1
00:00:42,059 --> 00:00:43,754
All right, this is what's going on.

2
00:00:43,755 --> 00:00:46,346
Me, O'Bizzle..O'Bizzle.

3
00:00:46,347 --> 00:00:47,390
I got it, I got it,
man I'm the narrator.

4
00:00:47,403 --> 00:00:48,457
O'Bizzle fo' shizzle.

5
00:00:48,458 --> 00:00:51,273
Me, Peebs, and Kim.

6
00:00:51,274 --> 00:00:53,578
Kim, you got something to say?

7
00:00:53,579 --> 00:00:55,529
- Yeah, you got something to say.
- Kim?

8
00:00:56,843 --> 00:01:00,617
You all know tonight
is going to going to be crazy.

9
00:01:00,618 --> 00:01:02,409
Stupid crazy.

10
00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:04,522
What's your sole mission, O'Byrne?

11
00:01:04,523 --> 00:01:06,954
Man, to keep you out of hand.

12
00:01:06,955 --> 00:01:10,570
You can't..you can't tame the beast.

13
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:12,842
Peebs, tell them. How do we roll?

14
00:01:12,843 --> 00:01:15,850
Got 'em. Got 'em.

15
00:01:15,851 --> 00:01:18,442
Tune in next time
where we're going to be still loving life

16
00:01:18,443 --> 00:01:21,289
and getting ready to go to war.

17
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:23,210
- What?
- All right, baby.

18
00:01:23,211 --> 00:01:25,514
- War, Afghanistan, what?
- Say it again, baby, say it again.

19
00:01:25,515 --> 00:01:27,434
- I didn't even sign my passport.
- Baby.

20
00:01:27,435 --> 00:01:29,898
- I didn't even sign my passport.
- We're going to war. We're going to war.

21
00:01:29,899 --> 00:01:31,818
We're going to war. We're going to war.

22
00:01:34,986 --> 00:01:36,906
Roger.

23
00:02:28,716 --> 00:02:30,602
Oh, we're fucking hit.

24
00:02:30,603 --> 00:02:32,714
- This is an IED, over.
- IED.

25
00:02:32,715 --> 00:02:35,018
- Keep going, keep going! Keep..
- What was that?

26
00:02:35,019 --> 00:02:36,938
- Shots.
- Eight o'clock.

27
00:02:36,939 --> 00:02:39,370
- Get on that gun!
- What are we doing?

28
00:02:39,371 --> 00:02:42,250
Aim for that draw! Right now!

29
00:02:42,251 --> 00:02:43,657
That way.

30
00:02:46,251 --> 00:02:48,778
We gotta get out. We
gotta get out of here.

31
00:02:48,779 --> 00:02:50,378
We're getting out!

32
00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:52,298
Fucking motherfucker.

33
00:02:52,299 --> 00:02:55,818
Shot, eight o'clock. 300 meters.

34
00:02:55,819 --> 00:02:59,498
Shot, eight o'clock. 102 meters.

35
00:03:26,794 --> 00:03:28,714
You know what?

36
00:03:28,715 --> 00:03:31,207
When they told me
I was going to the Korengal Valley,

37
00:03:31,242 --> 00:03:34,346
I really didn't, uh, I didn't read
anything up on it. I didn't want to.

38
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,298
I wanted to go in there with an open mind.

39
00:03:36,299 --> 00:03:40,075
The Colonel told me initially
they take fire every single day.

40
00:03:40,076 --> 00:03:42,762
I was like, God, how the hell do you take
fire every single day from somebody?

41
00:03:42,763 --> 00:03:44,490
You got to go out there and go kill
the damn enemy.

42
00:03:44,491 --> 00:03:45,898
Quit being, you know, scared.

43
00:03:45,899 --> 00:03:47,722
Go out there and get 'em.

44
00:03:47,723 --> 00:03:50,410
And the Colonel and I
came up with, you know,

45
00:03:50,411 --> 00:03:53,002
what we thought was going to be
our campaign plan and that, uh,

46
00:03:53,003 --> 00:03:55,119
after two months of
being there I would fix

47
00:03:55,132 --> 00:03:57,258
it and that we wouldn't
get shot at anymore.

48
00:04:59,436 --> 00:05:02,379
The very first day, I remember coming in,

49
00:05:02,380 --> 00:05:04,586
and one of the pilots and stuff,
and they said, hey,

50
00:05:04,587 --> 00:05:07,371
if you look over there to your left,
uh, that's Pakistan.

51
00:05:07,372 --> 00:05:10,699
You know, and we're like, you know,
we all, okay, that's Pakistan.

52
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,922
And then they're all mountains,
you know, high elevation.

53
00:05:14,923 --> 00:05:18,635
And as you go in elevation,
it starts to get a little bit colder.

54
00:05:20,747 --> 00:05:22,794
And then we go up into
the Korengal Valley.

55
00:05:28,971 --> 00:05:31,023
I remember looking out
the little bubble

56
00:05:31,036 --> 00:05:33,099
windows on the side,
kind of just like this,

57
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,178
because I was right next to the window.

58
00:05:35,179 --> 00:05:40,682
And I could see when the Chinook had
made a hard right turn into the valley.

59
00:05:40,683 --> 00:05:43,307
I was like, holy shit.

60
00:05:43,308 --> 00:05:44,970
We're not ready for this.

61
00:05:44,971 --> 00:05:48,906
We flew around for about half-hour,
45 minutes above the KOP,

62
00:05:48,907 --> 00:05:51,530
and you're just looking down there,

63
00:05:51,531 --> 00:05:54,731
and you're like, this is in the
middle of nowhere right now.

64
00:05:54,732 --> 00:05:56,843
You're away from everything.

65
00:05:56,844 --> 00:06:00,047
Honestly, when I first
got to the Korengal,

66
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:03,274
I was like, this is a shit hole.

67
00:06:03,275 --> 00:06:05,898
My mindset was like, oh snap,
I'm going to die here.

68
00:06:08,876 --> 00:06:13,098
I remember getting off the bird
and walking up the hill to the hooch.

69
00:06:13,099 --> 00:06:16,458
Hey, Jones, you guys standing up
right there, you're wrong.

70
00:06:16,459 --> 00:06:17,674
Come on, guys, better get moving.

71
00:06:18,764 --> 00:06:22,826
And just sucking..

72
00:06:22,827 --> 00:06:25,098
and thinking what are we doing?

73
00:06:28,524 --> 00:06:33,707
It started getting dark,
and monkeys were howling,

74
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:35,722
And I thought they were Taliban.

75
00:06:35,723 --> 00:06:39,883
And I thought, holy shit they're close.

76
00:06:39,884 --> 00:06:41,739
Everybody's like,
oh, you're going to the Korengal?

77
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:43,594
And they feel sorry for you
and everything like that.

78
00:06:43,595 --> 00:06:46,075
I'm like, dude,
it can't be that bad, you know?

79
00:06:46,110 --> 00:06:48,555
I show up there
and you're burning your own feces.

80
00:06:48,556 --> 00:06:51,243
You know, you're living in a tent.

81
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:53,424
I literally lived in a
bunker, you know, about

82
00:06:53,437 --> 00:06:55,627
that high, I couldn't
even stand up in.

83
00:06:55,628 --> 00:06:58,506
See bullet holes all rattled into the
Hescos and when you look up, it's like,

84
00:06:58,507 --> 00:07:00,426
I don't even know why I have Hescos here

85
00:07:00,427 --> 00:07:02,255
because they're not going
to stop the bullets

86
00:07:02,268 --> 00:07:04,106
that are coming down
from the mountains.

87
00:07:04,107 --> 00:07:09,675
So I felt like I was..
I was like fish in a barrel.

88
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:23,370
They're gathering intel right now,
basically, on how to deal with us,

89
00:07:23,371 --> 00:07:27,787
because they haven't..
there's no really research or intel

90
00:07:27,788 --> 00:07:30,315
on how to treat us right now,

91
00:07:30,316 --> 00:07:32,848
because they haven't had
to deal with people

92
00:07:32,861 --> 00:07:35,403
like us since World
War II and Vietnam,

93
00:07:35,404 --> 00:07:38,218
you know, dealing with guys that are
coming back from 15-month deployments

94
00:07:38,219 --> 00:07:41,227
with as much fighting,
you know, as we went through.

95
00:08:02,379 --> 00:08:05,802
Hey, go on that ridgeline, fucking now!

96
00:08:24,811 --> 00:08:26,731
Hey, roger, I'm up here by OP four.

97
00:08:26,732 --> 00:08:29,899
We're scanning and if we have to,
we'll move into contact.

98
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,139
I got myself, Riegel,
and Thomas over here.

99
00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:34,506
Roger, over.

100
00:08:34,507 --> 00:08:36,939
Hey, I'm about to find this bastard,
and I'm going to kill him, over.

101
00:08:36,940 --> 00:08:39,627
Okay, roger.
So it's coming from 1705 and 00.

102
00:08:39,628 --> 00:08:44,043
We should be firing on those here
right now, break.

103
00:08:44,044 --> 00:08:45,643
Hang it!

104
00:08:45,644 --> 00:08:47,851
Fire! Firing!

105
00:09:06,763 --> 00:09:10,859
The Korengal Outpost is at the 6-3
gridline, and then the 6-2 gridline..

106
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:15,723
the insurgency has, like, drawn
this imaginary line in the sand there,

107
00:09:15,724 --> 00:09:17,643
and every time the guys
come out of Firebase Phoenix

108
00:09:17,644 --> 00:09:19,563
and they cross the 6-2 gridline,

109
00:09:19,564 --> 00:09:21,632
I mean, like, no shit,
every time they cross

110
00:09:21,645 --> 00:09:23,723
the 6-2 gridline,
they get in contact.

111
00:09:23,724 --> 00:09:28,651
So I want to extend the security bubble,
because wherever I can place troops

112
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:30,571
and wherever I can provide security

113
00:09:30,572 --> 00:09:33,323
is where I'm going to be able to
have an influence on the populace.

114
00:09:33,324 --> 00:09:35,584
The hard part is, is
that they're so deeply

115
00:09:35,597 --> 00:09:37,867
rooted down here
because of family ties

116
00:09:37,868 --> 00:09:40,496
and because of religious
ideals, that getting

117
00:09:40,509 --> 00:09:43,147
these people to push
out the insurgency

118
00:09:43,148 --> 00:09:46,540
and basically push out their family
members is going to be the hard part.

119
00:09:46,541 --> 00:09:50,794
Right now the road ends
at the Korengal Outpost,

120
00:09:50,795 --> 00:09:53,994
and where the road ends
is where the Taliban begins.

121
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:02,667
We've been getting reports that they've
been watching us throughout the day,

122
00:10:02,702 --> 00:10:07,627
so the contact right now
I'd say is likely or imminent.

123
00:10:17,836 --> 00:10:20,555
- Good to see you.
- Move southeast. It's this way.

124
00:10:20,590 --> 00:10:22,794
Do you want chai?

125
00:10:22,795 --> 00:10:24,715
We don't have time to sit down
and have chai tonight.

126
00:10:24,716 --> 00:10:26,955
I just wanted to come in and talk to you
briefly about the project.

127
00:10:26,956 --> 00:10:30,091
How many people are you actually
going to use to build the project?

128
00:10:31,852 --> 00:10:33,451
What's up?

129
00:10:33,452 --> 00:10:35,371
You see that last house,
to the right of it?

130
00:10:35,372 --> 00:10:38,443
Brownish fucking bush
about fucking 15, 20 meters to the right?

131
00:10:38,478 --> 00:10:39,531
Yeah?

132
00:10:39,532 --> 00:10:42,315
Someone turned around that corner,
saw us and went right back around, dude.

133
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:57,132
We're going to be moving in darkness.
You're going to be lead, so..

134
00:10:57,133 --> 00:10:58,987
We could move now if you need to.

135
00:11:15,116 --> 00:11:17,035
Okay, spread out.

136
00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:35,563
I'm pushing up here.

137
00:11:35,564 --> 00:11:38,123
Whoa, a tracer came right by here!

138
00:11:43,692 --> 00:11:45,291
Hey!

139
00:11:45,292 --> 00:11:47,404
There's fire coming. They're shooting.

140
00:11:47,405 --> 00:11:49,131
Over there!

141
00:11:49,132 --> 00:11:51,371
Where? Over where?
Tell me, sir, tell me.

142
00:11:51,372 --> 00:11:53,226
Kim!

143
00:12:00,716 --> 00:12:03,468
The first friend I lost was Vimoto,

144
00:12:03,469 --> 00:12:06,444
and that was right at the beginning
of the deployment. That hit hard.

145
00:12:06,445 --> 00:12:11,084
And then a month after
that, I lost Restrepo.

146
00:12:11,085 --> 00:12:14,443
The day that Restrepo got killed,

147
00:12:14,444 --> 00:12:17,227
it came across the net
that we had troops in contact.

148
00:12:17,228 --> 00:12:20,140
Then they called back in
and said that we have a casualty.

149
00:12:20,141 --> 00:12:22,827
I need you to give me fire, Cortez.

150
00:12:22,828 --> 00:12:28,395
We didn't know who it was, because nobody
was saying anything over the radio.

