[azstealth511]

Korengal is where National Geo filmed "Operation Restrepo" intense what goes on in this valley



[brooklyn88jy]

How far would you go to save this country?...till im close enough to hear god say HOORAH!

god bless US soldiers

[optikon1]

HOOORAH! God bless America. And for the ignorant people that talk shit about are military. theres no better way to put this... Fuck off... you wouldent stand infront of a bullet for your own mothers let alone a country that you barley know...

[Sekair]

@optikon1 Right on man, thumbs up for you.

[FiKzTmotion]

Our military is something to be proud of. Fuck off Pythagoras

[thegrimreaper541]

and iran wants to fuck with us why?

[Alejoftvalentina]

the invaders must die

[BarcaILoveYou]

@Alejoftvalentina You stupid fuck, may die..

[BarcaILoveYou]

@Alejoftvalentina You stupid fuck, may die..

[Pythagoras211]

Is this something to be proud of?

[Pythagoras211]

Wtf are they firing at?

[FOXTR0T1]

those kiowa pilots are some crazy motherfuckers

[RLewisH]

Video games are retarded

[ioossmachine]

i know exactly how they feel. i play paintball

[TheBic4]

@ioossmachine lol right

[thatgreggguy]

@ioossmachine If you're trying to be funny, just stop. If you're serious, shut the fuck up. You have no idea what these men go through.

[MrHyde041]

4ID Lead the way! Much love from FT Carson!

[darkman30200]

props to these guys keeping their cool in that deathtrap valley, pretty sure if any of these big talkers on here were to go there they'd be screaming and crying for mommy. good job boys and come home safe!

[nicholassinclairswan]

you can so see why Americans have lots of friendly fire. did any of them actually aim in this video??? haha

[alaxander101]

@nicholassinclairswan all i have to say is any soilder in that video would fuck u up, on the battlefield and in person so how about you shut the fuck up and go praise allah you cunt

[samelliott08]

Worst. Marksmanship.  Ever.

[Atony94]

@samelliott08 Don't think they were trying to be precise. Just gain fire superiority at that point.

[notownself]

hey look a hybrid sight

[bliblopblep]

@2:02 it sounds like the imperial march

[7866sam]

American cowards no dare to fight on ground with taliban.called air support.it is clear pigs fighting with lions with twisted ass.

[BlueyFromMelbShuffle]

@7866sam

Brains save both sweat and blood. It's just being competent.

[nicholassinclairswan]

@7866sam and im sure the taliban wouldnt use air superiority if they had it. dont pick a fight you cant win.

[mspdrummer]

@7866sam im pretty sure those guys were on the ground....are you saying pigs can fly? can we rendevious somewhere so i can rip you a new one? i'm an us army infantryman just like the "pigs" in the video so you shouldnt have much to worry about.

[7866sam]

@mspdrummer ,you better retreat from your army life ,and start beating drum.other wise one day taliban will capture you and beat u like a drum.u are not ashamed to talk to a muslim with your hands full of blood.and never come in front of me i will rip u in to two.

[mspdrummer]

@7866sam time and place towelhead! give me a time and place so i can put a .556 round through your skull

[mspdrummer]

@7866sam you're probly some coward piece of shit turk. if you're in america give me a time and place so i can put you out of your misery

[Alex80586]

cowards

[SidOhzen]

I actually saw this documentary - and when soldiers actually got into close combat they started crying and freaking out because their playstation world turned to shit. No more computers and close air support. very telling about fighting a war with too much modern technology....

[meletdufromage]

@SidOhzen whats the name?

[ilyaz619]

i would do anything to be right there fighting for the U.S.A

[rwallen11]

That is some real shit! Thanks to all of our armed forces for their services!

[benc911]

Stay safe boys, Love from you friend, Britain

[danielavrit]

Any U.S armed forces reading this, you boys are doing a great job. Keep kickin ass and keep your chin up.

[Niekens]

They signed up to kill for their country.

[Lantoize]

FUCK the sights they have steady aim on

[93joeanthony]

is it recommended to wear eye pro when you deployed?

[bigtruckseriesreview]

WHY ISN'T THERE A PREDATOR DRONE AVAILABLE?

[jtorrez50]

@bigtruckseriesreview they need that kill-streak first

[Racswimming]

intense airsoft game....

[ifinnalyfoundwaldo]

do you see them no I'm just shooting -.- good video though

[Cantstopthebaddancer]

I felt bad for the Afghani with no helmet. Poor dude looked fucking terrified while everyone else seemed to be handling it rather well.

