Combat Photojournalist hit by sniper in Afghanistan

[cobraz22]

Damn he's a lucky bastard, it didn't surprise me when He said he didn't get hit cause sometimes when your so excited and adrenalin is pumping you have no clue what happened or if you really did get hit, pain doesn't register

[acidburn021281]

hey if i get shot you can drag my ass any time

[eudksvrs]

The only good American soldier is a dead American soldier

[MetalSights]

@eudksvrs Especially the ones with families and kids at home, and the medical staff that are taking care of livestock and others providing free security to villages, digging wells, and other things.

[MetalSights]

@eudksvrs Ah, also, I'm sure your hero Ron Paul would completely approve of your statement.

Just goes to show what kind of people support him....

[css0317]

I'm sure he was creeping out trying to get a photo, notice all the marines already behind cover, he is not. Had he followed the marines he wouldnt of gotten shot and the marines wouldn't of had to take EXTRA risk. I'm sure those marines would just shrug it off, because thats what grunts do. From my personal experience when reporters from BBC came with us and couldn't keep up or slowed us down to take a picture, it resulted in Marines with shrapnel from rpg's or bullet holes, so SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[chopsuey518]

WHATS THE POINT OF FIRING THE RPG IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO LOOK AT THE EXPLOSION!

[chiefwolfgang403]

Lawld at his mustasche....

[css0317]

journalists dont belong in a combat zone anyway. now that marine had to put himself in harms way to save this turd. you sir are an asshole.



[cameraguy38]

@css0317 Part of living in a free society means having people there to document history as it happens. If it wasn't for photojournalists like Keith Lepor, then most people would still think war was like they show in the movies. Unlike in Vietnam, journalists are firmly embedded within military units these days, and the military gets a say in what images are released and when they release them. They are as much a propaganda tool as anything else.

[css0317]

@cameraguy38 not the point i was making at all, way to misdirect from this fact: the journalist got hit, which would mean that he was standing in a stupid spot, notice the marines behind cover SMART, he was standing in the open STUPID, so now that marine had to risk his life to save some stupid asshole who contributes absolutely jack shit to killing these taliban and getting back to their pb safely. I can only assume that your just as fucked up as the rest of the stupid assholes with cameras.

[cameraguy38]

@css0317 Oh, sorry if you disagree, I had no idea you were a knucklehead, but I feel it was exactly the point to make, no misdirection at all. All combat journalists are embedded into military units, so if the unit commanders decided there was no need for him, he wouldn't be there. It's not for you or me to say otherwise. At least the photographer got hit by the enemy this time and not his own side, which is most often the case when working alongside redneck fucks like yourself.

[css0317]

@cameraguy38 Now that you want to get all ballsy on the internet tough guy lets do this BIOOOOTCH. Again you fail to recognize and respect the MARINE who put his life at risk to save this stupid faggot. But thats what marines do, so go ahead and stand behind us next time "your embedded" and rounds start comin in, pussy. But if you're feeling froggy about it, hop on over to camp pendleton, ask where the scout snipers are at and i'll be waitin, that is if you have the balls, which i doubt.

[cameraguy38]

@css0317 Your simian demeanor suggests a heritage unusually rich in species diversity. Maybe when you're old enough, you can join the marines you can get your ass shot off. That way you will at least have done your country the courtesy of removing yourself from the gene pool before you have a chance to pollute it further.

[css0317]

@cameraguy38 I really enjoy ripping on your ignorant ass. You obviously either don't or can't read because if you did, you'd know from my previous comments that I'm in the Marines. Pssst, you'll have to deduce that conclusion from when I told you to come to Camp Pendleton, and look for me. A have assed intelligent 5 year could look my ass up on the internet and see exactly who I am, where I've been, and the number people I removed from the Iraq and Afghanistan gene pool dumbass. Now kill urself

[css0317]

@cameraguy38 oh yeah, this country is already fucked with liberal pussies like you spouting off. It'll be my two kids and others like them that save it from your bitch ass kids because at the end of the day, Those that can't or won't kill, will always be subject to those that can. For your sake and the sake of those like you, you should just go ahead and pray that when my kids grow up, they honor the same values as me and continue to protect the sheep (that's you) regardless of the shit you talk

[cameraguy38]

@css0317 I rest my case. Thank heavens for natural selection.

