you guys

861
00:39:38.009 --> 00:39:41.650
to push to the high ground
to provide security. Over.

862
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:45.058
Harrill:
Roger. That's good copy.

863
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.664
Brown:
2-1 Bravo, 3-6.

864
00:39:51.689 --> 00:39:53.862
Let me know when you guys
get set in.

865
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:58.741
Harrill:
Right, that's a good copy.

866
00:40:05.470 --> 00:40:07.746
- RPG!
. ( explosion)

867
00:40:07.772 --> 00:40:10.309
- Whoa!
- Shit, that was close.

868
00:40:10.341 --> 00:40:12.787
I head an RPG
over our heads.

869
00:40:12.810 --> 00:40:14.312
(explosion )

870
00:40:14.345 --> 00:40:16.757
Soldier:
RPG! RPG!

871
00:40:16.781 --> 00:40:18.920
Hey, we gotta go.
We gotta go, we gotta go.

872
00:40:18.950 --> 00:40:21.794
Harrill:
3-6, be advised that the RPG

873
00:40:21.819 --> 00:40:24.561
hit about 30 meters
from us. Break.

874
00:40:24.589 --> 00:40:25.795
( Beeping )

875
00:40:25.823 --> 00:40:30.772
We're going to push up
and we're going to try

876
00:40:30.795 --> 00:40:31.899
to get a clear view
across the river. How copy?

877
00:40:31.930 --> 00:40:34.877
Hammy, Hammy,
come on! Come on!

878
00:40:34.899 --> 00:40:37.004
Let's go! Come on.

879
00:40:38.403 --> 00:40:40.041
Brown:
Hey, Prince! Hey!

880
00:40:40.071 --> 00:40:42.176
They're shooting from
the other side of the river.

881
00:40:42.206 --> 00:40:44.880
Hey, look
on the other side!

882
00:40:44.909 --> 00:40:47.947
Gunter! Hey, go grab
some ammo from the truck.

883
00:40:47.979 --> 00:40:49.652
Hurry up!

884
00:40:49.681 --> 00:40:51.752
Prince: Damn it,
show me some movement.

885
00:40:53.584 --> 00:40:56.326
Harrill: All right, now there--
there's buildings up there.

886
00:40:56.354 --> 00:40:59.699
There's buildings up there.
Okay, all right.

887
00:40:59.724 --> 00:41:01.465
We're in this
dangerous situation.

888
00:41:01.492 --> 00:41:03.130
You got three IEDs

889
00:41:03.161 --> 00:41:04.765
that are daisy-chained
together.

890
00:41:04.796 --> 00:41:08.039
And the trigger man
is out there still somewhere.

891
00:41:08.066 --> 00:41:11.138
At any point in time,
they could set these off.

892
00:41:11.169 --> 00:41:13.706
Brown:
3-6, 3-6, 2-1 Bravo.

893
00:41:13.738 --> 00:41:15.740
Colson:
3-6, go ahead.

894
00:41:17.709 --> 00:41:19.245
Harrill:
Roger, 3-6, be advised

895
00:41:19.277 --> 00:41:21.257
that there's
some buildings up here

896
00:41:21.279 --> 00:41:22.917
that we're going
to have to clear.

897
00:41:22.947 --> 00:41:24.756
Once we get them cleared,
let's try to establish

898
00:41:24.782 --> 00:41:26.455
a clear line of sight
along that road

899
00:41:26.484 --> 00:41:28.327
watching the rest
of the convoy. How copy?

900
00:41:28.353 --> 00:41:29.661
Brown:
Hey, roger, I copy all.

901
00:41:29.687 --> 00:41:31.530
Don't push too far
into that village, though.

902
00:41:31.556 --> 00:41:32.933
(Harrill panting)
All right.

903
00:41:32.957 --> 00:41:34.436
All right, no,
I'm right behind you.

904
00:41:34.459 --> 00:41:36.632
I'm right behind you.
I'm right behind you.

905
00:41:36.661 --> 00:41:39.141
- All right.
- Is it clear?

906
00:41:39.163 --> 00:41:41.006
- You see anything?
- Hammy: All clear, all clear.

907
00:41:41.032 --> 00:41:42.477
All right.

908
00:41:49.607 --> 00:41:51.245
Harrill:
You see anything?

909
00:41:51.275 --> 00:41:52.879
All right, go through
the next one.

910
00:41:52.910 --> 00:41:55.823
Now see that?
See that clearing right there?

911
00:41:55.847 --> 00:41:57.986
We can see
over the road.

912
00:42:06.591 --> 00:42:10.300
I'm taking over here.
Hammy, come over here.

913
00:42:10.328 --> 00:42:12.103
Set up right there.

914
00:42:15.967 --> 00:42:17.503
Brown:
Roger. Be advised,

915
00:42:17.535 --> 00:42:18.980
they're setting up position.
How copy?

916
00:42:20.571 --> 00:42:22.244
Soldier:
663!

917
00:42:22.273 --> 00:42:24.514
Brown: Hey, Prince, you got eyes
on those guys over there?

918
00:42:24.542 --> 00:42:25.612
- Prince: I'm looking!
- Brown: Hey, make sure

919
00:42:25.643 --> 00:42:27.281
you're watching
down in that group of trees.

920
00:42:27.311 --> 00:42:29.291
Prince: Hey, sir, sir!
Across the way.

921
00:42:29.313 --> 00:42:31.054
- Movement on the roof.
- Brown: What?

922
00:42:32.350 --> 00:42:34.455
Harrill:
You good?

923
00:42:34.485 --> 00:42:35.987
You good?

924
00:42:36.020 --> 00:42:37.260
All right.

925
00:42:50.201 --> 00:42:52.010
Hey, we got a guy
on the roof. Hey.

926
00:42:52.036 --> 00:42:54.016
Hammy, get up here.
Get up here.

927
00:42:54.038 --> 00:42:57.178
Right across the river.
Right up on the roof.

928
00:42:57.208 --> 00:43:01.486
3-6, be advised,
directly to our right,

929
00:43:01.512 --> 00:43:03.719
we have some villages.

930
00:43:03.748 --> 00:43:05.887
It looks like there's individuals still
on the road.

931
00:43:05.917 --> 00:43:08.693
We'll keep you advised
of the situation. How copy?

932
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.189
Brown: Roger that,
2-1 Bravo. Good copy.

933
00:43:12.223 --> 00:43:14.931
Soldier: He does not look
like a local Afghan.

934
00:43:16.661 --> 00:43:17.696
Harrill:
I think he has a weapon.

935
00:43:17.728 --> 00:43:18.763
Let me see.

936
00:43:18.796 --> 00:43:19.797
Yeah, he has a weapon.

937
00:43:21.265 --> 00:43:23.074
All right.

938
00:43:23.101 --> 00:43:25.308
You got a clean shot.

939
00:43:34.145 --> 00:43:35.954
(gun firing)

940
00:43:37.882 --> 00:43:38.883
Did you get him?

941
00:43:38.916 --> 00:43:40.691
I got him.

942
00:43:40.718 --> 00:43:42.391
Brown:
2-1 Bravo, 3-6.

943
00:43:42.420 --> 00:43:44.161
Road is clear.
We're ready to move out.

944
00:43:44.188 --> 00:43:46.532
Get your guys to move
back down to the base.

945
00:43:46.557 --> 00:43:47.661
3-6 out.

946
00:43:50.094 --> 00:43:52.165
Brown:
Finally EOD shows up.

947
00:43:52.196 --> 00:43:54.005
You know, we're telling--
we're briefing him,

948
00:43:54.031 --> 00:43:55.942
"Hey, we just got hit,
you know, twice.

949
00:43:55.967 --> 00:43:57.002
We need you
to take care of this IED

950
00:43:57.034 --> 00:43:58.274
so we can
get out of here."

951
00:43:58.302 --> 00:44:00.179
Soldier: EOD is up!
We're ready.

952
00:44:00.204 --> 00:44:01.774
Yep, let's get going.

953
00:44:01.806 --> 00:44:03.808
Soldier #2: Yeah.

954
00:44:03.841 --> 00:44:06.014
Harrill: It's a good thing
that Sergeant Prince

955
00:44:06.043 --> 00:44:07.681
spotted the IED

956
00:44:07.712 --> 00:44:10.352
'cause with that,
he saved a lot of damn lives.

957
00:44:14.418 --> 00:44:16.557
Damn.

958
00:44:19.490 --> 00:44:21.333
Soldier: That was--
that was, like,

959
00:44:21.359 --> 00:44:24.602
actually way bigger
than the first two.

960
00:44:24.629 --> 00:44:27.439
Soldier #2: Yeah, that
looked like the actual charge.

961
00:44:27.465 --> 00:44:28.944
Yeah.

