I saw the helmet cam video on instagram. It's brutal and leaves lots of questions. Why didn't they have armor vehicles? Air cover? They were literally fighting on their own and with no support.
mindelo23 It's pretty common for unconventional troops to use whatever vehicles they can find to blend in. Especially when conventional forces are deployed there. Air support arrived 2 hours into the firefight. It was too late then. I'm more curious why they were equipped with only M4s. I figured a unit would have an SAW for enemy suppression
Originally the team was sent in to do recon which is why they were lightly equipped. However a change of plans had them in a different situation. They were ordered to look for a terrorist leader. However they never prepped for such a large enemy force. Btw most special forces teams don't normally carry LMG's unless there operation demands it.
Question : where is the white truck ? 8 vehicle at beginning (according to the narrator) , ambush started, 2 vehicle left behind, and at the final, just 1 vehicle still stuck at the ambush site???? Where the heck is everybody ( at the others 7 vehicle)??
Hassan Jawad yeah just like the ones from Benghazi right? It’s the same thing without the pointing the finger at the right person. This is trumps fault.
How are they brave ? They got ambushed! It was not like they went into a battlefield with the whole military. US soldiers thought themselves are superior but they are paper tiger
I still acknowledge the tactics used by these soldiers. They fought till their last breath even without any cover and sustainable measures to grant their lives. They really knew they were gonna die. And never been coward. I call the white vur which drove off as cowards and unprofessional tactical military standard. NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND, WE’LL DIE TOGETHER.
Warren Albuna he stayef with his squad till he was the last alive so emm he still stuck to the "we die together" the saying dosent mean yous all have to die it means if your gonna die atleast its better to die with your squad
No amount of training can prepare you for overwhelming odds like that, Just like Operation Red Wings, 4 seals were bested by 30+ troops. Axelson was so desperate and out of options that he attempted to bury himself in dirt hoping the Taliban would patrol by him. Kristensen was just killed by the initial overwhelming fire from the bad spot they were initially on on the top of the rock face. What I am getting at is there should be not outcry over their performances which I see from a few bad eggs on here. Special Forces are at their rightful apex of efficiency with support, this "advising" term we use nowadays in the middle east, Philippines and Africa needs to stop, a drone be within a 30 minute response range no matter where in the world, our troops deserve that and I will gladly pay the beautiful taxes to ensure we can do that for them. They were all men, one of them basically a kid, who fought and died, in a situation where supporting forces dropped the ball. Rest in peace men.
Yeah, how about no drones. Drones are how you turn a Nation against you and leads to serious war crimes and crimes against humanity. How about we just don't go into other countries and stop doing wars?
Ok! Then I will link you a video of american soldiers killing innocent civilians and laughing and celebrating afterwards they're dead. Or another one of a marine in a humvee displaying a water bottle to thirsty children making them run chasing the car while laughing at them, or thousands of children killed by american bombs or White Phosphorus which is a crime of war! Or American soldiers running over civilians in iraq with their humvees and shooting at them! Stop being so blind!
@@poopmcpoop3855 you can’t read? I said they were not brave.they were ambushed and had no choice but to fight the enemies. If they knew enemies forces were that large then they would have never gone there. The mission was initial classified as low risk. if it were high risk missions, then they would never have patrolling the area.
A True warriors death they lived fighting till the last breath with a tremendous amount of honor may these brave soldiers Rest In Peace and may their families find closure...
Regardless of how you feel about the US playing policemen all around the world these soldiers died fighting for you and many before them have paid in blood for this country.
Kyle Bullard How correct you are unfortunately some people just don't understand how these terrorist operate the spread like ants everywhere and the our policy is to stop further attacks against the USA and our allies fight the war there if not it will be in our country God bless these troops and there families and thank you for your comment.
Kyle Bullard i get your point, and where youre coming from, but they are not dying for me. They are dying for a senseless cause by a government who only cares about exploiting natural resources or turning countries into vessels for the U.S own gain. And that is even a sader reason to die for. So for that rest in piece, and may God have levrage towards their actions.
