Marcus Lutrell on Michael Monsoor's Medal of Honor

[390bullitt1968]

my next door neighbor in 1968 was an 18 yr old who I thought was the coolest guy in the world. He was the guy everyone looked up to and liked. His life ended in vietnam. It was

a loss that saddens me today. When I learned from the public confession of Def Sec McNarmara in 1995? we were NOT attacked, but just decided to attack North Vietnam ,I was sick. 57,999 others gave their life for a staged GD war. Now Iraq. I wish Americans would tell these pols in DC: you start it, you fight it.

[ajsaccount1991]

These men are Heroes! May they come home safe and may they defeat our enemies!

[kdfromhb]

thanks to all the guys out there who leave family and home to protect those at home.......

[mccamman]

The guy interviewing him is so upbeat.

[EliasOwnage95]

gotta love how the same youtube account has the both topcomments

[reckokicker]

@052596jjayne high school is free in this country...please take advantage of it...

[ctuagent247]

Marcus I hope to meet you someday. You are my hero. I spent 5 years in the Navy on an SSGN submarine and did some DDS ops with SDV Team One. May your teammates and all those killed in the line of duty rest in peace.

[m44freedom]

Be Advised..I salute you Michael Monsoor! Thanks for your outstanding service and selfless sacrifice for your comrades in arms, your comrades and your country will never forget your ultimate bravery, your moment to make a difference for freedoms vanguard in the realm of arms way. I salute you again. M44soldier

[GodSquadMandrake]

Don't bring your political crap in here. Soldiers have nothing to do with politics. Take off the flag patches and uniforms and it's a friend dieing for a friend. It's easy to say that you would do that for somebody but my experience is 80% of people are too scared to fight for themselves even if they'll talk all day about it. Know yourself.

[extirpatus]

Mikey was a stud, and a great kid. And so is Marcus. don't comment unless you know what the fuck you are talking about. faggots......

[rds13601]

Every one of these kids that wear the camoflauge are fucking heros!!!!!!!!

[hcrpntr]

Salute to Monsoor for a sacrifice he learned as Jesus taught us. Luttrell feels like he died on that mountain with his war buddies. I love them both and their sacrifice.

Liberals, who use their blood bought freedom of speech, to talk bad about the ones who paid for it can gladly STFU. Post your address with your comments please.

Salute soldiers!

[breaker1237547]

Notice the body language at 0:35.

RIP Mike

[grandmom55]

Deepest respect for Marcus and others like him. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

[mountainstandardtime]

American fighting men are amazing. Americans will jump on a grenade to save their buddies. A coward terrorist will strap a bomb on his chest to kill others. Just goes to show the huge difference in mentalities. Thats why we are going to win and throw back those rag head bastards back to the 12th century where those MFs wanna be any ways. Mike Monsoor you have saved two lives and you are one amazing person. There are untold generations that will go on because of your selflless sacrifice.

[SharpShot519]

So you're saying you lost respect for a national hero because of his political views? Keep in mind I feel that all service members are heroes, Marcus was simply put into an extraordinary situation and did what was necessary.

If I recall correctly, he didn't say his personal views reflected those of the entire armed services. If you've read his book, you would understand why he is upset with the left-wing media and its effects on the mindset of soldiers, specifically in the SPECWAR community.

[julieyard1]

i read the book. Excellent read.

just didn't appreciate some of the comments he made at the tea bagger parades.

did you read those?

[sixthday132]

Sounds like Julieyard1 has a case of SEAL penis envy.

[3RWE3]

@julieyard1 Julie who did Marcus have deepest respect for in his book ? Since you read it it should be on the tip of your tongue.

[idsman75]

Nope. I know plenty of current, former, and retired service members who are Democrats, Green Party, and Independents. At least Marcus has the n@ds to say what he believes. Let him spout. The left does it plenty. The right shouldn't have to sit down and shut up just because they wore a uniform once. I can respect a man's service but revolt at his political stance and activism. Take Sen McCain for example. An incredible American. I'd never vote for him and I am a Republican.

[sixthday132]

So let me get this straight Robert, you had respect for him and his courageous sacrifice for his country until you found out he was a conservative who didn't mind excercising the freedom of speech he "actually'" bled for and watched his teamates die for. So you lost respect for the man simply because he has an oposing point of view from yours and somehow this makes his sacrifice less deserving of your respect?

