I can't imagine all the things marcus goes through everyday after that mission.. Hell be in my prayers
My son served in Afghanistan. Australian Army, he has had the " 1000 yard stare " years after serving. My respect for Marcus is boundless.
Been on this planet for 18 yrs and I finally have someone I can look up to (and my pops) Marcus is a good guy.
No he lied about almost everything
@@Epic11121 Nah, you're just a jealous, butt hurt wanna be....a fan boy blow hard of epic proportions.
Old Marcus doesn't even flinch when he mentions having a cold. Love those frogs. God bless our military and the USA. Thank you Lord
why would he?
I really feel for Marcus, I can't even imagine what he experienced; especially when it came to the loss of his brothers. Glad they used Mark Wahlberg and the following cast for this type of movie, they are guys that want to get the story right
I just finished this book on Christmas Eve. It is with out doubt one of the most gripping, heart wrenching inspiring book I have ever laid eyes on. We shoudl all be as lucky as Mr. Luttrell to have people who we are that close to and woudl stand by us in such extreme circumstances. God Bless the Luttrell Family and all our heros in uniform.
YUP, and the book is far better then the movie IN my opinion.. You should read His other Book SERVICE Great one as well
god i love mark wahlberg since shooter
Me too, he plays those parts so well.
shooter was a great movie, i hope transformers 4 is good
Same here
I read about Marcus Luttrell back in 08 in Counter Terrorism and must say i didn't belive that i would ever see this as a movie, but any way all those guys Serving in any armed forces deployed around the world deserves Respect from all they meet.
I love seeing the respect Mark and Peter are giving Marcus by the way they acknowledge and talk to/about him.
The movie was fucking awesome.
shut the fuck up josh
Marcus Luttrell has a lot of respect he starts with sir and ends with sir :)
i think Marcus is kind of tired of people talking about the mission, as he say'd in another interview that he is living with it everyday and everybody he meets they always want to talk about the mission, and not about hunting and fishing and other normal stuff, but i don't know.
I'd get tired of lying about it too. Hard to remember all those details when they change from paid speech to paid speech.
@@ellea3344 - yea? Really Stacy? how about you tell us your stories about how you’ve done anything admirable at all? Please enlighten us on how you fought for your country
@@ellea3344 yeah because the most thorough investigation in the entire military is for the awarding of the Congressional Medal of Honor and the investigation to award the Navy Cross is just as thorough. So you continue to believe the reporters who write the stories and men like this will fight and die for the rights of those same reporters. Or better yet why don't you move to Afghanistan so you can have the opportunity to understand what the price of freedom cost.
Thank you for your service Mr. Luttrell, the nation owes you great deal of gratitude. I am a Airborne vet, and had a number of tours, but nothing close to you. Much respect.
PTSD---see it in his eyes. Both of my Sons served in combat in some of the worst battles. One was blown up & wounded severely---both came home with PTSD--the severely wounded also had severe PTSD. I think everyone that seved/serves over there--even in noncombat service comes home with PTSD---it's just not always diagnosed & our Vets have to live with that.
God bless you my friend and your sons. I was in 1/37 Armor and we didn't leave anything alive. The toll on your mind is incredible. To watch a human being obliterate before your eyes never leaves you. Your sons are in my prayers. When they need to talk, be the great father that you are and just listen. Sometimes all we want is just for someone to listen.
Mark Forquer Thank you from both of my Sons & me, their mama! They both signed up together (they were a year apart in age) for The Army when 9/11 hit. My oldest Son was sniper & gunner on the Humvee in 10th Mt. Div. in The Battle of Fallujah. Prior to that battle, his outfit were in numerous firefights & lost so many buddies. He told me that more than once, he had to squeeze the femoral artery till aid was administered & also had to shove his finger into a deep bullet wound, etc., etc. Contributing to the severe PTSD, when my Son was hit, the vehicle in front of their Humvee was blown up by an IED---carrying a family of IRAQI Father, 9-month pregnant Mother, + 5 small children. The blast obliterated them, & blew up the Humvee where my Son was gunner. He took massive wounds, etc. leaving him 100% disable After an 8 year battle surviving with his wounds, inc. PTSD & TBI, he was doing very, very well. Then the week before Christmas 2012, he went to the Dallas VA dr. Walking home from the VA, he passed out & parameds couldn't revive him. Cause of death: "Complications due to combat wounds." My other Son was 1st a Cav Scout (172nd Stryker), then SF. He deployed a few months later than my oldest Son. He was a sniper, etc. & did 4.5 combat deployments in Iraq. Wounded 4x---lost many guys in his outfits. Before he got out of the Army, he was recruited by a Texas city police dept. in SWAT & Narco. THANK YOU, MARK for your GREAT service---I SO APPRECIATE YOU!
