  • Much much much respect for all in the video

  • I bet Tyrone's wife feels like shit for leaving such an awesome man behind.

  • After looking at them and there body language..they look very fatigued ..emotionally..as if there souls worn out.

    I guess seeing so much blood and death for such a long time does that to a human.

    jihadis dont even flinch when they see people dies ..fking cattle.

  • People like Tyrone inspire me ! God bless him, and makes him happier just like how happy the families of the people that he saved !

  • Tyrone is one amazing man. This video is top of the line and it really impresses me to see the Americians help all not just their own! Wonderful story, makes me most proud of my nephew that just came home from Germany and is now assigned right where he wanted to be on a Medevac!

  • That crew chief is totally hyperventilating the Afghan soldier at 19:28... slow down on that BVM, man!

  • DUSTOFF! Great job on the video

  • may i ask why they are taken to germany?

  • @ornapache Some of the top Trauma Centers in the world were in Iraq and Afghanistan, but they don't have enough beds to keep the patients there. Germany is the closest trauma center for the troops and they have the capabilities to provide long-term care. It's a top of the line facility with additional care in rehabilitation.

  • @TriageBAE Thank you for actually taking the time to explain it ;)

  • Tyrone is a true HERO Semper Fi!

  • angels on wings Semper Fi

  • omg both legs lost, it's so sad.

  • I'm a crewchief in a Medevac unit in Afghanistan. This is one of the best videos I've seen on what we do. Great job showing what we do here.  And HooAh to all the flight medics, crewchiefs and pilots who get the job done 24/7 all within a 15 minute take off and back down within that golden hour.

  • Damn I was one of the marines in the first med evac, never thought it would be on youtube

  • what a inpsiring man..

  • Afghans are DOGS!

  • Tyrone, is a real true human being to the bone

  • Semper Fi!

  • CHECK THE WHITE BOY IN THE DRIVERS SEAT! MY BROTHER IS A MEDEVAC PILOT IN AFGHANISTAN RIGHT NOW! PLEASE PRAY FOR MY BROTHER AND THE REST OF OUR SOLDIERS FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY! GOD BLESS!

  • Al Jazeera endorsing and covering imperialist army, sad

  • @zhengiszen you're sad

  • @johnnyfranks67 Hello Johnny ! Yes, I am and somewhat angry. And you where do you stand on the state of this injust and corrupt world ? Thank you for your input

  • @zhengiszen please go back to a dictionary, look up what imperialism means, and compare that to what america is doing in the middle east

  • My husband's gonna be deploying for just this job come October. He said he was hoping I hadn't seen this. I'm glad I have - thank you for giving me better insight into what he'll be doing, and thank you to the good people doing the hard work there now.

  • Die Dokumentazion scheint aber spannend zu sein!

  • Na geh... Das ist ja in englischer Sprache... Gibt es das auf deutsch auch?

  • Why other NEWS ORGANISATIONS don't show us this reality ?

  • Books like The Kite Runner and Afghan Hearts & Minds make people more aware of the great country of Afghanistan. Just the same, this kind of video allows us to understand more about what's truly going on.

  • i feel sorry for the guy who just lost both his legs at 3:25....

  • I'm one of the pilots who flies MED EVAC and it's not always a pretty picture out there. But it's a necessary job that I do gladly and yea, our flight medics are the absolute life line of any patient we pick up!

  • @armyflyer66 if you are who you say you are, a massive thanks from a brit soldier. you guys are fucking awesome and would come out when our own MERT's wouldn't. i love you guys!

  • Hooah, flight medics. Love those guys. Got a bit of an ego sometimes, but still, lol

  • I applied to nursing school because of this video. I hope to be as half the medic these guys are one day.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ixastophanis me too :) but not because of this vid :)

  • @SuperJohnnyjumper Well it wasnt ONLY because of this vid. :P But it pushed me over the edge.. :)

  • @Ixastophanis :) thats really nice man :) i think medics are the real heroes of the battlefield :)

  • @SuperJohnnyjumper Yup! :) we'll see if I don't change my mind after 3 years of studying with only girls though. maybe I'll actually end up nursing at a hospital. :P

  • @Ixastophanis yeah :D thats true, but you can still become a paramedic and save lifes in your own country :D

  • @SuperJohnnyjumper Started school to be a nurse 5 weeks ago btw. :D It is awesome!