[mindylinky]

I will respect anyone who went through what he went through for his country, and you should do the same even if you do not agree politically

[firemanladder12]

@julieyard1 Marines are always jealous of SEALs, oh well

[Dogmeat1950]

@firemanladder12 um..no, don't ever Compare a entire Branch to a Unit. grrrr

[eamonob84]

Marcus Lutrell is THE MAN. Michael Monsoor was a hero also, may God bless his soul.

[AndreN10021]

Merry X-Mas special op peeps, Please keep creeping around in the dark being bad men. God bless.

[VIKING33NY]

GOOD JOB MARCUS!!

[CastingStonez]

The announcers voice sounds like?

July4thPatriot...

[snickers696sd]

My thoughts and prayers go out to, not only the special ops guys, but all of our men and women in our armed services on this Memorial Day weekend. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SACRIFICES!

[SOGMediaProductions]

No Omar you are a douche.

Cordially,

Uncle J

[andrewtorpedo]

FUCK you you fucking piece of shit die

[sweed183]

@OmarThePug u are fucked in the head u piece of shit

[jamesdean890789]

read the book....amazing

[WLordnDRanch12]

wow look at marcuses hands, the way he moves them, this guy needs to go on vacation, but when hes kept real busy...real real busy..

[FFSe7en]

You obviously haven't read "Lone Survivor" or you'd understand what he's been through and wouldn't make petty remarks about his hands.

[WLordnDRanch12]

I actully have read the book. All im saying is you can see what war has done to him.

[breaker1237547]

What was the remark that WLordnDRanch12 made about Luttrells hands?

[dcnats92]

ha. gee. tonsmel got blasted for makin a good statement. honest mistake im sure. HOOYAH to Michael and to Marcus.

[1stab]

JoeMomma2002 has a small PP and is mad about it. Can I get an "Amen?"

Monsoor jumped on a Grenade to protect his buddies. I think this video was posted to honor that.

[ashure36]

Joemaomma, I looked at your favorite playlist and you are a Nazi loving piece of crap. You call the USA terrorists but have SS and Nazi friendly video's in your fav's list. Just a little hipocritical dont you think.

[ashure36]

Wish cowards like Joemomma and all of Hollywood would put their money where their mouth is and go live with the terrorists. I just want to see that dumb look on your face when they saw your head off.

[JoeMomma2002]

Wonder why they kill us.

Gee? Couldn't have anything to do with being in their country you simpleton...

What do you expect to happen when you occupy a country illegally? FOR THEM TO SURRENDER IN AWE OF THE FREEDOM GIVING AMERICANS?!?

No of course not. They have every right to pick up a rifle and begin killing American Soldiers. Speaking of terrorists, as far the U.S. goes, well you created them.

You funded Osama and the Talbin, so don't bitch to me about it.

[Navyseal234]

Osama, and now he's getting what he deserves.

[Navyseal234]

Ah, stupid keyboard. What I mean't to say was, Osama betrayed us, and now he is getting what he deserves.

[Tonsmel]

"Wonder why they kill us.

Gee? Couldn't have anything to do with being in their country you simpleton..."

Hmm...I must be missing something...Because I remember them coming into OUR country and flying planes into a few buildings (This sounds like an understatement, but I assure you, it isn't!)...

I guess you think we should have let them kill people and congratulated them for their conquests...?

[mobilemom69]

What is your problem? This is a video to honor a fallen brother in arms. YOU jerk!! As a mother of 3 soldiers people like you make me SICK!! You may not understand or support the war, but support the warriors who are defending your right to be a PRICK!

[Tonsmel]

You must have misunderstood my comment.

The quoted portion was something someone else wrote (notice the quotation marks?).

I was simply replying to someone else's really lame comment.

[mobilemom69]

You are right...I did misread your comment. Those "" marks. I apologize profusely!! The person who wrote that comment is the one that I want to blast!

[Orvellrednbacer]

I agree.

[3RWE3]

@mobilemom69 Not an easy path being parent of soldiers but I couldnt be prouder !

[Reddog167]

I am Proud of you for raising 3 great sons.

[IthenGer]

@mobilemom69 you are hilarious

[3RWE3]

@mobilemom69 Tonsmel was commenting back to an idiot named joemomma2002, he(?) is another fake nazi(liberal undercover) trying his best to make sense of his (?) education.