962
00:44:31.536 --> 00:44:33.140
From the point
of us loading up

963
00:44:33.171 --> 00:44:35.151
and actually arriving
in Mihtarlam,

964
00:44:35.173 --> 00:44:38.279
I bet we stopped,
like, six or seven times

965
00:44:38.309 --> 00:44:41.950
due to the damage that
the RPGs did on the vehicles.

966
00:44:41.979 --> 00:44:45.426
Remember, we used one
of the medic's surgical tape--

967
00:44:45.449 --> 00:44:46.792
Yeah, tape
on the brake lines.

968
00:44:46.817 --> 00:44:48.455
Put the tape
on the brake lines.

969
00:44:48.486 --> 00:44:49.521
We made it through,

970
00:44:49.554 --> 00:44:50.828
<i>so</i> talkin' about adapting
and overcoming--

971
00:44:50.855 --> 00:44:52.425
Specifically,
'cause I remember thinking,

972
00:44:52.456 --> 00:44:54.094
"Gosh damn it, can't you
just leave us alone?"

973
00:44:54.125 --> 00:44:56.002
- Right, give us a day.
- For one day? For one day?

974
00:44:56.027 --> 00:44:57.563
Can you just leave me alone
for one day?

975
00:44:57.595 --> 00:44:59.006
- Let me go do this?
- Yeah.

976
00:44:59.030 --> 00:45:01.032
And then you can jack
with me all you want--

977
00:45:01.065 --> 00:45:03.511
- We'll play tomorrow.
- All you want.

978
00:45:03.534 --> 00:45:06.208
Yeah, they just--
they wouldn't let up.

979
00:45:14.812 --> 00:45:17.918
(gun firing)

980
00:45:17.949 --> 00:45:20.623
(firing continues)

981
00:45:23.754 --> 00:45:25.859
Officer:
Present arms!

982
00:45:25.890 --> 00:45:27.995
Leehan's father:
One of the things that Damon did

983
00:45:28.025 --> 00:45:30.062
was he went out with
the interpreter by himself

984
00:45:30.094 --> 00:45:31.266
without his guys.

985
00:45:31.295 --> 00:45:33.536
Finally got to the point
where the interpreter

986
00:45:33.564 --> 00:45:37.205
was very nervous.
He didn't even like it.

987
00:45:37.235 --> 00:45:40.239
And so his wife called
and said, "Hey,

988
00:45:40.271 --> 00:45:42.410
"I think you need
to talk to your son.

989
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.114
He's kind of putting himself
in harm's way."

990
00:45:45.142 --> 00:45:47.122
And so the next time
he called,

991
00:45:47.144 --> 00:45:49.021
I talked to him
and I said, "Hey,

992
00:45:49.046 --> 00:45:51.185
"I know you're trying
to bridge the gap

993
00:45:51.215 --> 00:45:53.024
"and you're trying
to be a good soldier,

994
00:45:53.050 --> 00:45:54.996
"but, you know,
we just want you home.

995
00:45:55.019 --> 00:45:56.862
We don't want you
getting hurt."

996
00:45:56.887 --> 00:45:59.026
And he said,
"Yeah, I know, Dad.

997
00:45:59.056 --> 00:46:00.057
"But, you know,
this is something

998
00:46:00.091 --> 00:46:02.435
I have to do
to show trust."

999
00:46:02.460 --> 00:46:04.770
So he did
what he believed in.

1000
00:46:04.795 --> 00:46:07.639
As a result,
we found out at the funeral

1001
00:46:07.665 --> 00:46:11.078
that 350 Afghan leaders

1002
00:46:11.102 --> 00:46:14.413
and village people came
to his sending-off.

1003
00:46:14.438 --> 00:46:17.385
Because he did touch them.

1004
00:47:11.662 --> 00:47:14.575
Wolff: A couple weeks
after Damon died,

1005
00:47:14.598 --> 00:47:16.600
I was told that
Lieutenant Leehan

1006
00:47:16.634 --> 00:47:18.978
was not going
to be replaced.

1007
00:47:19.003 --> 00:47:22.314
We were completely
satisfied with this.

1008
00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:26.083
We had created that family

1009
00:47:26.110 --> 00:47:30.183
and didn't want
anybody else in it.

1010
00:47:32.516 --> 00:47:34.689
We were gonna fight
with what we had

1011
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.859
and we were going to continue
on and get the mission done.

1012
00:47:45.196 --> 00:47:47.403
Brown: When Leehan got killed,
it was the first time

1013
00:47:47.431 --> 00:47:49.035
we'd lost somebody.

1014
00:47:49.066 --> 00:47:50.909
A lot of us,
including me,

1015
00:47:50.935 --> 00:47:53.040
wanted that--
that revenge

1016
00:47:53.070 --> 00:47:56.244
to go out and kick some ass
and get 'em back.

1017
00:47:56.273 --> 00:47:57.946
But at the same time,

1018
00:47:57.975 --> 00:48:00.251
you know,
being in a leadership role,

1019
00:48:00.277 --> 00:48:02.348
I had to make sure
that everybody stayed calm,

1020
00:48:02.380 --> 00:48:05.827
cool and collected
as a team.

1021
00:48:10.020 --> 00:48:13.729
The second platoon
was going to conduct a KLE

1022
00:48:13.758 --> 00:48:15.738
somewhere towards
Alishing DC.

1023
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:19.207
I'm on the COB
for QRF

1024
00:48:19.230 --> 00:48:22.211
and we get a call saying
second's hit an IED.

1025
00:48:25.603 --> 00:48:27.981
Brown over radio:
3-2, this is 3-6.

1026
00:48:28.005 --> 00:48:30.952
Soldier:
3-6, 3-2, go ahead.

1027
00:48:30.975 --> 00:48:33.114
Brown: Get your guys
out and let's push through

1028
00:48:33.144 --> 00:48:34.748
on the east side
of this little brush

1029
00:48:34.779 --> 00:48:35.985
right here through the corn.

1030
00:48:36.013 --> 00:48:38.425
See if we
can spot this guy.

1031
00:48:38.449 --> 00:48:39.792
Camera rolling?

1032
00:48:39.817 --> 00:48:41.888
Alex: Yeah, I just
started it up again.

1033
00:48:41.919 --> 00:48:44.399
Let's give 'em a brief.

1034
00:48:44.422 --> 00:48:45.765
Just wanna
welcome everybody

1035
00:48:45.790 --> 00:48:47.599
to Damn-sure-bad,
Afghanistan.

1036
00:48:47.625 --> 00:48:49.901
We've got Daniel Marquez
on station with me.

1037
00:48:49.927 --> 00:48:51.429
Just had an IED blast.

1038
00:48:51.462 --> 00:48:53.533
We're going to try and find
this little corn ninja

1039
00:48:53.564 --> 00:48:55.544
down here in the corn.

1040
00:48:55.566 --> 00:48:57.136
I'm gonna shoot
his fuckin' ass off.

1041
00:48:57.168 --> 00:48:59.409
- I'm gonna shoot him.
- shit's gonna be crazy.

1042
00:48:59.437 --> 00:49:01.747
- Alex: Hey, Sergeant Prince?
- Yeah?

1043
00:49:01.772 --> 00:49:03.217
You got that incendiary?

1044
00:49:03.240 --> 00:49:04.776
Prince:
Yeah.

1045
00:49:04.809 --> 00:49:06.982
Alex:
You should let me have it.

1046
00:49:07.011 --> 00:49:10.220
Prince: You can't throw it.
It'll burn down everything.

1047
00:49:10.247 --> 00:49:12.454
Alex:
We're gonna go in there!

1048
00:49:12.483 --> 00:49:13.791
Prince: I know.
You can't throw it

1049
00:49:13.818 --> 00:49:15.126
when you're in there.

1050
00:49:15.152 --> 00:49:17.325
Alex:
Not if we're exfilling.

1051
00:49:25.095 --> 00:49:27.268
Brown:
All right, let's move.

1052
00:49:34.939 --> 00:49:36.748
Look at the size
of that hole.

1053
00:49:36.774 --> 00:49:39.254
Gosh damn,
that's a big one.

1054
00:49:39.276 --> 00:49:40.755
There's no wonder
we couldn't find it.

1055
00:49:40.778 --> 00:49:43.156
It was damn near
dug underneath the asphalt.

1056
00:49:43.180 --> 00:49:45.922
Hey, see if we can
spot the wire.

1057
00:49:45.950 --> 00:49:48.021
Brown: You know,
the money comes from America

1058
00:49:48.052 --> 00:49:52.228
to pay these Afghan contractors
to build these roads.

1059
00:49:52.256 --> 00:49:55.669
But at the same time,
the Taliban uses their funds

1060
00:49:55.693 --> 00:49:57.570
and power to come in

1061
00:49:57.595 --> 00:49:59.597
and have
these construction workers

1062
00:49:59.630 --> 00:50:03.271
put these IEDs in the road
as they're paving over it.