  • @Ixastophanis i will start tomorrow :D its freaking me out :D

  • @SuperJohnnyjumper Nice! :D The first bit of advice I got from some 2nd year students were "Hang in there. The teachers will try to break you" :P It's almost all theories and writing and stuff our first year, apart from 8 weeks of practical work in the end of our 2nd semester. It'll be worth it once I jump out of an ambulance or a helicopter though. :P

  • "I love human life. Nothing's better than human life. Whether they're your enemy or not. Life is life. You can't give life back. You can take life, but you cannot replace life."

    Much respect for what they do and the risks they take to save lives.

  • why we must we die for the corporatist all for profit and not care bout u

  • 21:42 truly powerful scene

  • Much respect

  • truly amazing human beings to do this, heart goes out to them all.

  • Hero

  • FUCK, im all teary now.

  • Better material from Al Jazeera on American troops than anything in the last 5 yrs from CNN or equivalent.

  • @MrGrassam

    I agree)

  • I lost it at 21:43 when the marine jumps on top of the wounded guy and starts pumping on his chest, especially that we already know that he's a goner.

    Goddamn war.

  • @ProZackBoy That wasn't a Marine

  • @ProZackBoy That was powerful scene, but it was a Army medic not Marine/Corpsman.

  • @ProZackBoy Those are Army medics, not Marines, unfortunately most of the wounded were the Marines.

  • sum1 stop chopping onions!

  • Semper Fi Marines

  • Thank you Sgt. Jordan

  • They are angels.

  • Comment removed

  • People like Tyrone gives me the hope for humanity back.

  • Sgt Jordan and others in this film, I fail to find the words to express my respect for you and the work you do. Thx forever.

  • This totally didn't flare up any PTSD or anything.

  • No matter what your point of view on the war is, you can't see these guys as anything but heroes.

  • Angels on our shoulders....

    You guys are heroes.

  • These guys are saints

  • Great documentary. 

  • In a world where we through around the word "hero" we have deadened the meaning. This is what a HERO is - who cares how you feel about this war - these guys deserve to be celebrated, to be recognized, honored. Sgt Jordan, Thank you.

  • Sgt Jordan, you are a true warrior. I am a retired 1SG now but was a flight medic with the 207th air ambulance in Desert Storm we also used the Black Hawk. God Bless You, what you do and stand for.

  • Thank you for making this video. I was down there in that dusty hell doing that job not too long ago. This brings back good and bad memories. Medevac will always be a double edge sword. Thank you gentlemen for being humble professionals.

  • Our Young Men are over there fighting for our freedom as well as the people who have been bread,and born just to kill us and others! My heart just hurts so bad to see what our brave young men are fighting for and dying for!! May GOD BLESS THEM as they go about thier mission of DUTY and HONOR for our Country, I pray for thier safe return home! Because over there this is thier way of life, we cannot change that!!! They were born to kill!!!

  • @SuperDonna54 BRED to kill... Not born... And despite what you have been told they are NOT fighting for your or anyones freedom. My heart goes out to every life wasted in this and all other wars... And to those who really believe that invading other countries is going to make this world a safer place: New Bin Laden's are created every time innocent people are killed....

  • @z3r0Projects

    and new warlords take power every time we don't do anything... catch 22?

    No.

    Fight smartly, avoid civilian casualties, rather let 5 talibans in a car get away for the moment than risk killing 1 civilian...

    We'll get our chance on the Talibans again, the civilian will remain dead.

  • @RQBBAN I would totally agree with you if the purpose of the US led invasions were really to free the people of those countries, but the rich men that made these decisions DON'T CARE about anything but money and power.

  • @z3r0Projects

    That's always a problem... I for my part feel that even if some scumbag gets money and control, it's still a few steps better than another scumbag frenzying about killing people...

    One scumbag on wallstreet is better than 5 in the jungle ;)

    Of course that's very individual, and I believe most soldiers don't think that way... (most of my colleagues dont).

