I ran across this video and thought it was just the most incredible thing I'd seen in a while. This soldier is a true American hero.

Respect and gratitude to those in the armed forces

wow that is amazing. i have the upmost respect for our armed forces. and that's a travesty that he had to worry about going to prison for doing his job in a life or death situation...unbelievable that people in this country think like that.

I know, that part of the interview really blew me away, I wasn't surprised at all that people think like that though. Some people are real pieces of work.

Those guys were modern day Spartans! It's a shame the predicament they were put in to have to make that choice which ended in tragedy.

What a good dude and American! It must have been a tough decision to let those goat herders go and knowing what the outcome could be....Good luck to him!

So amazing, I have so much respect for them and all US Military overseas. I cannot imagine being in that circumstance.

Incredible...

Good story, of course sad about the losses

Marcus Luttrell. He has a book called "Lone Survivor" which I have read almost 3x now. Absolute incredible story, and it's even more incredible what his team mates went through and how they unselfishelly sacrificed their lives for the other team mates. Lone Survivor is a MUST read.

I am convinced that SEAL Team guys and other U.S. SF are the best and toughest in the world

Un Common Valor....unbelievale Story.

 

[Paulinator]

hooah!

 

[J_ho67]

See, guys like this are the ones that make me seriously want to shoot people when they bash and ridicule the soldiers. I'll have to check out that book.

 

[CobraBob]

Quite a story. Every day he faces the consequence of the decision he helped make which ended up costing the lives of his comrades. I salute him! And his fallen comrades! They're all HEROES!

His brother was in OCS with me, very down to earth and nice guy (but HUGE!)

 

[KC/COBRA]

Poor guy, I feel for him and for the families of the lost.

 

[corysmach1]

Amazing....it does bug me everyday to think what those are doing everyday over there for us....IMO....its bullshit about the rules of engagement...its ****ing war!!

 

[EricfromMO]

they are very courageous men! My brother was actually in a helio looking for them with 7-8 other helio's and the helio directly behind him was the one that got shot down where it killed all 16 aboard.

I can't say what I would have or what they should have done. Amazing story though...sorry for the families as well.