1063
00:50:03.300 --> 00:50:05.109
You know,
there's little to no chance

1064
00:50:05.135 --> 00:50:07.615
to even be able to know
that they're under there.

1065
00:50:07.638 --> 00:50:08.878
All right, hey, hey,

1066
00:50:08.906 --> 00:50:11.614
push out, see if you can find
the end of the wire.

1067
00:50:11.642 --> 00:50:14.623
Rog, you gotta
spread out a little bit.

1068
00:50:18.516 --> 00:50:19.688
You guys let me know

1069
00:50:19.717 --> 00:50:21.856
if you can see
anything on the ground.

1070
00:50:29.560 --> 00:50:32.063
Harrill: 3-6, be advised,
we have eyes on your element

1071
00:50:32.096 --> 00:50:34.098
as you move through
the cornfields.

1072
00:50:34.131 --> 00:50:37.476
Brown:
Roger, I copy all. 3-6 out.

1073
00:50:37.501 --> 00:50:40.038
Alex: Hey, you guys
stay spread out.

1074
00:50:40.070 --> 00:50:43.142
Sir, this looks
like the end of it.

1075
00:50:43.173 --> 00:50:45.949
Floyd: If that's the end of it,
he can't be too far off.

1076
00:50:45.976 --> 00:50:48.388
He could be right out there
in that corn.

1077
00:50:56.353 --> 00:50:58.230
Brown: Hey, when we push
through this corn,

1078
00:50:58.255 --> 00:51:00.462
y'all try to be quiet
so we can hear this guy moving.

1079
00:51:00.491 --> 00:51:02.994
Make sure you guys
stay spread out.

1080
00:51:10.901 --> 00:51:12.608
All right, hey,
just push up to the edge.

1081
00:51:12.636 --> 00:51:13.944
We'll stop right here.

1082
00:51:13.971 --> 00:51:15.712
Brown:
You guys stay spread out.

1083
00:51:17.174 --> 00:51:18.778
Hey, look.

1084
00:51:18.809 --> 00:51:21.847
We've got movement in the corn
right there at 1:00.

1085
00:51:21.879 --> 00:51:23.722
Harrill:
That's ANA.

1086
00:51:23.747 --> 00:51:26.227
That's not ANA.

1087
00:51:26.250 --> 00:51:27.923
What the fuck is that?

1088
00:51:33.557 --> 00:51:34.695
Alex:
I wish we could make it

1089
00:51:34.725 --> 00:51:35.965
down to that creek
down there.

1090
00:51:35.993 --> 00:51:37.301
Brown: They're gonna
fucking draw us down there

1091
00:51:37.328 --> 00:51:39.274
and then they're gonna
fucking hit us.

1092
00:51:39.296 --> 00:51:41.833
Alex: Exactly what
I was thinking too.

1093
00:51:44.368 --> 00:51:47.815
Harrill: 3-6, be advised
that there is smoke

1094
00:51:47.838 --> 00:51:49.283
coming from the village.

1095
00:51:49.306 --> 00:51:52.719
Not sure if it's an indicator
of negative activity.

1096
00:51:52.743 --> 00:51:53.847
Just want you
to be cautious

1097
00:51:53.877 --> 00:51:55.322
that we have eyes on it
as well.

1098
00:51:55.346 --> 00:51:57.656
How copy?

1099
00:51:57.681 --> 00:52:00.560
Brown: It's probably
a fucking signal.

1100
00:52:06.290 --> 00:52:08.395
Go in a little bit more?

1101
00:52:08.425 --> 00:52:10.735
Hey, get with the plan.

1102
00:52:10.761 --> 00:52:14.573
Brown: The ANA just keep
walking out into the open.

1103
00:52:14.598 --> 00:52:17.545
You'd like to think
that the people

1104
00:52:17.568 --> 00:52:20.515
are leading
your counterpart ANA forces

1105
00:52:20.537 --> 00:52:24.349
are on your side,
but who's to say?

1106
00:52:24.375 --> 00:52:26.446
Who's to say who
they're taking money from?

1107
00:52:26.477 --> 00:52:28.218
Who's to say
who their allegiances are to?

1108
00:52:29.847 --> 00:52:30.985
Alex: Hey, sir,
should we follow?

1109
00:52:31.015 --> 00:52:32.153
Sir, are we going?

1110
00:52:32.182 --> 00:52:35.959
Brown: No. Hey,
we're not pushing any farther.

1111
00:52:35.986 --> 00:52:38.990
This is bait for an ambush.

1112
00:52:39.023 --> 00:52:42.004
Brown: To advance
any further through the corn

1113
00:52:42.026 --> 00:52:45.064
was just not tactically
a good idea, in my opinion.

1114
00:52:45.095 --> 00:52:48.406
So we pulled back
and didn't go any further.

1115
00:52:48.432 --> 00:52:50.878
We want to fight on our terms.
We don't want to fight

1116
00:52:50.901 --> 00:52:53.404
below our strength.

1117
00:52:57.408 --> 00:52:58.682
Harrill:
After being in Afghanistan

1118
00:52:58.709 --> 00:53:00.416
for nearly six months,

1119
00:53:00.444 --> 00:53:03.186
you could really start
to feel the bond

1120
00:53:03.213 --> 00:53:05.022
that had been created.

1121
00:53:05.049 --> 00:53:06.926
Brown:
You've already weeded out

1122
00:53:06.950 --> 00:53:08.930
all the guys that
are too scared,

1123
00:53:08.952 --> 00:53:10.022
that have made it known
that they don't want

1124
00:53:10.054 --> 00:53:11.556
any part of the fighting.

1125
00:53:11.588 --> 00:53:13.864
What's left is brothers,
and that's it.

1126
00:53:13.891 --> 00:53:16.132
Harrill: We would have
these late-night family talks

1127
00:53:16.160 --> 00:53:17.798
on the HESCOs

1128
00:53:17.828 --> 00:53:20.604
making fire pits
and kind of reflecting.

1129
00:53:20.631 --> 00:53:23.612
Sergeant Colson
found his appetite.

1130
00:53:23.634 --> 00:53:25.443
On every mission
we went in,

1131
00:53:25.469 --> 00:53:28.507
he was always managing
to find food somehow.

1132
00:53:28.539 --> 00:53:30.849
Sergeant Prince,
a K-9 officer

1133
00:53:30.874 --> 00:53:32.012
back in the States,

1134
00:53:32.042 --> 00:53:34.989
he would adopt
this puppy.

1135
00:53:35.012 --> 00:53:37.993
Well, there's Prince
with his new puppy.

1136
00:53:38.015 --> 00:53:39.688
Prince: Come here.
Come here. Come here.

1137
00:53:39.717 --> 00:53:40.923
Come here, come here.

1138
00:53:40.951 --> 00:53:43.431
There you go.
You big dummy.

1139
00:53:43.454 --> 00:53:45.195
Brown:
Prince found his K-9 unit.

1140
00:53:45.222 --> 00:53:47.259
Prince:
Screw that.

1141
00:53:47.291 --> 00:53:49.430
Harrill: But you could never
shake the feeling

1142
00:53:49.460 --> 00:53:54.205
that that one big mission
was right around the corner.

1143
00:53:56.633 --> 00:54:00.080
(call to prayer playing)

1144
00:54:00.104 --> 00:54:02.209
Raymond Viel:
Operation Brass Monkey

1145
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:03.547
was going to be
one of the largest missions

1146
00:54:03.574 --> 00:54:05.520
that we were going to do.

1147
00:54:06.677 --> 00:54:07.849
Brown: When me
and my platoon sergeants

1148
00:54:07.878 --> 00:54:09.949
seen the plan
that they had just come up with

1149
00:54:09.980 --> 00:54:11.288
and where
we were going to be,

1150
00:54:11.315 --> 00:54:13.317
we immediately felt like

1151
00:54:13.350 --> 00:54:15.091
we were in an extreme
disadvantage.

1152
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:16.996
Just in case
y'all don't see this,

1153
00:54:17.020 --> 00:54:18.192
it was good knowing
all of you.

1154
00:54:18.222 --> 00:54:19.257
Megan, I love you.

1155
00:54:19.289 --> 00:54:22.133
Jesse, I hope
you don't die too.

1156
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.197
Cameraman:
We'll be all right.

1157
00:54:25.229 --> 00:54:28.210
Brown: The first night
that we were planning

1158
00:54:28.232 --> 00:54:30.041
to get picked up
and brought out there,

1159
00:54:30.067 --> 00:54:31.603
we were told
the mission was cancelled.

1160
00:54:31.635 --> 00:54:33.637
So I passed it out
to all the guys--

1161
00:54:33.670 --> 00:54:37.243
"Hey, stand down.
We're cancelled."

1162
00:54:37.274 --> 00:54:39.584
Then the next day we hear,
"Hey, ifs back on.

