  • This man should be able to just "chill" for the rest of his life! Bills paid, meals cooked, just chill!

  • 100 enemy fighters, 4 Navy SEALS. Pisses me off that they were so outnumbered. Think of the courage of these men as they fought the enemy. Every shot taken a result of years of marksmanship and rifle training. Running, ducking, shooting, running, watching out for your team mate, knowing they're shot. Knowing these cowards took out one of your brothers. Thank you for fighting for my freedom!

  • Marcus is the man but we must not forget who made it possible for him to be with us today. Hooyah Danny, Matt, and Mikey

  • I'm not even worthy enough to watch this. Marcus, you are the man!!

  • There are so many ignorant and disrespectful people that post comments in these rooms. Let me put it simply to you little fuckin rats, if you have never served shut the fuck up. You have not earned the right to post dumb-ass comments regarding the above video and others like it. USN 1989-1993.

  • @muetzp AMEN brother. It makes me sick to think I served 12 years between to separate branches of service so puke sacks are able to envoke their freedom of "hate" speech on videos honoring our fallen U.S. heroes. No worries though, karma will come back around some day...and they will quickly learn their mouths have written checks that their bodies can't cash.

  • Bin Laden is dead Marcus. Rest easy. We won't forget the courage you and your team displayed that day. God bless man.

  • Notice how Luttrell gives the utmost respect to Couric. Yes Ma'm, no Ma'm.

    She doesn't even say sir. What a bitch.

  • @airsoftsurvivalman12 Thats just common courtesy all service men use towards civilians.

  • @sammyp25 I know that.. Just saying. Its also common courtesy civilians use towards other civilians.

  • Thank you, SEAL's.

  • 1:45 he didn't risk his life... he gave his life. And please stop questioning Katie Couric's patriotism, she is just as American as anyone else... except the seals

  • nice poker face katie couric.

  • you're an idiot skinnyp98.

  • Incredible man..Incredible story of skill and survival..Marcus you are the epitome of an American Hero! To all people in the armed services in or heading to battle.DO NOT HESITATE TO KILL! If you feel your position will be compromised, KILL. One life of a Navy Seal is worth more than a million ass backwards afghans.

  • Read the book, is all i have to say.

    If you dont cry, get out of America.

  • @Fbhuan21 Bro, Ive read it three times, and each time I have wept during the onslaught. Most people just dont understand, especially those who've never been there. God bless Marcus, Danny, Mike, and Axel.

  • read the whole book and love it. It brought tears to my eyes for those heart-touching story, especially when Axe told Marcus his final words to tell his wife he loves her. It's very sad.

  • Great guy and amazing story. Seals are true heros. The only thing that comes to mind is of course those Herders. Hind sight is 20/20, however if you follow "stealth" to the letter of the law, you wouldn't let those guy's go. War is unemotional. Tie those ass holes holes up until you can recon the area and get the upper hand. It doesn't matter now, but it may have led to a different ending. I hate to say it but it's just a risk you can't take.

  • hoooya

  • all of these interviews and speeches are great. but it really doesn't explain everything to the depth that the book does. read it, it truly is an amazing story

  • man how can she even stand in the presence of this great patriot.... its because of these stupid hippie liberals that prevented marcus from ripping the heads off of those bastards

  • Marcus Luttrell - MAN

  • I dont understand what murphy's call had to do with lutrell being found like he says at the end of the video?????

  • @ledhead923 Until then they did not know of there precise location and that they were in trouble. His call let them know where they were.

  • I met and shoot this man's hand 5 days ago at a Houston Astros game. He was signing his book (which I had of course already read) and was there to throw out the first pitch. I cannot tell you how honored I was to meet him and to have him sign my book.

  • Im from Scotland, iv read the book also...Marcus is fucking brilliant. I absolutely love him. he is the total epiteme of man. I honestly wish i was as tough as him. can anyone tell me what Marcus does now or if i can contact him?