[css0317]

@cameraguy38 whats it feel like waking up every morning knowing your a coward? do you have to fight the urge not to kill yourself. Make sure next time you see your parents, thank them for raising a fucking idiot. I admire how tough you are on the internet, wonder if you would have the same courage in front of a grunt?

[ubernathe]

@css0317 I am pretty sure he was making the same movement as the rest of them by moving from the hummer to cover but got hit on his way there. Instead of downtalking an incredibly brave journalist in a combat area with no weapon to defend himself, why not concentrate on the professionalism of the marine with the helmet cam. He saw someone in danger and just reacted and saved him. Nothing to be angry about here. I think he was incredibly calm unlike most war clips I have seen.

[css0317]

@ubernathe you can shut the fuck up too. Go play ur xbox games and watch clips from the sideline. By your comment I can tell you never been nor will be in combat, so keep ur ignorant comments to yourself. Go back to your parents basement and stick to making comments on shit you know, like world of warcraft or the "uber" new hot pocket flavor dumbshit.

[ubernathe]

@css0317 Don't have an xbox mate, don't play world of warcraft and I don't think they sell hot pockets here. Well I stated, calmly, that I felt the marines actions here were extremely professional and I felt he was incredibly calm in what is a highly stressful situation. You in turn spouted a torrent of nonsensical abuse. It is obvious the journalist was following the exact same path the marines and ANA had just taken when he was struck. He wouldn't be out there if he didn't know what to do.

[MethticalOD]

The taliban have ak's which are loaded with 7.62 rounds.. They are hardly cap guns. Probably the most durable weapon in the world. You can shove it into the dirt and it'll keep firing.

[saucon]

Do these guys even have any formal training? Its lucky the Taliban dont have anything more than cap guns.

[proteinator]

was he wearing dragon skin? i heard dragon something....

[MrKylemu1000]

My brother was a marine but what he said he saw he could never tells theses are horror films on real life situations. even though they look safe behind those things your never sure If it was me i'd look at the enemy fire a couple a shots and never come back up. So this doesn't mean i am a coward it means I don't wanna die while these brave soldiers fight for my safety thanks is all i can say i wish someday I will fight for this country tho not the right war but least I love my country. orahhh

[flowerlight]

What a brave and tuned in Marine and couragous Afghan unit too .THankyou for sharing the video

[muzeklijstje]

"Defending our freedom" I wonder how this has anything to do with "our freedom".

[ElectusAnimus]

Not a crack, but a wizz, so it had to be quite the distance to slow down, and the fucker sounded like it went between the soldier and the wall and hit the journalist. That's war for you.

[PiemanThe22]

Blurry screen, he must be suppressed.

[XxAdamJxX]

If only they knew that the real enemy is our very own government. Defending freedom? What freedom? The government is taking away our so-called "freedom" little by little. Now they're allowed to arrest whoever they want, send them to jail with no charges at all, or simply claim that someone is "missing" here at home. I appreciate that they think they're fighting for a just cause, but if you'd open your eyes, you'd see just how f*cked up the government you're working for really is :l

[DARIANSEAD]

@XxAdamJxX lol adam you are starting to sound like me, u beter stop hanging around me so much lol

[XxAdamJxX]

@DARIANSEAD I've always been against the government :p

[bibblemethis]

That's one hell of a shot. How far was the enemy? 3 or more clicks?

[slithersls]

@208dany1 not all people over there are terrorist. Most are civilians. We don't kill civies because if we did, the war would escalate. You want this war to get worse?! I know you don't.

[208dany1]

war war war i dont know about u guys but there a bomd called atomiccccccc bomd

use it and kill them all. disapear them its not a crime its self defence....

[stewiewantsbrianshog]

if he wasnt bleeding out why did he suddenly lose his will to live and just lay there? another retard saved by the marines. at least he was with the best.