1163
00:54:39.610 --> 00:54:43.114
You guys are going tonight."
Spin everybody back up.

1164
00:54:43.147 --> 00:54:45.650
"Hey, we're going tonight.
Get ready."

1165
00:54:45.682 --> 00:54:47.958
And sure enough,
it got cancelled again.

1166
00:54:47.985 --> 00:54:49.225
The battalion
commander said,

1167
00:54:49.253 --> 00:54:50.493
"It's done.
We're not going."

1168
00:54:50.521 --> 00:54:53.866
And I remember going
and laying down

1169
00:54:53.891 --> 00:54:56.167
to sleep that night,
just kind of relaxed.

1170
00:54:56.193 --> 00:54:58.799
Nothing to worry about.

1171
00:55:02.132 --> 00:55:04.942
It was either 5:30
or 6:00 in the morning.

1172
00:55:04.968 --> 00:55:08.347
Sergeant Duff
beats on the door.

1173
00:55:08.372 --> 00:55:11.182
(banging on door)

1174
00:55:11.208 --> 00:55:13.051
"The mission's back on.

1175
00:55:13.076 --> 00:55:14.714
Here's the time the birds
are gonna be here

1176
00:55:14.745 --> 00:55:15.746
to pick you up."

1177
00:55:40.871 --> 00:55:43.351
Viel: Ultimately,
the goal of the mission

1178
00:55:43.373 --> 00:55:45.353
was the clear the valley.

1179
00:55:45.375 --> 00:55:47.321
We knew there
was Taliban in the area.

1180
00:55:47.344 --> 00:55:48.948
Wanted to locate them

1181
00:55:48.979 --> 00:55:50.754
and take their arms
away from them.

1182
00:55:50.781 --> 00:55:53.057
Basically, we were going
into No Man's Land.

1183
00:55:53.083 --> 00:55:54.357
(rock music playing)

1184
00:55:54.384 --> 00:55:56.523
# We're out here
in No Man's Land I

1185
00:55:56.553 --> 00:55:59.159
# We're out there
in No Man's Land I

1186
00:55:59.189 --> 00:56:02.136
# The only way
out of No Man's Land I

1187
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:04.730
<i>5 My brothers,
my God and me I</i>

1188
00:56:04.761 --> 00:56:06.434
# I said,
the only way #

1189
00:56:06.463 --> 00:56:08.033
# Out of No Man's Land I

1190
00:56:08.065 --> 00:56:10.568
<i>5 My brothers,
my God and me I</i>

1191
00:56:10.601 --> 00:56:12.740
# Hoo-ah! #

1192
00:56:12.769 --> 00:56:15.181
Soldier: We were going
back into a place

1193
00:56:15.205 --> 00:56:17.310
that no American forces
had ever been before.

1194
00:56:21.979 --> 00:56:23.458
Soldier:
Quickly, quickly.

1195
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:27.792
Harrill:
Go, 90, 90, 90, 90-

1196
00:56:32.823 --> 00:56:35.133
Brown: Hey, spread out,
all right?

1197
00:56:35.158 --> 00:56:38.002
Stay spread,
stay spread.

1198
00:56:39.129 --> 00:56:41.131
Keep going,
keep going-

1199
00:57:00.083 --> 00:57:03.587
Prince: Well, Mom,
this is what I signed up for.

1200
00:57:03.620 --> 00:57:06.931
Brown: My bird landed
in our position

1201
00:57:06.957 --> 00:57:09.665
further to the northeast.
And my platoon sergeant,

1202
00:57:09.693 --> 00:57:11.934
his guys landed
lower in the valley.

1203
00:57:13.997 --> 00:57:18.070
Our grid is 92698.

1204
00:57:18.101 --> 00:57:20.274
The plan was,
once we hit the ground,

1205
00:57:20.304 --> 00:57:22.341
set up 360 security

1206
00:57:22.372 --> 00:57:24.682
and hold tight
till daybreak.

1207
00:57:24.708 --> 00:57:25.778
Soldier:
Hey, Johnson,

1208
00:57:25.809 --> 00:57:28.050
you're scanning
over there, right?

1209
00:57:28.078 --> 00:57:31.821
Scan from here to there.

1210
00:57:31.848 --> 00:57:34.988
Theo, you scan
from there to there.

1211
00:57:45.329 --> 00:57:48.674
(distant motor humming)

1212
00:58:05.182 --> 00:58:06.388
Brown:
As daybreak was approaching

1213
00:58:06.416 --> 00:58:07.690
and light was coming,

1214
00:58:07.718 --> 00:58:09.220
we instantly got
a worse feeling

1215
00:58:09.252 --> 00:58:10.390
because now
we could actually

1216
00:58:10.420 --> 00:58:11.922
see the type of terrain

1217
00:58:11.955 --> 00:58:13.764
we had just
been dropped in.

1218
00:58:13.790 --> 00:58:16.168
So I sent two of my guys
down to the edges

1219
00:58:16.193 --> 00:58:18.195
to find a way
down the cliff.

1220
00:58:18.228 --> 00:58:20.469
Floyd: Look how steep
that shit is.

1221
00:58:20.497 --> 00:58:23.068
Alex:
Straight down, right there.

1222
00:58:23.100 --> 00:58:24.511
Floyd:
Dude, there is no way

1223
00:58:24.534 --> 00:58:26.013
we're getting
to the bottom of that.

1224
00:58:26.036 --> 00:58:27.140
And they came back,
and they was like,

1225
00:58:27.170 --> 00:58:28.240
"Sir, there's no way."

1226
00:58:28.271 --> 00:58:30.615
You know, "There's no way
we're getting down this."

1227
00:58:31.675 --> 00:58:33.348
(plane engine roars)

1228
00:58:40.017 --> 00:58:42.463
Prince: If I understand this,
there's the Taliban,

1229
00:58:42.486 --> 00:58:45.626
the New Taliban,
and then the Real Taliban?

1230
00:58:45.655 --> 00:58:47.726
Dan Kruse: This is
the Haqqani network here.

1231
00:58:47.758 --> 00:58:50.329
You have the Haqqani network
and then you have

1232
00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:54.001
some Taliban offshoots
and just friggin' thugs.

1233
00:58:54.031 --> 00:58:55.203
- And then--
- Prince: So we're battling

1234
00:58:55.232 --> 00:58:56.370
thugs right now?

1235
00:58:56.400 --> 00:58:58.641
No, we're battling
the Haqqani network.

1236
00:58:58.668 --> 00:59:01.148
We haven't fought
the Haqqani network yet.

1237
00:59:01.171 --> 00:59:05.847
There are four JPEL targets
in this area alone.

1238
00:59:05.876 --> 00:59:10.518
JPEL means they got a hit
out on their head.

1239
00:59:10.547 --> 00:59:13.721
And in this area alone,
there are four.

1240
00:59:13.750 --> 00:59:18.062
So, yeah, keep down
and keep your eyes open too.

1241
00:59:21.224 --> 00:59:24.398
You have no idea
what's up this back way.

1242
00:59:24.428 --> 00:59:26.237
(motor rumbling)

1243
00:59:26.263 --> 00:59:28.265
Morgan Ashworth:
I remember sittin' in the valley

1244
00:59:28.298 --> 00:59:30.642
talking with somebody
and we came to the conclusion

1245
00:59:30.667 --> 00:59:32.408
that, "You know,
if we die here,

1246
00:59:32.436 --> 00:59:34.473
"the worst part of dying
for us

1247
00:59:34.504 --> 00:59:36.677
"is that the hair
on our arms

1248
00:59:36.706 --> 00:59:38.549
won't raise up
at our funeral

1249
00:59:38.575 --> 00:59:41.249
when they play
the National Anthem."

1250
00:59:42.546 --> 00:59:44.583
- Hey, John, anything?
- No.

1251
00:59:44.614 --> 00:59:47.595
No news is good news.

1252
00:59:49.186 --> 00:59:52.531
Soldier over radio:
2-1 Bravo, what's going on?

1253
00:59:52.556 --> 00:59:54.399
Prince: You see
right between those trees?

1254
00:59:54.424 --> 00:59:56.267
- Big rock on that ridge?
- Alex: Yeah.

1255
00:59:56.293 --> 00:59:58.102
Just to the right of it.

1256
00:59:58.128 --> 00:59:59.198
Alex:
Yeah, I can see it.

1257
00:59:59.229 --> 01:00:00.401
Floyd:
If we can get over to that,

1258
01:00:00.430 --> 01:00:04.173
I bet we can make it
up that side.

1259
01:00:04.201 --> 01:00:06.442
Roger, 3-6.
What I'm seeing,

1260
01:00:06.470 --> 01:00:07.744
we got vertical danger areas.

