Marcus Luttrell: A Sense of Unity

[fiddlefolk]

Thank you Marcus! I know you have nightmares about that mission but people like us sleep easy at night because there are men like you who keep us safe! We do appreciate it regardless of the nay sayers and the liberal media. We know who has our backs......!

[Alv1nBlack]

Reading this book and it is amazing. The amazing things he's done amazes me

[SoCalStudios]

"You see somebody fight that hard... Makes life seem pretty easy you know.. " I was moved at that point.

[OutdoorsDave93]

Read it twice! (the book)

[poopapable]

wow at 5:04, got really moved, he is a true hero



[1993ECS]

The last line he says, which starts at 5:04, really made me take a look at all the BS i'm always complaining about. Got teary eyed too

[bigswolletx]

i ordered the audio book!! awesome

[skatebladez06]

"And we wreck everything. They don't give us stuff like that." Funny guy, even during tough times.

[victorblaer]

@skatebladez06  haha

[juanitto4700]

He doesn't like that "Hero" title, he's a true man.. he's an american patriot.

[GodSquadMandrake]

People like this give me hope for America.

[48memorex]

just ordered the book. waiting like a kid on Christmas for it to get here : )

[etalonmireles]

A man of special skill !

[sutton123454]

I'm Canadian and i love our allies, i really want to buy this book.

[lilsk8erbro]

"At no time during the entire gunfight did we think we were gonna lose" That's as hardcore as it gets man. This guy is my inspiration to be a SEAL.

[ryderx3x3]

OORAH LUTTRELL! 

[Crosswalknorway]

Honestly.... I'm speechless, all I can say is thank you... To Marcus, and to the 19 people that died there (3 in his team 16 in rescue attempts).

Thank you.

[rhcp4565]

a divine hero

[knipe20]

I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus today at Carmine's in NYC. To say he is a humble man is an understatement. He came over to my table and sat right across from me, and as we were talking he said "I cannot believe that this many people actually want to come eat with me and hang out with me...All I did was my job, what I was supposed to do". It's touching to know that heroes like Marcus do exist...I'd give this guy the shirt off my back.

[reubenswann]

I've read your book....good stuff. Thank you....you are a great American...That said...I know you....I know your shipmates. Your Fathers....Marcus....speaking engagements? What would Senior say to that, Shipmate?

[Go5ooh]

dAMMIT, i WISH i COULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO HELP BROTHER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE...GOD BLESS!!!

[dannya1209]

I bought the book when i visiting the USS Midway in San Diego. Read it with haste and did not miss a single word. I NEVER read. great book. made think about some liberal qualities I have and definitely affirmed my admiration for the SEALs.

[aligerous]

Luttrell is a USDA, Grade- A,classic representation of the best of America.  Thanks to Marcus and his teammates.

[Zujoicus]

where is this full speech? i want to hear the entire thing!!

[CollegeDisaster0]

This is the best book i have ever read and its inspired me to become a seal just like marcus and his fallen brothers

[LilATL94]

Navy SEALs aren't just a Special Operations unit. They are a brotherhood or even more than a brotherhood.

Marcus is one great man and the rest of his team.

[eLpeach]

Marcus let it be known that when I need a pick me up I watch a video of yours and a smile comes across my face.

[Demo9237]

How can I see this entire video?

[67DieHardPatriot454]

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

Hooyah Sailor, Hooaah From the 3/75th!

Wish those QRF Most likely MEU or Ranger Teams could of got to you guys.

[aralm23]

I want to shake this man's hand, he's a true American...if we were all like him, how different the world would be...

[1diesel1]

this guy has no right to be humble......this man is a true hero.

[MilitaryERRN]

and that's how the best are made..........Glad you made it back.......

[Methadonor1]

as a soldier that has had to lose close friends. i can honestly say that i cried reading his book. when i read the part about Axel. how they found him when they recovered the body. i had to put the book down. thats some tough stuff. hey Marcus, if you ever read this comment. thank you. sorry your fame had to happen because of such messed up business. this guy is from around the same parts i grew up. i might see him someday by chance someday. that would be pretty cool.