[gunroard]

God bless, and god speed, for all our boys over seas.

[scuba3steve3]

Also, this is NOT what it is like for MOST men and ALL women. They don't do shit. They never get shot at. Don't fucking sit there and make a video and say shit that you think is right. Truth is only a fraction of non-Infantry members see action. Remember that.

[scuba3steve3]

This was US Army as well. Don't forget them.

[noahm56]

haha the Marine apologizes for dragging him, damn that's a good guy.

[xDvsking666x]

@noahm56 agreed xD

[Jarzard1]

That scared me when he fell...thought he died

[intel0199]

on 2:19 he did call for afghan soldier for RPG fire

[jdrpepper79]

lol@ all the trolls on this vid. Keep crying about US being bullies when your shithole country can't do shit to keep yourselves in check.

[evanescencee1]

şişko çocuk neden düştü acaba .bir yerini kurşunmu sıyırdı.

[reactri]

@xxxoutlawxxx1 K, COD boy, the soldiers know where the bullet was fired from the sound of the bullet and muzzle blast so they're all shooting in at general area. what are they supposed to do, idiot, just hide and not shoot back because they dont know who or where the sniper is and wait til the sniper picks each soldier off. you would do the same as them too. Its also not like a friendly sniper is going to shoot another friendly because theres USA humvees and uniforms everywhere.

[Xavierboii]

Damn that guy took off! What do u think his 40 time is?

[MrMagical69]

Who cares what all these dumb fucks are saying about the US, all i got to say is that all of the men and women of the armed forces overseas are heroes. God Bless the troops and bring them home safe

[lanious2]

this is happening all around the world , while we in america are ready for a lil black friday shopping and some reality show drama! ooorah!!!

[driveby14000]

fuck the taliban fuck the war

[HanafiMuslim1]

fuck america

ling live taliban

[mrkprice]

why do people write to fight for our freeddom that is not true as they are not able to invade us and take over the country or did I miss something????

[axeleon100]

the hardest battlefield on the middle east

[judith2260]

US MARINES ARE OUR HEREOS AS FREEDOM FIGHTERS THANKS TO THEM THEY SACRIFICES THEIR LIFES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO NEEDS FREEDOM GOD BLESS THE US MARINES

[parkourDrew4745619]

@judith2260 TALIBAN ARE HEROES AS FREEDOM FIGHTERS THANKS TO THEM THEIR COUNTRY REMAINS THEIRS THEY SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES AS THEY FIGHT THE COALITION FORCES WHO ARE INVADING THEIR LAND GOD BLESS THEM

[elhacko1]

@parkourDrew4745619 Your on youtube. No one cares

[parkourDrew4745619]

@elhacko1 An increasing number of people do.

[elhacko1]

@parkourDrew4745619 oh yea I'm sure there is. Hey by the way your "heroes" don't sacrifice they lie and cheat there way to get others to do it for them. cowards

[parkourDrew4745619]

@elhacko1 The US and UK media have dehumanized the Afghans so people don't fully understand and even hate them.

[elhacko1]

@parkourDrew4745619 Not really I've never seen anybody hate Afghans... I've just seen them hate the murderers, oops I mean Taliban. You must be stupid to fall for the stereotype that everyone in the west hates Afghanistan

[parkourDrew4745619]

@elhacko1 The Taliban are just defending their country. Some of the media make it look like our brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, fathers and mothers are dying for a good cause, they're not. I assume the Taliban are afghan, right?

Look, I hate the people who order the deaths, not always the people who fight the wars they make, most of them don't know enough.

[elhacko1]

@parkourDrew4745619 yea i think its all just pointless cause how i see it

coalition are in Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban but the Taliban want the coalition out of Afghanistan its stupid

[parkourDrew4745619]

@elhacko1 I agree with.

[popper504]

@parkourDrew4745619 The taliban are a radical islam from of goverment who behead your ass in heart beat for wearing a hat or looking "western". They want to impose Shariah law across the middle east and even if some parts of Europe

[parkourDrew4745619]

@popper504 Yeah but I can imagine they get brainwashed just like our soldiers.