[NuclearFallout1]

@Cantstopthebaddancer lol those afghan national armie huys actually choose not to where any kind of protection believe it or not they seem to believe that the only protection they need against bullets and such is faith

[iHitAnElephant]

napoleon dynamite

[DominicanBerny]

STOP wasting bullets and use our sights!!!

[2ndpadrummer]

and people say the army doesnt do shit....

[dave4k0]

I respect these guys but not the war that they are in.

[DAvidThEShanKA]

like this video for our badasses kicking ass out their

[AirsoftBadBoy]

2:55 The guy at the left is in the middle of a firefight and he is drinking water, wow

[denis1110]

@AirsoftBadBoy he can't fight if he's dead from dehydration

[TastyNachoz]

@AirsoftBadBoy Ever heard of something called thirst?

[dumaznbum]

@AirsoftBadBoy hey, being dehydrated can cause you to not function as well or cause you to become a heat casualty, in other words, take you out of the fight. that could lead to lives being lost. the solution? a simple drink of water to remain hydrated. fight smarter not harder.

[surfgodx]

In Afghanistan you cannot win a war of idealogy with guns and helicopter gunships as the Russians learned 30 years ago.I respect and love our brothers in arms as they continue to "fight the good fight" but for a majority of the backwards ass sheep herders we are nothing but another foreign invader trying to tell them how to live their lives.Our esteemed CIC needs to realize the futility of this "war on terror" in a land fractured with militant tribesman and religious hypocrisy

[CosmicConJob]

These guys must have huge balls. Being shot at would be a bit too much for me to handle. You have to respect the bravery.

[ch3dd4rch33z]

The patch on his helmet at 1:46 is for the 4th infantry division or "Ivy Division" is the same division my great grandfather was in when he was in WWII. Amazing to see it go from Omaha Beach to Korengal Valley, Afghanistan.

Steadfast and Loyal

[TheLastPancho]

I hope they all came back home

[PwnageFantum]

did you see that guy almost get blown up

[TheHOLDENJOHNSON]

nice use of ear pro..

[myaclick]

they should have a gun cam. i never see any footage of talibans getting killed, just soldiers shooting into mountains

[induna7]

@myaclick This isn't a video game you muppet. Go back to playing your little games if that is all you are looking for.

[myaclick]

@induna7 you muppet im not talking about kill cams, im talking about literally......scope cams.google it. and I play need for speed not dumb repetitive shooting games

[95BigKahuna]

@myaclick You just said you want kill cams. You want us to mount guns on our scopes so you can watch the taliban get shot. Grow up. Go back to Need for Speed.

[myaclick]

@95BigKahuna never said i want kill cams. what do you mean "us"? you're not even one of these guys. real men want to see talibans get shot and pissed on. and I would be delighted to go back to playing need for speed...... young adults still play games including cod

[95BigKahuna]

@myaclick I mean "us" as in American Fighting Men. I'm a U.S. Marine. You are obviously mistaken on what a real man is then. Don't even act like you know what a real man is. Those Marines that pissed on Taliban bodies were a disgrace to the uniform. Whether you are at war or peacetime you still have respect for your enemies. They are soldiers fighting for their cause just like we do. Just stop trying to act cool.

[myaclick]

@95BigKahuna dont give me that "i'm a marine" bullshit just because you're interested in guns. that does not make you a marine. and LOL you're telling me to respect the taliban enemy because they have a cause? even if their cause is solely to terrorize Americans? damn you are definitely not a marine...you are a dumbass

[95BigKahuna]

@myaclick Yep another ignorant civi. Seen your type too many times. Just shut your mouth and learn some respect.

[myaclick]

@95BigKahuna i like how you're still implying you're a marine. it's hilarious. you play with airsoft and fucking paintball guns...that does not make you a marine

[95BigKahuna]

@myaclick Every man's got a hobby. Yours is need for speed. Mine is shooting some buddies in the woods. You are a chairborne ranger and I'm a Marine. Shit happens that way I guess!

[myaclick]

@95BigKahuna all true.......but you are not a marine...but I would still like to see talibans get shot at and die and maybe sprinkle a little piss crystals on top of their corpses. Thank you very much, now give me a standing ovation *bows* goodnight everybody!

[95BigKahuna]

@myaclick You've got a lot to learn about life and death. I'm not going to comment anymore. I don't need to prove to you or anyone about my being a Marine. You're obviously some young cocky son of a bitch that doesn't know shit about the real world that you live in. Have a nice day you sick fuck.