151
00:12:28,396 --> 00:12:29,579
When you hear someone's hit,

152
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:31,691
your first reaction
is just like, fuck, like, no.

153
00:12:31,692 --> 00:12:36,427
And then you start going through your head
all the people that you know out there

154
00:12:36,428 --> 00:12:39,692
and wanting to eliminate your friends
and the people that were closest to you..

155
00:12:39,693 --> 00:12:43,212
you know, not this guy.
Not this guy. Not this guy.

156
00:12:45,196 --> 00:12:47,116
You know, your heart just sank.

157
00:12:47,117 --> 00:12:48,971
You were like, fuck.

158
00:12:48,972 --> 00:12:51,531
I mean, it was Doc Restrepo.

159
00:12:53,997 --> 00:12:56,779
He was shot in the neck twice..

160
00:12:58,828 --> 00:13:02,827
but he was stable,
so that was a relief for us.

161
00:13:02,828 --> 00:13:05,196
We say, okay, he's going to be okay,
because we looked at him.

162
00:13:05,197 --> 00:13:08,011
When he gets on the aircraft,
he's still breathing.

163
00:13:08,012 --> 00:13:12,204
But he, it hit his, um,
artery in his neck,

164
00:13:12,239 --> 00:13:14,123
and he bled out.

165
00:13:14,124 --> 00:13:18,732
He bled out on the helicopter ride
to the emergency room

166
00:13:18,767 --> 00:13:21,355
where they take you when you get shot.

167
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,723
- This is the big danger area right now.
- Okay.

168
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:31,115
Because if we're here
and they start opening up on us..

169
00:13:31,116 --> 00:13:32,075
You're in between.

170
00:13:32,076 --> 00:13:36,940
But if we clear down, you guys could
use my weapons squad as an indicator

171
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,243
for where they are,
and that's your right limit of fire, man.

172
00:13:39,244 --> 00:13:41,292
Shoot anything up the mountain.

173
00:13:41,293 --> 00:13:45,867
I would say since we haven't been down
here and we don't know what's in here,

174
00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:48,812
I'm going to fucking assume the worst,
because it's near Kalaygal,

175
00:13:48,813 --> 00:13:51,340
and that they have fortified fighting
positions throughout here.

176
00:13:51,341 --> 00:13:53,225
Okay.

177
00:13:53,260 --> 00:13:56,843
What were we doing in the Korengal?

178
00:13:56,844 --> 00:13:59,564
Our purpose in the Korengal..
they had a road,

179
00:13:59,565 --> 00:14:04,555
and the intent was this road to go through
the Korengal and go out to Chowkay Valley

180
00:14:04,556 --> 00:14:07,723
to be able to connect the locals

181
00:14:07,724 --> 00:14:11,339
where they can have an easy route
up towards the Pech River Valley.

182
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:16,459
And our job there was to try
to sustain the security for the personnel,

183
00:14:16,460 --> 00:14:18,795
to allow them to build that road.

184
00:14:18,796 --> 00:14:22,027
You know, five, ten years from now,

185
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:25,611
the Korengal Valley is going to have
a road going through it that's paved.

186
00:14:25,612 --> 00:14:27,852
And we can make more money,
make you guys richer,

187
00:14:27,853 --> 00:14:30,892
make you guys more powerful.
What I need though,

188
00:14:30,893 --> 00:14:35,084
is I need you to join with the government,
you know, provide us with that security

189
00:14:35,085 --> 00:14:37,708
or help us provide you guys
with that security.

190
00:14:37,709 --> 00:14:40,748
And I'll flood this whole place
with money and with projects

191
00:14:40,749 --> 00:14:42,892
and with healthcare and with everything.

192
00:14:58,060 --> 00:15:00,972
Remember last week when we said that
everything that happened in the past

193
00:15:00,973 --> 00:15:03,724
when Captain McKnight was here..we're
kind of, like, wiping the slate clean.

194
00:15:03,725 --> 00:15:05,868
Captain Kearney's got a new slate.

195
00:15:11,021 --> 00:15:15,308
Let's put it behind, and let's get on
with what we've got to do now.

196
00:15:20,748 --> 00:15:25,452
Growing up in Oregon, I wasn't allowed
to have sugar 'til I was, like, 13,

197
00:15:25,453 --> 00:15:29,548
because my mom was a fucking hippie.

198
00:15:29,549 --> 00:15:33,931
And she's always have us doing, like,
little hippie children things, I guess..

199
00:15:33,932 --> 00:15:41,163
making, like, homemade paper or painting
something or going, like, on nature walks.

200
00:15:41,164 --> 00:15:43,948
It was a nice childhood.
I just wasn't allowed to have toy guns

201
00:15:43,949 --> 00:15:46,828
or anything like that,
like boys should have, I guess..

202
00:15:46,829 --> 00:15:51,788
little toy guns or, like, violent video
games or watch any violent movies at all.

203
00:15:51,789 --> 00:15:56,652
Like I had a toy squirt gun that was
a turtle, and my parents took it away

204
00:15:56,653 --> 00:15:58,573
because it said "squirt gun"..
it had "gun" on there.

205
00:15:58,608 --> 00:16:00,428
Fire!

206
00:16:18,413 --> 00:16:21,675
Right now priority..

207
00:16:28,396 --> 00:16:32,587
For the first few months
of the deployment..

208
00:16:32,588 --> 00:16:35,404
we'd get rocked hard.
They'd hit us from..

209
00:16:35,405 --> 00:16:40,011
They'd ambush us at 360 degrees.

210
00:16:40,012 --> 00:16:41,932
I remember thinking, you know, holy shit,

211
00:16:41,933 --> 00:16:45,196
did everybody from the entire country
come to this valley?

212
00:16:45,197 --> 00:16:48,940
Is nobody else fighting anymore?
Is every bad guy in my face?

213
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:52,460
Oh, shit!

214
00:16:52,461 --> 00:16:53,899
Motherfuckers.

215
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,076
In the entire country of Afghanistan,

216
00:16:56,077 --> 00:17:01,035
we dropped something close
to 70 percent of all the ordinance.

217
00:17:01,036 --> 00:17:05,260
All the bombs that were dropped
at that particular time

218
00:17:05,261 --> 00:17:07,146
were dropped in the Korengal Valley.

219
00:17:07,181 --> 00:17:09,580
As CNN dubbed it one day
when Bush saw it

220
00:17:09,581 --> 00:17:11,884
and said, you know,
the ugliest place on Earth..

221
00:17:11,885 --> 00:17:13,804
the Korengal Valley.

222
00:17:13,805 --> 00:17:18,956
But to my family,
I never really told them much

223
00:17:18,957 --> 00:17:21,548
until about halfway into the deployment.

224
00:17:22,924 --> 00:17:24,876
I didn't tell them when Vimoto died.

225
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,660
I didn't tell them
when Sergeant Padilla lost his arm.

226
00:17:27,661 --> 00:17:32,236
I didn't tell them when Pisec got shot. I
didn't tell them when Restrepo got killed.

227
00:17:32,237 --> 00:17:36,076
And then when Restrepo got killed was
a few days before my mom's birthday also.

228
00:17:36,077 --> 00:17:41,451
So I had to.. I had to suck it up
when I called my mom on her birthday

229
00:17:41,452 --> 00:17:46,445
and act like everything was okay and say
"Hey, Mom, happy birthday," you know,

230
00:17:46,446 --> 00:17:49,708
like, "Yeah, I am doing really
good out here, everything's fine."

231
00:18:08,685 --> 00:18:13,131
The change came when we in OP Restrepo.

232
00:18:13,132 --> 00:18:16,524
In the middle of the night we put up
a firebase on top of the place

233
00:18:16,525 --> 00:18:22,892
that they had used as their enemy kinetic,
you know, point of attack,

234
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:27,309
or of origin of their attack,
for the last 15 months.

235
00:18:28,877 --> 00:18:33,837
We walked up the Spur
with shovels and picks.

236
00:18:33,838 --> 00:18:38,125
We worked all though the night just
to make a small semicircle to chill in.

237
00:18:38,126 --> 00:18:41,549
We slept for maybe a couple hours each,
started doing it again.

238
00:18:41,584 --> 00:18:45,771
That day we got in five, seven firefights.

239
00:18:45,772 --> 00:18:47,404
Everybody good?

240
00:18:47,405 --> 00:18:50,828
- Yeah, we're gonna..
- Yeah!

241
00:18:50,829 --> 00:18:52,748
We'd dig. They'd shoot at us.

242
00:18:52,749 --> 00:18:55,309
They'd see us digging,
building this new place. They'd shoot.

243
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:58,732
We'd shoot back. Once it lulled down,
we started digging again.

244
00:18:58,733 --> 00:19:02,252
When the boys built that base,

245
00:19:02,253 --> 00:19:06,604
the Taliban, or the AAF forces in the
valley, they were completely in shock.

246
00:19:06,605 --> 00:19:09,484
It was like a middle finger sticking out.

247
00:19:09,485 --> 00:19:12,561
And they realized once
they could not knock

248
00:19:12,574 --> 00:19:15,660
off OP Restrepo, we
had the upper hand.

249
00:19:15,661 --> 00:19:18,060
They started becoming afraid.

250
00:19:18,061 --> 00:19:20,076
Eat some, turban head!

251
00:19:20,077 --> 00:19:22,860
Hey, hit the bottom right.
Hit the bottom right of the village.

252
00:19:22,861 --> 00:19:25,420
- Get this!
- Bottom right. Go right more.

253
00:19:32,013 --> 00:19:34,988
Hey, Solo, that's you.
I'm not shooting over everybody.

254
00:19:34,989 --> 00:19:39,213
- Let's go, let's go!
- He's down in the draw!

255
00:19:39,214 --> 00:19:41,132
- He's down in the draw.
- Down in the draw.

256
00:19:41,133 --> 00:19:42,989
How close?

257
00:20:02,605 --> 00:20:04,525
Buno, get your come up.

258
00:20:08,141 --> 00:20:10,380
Make sure you got fucking SAW
and a. 203 with you.

259
00:20:10,381 --> 00:20:13,516
- You're taking Wilson, Cortez.
- Cortez.

260
00:20:13,517 --> 00:20:15,373
Don't worry, I'll..

261
00:20:21,454 --> 00:20:24,845
Don't worry. There's very few that I
just straight up hope don't make it.

262
00:20:30,286 --> 00:20:35,116
A month or two into it, it was still
a shitty place. We were covered in dirt,

263
00:20:35,117 --> 00:20:37,953
digging all the time,
getting in firefights,

264
00:20:37,966 --> 00:20:40,813
like four or five
firefights a day.

265
00:20:40,814 --> 00:20:43,954
And so we..the majority
of us really didn't

266
00:20:43,967 --> 00:20:47,117
feel like it should be
called OP Restrepo.

267
00:20:47,118 --> 00:20:50,157
It was just a shitty place. It was just..

268
00:20:50,158 --> 00:20:54,924
It just didn't resemble
the type of person that he was.

269
00:21:18,958 --> 00:21:20,813
Scuffing up my notes.

270
00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:02,828
Sir. How you doing, sir?
Good to see you again.

271
00:23:02,829 --> 00:23:03,885
Good seeing you again.

272
00:23:03,886 --> 00:23:06,477
Welcome to the KOP.
I'd like to take you up over there, sir,

273
00:23:06,478 --> 00:23:09,069
maybe just try to give you
the once over the world here.

274
00:23:09,070 --> 00:23:12,237
This is the southern Korengal.

275
00:23:12,238 --> 00:23:14,861
This is, uh, I guess you could call it,
this is the war zone.

276
00:23:14,862 --> 00:23:16,781
This is where it's all happening.

277
00:23:16,782 --> 00:23:20,526
This is where the majority of the
population of the Korengal lives

278
00:23:20,527 --> 00:23:23,181
and probably about 90% of the fighting.

279
00:23:23,182 --> 00:23:27,053
If you look just to the south here to
that third spur that you see down there,

280
00:23:27,054 --> 00:23:31,213
which is called Honcho Hill, that is like
the enemy..I guess you could say..

281
00:23:31,214 --> 00:23:33,133
limit of advance for us.

282
00:23:33,134 --> 00:23:35,308
Like, we can't go
any further south than that.

283
00:23:35,309 --> 00:23:36,652
- What do you call it..Honcho?
- Honcho Hill.

284
00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:40,301
- Honcho Hill.
- You follow that spur,

285
00:23:40,302 --> 00:23:42,189
and you go all the way up here,
Sergeant Major,

286
00:23:42,190 --> 00:23:44,780
- and you might be able to see that..
- The tip of the..

287
00:23:44,781 --> 00:23:47,341
that top of the OP.
You can see all the bee huts and stuff.

288
00:23:47,342 --> 00:23:49,197
That's OP Restrepo.

289
00:23:49,198 --> 00:23:53,132
Everything south of that
is the enemy sanctuary.

290
00:23:53,133 --> 00:23:57,868
Battle 6, Battle 2-5,
I have around 15 up near Restrepo.

291
00:23:57,869 --> 00:24:01,645
Nothing out of the ordinary as far
as movement in the southwest today.