❤🙏to you Mom
Absolutely! And for God’s sake, can we get lifelong medical assistance and insurance for vets? The work they do for us shouldn’t require them to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that whatever maladies they may come back with were caused from being deployed or from their time serving. It’s shameful, the things we have put many of them through. How did we not learn anything from Vietnam about veterans (I could go further and say “how did we not learn to also only go to war as an absolute last-resort”). The amount of funding the military receives should make it very easy to give them all the help they need (mental and physical). The “burn pit” thing irritates me too, because they could have basically made landfills but that costs a little more, and the decision makers apparently would rather have spent that “extra” money on finding and eliminating enemies… and how did that work out? The Romans had the best military industrial complex for their time because they basically were able to erect and then move an entire town that was used as their base when on deployment, so we would do well to be sure everything is in order and properly done before ever going out into the field. If we can’t even dispose of our garbage without poisoning the air, the ground, and by extension any ground water in the area, we have no business exposing our military personnel. It’s fucking sickening.
The Battle on the Mountain was really outstanding.
Peter Berg did a fabulous job with some really very tight editing.
I bet Marcus wakes up from his sleep like Wolverine from X-men. I feel sorry for any soul getting out of the shower at his house with a towel around their heads.... its game on.
LOL
Great movie, fantastic book, and an amazing story! Much respect!
That interview Rocked. Luttrell comes across with great charisma something about that guy, I'm in awe of him in the same way I was of Chris Kyle. Kyle is with God and I hope I see him someday...
Both Luttrell and Kyle made up stories or embellished them for personal gain and fame. The difference between the two is that Luttrell abandon the man that saved his life. So much for being "Silent Professionals". Birds of a feather flock together.
Fuck you and your trolling Marcus you are not even an American why should you even have a say in what happens with our Special Forces???
Stacey E, you fucking idiot why don't you walk up to a Navy Seal and say that big man. Your a big mouth liberal BLM supporter whose been sucking his thumb while we Vets have skin in the game. So shut your fucking mouth!
No, they were directed at Stacy E the Canadian Marcus hating lying fucking bitch!!! She's on every single post about an American hero bashing him and calling him a liar. I was in the military 23 years and I know for a fact After Action Reports have to be filled out by the warriors as well as their superior officers about every single battle and contact with the enemy. Any shot taken has to be accounted for! She said they found no dead Taliban soldiers on top of the mountain Marcus and his fallen brothers had the 3 1/2 hour battle with? Of course, they drug off their fallen to bury just like we don't leave any man behind! If you read her replies she doesn't even live in our country! Ignore the cunt!!!
Loved how Marcus Luttrell Says Yes sir at the beginning :)
Thats how we Texans are raised, its normal here.
Sad to see Marcus only got a few questions... He's the reason they're sitting there, basically. And the one who can answer most questions.
I wanted this "Interview" to never end!
I love Peter Berg .... sweet and sensible, very smart and creative man
So thankful for our excellent fighting men. They are titans, both in character, and in ability.
Was in the Airborne served 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and yea Ive seen some terrible stuff as well and I being from Texas like Mr. Luttrell makes my chest pushed out just a little bit further with pride. Both Chris Kyle and Marcus Luttrell being from Texas tells you a little something about Texans. This movie was done right and showed what its like out there and unfortunately what its like to lose your friends and to go through being left alone like that and back broken I think I would have broken way before Mr. Luttrell. God Bless Texas.
Fantastic interview. I've never enjoyed one more. Thank you all for making this film. Especially the Pashtunwali part.
I have to go see this movie!