1261
01:00:07.771 --> 01:00:09.045
There's no way
we're going to be able

1262
01:00:09.072 --> 01:00:11.985
to get through this way, break.

1263
01:00:12.008 --> 01:00:14.010
Viel:
We can back up with 3-3.

1264
01:00:14.044 --> 01:00:17.048
We're going to move back
to your location, over.

1265
01:00:17.080 --> 01:00:20.061
Brown: Roger,
that's good copy. 3-6 out.

1266
01:00:21.885 --> 01:00:24.263
Brown: Then just kind
of out of nowhere,

1267
01:00:24.287 --> 01:00:26.392
this little fellow
comes up out of the riverbed.

1268
01:00:26.423 --> 01:00:27.527
Floyd:
Hey, sir, we've got a kid

1269
01:00:27.557 --> 01:00:28.661
coming up
out of the riverbed.

1270
01:00:28.692 --> 01:00:30.330
Brown: Hey, bring him
right over here.

1271
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:32.499
<i>Hey, Gunter,
go grab the Tarp.</i>

1272
01:00:32.529 --> 01:00:33.974
Floyd: Hey, Prince, go ahead
and bring that kid up here.

1273
01:00:33.997 --> 01:00:34.998
Brown: Hey, ask him
where he's from.

1274
01:00:35.031 --> 01:00:36.169
Ask him
where he came from.

1275
01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:38.543
He just so happens to be

1276
01:00:38.568 --> 01:00:40.172
from the village
we're going to.

1277
01:00:40.203 --> 01:00:42.114
Wolff:
He spoke perfect English.

1278
01:00:42.139 --> 01:00:44.449
He's like, "Just go down
this little goat trail.

1279
01:00:44.474 --> 01:00:46.681
There's a riverbed
and you can cross there."

1280
01:00:46.710 --> 01:00:48.189
You never really know
who your friends

1281
01:00:48.211 --> 01:00:49.246
and enemies are.

1282
01:00:49.279 --> 01:00:52.590
( Chuckles )
The country's entirely corrupt

1283
01:00:52.616 --> 01:00:54.118
at every level.

1284
01:00:54.151 --> 01:00:57.189
Generations of people
who know nothing but war.

1285
01:00:57.220 --> 01:01:01.498
You know?
And they're very self-serving.

1286
01:01:01.525 --> 01:01:03.129
Brown:
The boy takes my other two guys

1287
01:01:03.160 --> 01:01:06.004
back down there
and he shows them how he got up.

1288
01:01:06.029 --> 01:01:07.099
So they come back
to me like,

1289
01:01:07.130 --> 01:01:08.700
"See, sir, we can
make it down there."

1290
01:01:08.732 --> 01:01:10.803
You know, "it's gonna be
tough and dangerous,

1291
01:01:10.834 --> 01:01:11.835
but if we have to go,

1292
01:01:11.868 --> 01:01:14.872
this is the only way we're
going to be able to go."

1293
01:01:14.905 --> 01:01:17.351
Brown:
3-2, 3-2, this is 3-6.

1294
01:01:17.374 --> 01:01:19.911
Floyd: 3-6, this is 3-2.
Go ahead.

1295
01:01:19.943 --> 01:01:21.718
Brown:
Hey, be advised,

1296
01:01:21.745 --> 01:01:23.520
I need you guys
to pull security on this side.

1297
01:01:23.547 --> 01:01:24.582
Myself and 3-3
are going to make our way

1298
01:01:24.614 --> 01:01:27.857
down this side, over.

1299
01:01:51.608 --> 01:01:53.053
Floyd: Hey, Jordan,

1300
01:01:53.076 --> 01:01:54.111
keep eyes on that riverbed.

1301
01:01:54.144 --> 01:01:55.248
They're going to go ahead

1302
01:01:55.278 --> 01:01:56.279
and move through.

1303
01:02:05.188 --> 01:02:08.601
(man speaking Pashto
over radio )

1304
01:02:08.625 --> 01:02:10.662
Kruse:
What did he say?

1305
01:02:10.694 --> 01:02:13.868
(man continues in Pashto)

1306
01:02:13.897 --> 01:02:15.137
He's telling them,

1307
01:02:15.165 --> 01:02:18.442
"Get ready and wait
for my order."

1308
01:02:20.870 --> 01:02:22.440
Kruse:
Hey, Sergeant Byrne?

1309
01:02:22.472 --> 01:02:25.544
Hey, they said, "Get ready
and wait for the order."

1310
01:02:25.575 --> 01:02:28.181
Byrne:
3-6, Romeo, 3-7.

1311
01:02:28.211 --> 01:02:30.282
Can you just relay Taliban

1312
01:02:30.313 --> 01:02:32.350
and other enemy traffic?
Break.

1313
01:02:32.382 --> 01:02:34.453
Brown: They were calling
out where we were,

1314
01:02:34.484 --> 01:02:35.929
how many guys we had.

1315
01:02:35.952 --> 01:02:38.831
They pointed out that we were
in two different locations.

1316
01:02:45.996 --> 01:02:49.205
Brown:
3-2, 3-2, this is 3-6.

1317
01:02:49.232 --> 01:02:51.735
Floyd:
3-6, 3-2, go ahead.

1318
01:02:51.768 --> 01:02:53.907
Brown: Hey, be advised,
we all made it to the bottom.

1319
01:02:53.937 --> 01:02:56.008
We're going to push up
on this other side.

1320
01:02:56.039 --> 01:02:58.144
Once we get set in,
I'll have you guys

1321
01:02:58.174 --> 01:03:00.120
start moving this way.

1322
01:03:00.143 --> 01:03:01.781
Floyd:
This is 3-2. Roger.

1323
01:03:06.483 --> 01:03:08.485
Brown: Be advised,
we're picking up

1324
01:03:08.518 --> 01:03:09.963
a lot of radio traffic
from L-0-V-I.

1325
01:03:09.986 --> 01:03:11.590
Break.

1326
01:03:11.621 --> 01:03:14.124
Brown: They're calling
out locations on our movement.

1327
01:03:14.157 --> 01:03:15.966
So make sure you guys
got a head on a swivel

1328
01:03:15.992 --> 01:03:17.699
and get ready. Over.

( Man speaking
Pashto over radio )

1330

Kruse:
What did he say?

1331
01:03:23.033 --> 01:03:24.341
Interpreter:
"You can take

1332
01:03:24.367 --> 01:03:27.177
a lot of ammunition
from the house."

1333
01:03:27.203 --> 01:03:28.841
Kruse:
Hey, Sergeant Byrne?

1334
01:03:28.872 --> 01:03:31.853
They're getting ammunition
from the house right now.

Go ahead.

1338
01:03:48.558 --> 01:03:50.231
Floyd:
Roger, 3-6.

1339
01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:51.933
Just let us know
when you're set in

1340
01:03:51.961 --> 01:03:55.135
and we'll conduct movement
through the riverbed. Over.

1341

Brown:
We're set in.

1342

You guys go ahead
and move this way.

1343
01:03:58.668 --> 01:04:01.740
Floyd: Roger, this is 3-2.
We're moving. Over.

1344
01:04:01.771 --> 01:04:04.775
Brown: That's good copy.
3-6 out.

1345

Alex: Sergeant Floyd
sent me up front.

1346
01:04:07.077 --> 01:04:09.557
I took point
of our element

1347
01:04:09.579 --> 01:04:12.321
and Sergeant Prince
took up the trail.

1348
01:04:39.209 --> 01:04:41.985
Kruse:
Yep, we got a guy.

1349
01:04:42.011 --> 01:04:44.252
Where at?

1350
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:47.386
Kruse:
See the very tip top?

1351
01:04:47.417 --> 01:04:50.523
Just to the right of that,
we got a guy.

1352
01:04:50.553 --> 01:04:52.794
Mike Kennemer:
See if he has a weapon

1353
01:04:52.822 --> 01:04:54.426
and light his ass up.

1354

Kruse:
I can't tell if this guy's

1355

got a weapon or not.

1356
01:05:24.087 --> 01:05:27.125
Hey, Sergeant Byrne,
he's got a weapon.

1357
01:05:27.157 --> 01:05:29.330
It looked like an RPG.

1358
01:05:29.359 --> 01:05:30.929
Hey.

1359
01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:33.201
Your rifle...

1360
01:05:54.851 --> 01:05:58.765
Kennemer: Do you have him
good in your sights?

1361
01:05:58.788 --> 01:05:59.789
There's a slab of rock
he's hiding under.

are ready,

flying over my head

and the CamelBak
landed in front of me.

happened.

01:08:29.639 --> 01:08:31.277
Rogen

1401
01:08:33.610 --> 01:08:35.055
Soldier:
2038 to 2-8,

1402
01:08:35.078 --> 01:08:38.059
move it down the ridge,
approximately 150 meters

1403
01:08:38.081 --> 01:08:39.856
in a large group of trees.