292
00:24:01,646 --> 00:24:06,413
Nothing but women and children
out tending to the fields and crops.

293
00:24:06,414 --> 00:24:11,820
Enemy assessment..we've got the AAF are in
the final stages to start their attack

294
00:24:11,821 --> 00:24:14,765
and moving and getting
everything in place.

295
00:24:14,766 --> 00:24:18,956
Last 24, conduct a movement
to contact into Loy Kalay,

296
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:23,821
separate the AAF from the populace
in order to spread new IO themes.

297
00:24:39,438 --> 00:24:42,477
Hey, Cunningham, on a side note,
how's the fam?

298
00:24:44,782 --> 00:24:47,692
How's the what?

299
00:24:47,693 --> 00:24:49,837
- The fam.
- The family?

300
00:24:49,838 --> 00:24:51,373
Billy.

301
00:24:51,374 --> 00:24:53,549
Good. They're pretty good.

302
00:24:56,558 --> 00:24:59,533
Were they happy to see your crazy self?

303
00:24:59,534 --> 00:25:02,637
Yeah, yeah, it was a good time, man.

304
00:25:02,638 --> 00:25:05,197
Got to hang out at the ranch
and everything like that, you know?

305
00:25:05,198 --> 00:25:07,725
Got to see pretty much everyone
in the family almost.

306
00:25:10,029 --> 00:25:13,549
Your family owns a ranch?

307
00:25:13,550 --> 00:25:16,301
Of course.

308
00:25:16,302 --> 00:25:20,428
Like cows and pigs and chickens
and horses ranch?

309
00:25:20,429 --> 00:25:21,997
No.

310
00:25:21,998 --> 00:25:24,461
Like what kind of ranch, then?

311
00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:34,765
It's like a ranch
just with like land, you know,

312
00:25:34,766 --> 00:25:37,357
with gates and stuff and
trucks and whatnot.

313
00:25:37,358 --> 00:25:40,493
Some guns, some wildlife,
you know, that you shoot at.

314
00:25:42,094 --> 00:25:45,933
Okay, so it's just a whole bunch of land
that they kill stuff on.

315
00:25:47,182 --> 00:25:50,125
Yeah. It's kind of like this.

316
00:25:50,126 --> 00:25:54,189
Yeah, but we're not hunting animals,
we're hunting people.

317
00:26:00,109 --> 00:26:02,029
Hearts and minds.

318
00:26:03,981 --> 00:26:05,421
Fucking feed tray.

319
00:26:05,422 --> 00:26:08,301
Yeah. We'll take their hearts,
and we'll take their minds.

320
00:26:14,958 --> 00:26:18,413
All right, listen up. Today we're going
to conduct a movement to contact.

321
00:26:18,414 --> 00:26:21,772
The purpose is to talk to the locals
about some IO themes,

322
00:26:21,773 --> 00:26:23,693
as far as the road construction team
coming in.

323
00:26:23,694 --> 00:26:26,093
Get some workers from their village
to take part in that.

324
00:26:26,094 --> 00:26:29,613
Talk about the cow incident.

325
00:26:29,614 --> 00:26:32,014
- Also..
- It was delicious.

326
00:26:32,015 --> 00:26:35,949
Talk about anything out of the ordinary as
far as AAF moving in through their area.

327
00:26:35,950 --> 00:26:38,061
See if they can give us
any information on that.

328
00:26:38,062 --> 00:26:40,493
Anyone have any questions?

329
00:26:43,822 --> 00:26:48,141
Guys, it's gonna suck, but I'm going
to work you guys into the ground.

330
00:26:48,142 --> 00:26:50,924
I need you guys to go out there
and do a patrol in the village

331
00:26:50,925 --> 00:26:53,101
because I need you to keep
the enemy off his toes.

332
00:26:53,102 --> 00:26:55,469
I need you to go out there
and push the enemy back

333
00:26:55,470 --> 00:26:57,230
so we can buy some white space,

334
00:26:57,231 --> 00:26:59,181
so you guys can go back up there
and work your asses off

335
00:26:59,182 --> 00:27:02,093
filling up these sandbags
so that you guys, when do get hit,

336
00:27:02,094 --> 00:27:04,590
you get hit but you got
something to hide behind.

337
00:27:04,591 --> 00:27:08,941
And the best defense is
who has the greater offense.

338
00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:14,573
3-3-4.

339
00:27:14,574 --> 00:27:17,901
6-1-4-9.

340
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:21,486
Elevation 1-5-7-9.

341
00:27:21,487 --> 00:27:24,941
And we are set in Koringal.

342
00:28:27,727 --> 00:28:28,909
What's your father do?

343
00:28:31,631 --> 00:28:35,757
A shepherd? What do you do?
Are you a shepherd, too?

344
00:28:37,742 --> 00:28:40,206
Let me see your hands.
Your hands.

345
00:28:40,207 --> 00:28:42,318
He's got pretty clean hands
for being a goat herder.

346
00:28:50,382 --> 00:28:52,493
Where'd you get that watch, man?

347
00:28:52,494 --> 00:28:54,861
You guys got a lot of goats?

348
00:28:54,862 --> 00:28:57,613
60 goats.

349
00:28:57,614 --> 00:29:00,014
60 goats?
That's pretty wealthy, right, Abdul?

350
00:29:00,015 --> 00:29:01,581
Yeah.

351
00:29:01,582 --> 00:29:04,525
Well, what do you know about
the people in Kalaygal?

352
00:29:13,966 --> 00:29:15,885
He says..

353
00:29:22,191 --> 00:29:25,518
Roger, we haven't found
anybody else to talk to.

354
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:27,595
We're going to start pushing back now.

355
00:29:27,630 --> 00:29:31,245
Hey, 2-2, this is Bravo 1.
Start pushing out towards the trail.

356
00:29:43,247 --> 00:29:45,165
Oh, fuck.

357
00:30:05,071 --> 00:30:07,150
What have they got?

358
00:30:07,151 --> 00:30:09,294
Oh, I guess a guy running.

359
00:30:09,295 --> 00:30:11,213
- A guy running?
- Yeah.

360
00:30:11,214 --> 00:30:12,622
Hey, Liz!

361
00:30:14,606 --> 00:30:17,069
Lookit. See?

362
00:30:17,070 --> 00:30:19,438
We've seen a guy run from that house
once or twice before.

363
00:30:19,439 --> 00:30:21,358
I just don't like the way it is.

364
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:23,981
I don't like how it feels right now.

365
00:30:23,982 --> 00:30:26,669
You want him watching towards
the village or down in the draw?

366
00:30:26,670 --> 00:30:29,966
- Towards the back side of the house.
- Watch the back side of the house.

367
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:39,277
Hey!

368
00:30:41,807 --> 00:30:46,125
Sit down.

369
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:04,398
They found a BDU top.
I've got eyes on it right now, over.

370
00:31:09,262 --> 00:31:13,198
Hey, keep on searching
this whole house. Search.

371
00:31:13,199 --> 00:31:16,589
Yeah, yeah, like this, good. Okay.

372
00:31:16,590 --> 00:31:20,238
Who does this belong to?

373
00:31:20,239 --> 00:31:22,542
Never mind.

374
00:31:22,543 --> 00:31:24,590
Hey..

375
00:31:35,182 --> 00:31:38,478
"If I go with you,
I'm not going to go with you right now.

376
00:31:38,479 --> 00:31:41,901
- "I will come back to the KOP."
- No, no, he's going..he's coming with us.

377
00:31:41,902 --> 00:31:44,045
This guy, he was already at the house.

378
00:31:44,046 --> 00:31:47,981
This guy came up later, saw us,
and starting taking off running.

379
00:31:47,982 --> 00:31:51,821
I got him, and ever since he started doing
what he's doing now.

380
00:31:54,446 --> 00:31:58,541
Hey, tell these guys I'm gonna sit them in
my truck, they need to sit on their hands.

381
00:32:01,838 --> 00:32:05,678
Right now what we're tracking
came in the valley on April the 11th.

382
00:32:05,679 --> 00:32:11,374
There's fifteen 107-milimeter rockets,
several cases of PKM and AK ammo.

383
00:32:11,375 --> 00:32:13,806
The fear is always there,

384
00:32:13,807 --> 00:32:16,910
especially at night when you can't
see what's coming at you.

385
00:32:18,479 --> 00:32:23,726
When we started there, we only had
maybe fourteen guys up there.

386
00:32:23,727 --> 00:32:25,486
I mean, it doesn't take much.

387
00:32:25,487 --> 00:32:29,582
A few automatic weapons will keep,
you know, a squad pinned down,

388
00:32:29,583 --> 00:32:33,614
while they could easily come up
from a side and flank you

389
00:32:33,615 --> 00:32:36,782
and, you know, go basically clear house.

390
00:32:36,783 --> 00:32:39,086
Nobody's going to help you.
You're in no man's land.

391
00:32:39,087 --> 00:32:43,438
The KOP is only seven hundred,
eight hundred meters away,

392
00:32:43,439 --> 00:32:46,990
but that might as well be
in a different country

393
00:32:46,991 --> 00:32:48,590
because they're not getting to you.

394
00:32:49,551 --> 00:32:50,766
Not in time.

395
00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:12,782
KOP's taking indirect right now.

396
00:33:14,318 --> 00:33:15,598
KOP's taking indirect.

397
00:33:26,991 --> 00:33:29,229
Can't see shit what they're doing.

398
00:33:29,230 --> 00:33:31,470
Day sight. It's something.

399
00:33:31,471 --> 00:33:32,750
Better than anything else we got.

400
00:33:32,751 --> 00:33:35,567
I need more fucking 240 here!

401
00:33:35,568 --> 00:33:37,774
One's by Karingal, the other's by Dallas.

402
00:33:44,175 --> 00:33:45,518
Right up there.

403
00:33:51,502 --> 00:33:52,782
The birds we love.

404
00:33:57,518 --> 00:34:00,879
Okay, roger, he's pretty much worked
the Honcho Hill ridge.

405
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,838
Want to push him southeast up to 3-0,
just southeast of that.

406
00:34:12,078 --> 00:34:14,190
Big firefight, great.

407
00:34:14,191 --> 00:34:17,871
Fucking packing up rounds.
That was fun, though, man, that was fun.

408
00:34:18,864 --> 00:34:20,782
You can't get a better high.

409
00:34:20,783 --> 00:34:22,351
It's like crack, you know?

410
00:34:22,352 --> 00:34:25,102
You can sky dive or bungee jump
or do, you know, kayak,

411
00:34:25,103 --> 00:34:28,046
but once you've been shot at,
you really can't come down.

412
00:34:28,047 --> 00:34:29,583
There's nothing, you can't top that.

413
00:34:29,584 --> 00:34:31,374
How are you going to go back
to the civilian world then?

414
00:34:31,375 --> 00:34:32,975
I have no idea.

415
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:36,526
Hey, did you hear me go cyclic?

416
00:34:36,527 --> 00:34:38,574
- I had the barrel smoked!
- Did you hear me?

417
00:34:38,575 --> 00:34:41,262
Yeah, what the fuck was that first
batch about, cuz?

418
00:34:41,263 --> 00:34:42,798
You was crazy as shit with that.

419
00:34:42,799 --> 00:34:46,638
Hey, soon as I popped my head up,
holy..Guess who.

420
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:48,814
And you just slid down the stairs.

421
00:34:48,815 --> 00:34:51,086
- Common game planning. I was like..
- Get down!

422
00:35:10,671 --> 00:35:12,239
The flight path over..

423
00:35:20,112 --> 00:35:21,550
He's an excellent cook,

424
00:35:21,551 --> 00:35:24,654
by far the best cook in the Korengal,
definitely.

425
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:26,287
Came up to Restrepo one time,

426
00:35:26,288 --> 00:35:30,607
cooked us fresh cow,
same-day cow.

427
00:35:30,642 --> 00:35:31,566
That was a good day.

428
00:35:39,022 --> 00:35:42,318
Jonesie, you want another grill, man?
You all right?

429
00:35:42,319 --> 00:35:44,590
No, I don't like to
fuck on a full stomach.

430
00:35:48,208 --> 00:35:50,478
Dude, we're on TV.

431
00:35:50,479 --> 00:35:54,798
Come in here for the real thing.

432
00:35:54,799 --> 00:35:57,070
Don't fight it, don't fight it.

433
00:36:13,743 --> 00:36:15,790
Why don't they mess
with you anymore, man?

434
00:36:15,791 --> 00:36:19,310
I was one of the first ones
that got messed with to begin with.

435
00:36:19,311 --> 00:36:21,422
Well, look at him, look how sexy he is.
I mean, look at this guy.

436
00:36:21,423 --> 00:36:23,727
He's a beautiful man.
I'd fuck him back in the States.

437
00:36:51,311 --> 00:36:53,615
Let's talk about the road
between Omar and Kandalay.

438
00:37:01,296 --> 00:37:02,478
What guy?

439
00:37:03,823 --> 00:37:05,550
Who did we detain?

440
00:37:05,551 --> 00:37:08,367
He says that you detain a guy.

441
00:37:08,368 --> 00:37:10,990
Haji Se, Haji Se.