This is an excellent, very well-made & well-translated movie. I saw it 3x. Thanks Marcus Latrell for all you've done for our Country--& for Berg, Walberg, & ALL the guys for making this story realistic. THANK YOU, MARCUS FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
you can tell that marcus has seen some shit
absolutely,he is the lone survivor after all and this movie does a respectful job of portaying that.
andrew makatsaria agreed, it annoys me when people say that its just a propaganda movie for stupid americans, and those people couldn't be soooo wrong!
Frasier Bell I think if it were a propaganda movie, the four seals would have killed all the Taliban, and Marcus' Afghani friend would not have been represented in the film at all. Whenever someone says it's a propaganda film I just say to them "Yes, join the SEALs, get tied up in a political correct and moral debate with your friends and yourself, watch your best friends die, get shot repeatedly! SOUNDS LIKE FUN, RIGHT?" Some people are just stupid.
okay i am going to tell you what i was thinking:i just loved this movie after i saw it and wanted to see the interviews of how it was made,when i posted that comment i wasn't expecting thee people to react that way,i didn't want to touch on propaganda or some other bullshit,the movie just made feel what those characters felt on that mountain,and the fact that only marcus survived,and had to live with the loss of his friends and terrible pain,that is not a propaganda movie no,propaganda is what you said right there,so just enjoy the movie as it is .
I am a US Marine and I have seen some crazy shit myself, not talk about it much, but if you see me and talk to me you would have a great time, I am happy and love to party, it must be the Marine training since we really do not give a flying fuck about anything...
I would be afraid to say wrong thing in front of Marcus. He is super cool and a real deal though.
Part of one comment from Peter Berg momentarily stunned me: "..cultivate concepts that seem so foreign to us like patriotism...."Huh?? Who did he mean by "us"? Patriotism is certainly not a foreign concept to the vast majority of Americans. On the contrary, it is a clear understanding & profound appreciation for our unique and precious American inheritance of individual liberty & freedom. I think he misspoke. This was a powerfully moving film. Thanks and God's blessing to all members, living & deceased, of our mighty armed forces.
Yeah, I think he misspoke.
Nearly fell out of my chair when I heard him say that. Then I realized that he is associated with Hellywood. 'Nuff said!
I watched the the movie and and this interview and the making of the lone survivor. He is a hero and the pashtun people that saved him and wanted to bring the father and son which he did . Barry shulman.
Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg in the room and Marcus Luttrell is still the most entertaining one. Salute to you Mr Luttrell and all those who were lost on that mountain!
God bless you, Marcus, and god bless Texas
Mark Wahlberg did an excellent performance of Marcus Luttrell :)
For the people complaining that some of the parts from the book and other things were changed etc. it's because the gunfight on the mountain alone was about three hours long is what marcus said and he was out there for about 5-6 days and a lot happened to him that one week i saw an interview where he said that he even left some stuff out of the book due to classification reasons and the book goes into great detail about that day as well as other missions that they four had done before operation redwings so to try and cram all that into a movie would be super expensive and the movie would probably end up being over four hours and yeah there were parts in the movie that didn't happen but it was still an awesome movie and i think it still does a good job of telling their story.
According to the villagers who could hear the gun fire, the fight was short lived. Marcus was protected by those villagers, and he abandon the man that saved him and doesn't even speak of him anymore. He said there were 80-200 taliban, which is a far cry from 8-10. He said he crawled 7 miles when it's around 1 mile from the observation point to the village. It is definitely a Hollywood story, both the book and the movie.
You're going to believe a bunch of villagers over one of our own? Not to say those villagers arent good people, but how would they know how many taliban were up there? I'm sure it wasn't just one huge gunfight either. They fell off cliffs, got into gunfight. There would be a pause and then another gunfight...so on and so forth. After what these guys went through I'm sure memories are foggy. Talk about traumatizing!