1404
01:08:39.882 --> 01:08:41.190
Brown: Coleman,
I need you to stop his bleeding

1405
01:08:41.217 --> 01:08:42.423
- as soon as you get up there.
- I got it.

1406
01:08:42.452 --> 01:08:44.523
Let's go, boys.
Move, move.

1407
01:08:44.554 --> 01:08:46.625
Move, move, move.

1408
01:08:46.656 --> 01:08:49.500
Hey, LT, I'll show you
right where I saw 'em.

1409
01:08:49.525 --> 01:08:50.833
Brown:
Where, man?

1410
01:08:50.860 --> 01:08:52.396
That RPG

1411
01:08:52.428 --> 01:08:56.342
came from that fuckin'
big rack face, 100 meters.

1412
01:08:56.366 --> 01:08:58.346
Straight- right there.
Right there.

1413
01:08:58.368 --> 01:09:00.575
It came right on top
of that big rock.

1414
01:09:00.603 --> 01:09:02.139
Let's get some mortars
down here.

1415
01:09:02.171 --> 01:09:05.345
- Mortars.
- Anybody with mortars...

1416
01:09:05.375 --> 01:09:08.356
Smith: If you've got a
mortar in your pack, get it out!

1417
01:09:08.378 --> 01:09:09.448
Hey. Am?

1418
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:11.516
Anybody with mortars,
bring 'em down!

1419
01:09:11.547 --> 01:09:12.992
Soldier:
...176 meters.

1420
01:09:13.016 --> 01:09:15.826
Hey. Am?

1421
01:09:15.852 --> 01:09:17.889
(gun firing)

1422
01:09:17.920 --> 01:09:20.594
Soldier:
263 degrees, be advised--

1423
01:09:20.623 --> 01:09:23.502
Brown:
320s on that motherfucker!

1424
01:09:23.526 --> 01:09:25.233
320,910 up!

1425
01:09:25.261 --> 01:09:26.638
Soldier: Stay right there.
I got more rounds coming.

1426
01:09:26.663 --> 01:09:28.370
(explosion )

1427
01:09:28.398 --> 01:09:30.901
Smith: Up 10 meters.
Up 10 meters.

1428
01:09:30.933 --> 01:09:32.173
( Chattering )

1429
01:09:32.201 --> 01:09:33.839
Hey.

1430
01:09:40.977 --> 01:09:44.220
Kruse: Keep your eyes
on that road over there.

1431
01:09:44.247 --> 01:09:47.285
Sounds like they have
reinforcements on their way.

1432
01:09:47.316 --> 01:09:49.728
We're spread pretty thin
and if they come at us,

1433
01:09:49.752 --> 01:09:51.629
- they got us.
- Kennemer: Oh, I know.

1434
01:09:53.122 --> 01:09:55.466
Roger.
From that last impact,

1435
01:09:55.491 --> 01:09:56.663
move up the ridge

1436
01:09:56.693 --> 01:10:00.470
approximately 50 to 60 meters.

1437
01:10:00.496 --> 01:10:02.999
- All right, no more mortars.
- Soldier: No more mortars!

1438
01:10:03.032 --> 01:10:04.568
Cease fire!

1439
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:06.671
Smith:
Bombs inbound!

1440
01:10:06.703 --> 01:10:08.614
Soldier #2:
Bombs inbound!

1441
01:10:08.638 --> 01:10:11.141
(bomb exploding)

1442
01:10:14.577 --> 01:10:16.853
Once the engagement
went to a lull,

1443
01:10:16.879 --> 01:10:19.189
gave me the ability
to assess casualties

1444
01:10:19.215 --> 01:10:20.558
a little bit better.

1445
01:10:20.583 --> 01:10:21.721
Floyd: All right,
let's get a head count.

1446
01:10:21.751 --> 01:10:23.628
Keep going, brother.
You're almost there.

1447
01:10:23.653 --> 01:10:27.396
- Floyd: Maxon, two...
- Almost there, almost there.

1448
01:10:27.423 --> 01:10:29.630
- Tevis...
- Keep going, keep going.

1449
01:10:29.659 --> 01:10:32.333
Floyd: Let's go, guys.
Keep moving.

1450
01:10:32.361 --> 01:10:35.467
- Smith.
- Keep going, almost there.

1451
01:10:35.498 --> 01:10:40.311
- Floyd: McKean.
- Let's go, all the way up.

1452
01:10:40.336 --> 01:10:42.612
Keep going, guys.
You're almost there.

1453
01:10:42.638 --> 01:10:44.242
Almost there.

1454
01:10:45.608 --> 01:10:48.521
- Almost there, dude.
- Floyd: Torres...

1455
01:10:48.544 --> 01:10:52.253
- Almost there.
- Floyd: Sherlow...

1456
01:10:52.281 --> 01:10:55.785
- Almost there.
- Floyd: Fuck, I'm missing one.

1457
01:10:56.886 --> 01:10:59.264
Watch up there,
watch up there.

1458
01:11:02.725 --> 01:11:05.137
- You got it?
- Yeah.

1459
01:11:05.161 --> 01:11:06.504
There you go.

1460
01:11:08.197 --> 01:11:10.734
Kennemer: Hey, start scanning
that ridgeline up top.

1461
01:11:10.767 --> 01:11:12.872
We got somebody up there.

1462
01:11:14.904 --> 01:11:16.542
Christopher Gunter:
3-6!

1463
01:11:16.572 --> 01:11:18.574
Hey, what's up?
I'll relay!

1464
01:11:18.608 --> 01:11:20.713
Sergeant Prince is hit!

1465
01:11:20.743 --> 01:11:22.984
Hey, Sergeant Prince
is hit!

1466
01:11:23.012 --> 01:11:24.685
Brown:
How? Gunshot or what?

1467
01:11:24.714 --> 01:11:25.784
What?

1468
01:11:25.815 --> 01:11:27.556
(soldier shouting)

1469
01:11:28.851 --> 01:11:31.058
(explosion )

1470
01:11:32.054 --> 01:11:34.034
Brown:
How's he hurt?

1471
01:11:34.056 --> 01:11:36.058
Alex and I,
we took off

1472
01:11:36.092 --> 01:11:37.696
kind of back
that direction

1473
01:11:37.727 --> 01:11:38.831
and started looking
for Prince.

1474
01:11:38.861 --> 01:11:41.398
That's the guy
that I was missing.

1475
01:11:41.430 --> 01:11:43.307
( Radio chatter)

1476
01:11:44.767 --> 01:11:46.246
Alex:
Where's he at?

1477
01:11:48.237 --> 01:11:49.443
Fuck.

1478
01:11:52.041 --> 01:11:53.315
Floyd:
3-6, this is 3-2.

1479
01:11:53.342 --> 01:11:55.686
I need you
down here now, over.

1480
01:11:55.711 --> 01:11:59.090
Brown: I take off running
down to where Floyd's at.

1481
01:11:59.115 --> 01:12:00.958
Gunter! Start calling
a 9-line for us!

1482
01:12:00.983 --> 01:12:02.553
Right now!

1483
01:12:02.585 --> 01:12:04.155
Gunter, make it quick.

1484
01:12:04.187 --> 01:12:07.532
Gunter: 3-7, 3-7, 3-6 Romeo,
prepare to copy 9-line.

1485
01:12:07.557 --> 01:12:10.163
Brown: I come around
kind of the corner

1486
01:12:10.193 --> 01:12:14.005
and Floyd's standing right up
in the middle of the trail.

1487
01:12:14.030 --> 01:12:16.032
And I stop.

1488
01:12:18.434 --> 01:12:21.381
(exhales)

1489
01:12:28.010 --> 01:12:30.115
You know,
he's just looking at me

1490
01:12:30.146 --> 01:12:34.356
with a-- with a blank
stare on his face.

1491
01:12:34.383 --> 01:12:35.589
And he--
you know, he said,

1492
01:12:35.618 --> 01:12:41.091
"Prince is dead and he's
fallen off the side."

1493
01:12:41.123 --> 01:12:42.466
Brown:
Say again?

1494
01:12:42.491 --> 01:12:43.993
Alex: I fucking pulled him
out and his fucking...

1495
01:12:44.026 --> 01:12:46.438
- He's dead?
- Yes.

1496
01:12:46.462 --> 01:12:47.998
Brown: We're going
back to get him

1497
01:12:48.030 --> 01:12:50.169
as soon as this
bomb drops, all right?

1498
01:12:50.199 --> 01:12:52.805
Soldier: Gonna be
southwest 150 meters

1499
01:12:52.835 --> 01:12:55.281
down the ridge line,
large group of trees.

1500
01:12:55.304 --> 01:12:58.183
You were just there
right beside him?

1501
01:12:58.207 --> 01:13:01.416
Call sign Juliet Bravo.