I could imagine people join because the westerners are coming with guns and bombs.

[leathery420]

@judith2260 they arn't fighting for our freedom. they are fuckin fighting to cram democracy down the afghans throats with guns and the they just wan't to stay like tribes so its not going to work. you are doing the same thing russia did, they gave up. now the russians are doing it again in chechnya and it looks like the same thing will happen as with afghanistan. plus what freedom when were you invaded you have all the freedom in the world. that's why al-qaeda did what they did.

[parkourDrew4745619]

@leathery420 Much love

[leathery420]

@parkourDrew4745619 I'm not saying I'm support what the talibs do, it's just that both sides are shades of grey, both sides should stop pointing their guns at each other and point them at the old men who send them to their deaths for money and power. it's pointless.

[SamuelBengali2525]

6:25 wtf. was it taliban's bullet impact?

[LunaticFringe1955]

Americas POTUS is camel dung

[thepenisman22]

Its not only the US over there. Jesus, you didn't win every war by yourselves. Give other countries like Australia, Canada and Britain some credit alright? Without allies, the US would be nothing.

[Sigsauerification]

@thepenisman22 thanks fro, aus, but mate the war isnt very popular over here, we love our soldiers for fighting the good fight, but as far as we're concerned, this is your grave, so you guys can dig it yourself, mate. We dont want the blood of another vietnam on our hands.

[Lidadel]

@Sigsauerification It's not very popular in America either, we elected our president so he could pull these guys out asap.

[Sigsauerification]

@Lidadel has he done it yet?

[Lidadel]

@Sigsauerification Ya, took him forever though.

[WRXSubaru08]

@Sigsauerification Just so u know we didnt want to go to Vietnam either. We only went there to help out France who ended up taking off on us and leaving the fight to us. Also we dont want to be there anymore than u want ur troops to be there. Its not up to the soldiers where they get to go. They get orders and have to follow them thats just how being in the military works. Though u do have your rights. Also I thank Aussie soldiers for helping out. It was a pleasure hanging out with them in Iraq.

[Sigsauerification]

@WRXSubaru08 no france pulled out in 55 then the north and south split, the US steped in as the north started to push south towards the DMZ, fearing another communist take over, the US-lead coalition move in to halt the advance and reclaim the north. but you have to see things from our point, this war will make us a target, and the largest majority of the population are questioning if your countries security is worth our countries security, considering we have no prior interest within the region

[WRXSubaru08]

@Sigsauerification I understand that but honestly, it doesnt matter where you live. A terrorist will attack anyone at anytime. If your not a muslim your a target already. Thats just the way that they roll. But i do appreciate your country helping even though i agree that they shouldnt be there.

[colonelchris92]

@WRXSubaru08 yah. sig is right. we didn't go in until after the French had pulled out. Vietnam was their territory for a long time, then Ho Chi Minh came and ousted them. I give respect to him, because he fought to technologically advanced nations and caused havoc on both France and the United States. It was first in retaliation of the Gulf of Tonkin incidents, then to stop the advance of communism into a fellow democratic nation.

[shadowwolfHITSQUADtv]

@thepenisman22 excuse some of my dumb fellow americans . much respect for the brits, aussys , and candian allys.... the afgan forces tooo

[agage1026]

@thepenisman22

I actually met a lot of other soldiers from different countries in Afghanistan. Brit soldiers were by far my favorite, they were hilarious.

[xDvsking666x]

@thepenisman22 Not anymore xD but we love you guys don't worry

[gaminggalor]

@thepenisman22 nothing? we sure wouldnt be has strong but we would still be the toughest country in the world only china can match americas military power

[TheSoaDShreds]

@thepenisman22 this coming from the penis man lol

[bibblemethis]

@thepenisman22 That concept works both ways.

[19putte92]

@thepenisman22

And Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Finland and probably some french as well. There so many goddamn coutries involved so why can't the taliban just die...

[freestylmx311]

@19putte92

the terrorists will never "die" its a pre-planned never ending war

[19putte92]

@freestylmx311

yea right.... With what gain? Oil?! Where the hell is there oil in fucking afghanistan?!