Replying to cricket chirp: also, a “gunfight” isn’t only when there are rounds being fired. Some of it entails moving positions, gathering intel if possible, trying to assess the situation and developing plans, etc (when possible), so even if the villagers only heard sporadic gunfire, that doesn’t mean shit. They could still both be engaged if there aren’t rounds being fired constantly. Especially in terms of Marcus, who was undoubtedly trying to conserve ammunition in case he was stuck there for a long time. I’m not saying every single thing was perfectly accurate in the movie (it is a movie) but I’m not going to believe some bystander that happens to be adjacent to the event(s) who may or may not know anything about military tactics over someone whose story has been verified as true for like 95% of it (not all things CAN be verified). If he was lying or embellishing much, they would have probably been able to prove it based on other details he provided.
these guys are blowhards while the true bad-ass that inspired all of this looks bored out of his mind. classic
Well, yeah...one is a Navy SEAL and the others...aren't.
Sounds like you got some experience in the hard blowing department.
How does he ask THE ACTORS how training affects them in dangerous situations?????? Ask Marcus those questions. Am I missing something? Are we still on earf?
😅
🤣
You are correct. It's dumb thinking. The soldiers matter - not the actors !
Being a frontline soldier for over 20 years every military themed movie I watch I look at is a real situation that I had been in. This movie is by far the most realistic movie I have ever seen and for the team of SEALs to put their true story pays a massive tribute to all those soldiers that lose their lives fighting for our country. My thoughts and prayers go out to the team and every man and woman that have payed the ultimate sacrifice for our country RIP
Love these guys
Marcus and his Brother Morgan epitomize Integrity Valor and Service. I love our Armed Forces. I'm a Vet myself I get it.
Well said, they both knew from the womb they were going to be special ops! They just dod
I've never cried in a movie before. not because I think I'm too tough but because I've never come to a point where I've just lost my emotions. I cried tonight as I watched the end slide show of the lost soldiers and their families, and I know that my words mean nothing compared to anyone involved in this movie, but from myself and everyone else in the theatre tonight, thank you for slightly opening our eyes to what you go through everyday. I'm praying for you, Marcus. I'm praying for your family/ marriage, and I'm praying for the loved ones of the ones you loved and lost, in Jesus' name. You're humbleness will always blind you from the acknowledgment of your HEROIC actions. God bless you Mr. Luttrell; you're a blessing to our nation. -Tyler Ledbetter
Cant wait to see the movie...
Mark wahlberg is pretty awesome
Finally got to see the movie and also read up on the story - the compassion that the men showed by following their rules of engagement and allowing non combatants to go free and this finally leading to their deaths was worthy of everyone's respect. The fire fight that followed and the way the men fought for each other brought a tear to me eye, such an amazing story and well done to all those involved in telling the story...
I recommend you read a little more, and ask yourself why Marcus abandon the man that saved his life.
It has bin a very long time since I listen to this I watch the movie again the other day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great intense movie!! Very inspirational!
Great film, glad at least one of them lived to tell the tale.
Great group of guys speaking.
It would be nice if thy let Marcus Luttrrell speak morenandnactually hear more of his first
Person account
Read the book
It was nice to see Marcus smile a little.
well done...open .. can not imagine
Great stuff.
mark DID AN EXCELLENT JOB
1 of my favourite films of all time
R.I.P to all his brothers who died and fought by his side and wot a true survivor Marcus is. Wot he went through then to go back and fight you are a true legend
At least Mark Wahlberg admits he isn't the same as Marcus.
And didn't notice till I watched it second time round that I noticed Marcus lol what a guy!
How the hell are there 8 dislikes!?
taliban? and they couldn't watch it on tv? why? because of the "telly ban:
DannyArcher1983
LOL, nicely done...
Love it Danny!!
I spent 23 yrs in the US Army. The dislikes are because its a lousy interview for such an awsome situation. The moderator needs to learn how to interview and ask the right questions. You only get one shot and he didn't do a very good job.
*****
I'm a Liberal and I respect this man so FUCK YOU!
I've watched many of these interviews with Marcus Luttrell and this interviewer by far is the best and most respectful. He did the best job I've seen over other interviewers asking the stupidest and most insensitive questions.
Really really good movie
My two favorite Army movies I guess you would say has to be Lone Survivor and American Sniper. Also I just watched Lone Survivor
God bless every seal, army person, and great servicemen. There is a special place among our hearts and spciety amd definitly heaven for these extraordinary men and women who show us anything is possible even at our worst or best.
