From the mother of a Marine, this is hard to watch. From the comforts of our home, its hard to imagine waking up as bullets are coming at you from all around! God bless our military! Semper Fi!
guys i want you to know that the sacrifices you make for this country are appreciated in the hearts of many. thank you so much for protecting us and people across the globe. god bless you all.
thats my teachers son at the end he told me to watch this video and i did and he said that guy in the end is holding a bloody rag and when i saw that i new that was my teachers son
Stay safe, keep watching your buddies backs, get the job done, & we here in the USA look forward to seeing you all come back when your tour is done. Thank You, with much respect, & hand salute!
And guess who started to train the first generation terrorists? Thats right, the U.S. trained the Mujahideens to fight back against communism in the 70s, and now it backfired. Every problem in the Middle East has been started by the U.S. directly or indirectly.
@marines Thank you for the reply, and thanks for the re-upload. I would like to see more of these. I like the first person view of combat, it would be great. Thanks
@MaNiMaBaLLa The original video was uploaded with the wrong name for the person who shot and produced it. So in order to give proper credit, we fixed the error and put it back up.
[Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"; Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it." - "60 Minutes" (5/12/96)]
actually we won militarily we lost the war at home. We lost the war because we did not stand behind our men and support them. Because America listens to its people we left Vietnam as per the civilians wishes
Mike don’t you think that is how it should be? If the common people are not behind a war then there should be no war. Any other way then the government could just declare war every other day...
@@orc_gunslinger lol I was 16 when I wrote that. But here we go. Honestly, there comes a point when you have to cut loose children that are not worth the effort. They do not want to change. We would have had to stay there another 50 years to make any significant cultural change . My hat is off to the pro democracy forces launching attacks and trading places with the the Taliban in Afghanistan The Taliban like any competent guerrilla force. Did not stand toe to toe. When they did it did not end well. They only held ground where the forces were not around. Their only goal was harassment and to survive until the US left. They did not win militarily but as general Giáp of Vietnam pointed out after his critics stated he never beat the US militarily. He said very true but the US is no longer here now so that does not matter. In the same way the Taliban can say the same thing. each conflict post Korea gets less and less bloody when you adjust for time and scale of conflict . This was our least bloody conflict since the Philippine insurrection
Respect to ALL our brothers in the armed forces. Thank you ALL for everything you have done and gave up. God has a place for you brave soldiers in heaven.
@@kingdedede9135 Yes and no. Trump had a condition-based pull-out that would've worked remarkably well had Biden stuck to it. Instead, Biden ordered a unilateral pull-out that had _zero_ conditions, and a ridiculous time-table... like, to the point where you can almost make a 1-1 comparison to the Fall of Saigon (something that Biden seemed almost determined to replicate, imho). If there _is_ a silver lining to the pull-out (and Afghanistan in general) it's that Afghani's had a taste of what a free society in their country might look like. There is a whole generation of children (girls especially) who grew up being educated, enjoyed the right to vote, had generally equal representation under the law, and rights of speech/assembly while under the republic that was edstablished after the Taliban's fall. The genie is out of the bottle, in that regard. And the Afghani people won't soon forget that. The flip-side of that edge is that they also won't forget the pullout. Nor will veterans forget that Biden left them high-and-dry during the whole course of the pullout and is continuing to do-so during his residency in the oval office. To put it another way: Biden's treatment of the military is the kinda shit that makes the fake "suckers and losers" comment Trump supposedly made (and I _really_ have to emphasize the word "supposedly" as Biden repeats this falsehood from an article in "The Atlantic," which parroted comments from anonymous, unnamed sources that were supposedly close to Trump, but were found to be, at best, unverifiable) look tame by comparison. So yeah... I stand by my original statement but with some additional caveats: Afghanistan is certainly not Vietnam. The mission and the way we fought there were significantly different, but the pullout? Yeah... you can draw a few parallels and see quite a few similarities between the two conflicts.
those drones are eliminating high valued targets that directly affects everyone. Marines have their own air support unlike the army who relies on the air force.
The U.S. marines are tough! They can bravely defeat any child. A pregnant woman is no match for a squadron of brave marines either! And the elderly? They'd better say their prayers when the U.S. marines come to town!
@greentea1494 I fully commend you and would never try to talk anyone out of joining the military but please go into it with the respect it deserves and not like it's a game. Because in the Military there is no quick finish cheats and no pause button. ( and if anyone thinks I don't know what I'm talking about, I have several friends that are military and my family and I adopt a soldier every year for Christmas and most of them have become our family friends)
These clips come from a documentary by the soldiers that filmed it and its brutal and not something the Marines would want to re post. I urge you to watch the whole thing, "Combat Obscura"
Thank you all for your service, I can't wait to join the Marine Corps 2013, i would have a suggestion, get the combat engineers to blow those caves up.
im also speaking taliban world wide they are not just in Afg. Iraq they are all over. in OIF and OEF we have lost about 5,000 to 6,000 service members total the ESTIMATED amount of taliban casualties was in the hundreds of thousands this was in 2010 this was newspaper statistics by the way.
[In late A.D. 2011 it was divulged, by the U.S. Govt., that the cremated remains of soldiers are commonly thrown into garbage dumps. The corporators & syndicators who run the show view American soldiers, properly, as garbage.]
4:39 I don't know what to say. My Marine was there when his Sgt. was blown up by an I.E.D. If you don't stand behind the Military, feel free to stand infront of them!
great job countering, but i wonder why there isnt a marksman or sniper embedded with this unit. wouldve made finding the main crevice that the insurgents were firing from a lot easier, and then there wouldnt be so much firing all over the face of the mountain and wasting ammo.
Thankyou for your service Patrick Swayze
100%🤣
Thought I was the only one
LMAO this is true!😂
From the mother of a Marine, this is hard to watch. From the comforts of our home, its hard to imagine waking up as bullets are coming at you from all around! God bless our military! Semper Fi!
You forget though that they love it .😂😂
Damn the guy looked like he's straight out of high going into war! Respect to him and all marines