442
00:37:10,991 --> 00:37:14,060
Naiim was dropped off

443
00:37:14,095 --> 00:37:17,999
by another local in Kalaygal

444
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,727
who told us that he was bad

445
00:37:19,728 --> 00:37:23,215
and that he was working with Sadikula

446
00:37:23,216 --> 00:37:25,294
in the..

447
00:37:25,295 --> 00:37:28,974
what the fuck is Sadikula
in charge of, Rudy, the Mujahadeen?

448
00:37:28,975 --> 00:37:30,543
Yeah, he's working with the Muj.

449
00:37:30,544 --> 00:37:32,879
And, he was working
with the Mujahadeen.

450
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,887
I told you guys from the very get go

451
00:37:35,888 --> 00:37:38,767
that if somebody says that they're bad,
I have to investigate it.

452
00:37:38,768 --> 00:37:41,902
So now NDS is talking to him.
He's not in jail.

453
00:37:41,903 --> 00:37:43,982
He's not being treated bad,

454
00:37:43,983 --> 00:37:46,510
he's being talked to
and asked questions.

455
00:37:46,511 --> 00:37:49,614
I think we've been pretty upfront
about how we handle people

456
00:37:49,615 --> 00:37:51,439
that we talk to and question.

457
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,974
We've been pretty fair.

458
00:37:52,975 --> 00:37:55,759
I'm not like Jim McKnight
where I take all these guys

459
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,415
and stick them in Bagram
and they never come back.

460
00:38:04,463 --> 00:38:07,726
He says were happy you're here,
you're doing very well,

461
00:38:07,727 --> 00:38:09,807
but he's saying that you detained
Mohammed Youssef before,

462
00:38:09,808 --> 00:38:12,975
now Mohammed Youssef
didn't come back.

463
00:38:12,976 --> 00:38:14,991
Rudy, who the fuck
is Mohammed Youssef?

464
00:38:14,992 --> 00:38:18,062
Mohammed Kalam's son,
the guy that cut the worker's heads off.

465
00:38:18,063 --> 00:38:21,135
That's because I saw the video
where he cut their heads off.

466
00:38:25,327 --> 00:38:26,863
I saw him do it.

467
00:38:29,263 --> 00:38:31,279
I saw him with my own two eyes.

468
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,087
You're not understanding
that I don't fucking care.

469
00:38:41,296 --> 00:38:43,822
And the thing that's sad to me is that as
much as Captain Kearney go down there

470
00:38:43,823 --> 00:38:45,839
and conduct different Shuras

471
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,263
and tell them about the positives
about what we can do to help them,

472
00:38:49,264 --> 00:38:50,990
it seemed like it didn't go anywhere.

473
00:38:50,991 --> 00:38:53,519
You know?
It seemed like everything that he..

474
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,734
We took one step forward

475
00:38:54,735 --> 00:38:56,527
and it seemed like
they took two steps backwards.

476
00:39:15,088 --> 00:39:17,999
We've got three village elders
just come down and they want to talk.

477
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,975
Not sure what they want
to talk about yet.

478
00:39:20,976 --> 00:39:22,383
It's a good sign.

479
00:39:22,384 --> 00:39:24,559
It's the first time it's happened
up here at OP Restrepo.

480
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,711
We've had people come in..

481
00:39:25,712 --> 00:39:28,975
elders come in and say before that they
wanted to provide some information,

482
00:39:28,976 --> 00:39:31,246
but never shown up to us,
you know, come back and talk to us.

483
00:39:31,247 --> 00:39:34,126
So this is a positive sign.

484
00:39:34,127 --> 00:39:36,108
Do you hear about the cow that..

485
00:39:36,143 --> 00:39:38,799
- The cow?
- Yeah, the US soldiers kill it.

486
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,367
- They killed..
- Yeah.

487
00:39:40,368 --> 00:39:42,414
So they came because of that.

488
00:39:42,415 --> 00:39:45,998
They want to get information
about the cow that..

489
00:39:45,999 --> 00:39:47,439
He is the owner of cow.

490
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,607
All right, the cow?
The reason why we killed it

491
00:39:50,608 --> 00:39:53,230
because it ran into our constantine wire

492
00:39:53,231 --> 00:39:57,166
and it was mangled
inside the constantine wire,

493
00:39:57,167 --> 00:39:59,598
so we had to kill it
to put it out of its misery

494
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:02,671
because if we would have got it out,
it would have been useless.

495
00:40:02,672 --> 00:40:05,967
- That's why we killed it.
- They are asking because it was illegal.

496
00:40:05,968 --> 00:40:07,951
- Illegal?
- Yeah, illegal.

497
00:40:07,952 --> 00:40:09,936
- To kill it?
- Yeah.

498
00:40:13,456 --> 00:40:15,727
- What do you want to do?
- Just tell them.

499
00:40:15,728 --> 00:40:17,582
What do they want us
to do about the cow?

500
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,647
Do they want to be
reimbursed somehow or..

501
00:40:29,648 --> 00:40:33,711
He says that it is up to you,
if you want to pay money for that or..

502
00:40:33,712 --> 00:40:36,559
How much does a cow cost?

503
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,640
It's going to be like four
or five hundred dollars,

504
00:40:38,641 --> 00:40:42,416
which is going to be twenty,
twenty five thousand Afghani, over.

505
00:40:44,464 --> 00:40:45,871
Did we kill this cow?

506
00:40:47,856 --> 00:40:50,863
Well, it was tangled up in a wire,
pretty much dead.

507
00:40:50,864 --> 00:40:53,679
324 ended up cutting it up. Over.

508
00:41:01,552 --> 00:41:04,495
We're not going to be able
to give him money in exchange for his cow.

509
00:41:04,496 --> 00:41:08,847
But what we can give him
is the rice, the beans, the sugar.

510
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,039
Now, the HA that they will receive

511
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,111
is going to be, you know,
the weight of the cow.

512
00:41:20,112 --> 00:41:21,999
Whatever the weight of the cow was

513
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,542
will be the weight of return of HA
as far as rice, beans, sugar.

514
00:41:39,377 --> 00:41:40,846
- Is that good?
- They want money.

515
00:41:40,847 --> 00:41:44,815
We're not going to be able
to give them the money.

516
00:41:44,816 --> 00:41:47,536
If that's all he came for,
he's not going to get it.

517
00:41:54,352 --> 00:41:57,487
626 perstat, I have 20 at Restrepo,

518
00:41:57,488 --> 00:41:59,887
15 at the KOP, 4 at OP1,

519
00:41:59,888 --> 00:42:01,135
4 on leave,

520
00:42:01,136 --> 00:42:02,767
6 ANA and one terp

521
00:42:02,768 --> 00:42:04,911
at Restrepo, break.

522
00:42:04,912 --> 00:42:07,568
Talk louder, nobody
can hear you down here, over.

523
00:42:08,592 --> 00:42:10,927
626 perstat,

524
00:42:10,928 --> 00:42:12,656
I have 20 at Restrepo,

525
00:42:12,657 --> 00:42:14,095
15 at the KOP,

526
00:42:14,096 --> 00:42:15,471
4 at OP1,

527
00:42:15,472 --> 00:42:16,400
4 on leave,

528
00:42:16,401 --> 00:42:17,711
1 photo journalist,

529
00:42:17,712 --> 00:42:18,832
6 ANA, and 1 terp..

530
00:42:18,833 --> 00:42:20,271
I didn't know they had algebra two.

531
00:42:24,496 --> 00:42:27,759
Yeah! Burning the poop!

532
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,031
Got the black man
on the burning the poop detail.

533
00:42:30,032 --> 00:42:33,615
Hey, man, just watch
yourself, God damn it.

534
00:42:33,616 --> 00:42:37,712
Second platoon killed that cow
and now I gotta pay for it.

535
00:42:37,713 --> 00:42:40,143
I still wanna see Spanky
and Vaughn go at it.

536
00:42:40,144 --> 00:42:44,367
- Vaughn would fucking destroy Spanky.
- Let's go get him.

537
00:42:44,368 --> 00:42:45,488
Vaughn!

538
00:42:48,081 --> 00:42:50,416
Vaughn, you're going
to beat Spanky's ass!

539
00:42:50,417 --> 00:42:52,239
He's coming up here,
you better not lose.

540
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:53,871
Dude, if you lose, so help me God.

541
00:42:53,872 --> 00:42:56,208
It's going to reflect poorly
on me if you lose.

542
00:42:56,209 --> 00:42:58,319
You better not let
that cherry bitch beat you.

543
00:42:59,472 --> 00:43:02,288
Make him tough.
Get him, get him.

544
00:43:02,289 --> 00:43:04,143
- Vaughn.
- What's up, dude?

545
00:43:07,089 --> 00:43:10,863
- Come on, fight back!
- You're such a little bitch.

546
00:43:14,992 --> 00:43:16,688
All right, go ahead.

547
00:43:16,689 --> 00:43:19,023
- Stretch them out.
- What the fuck, Spanky?

548
00:43:19,024 --> 00:43:21,551
You gonna let him
fucking manhandle you?

549
00:43:21,552 --> 00:43:24,239
- Let him get tired.
- Flip over, man.

550
00:43:26,512 --> 00:43:27,856
Yeah, there you go!

551
00:43:31,216 --> 00:43:32,432
Nice, there you go.

552
00:43:32,433 --> 00:43:33,647
You suck!

553
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,479
Battle of the cherries.

554
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:39,823
We're not talking about cherry
in the army either,

555
00:43:39,824 --> 00:43:41,071
we're talking about cherry at life.

556
00:43:41,072 --> 00:43:43,439
Vaughn here is very cherry at life.

557
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,999
But we're making him into a man.

558
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,016
That's all that's important here.

559
00:43:51,792 --> 00:43:53,968
We talked about the road being built.

560
00:43:53,969 --> 00:43:56,397
Continued to hear from the elders

561
00:43:56,432 --> 00:43:59,407
that they don't want
to give up any workers,

562
00:43:59,408 --> 00:44:02,351
despite what it is that you
all have been telling me.

563
00:44:02,352 --> 00:44:07,119
So if you guys get these local..
that are willing to do that

564
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,455
to come and start getting
them jobs immediately,

565
00:44:09,456 --> 00:44:11,888
to bypass all the elder..

566
00:44:11,889 --> 00:44:14,672
I don't think..
I think they're just..

567
00:44:14,673 --> 00:44:17,999
If we really fucked them up
like they said,

568
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,623
then they are just chilling,
trying to recuperate.

569
00:44:20,624 --> 00:44:22,735
It's just like what we would be doing.

570
00:44:22,736 --> 00:44:25,808
You know, seven..
eight dudes wounded,

571
00:44:25,809 --> 00:44:28,528
I mean seven dudes wounded,
one dude dead,

572
00:44:28,529 --> 00:44:31,599
we wouldn't be going out strong.

573
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,607
We'd be resting at Blessing right now.

574
00:44:34,608 --> 00:44:36,239
You know what I mean?

575
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:40,752
That's what I think
they're doing..resting.

576
00:44:40,753 --> 00:44:42,480
Are you wondering why it is so quiet?

577
00:44:42,481 --> 00:44:44,592
Yeah, it's got me baffled right now.

578
00:44:44,593 --> 00:44:46,064
Baffled or worried?

579
00:44:46,065 --> 00:44:48,400
Just confused.
I am at a loss for words right now.

580
00:44:48,401 --> 00:44:50,160
He's worried.

581
00:44:50,161 --> 00:44:51,664
He's worried. He's scared.

582
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,192
Most scared.

583
00:44:58,193 --> 00:44:59,599
Or worried. Whatever.

584
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,168
Yeah.

585
00:45:01,169 --> 00:45:03,343
I'd have to say Rock Avalanche.

586
00:45:03,344 --> 00:45:05,648
If I had to pick a moment,

587
00:45:05,649 --> 00:45:06,959
I'd probably say Rock Avalanche.

588
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:11,663
Operation Rock Avalanche
was the low point for me personally.

589
00:45:11,664 --> 00:45:13,456
I saw a lot of professional
tough guys

590
00:45:13,457 --> 00:45:15,216
get weak in the knees.

591
00:45:17,105 --> 00:45:20,240
I'll go ahead and orient you guys
to the different LZs that are out there.

592
00:45:20,241 --> 00:45:23,567
Up on Divpat where the C2 element
will be located is LZ Cubs.

593
00:45:23,568 --> 00:45:25,999
The Taliban
or the AAF forces in the valley,

594
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,591
they got very, very audacious

595
00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:32,303
and tenacious during Rock Avalanche.

596
00:45:32,304 --> 00:45:35,951
Physically putting their
hands on soldiers,

597
00:45:35,952 --> 00:45:38,928
able to get so close to us
that they can kill my soldiers,

598
00:45:38,929 --> 00:45:41,328
steal the equipment,
and still get away.

599
00:45:41,329 --> 00:45:44,269
I mean..

600
00:45:44,304 --> 00:45:46,064
that's ballsy.

601
00:45:46,065 --> 00:45:50,031
We'll be releasing with Wildcat One,

602
00:45:50,032 --> 00:45:51,440
somewhere between Busch and Coors.