1502
01:13:02.712 --> 01:13:04.282
Kruse:
You doing all right?

1503
01:13:05.381 --> 01:13:07.224
Just calm down.

1504
01:13:07.250 --> 01:13:09.423
Remember your training

1505
01:13:09.452 --> 01:13:11.489
and just let the rounds fly.
All right?

1506
01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:14.023
Sergeant Prince, man.

1507
01:13:14.056 --> 01:13:16.400
Kruse: You can't worry
about that now.

1508
01:13:16.425 --> 01:13:19.668
All right?

1509
01:13:22.164 --> 01:13:25.634
Right now we got to
make sure you get home.

1510
01:13:25.668 --> 01:13:27.113
Rogen

1511
01:13:28.537 --> 01:13:30.744
Three friendly wounded.

1512
01:13:30.773 --> 01:13:33.276
One friendly KIA.

1513
01:13:33.309 --> 01:13:35.380
You all right, brother?

1514
01:13:35.411 --> 01:13:38.017
Yeah. I got hit with some frag
and it took my leg out.

1515
01:13:38.047 --> 01:13:39.685
Brown: Hey, guys,
we gotta remember,

1516
01:13:39.715 --> 01:13:41.626
we gotta spread out,
all right?

1517
01:13:41.651 --> 01:13:44.097
Brown: We took a few minutes.
I got a team together.

1518
01:13:44.120 --> 01:13:47.294
And I said,
"All right,

1519
01:13:47.323 --> 01:13:49.098
"as soon as this bomb
hits 'em,

1520
01:13:49.125 --> 01:13:52.766
"we're going to--
a group of us

1521
01:13:52.795 --> 01:13:54.934
are gonna go down
and-- and get Prince."

1522
01:13:54.964 --> 01:13:57.240
03-- 28--
cleared hot.

1523
01:13:57.266 --> 01:13:58.973
Brown: After the birds
drop this bomb,

1524
01:13:59.001 --> 01:14:00.878
me, Carlson and Alex

1525
01:14:00.903 --> 01:14:02.644
are going to go down
and get Prince, okay?

1526
01:14:02.672 --> 01:14:04.049
Roger that.
We're watching.

1527
01:14:04.073 --> 01:14:05.450
Brown: You guys
continue to drop mortars

1528
01:14:05.474 --> 01:14:06.919
the entire time
we're down there.

1529
01:14:06.943 --> 01:14:08.547
Roger that.

1530
01:14:08.577 --> 01:14:09.647
Gunter:
I'm going with you.

1531
01:14:09.679 --> 01:14:11.488
I'm leaving my kit right here.

1532
01:14:11.514 --> 01:14:13.585
Hey, get this off.

1533
01:14:13.616 --> 01:14:15.254
Get this off.

1534
01:14:15.284 --> 01:14:17.594
Suck it up, all right?
Suck it up, all right?

1535
01:14:17.620 --> 01:14:19.327
Soldier:
Copy that.

1536
01:14:19.355 --> 01:14:21.835
Sir, One Mike you'll be in,
this may be danger close.

1537
01:14:21.857 --> 01:14:24.235
Brown: Hey, One Mike,
we've got a bomb inbound.

1538
01:14:24.260 --> 01:14:26.501
3-3, I need you to continue
with that 9-line.

1539
01:14:26.529 --> 01:14:28.440
I need it ASAP.
You need to tell the birds

1540
01:14:28.464 --> 01:14:30.137
they need to be escorted
out of here.

1541
01:14:30.166 --> 01:14:31.167
Soldier over radio:
We've got enemy

1542
01:14:31.200 --> 01:14:32.736
within 200 meters
of our location.

1543
01:14:32.768 --> 01:14:34.907
Roger, line one.

1544
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:40.582
Whiskey Delta niner-one,

1545
01:14:40.609 --> 01:14:44.853
44-niner-52884.

1546
01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:46.518
Break.

1547
01:14:46.549 --> 01:14:48.256
Soldier over radio:
Line two,

1548
01:14:48.284 --> 01:14:52.164
036 Romeo
47-15.

1549
01:14:52.188 --> 01:14:54.225
Line eight, you in.

1550
01:14:54.256 --> 01:14:55.564
Coming through.

1551
01:15:02.431 --> 01:15:05.037
Hey, man, hey, hey.
Stay with it, stay with it.

1552
01:15:05.067 --> 01:15:06.068
What you gotta do?

1553
01:15:06.102 --> 01:15:07.137
What's the next thing
you gotta do?

1554
01:15:07.169 --> 01:15:08.170
- I gotta--
- What's the next thing

- Make sure--
- Hey, don't flag your weapon.

1562

Okay? Who do you
got to make sure is okay?

with it after it happened.

1714
01:26:37.893 --> 01:26:44.367
# I need
your helping hand #

1715
01:26:48.870 --> 01:26:51.851
# Lord #

1716
01:26:51.873 --> 01:26:55.320
# My Lord #

1717
01:26:57.279 --> 01:27:00.783
# I need your #

1718
01:27:00.816 --> 01:27:04.229
# Helping hand #

1719
01:27:04.252 --> 01:27:06.425
<i># Yeah #</i>

1720
01:28:28.136 --> 01:28:30.377
Brown:
...your village.

1721
01:28:30.405 --> 01:28:33.215
(villager speaking
in Pashto )

1722
01:28:33.241 --> 01:28:37.018
When's the last time
you seen any of them come by?

1723
01:28:37.045 --> 01:28:39.491
- ( Speaking Pashto )
- In your village?

1724
01:29:33.335 --> 01:29:34.473
Floyd:
We were all smoked,

1725
01:29:34.502 --> 01:29:36.277
mentally, physically,
emotionally.

1726
01:29:36.304 --> 01:29:40.775
But I think
what defined us,

1727
01:29:40.809 --> 01:29:43.153
having lost
those two guys,

1728
01:29:43.178 --> 01:29:45.385
we still were able
to maintain that certain level

1729
01:29:45.413 --> 01:29:46.653
of professionalism.

1730
01:29:46.681 --> 01:29:48.661
You know,
"We're going to finish this.

1731
01:29:48.683 --> 01:29:50.856
This is not going
to be in vain."

1732
01:29:50.886 --> 01:29:52.797
You know,
that just kind of solidifies

1733
01:29:52.821 --> 01:29:53.925
the bond, man,

1734
01:29:53.955 --> 01:29:55.866
you know,
the brotherhood.

1735
01:29:55.891 --> 01:29:59.429
I'd be lying if I said
I didn't miss it.

1736
01:29:59.461 --> 01:30:02.772
You know, it was a shitty
place to have to live

1737
01:30:02.797 --> 01:30:05.676
for, you know, a year.
But it was our place.

1738
01:30:05.700 --> 01:30:07.338
You know, we owned it.

1739
01:30:07.369 --> 01:30:09.849
And I'd be lying as well
if I said

1740
01:30:09.871 --> 01:30:11.509
that I didn't miss it.

1741
01:30:11.539 --> 01:30:14.452
For as sucky as it was,
it was our suck.

1742
01:30:14.476 --> 01:30:17.457
And you woke up every day
knowing what your suck was.

1743
01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:19.584
You know?
And more importantly,

1744
01:30:19.614 --> 01:30:21.787
who was going to go through
your suck with you.

1745
01:30:21.816 --> 01:30:23.818
There was a saying,
"There's no stronger bond

1746
01:30:23.852 --> 01:30:25.729
than shared pain."

1747
01:30:25.754 --> 01:30:27.631
Floyd:
Boy, that's sure true.

1748
01:30:27.656 --> 01:30:30.466
- Couldn't be any more true.
- Yeah.

1749
01:30:40.535 --> 01:30:42.811
- I'll see you, man.
- See ya.

1750
01:30:44.072 --> 01:30:45.551
- Be good, man.
- Sir.

1751
01:30:45.573 --> 01:30:47.644
I'll see you.
Always good seeing you.

1752
01:30:47.676 --> 01:30:49.713
- You too.
- All right, take care, guys.

1753
01:30:49.744 --> 01:30:51.587
See you, man.

1754
01:30:55.717 --> 01:30:57.196
( Chattering )

1755
01:31:12.467 --> 01:31:14.538
Get in a little tighter.

1756
01:31:14.569 --> 01:31:16.845
There's no way for me
to express how important it is

1757
01:31:16.871 --> 01:31:17.941
that I get
to look you in the eye

1758
01:31:17.973 --> 01:31:19.008
and talk to you today.

1759
01:31:19.040 --> 01:31:21.680
So what I want
to tell you

1760
01:31:21.710 --> 01:31:24.748
is that term "citizen soldier"
and what it means.

1761
01:31:52.807 --> 01:31:55.549
What did you see yourself
doing in the service?