he did the rite thing by going thair and killing those ass holes
Ooooh rah! My fathers a US Marine and I'm a JROTC Marine!
Backwoodsrebel not a marine if you're jrotc. Youre a cadet or something. Not a Marine though.
He did the right thing

Taliban don't have the guts, grit, or balls to face our guys head-on.
Agent Washington equipment* from what I understand they've done quite a bit of damage with what they have
Alexis Padilla plus the taliban have been fighting modern enemies since the damn 80s so they have quite a bit of experience .
And guess who started to train the first generation terrorists? Thats right, the U.S. trained the Mujahideens to fight back against communism in the 70s, and now it backfired. Every problem in the Middle East has been started by the U.S. directly or indirectly.

you cant ask for stuff like this

Being shot at is very stressful especially when it’s day after day. It wears you down.

Thank you for this post
I want to say thank you to the Men and Women who face this nightmare and keep us safe at home.
Thank you
Your welcome
One of the Marines at 3:40 is a good friend of mine. Stay safe Kaleb, I'll be joining the fleet with you soon.
How’d your career go?
God bless all our men and woman who serve !!!
Thank you for your service!🤘🇺🇲💯
Vrey good that the marines also have these videos which show marines fighting real not just in training very good!
It hurt me when i saw that Marine get hurt, or was it just a minor accident? Cause i started to tear up...
Wow. Great job by the camera guys gives a civilian the chance to see what really goes on over there. Stay safe.
Thank You everyone in the army
Do we have an update on the young man that was injured???
Semper Fi
Ty gents 🇬🇧
Yeah that was about the most real situation I could imagine in the war.
I feel so fucked up in the head for saying war was the best and worst time of my entire life that I wish I could experience again
Well you should because you are.
I'm 51 years old. How many Marines and Soldiers my age would serve if asked? Even with no combat experience I know I would if asked.
Respect. The youth is here for that man, it's our turn to fight for you.
Ski Mask thanks
The battlefield is no place for old men
I miss and hate these days.

Wow! Amazing video. Makes me want to re-enlist. Semper Fi brothers.
Exactly, well said.
That's correct.That acknowledgment comes from an "old breed" Marine who protested loud and often to end that fools errand.

Semper Fi Marines. Keep up the good work.
How can they fight so far away from each other? They can't even see each other.
Respect!!!!!
This fumbling looks like these guys were fresh from recruitment camp.
thas some god damn good shooting there at 1:29 and i didnt know patrick swayze was a marine
This has Better graphics than my phone when recording. And I have good Wi-Fi. AND this footage is from 12 years ago.😢
May you come home safe and sound.
It's almost impossible to occupy a mountainous country.
give them hell!
greetz from austria, 4th recon bat. - you guys rock!
all, my, respect.
now i bet theyre asking themselves why they were there in the first place
God Bless America and the men and women of our armed forces. They do the job that most of us cant or wont do.
My favorite part @ 1:30.......tangos down!!!!!
If you listen closely around when the rocket hits the wall you hear the wilhelm scream sound effect lol that was great
You can hear screaming as it’s going towards the cliff

@xjoexish That's called a tracer round it's to help to know where you are shooting they usually are every couple rounds rather than every round
...is it just me or is that Patrick Swayze's brother 34 seconds in?
Get some Devil Dogs, that's a hell of a way to get woke up & get your adrenaline pumping!!!
was it filmed in hollywood?
As well as our own when it comes down to it
