The PAt tilman thing is completely false as he was killed by "friendly fire" and the official story was covered up. Dunno when this was made but this show/episode is horrible, poorly produced, poorly researched garbage... Buncha History Channel flair.
@Mattboy2388 you would think the history channel would do the research thoroughly but seems they dont and try to re write history in their own image, yeah tillman was FF plenty good stuff out there about it, and it defo was not how this show says it went down.
@CheezeSlayer Because that would cost a couple thousand dollars in ammo and small missles to take care of the THREE taliban... When you could just as easily shoot them... Im sure air support has better things to do than care about 3 of them... Just sayin..
@ocweeman What, the life of a soldier isn't worth more than a couple thousand dollars? Why don't YOU go fight there and see if you'd call in air support.
@CheezeSlayer American soldiers aim, fire, and kill... It would take the Taliban a shit ton of luck to kill one of our guys.... There really wasn't need for air support... I believe our American soldiers are basically a shit ton better and dont need air support for such small of a fight
@WokFoodEntertainment I'm saying if that was me (being one of the marines) i would have tried to get them all myself not wasting time and money on a whole air support
@ocweeman probably me too, if I was a soldier, but I cant say anything before I have been put in the sitation. The sand blew up right in front of him several times, so I dont know
Good propaganda video but ALAS now your own commanders are admitting that they cannot win this war against Taliban. This war is unwinnable. Feeling so pity about that this propaganda is going to DUSTBIN.....Hahhaaha
@ugerWadi i think the word needed is ...shut the fuck up now one wants to hear you crap you stick with the taliban good luck with that beleave what you want to beleave but less of you bullshit ...have a good day and ''merry christmas''
Search "Nation's Second Highest Award Presented to Marine"
I watched that video a couple months back. It's a short video of an award ceremony for a Parris Island Drill Instructor who earns a Navy Cross for his actions in Afghanistan. His last name is Viggiani so I was pleasantly surprised to hear the name again here. I go back to check and realize "whoa, this is the same Marine."
@jamesmarshall49 ... wanna be americans? there is no such thing. nobody wants to be one. only the rich and famous variety do people fantasize about being
Our grand fathers loved calling in air suport are you joking lol Jesus man wake up you want some fair fight... Why ? Objective is not to fight hand to hand it's to kill them. Find them engage call in air fights over :) really wanna get mad go watch ac 130 gunships on action :) enjoy the a10s lol
they are trying to make the americans seem like heroes in a battle greatly in their favour, what makes a good soldier is valour and bravery and cunning intelligence, NOT CALLING AIRR SUPPORT ALL THE TIME!, i praise our grrandfathers, at least they fought an enemy who was their match
@adhiliqbal we have the advatge of better weapons and equipment but they have the advatge of always having the suprise,better cover (since they set up the ambush) we are also fighting in their country so they know the land they are use to the heat. also dont talk shit unless your 100% sure your not look up the rules of engament the air support as been cut back to the point where you cant even use it. and its costing lives
" The air/metal density was very high that day". My great grandfather said the same phrase about D-Day. On behalf of my grandfather, I'll accept any apologies from the Europeans who bash America. The Europeans "loved" the Americans. I and my whole family are a result of that love. Great gramma is french and great grandpa was German-American fighting against his own people for the good of humanity. He was also a translator and soldier but not fully trusted by the US. I miss you, wise grandfather.
I am/was taking issue with the use of the word snipers ... to the layman ... with the utmost respect to the Armed Forces of the USA but when the layman talks about snipers/snipering ... he thinks camping under camouflage waiting for a target of opportunity or a preassigned target... like the Russians trumping the Nazi in Stalingrad ...
air metal density index.....WTF!!!! why not say "heavy fire" or "Very Heavy Fire"!!! or something else other than a technically assessed description thats sounds so indoctrinated, military, stupid and superfluous! your a hero dude but your also a fuckhead!
You must be an expert tactician, perhaps you should spend your time commanding ground troops in Afganistan then Youtube. Don't worry the previous commander a imbecile high commander will recognize your excellent Helicopter fighting skills in no time.
If I was the commander I would have a put a sniper in there so the sniper would be able to get headshots from a safe range. This would have ended this shootout much sooner
I would use a Soviet pistol, when asked by superiors how you died i would say, previously unknown hostiles hid in a nearby trench line, unknown to us and shot you from the side which accounts for the close range of the shot. The hostiles then retreated to a nearby hill and were out of sight.
rpg can be used from multiple directions... in case of an ambush...its not like that Taliban one only have 1 rpg. If not an rpg another form of a rocket can easily cause severe damage and casualties. Since there was only one chopper involved it was better for foot troops to give chase and the chopper cud keep eyes on the horizon.... in Afghanistan the terrain is not the ideal for chopper combat either.
this is disgusting propaganda