[freestylmx311]

@19putte92

did I say a word about oil? Oil is a big part of it as the Elitists control what the price of oil does, but all of these wars are by design.

Watch, we will attack Iran right before the presidential elections and once that happens the arabs will block oil deportion driving the world into economic collapse, then the Elitists will open up the oil under alaska and usher in the new world currency backed by gold..its all one big NWO plan..just watch and also WAKE UP!

[19putte92]

@freestylmx311

Fuck you, I don't need to wake up to no bullshit conspiracy. And if it is true, what are you going to do? I always hear about people like you bitch and moan about how fucked up he world is and that the western world is one big masterpiece of conspiracy, but never about what anybody is going to do about it. You're all a bunch of vegan pussies!

I have spoken!

[mesohorny360]

@19putte92 i know exactly what you mean bro, what the fuck are they going to do!? I'm sick of seeing pointless debates about problem they don't intend on fixing them selves. If you're not going to take the initiative to do something (even though you wont be successful in doing so anyways) then just shut the fuck up and stop wasting everyone's time because it sure as hell is not getting you anywhere!

[19putte92]

@mesohorny360

Finally! I guy with sense on this bloody page!

[freestylmx311]

@mesohorny360

What people are doing is trying to get the truth out, what do you think they are to do? Go to war with or gov? They are doing the only think they can. Most of the time you have to find out for yourself whats true and whats bs. When someone says anything different then what the gov feeds you , you call them crazy "truthers" or whatever. Whats wrong with wanting to know the truth about what is going on? It involves you and all of us

[freestylmx311]

@19putte92

Im not saying anyone or anybody can do anything, all im saying is whats true. You like to live in a lie? Fine go ahead. Israel is in control of America and they are responsible for 911, but go ahead and keep on thinking some cave man flew some planes into them.

By the way Im no vegan and you are the pussy..u mad?

[19putte92]

@freestylmx311

Sooo... You're sayin' that a wannabe-honest "nation" that was founed in year 1948 filled with butthurt jews are in control of the western world... These guys can't even control their own fuckin' "nation" nor have peace with thier neighborus are in control? Man, I would feel sad for you, but I won't. And cavemen?! Do you even know anything about 9/11?! You are the mad one here.

btw, you gave yourself up by typing a troll-sentence. Ran out of arguments, that is.

[freestylmx311]

@19putte92

You go ahead and keep on believing that our gov tells you the truth about everything and cares so much for you. As far as calling me a troll because of that last sentence, you were the one with all the "troll"comments I was just returning your words back at you.

go USA!

[19putte92]

@freestylmx311

Who said I trusted the gov?? I know I sure as hell didn't. And I don't! Politicians are a bunch of greedy, fat, lying fucks. But all these ridicolus conspiracy-theories is just... ridicolus. And somewhat pathetic. And i never called you a troll, cuz you're not. You failed.

And don't really give as much as a flyin' fuck about USA. I'm a Swede.

[bigdog131000]

@19putte92 you'll be caring about the USA in catastrophe and we save your swedish ass.

[19putte92]

@bigdog131000

OH NO!!! You were offended that I didn't give a crap 'bout USA?!?! Now, why must I do that?? Idiot, We're nords, I think we can manage. You should think 'bout your own ass, dipshit.

[gabba1gabba1hey]

@19putte92 sorry but you arent vikings anymore, you let muslims dogs rape and murder your women and dont do shit about it. your ancestors are spinning in their graves.

[USAGamingMW2]

@thepenisman22 You can't base your views on some idiot that says the US is number 1 who hasn't be over there. I suggest you take back the comment "US would be nothing" I can assure you the guys who are actually fighting appreciate the help of our allies.

Oh its says at the start of the video, didn't see that.

And do you know if and how many troops they still have active in the Korengal?

Also just to add, i recommend you see the movie/doco "Restrepo" if you haven't already, it was filmed in the Korengal.

@Blackmomba253 In all fairness,I heard fighter pilots use the same motto when I was in the Air Force in the early 70's. I'm thinking all our badass soldiers use the same motto.