God bless their souls. They are gone but not forgotten. Sincere condolences goes out to their family and love ones. I pray for them every time I get a chance.
murdelabop Why? Did this happen over the course of 12 hours? Did this involve Special Forces having to protect State Department officials that didn't get the adequate protection they needed in the first place? Did the head of the State Department ignore them while the fought and died?
chaosXpert : Because you can bet that's what would have happened if this incident had happened during the Obama administration or under a Hillary Clinton administration.
murdelabop They criticize Trump's Administration for everything else, including hin eating chicken with a fork and possibly being afraid of stairs, what's stopping them from doing the same here? Nothing, unless there isn't anything to make a fuss about or there's more important things to attack him for.
chaosXpert : No, and it didn't involve a US ambassador leaving behind his military escort against the advice from his own staff, intentionally putting himself and his embassy beyond effective aid, and getting himself and his embassy killed. This incident was just American soldiers doing what soldiers do. Now, if one of them had been the son of a congressman then you could bet gold bars that Congress would be going nuts over it. But a Republican congress can't be seen questioning a Republican presidential administration.
Question. Couldn't they just get in the car and drive off? I'm just curious. I may be missing something idk honestly. Edit 2 years later: thanks for the info y’all, makes more sense now, i hope the soldier who died there rip.
They died under the never forgetting colors of the red, white and blue. True respects for those warriors fighting till the last of it. True heroes, words can't really describe the respect we have for those men, and a salute from Costa Rica. 🇺🇸♥🇨🇷
Hello, I am a former French soldier, saying that we refused our help to Americans is not only wrong but also unfair. Without us, your losses would have been greater !! The French have a long history in Africa because it was a part of their colonial empire, that's why we have a good experience of the field, and when I see the simulations of the ambush ..... I am totally surprised !! it's incredible !! all that was not to be done was done. 1) ignorance of the terrain, people, customs 2) mixed patrols, local, US, nested 3) no medium weapons, type 50 caliber, 20mm gun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, light armored vehicles, air support 4 ) which brings us to the deadliest of errors, underestimate the adversary, and despise his allies (the French) by not coordinating with them and not asking for their help and support BEFORE the mission, because in this case, a specific air support would have been made available as well as helicopters and reinforcements troops, whereas these means were mobilized elsewhere to support other missions to the neighboring mali where our army is implied 5) to call the rescue at the last moment , without the pilots of the mirages can make a distinction between friends and enemies, and ask rescue helicopters in the middle of this mess to evacuate the survivors and then say that the French are good for nothing? to see traitors? while these means were probably taken from French soldiers to rescue YOUR soldiers? 6) it's hard and tiring to be your "allies" especially when you know what you think of us .... and I think of my comrades dead in Afghanistan, while you empty our bottles of wine in your gutters because we did not want to go to Iraq for false reasons, to the lies of YOUR rulers that cost the lives of so many of YOUR soldiers ... 8) but the "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys" still came for your guys, despite everything ....
hello Ed Kim yes I think and I hope that's the case, because I have already met American soldiers and they are good guys. At the level of the soldiers on the ground, we obeys the orders, we are not responsible for the politicians who lead us. And, unfortunately, it is with OUR blood that they pay themselves THEIR mistakes and THEIR lies
I can just amagine if those soldiers had wife's and children I'm pretty sure they would have been thinking of them in their last few minutes of life RIP from Australia
Truly hope they never make a Hollyweird film out of this tragic story. And never forget these types of horrific events happen all the time in other countries and major cities in America. Military, everyday citizens, or Gangs you just never know.
Because of the massive uranium reserve found in the country ( nijer ) . This country is controlled by france . You can see the french army there. They have a military airport. French fighters launch airstrikes every day on mali against isis.
Both cars were probably told to disengage and catch up to the convoy. The militants obviously had the upper hand and were going to eventually flank them. Black car probably provided cover for White to get in and drive off. Then black car must have been under serious heavy fire and just couldn't get away. Keep in mind too that these soldiers had little to no combat experience and they had to deal with an Ambush alone.