[myaclick]

@95BigKahuna No, YOU have a nice day, you sick fuck

[Khan12078]

@myaclick their job is to drive you out of their country, and your job is to let the ruling elite to make money out of the spoils of war.

[DaMagicConchShell]

@Khan12078 their job is to terrorize and kill americans like 9/11 our job is to say "fuck you" and fight back

[Sekair]

@DaMagicConchShell Damn right :o

[myaclick]

@Khan12078 no the US army's job is to assist the good people of afghanistan and the afghan police and eliminate the taliban terrorist group and remove all the roadside bombs so the good people can get on with their lives without being blasted into pieces everyday

[Khan12078]

@myaclick they actually tell the people before hand that an IED is placed their so they dont step on it. Bin Laden was the one who so you believe killed you hes now apparently dead you have no reason to be their. Al-Queda killed your people on 9/11 as your government said yet you believe the Taliban 'terrorized' your people on 9/11 damn your a lost cause you dont even know who you fighting for. Dick Cheney has ordered to build oil pipelines through Afghan to the Caspian sea

[myaclick]

@Khan12078 taliban basically supports al-queda so we take down both groups.....why would they even bring down our towers?! we need to fuck their group up and anyone associated with al queda..... and there are many afghan police that are killed with IEDs

[Khan12078]

@myaclick why would you blow up your towers, i never said you did but i know your government did, just think for yourself what has the government gained from this attack by this i mean the ruling elite. Plus their are so many unanswered questions regarding this attack that are yet not clear, theirs more evidence to suggest it was an inside job rather then a few terrorists, Bin Laden also took no credit for the attack hes on record, but the CIA and its affiliates just put up fake

[Khan12078]

@myaclick videos fooling all of you. Why did the Navy Seals throw Bin Ladens body in the water no evidence or pictures.

[myaclick]

@Khan12078 you have reasons to believe my government did it; i have reasons to believe they didn't.....this is why people disagree with each other. even if we go back and forth it will change nothing because nothing comes out of nothing. and when you and i have something there will be nothjing to noting to makes no sense of nothing out of nothing

[danielavrit]

@Khan12078 My personal opinion is that Osama died a long time ago from U.S artillery or exposure in the desert. Barack Obama wanted to take credit for the kill, so he staged the whole thing, that picture of the white house staff in the room watching the op go down looks very suspicious.

Or maybe we did actually kill him as stated. You never know. I wish I could have seen the helmet cams.

[brandonS911]

@Khan12078 I'm pretty sure they took pictures but of course they are top secret. That's why you think the haven't shown anything or taken anything. But they did an autopsy.

[Khan12078]

@myaclick but hes kept it on the low does that ring any bells. Afghanistan is a strategically important area to hold for many reasons.

[BallisticPenetration]

@myaclick 6.5 years in the Corps and still serving in foreign theaters for our country. I can tell you the Taliban don't just aspire to terrorize Americans. When I was in, Marines were ferocious warriors AND could think for themselves; that's what made us dangerous. I don't know who you are, and don't presume to, but you should research Smedley Butler "War is a Racket" and wake the hell up.

[igrenade]

@myaclick well you certainly sound like an expert on this matter. do you know the pain and suffering western occupation has caused?

when you get that hate out of your ignorant ass, you'll realize we're all human beings and are fighting for what we believe in. we hate terrorists, they hate us.

[myaclick]

@igrenade we hate terrorists because terrorists terrorize non-terrorists....

[igrenade]

@myaclick

what does that have to do with the fact that you're blinded by hate?

[myaclick]

@igrenade it has to do with my hate for terrorists........

[marine100890]

@myaclick theres a saying for pricks like him, the only people who understand a marine, is another marine, and the enemy. others only have a second hand opinion. i dont about you, but i joined because i was willing to take lives and bleed for this country. i dont care if the enemy is white black mexican muslim jewish nazi or a damn brit. they are all the same when they do anything to hurt or attempt to harm our country.

Semper Fi Do or Die.

[myaclick]

@marine100890 YEAH AMURCAHH

[nzoid]

US lost the war in Afghanistan!!

Despite the impressive war machine against few guns they lost 70% of the Country and they are negotiating with Taliban and Mullah Omar.

[paintsvillehs]

@nzoid No. ISAF is in control of A-Stan not the US. Fucktard.