603
00:45:51,441 --> 00:45:53,232
Moving in on Rock Avalanche

604
00:45:53,233 --> 00:45:57,871
with going into areas like Yaka China
or up on the top of the Talisar.

605
00:45:57,872 --> 00:46:01,071
Those are areas
we haven't previously been,

606
00:46:01,072 --> 00:46:02,831
you know, during the deployment.

607
00:46:02,832 --> 00:46:05,551
North goes that way
toward Sergeant Rougle,

608
00:46:05,552 --> 00:46:08,143
south is this way towards me
and the First Sergeant.

609
00:46:08,144 --> 00:46:10,960
To go in there not ever having
laid eyes on the area,

610
00:46:10,961 --> 00:46:15,280
hearing the stories
about guys who'd gone prior to us

611
00:46:15,281 --> 00:46:17,135
getting fucked up down,
you know,

612
00:46:17,136 --> 00:46:19,151
in areas where they
literally shouldn't have been in.

613
00:46:19,152 --> 00:46:24,016
We're going to be moving out
of HLZ Cubs into HLZ Polk.

614
00:46:24,017 --> 00:46:26,256
In Rock Avalanche we knew
the expectation that we was going

615
00:46:26,291 --> 00:46:27,535
to get engaged going up there,

616
00:46:27,536 --> 00:46:29,488
but we all knew that.

617
00:46:29,489 --> 00:46:31,157
In the location where
we was actually going

618
00:46:31,170 --> 00:46:32,848
to conducting this
operation and stuff,

619
00:46:32,849 --> 00:46:35,280
was where the bad guys,
their safe haven was at.

620
00:46:35,281 --> 00:46:37,008
: They wasn't coming to you.

621
00:46:37,009 --> 00:46:39,376
Sometimes you had to go out there
and reach out to them.

622
00:46:47,569 --> 00:46:50,768
Go into program,
go into your radio configurations,

623
00:46:50,769 --> 00:46:54,000
and then where it says
SINCGARS or basic,

624
00:46:54,001 --> 00:46:56,880
change that to ANDVT.

625
00:46:58,225 --> 00:47:00,784
- Coming after you, motherfucker.
- Right here, bitch?

626
00:47:00,819 --> 00:47:05,040
Let's do this, motherfucker!
I'm coming back.

627
00:47:05,041 --> 00:47:06,383
I'm coming back, don't worry.

628
00:47:06,384 --> 00:47:08,816
Do you get nervous
before something like this?

629
00:47:10,417 --> 00:47:13,232
I get nervous for the guys.
I get nervous for myself.

630
00:47:13,233 --> 00:47:16,560
I mean, I just..
I just called my mom and dad

631
00:47:16,561 --> 00:47:18,576
and I'll try calling my wife
before I take off,

632
00:47:18,577 --> 00:47:21,072
just one last "I love you"
to all of them.

633
00:47:21,073 --> 00:47:24,560
And, you know, the guys,
that's the hardest thing is like,

634
00:47:24,561 --> 00:47:26,288
you know, if something happens to me,

635
00:47:26,289 --> 00:47:28,783
there's not much I can do
about it or anything like that.

636
00:47:28,784 --> 00:47:32,496
But it takes a little bit out of you

637
00:47:32,497 --> 00:47:36,080
every time you see one of your boys
get hurt or you lose one of them.

638
00:47:36,081 --> 00:47:37,872
It's really like a big family.

639
00:47:53,584 --> 00:47:56,080
We flew in the middle of the night.

640
00:47:56,081 --> 00:48:00,432
Guess what, they're not
quiet helicopters that we fly.

641
00:48:00,433 --> 00:48:01,776
The enemy's awake now.

642
00:48:01,777 --> 00:48:03,951
What the fuck are the Americans
doing flying over us right now?

643
00:48:06,193 --> 00:48:08,176
So now everybody's on
their radio's, I'm sure,

644
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:10,576
you know, "Hey, the Americans
are heading this way."

645
00:48:10,577 --> 00:48:13,296
So we got on the ground
and we were already being told,

646
00:48:13,297 --> 00:48:16,111
be on alert, you know,
everybody knows we're here.

647
00:49:17,681 --> 00:49:21,200
If we could get one going
from west to east into that draw, over.

648
00:49:26,513 --> 00:49:27,503
It's real hot.

649
00:49:28,497 --> 00:49:30,544
- All right, break.
- Coming out.

650
00:49:30,545 --> 00:49:33,614
I'd like you to come in
for one more re-attack.

651
00:49:33,649 --> 00:49:38,736
Come down in elevation in that draw
and fill right there in the center, over.

652
00:49:42,257 --> 00:49:43,952
So you did hit the target.

653
00:49:47,569 --> 00:49:49,104
This house right there.

654
00:50:04,145 --> 00:50:07,408
This is the aftermath of what AH-64s do.

655
00:50:07,409 --> 00:50:09,873
Good old attack helicopters.

656
00:51:20,657 --> 00:51:23,728
He said that there is
five guys already dead

657
00:51:23,729 --> 00:51:29,361
and ten of the females and kids already,
they are injured, you know.

658
00:51:29,362 --> 00:51:32,464
Show me which of them is the Taliban.

659
00:51:32,465 --> 00:51:33,744
There is no Taliban.

660
00:51:40,241 --> 00:51:42,224
Damn it.

661
00:51:42,225 --> 00:51:43,888
You know?
I need to know better.

662
00:51:43,889 --> 00:51:45,552
I need to figure this stuff out better

663
00:51:45,553 --> 00:51:47,249
so that I can do this,

664
00:51:47,250 --> 00:51:49,488
so that I'm not killing these people
and not making them mad.

665
00:51:49,489 --> 00:51:51,856
I mean, first impressions
are the lasting impression.

666
00:51:51,857 --> 00:51:54,737
That's the first time anybody's been
in Yaka China, and what do I do?

667
00:51:54,738 --> 00:51:58,769
I kill a bunch of bad guys,

668
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:01,809
but in the same instance,

669
00:52:01,810 --> 00:52:04,304
I'm killing five locals

670
00:52:04,305 --> 00:52:07,344
that may not have been
the ones that pulled the trigger,

671
00:52:07,345 --> 00:52:09,968
but in some way shape or form,
were connected to them.

672
00:52:14,225 --> 00:52:15,185
There you go.

673
00:52:32,593 --> 00:52:33,904
Dishka?

674
00:52:36,753 --> 00:52:39,920
Afghan dishka,
not American dishka, right?

675
00:52:43,505 --> 00:52:45,457
This is divorce paper.

676
00:52:45,458 --> 00:52:47,056
- What?
- Divorce paper.

677
00:52:47,057 --> 00:52:48,433
- Di-wars?
- Paper, yeah.

678
00:52:48,434 --> 00:52:50,000
- What does that mean?
- Divorce.

679
00:52:50,001 --> 00:52:53,169
Like some woman you getting married
then you're going to get a divorce.

680
00:52:53,170 --> 00:52:54,736
- Divorce papers?
- Yeah.

681
00:52:54,737 --> 00:52:55,857
Okay.

682
00:52:57,138 --> 00:52:58,737
Who owns the house?

683
00:53:04,305 --> 00:53:06,000
Did you ask him where the pistol was?

684
00:53:09,041 --> 00:53:12,881
Eight RPG heads.
One, two, three, four boosters.

685
00:53:12,882 --> 00:53:16,112
Got four boosters,
three batteries, shotgun.

686
00:53:38,514 --> 00:53:40,209
This is Colonel Ostlund,
he's my boss,

687
00:53:40,210 --> 00:53:41,808
you know, the one I always tell you.

688
00:53:45,745 --> 00:53:48,465
We brought the Colonel
down there to talk to them,

689
00:53:48,466 --> 00:53:51,984
and we did that because
basically we felt bad

690
00:53:51,985 --> 00:53:54,321
for the fact that we injured
some of their kids

691
00:53:54,322 --> 00:53:56,689
and that we killed
some of the locals.

692
00:53:56,690 --> 00:54:00,241
The ACM that comes in
and gives you five dollars

693
00:54:00,242 --> 00:54:01,969
to carry this stuff
around the mountains

694
00:54:01,970 --> 00:54:04,081
and tells you that
you're doing a jihad

695
00:54:04,082 --> 00:54:05,840
and go fight the Americans

696
00:54:05,841 --> 00:54:07,665
is doing nothing for you

697
00:54:07,666 --> 00:54:09,968
except making you a slave
for five dollars

698
00:54:09,969 --> 00:54:11,761
as he hides on a mountain,

699
00:54:11,762 --> 00:54:13,808
because he won't fight my soldiers.

700
00:54:13,809 --> 00:54:15,569
These foreigners,
they don't fight my soldiers.

701
00:54:15,570 --> 00:54:17,521
They hide on a mountain in a cave,

702
00:54:17,522 --> 00:54:19,761
under a rock and talk on a radio

703
00:54:19,762 --> 00:54:23,089
and pay your sons
a small amount of money

704
00:54:23,090 --> 00:54:25,649
to go ahead
and shoot at my soldiers

705
00:54:25,650 --> 00:54:27,729
and my soldiers
end up killing your sons.

706
00:54:36,594 --> 00:54:38,225
But this is the deal we'll make.

707
00:54:38,226 --> 00:54:39,825
Everybody needs a job,

708
00:54:39,826 --> 00:54:42,577
and we're going to try to bring
progress here and some jobs,

709
00:54:42,578 --> 00:54:45,584
and Captain Kearney will talk
to the Shura on Friday

710
00:54:45,585 --> 00:54:47,440
about some job projects.

711
00:54:53,425 --> 00:54:55,249
The whole time we were there,
we were thinking, "Okay."

712
00:54:55,250 --> 00:54:56,817
When's it coming?
When's it coming.

713
00:54:56,818 --> 00:54:58,673
They're going to hit us.
When's it going to happen?

714
00:55:20,274 --> 00:55:23,249
- This sucks, dude.
- I'm just going to double check it.

715
00:55:23,250 --> 00:55:25,648
ICOM chatter right now
coming out of Chappadara,

716
00:55:25,649 --> 00:55:28,210
a guy named Obed's talking
to the elders,

717
00:55:28,211 --> 00:55:33,041
and apparently said that the elders
are in charge of what's going on.

718
00:55:33,042 --> 00:55:35,793
The elders basically want
jihad down here in the Korengal,

719
00:55:35,794 --> 00:55:38,257
and whatever they want, they'll..
they're here to assist,

720
00:55:38,258 --> 00:55:40,400
so we'll see what happens.

721
00:55:40,401 --> 00:55:42,161
But it doesn't sound
very good for us, huh?

722
00:56:10,258 --> 00:56:11,697
Hey, Sergeant Patterson,

723
00:56:11,698 --> 00:56:13,840
I found four fighting positions
over there, AK-47s.

724
00:56:13,841 --> 00:56:15,473
I'm going to push to this next hilltop.

725
00:56:15,474 --> 00:56:18,482
I'm also getting ICOM traffic
that there may be enemy close to us.

726
00:56:22,546 --> 00:56:26,610
Getting intel saying that they've got eyes
on three to four US personnel

727
00:56:26,611 --> 00:56:28,401
and they're getting close to them.

728
00:56:34,769 --> 00:56:37,041
So they've got eyes on us
and it can be anywhere,

729
00:56:37,042 --> 00:56:38,577
this high ground there,

730
00:56:38,578 --> 00:56:40,177
there's some more spurs back there,

731
00:56:40,178 --> 00:56:42,801
there's one we crossed
to an open patch back there.

732
00:56:42,802 --> 00:56:45,489
They could have easily had eyes on us
when we were moving in.

733
00:56:53,394 --> 00:56:55,345
What the fuck was that?

734
00:56:57,458 --> 00:56:58,705
Did you hear that?

735
00:56:58,706 --> 00:57:00,241
It might be the birds, sir.

736
00:57:00,242 --> 00:57:01,393
Shooting?

737
00:57:05,426 --> 00:57:07,057
Am I just jumpy?

738
00:57:09,811 --> 00:57:12,977
Fucking Christ, monitor this.

739
00:57:31,027 --> 00:57:33,905
Sergeant P..

740
00:57:33,906 --> 00:57:35,921
do we got guys in these
pine trees right here?

741
00:57:37,010 --> 00:57:38,193
Do we?

742
00:57:55,506 --> 00:57:58,897
When the attack finally happened,

743
00:57:58,898 --> 00:58:01,681
I remember it was myself
and my team

744
00:58:01,682 --> 00:58:04,817
on the south eastern corner

745
00:58:04,818 --> 00:58:07,570
of basically the area
that we were covering.

746
00:58:07,571 --> 00:58:09,553
We got ambushed, like,

747
00:58:09,554 --> 00:58:13,201
just every single position got hit
at the same time pretty much.

748
00:58:13,202 --> 00:58:16,593
They placed a PKM a machine gun
down into our position

749
00:58:16,594 --> 00:58:18,801
and one orientated
into the scout position,

750
00:58:18,802 --> 00:58:21,041
and just rained down hell.

751
00:58:21,042 --> 00:58:22,606
I just look over to my right

752
00:58:22,641 --> 00:58:24,977
and I see rounds breaking
branches off the tree.