Ladavid johnson was not a "green beret" he was attached to the 3rd special forces group as there mechanic. As shown by him wearing a red beret while the others were wearing green. He may have beed sfod-b or sfod-c which are logistics groups for special operations. The other 3 were all U.S. army special forces of the 3rd special forces group.
LaDavid was actually going to become a Green Beret. I was in Q course with him & he dreamed of being a Green Beret, he just got cycled out on his first attempt but was being give a chance to pass selection after he came back from this particular mission with 3rd group.
the strategy of Reverse attacked is awesome 😎 In ambushed we can't just hold and fight back there cause the enemy had always an advantage but sometimes it's depends on the environment of the place ..... RIP boys RESPECT
oh, you mean the isis militants they themselves have created in iraq and afghanistan? who are supported by saudi arabia and israel, both of which are US allies this is a strawman enemy to steal more ressources
Rest In Peace you brave soldiers you never should have had to do that it makes me tear up knowing this isn’t a dumb video game and they are gone forever They will be avenged
i still dont get why they left them behind. they couldve easily taken over the ambush if the other cars joined. or was it that the last 2 cars thought they were fighting, and then noticed nobody was staying. so they were forced to fight... why didnt they come back to help, no one should be left behind. idont get it.
Looks easy from the comfort of your computer screen, but having been a combat medic (corpsman) with marines, believe me things are much more chaotic than they look on video. That's why it's called "the fog of battle".
I think the biggest mistake would be the lack of communication that the other vehicles flee, whilst some stay to fight either disabled or not. If a relatively large part of the force (especially with important elements ) is left behind, they should have halted as well.
@@theveganteacher6990 im talking about the soldiers. it should be pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain that america is just a modern golem of israel.
A last stand to the end. Shame on those who ran away from battle leaving his comrades behind to face the enemy alone; that's the must disgusting and dishonorable act a man can do. May these brave warriors who died in battle enter Valhöll.
MALA2243 Well my friend, there's a rule every soldier should follow. "You train with them, you die with them". If you make an oath to never abandon your brothers in arms, you must keep that oath at all costs (including death) for the sake of honor, valor, respect and brotherhood. For it is more difficult returning home knowing that you left your brothers in arms die while you ran; when you had the opportunity to even whistand the enemy if you kept by the side of your brothers. For it is more difficult to live shamefully in the society with dishonor knowing that you survived by cowardice; left your courage and your friends die, and didn't had an honorable death by the side of your brothers in arms in battle. But I get your point.
@@r.p5380 Ok so we let Isis expand , would you imagine if Isis have in the near future the same technology , Belic power and money like the US Military ?
Aaron Rowland they were attempting to leave however they got pinned and were helping with casualties and when it came time for them to get out, they couldn’t as they were completely surrounded
The french were involved in this war since 2013 taking 22 fatalities for themselves and killing 1200 terrorists, your statement is rather unfair despite this incident.
Comments like that make me (a French citizen) wish we TRULY didn't get involved. If my country hadn't acted, we wouldn't be talking about only 4 deaths... talking about ungratefulness. With friends like that...
i dont think the last two died next to each other like that if you look at the footage johnson goes down after getting shot while wright continues to run away eventually to get shot down. and i wonder why the footage cuts so often.
ROKMC Rec. It's because the only copies of this fight we have have been HEAVILY edited by The Islamic State militants so as to show them in the "best possible light". They use it to strengthen their "cause" and as a recruitment tool. I can say without doubt that those men fought with everything they had trading ground from time to time. it's not in the best interest of the Islamic State to show anything other then 100% (or as close to it) domination over their "enemies". those boys fought hard you can take that to the bank.
They did die about 20-30 foot from each other. The unedited propaganda vid shows the both wright and Johnson dead without their plate carriers and helmets. Wright was killed around the same time as Johnson. It’s not a pretty watch so I wouldn’t recommend viewing it.
Rest in peace guys, you really brave soldiers... Condolences to the family of these guys and comrades. I am Russian and speak to all US soldiers! Let's be allies and destroy ISIS together!