[nzoid]

@paintsvillehs

US lost war in Afghanistan, as in Iraq and Vietnam. The target of the war was to destroy Taliban but when you negotiate an exit strategy with Mullah Omar, the one and only Chief in command of Talibans it means that you lost!! Sad but true!

PS. If you believe that any single decision in ISAF is not a US' one it means that you live on the moon...enjoy your trip...

[sunnyusarmy1112]

124 Taliban disliked it!

[jon12345993]

how the hell are you going to dislike this??

[xxtermin8or141]

@jon12345993 They're communists and hippies.

[squirlwisker]

02:56 just gunna drink some water...aww, some one shot my water bottle, lol

[squirlwisker]

at 00:28 that guy probably shit his pants, lol.

[mojzivotutubi]

Pussy ass bitches...

[squirlwisker]

you would cower in the dirt if you had to wach your friends die around you, and be shot at. show some respect asshole.

[JD4Trojhans]

This used to be a decent place to live before the Taliban took over.

[CoriKyleeph567]

naa wie geil hab 3 brüste

[KyKyxP]

Stop the tyranny from the world bankers... this war is not neccessary, its simple invasion.

Has anyone heard of preemptive attacks done by the government? Hitler and many other leaders have used preemptive strikes to cause fear in the people, and then they can take their liberties and natural born rights to "protect" them. NDAA AND MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA, END THE TYRANNY

[TuBProductions74]

hahah the dog at 2:37 just chillen

[boxofmoxie]

Free song on bandcamp.com I wrote called KORENGAL VALLEY (COURAGE), in recognition of soldiers and their plight. Please check out and forward on...

[rebourne783]

This should be Afghanistan movie or something...

[MrREEDLE]

Hell yes in the beginning. Joint operations with the Marine Corps and Army, two best kickass branches. SEMPER FI!

[xXTANNER77Xx1]

@MrREEDLE hell yeh

[xXTANNER77Xx1]

@MrREEDLE im army eod love running shock road with marines

[MrREEDLE]

@xXTANNER77Xx1 Hell yeah dude my whole familys marine corps heritage all the way but the army kicks ass too

[czjayz080]

wheres a .50 cal when u need it

[Sovereign1023]

I don't miss this fucking country one goddamn bit.

[johnpagecontraband]

i think theyd b better off wit a tactical built m14 over them m4's

[Trujillo145th]

@johnpagecontraband It really depends what you're looking for. Yeah the 7.62 is a great round but the m4 is much lighter and easier to carry especially when you're going into a house you can collapse that stock the recoil is next to nothing as with the 14 after 3 rounds rapidly it becomes an anti aircraft gun. Although range with the 14 is good but you can hit farther with the M4 than an AK so it doesn't really matter.

[johnpagecontraband]

@Trujillo145th yea thats a good point wit the weight n recoil

[IBBBRsDaHunters]

guy at 2:27 says: there you go (kill confirmed) ...

[ItsIllusionZ]

Bring em home!

[ohnoemynameistaken]

Watch Restrepo, it's a documentary... you'll see how chronic this place is.

[shankdrummer06]

@ohnoemynameistaken agreed. 

[Zimnyification]

@ohnoemynameistaken I haven't seen the documentary but I read his book. Good shit.

[john4145]

@ohnoemynameistaken yeah thats a very good documentary. its on netflex for anyone that wants to see it.

[svennesvan]

Are there not alot of marksmen in Afghanistan?

It seems like the biggest troube the anti-terrorists have is seeing the terrorists...

[crambone34]

THANKS FOR POSTING AND LETTING WE CIVILIANS KNOW THE COMBAT YOU ENDURE THERE...HELPS PUT A FACE TO THE COMBAT..I PERSONALY WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,I APPRECIATE WHAT YOUR DOING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND ALL THE OTHER TROOPS SERVING OVERSEAS!!...

.....THANK YOU!!



[xISwiiftKillerzzxI]

@crambone34 YOU MOST BE OLD ALL OLD PEOPLE TALK IN CAPS!

[KyKyxP]

@crambone34 but its not a good war? why?

[0MattAttack]

@crambone34 Just think if one of those haji's shot that guy with the AT-4 on his back. and it exploded :D I would be a happy soldier seeing that.

[squirlwisker]

@0MattAttack sing your friend explode?...twisted man, twisted...it would be kinda funny though, i guess.

[0MattAttack]

@squirlwisker Cool Song broski.

[DontRep1y]

@crambone34 you have caps lock on..