753
00:58:24,978 --> 00:58:27,953
They were shooting RPGs at us,

754
00:58:27,954 --> 00:58:29,682
they were shooting
pretty much everything.

755
00:58:29,683 --> 00:58:32,210
When I got hit,
it actually came

756
00:58:32,211 --> 00:58:35,089
with enough force
that it rolled me forward.

757
00:58:35,090 --> 00:58:38,833
You know, initial thought was,
"What happened?"

758
00:58:38,834 --> 00:58:41,393
I felt pain, you know,

759
00:58:41,394 --> 00:58:43,665
placed my hand there
just underneath my IBA

760
00:58:43,666 --> 00:58:45,905
because that's where I felt,
you know, the initial pain,

761
00:58:45,906 --> 00:58:49,521
pulled my hand out,
saw blood, knew I was hit.

762
00:58:49,522 --> 00:58:51,857
I looked up in time from all fours

763
00:58:51,858 --> 00:58:55,601
to watch a guy come over the crest
probably about 35-45 meters

764
00:58:55,602 --> 00:58:58,929
to fire an RPG directly at me.

765
00:58:58,930 --> 00:59:01,745
Initial thought was, "Wow,
this is the last thing I'm going to see,"

766
00:59:01,746 --> 00:59:03,665
because the guy was so close.

767
00:59:03,666 --> 00:59:07,890
And, you know,
the round came in, exploded.

768
00:59:07,891 --> 00:59:10,930
Took shrapnel all throughout
my body, but..

769
00:59:10,931 --> 00:59:13,521
kind of did..
after the explosion, like,

770
00:59:13,522 --> 00:59:15,919
"I'm still here, I'm still alive,"

771
00:59:15,954 --> 00:59:21,138
and then proceeded to basically roll
down the mountain into the bushes.

772
00:59:21,173 --> 00:59:23,473
And they were all up in position,

773
00:59:23,474 --> 00:59:25,489
I could hear them talking to each other.

774
00:59:25,490 --> 00:59:29,937
To our north we heard somebody
yelling for a medic.

775
00:59:29,938 --> 00:59:32,850
I was the first one that heard it.
I yelled back to Sergeant Hoyt,

776
00:59:32,851 --> 00:59:35,441
telling him if I could go
and see who who it was.

777
00:59:35,442 --> 00:59:39,730
Myself along with Cortez
started moving..

778
00:59:39,731 --> 00:59:42,002
we started bounding towards where
we heard the guy yelling from.

779
00:59:42,003 --> 00:59:43,314
We didn't know who it was.

780
00:59:43,315 --> 00:59:44,945
I got to the wounded and found out
it was Vandenberge.

781
00:59:44,946 --> 00:59:47,377
I yelled back it was Vandenberge
that was wounded, bring a medic.

782
00:59:47,378 --> 00:59:48,914
He was just bleeding real bad.

783
00:59:48,915 --> 00:59:51,986
His whole left side of his body
was this real dark red color.

784
00:59:51,987 --> 00:59:54,578
And all he kept on saying was,
"Hey, help me, guys. Help me."

785
00:59:54,579 --> 00:59:55,826
just rocking back and forth.

786
00:59:55,827 --> 00:59:59,441
Saying "I'm bleeding out,
you gotta save me. I'm dying."

787
00:59:59,442 --> 01:00:01,617
Just stuff like that.

788
01:00:01,618 --> 01:00:03,474
Started handing him
gauze, tourniquet.

789
01:00:03,475 --> 01:00:05,905
Just started packing
the wound with gauze.

790
01:00:05,906 --> 01:00:07,857
I had my finger
knuckle-deep in his arm.

791
01:00:07,858 --> 01:00:09,426
Ended up stopping the bleeding.

792
01:00:09,427 --> 01:00:11,537
I'm asking,
"Where are the guys at?

793
01:00:11,538 --> 01:00:13,714
Where's the Taliban at?
Where's the enemy at?"

794
01:00:13,715 --> 01:00:17,650
Last time he saw them,
they were 20 feet away.

795
01:00:19,539 --> 01:00:21,778
And just was I was
going to give him an IV,

796
01:00:21,779 --> 01:00:23,922
Sergeant Stichter
and Doc Old got there

797
01:00:23,923 --> 01:00:25,649
and carried on from there.

798
01:00:25,650 --> 01:00:29,265
Sergeant Patterson and all them took over,
and I pushed out with Cortez.

799
01:00:29,266 --> 01:00:30,737
We didn't bound,
we didn't do anything,

800
01:00:30,738 --> 01:00:32,146
we just ran in a straight line

801
01:00:32,147 --> 01:00:35,665
and got to Rice as quick as we can.

802
01:00:35,666 --> 01:00:38,449
At that point I kind of realized,
"Hey, I'm stable.

803
01:00:38,450 --> 01:00:40,337
"You know, I been here
ten, fifteen minutes.

804
01:00:40,338 --> 01:00:43,634
I'm still breathing,
I'm not going into shock."

805
01:00:43,635 --> 01:00:45,650
Kind of evaluating myself.

806
01:00:45,651 --> 01:00:47,890
So basically just gave them orders to..

807
01:00:47,891 --> 01:00:49,586
"Hey, you need
to maneuver your guys.

808
01:00:49,587 --> 01:00:52,978
And push up
and clear across that hilltop."

809
01:00:52,979 --> 01:00:54,865
As I went up,
I didn't see anyone there.

810
01:00:54,866 --> 01:00:56,754
I took a knee and set up security,

811
01:00:56,755 --> 01:00:58,225
and when I turned to my right,

812
01:00:58,226 --> 01:00:59,794
I saw Sergeant Rougle just laying there.

813
01:00:59,795 --> 01:01:01,841
I ran up and I saw
Sergeant Rougle's body

814
01:01:01,842 --> 01:01:04,274
and it didn't even click.

815
01:01:04,309 --> 01:01:05,841
I ran past him.

816
01:01:05,842 --> 01:01:10,481
I saw his face, how it was,
kind of messed up.

817
01:01:10,482 --> 01:01:14,354
I wanted to cry, but didn't.

818
01:01:16,051 --> 01:01:17,682
I was shocked, honestly.

819
01:01:17,683 --> 01:01:23,282
I was shocked because I saw
Sergeant Rougle just laying there.

820
01:01:23,283 --> 01:01:27,473
It was..It was chaos.

821
01:01:28,563 --> 01:01:30,865
And when we finally had a second

822
01:01:30,866 --> 01:01:33,490
to stop and think,

823
01:01:33,491 --> 01:01:35,697
that's when I realized that

824
01:01:35,698 --> 01:01:38,897
one of my good friends
had gone, you know,

825
01:01:38,898 --> 01:01:41,841
and I started hearing about
Sergeant Rice, Vandenberge.

826
01:01:41,842 --> 01:01:44,658
I didn't even know that they
had been hit at that point.

827
01:01:44,659 --> 01:01:45,969
And..

828
01:01:56,947 --> 01:01:58,129
I need a..

829
01:01:58,130 --> 01:01:59,730
Yeah, time out. Hold on.

830
01:02:04,562 --> 01:02:06,674
I'm just trying to keep
my train of thought.

831
01:02:26,003 --> 01:02:28,466
Have that box ready.
Have the next goddamn box ready.

832
01:02:28,467 --> 01:02:30,546
Hey, I need immediate
suppression on 2251.

833
01:02:30,547 --> 01:02:32,241
They enemy's pushed up
on the high ground..

834
01:02:35,475 --> 01:02:37,010
We're not getting shit.

835
01:02:41,682 --> 01:02:43,953
512255, if we've got A-1 Os,

836
01:02:43,954 --> 01:02:49,010
I want gun runs from east to west
coming in, okay?

837
01:02:49,011 --> 01:02:51,281
The hill's been taken over by the enemy.

838
01:02:51,282 --> 01:02:52,370
That hill right here?

839
01:02:52,371 --> 01:02:53,682
Wildcat's hill.

840
01:02:53,683 --> 01:02:56,274
All right, we're going to go around
to the east and go around.

841
01:03:00,147 --> 01:03:02,545
Hey, Abdul!
Get the fuck over here!

842
01:03:02,546 --> 01:03:06,162
Tell these guys we're pushing up
on this fucking ridge.

843
01:03:06,163 --> 01:03:08,369
Hey, he wants us to go up
over this hill and bum rush it.

844
01:03:08,370 --> 01:03:09,746
There's fucking dudes right there.

845
01:03:09,747 --> 01:03:12,017
If we do that, we're going to have
to fucking lay down some..

846
01:03:12,018 --> 01:03:13,778
We're going to have
to lay down fire first.

847
01:03:13,779 --> 01:03:15,826
- Yeah, but we..
- We can't get a hold of them.

848
01:03:15,827 --> 01:03:17,074
We don't know where they're at.

849
01:03:17,075 --> 01:03:18,898
That's why we have
to lay down fire first.

850
01:03:33,075 --> 01:03:35,218
Look, they took fire
from right over here.

851
01:03:35,219 --> 01:03:37,010
Okay?

852
01:03:37,011 --> 01:03:39,442
Hey, who's down?

853
01:03:39,443 --> 01:03:41,457
We got Sergeant Rougle and them up?

854
01:03:41,458 --> 01:03:43,378
Hey.

855
01:03:43,379 --> 01:03:44,402
What?

856
01:03:48,946 --> 01:03:50,002
Where they at?

857
01:03:52,659 --> 01:03:54,098
Just keep down.

858
01:03:54,099 --> 01:03:55,730
- Get down.
- What?

859
01:03:56,914 --> 01:03:58,771
- What's going on?
- Just chill out, dude.

860
01:03:58,772 --> 01:04:01,459
- Chill the fuck out out.
- Who's over there?

861
01:04:01,460 --> 01:04:02,706
Oh, my God.

862
01:04:05,492 --> 01:04:06,513
Shut up.

863
01:04:08,403 --> 01:04:10,034
Move, man.

864
01:04:10,035 --> 01:04:11,954
Is Sergeant Rice still alive?

865
01:04:11,955 --> 01:04:13,618
- He's alive?
- He's going to make it.

866
01:04:17,490 --> 01:04:19,602
- There's nothing we could do.
- Where's everybody else?

867
01:04:19,603 --> 01:04:22,642
Hey, we've got friendlies here
and friendlies to your six, right there.

868
01:04:22,643 --> 01:04:24,338
Vandenberge all right?

869
01:04:24,339 --> 01:04:27,058
Vandenberge's already..
He's stable right now.

870
01:04:28,850 --> 01:04:30,162
That ain't Sergeant Rougle.

871
01:04:31,316 --> 01:04:33,074
You're lying, right, man?

872
01:04:33,075 --> 01:04:36,434
Why would I lie about
something like that?

873
01:04:36,435 --> 01:04:38,387
Where'd he get hit?
I got to see.

874
01:04:38,388 --> 01:04:40,178
Don't look at him.
Is it bad?

875
01:04:40,179 --> 01:04:41,619
Tell me, dude.
Tell me, dude.

876
01:04:41,620 --> 01:04:43,442
It was quick.
It was quick.

877
01:04:46,547 --> 01:04:47,891
There was nothing we could do, bro!

878
01:04:56,564 --> 01:04:58,738
Where the bad guys at?

879
01:04:58,739 --> 01:05:00,371
Battle Six Romeo, this is two-six.

880
01:05:00,372 --> 01:05:04,083
I've pushed to the site
of the KIA, break.

881
01:05:05,875 --> 01:05:07,536
Right now we have the hilltop.

882
01:05:07,571 --> 01:05:09,778
It's in the same vicinity as my last grid.

883
01:05:09,779 --> 01:05:11,570
Right now we're going
to move the wounded in action..

884
01:05:11,571 --> 01:05:13,970
there's two of them..
back to LZ Eagles.

885
01:05:13,971 --> 01:05:18,003
When Captain Kearney
told me up by the LZ

886
01:05:18,038 --> 01:05:22,035
that Staff Sergeant Rougle was killed,

887
01:05:22,036 --> 01:05:25,171
it was gut wrenching.

888
01:05:28,371 --> 01:05:30,930
You know, there's different
levels to quality of fighters.

889
01:05:30,931 --> 01:05:36,402
He was one of the best,
if not the best.

890
01:05:36,403 --> 01:05:40,179
And I think that was what was tough
for a lot of people was,

891
01:05:40,180 --> 01:05:42,130
you know, kind of knowing that
in the back of their mind,

892
01:05:42,131 --> 01:05:45,170
well, if the best guy we have
out here just got killed,

893
01:05:45,171 --> 01:05:46,547
where's that put me?

894
01:05:46,548 --> 01:05:48,722
What's going to happen to me?

895
01:05:48,723 --> 01:05:52,082
What's going to happen
to the guy to my left, to my right?

896
01:05:58,803 --> 01:06:01,555
Hey, we're going down here
to get the wounded first.

897
01:06:11,891 --> 01:06:14,002
- Hey, let's go.
- Let's go.

898
01:06:14,003 --> 01:06:15,506
It was a coordinated attack.