[fireball676]

Yep, this book made me think....im going to go into the navy to become a seal. It makes you think when you know that you are going to be face to face in situations that demand the most of human condition...conditions that are so sinister that only the peak of the human race can survive to fight. I am going to have shoes bigger than i can imagine to fill when i get there. Scary thought.

[retardfried]

embrace it

[CareyH316]

@fireball676...Don't quit!!

[anarchyrealm]

@Methadonor1 I am very fortunate to have met Marcus just today. It was really an honor to have shook his hand and he was cool enough to sign my book that I had purchased today as well. I hope to one day be at least 1/4 the man this guy is.

[fideles08]

I've finish reading his book "Lone Survivor" at Christmas eve. While reading his book, I was crying and never stop crying all the way to Christmas eve. I didn't know youtube is full of Marcus Luttrell video. To hear him talk on video, has great impact on me. I feel good I can sleep well at night knowing there are men like Marcus who'll give their all to keep me safe. God bless you Marcus, God bless all our men and women in uniform. Thank you very much for your service and for keeping me safe.

[aligerous]

All around great human being.

[paintdataint]

Man i feel bad for this guy. Knowing just the basics of Navy SEALS, the bond they form with eachother is more than brotherhood. He would throw away his title as a hero in a heartbeat just to get his men back, and thats what makes SEALs so great.

[NavySEALshooyah]

HOOYAH!

[classical193]

this guys why i want to be a navy seal jalyn

[USNavySEALs34]

Me too

[sarge1799]

He is tough like that. He is my neighbor and this did happpen!

[gambs44]

Thank you Marcus. For what you did over there for us, and for talking about it publicly to keep their memories alive and showing the world the ideals and freedom as Americans proclaim loudly isn't false rhetoric, but a virtue by which our fighting men live.

[morelltechyahoocom]

What a true inspiration

[MaxiBoOoY]

I think alot of ppl look on what he looks like nd how he talks....sometimes how person looks gives false judgement.......bastards

[JakeSEAL9]

Marcus is a true American Heroe

[hallywood171]

Notice at the very end when the crowd starts to applaud he immediately places himself in the shadow. That's what is called humility,...All heroes possess that trait, and he is one hell of a hero.

[cellardoor199991]

This guy is actually a decent public speaker. Not bad at all. I've many people in the public eye speak and sometimes it just doesn't cut it.

[SEALHopeful28]

Hes better than a decent speaker

[j4528]

support Marcus and watch his new show on the outdoor channel... it's called Beretta's Wild and Raw....check it out

[sjerseyb856]

i can never get tired of hearing him speak

[SEALHopeful28]

Oh My God.. This Guy is amazing. I have THE most respect for him and his team. Really his hard fought battle with him and his teammates just truly is just... i cant even put it in words. God Bless you and your team...

[apache0987]

I completely agree. I just finished the book, and it was by far the greatest peice of writing i've read. On top of that, it's all real. This man and Danny, Axe and Murphy are all heros, including the other fallen SEALs.

[iceveiled]

If you haven't read his book you need to. It'll make you think twice about complaining about having a "bad day at the office". Mr. Luttrell is a true hero with an unbreakable spirit. Thanks for your service and RIP all fallen SEALs.

[TramoRecon]

Words from a true warrior,thank you sir.

[jrsprenklec]

you know how people have their heros. Some say it their parents, some say its their fav. team, or player. But for me, its this guy. Marcus Luttrell, Danny Dietz, Matt Axelson, and Michael Murphy and the other 16 KIA in the mountains.

This book has been the best book, eye opening reading I own. This book is a must read.

[jd575]

If you have not read the book Lone Survivor, you are at a loss. This is one of the very FEW books I have read that has given me goose bumps. PS I read a lot of military stuff as well as others.