Bravo Marc 👏👍🏆 and so much respect Marcus 🙏❤
this seems like a movie that should have came out on july 4th
Yea then the Left would be screaming louder then they already are that its a propaganda film. The Left will be the ruin of this country.
Marcus is a big dude.
6'5" 275 pounds!
Most seals are bud.
Lutrell big guy!
Where is Ben Foster? To me his moments make this film
I totally agree.
diodeladder New favorite actor
Ben Foster is amazing, but a little on the peculiar side. He doesn't like interviews.
WickedMo13
Absolutely..!
I Am The Reaper... Still gives me goosebumps.
Ben Foster is such a phenomenal actor and I don’t think he’s done a bad roll. There are some better than others but he always seems to steal the spotlight any time he ends up on screen.
Still can't watch Murphy, Dietz and Axleson die.. have yet to watch that part! Years later... still can't!
I loved battleship.. especially the WW2 vets that played themselves ❤❤❤😊
great movie
Love Marcus..héroe..👍👍😘😘💖💝👌😍🇨🇱💞🇨🇱💕🇨🇱😘😘😍
We need to start go fund me to get them more microphones.
iv been a fan since i seen the movie italian job
Boogie Nights and The Fighter kick ass by the way
After watching the movie I thought about the 3 options presented on the mountain. I was left wondering why one of the options wasn't "let's keep the civilians with us" (walk up the mountain together) until the seals were extracted? And then and only then let them go. I think things might have had a much better outcome for everyone?
Well when the herders (or whatever) were “caught”, if they didn’t return in a reasonable amount of time, it’s likely to assume that someone would have notified the enemies that people were missing, and where they were likely to have been when abducted/possibly killed, which means enemies would have gone looking for them, most likely. It’s the same kinda reason why they couldn’t just kill them (although killing them is also terribly dishonorable, but it also didn’t even provide a reasonable solution had they killed them). The only real chance they had once the shepherds saw them was to hope they didn’t tell the enemies. Either way, once they were seen, there was a clock that started ticking and time was not on their side, regardless of what they did about it (short of having a Men in Black memory zapper).
My best movie
I just saw the movie today.
I liked the movie like most people.
Sadly, 3 hours is really not enough to tell their story.
An HBO 5-episode series would have been better .
But, that's just how the Hollywood business goes.
THANK YOU MARK FOR LETTING MARUS BE REAL!!!
I figure I have to see the movie to hear and learn the story of operation red wings and appreciate then uncommon valor which in the military is set as the standard.
SirgalaED you gotta read no easy day
Marcus looks like he's a very humble man who rather listen than speak..
I second Bergs statement about Foster being the next DDL
Hey I seen two of them from this one hbo show 🤔
I love to watch that fuckin movie. and Marky u did a good fuckin actin man. U guys really were.x
"the STAR Mark Whalberg. And the man who's life this was based on, Marcus Luttrell." -________- lame intro bro
OUCH
Go make me a sandwich 🥪
That's what I love about mark. Love real life movies . He's a genious
i only just realised after watching it again marcus was in it
Mesut Ozil where at??
He actually died in the movie as well
I hate it when people say that Marcus is a liar!! And it didn't really happen like he said, Marcus is a hero, R.I.P to his brother's 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He ran.
Watch the actual ambush video. You can hear the other SEALs yelling at Marcus to "come back!" and " help Marcus, help!"
Its a pretty disturbing video.
He was also found with all his magazines still full of ammo that he came with. He lied about claiming Axelson was alive for two week in which he later apologized and said he "misspoke" - you can't "misspoke" about something like that.
Im a veteran myself and IMO - there is nothing wrong for people to question "what really happened". All we want is the truth and Marcus has lied on so many accounts including the number of fighters they were up against - which was only 8 and not 100. He didnt have a broken back or pelvis - another lie. He was found with one gunshot wound to the butt - probably because he was running away. The rangers questioned him and were infuriated that he had no idea as far as geography and landscape when it comes to last seeing his teammates. He didnt even know his own patrol route.