1762
01:32:37.852 --> 01:32:40.423
Now think about 1775,

1763
01:32:40.455 --> 01:32:42.696
when Boston
is under siege

1764
01:32:42.724 --> 01:32:44.067
and the Redcoats
are coming.

1765
01:32:44.092 --> 01:32:46.003
And Paul Revere
gets on his horse

1766
01:32:46.027 --> 01:32:47.506
and rides through
the countryside

1767
01:32:47.529 --> 01:32:49.509
saying, "The British are coming,
the British are coming."

1768
01:32:49.531 --> 01:32:51.408
All right?

1769
01:32:51.433 --> 01:32:54.437
And blacksmiths and innkeepers
drop their hammer,

1770
01:32:54.469 --> 01:32:57.780
drop their plates and towels
and bedding,

1771
01:32:57.806 --> 01:33:00.480
drop what they're doing
and move to the green

1772
01:33:00.508 --> 01:33:02.818
at Lexington and Concord
to meet an enemy

1773
01:33:02.844 --> 01:33:04.687
that was threatening
their communities.

1774
01:33:04.712 --> 01:33:08.057
We've been doing
this stuff since 1636.

1775
01:33:08.083 --> 01:33:09.426
All right?

1776
01:33:09.451 --> 01:33:12.557
The citizen soldier
has been alive since 1636,

1777
01:33:12.587 --> 01:33:14.794
over 370 years.

1778
01:34:27.762 --> 01:34:31.107
So I tell you this whole story
because I need you.

1779
01:34:31.132 --> 01:34:33.510
Your state needs you
and your community needs you.

1780
01:34:33.535 --> 01:34:35.515
All right?
We need you to choose

1781
01:34:35.537 --> 01:34:37.915
to keep the title
"citizen soldier."

1782
01:34:37.939 --> 01:34:40.920
There is something noble,

1783
01:34:40.942 --> 01:34:42.216
something honorable,

1784
01:34:42.243 --> 01:34:44.519
something romantic
about that term.

1785
01:34:44.546 --> 01:34:48.119
And I just hope
that you guys take that term,

1786
01:34:48.149 --> 01:34:50.891
"citizen soldier,"
with you till the day you die.

1787
01:35:27.689 --> 01:35:30.636
# Hey #

1788
01:35:30.658 --> 01:35:32.934
# Brother #

1789
01:35:32.961 --> 01:35:35.703
# You gotta stand #

1790
01:35:35.730 --> 01:35:38.506
# Upright #

1791
01:35:38.533 --> 01:35:41.742
# Right #

1792
01:35:41.769 --> 01:35:44.375
# You came with #

1793
01:35:44.405 --> 01:35:45.975
# To come #

1794
01:35:46.007 --> 01:35:50.285
# To come alive #

1795
01:36:01.356 --> 01:36:05.930
# Wouldn't you think
that they forgot? #

1796
01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:11.103
# I'm just trying
to get some sleep #

1797
01:36:12.900 --> 01:36:16.006
# The long
and restless nights #

1798
01:36:16.037 --> 01:36:17.880
# Through darkness #

1799
01:36:17.905 --> 01:36:22.183
# It's the torch
you have to keep #

1800
01:36:25.146 --> 01:36:29.617
# The fire burns
within me #

1801
01:36:29.651 --> 01:36:32.257
# A' I'm out, I'm done #

1802
01:36:32.287 --> 01:36:35.200
# Who'll light the torch
when I'm gone #

1803
01:36:36.624 --> 01:36:40.595
# It's all yours
to carry #

1804
01:36:40.628 --> 01:36:43.336
# A' I'm out, I'm done #

1805
01:36:43.364 --> 01:36:46.709
# Who'll light the torch
when I'm gone #

1806
01:36:46.734 --> 01:36:51.479
# Who will even
shed a tear I

1807
01:36:51.506 --> 01:36:56.012
# If I could never come? #

1808
01:36:57.845 --> 01:37:00.325
# The ghost of me #

1809
01:37:00.348 --> 01:37:02.658
# Of yesteryear #

1810
01:37:02.684 --> 01:37:07.599
# illuminates you on #

1811
01:37:10.425 --> 01:37:14.737
# The fire burns within me #

1812
01:37:14.762 --> 01:37:17.265
# A' I'm out, I'm done #

1813
01:37:17.298 --> 01:37:21.508
# Who'll light the torch
when I'm gone? #

1814
01:37:21.536 --> 01:37:25.678
# It's all yours to carry #

1815
01:37:25.707 --> 01:37:28.813
# A' I'm out, I'm done #

1816
01:37:28.843 --> 01:37:31.949
# Who'll light the torch
when I'm gone? #

1817
01:37:43.124 --> 01:37:46.230
# Hey #

1818
01:37:46.260 --> 01:37:48.035
# Brother #

1819
01:37:48.062 --> 01:37:51.134
# You gotta stand #

1820
01:37:51.165 --> 01:37:54.408
# Upright #

1821
01:37:54.435 --> 01:37:57.006
# Right #

1822
01:37:57.038 --> 01:38:00.019
# You came with #

1823
01:38:00.041 --> 01:38:02.681
# To come #

1824
01:38:02.710 --> 01:38:05.281
# Alive #

1825
01:38:05.313 --> 01:38:07.224
# Yeah #

1826
01:38:09.951 --> 01:38:12.591
(shouting, laughing)

1827
01:38:23.631 --> 01:38:25.770
(all laughing)

1828
01:38:37.645 --> 01:38:39.921
Soldier:
Okay.

1829
01:38:39.947 --> 01:38:41.051
Come on!

1830
01:38:41.082 --> 01:38:43.221
Hey, hey, he?

1831
01:38:43.251 --> 01:38:45.527
Hey, what's up?
This is Roche,

1832
01:38:45.553 --> 01:38:48.500
on this episode
of MTV Cribs.

1833
01:38:48.523 --> 01:38:52.403
As you can see,
we're remodeling right now.

1834
01:38:52.427 --> 01:38:54.839
We ain't got much--

1835
01:38:54.862 --> 01:38:57.934
got a bunch of grenades.
Got my gun.

1836
01:38:57.965 --> 01:39:01.310
Got a machine gun
with fuckin' thermals.

1837
01:39:01.335 --> 01:39:05.283
Uh, got a nice big
rock wall.

1838
01:39:05.306 --> 01:39:07.912
There's a hot tub
down there.

1839
01:39:07.942 --> 01:39:11.480
There's a pool down there
with a creak thing.

1840
01:39:11.512 --> 01:39:14.789
Cameraman: Oh, shit,
we're recording. Do a dance.

1841
01:39:14.816 --> 01:39:17.660
Oh, shit.
Hey, work it!

1842
01:39:17.685 --> 01:39:19.028
Go ahead.

1843
01:39:19.053 --> 01:39:20.794
He's a pissed off
guitar player.

1844
01:39:20.822 --> 01:39:23.996
(strings clatter)

1845
01:39:24.025 --> 01:39:26.198
It sounds like shit!

1846
01:39:26.227 --> 01:39:29.231
(all laughing)

1847
01:40:17.545 --> 01:40:20.651
# I tend to the dark #

1848
01:40:20.681 --> 01:40:22.820
# Lying cloaked #

1849
01:40:22.850 --> 01:40:27.595
# With insight #

1850
01:40:27.622 --> 01:40:30.933
# To defend this heart #

1851
01:40:30.958 --> 01:40:35.771
# We must cut like knives #

1852
01:40:37.965 --> 01:40:41.674
# So wait for me #

1853
01:40:43.237 --> 01:40:47.117
# On wounded knee #

1854
01:40:48.309 --> 01:40:51.347
# Cut from thee #

1855
01:40:51.379 --> 01:40:56.920
# Oh, so faithfully #

1856
01:40:58.619 --> 01:41:01.998
# And when the light
goes out #

1857
01:41:02.023 --> 01:41:04.469
# It's the torch,
it's the torch #

1858
01:41:04.492 --> 01:41:07.939
# It's the torch
that shines on #

1859
01:41:07.962 --> 01:41:11.910
# And when the light
goes out #

1860
01:41:11.933 --> 01:41:14.914
# It's the torch,
it's the torch #

1861
01:41:14.936 --> 01:41:18.440
# It's the torch
that shines on #

1862
01:41:29.350 --> 01:41:32.923
# Why should I lie #

1863
01:41:32.954 --> 01:41:37.562
# When it's cold
by my side? #

1864
01:41:40.261 --> 01:41:43.299
# And how can I live #

1865
01:41:43.331 --> 01:41:47.336
# When you're supposed
to die? #

1866
01:41:47.368 --> 01:41:50.212
# You keep saying
wait for me #

1867
01:41:50.237 --> 01:41:53.218
# Wait for me,
wait for me #

1868
01:41:53.240 --> 01:41:55.242
# Wait for me #

1869
01:41:55.276 --> 01:41:58.587
# Is it ever my turn? #

1870