He may have beed sfod-b or sfod-c which are logistics groups for special operations. The other 3 were all U.S. army special forces of the 3rd special forces group.
LaDavid was actually going to become a Green Beret. I was in Q course with him & he dreamed of being a Green Beret, he just got cycled out on his first attempt but was being give a chance to pass selection after he came back from this particular mission with 3rd group.
So sad. Prayers for the families.
RIP to my good friend throughout my time in the Q course. Black was such a nice and smart guy. DOL
I've seen the bodycam video and it's so heartbreaking
Got what they deserved.
This still touch my heart rip bro ...just how things go down make u feel the pain
the strategy of Reverse attacked is awesome 😎 In ambushed we can't just hold and fight back there cause the enemy had always an advantage but sometimes it's depends on the environment of the place ..... RIP boys RESPECT
R.I.P
What are US troops doing there?
Tom Stack except in the vietnam war, thw USA were supporting south vietnam.
They were green beret soldiers so they must’ve been there during a covert operation, green berets are known for doing this kind of stuff
They were helping Nigerians fight ISIS militants
oh, you mean the isis militants they themselves have created in iraq and afghanistan? who are supported by saudi arabia and israel, both of which are US allies
this is a strawman enemy to steal more ressources
Lessons: don't separated just like a children looking for a candy
I saw the GoPro footage, so sad you could see the blood pour out of his body. So distressing to even watch.
Here to tell u guys today that the guys responsible for their ambush are now dead. Killed by Malian soldiers.
Cope
R.I.P US soldier's True hero's..Much Respect from Italy.
What are they doing in other people's countries in the first place???
Isis has been conducting operations in Africa for awhile now. Most of the roles are actually non-combat, instructing African Troops
Great analysis.
Rest In Peace you brave soldiers you never should have had to do that it makes me tear up knowing this isn’t a dumb video game and they are gone forever They will be avenged
No
respect from Denmark
Make god bless them, they were the best of america, rest in peace brothers. THANK YOU
Why did the video cut? Was he making edits in the middle of a firefight? And why did they stay there?
Video was apparently released by the militants as propaganda. I'd guess they removed parts where the SF dudes dropped some of the militants or said so
i still dont get why they left them behind. they couldve easily taken over the ambush if the other cars joined. or was it that the last 2 cars thought they were fighting, and then noticed nobody was staying. so they were forced to fight... why didnt they come back to help, no one should be left behind. idont get it.
and we never will. It is brutal watching the full video seeing these guys get gunned down and shot to death, something that should not have happened
It honestly could've been anything. It could have very easily been that they sustained a casualty so the other car left sooner.
Looks easy from the comfort of your computer screen, but having been a combat medic (corpsman) with marines, believe me things are much more chaotic than they look on video. That's why it's called "the fog of battle".
I think the biggest mistake would be the lack of communication that the other vehicles flee, whilst some stay to fight either disabled or not. If a relatively large part of the force (especially with important elements ) is left behind, they should have halted as well.
Heroes
010587impala yeah right lol
010587impala Nope
So sad.....RIP to the brave fallen heroes.
Very nice ambush! Truly beautiful and I would like to see more.
thats not cool😕

R.I.P to all who passed.. Man that hade to be terrifying.
Republic Of Turkey supports Usa
RIP Heroes God Bless The Usa
RIP…Thanks for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I feel like the other guys that fled quickly, knew that the ambush was about to happen...
I actually saw the video of them in the ambush. The way they get stripped of their equipment after dying. Horrible stuff man.
A last stand to the end. Shame on those who ran away from battle leaving his comrades behind to face the enemy alone; that's the must disgusting and dishonorable act a man can do. May these brave warriors who died in battle enter Valhöll.
MALA2243 Well my friend, there's a rule every soldier should follow. "You train with them, you die with them". If you make an oath to never abandon your brothers in arms, you must keep that oath at all costs (including death) for the sake of honor, valor, respect and brotherhood. For it is more difficult returning home knowing that you left your brothers in arms die while you ran; when you had the opportunity to even whistand the enemy if you kept by the side of your brothers.