899
01:06:15,507 --> 01:06:18,258
They drew all our attention
over to there from here.

900
01:06:18,259 --> 01:06:21,266
These guys over here
also returning fire from there.

901
01:06:21,267 --> 01:06:22,898
They fucking flanked them.

902
01:06:22,899 --> 01:06:26,674
You can see where the path is here
where the fuckers came up.

903
01:06:28,531 --> 01:06:30,866
Okay, where's this fucking compound?
I want it destroyed.

904
01:06:30,867 --> 01:06:33,650
Let's go.

905
01:06:33,651 --> 01:06:35,826
- Stichter, destroy it now.
- Yes, sir.

906
01:06:48,563 --> 01:06:52,050
After we go ahead
and get the KIA out of here,

907
01:06:52,051 --> 01:06:56,530
I want gunmetal to search
directly to my west.

908
01:06:56,531 --> 01:06:59,091
Hijar believes that he has a blood trail,

909
01:06:59,092 --> 01:07:01,458
I want them to be getting
down low to try and PID

910
01:07:01,459 --> 01:07:02,931
and see where this guy's stopped.

911
01:07:02,932 --> 01:07:05,171
It's likely that where
we find this son of a bitch

912
01:07:05,172 --> 01:07:06,835
is where we find everybody else.

913
01:07:08,915 --> 01:07:10,515
Hijar, make sure he understood that.

914
01:07:36,339 --> 01:07:37,747
Watch the pine trees.

915
01:07:37,748 --> 01:07:39,890
Just on the north side of that,
you can see a house on the corner.

916
01:07:39,891 --> 01:07:41,554
As it cuts like that?

917
01:07:41,555 --> 01:07:42,899
It comes almost like an L shape.

918
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:45,363
- See the terraces right there?
- Got it.

919
01:07:45,398 --> 01:07:47,826
Okay, now, the fucking
far southeast side,

920
01:07:47,827 --> 01:07:50,706
there's a fucking..there's a dude
on the roof down in that house.

921
01:07:51,891 --> 01:07:55,699
- About a thousand meters.
- Roger.

922
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:59,027
Hey, Raeon's got a guy
to our northwest

923
01:07:59,028 --> 01:08:02,867
on top of a building
walking around, over.

924
01:08:02,868 --> 01:08:04,787
- Any other info?
- No.

925
01:08:04,788 --> 01:08:06,514
He was looking up this way,

926
01:08:06,515 --> 01:08:07,955
and he just came off the roof,

927
01:08:07,956 --> 01:08:09,074
and he went back in his house.

928
01:08:09,075 --> 01:08:10,418
Roger, acknowledge.

929
01:08:10,419 --> 01:08:13,298
Raeon, next time you see that dude,
take his head off.

930
01:08:17,043 --> 01:08:18,611
Where's that range finder at?

931
01:08:21,171 --> 01:08:22,867
He was a good dude, man.

932
01:08:22,868 --> 01:08:24,274
Sergeant Rougle?

933
01:08:26,292 --> 01:08:27,890
- You want a real cigarette?
- Yeah.

934
01:08:31,027 --> 01:08:33,907
I'm worried about the rest of the guys.
They've been taking it real bad.

935
01:08:35,187 --> 01:08:36,979
One Alpha's kind of
blaming it on himself

936
01:08:36,980 --> 01:08:39,154
because we couldn't
push over the top,

937
01:08:39,155 --> 01:08:41,234
but the thing he's got to understand
is they fucking..

938
01:08:41,235 --> 01:08:42,867
He was dead instantly.

939
01:08:42,868 --> 01:08:44,435
There's nothing you can do right there.

940
01:09:04,371 --> 01:09:06,419
Actually, I can't even sleep, honestly.

941
01:09:06,420 --> 01:09:09,075
I've been on about four or five
different types of sleeping pills

942
01:09:09,076 --> 01:09:10,323
and none of them help.

943
01:09:10,324 --> 01:09:12,275
That's how bad the nightmares are.

944
01:09:12,276 --> 01:09:14,707
I prefer not to sleep
and not dream about it,

945
01:09:14,708 --> 01:09:17,011
than sleep and..

946
01:09:17,012 --> 01:09:19,443
just see the picture in my head is..

947
01:09:19,444 --> 01:09:20,467
pretty bad.

948
01:09:27,028 --> 01:09:30,227
That actually stuck with me
for the rest of the deployment.

949
01:09:32,660 --> 01:09:36,435
Stuck with me through
coming back here to Italy.

950
01:09:37,908 --> 01:09:40,467
I still obviously haven't..

951
01:09:40,468 --> 01:09:42,707
figured out how to deal
with it inside.

952
01:09:47,444 --> 01:09:49,619
The only hope
I have right now is that

953
01:09:49,620 --> 01:09:52,307
eventually I'll be able
to process it differently.

954
01:09:52,308 --> 01:09:54,483
I'm never going to forget it.

955
01:09:54,484 --> 01:09:56,723
Never going to even let go of it.

956
01:09:58,004 --> 01:10:01,778
I don't want to not
have that as a memory

957
01:10:01,779 --> 01:10:03,475
because that was tone of the moments

958
01:10:03,476 --> 01:10:06,899
that makes me appreciate
everything that I have.

959
01:11:59,381 --> 01:12:00,339
Steiner?

960
01:12:01,972 --> 01:12:03,347
Steiner, come on!

961
01:12:12,692 --> 01:12:14,547
Not yet. Not yet.

962
01:12:51,828 --> 01:12:53,619
Still working to try to bring about

963
01:12:53,620 --> 01:12:57,555
the Korengal
to get the road moving here.

964
01:12:57,556 --> 01:12:59,603
Are you really drawing
the Korengal Valley?

965
01:13:01,525 --> 01:13:03,411
It's the only thing
I know how to draw.

966
01:13:08,757 --> 01:13:12,115
I just send it home in letters.

967
01:13:12,116 --> 01:13:13,491
Just draw.

968
01:13:36,404 --> 01:13:38,163
So do you have a songbook or something,

969
01:13:38,164 --> 01:13:41,332
or an exercise book to practice with?

970
01:13:41,333 --> 01:13:42,515
You just fuck around?

971
01:13:42,516 --> 01:13:43,699
Yeah I'm just fucking around.

972
01:13:43,700 --> 01:13:46,963
You need one of those books,
with the charts on them.

973
01:13:46,964 --> 01:13:48,755
Yeah, I need..that would be nice.

974
01:13:48,756 --> 01:13:50,900
Restrepo was teaching me that stuff,

975
01:13:50,901 --> 01:13:54,803
but he..he taught me like a few,

976
01:13:54,804 --> 01:13:57,203
but I wrote just one, a C chord,

977
01:13:57,204 --> 01:14:00,659
but, you know, I don't know.

978
01:14:00,660 --> 01:14:03,251
I still have his..

979
01:14:03,252 --> 01:14:05,971
I actually still have
one of his Flamenco books

980
01:14:05,972 --> 01:14:07,379
or whatever it is.

981
01:14:07,380 --> 01:14:09,363
How to play guitar flamenco,
you know.

982
01:14:09,364 --> 01:14:12,564
He was amazing on guitar.

983
01:14:12,565 --> 01:14:15,091
- It was just beautiful music.
- It was amazing.

984
01:14:15,092 --> 01:14:17,012
He used to grow
his fingernails out real long,

985
01:14:17,013 --> 01:14:18,931
and put like nail hardener.

986
01:14:18,932 --> 01:14:21,204
So we always used
to get on him about that.

987
01:14:21,205 --> 01:14:23,091
Yeah, but..with his teeth..

988
01:14:23,092 --> 01:14:24,468
"yeah, but can..

989
01:14:24,469 --> 01:14:26,772
"can you play the guitar
like me, yo, son?

990
01:14:26,773 --> 01:14:28,051
Shun?"

991
01:14:49,397 --> 01:14:52,563
Twenty seven May,
movement to contact west of Restrepo.

992
01:14:52,564 --> 01:14:56,212
Task disrupt, purpose prevent AAF
from building mass fires on Restrepo.

993
01:14:56,213 --> 01:14:57,779
That concludes my report. Over.

994
01:15:01,652 --> 01:15:04,019
- How long till he gets tired?
- Hump him, Walker.

995
01:15:04,020 --> 01:15:05,395
Ow, my hip.

996
01:15:07,221 --> 01:15:10,164
Is he squeezing you
with his fucking mammoth legs?

997
01:15:13,780 --> 01:15:17,267
- Heart punch, heart punch.
- There you go, film Walker.

998
01:15:17,268 --> 01:15:18,484
Walker!

999
01:15:21,141 --> 01:15:23,635
I think they just changed,
didn't they?

1000
01:15:23,636 --> 01:15:26,036
I just want to see.

1001
01:15:26,037 --> 01:15:27,956
- Walker.
- I'm bored.

1002
01:15:27,957 --> 01:15:29,620
Say something to your wife.
Dude, you know you want to.

1003
01:15:29,621 --> 01:15:31,123
Hey, babe, I miss you.

1004
01:15:31,124 --> 01:15:32,723
Can't wait to get home and..

1005
01:15:35,796 --> 01:15:37,971
Hurry up, hurry up!

1006
01:15:37,972 --> 01:15:40,212
Do you want to know
when you're going home or not?

1007
01:15:41,716 --> 01:15:44,723
All right, what's been told
to the wives is

1008
01:15:44,724 --> 01:15:47,156
we'll be back in Italy,
not out of country,

1009
01:15:47,157 --> 01:15:50,259
back in Italy between
August 4th and 7th.

1010
01:15:50,260 --> 01:15:52,275
So look at your fucking watch.

1011
01:15:52,276 --> 01:15:55,252
Two months from today
and counting down.

1012
01:15:55,253 --> 01:15:57,812
That's bad news if you're
one of those dudes that's like,

1013
01:15:57,813 --> 01:15:59,732
"Fuck, I love it here and I wanted
to wait till September

1014
01:15:59,767 --> 01:16:00,980
and get an extra thousand dollars."

1015
01:16:00,981 --> 01:16:02,931
And if that's you, I don't care.

1016
01:16:02,932 --> 01:16:04,820
Fuck you.
We're going home.

1017
01:16:12,021 --> 01:16:14,900
Today things were a little bit hectic.

1018
01:16:14,901 --> 01:16:17,587
We found out that one of our sister
companies, Chosen Company,

1019
01:16:17,588 --> 01:16:19,924
up north of Camp Blessing,

1020
01:16:19,925 --> 01:16:23,028
starting a new base lost nine soldiers

1021
01:16:23,029 --> 01:16:27,444
and had an additional twelve US wounded

1022
01:16:27,445 --> 01:16:30,324
and an thirteen additional ANA
that were wounded.

1023
01:16:33,685 --> 01:16:35,635
Hey, is this everybody?

1024
01:16:35,636 --> 01:16:37,268
We got the Mortars?
We got Second Platoon?

1025
01:16:39,957 --> 01:16:43,603
Okay, hey, listen up.

1026
01:16:43,604 --> 01:16:45,876
I'm going to talk to you guys
a little bit about

1027
01:16:45,877 --> 01:16:49,715
some of what happened
up with Chosen Company.

1028
01:16:49,716 --> 01:16:51,828
I want you guys to mourn,

1029
01:16:51,829 --> 01:16:54,771
and then I want you guys
to get over it and do your jobs.

1030
01:16:54,772 --> 01:16:56,628
Okay?

1031
01:16:56,629 --> 01:16:58,740
First..Hey, Proctor,
why did you come in the army, man?

1032
01:17:00,181 --> 01:17:01,428
To fight for my country, sir.

1033
01:17:01,429 --> 01:17:02,932
- To fight for your country?
- Roger, sir.

1034
01:17:02,933 --> 01:17:05,043
Did you expect that
you might get injured or die?

1035
01:17:05,044 --> 01:17:06,228
Absolutely, sir.

1036
01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:08,531
Anybody join not knowing that
that might be an option?

1037
01:17:10,132 --> 01:17:14,548
We lose PFC Vimoto on June 5th, 2007.

1038
01:17:14,549 --> 01:17:17,076
What happens the very next day
after that, Sergeant Buno?

1039
01:17:17,077 --> 01:17:21,268
We go out on patrols,
we get attacked again.

1040
01:17:21,269 --> 01:17:23,379
Right.

1041
01:17:23,380 --> 01:17:26,259
July 22nd, we lose Restrepo, right?

1042
01:17:28,181 --> 01:17:29,939
What do we keep on doing after that?

1043
01:17:29,940 --> 01:17:30,995
Fighting.

1044
01:17:30,996 --> 01:17:33,171
We keep on fighting
and taking it to the enemy, right?

1045
01:17:33,172 --> 01:17:36,404
What do you guys think would have
happened if we had just stopped at Vimoto

1046
01:17:36,405 --> 01:17:38,836
and acted like
our predecessors before us

1047
01:17:38,837 --> 01:17:41,041
and we stood our ground there,

1048
01:17:41,076 --> 01:17:43,380
didn't go out there doing
our aggressive patrolling,

1049
01:17:43,381 --> 01:17:45,524
didn't go out there
and build OP Restrepo,

1050
01:17:45,525 --> 01:17:48,147
which I think we'll all venture to say,

1051
01:17:48,148 --> 01:17:51,540
like, pretty much changed the entire
dynamics of the entire valley?