  • What a badass

  • He spoke last night at my school (the Virginia Military Institute). It was the best speech I have ever been to.

  • should have taken the goat herders out. these men would still be alive if they did.

  • How can the same country create such heros as Marcus and such num nuts who post some of these comments. Guess thats all part of America. Finished "Lone Survivor" today, great book. Where do we find the kind of men it takes to make a SEAL.

  • @1diesel....they are born!

  • @CareyH316 they are made. its called training

  • A true American hero.

  • Couric doesn't deserve to even be in the presence of this American hero!!

  • @flyboymd82 Come on....don´t be Stupid! Hero or not Hero....He seems to be very happy to talk to her! And You should respect him for that! Plus....a Man is a Man is a Man! Nobody is worth less than Anybody else!

  • @flyboymd82 I agree with you. She is the very type of reporter that would have scolded him for killing the goat herders

  • Comment removed

  • God Bless You guys!!!

  • that interview was about lt. murphy. it wasn't about him, she asked questions about him, but the real interview was about lt. murphy recieving the Medal of Honor. i read his book and every single one of those men who fought on that mountain deserved the navy cross they all recieved

  • Marcus is a MAN.

    He is what American heroes are made of.

    May God Bless his soul.

  • I loved his book

  • wtf...he left out the part where local villagers protect him and inform the US Forces of his posistion ?

  • don't be such a whiny bitch, for God sakes man. have a little respect, its not like he didn't tell the same story 7 other times and he did mention that. you Suck

  • ur the sucker who gets worked up for no reason..I am jus expressing my own opnion

  • the government also probably told him not to say that. the government wanted to keep iraqis and afghanis looking evil in the eyes of us americans.

  • yer an idiot. everybody already knows we're trying to give them democracy. why would the government want to do that

  • i was a corpsman deployed in afghanistan. i was stationed with the fleet marine force (FMF) and i tended to naval special operators at times thru the marine corps. and under the Bush Admin. i was instructed many times that if i was ever being interviwed by the media to never say anything about the locals. i was toled that the american people are confused and i shouldnt be confusing them more so by making the the local population seem freindly. this is very much unlike the obama admin,

  • these guys are the real celbritys of america not lebron james not lindsey lohan not brad pitt american soldiers are the guys that deserve the spotlight.

  • dude dont even fucking say hes lying your fuck tart this is real man unlike you who plays call of duty everyday ! so grow a set man

  • im not saying he is man but who knows what the hell happened up there axelson could have been the one with the cell phone anything could have happened so dont let your raging hormones take control of your miniscule brain I highly suggest YOU sew the gap between your legs and grow a pair because you have no chance of ever being a seal

  • why would he lie? I'm sure SEALs have more integrity than that. If Axe made the call, and Marcus said Murphy did, don't you think someone from his base at the time would confront him about a conflicting story? I like skeptics, it shows you can think for yourself, but if you can't trust this guy, who would you trust? Truth is 3 SEALs died and i guarantee you it took more than 10-15 guys to kill them.

  • man you must be a liberal!

  • Navy SEALs are far a lot tougher than UFC fighters.

  • like duh...most of ufc "fighters" would pussy out...athletes never come close to wariors...EVER...

  • Comment removed

  • @edgedwords And I'd say they'd agree. Most of the guys in the UFC are strong supporters of our military.

  • @hoserboi Don't the Marines sponsor the UFC?Or something like that?

  • @gbsons Yes they do. And in fact Brian Stann a UFC fighter is a former Marine and Afghanistan vet.

  • @edgedwords well duh?!?

  • @edgedwords How do you know?

  • @edgedwords lol thanks for those wise words.

  • @edgedwords SHut the fuck up you are neither... so how do you know???