  • @RQBBAN I agree with the point you made about 5 taliban fleeing is better than a civilian casualty, but not about one scumbag on wallstreet. 5 thugs don't make decisions that affect the rest of us; one asshole politician does.

  • These guys have a noble job rescuing people's lives under fire. And that's great they treat not only coalition forces, but also civilians and Taliban forces. There's nothing more precious than a human life and piece.

    I just felt sorry for those men, who have to fight each other because some "glorious" leaders made a decision on who is an enemy and who is not.

    For them these soldiers (who can be just kids really) are plain numbers. While for these medics each one is a precious human being.

  • Amazing video. The medic featured (Tyrone Jordan?) Is a true hero. 

  • Impressive! Those guys helped out the German ISAF troops as well. True Pros! All respect to them!

  • True Pros. No regard for politics, or anything except doing their jobs.

    Too bad our political leaders and the rest of the country who votes them in can't live up to the class, professionalism and bravery shown by the US Military.

  • Comcast, ATT isn't it about time we got Al Jazeera on cable??? Never see this kind of stuff or CNN, FOX or MSNBC!

  • @stayyoungmyfriends I totally agree. I fear that the stigma attached to Al Jazeera might prevent that from happening, which is truly unfortunate. Al Jazeera is by far the best news source for what is happening in the middle east and north africa.

  • Unless your son is on a battlefield, you should not be entitled to vote on whether your country shall go to war.

  • @RachelBartlett golden words. If mothers all over the world decided whether or not to go to war, we would all live in a much better place.

  • those idiots should stay at home. imperialism does not deserve any kind of mercy.

  • @Clllllllllllllll You did see them treating insurgents, bombmakers and civilians, yeah?

  • @Clllllllllllllll leave your ignorant thoughts in your mind

  • Heroes.

  • Is there any more of this?

  • My heartfelt "thanks" goes out to the Angel Soliders Medivac! Without knowing it, this video confirmed what in my soul I already knew. Every fiber of each individual who came into contact with my son gave their all to save him. He had the same injury as the soldier in this clip did - sniper hit-bled out from bullet bouncing inside and severing heart. It was hard to watch because the young man looks similiar to my son, but rewarding to see first hand all is done to save our boys. God Bless!

  • 21:42 gave me chills.

  • 21:42 that was intense.. it made me cry =[

  • Great guys. Whatever they earn, ist not enough.

  • Something a lot of people should see. Posted it a few places.

  • The President and Halliburton say: "Thank you Soldier, you are a hero!"

  • landstuhl hospital was the home to the wounded warriors. i was proud of my classmates for going to help them. they were changed by what they saw

  • this black man is the pinnacle of his race. all people should strive to be as useful as that doctor/medic.

  • @theliberator1 This man race is not what has shaped him, it's the values instilled by his family and the Army. His achievements are available to anyone who has the determination to try in a place he and I call home, which is the United States Of America.

  • @theliberator1 He is a shining example of an individual. Regardless of his race. And to imply that he is an exception amongst 'his race' (since race is a social construct that has nothing to do with genetics) is just plain ignorant.

  • @theliberator1 He's not the only black man contributing to society.

  • OMG. Did they died? :(((

  • 21:44 was soo powerful

  • It's a fucking war, what the fuck do you expect? People die. Shut the fuck up and stop complaining

  • This ain't no war, this is just military conflict...

  • Do people die in war? :(((

  • @Lozian OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO

  • @bigbob572 I know bro, people around here doesn't seem to know that tho.. bad things happens when people blow eachother up, this should not be news to anyone.

  • In war, people die. That's the whole IDEA of it.

  • When a country goes to war, people get wounded and people die.

    You can't expect to fight any war without sustaining casualties.

    Don't complain or whine, it's a fact.

    If you don't want casualties, you don't go to war DERP.

  • Thank you for your service.

  • I watch this, then I watch Collateral Damage (The youtube vid).. I feel sorry for the average grunt on the ground who loses an arm, a leg or his/her life.

    But then I hear accounts of Americans (and others) wantonly killing innocent's without pause because they've been trigger-happily turbocharged with the ideological patriotic notion that they can do no wrong.