[arkguy19]

i know what u mean. i never read, but recently i started reading this book to pass time on a road trip. i got goose bumps several times. it really shows what these guys do for us.

[andromada9132]

ive never watched a military video on youtube without there being negative comments until now. im glad people are realizing that we have a military doing what needs to be done and that there are still heroes to do it.

[losingsanitylol]

I've read their story (Lone Survivor) 5 times. I still cannot stop my grieving. I wasn't there but I feel like I have a connection. I want to drive up to his house and give him an endless hug, but I know he doesn't want that. May God Bless him and his fallen friends. Amen.

[mosacman14]

Great book from a great American hero I bow my head for those fallen SEALs.

[ChrisIIIcube]

God bless Marcus Luttrell!

A Great Texan...

An American Hero.

[GoArmyRangers2009]

Marcus Luttrell is my hero but not just him, Michael Murphy, Matthew Axelson, Danny Dietz, and all the men who have died in the Middle East i'm going into the service myself i love you guys

[beyondbeautybybeth]

Marcus Luttrell is an amazing person. His book, "Lone Survivor" is being released again on April 28th on Amazon....mine is already on order and I can't wait to get it!

[MuffinMahn]

great book

[polarisboy444]

best book eva

[gpackwood1]

MovieDude said

...I wonder what means about the tie-dye tanks, etc...does he mean the SEALs know how to party or something?

::

Navy Seals move FAST...and are not tied down with any heavy equipment ever. They don't know what to do with heavy equipment except perhaps...party.

He is the real deal. A true American hero.

[PACAL2012]

made me shed a tear too-

[moviedude22]

I wonder what means about the tie-dye tanks, etc...does he mean the SEALs know how to party or something?

He is SUCH a badass!!!

[PBlover14]

I want to meet Marcus someday wether Im a SEAL or not.

Lone Survivor probably changed my life for the better

R.I.P. Operation Redwing members

and god bless the dead and living SEALs and other armed forces

[TheDeciTage]

Wow. I was reading this. And I was almost getting to a part, where I was thinking, how in the hell could it get worse. Get this. This was when Danny was shot in the neck. Thats not even through of half of the terror and hell he went through. Falling of a mountain, being sniped in the leg and falling down a mountain. Not being able to speak because he needed water. Wow this is one of hell of a guy and too meet in person would be amazing.

[richg58921]

i am not a reader but when i picked up this book yesterday i couldnt put it down. i read 150 pages yesterday and this book is so detailed and so emotional. God bless you marcus and rip matt axelson, michael murphy, and danny dietz.

[Elzroth]

I do not believe anyone who loves their freedom can read this book and not shed more than a few tears.

[29thID]

Amen...

[samstx532]

this book is so moving. i shed more than a few tears reading it.

[FlightSimulatorXATC]

This book is the only one to ever make me cry. America needs more people like Marcus, Danny, Ax, and Mikey. Keep doing what you do Marcus. You have served your country proudly.

[hoyt19use]

Marcus, as well as Danny, Ax, and all the others are true American heros.

[n8vySEALspwn247]

dont forget bout dan,shane,murphey, shu, kristensin and so many others!

[Nightscream21]

I will be picking up this book. True heroes.

[kibo1976]

Hey Bro, All of us in Texas are proud of ya'll tell morgan Kibby says hello!

[Americanbeast14]

I cried when I read this book

[greg0rius]

Join the club... I cried about 10 times...

[wolfgang2570]

most inspiring book i've ever read.

[bztheman]

ditto

[Herps85]

agreed best book i have ever read.

[waffen2]

he is a true warrior and a hero. one tough guy

[Americanbeast14]

yeah, he's a real dude

[Oxstayne]

@waffen2 You'll so is EVERY soldier.

[CAPRISUN441]

Best story I ever read, will make a great movie someday.

[SCxTrojan1]

yes sir its coming out sometime next year.

[wipebetter]

I hope they do. Thats what I thought when reading the book.