[TheFumsn]

@crambone34 u should say merry christmas to the familys they killed in this vid u stupid ami.....-_-i hope they all die a cruel death!fuck america

[ottispunkmeyer]

@TheFumsn i hope you know a soldier gave you the right to say that, inconsiderate asshole

[pwnj0o]

@crambone34 If you want to see a real inside story on this horrible place you need to get the movie Restrepo you can watch the trailer for it at this link.

watch?v=-DjqR6OucBc It is a real inside view of the war from outpost Restrepo.

I don't want to tell you any more about the movie but if you liked this then give it a watch it's amazing,

[BFBCplayer4life]

:O its snowing in Afghanistan XD

[Actionman102]

@BFBCplayer4life I KNOW

[millerlois23]

see the gospel of st. philip

Christ was sent to expell Yahweh and save humanity

but the church at service of elites made sure they killed Him best - in scripture

[RoflMcCopterson]

@millerlois23 Nobody gives a fuck.

[millerlois23]

human blood for the pagan god of Yahweh

also the god of "christians"

the god of elites.

Yahweh gives wealth to those that spill human blood

Abraham's covenant with the devil

[DSlayer1993]

@millerlois23 mislead.

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

but you all gotta remember,

attack is easier than defence in open areas like this,

they hold cover, you shoot and move in,

its like a rope around your neck.

[autonom911]

FAKE^^

[Apolloisbest]

@autonom911 must mean that your GAY!

[Rookie4563]

So what happens in these kind of firefights? or in most in Iraq? Because the enemy is usually in the mountains firing across the ridge or valley. So do we just shoot back and forth at each other until we get tired or until we call in a helo to scare them off?

[cnuggets9000]

@Rookie4563 um no, they (stupidly) shoot at us from a long way away, we shoot back, and then send in a helo to turn them into clouds of pink mist :)

[TheXxVIP3RxX]

@Rookie4563 they shoot at us with the iron sights of AK47s and RPGs and we shoot back with high power scoped weapons and THEN we call in a helo or A10

[Omnicron4735]

To any of you thinking about joining our the armed forces (ground)..

Learn to run. Run FAST.

Sometimes the thing that saves you ass is whats connected to it...

The power of your legs.

Be safe.

[371jon]

This is intense. And I Love and Respect all of these guys. But this looks more like a movie to me. I know it's not, but the cameraman must not be a soldier. To me it looks like his job is solely to make good footage. If it were me I'd be all over the fuckin place

[brianlakey1]

here's something simple, one or two guys just shoot to give others time to react and you say they are shooting like haj. different neighborhood friend and before you puff up and say something stupid i was in kunar and nuristan so i know what i am talking about. you ripped with my guys not those down there. next time just watch, sing yourself and airborne cadence or recite fiddlers green whatever makes you warm and fuzzy and if it sounds good coming out your mouth, dont just be quiet.

[CARLAANNLARRY]

no top comments heres my chance......the properties of newtons laws of physics clearly state that when a force reacts forcefully or unforcefully acts upon an object,then the same fo.............

Jimmy:NERD!

[jbancroft888]

Watch the documentary "Restrepo". Its about soldiers in this valley, really interesting..

[THEDEADLY1231]

@jbancroft888 lol ya i dont understand how that was only on TV. it was great

[jbancroft888]

@THEDEADLY1231 You can always torrent the movie, if your into that sort of stuff

[heman187]

before we get any twisted comments, I've done Kunar.

[heman187]

good job leg, next time try to aim your weapon and not shoot like a hadj. ROCK RECON!

[93joeanthony]

13f baby lets goooo!!! ship to fort sill in april cant fucking waiittt

[TheJSVids]

Just a question, when you see these guys firing, are they sighting in targets or suppressing?

[TheSouthJersey]

@TheJSVids - Mix of both, a little amount supression. Shoot to kill unless you have to, nothing worse than running out of ammo. A lot of your tracer's will be for spotting a position, short burts when you see followed by movement/position change, is supression.

[luiskilla91592]

@TheJSVids the way iam trained in the marines suppression is having good effect on target by which i mean hitting them and maneuvering while your at it. but this is atmy i cant tell you.

[WolfN931]

Some of u ppl don't know what the fuck ure talkin bout this is how my original platoon survived

[Brooklyn2K12]

@rapfan050 that was in iraq, afghanistan was to originally eliminate the taliban, al-qaeda and bin laden. we got 2/3....war goes on...