    I wish America would figure out a way of helping without all the innocent casualties. Sad business.

  • @lacerta999 you hear a very biased side if thats what you think. If a military personnel is not 100% justified in their reasoning to kill someone then they will under go a court marshall and most likely be charged with murder. and another thing, females arent allowed to be grunts. even though they do get hurt, they mostly work in offices and on the bases behind the walls.

  • @drugsizbad Watch collateral murder, its a video on youtube. It happens all the time, trigger happy Americans sitting on computers hundreds of miles away, raining down death and destruction on innocent people.

    Then realize that none of the men involved with Collateral Murder ever went to court or jail, even though they killed 11 innocent people, including 2 kids (Which were visible in the car). The reason I have my opinion is based on the evidence of heinous war crimes perpetrated my America.

  • @lacerta999 - the two kids were injured, not killed. And the shooting was done from a helicopter, not from hundred of miles away.

    And while I don't agree that the men who did this operation should go to court, I do believe the men who sent them there and gave them this "job" should see their day in court.

  • Too bad Justin Bieber and Lady manman are 9000x more popular than these real heroes here.

    Very repulsive indeed. I can't stand to hear or see any fan of those artists.

    Makes me puke. Thanks for this great work Al Jazeera.

  • Never can I watch something like this and not think about the friends I have that are or will be getting involved in such things. It makes me both sad and angry.

    War is disgusting, and everyone should see these videos.

  • If you are talking shit and haven't been there or done that, you are wrong. History is being made daily by our military and all you can do is worry about what you are going to spend money on next and that you don't have enough of it. Do us a favor and leave the real world business to us.

  • Nice piece Al-Jazeera and kudos to Vaughan Smith for this incredible and eye-opener film.

  • do the war-mongering elitists care? NO!

  • All the arrogant people talkin' trash, pro war supporters who sit at home cozy, feminist who claim women are superior, douches who play war games on Xbox and PS3 need to watch this.

    Then maybe they'll have more respect for Soldiers at War. REAL WAR!!!

  • 473 views???? really? thats it? there is more people in congress, and this should be mandatory viewing for EVERY member of congress before they vote on the war budget.

  • @posimosh

    Sadly, people up there don't know very much about us grunts down here, and they don't try very hard to find out either...

    Yet, they decide.

  • @posimosh it should be mandatory to go to war before being able to be in congress :)

  • Comment removed

  • Instead of making this much effort for saving person life why cant they make an effort to destroy all the companies which produce weapon.

    Ask yourself why they make this weapon and for whom?

    To kill human being nothing else and the company make money from human getting killed, How stupid is that.

  • @undecided33 There are no dangerous weapons; only dangerous people. As long as life exists, there will be those who profit from the ability to kill others.

  • SHUT UP MOTHER ! Who ever shot a medeevac helo you should be ass raped for life!

  • @alizaijan you ignorant ass

    While I stand against america's genocide's that 'black man' is an honourable good person saving lives. Give credit where credit is due.

  • @alizaijan Do you realize that Race is not the issue here?

    It's about power and control.

    The elite that control most of the world could care less what color you are unless it effects their ability to gain more power and control without having to do any of the actual dirty work involved in that power gain.

    Race only matters to the rest of us and only because we want it to matter for some stupid reason.

  • @alizaijan why must it be a white mans war? would you be complaining if you were dying and the person that come to save you is not a white man? ill be that "stupid black" (to quote you) would still do his best to save your worthless #%$#^& pretty sure i wouldnt, as you wouldnt want me to. because im not a good enough race for you #LOL

  • @alizaijan there is no white or black, only human.

  • My government is nothing but a group of leaders that are terrorists

  • "no morphine, just two tourniquets "

  • @workingclasssociety

    "Never give a second dose of morphine to a person who is breathing 12 or less times a minute. Never give morphine to an unconscious person."

  • Thank God for Medevacs

    God bless you all out there

  • See, the good movies aren't made in Hollywood

  • angels amidst the madness. My heart goes out to you guys!..The atrocities experienced are leaving me speechless and deeply troubled....My thoughts and prayers for those suffering and for humanity's evolution.

  • @benoitrobert63

    Angels don't exist lol.