[SCxTrojan1]

yep, i read up on it a few weeks ago, it should be out summer/fall of 2009. from what ive heard the movie is a go but the navy does have the authority to terminate it if the film company does a bad job

[n8vySEALspwn247]

they should b able to!

[Ballbagcrusher2007]

Best book i have ever read and i have read them all, think blackhawk down by mark bowden then multiply it 100 times.

I also heard they might be making a film about Roberts Ridge the battle for Takur Ghar during Operation Anaconda when Navy seal Neil Roberts fell out of a chinook into the hands of Al queda and the rescue attempts after it which claimed 7 more lives.

Another highly recomended book "Roberts Ridge" by Malcom MacPherson.

[dvfball33]

True American Man right there.

[bigballin20111]

BEST BOOK EVERY FUCKING WRITTEN

[xyz8909]

i heard the lone survivor is made into a movie. when will it come out?

[waffen2]

tip of the spear, brother. god bless you and your fallen brothers

[gwl1972]

the book is a awsome story about 4 heros who faced 150 shit heads and thats almost 35 shit heads to 1 seal and they kicked some ass. marcus is a hero!!!!!

[adomsky121]

i read the book and was blown away, makes me wish i was a american instead of english!

the part about all the people turning up to suuport his family when he was MIA was amazing, we never get any thing like than over here, and thats why this country is going down the toilet.

[GoldenAura16]

Yea, we Americans will do anything we possible can to bring just a single man home.

Marcus, a salute to you sir.

[dvfball33]

dude you can move here you know we're a nation of immigrants.

[EveryMn]

Join the SBS or something, eh?

[sgtadamdee]

amazing story, somebody we can all look up too

[chulo113]

true warrior.

[mayhemlee]

marcus, if you're out here reading these posts, i hope to meet you someday you're a freakin inspiration my friend......

[nitedrive]

I'm reading the book now. Excellent.

Can also recommend "Warlord" by Ilario Pantano, the Marine who was falsely accused as Col. Chessani currently is being accused.

Guys like Luttrell, Pantano, Chessani and Col. Allen West (currently running for congress in FLA) are the real America. God bless them.

War sucks and should be avoided. But I am glad men like this exist when fighting is necessary.

[lajollafire]

thank you for your brilliant commentary. CINC made the rules of engagement - and for these guys, ROE wasn't the problem - obtuse statements like yours disparage what these guys were fighting for. (17 years Navy, 13 in NSW - still serving)

[Transamstance]

He's also mentioned in the book THE WARRIOR ELITE, by Dick Couch. It follows BUDS class 228.

[cruisergirl]

Read the book!

[Coltsin06]

This dude is a hero...read the book.

[BlazinHotSauce]

Amazing story, and I'm not even done with the book yet.

[suprhwk]

Go Navy

[Hadrian44AD]

I met him yesterday. Great man. Great SEAL.

Very humble and humourous.

He said he was going to attend medical school.

[provenzero]

I just finished the book. I sat still for 5 hours to finish it, it had my eyes welled up and my heart aching. The guys of operation redwing are all heroes

[wiggyman1]

I have been planning to join the Special Forces since I was 11 years old. When I read Marcus's book, I was sure that was what I was going to do.

[desertrogue13]

What an amazing man. U r in my prayers daily since I read Lone Survivor. A quote that will go down in history.."I won't ever quit...u see someone fight that hard, makes life seem pretty easy."

[desertrogue13]

Prayers out to Marcus and all surviving family members and friends of SEAL Team 10. Thank you for giving the ultimate sacrifice for our country! "When you see someone fight that hard...makes life seem pretty easy." A quote to go down in the history books in my opinion!

[rocks5598]

Americas best! Thank you!

[drivingat0200]

awesome

[aflack]

Please allow embed of this video! It is a great video and I have met him twice and he is the great man he makes himself out to be!

[martino984]

This guy is incredible. I would be curious to know how he escaped when he was being held hostage by the enemies. It's unbelievable how he still alive and well with all the shit he's being through, of course i'm really glad that he's fine. He really is a hero and a badass cause Navy Seals are fucking tough.

