3rd platoon Bco Korengal Valley (Firebase Vegas 08-09)

[TheJonnykane]

i love you

[MAJORLAWRENCE01]

where all the other OPs in the Korengal attacked as much as Restrepo. or do people just know about it cause of the movie?

[damnthevalley1]

@MAJORLAWRENCE01 yes it was very even. Restrepo got the most publicity simply because they had the worst living conditions in comparison to the other bases. But they also were able to rotate in and out of the korengal outpost for showers and good food, etc. every two weeks-month. Firebase Vegas did not.

[MAJORLAWRENCE01]

@damnthevalley1 thanks for the info, as well as your service! will be following in your footsteps hopefully.

[Tibbystarable]

Saw the documentary RESTREPO (named after the 1st KIA of a new deployment I think in 2007) in the Korengal. My first thought was 'what a goddarnawful place to get stuck in'. Remote valley on the Paki border surrounded by steep mountains. Those guys captured a place high up (Restrepo) and took fire constantly. Saddest part was that after some 50 KIA's in the Korengal, US forces were largely withdrawn in 2009. Makes the deaths of those guys, most of them kids, seem even more futile. Fucking war.

[KaUAiaNgRoWN89]

[GamingMusicVideos1]

bastards shot down the chinook. Were there any casualties?

[TheEvilAmerican]

@GamingMusicVideos1 Wasn't a Chinook, looked more like an ANA Mi-8.

[keithwong1411]

@GamingMusicVideos1 It was an Mi-8 or 17. Russian airframe, I'm guessing it belongs to the ANA.

[TheJonnykane]

yo son! 

[lampsy800]

[mrbelo284]

that just made my day to see that dude shoulder fire his 240 fuck yeahhhhhh!

[Iraalltheway34]

Whoever is shoulder firing that 240b is a fucking beast

[wariscomeing]

whats the name of the song at the end ?

[5965665]

lmao: "later"

[natedogg42]

@5965665 That was me! Looking back at it we should have had a platoon photographer.... all those times I was shooting and missed out on the BEST footage :(

[Mattchu508]

what is your mos and they guys you were with?

[fonzie209]

@Mattchu508 judging by their blue cords on 1st pic i'm going to have to say infantry

[ThatGuy571]

Anyone know the name/artist of the first song in this? Sounds pretty familiar but i can't place it.

[damnthevalley1]

@ThatGuy571 open road by slightly stoopid

[rangers11000]

@damnthevalley1

i served in helmand with the british light infantry.

[jasonmusche747th]

thats my boy sgt johnathen kane at 1:08 im glad tohave them home

[IPWNUinRL]

Love the javelin deployment while in pajamas, then the 7 kill streak at 4:15

[republicano19]

@IPWNUinRL

That's the problem of people... Afghanistan is not a f.u.c.k.i.n.g game.

Dont watch this video, go to play with your computer son

[IPWNUinRL]

@republicano19 Hey "son" if you can't find humor in fucked up situations, then you'll never survive in the real world. Thanks for playing.

[republicano19]

@IPWNUinRL

I have survived in the real world to things that you wouldn't imagine, and maybe next chrismas I will be also in Afghanistan (that I hope).

The piyama moment was fine (I think it too) , ¿but the comment about 7 kill streak?

Man, the names of the end of the video ¿Do you think they will "respawn" again? Show respect.

[IPWNUinRL]

@republicano19 I have nothing but respect for those on the front lines, and my comments are in support of their actions. I made no reference to the dead, stop taking fucking exception where there is none. Stay safe.

[KIDGLOCK2]

Thanks Young Blood for your service .

Best wishes for a peacefull New Year for you and yours !!!

[csbob2004]

rofl at the guy shoulder firing the 240...

[etowahlaxdude]

what ever happened to the bee's knee's(the mini b-hut in the hole) id like to know if its still there.

[damnthevalley1]

ya its still there..but the 4th ID guys that replaced us abandoned vegas and all the other outposts in the korengal except for the KOP.

[4jai2brons0n]

any survivors in the helicopter crash?

[damnthevalley1]

1 KIA(SPC. Dawson), 7 Wounded

[zodiac429]

whats the third songs

b-co 1-26 1st plt

[damnthevalley1]

hero of war by rise against

[TheDundeepieman]

what these men in the us/british and allies forces are putting up with across there is remarkable , they need far more troops across there to kick ass big time ..

[csbob2004]

more troops = more casualties and more civilian casualties...more civilian casualties mean more resentment and more taliban. If you've been to Afghanistan you would agree. It would take at least a million infantry to effectively inhibit the talibans freedom of movement in the mountains....

[Conservativepacheat]

MUCH RESPECT TO YOU ALL

[Sane24]

great video man...

[infidelforlife]

thank you for the video man  things i don't see on the news this is the only way we get to see footage of the war
