Bodycam footage of SF soldiers ambushed in Niger *WARNING*

[ArabianOak]

FWIW it doesn’t show the faces of the fallen soldiers.

Things went downhill really quickly in that video. It raises more questions than answers.

As a marine I would hate to be relying on the French for anything other than breakfast.

As posted before, the ambushers retrieved the helmet cam and released the video as a propaganda film

Imagine how their family members feel about THAT

Fearless. RIP, went out like the warriors they are.

 

[Never_Enough]

I don't think I can bring myself to watch it

 

[ZYBORG]

not watching, and the site that uploaded this should be ashamed. How do you think these peoples family feel about this?

Ashamed of what? Its reality. It is not being used as a mockery. Faces were blurred. Guys went out like warriors. On their shields!

These are the men who had stood and fought for our freedom.

The saying that “all gave some and some gave all” reigns true with these men.

RIP to them

Not watching it. I can barely tolerate things like the opening of Saving Private Ryan when I know it's a movie. No way I could handle watching the real thing.

It's hard to put into words how much respect I have for the men who do that kind of work. Being perfectly honest, I don't have it in me. Lots of guys like to talk a big game about how cool it'd be to be a SEAL, Green Beret, etc. But I know my limits. I couldn't do it. That makes me respect men like this even more.

RIP men.

Sofrep put out an explanation of why they published the video. Worthy read.

Crazy. RIP.

Damn, that was intense.
RIP

It got really really hard for me toward the end of the video when the man is laying on the ground, looking off in to the horizon. Can't fathom looking at the clouds moving in the sky, realizing that that's the last thing I'd ever see, knowing that I'm thousands of miles away from my loved ones.

RIP

Naw. Its eye opening, but non graphic

I commend you for asking instead of just pulling. No, does not need to be pulled.

It's not so much graphic, just really dramatic and emotional.
