    It’s so important that stories like Chuck Ritter’s are shared. These are the guys fighting, bleeding, displaying incredible acts of selflessness under fire - and they do it without ever knowing that their stories will extend beyond those who were there and maybe a couple of others down the road.

    This man took the threat to his team as PERSONAL. Him being mad when he was shot instead of being scared shows you the strength of his mentality. I think that’s what kept him alive during those tough times. What a beast. Thank you for your service.

      @@mookiestewart3776 Adrenaline is indeed crazy. I suffered a gunshot injury through my forearm and felt zero pain. Zero. None. It wasn't until maybe 15-20 minutes later it started hurting a bit (but not that much). However at that point I got morphine. The pain I did feel, 15-20 minutes in, was mostly "pressure pain" as I got a few big bumps/blobs in my arm. Maybe a medical professional can chime in I don't know. But I speculate that the bumps and the pressure pain, was due to severed arteries preventing blood flow and gathering up in spots around the wound. The bullet fragmented inside my arm, so there was a lot of shattered bone fragments and bullet pieces.

    Respect to you sir and for your service. My uncle was SASR and 2CDO and got injured in a black hawk crash in Afghanistan, leaving him paralysed waist down. He didn't let his injuries defeat him and he has competed in the Invictus Games and won gold for Australia. He now mentors returned diggers and police officers who suffer from PTSD with the RSL in QLD.
    5mg of Morphine would have done stuff all for those injuries and you get patched up and get out, that is a toughness you don't learn.

We did one mission with them where they timed the patrol to 15 minutes. If they where out there for more then 15 minutes they would receive contact. So my company commander at the time told them they can leave but we're there to fight. Dude is straight up CPT America.

    SGM nails it when he talks about what you do with the fear when you’re in combat. Those who are mentally ready react in force and fight through it. We carry the fear with us and use it as a weapon in and of itself. It’s the most unexplainable feeling to be afraid but not back down. I carry the shell that houses that feeling in me, everyday of my life. I thank God everyday that I don’t have to fill it with that feeling anymore, but make no mistake, I’ll never forget how to fill it up and use it to overtake the enemy if I have to. It’s the only feeling in the world that allows you to experience life from another viewpoint other than your own eyes. I medically retired in 2018 with 18 years. Everyday, I get to work and sit behind my desk and stare at the walls before I crack my computer open and soak in the calmness that I’m shrouded in. It’s the greatest feeling ever. No one is shooting at me, no one wants to hurt me and I feel like I’ve earned the right to a cush job where I utilize my intellect to visualize data for some asshole who has no idea what a real bad day feels like. I don’t gloat, I don’t mope around when I’m having bad days because there’s no such thing as a bad day like a day with a firefight.

    This man is a true warrior and I’m humbled by what he’s done for our country. It’s a shame to me that more people know the name Kobe Bryant than any of the men who have sacrificed like Chuck and men like him.

      Ye a true warrior and sooo humble invading a foreign country for oil and other ressources, just to pull out years later with achieving nothing. Give me a break you ameritard

      What exactly HAS he done for your country? Because from my perspective it looks like your country spent 20 years and a trillion dollars in Afghanistan and achieved absolutely NOTHING. May i remind you that the Taliban took over the whole country before the western troups even left the country?

    Guys like Chuck Ritter are the reason I’m gonna join the service once I finish getting my associates degree. Same with my father who was a detective first grade in 9/11 and received an award for going in and out of both towers a combined 8 times saving many lives before his own health was compromised as well as my best friends Dad who was an Ranger and did several tours all over Iraq, Afghanistan and a few parts of Africa. Men like them are the reason I been working to get in peak condition and hopefully one day go through RASP and have the honor to serve in the 75th. God willing, may he let me serve my country to the furthest extent of my ability🙏. God bless America and men like Mr.Ritter who stand toe to toe with extreme evils and show no fear.

    Men, like this are really the superhumans of mankind. I am just in awe of what all he, and his team went through. They are hero's and so brave, there isn't words to describe the respect that I have for them. I am actually surprised that we can see this. It wasn't that long ago. I hope that there isn't any problems with it being released so early. I have nothing but respect for Chuck, what a fighter!

    I am in such awe of you and all of the other soldiers. It is seriously impactful for me to see the true cost that this amazing man (and all others who were fighting) paid, multiple times, all to turn around and go right back… “if you believe that you are a force of nature… let nothing stop you”.
    Thank you for sharing your story- it is so meaningful to see the reality and consequences of war, and to hear true stories from a highly trained special forces soldier.

      For your freedom? Dude was in a country he didn't belong in fighting a force that didn't want him there, im not saying its his fault, but it wasn't for your freedom, you were under no threat from the Taliban.