[futurenavyseal1995]

@mobilemom69 i agree with her, im gonna say wat she was 2 polite 2 say FUCK OFF AND GO STRAIGHT TO HELL and if you dont stand behind our troops then feel free to stand infront of them

[Timma15]

Even though your rhetoric is little extreme, your right. Americans have occupied the majorty of the Middle East since the 1930's, and back then US soldiers did what they pleased, but this is a different place in time, most Americans who sign up for combat have no idea what their getting themselves into. Fuck the Politicians. God Bless the Soldiers.

[JoeMomma2002]

Coward?

Oh why because I don't go to Iraq and fight "Terrorists"

No, the cowards are all the soldiers in Iraq occupying a country illegally.

They aren't wanted there, no one asked them to be there, and if they are dieing, IT'S BECAUSE THEY SIGNED UP TO DIE!

That's not heroic, that's just life. You sign up to fight Iraqis, then why should you expect anything else.

[dixieflyersta]

We don't get many Michael Monsoors and we need to celebrate heroes when we see them.

The hills are full of liberals and Obamas and it's generally best simply to overlook them.

Unless you're a submariner. Then you can just call them "targets."

[berry67068]

NONE of this video or Mike Monsoors medal of honor has squat with what you are all babbling about. Get some perspective you idiots ! Regardless of the politics of this war, these guys are heros. God help you if you ever need a hero and he's too busy trying to make a politically correct decision before you get the help you might need.

God Bless Mike Monsoor and his family and God Bless America

[Vvajk]

Well he's not an active operator anymore, so he probably has put on some weight. Anyone would. And WHO CARES? Does that have anything to do with his experience or what he did and went through?

[ezbiskit]

Who cares what his appearance or physique is? I can tell that could give a crap about your opine. His service continues unabated as he honors history's heros. The left is attempting to devalue McCains service thru proxy by attacking MrLutrells motives. John Kerry was qualified 4yrs ago. How disingenuous. SEAL=BAMFYou couldnt cary his jock. He could be bedridden, morbidly obese, limited to southpaw, get 'dropped' on and could stil efficiently dispatch the majority of us with little or no effort

[ezbiskit]

test

[skye820]

Guang7, my liberal-speak is rusty, could you repeat you statement in legible english?

[Guang7]

no offece Marcus Luttrel, but to me, u look kinda thick and in other pics. But i reckon ur books really good, and u were probally a pretty good SEAl team member. I love Navy SEALS so i dont know why im saying that Marcus Luttrel is thick....

[Transamstance]

You mean he's gained some weight right? Who cares?

[MikeP520]

Marcus!! Your book is good shit!!

[LINCOst8]

id love to see things from your point of view, however i can not seem to get my head that far up my ass

[jackdclark]

That surprising because from here you look like you are all ass.

[bjstarrz]

Monsoor is a fallen hero, Luttrell is a living hero, these guys put their lives on the line for us!

[nextlevel992000]

Nucklehead.

[johnsta83]

I guarantee you wouldn't say that in their presence you coward.

[bjstarrz]

your a moron, obviously, join the military you puke, do something besides playing video games

[JoeMomma2002]

Why should he join the the military.

Get sent as cannon fodder for a vain and imperialistic cause. Yes because we all know "Terrorism" can be stopped by invading Iraq.

As for Luttrell being a nucklehead, that's not for me to decide but I do know this war is pathetic and that America is losing the war.

[jackdclark]

You only wish you could be a mere pimple on the backside of these noble soldiers. What have you done to advance mankind puke?

[JoeMomma2002]

Get over yourself.

Just because your stupid enough to join the Armed Forces and fight against farmers, does not make you a better person. It just means you're willing to die for President Bush's oil profits, oh and for the Israelis as well.

[Lonevoice123]

I pity you. I truly hope your life isn't as pathetic as your words portray.

[Lonevoice123]

er, my comment was directed at Joemomma.

[batvette]

Farmers don't throw grenades, genius.

President Bush's oil profits? I laugh when I hear ignorantly detached claims of that nature.

Oil companies wouldn't make a dime except for YOUR need of their product. Furthermore we owe the Saudis for the bulk of America's prosperity since 1973, and had an agreement to protect them from further agression from Saddam. We don't welch on deals like that.

[JoeMomma2002]

Detached.

Yes, Saddam was such a big threat. I don't need the product but it appears your president's party funders do. Continue believing that the Iraq War was justified.

"Farmers don't throw grenades?" Yes they do, in fact it's so simpe to operate a grenade and an AK-47, there are children in African Nations running around with them. I opt not to fight testy farmers.