  • @edgedwords a seal would kill a UFC fighter

  • Because of his unfailing tenacity, Luttrell seems to me to be every bit as much of a miracle man as Lance Armstrong. I thank God that Luttrell lived through the SEAL operation that had gone awry; Operation Redwing, and that Lt. Michael Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. If you haven't done so, I highly recommend reading Marcus' autobiography "Lone Survivor." These are the guys who deserve unending respect and publicity, not Michael Jackson.

  • methedupiowa

    I agree with you 100%. You can't mention Michael Jackson and Marcus Luttrell in the same sentence. Marcus Luttrell is a true hero and has real strength of character and courage beyond most men on this planet.

  • Thank you Marcus Luttrell and to all of the men and women who have made huge sacrifices for America. May God Always Bless and Protect those in our Armed Forces!

  • you're welcome

  • Marcus Luttrell is a true American hero.

  • click on my user name to watch a student lone survivor film, trust me its not stupid kids running around, it IS worth watching it really is about the message the book sends and what Marcus' brothers died for

  • i seriously hate the way Ms Couric talk about the incident. she freaking does not look interested about it (hello?! you're talking to someone who risk his life so you can sleep in peace every night!). f**king media.

  • I wonder how Ms Couric could stand being in the same room with someone who exemplifies everything that is great about the U.S. (everything that she despises) and admire Mr. Luttrell's restraint in not bitchslapping her for being a perfect example of the "hang the military out to dry" media type he talks about in his book.

  • lmfao....that is very true. And being military myself and having to watch/read the media everyday sucks. They talk about the worst shit ever that could be replaced for something more important. But instead they (media) would rather trash the members that would risk their lives so they can live in peace.

    "Freedom is never free. Somone always has to pay."

  • so true! it makes me sick this bitch was even given an interview!

  • honestly people need to stop bashing the soldiers. they fight and die to give you the right to bitch and moan about what you dont like about this country. have some fucking respect

  • dirtydirkie read the book you fucking retard you don't know what ur talking about. it tells the story of true courage and survivalism at its finest! one of the best books i've ever read. ur a fucking retard and i'll gladly kick the shit out of you if i ever see ur ugly ass in the street dickhead

  • r.i.p. all those navy seals who lost their lives here, u are all true american heroes!! everyone who hasn't read the book, read it! its amazing

  • Comment removed

  • You loud mouth gaming piece of crap. Have you ever heard a real AK or AR-15 being shot much less dozens being fired in a canyon? Of course not. All you know is how to turn on your video game in your mom's basement. Marcus Luttrell fought for your right to be a lazy gamer and your right to free speech even if you can't spell. You need to thank whatever god you worship every day for people like Marcus because without them you would be living your stupid video game.

  • I have no idea what country you reside in, but I can assure you, I lose no sleep over our military being in Afghanistan. Iraq is a different story, but as far as I and many other Americans are concerned, we have every right to hunt down the individuals responsible for 9/11. Again, I don't know what country you are a citizen of, but I sincerely doubt your government would let a terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11 slide.

  • As I said before, Iraq is a different story. But Afghanistan? Let's be serious, the country has no strategic value to US interests, it's landlocked, and one of the most impoverished places in the world long before we went in. Quite frankly, we have no other reason to be there than to fight al-Qaeda, because otherwise, the country is worthless. But whatever, there's really no point to fighting on the internet, because this could drag on interminably.

  • WTF!!! You think we're in Afghanistan for it's strategic value? We're there to eliminate the scum that attacked us on 9/11. If we let something like that go unchecked we'd surly have our freedoms compromised. We're in Afghanistan to eliminate those douchbag, terrorists called the Taliban so that we can continue to live as we are today under a nice blanket of freedom provided by our military.

  • Don't discredit his story man.. come on.. that is extremely low.. Military intelligence reported anywhere between 80 to 200 taliban fighters. Don't disrespect him. He had been through more in that one day than most of us would be put through in a lifetime.. and he and his team fought and fought under such cool heads and calm wits.. Ethicly, you can't say a negative thing about this man. In regards to integrity, honor, and respect - he dwarfs even the greatest of Americans.