[bjstarrz]

his book is amazing, he's a hero, great role model for teens

[musicfreak115]

seriously..i just finished the book today....WOW...

[n8vySEALspwn247]

i got him to talk on my sixteenth birthday

[LongLiveThePersia]

what did he say?

[signoutsam]

had a few tears not much..

[dropemdead]

So did I.

[jakeap89]

Read the book it's great. I cried.

[scarface333666]

he never 'quit' the SEALs and explicitly states that he never quit anything. He stayed active in the SEALs for the rest of his service length even while he still had lower back problems from a broken back and wrist problems from being tortured

but he never quit

[scottwilliams83]

I dont think he quit because in his book he talks about going on another mission and his brother was with him on the ending mission. But i'm almost %100 sure he didnt retire right away.

[alkayda101]

is he still an active navy seal?

[jcraider31]

I have an interview in my profile and he says to the reporter that it wasn't his choice to leave the military. Not sure the reason he never mentions why but he makes it clear it wasn't his choice to get out.

[KATHYKA215]

It's hart to explain what I'd felt reading your book and finally seeing you for real. As I was reading suffering with you the whole thing, I'd have to stop for seeing your picture, because it's really a miracle all that you passed thrue and still you are alive.

sometimes God give us missions beyond our understanding and in another field different  from that one we choosed. Don't be sad Marcus, your dead friends are fine and thankful to you for telling us this valuable and brave real story.GBY

[08bballFMHS]

you are a true hero my friend. thank you for everything you did and i'm sorry for your friends.

[STHILTHUSQY]

THANK YOU markus HOOOOOOOOOA! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MY FRIEND!

[92naz32]

Semper Fidelis SEAL team 10.

[geeselouise]

I just finished reading the book last night. What an amazing story of amazing Men. If you get the book, just make sure that when you get to about page 210, don't have any place to go, because you will NOT be able to put the book down until it's finished.

God Bless the Navy SEALS.

[jtbikers]

Nice job, Marcus. Always remember the boys.

[stxcore]

thank you

[Softy1970]

Bravo Zulu

[diegotownca]

good job seal team ten frm a former us army ranger.

[pontius]

Thanks Marcus

[hwy505]

Marcus along with his fellow warriors of team Ten that perished are True American Heroes and should be placed in the history books for young people to admire and aspire. Thanl you Team Ten!

[HawgIncognito]

I've read Lone Survivor, but is there any word on Luttrell's new book?

[jcraider31]

I don't know about a book but theres a movie in the making set to come out in 09.

[bighitter42]

The books been out dude....the movie is being done by Peter Berg. You know him from friday night lights and the kingdom. Should be good.

[Timpie0100]

I`m from holland and recalled the day when I heard about the loss of the seal team where Marcus belonged to. I just noticed that Marcus` book came out. So I ordered the book and I`m reading it wright now. I`m amazed about the down to earth kind of way Marcus writes his book.

Marcus last remark wil stay with me all my life i think.

"to fight somebody faght so hard, it makes life seem pretty easy!"

Marcus I feel what you mean, all the way over here in Holland

[rebelplaya]

Matt axleson was my friends mother best friend...I live in the town he lived in and the shut down our whole city for his funeral very sad...Book is very good suggest you should pick it up

[DevLcL]

RIP SEALs

[tom4532]

Thank God for Marcus because he is telling my cousin story, Mike Murphy. God bless you Marcus and Mike. From Thomas McGarvey.

[mjr11474]

If he really is your cousin (you know how some people like to claim to be something they're not) but I just got done reading Marcus' book, and Mike Murphy was as brave as they come. What a badass. Sorry to hear of his loss..

[garda611]

thats my brother tom , mike murphy was our cousin, his great grandfather and our grandmother were brother and sister

[MadparkWorld]

RIP Mikey

[kylecali]

hero

[WAPAISHONE]

Thank God for men like Marcus.

[laxballdmw]

amen