Welch on deals? Yes, tell that to South Vietnam.

[batvette]

You don't need the product? Well on top of everything else you're a liar, as even in the unlikely event you don't use gasoline the keyboard you're typing on is made mostly of petrochemical byproducts the gasoline refining process leaves behind. The justifications for the Iraq war are in the Joint Resolution, and NOT ONE WORD of that document has been proven false or incorrect. I doubt you've even seen it yet you call the war "illegal". Only in the witch hunt law standards of war critics it is.

[jbass02]

Never forget- Heroes just like the ones in these videos, with their lives, carved out a niche for lazy people just like you and me; to insure us a place where we are afforded the TIME to think and say whatever we want, with enough time left over to develop and follow through with our ideas. THAT is the definition of Freedom.

[JoeMomma2002]

No that is the definition of imperialism.

Killing Iraqi's grants me freedom?!?! I'm sorry but I don't see how killing Iraqi Farm Families is in anyway granting us freedom.

PErhaps you've confused American Terrorism with Freedom. I'm sure you thought that when you bombed hiroshima, dresden, cambodia, and the list goes on.

[jackdclark]

You didn't answer my question puke. What noble thing have you done to advance mankind? Get out of your mother's basement and learn a little bit about the world. You are fortunate that a jerk off like you can hide behind the efforts of brave men and women and pretend to be so superior.  You are a cretin. Wait, I take that back. Why discredit cretins?

[JoeMomma2002]

What question is that?

Any moron can get a gun and terrorize innocent Iraqi citizens. How is that advancing Mankind?

Just because I'm not some cannon fodder for the Imperialistic causes of a Plutocratic American Empire, does not make me a puke.

What have you done besides wave a gun infront of Iraqi Citizens who have a RIGHT TO KILL YOU! Brave men and Women? HA! They choose to fight for Bush's war, they choose to die. They shouldn't be in the country in the first place.

[jackdclark]

I can tell that you delude yourself into thinking that you are intellectually superior because you use worn out 60's words like "Imperialistic" and "Plutocratic". If you ever get out of your mother's basement and get out to see the world, you will find that it is a dangerous place. Fortunately for you, there are those who are willing to put their lives on the line for your freedom to rant and rave in your mentally deranged world as you like. Go cry like a little girl someplace else.

[JoeMomma2002]

Sorry but killing Iraqi Women and Children with bombs isn't going to make me any safer. You can continue thinking otherwise though.

[jackdclark]

Obviously you see the world in a fashion that resembles looking through the wrong end of a telescope, blinding you to the big picture. Contrary to what you and the biased media believe, we are not in Iraq for the purpose of killing women and children. That must be the other side that you are referring to. The ones that use women and children as shields. That's not us. The unfortunate reality of any war is that death happens. No coalition soldier wants innocents to die.

[JoeMomma2002]

You are in Iraq for the soul purpose of Killing Terrorists.

(I.E. SOMETIMES WOMEN AND CHILDREN)

Don't sugar code your actions in Iraq. I'm not some moron high on patriotic slogans.

"No Coalition Soldier wants innocents to die"

Could have fooled me, how about this, LEAVE IRAQ, then no innocent bystanders will die in Bush's war?

[jackdclark]

Because of cowards like you and spineless politicians, we did just what you suggest for Iraq in Viet Nam. We never lost a battle in Viet Nam, but the government lost it for us. Millions of innocent people died under Communism as a result. Now you want us to do the same thing again so we can run away from our responsibility. What about all the women and children who will be slaughtered if we pull out? Remember this is not Bush's War. Congress (Democrat controlled) authorized it.

[JoeMomma2002]

No the War was authorized in 2003 by a conservative controlled government under false allegations that Saddam had Nukes.

"Lost a Battle in Vietnam"

LIES! Yes you did, in fact the Tet Offensive proves it.

"innocent people died under communism"

Oh you mean the Mai La Massacre or how about the Bombing of Cambodia. Agent Orange on Vietnamese Farmers?

Better coward than a murderous and heartless bastard,

[ajball15]

Actually he is correct. We never lost a battle in Vietnam. While the Tet offensive killed many of our soldiers, we still did not lose a battle.

[Navyseal234]

We did not lose the TET Offensive. We lost a lot of men, but we beat the living crap out of the NVA afterwards. 10 Million people have died, due to Communism.