  • I'm not discrediting the story, i'm just saying some of the 'facts' you find coming out of these sort of stories are often bended. Look at the Bravo Two Zero story...turns out McNab's account was highly exaggerated (to get his book to sell better, amongst other reasons).

    All i'm saying is i've read numerous articles and seen many reports of Operation Red Wing and the 'estimated enemy count' is different in each one.

    I would more believe a figure of 30-50 taleban.

  • Katie Couric needs to fucking die.

  • Katie: "so the odds were pretty much stacked against you guys"

    Thank you captain obvious.

  • Marcus would snap her neck if he weren't on tv. Damn that Katie Couric.

  • marcus is cute:)

  • Makes one proud to be an American....kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out.

  • wow omarthepug..... your suck a libral..

  • you are sick sir, think like a mormal person, this guy is a real hero he went to save all of us.

  • save all of us? what? i didnt realize our nation is suddenly in danger of being destroyed? is he a "hero", yeah sure but he didnt save all of us.

  • Just like Jesus!

  • killing innocent people? his orders were to secure a terrorist leader thats it. He could've killed those goat farmers that sold his team out but he let them live.

  • He's such a hero....... i hate how librals always find ways to make such a good thing twist in to bad things. He should have killed the 3 people,but knowing that your own country that your fighting for would through you in jail for murder is unbelievable

  • Had they not had to concern themselves with being crucified by pieces of garbage such as Katie for doing their job militarily by killing those "goat herders" they would all be alive today to speak to her.

  • Marcus is an outstanding person. He stopped by our offices by where he lives and we were proud to meet him. We took a few pictures of him holding our .416 Barrett that are posted on my markdeano youtube site. He is the real deal.

  • why would he, she's just interviewing him, asking reasonable questions. (katie)

  • Read his book, how he didn't throat her is beyond me. He should have called her and her liberal ilk out.

    You sir are a true Texan and everything that makes the lone star state great and this country can never thank you and your brotherhood enough

  • no shit katie your a dumbshit i'm sorry but fuck CNN

  • read the book in 1 day

    glad he went on CBS and I'm sure Katie hated this story as it doesn't fit her liberal, hippie agenda

  • @skinnyp98 fuck you! I know Katherine and she is no hippie

  • @skinnyp98 haha ya

  • great book! recommend it to everyone!

  • i agree i couldnt help but cry when i got to the fire fight

  • read the book my friends! trust me, you will thank me and marcus luttrell most of all for being a committed US soldier he is

  • The first quarter of the book is all about his seal training and you call him a soldier, cmon now

  • if u dont mind can u plz tell me the name of the book? thx

  • Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell

  • Read Victory Point by Ed Darack as well. Offers a lot more info on OP REDWINGS.

  • Yes you are right. It does offer alot of info plus it deals with the Marine Corps too.

  • These are the humble protectors of our country. God bless them all. Anyone who hasn't read "Lone Survivor" needs to pick it up immediately. Best book I have ever read.

  • Amazing comments on this clip, what did you guys watch? What did Katie do wrong?

    God bless you Marcus and all our guys and gals out there in the cold tonight.

    The ROE question is legit, but ultimately these guys made the call. It is impossible for any of us to judge. The times had a great story on LT Murphy and his penchant for being looking out for others when he was growing up.

  • I agree, Michael Murphy's parents only ever received one call home from school. And it was because Michael had gotten into a fight defending a disabled kid that was being greatly picked on by a much larger, non-disabled kid. A hero since birth Michael was.

  • marcuc thank you sir...and to the seals lost on that day thank u.. my prayrs go out to their familys

  • we love you marcus. thanks.

  • And what he couldnt mention on live television, (he had to say he blacked out) was the Axe didnt die right away, he got hit in the left side of his head and it blew away some of his skull and head tissue. He was still breathing but barely concious but kept on giving covering fire and his last word to Marcus were, "You stay alive, Marcus. And tell Cindy I love her."