The ambush video itself is the actual source for the truth on what happened. The movie and book are nothing more than exaggerations and war propaganda. Truth is, it was a terrible mission that every SOF in that area turned down. It wasn't even taliban. Shah was a rich warlord - thats it. They tracked the SEALs down because the HELOs woke everyone up in the village that night and the militia found the fast rope that was dropped from the HELO itself early the next morning - HUGE MISTAKE! They tracked their footprints and already spotted them while talking with the goat herders. They waited until after the herders left and thats when they attacked - it was within minutes after letting them go.
The ambush lasted about 45 mins but it was the first minute that hit them the hardest with it being Murphy and Dietz mortally wounded and struggling to fight. The fighters were even yelling at them in english and trying to get them to surrender.
Just a totally bad OP with high risk and little reward.
Fact is that Luttrell is now a millionaire off of his fictional accounts and his buddies are dead. Him becoming a millionaire off the backs of his fallen brothers is disgraceful.
Forget the movie and the book. If you wanna know what really happened, just watch the video and read Victory Point. It goes through the failures of planning and the AARs that followed suit.
Its an eye opener to what really happened and there is no bias narrative.
@@sc12100 got a source for any of this bullshit? I've seen the videos and you can't hear anyone yelling anything.

ENJOY!
Did you notice the PTSD dog (Lab?) with Marcus? Was this the same dog that was shot and killed by some low life trespassers on his Texas property? A good friend of mine has had a great ptsd k9 since the Beirut Bombing. Those dogs and the service they provide are over the top awesome!
Also letting people know any real active seals in a movie, the SEALS command SOCOM has the last word on the footage which exposes and real seals in a movie like the Movie Act of valor and also all war based movies either on truth or otherwise the pentagon has the last word on what happens and how much truth can be shown before the release of that movie ?
20:40-20:47, I find this moment kind of weird.
I feel like he was not kidding.
Yeap!
Lol. I find it funny.
sorry but at 11:30 when he's talking about the seals calling bs on anything they didn't think was right.....where were they when Axe pulled out a Beretta M9 and not a Sig P226?
Fair question. It's possible that Axe personally preferred the M9. Marcus would know that...he may have relayed it to Pete.
Fellow Human they all head M9's in the movie. In the book he specifically says they all carried P226's
+Kevin Doherty That's true. Hm.
Because Beretta payed them to use their firearms. Marcus obviously was okay with it
All seals carry sauers...
We have to give are us military and navy red seals for thier courage going on missions and pray for them .Barry Shulman
i still got doubt what truly happened with marcus & his team..only god knows what was really happened..
Of course, and maybe in the heat of battle, it's hard to remember exact details about everything. The mind starts to play tricks and before you know it, you can remember something one way when it happened somewhat differently. I have seen video of a dead Danny Dietz, and his right thumb was clearly not blown off, and appeared to be totally intact. I wasn't able to get a good look at his left hand to determine if that thumb was there or not, so it's possible that Marcus remembered that wrong. But, there is an example of him perhaps not remembering things exactly 100% accurately.
sofrep.com/55995/lone-survivor-uncovered-the-ambush-at-sawtalo-sar/
Yeah why believe the people who were there when there's google and youtube right? Fucking twat.
Met Marcus on duck dynasty taping and him and his wife r the real deal
You don't understand unless you've been there done that
Mark wahlberg massive inspiration
He got a new lab!
Tractors/yellow and red and several barns
the worst thing is that he was the one that made the call to not kill the 3 guys on the mountain. I respect him for his decision, but it resulted in the death of his friends.
Hindsight is always 20/20. I love it when people analyze events they were not present for. The only people that could ever have a say in what should have been done with those goat herds are the four men that where there. That's really the point isn't it? War is messy, its hard, and some times decisions have to been made on the spot. How do you weigh human life? How do you live with the choices you make? This is what people in the military are there for. Every one else needs to just stay the hell out of it. I could not tell you what I would have done. I was not there.
The Taliban would have come looking for them either way . If the goat herders don't come home they still get hunted.
It wasnt Mr. Luttrell who made the decision, he tells in interviews that while they where discussing it the LT made the decision. But you have to remember this was also when and even still today, the Left Wing and the rest of the World is saying "look at these Americans killing innocent people left and right" and soldiers where being prosecuted for it. So if they had of executed them they would have been brought up on charges.
Poor dasy
Boogie nights is mark wahlberg best movie