For it is more difficult to live shamefully in the society with dishonor knowing that you survived by cowardice; left your courage and your friends die, and didn't had an honorable death by the side of your brothers in arms in battle. But I get your point.
MALA2243 Neither were you my friend. Have a nice day!
After these years, still ı cant understand, how could it be possible... God bless these brave men who are fighting for humanity...
They aren't fighting for humanity they are fighting for their nation
@@r.p5380 Ok so we let Isis expand , would you imagine if Isis have in the near future the same technology , Belic power and money like the US Military ?
@@r.p5380 what will happen is this video but the victims this time will be your family
Why didn't they just make a run for it? They had two vehicles the other vehicle went on. Or if I'm missing something correct me.
That's what I was thinking they should of took off really fast when they encountered them
@@AaronRowland-y5w it's American ego that they are better, stronger than anyone.
Aaron Rowland they were attempting to leave however they got pinned and were helping with casualties and when it came time for them to get out, they couldn’t as they were completely surrounded
@@dilyan-2904 stfu
fair winds and following seas. rest easy warriors.
If you think some of these Mofo people you training have your back.please!They only there for a pay check👈 # Send a whole team for now on!
That’s why you always drive THROUGH an ambush
Kudos to the ambushers
R.I.P HEROES.
Respect from India
The message here is a simple one. Don't trust African forces they will always desert you. RIP warriors.
I saw this almost exact video on liveleak without the narration on liveleak last month did you guys steal it or just waited to upload it on UA-cam?
they where Doing something they Had no business doing
dude theyre just enlisted guys getting told what to do lol
fighting against ISIS is our business, buddy
Assassination mission; and they got pawned!
yh fighting isis and giving them weapons at the same time is ur business
@Thedwarvenpower you are training someone who is Smarter than you
My respect to you brothers and falling brothers
I mean, ok, they were fighting without proper equipment. But they also called in for a danger close that got denied by the french airfoce..??
Tasel the french dont like war...
The french were involved in this war since 2013 taking 22 fatalities for themselves and killing 1200 terrorists, your statement is rather unfair despite this incident.
The French Mirage pilots had no comms with the US Army operators.
Denied? Are you kidding me? Anything to sh!t on the French, no matter what, even when they save your own... disgusting, and truly ungrateful.
Comments like that make me (a French citizen) wish we TRULY didn't get involved. If my country hadn't acted, we wouldn't be talking about only 4 deaths... talking about ungratefulness. With friends like that...
this is chilling smh
i dont think the last two died next to each other like that if you look at the footage johnson goes down after getting shot while wright continues to run away eventually to get shot down. and i wonder why the footage cuts so often.
ROKMC Rec. prolly because they didn’t want us to see them taking their guys down with them!
yes i read that they killed 21 militants that probably explains the constant cutting of the footage
ROKMC Rec. it was cut because the 4 of them killed 23 isis fighters on there own
ROKMC Rec. It's because the only copies of this fight we have have been HEAVILY edited by The Islamic State militants so as to show them in the "best possible light". They use it to strengthen their "cause" and as a recruitment tool. I can say without doubt that those men fought with everything they had trading ground from time to time. it's not in the best interest of the Islamic State to show anything other then 100% (or as close to it) domination over their "enemies". those boys fought hard you can take that to the bank.
They did die about 20-30 foot from each other. The unedited propaganda vid shows the both wright and Johnson dead without their plate carriers and helmets. Wright was killed around the same time as Johnson. It’s not a pretty watch so I wouldn’t recommend viewing it.
Who else thought they were gonna show us the helmet footage?
Rest in peace guys, you really brave soldiers... Condolences to the family of these guys and comrades. I am Russian and speak to all US soldiers! Let's be allies and destroy ISIS together!
I saw the footage and words cannot describe how i felt after i saw him on the ground with blood spreading through dirt
Still proves that advance technology won't save you. experience does.
it was 4 v 50 my guy
Talk about team work
When you go to other country and put your will..that is what happens
Rest In Peace to all soldiers who died because of lies by politicians.