  • same

  • lone survivor - best book ive ever read

  • Wow, I just heard about this, and it is inspirational. I don't know how some won't get behind these troops who are 'working' for us and giving their lives for her country. He is a genuine hero and (not much of a reader) I hear the book is excellent and going to read it.

  • Ex Team guy here, I have to say the training saved you Murph. When PS1 Instructors were beating us and telling us to welcome the pain, I hope that is what helped you get through it all. I never expierenced anything like you brother but we have spilled the same bllod in the same mud. Thanks for hanging in there and never giving up. The Only Day Was Yesterday.

  • I'm geting his book today.

  • what is this CBS, who's supposed to be some respected news corporation doesn't even have the respect for Marcus Luttrell, the brothers he lost or any of the Navy SEALs, active, retired or dead because they can't take the time to fucking capitalize SEAL, they're not named after an animal, its Sea, Air and Land its an acronym, capitalize it show some respect and get their name right, jesus

  • Quelqu'un peut traduire la conversation?

  • Man I wasn't really understanding his deep hatred of "liberal media" at the beginning of the book, but then it came through crystal clear last night on 60 minutes. It was a story about a marine and his fellas being ambushed, and they went to find the nearest house to "slaughter innocent civilians". Of course they tried to cook the marine in the interview. Marcus was so right.

  • she has no fucking clue what shes talking about.. marcus is wasting his time talkin to a dumb fucking liberal!!

  • Marcus, your book has made such a tenable difference on my life, my outlook on life, and my work attitude in every single thing I do.

    The only thing I can't do yet, is drink water out of a glass Pepsi Bottle. Just kidding.

    But HOOYAH Marcus!

  • thank you Marcus u have inspired me to join and fight.

  • LOL, i agree!  Couric FTL.

  • "Lone Survivor" quite simply is an AMAZING book. If you want to know the definition of Valor...read it.

    From one Aggie to another, Thank You Marcus for your service and for telling this story.

  • Those four men, as well as the men who tried to rescue them, are absolute heroes. God bless them all.

  • That cunt doesn't even deserve to be within 1000 miles of Marcus. He's a damn hero and this commie bitch should have her ass kicked.

  • Eloquently stated.

  • FUCK CBS, THESE ARE THE LIBERAL ASSHOLES WHO MAKE US (ARMED FORCES) LOOK BAD.

    Good job marcus, your a True hero and i strive to be like you

  • I'm not familiar with US tv hostesses cuz I'm from the other side of the Ocean, but this girl looks and IS unmeasurable fake.

  • Well said....well said

  • the amazing part is that 4 seals almost killed all of the 100+ taliban ambushing them it just goes to show how highly trained and effective navy Seals are its been rumored that only 30 taliban lived. no matter what thats nearly 25 taliban to ever 1 of the 4 seals.

  • The Caliber of these men are unmeasurable

  • I find it quite funny that everyone (And Im not saying Marcus Luttrell) thinks there was only one hero. No, there was 4. Read the book. I'm not much of a reader, but this is my most favorite book... EVER.

  • Katie Communist doesn't deserve to be in the presence of a warrior like Marcus Luttrell - she oughtta be thankful he didn't rip off one of her scrawny little liberal arms and stuff it up her ass.

  • Good brave men!

  • snae, you'll be happy to know that Marcus Luttrell is a Republican and Bush supporter (read his book), and hates whining, sniveling little wimpy-assed liberals like you. Moron.

  • hooah dave!!

  • katie couric and her fellow liberals are mostly responsible for those american soldiers dying that day. PC laws prevented those seals from eliminating the threat when they had the chance.

  • I can tell that there are some people here who have never served so you don't know what it means nor do you understand the oath that is take. Our job in the military is to preserve democracy, not to practice it. Whether our leaders make the right or wrong call is not for us to question until election time.