[jerdeb4evr]

How many have died in the name of Christianity? Islam? The Irony is that for all the souls killed in the name of communism, Communism killed itself. Now our ignorant pandering politicos are pushing us into communism. If it wasn't so trajic it would be funny

[restarts82]

@Navyseal234 great comment...finally someone who knows what they are talking about...a direct result of the us leaving vietnam was the reign of pol pot in cambodi which left hundreds of thousands innocent cambodians dead.

[restarts82]

@JoeMomma2002 communism has killed numbers that the us could never match...we never lost the tet offensive..you clearly have no education in military history.

[Dogmeat1950]

@restarts82 Ya 180 million people have died because of Communism, Hitler onyl killed 7 million people.

[Troublesome2008]

@Dogmeat1950

Where the hell do you get those numbers? We should not even mention that prick on this page, but Hitler was responsible for WW2 and as a result he is to blame for way more deaths than Stalin. In Poland alone over 5 million people died. In Russia almost 12 million people died. All by the hands of the nazi's. Plus, Hitler did his damage in just six years. Stalin was in power for 31 years and he was responsible for 15 - 20 million deaths. You do the math...

[Dogmeat1950]

@Troublesome2008 What!? it's proven that Stalin killed more lol. all by the hands of the NAZI's my ass!

Stalin killed over 20 Million people. not the Nazi's, STALIN!

great purge ring a bell? not even Hitler was that stupid! that's just one out of many events.

you know when the USSR invaded Poland in 1939 they also rounded up all top people of Poland and killed them. there is a Memorial to the place today.

you really really need to learn some history.

[Troublesome2008]

@Dogmeat1950

I'm from Europe and we learn WW2 inside and outside. You still believe the cold war propaganda that's been fed to you. Stalin was responsible for a maximum of 20 million death and he did it in 31 years. 31 years! Hitler was responsible for WW2 and 65 million people died in that war. In just six years! How can you even think Stalin was worse than Hitler. Do a Google search, check Wikipedia or go to the Library.

[Dogmeat1950]

@Troublesome2008 lol Wiki is your source hahaha, ok dumb shit will go to wiki.

Wiki, Hitler Killed 11-13million people,happy.your still wrong lol.

We are not talking about Wars, we are talking about Genocide.

also No you did not study WW2 inside in out you study the European Theater. WW2 was more then in just Europe.

Again Commies has killed more people in the last 90 years then any other Political movement!

don't comment back in less your going to correct your self.

[Troublesome2008]

@Dogmeat1950

11 to 13 million people? 12 million Soviet civilians died in WW2. 8 million soviet soldiers died in WW2. Hitler was responsible for their deaths. The entire war on the Eastern front was one big genocide. Oh, but you don't count the war. I forgot. The 11 to 13 million deaths you talk about where just the people in concentration kamps. You only count them! But let's stop this. This is not the place for this discussion. We won't agree with eachother. And that happens sometimes.

[Dogmeat1950]

@Troublesome2008 HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW DUMB ARE YOU!?

We are talking Genocide! not WARS!

25 Million Russians died fighting the Germans.

That has nothing to do with Stalin killing his own people!

Pick up a book,Stalin killed more of his own people then anyone else, he killed millions of his own well before WW2 happened.

RESEARCH things it helps!

[Troublesome2008]

@Dogmeat1950

Okay let's end this. You are right. Stalin killed more of his own people than Hitler did. But please understand that genocide doesn't mean that you only kill your own people. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. Killing civilians in a war is also genocide. So my opinion hasn't changed, Hitler was responsible for more deaths than Stalin was. Now let's stop. We both have a point, okay?

[restarts82]

@JoeMomma2002 maybe we shouldve bombed cambodia a little more...look what happened later..the communist killing fields

[mindylinky]

what a scmuck

[mamacal123]

Marcus, go to my site and put on some of the songs...have peace...

It's wonderful for the family of Michael Monsoor's family for the CMof Honor

[pokermaster54]

how do you know that he believes in god? Isn't that a little presumptuous? I would be offended if somebody thought that about me.

[bj132001]

If you're talking about Marcus believing in God, he does.  Read his book and you will see that.

[pokermaster54]

yeah I am reading it right now. He does believe in god. So we don't agree about one thing.

But I agree with the virtues that he values like honor, commitment, courage, and honesty.

People don't get to choose what they believe so I don't condemn any theists from holding irrational beliefs. Eventhough they often condemn who I am simply for the fact that I lack belief in the unsupported supernatural events described in the bible.