1052
01:17:53,749 --> 01:17:55,155
You guys know what
would have happened?

1053
01:17:55,156 --> 01:17:57,876
The same shit that happened
today up at Chosen Company.

1054
01:17:57,877 --> 01:17:59,603
Now with Chosen Company,

1055
01:17:59,604 --> 01:18:02,260
they went into an area that they
knew was going to be contested.

1056
01:18:02,261 --> 01:18:04,212
They knew what they were getting into.

1057
01:18:04,213 --> 01:18:09,044
They've been talking about
going to Wanat since July of 2007.

1058
01:18:09,045 --> 01:18:11,572
We went there, they did it.

1059
01:18:11,573 --> 01:18:13,203
The fucking only way to bounce back

1060
01:18:13,204 --> 01:18:15,028
from shit like this is to go out there

1061
01:18:15,029 --> 01:18:17,235
and make the individuals
that did this to us fucking pay.

1062
01:18:19,029 --> 01:18:21,652
It's not to sit back here and hide.

1063
01:18:21,653 --> 01:18:23,763
It's not to go back down
to our fucking rucks

1064
01:18:23,764 --> 01:18:25,492
and fucking feel sorry for ourselves

1065
01:18:25,493 --> 01:18:27,028
and get snuggled up in our woobie.

1066
01:18:28,308 --> 01:18:30,164
We go out there, we find
the motherfuckers that did this

1067
01:18:30,165 --> 01:18:31,187
and we make them pay.

1068
01:18:31,188 --> 01:18:33,172
We make them feel
how we feel right now.

1069
01:18:35,957 --> 01:18:37,460
For those of you guys that pray,

1070
01:18:37,461 --> 01:18:42,868
let's go ahead and take
a moment of silence in..

1071
01:18:42,869 --> 01:18:44,500
in remembrance the ten..

1072
01:18:44,501 --> 01:18:46,612
ten to nine soldiers that we lost today

1073
01:18:46,613 --> 01:18:48,724
and the families of them

1074
01:18:48,725 --> 01:18:51,829
and the families
of those that were hurt,

1075
01:18:51,864 --> 01:18:53,300
and then I'll let you guys go ahead

1076
01:18:53,301 --> 01:18:54,772
and get about your business.

1077
01:19:21,205 --> 01:19:22,452
Get down.

1078
01:19:45,397 --> 01:19:46,963
Oh, wow, you can't see shit now.

1079
01:19:49,942 --> 01:19:52,436
Hey, can I shoot Sergeant Mac?
I'm I'm going to fucking get him.

1080
01:19:52,437 --> 01:19:53,588
- Can I shoot?
- Wait till he engages.

1081
01:19:53,589 --> 01:19:55,860
Wait till he engages,
then fucking fucking get him.

1082
01:19:59,381 --> 01:20:00,468
There he goes.

1083
01:20:05,204 --> 01:20:06,612
Low right, low right!

1084
01:20:06,613 --> 01:20:07,573
Low right!

1085
01:20:11,477 --> 01:20:13,268
- Hey, that motherfucker's done.
- Is he?

1086
01:20:16,149 --> 01:20:17,972
Hey, Olson, he's done.

1087
01:20:20,021 --> 01:20:21,044
Yeah!

1088
01:20:21,045 --> 01:20:23,732
A direct hit on that dude.

1089
01:20:23,733 --> 01:20:25,172
That motherfucker's done, man!

1090
01:20:25,173 --> 01:20:27,348
That motherfucker's done, dude!

1091
01:20:27,349 --> 01:20:28,884
Fuck you, bitches!

1092
01:20:28,885 --> 01:20:30,005
Body parts falling apart.

1093
01:20:30,006 --> 01:20:31,540
The L-Ras, dude,

1094
01:20:31,541 --> 01:20:35,092
it was him running
and then him blasting into pieces.

1095
01:20:35,093 --> 01:20:37,044
- Yeah?
- Yeah, dude.

1096
01:20:37,045 --> 01:20:39,668
There you go, motherfucker,
shoot at us again.

1097
01:20:43,157 --> 01:20:46,740
By the end, like I was..

1098
01:20:46,741 --> 01:20:49,428
I really didn't want to get overrun.

1099
01:20:50,485 --> 01:20:54,772
But I just wish they were closer

1100
01:20:54,773 --> 01:20:57,876
so I could have actually seen them
when I killed them.

1101
01:21:01,909 --> 01:21:03,540
626 perstat,

1102
01:21:03,541 --> 01:21:06,069
I have twenty Restrepo.

1103
01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:08,372
The only question I have is tonight,

1104
01:21:08,373 --> 01:21:12,276
are we going to be doing
an illum round for Doc Restrepo?

1105
01:21:12,277 --> 01:21:13,875
Today's twenty two July.

1106
01:21:13,876 --> 01:21:16,020
Over.

1107
01:21:16,021 --> 01:21:18,260
Yeah, we're planning
on doing the illum round.

1108
01:21:20,470 --> 01:21:23,988
One last thing, seventeen tonight

1109
01:21:23,989 --> 01:21:26,068
they're shooting for Doc Restrepo.

1110
01:21:26,069 --> 01:21:27,797
Seventeen tonight.

1111
01:21:29,141 --> 01:21:31,445
He's fucking a little bit drunk.

1112
01:21:31,446 --> 01:21:33,524
I'm fucking..
I'm a little bit drunk at this point.

1113
01:21:33,525 --> 01:21:34,996
And I see him..

1114
01:21:34,997 --> 01:21:37,620
I see him just eyeing everyone up,
just like this.

1115
01:21:37,621 --> 01:21:38,965
Who is that, Kim?

1116
01:21:38,966 --> 01:21:40,916
No, Restrepo.

1117
01:21:40,917 --> 01:21:42,164
Eyeing everyone up.

1118
01:21:42,165 --> 01:21:43,604
I come up to him
and I'm like, "What's wrong, bro?"

1119
01:21:43,605 --> 01:21:44,852
He's like, "Yo, bro",

1120
01:21:44,853 --> 01:21:46,804
I'm going to stab these fools, yo."

1121
01:21:46,805 --> 01:21:48,628
I'm like, I see it in his hand.

1122
01:21:48,629 --> 01:21:51,092
He's got the fucking Gerber
out with the knife out,

1123
01:21:51,093 --> 01:21:54,036
fucking closed up, just ready
to fucking shank someone, dude.

1124
01:21:54,071 --> 01:21:57,204
I'm like..and this is
after the night before

1125
01:21:57,205 --> 01:22:02,421
we ended up down in the fucking
the steps of Rome fucking train station,

1126
01:22:02,422 --> 01:22:05,780
and I was peeing, in my pants.

1127
01:22:12,821 --> 01:22:15,764
What we did to mark
the anniversary of our dead,

1128
01:22:15,765 --> 01:22:17,236
we shot off flares,

1129
01:22:17,237 --> 01:22:20,949
and where Restrepo died,
we shot off flares.

1130
01:22:26,165 --> 01:22:28,821
You know, and kind of raise one up.

1131
01:22:28,822 --> 01:22:31,636
Say a prayer,
say a few words in your head

1132
01:22:31,637 --> 01:22:33,460
and you move on.

1133
01:23:58,549 --> 01:24:01,172
Did my last patrol hopefully.

1134
01:24:01,173 --> 01:24:03,189
Hopefully I don't get called
back out for something.

1135
01:24:05,365 --> 01:24:06,997
Fly out of here in a few days.

1136
01:24:08,470 --> 01:24:11,636
It's kind of strange thinking you'll never
come back to OP Restrepo again.

1137
01:24:11,637 --> 01:24:13,396
Yeah.

1138
01:24:13,397 --> 01:24:14,932
It's a good feeling, though.

1139
01:24:14,933 --> 01:24:17,685
It's been a long fucking
deployment right there.

1140
01:24:19,190 --> 01:24:21,557
Leaving Restrepo?

1141
01:24:21,558 --> 01:24:23,733
It's too good to be true, you know?

1142
01:24:23,734 --> 01:24:26,421
We're going to die here.
Isn't that right, Henry?

1143
01:24:26,422 --> 01:24:28,437
- Roger, Sergeant.
- But we're leaving instead.

1144
01:24:28,438 --> 01:24:31,157
God's going to fuck with our emotions

1145
01:24:31,158 --> 01:24:32,629
and kill us on the bird out.

1146
01:24:34,742 --> 01:24:38,548
I'm never coming back,
never coming back.

1147
01:24:40,117 --> 01:24:41,717
It's time to go.

1148
01:24:46,358 --> 01:24:47,764
That's heavy.

1149
01:24:53,109 --> 01:24:54,868
Goodbye, OP Restrepo.

1150
01:24:56,886 --> 01:24:58,612
I'm never going to have
to be here again.

1151
01:25:02,069 --> 01:25:05,588
Not that I didn't enjoy my time here,

1152
01:25:05,589 --> 01:25:07,381
but it's time to move on.

1153
01:25:13,781 --> 01:25:15,861
- Yes!
- See you later.

1154
01:25:18,198 --> 01:25:20,244
The high point for us was going home.

1155
01:25:20,245 --> 01:25:22,165
Getting out of there.

1156
01:25:22,166 --> 01:25:24,949
Going home, seriously.
No doubt about it.

1157
01:25:24,950 --> 01:25:28,276
Each one of my soldiers' face,
you can tell, going home.

1158
01:25:30,901 --> 01:25:32,308
We done our job.

1159
01:25:32,309 --> 01:25:34,292
We did what we were supposed
to have been doing

1160
01:25:34,293 --> 01:25:35,733
and we out of here.

1161
01:25:45,109 --> 01:25:48,149
The Korengal, as far as..
What did we we achieve?

1162
01:25:48,150 --> 01:25:50,325
I'm always going
to think about Restrepo.

1163
01:25:50,326 --> 01:25:55,733
Building Restrepo was the single
most important event

1164
01:25:55,734 --> 01:25:58,293
for the Korengal.

1165
01:25:58,294 --> 01:26:01,234
And how..

1166
01:26:01,269 --> 01:26:02,645
how the boys did it.

1167
01:26:02,646 --> 01:26:03,604
Fighting.

1168
01:26:05,334 --> 01:26:07,349
And then turning around
and going back to working.

1169
01:26:20,054 --> 01:26:22,325
It makes us proud
when we see the news..

1170
01:26:22,326 --> 01:26:24,629
they still call it Restrepo..

1171
01:26:24,630 --> 01:26:26,293
knowing that, you know,

1172
01:26:26,294 --> 01:26:28,468
we painted it on the walls,
this is for Doc Restrepo.

1173
01:26:28,469 --> 01:26:31,413
The name fit the place after a while,

1174
01:26:31,414 --> 01:26:33,970
after it became built up,

1175
01:26:34,005 --> 01:26:36,340
after it became a better place.

1176
01:26:36,341 --> 01:26:38,837
But when I hear Restrepo,

1177
01:26:38,838 --> 01:26:41,621
I still think of the person.

1178
01:26:41,622 --> 01:26:44,501
You can't..You can't tame the beast.

1179
01:26:45,558 --> 01:26:47,221
You know?

1180
01:26:47,222 --> 01:26:48,821
Got him.

1181
01:26:48,822 --> 01:26:50,676
Yeah, he got him. He got him.

1182
01:26:50,677 --> 01:26:51,925
He did get him.

1183
01:26:51,926 --> 01:26:53,173
Hey, Lex, what's going on tonight?

1184
01:26:53,174 --> 01:26:55,124
Just tell us.
Break it down, break it down.

1185
01:26:55,125 --> 01:26:56,405
All I want to do

1186
01:26:56,406 --> 01:26:58,325
is find a miniature zebra,

1187
01:26:58,326 --> 01:27:00,853
put a little tiny saddle
on it and ride it.

1188
01:27:01,845 --> 01:27:03,349
There ain't no zebras on the pub crawl.

1189
01:27:03,350 --> 01:27:06,421
I didn't..miniature zebras.

1190
01:27:06,422 --> 01:27:10,101
My bad, there are miniature zebras.
What the fuck?

1191
01:27:10,102 --> 01:27:12,148
Let's say goodbye,
let's say goodbye.

1192
01:27:12,149 --> 01:27:15,093
Hey, tune in next time where
we're going to be still drunk as fuck.

1193
01:27:15,094 --> 01:27:16,596
Saying goodnight
to the bad guy, man.

1194
01:27:16,597 --> 01:27:18,517
The same time,
the same dope rhyme,

1195
01:27:18,518 --> 01:27:20,917
because we're going
to be still loving life

1196
01:27:20,918 --> 01:27:22,741
and getting ready to go to war.

1197
01:29:28,790 --> 01:29:30,581
Here or hea?

1198
01:29:30,582 --> 01:29:32,502
H-E-A. Hea.

1199
01:29:33,814 --> 01:29:36,182
"O'Byrne wuz hea."

1200
01:29:36,183 --> 01:29:37,205
That's how we roll.

1201
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:41,800