  • You guys need to realize is that when that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window. hooyah! god bless you mikey!!

  • "You guys need to realize is that when that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window." - Black Hawk Down. But it is TRUE!

  • oh shut the FUCK UP

    this isn't a damn forum to talk about whatever.

    why can't people have the presence of mind to leave comments pertaining to the related videos.

    Leave respect where it's due. Seal Team 10 went out to hunt down those Taliban for us, 3 of which gave their lives and all you fuckin people can do is bitch and moan about political BULLSHIT.

    if you all were so fucking smart with your shit, you'd prolly have a clip of someone interviewing you about what you think you know.

  • good grief - some of you guys are embarrassing.

    this story is about a sacrifice made for a largely-ungrateful nation. regardless of politics or your opinion about the war, these guys go fight regardless of what they think - they just do it. they risk their lives - in many cases LOSE their lives - for you. hearing this crap really hurts those fighting, my cousin told me all about it. get over your political opinions & back the guys just doing their job risking their lives for you. be grateful.

  • Charley brown, sacrifices in the name of INJUSTICE are unfortunate, but hardly worth anything.

    Bush Lied, soldiers died. If you want to turn it into something worthwhile, then work to impeach these bastards. Don't sit around whining about the objective way people view those sacrifices.

  • you are beyond insulting to the people i know in iraq. i have not said the war was right, nor have i said i agree with it - simply that these guys go no matter what their opinion & that sacrifice deserves to be recognized & honored. if you don't like the "bastards" you go get them impeached. have fun with that.

  • you're an idiot & i'm done wasting my time on you. you are SO not worth it. get a life.

  • your a dumb fuck.

  • No rifle. You are the fucking liar. Pieces of excrement like yourselves spent years putting words into Bush's mouth then trying to hang him with your fabrications.

    Don't feign concern for our soldiers. I can tell from the discounting way you present this is that you privately cheered when this happened because you liberal scumbags were able to use the death of soldiers against Bush. Your hatred of Bush actually made you cherish every bit of bad news out of this war. Rot....rot....rot.

  • shame on all of you for these comments on this story of the 3 men who died, and 1 man who barely survived defending your freedom and the Constitution of the United States.

  • The problem with your argument dano, is that they didn't die defending our freedoms or the constitution. Neither were threatened (except by Bush/Cheney), and neither required defending.

    In contrast, Bush/Cheney have used the "war on terror" to invade our privacy, suspend habeas corpus, & torture suspected enemies.

    All violations of the princinples this nation was founded upon.

    If these men had died trying to remove Bush/Cheney, then I could respect their sacrifices.

  • I thought Marcus was taken in by locals and cared for during those 6-7 days? He says in this video that he crawled 7 miles and was found 6 days later by the green berets. He doesn't mention anything about being cared for by locals.

  • maxine2win n the other "enlightened" euro BS-posters, have u guys read the Quran b4? Do u really appreciate the true nature of the Islamic faith/ideology? If ur not Jewish or Christian n do not plan on conversion to Islam, ur friendly Muslim immigrant neighbour has a moral n religious duty to cut off ur head. As u vomit the utopia-kumbayah rhetoric all over this post which feature a selfless n courageous hero, try Googling DAWA & SURAH. Better kiss all ur boyfriends bye as Islam is in Europe!

  • You have obviously not read the Quran. You have listened to versions, but you have not read it. Don't stereotype a whole religion of people. Its just ends up showing everyone how little you actualy know

  • you're an idiot. Either muslims are wrong or christians are wrong or both. Either muhammad flying up to heaven on a pegasas is false or jesus walking on water, turning water into wine, being born of a virgin, and resurrecting from death is bullshit. Either way billions of people are extremely delusional. You seriously don't fucking understand why there is so much suffering in this world? It's not because there is a loving creator. It's because of clueless morons like you.

  • thanks for replying to maxine2win's ignorant brainwashed stupid statement.
