U.S. Army Rangers jump into Afghanistan!

[messi7japan]

I wish peace.

[metallicaaddict12]

HOOAH!! does anyone know if the rangers also HALO jump?

[jjjflott]

They do have qaulified HALO soldiers but not as a unit.

[rafyraf100]

@metallicaaddict12 yes they  do they scuba also

[CalvinKuo17]

I don't see Chuck Norris...

[eatsoil]

faster, quieter and more efficient than landing multiple helicopters. not as precise but the numbers will make up for it.

[fckngolddighoez18]

help yourselves

[jc1134]

i just graduated airborne school and i cant wait to follow in their footsteps

airborne! all the way

[stefan8824]

royal marines rule

[ProTuner06]

@stefan8824 Not really. Thanks for trolling though.

[Californianboy626]

thanks for the upload my brother jumped in afghanistan in 2001

[kizmarck4]

soldiers brave heart.. true warrior..

[coka5841]

so why are we still parachuting men into hostile territory?

as great as you rangers are...

wake up! drones and bombs save you from suffering.

[dynmicpara]

Drones and bombs cannot hold ground and control governments and peoples----which win wars.

[bloody6mortician]

Excellently put.

[545Soldier]

i agree

[Maestro1362]

@dynmicpara they can hold ground if flown over the ground enough. And maybe if we stopped trying to control governments and people, we wouldn't be at war much.

[JDGA80]

why blow up a airfield when you can seize it and stage out of it smart guy. I was on that jump!!!

[twitchrdz956]

@coka5841 because we like to.

[nightwhatchman]

@coka5841 Because jumping from a plane to kick ass is worth a little suffering.

[rascalMatt17]

@coka5841 Because we like to kill bad guys ourselves. RLTW..... All the fing way!!!

[pandaland1]

@coka5841 drones do not have use of reason

[dumaznbum]

@coka5841 they were securing an airfield in kandahar and the area is known for rugged terrain. this is operation rhino in 2001, they established the first US base in afghanistan during oef. Rangers lead the way.

[360Nomad]

@coka5841 Drones and bombs fail to hit the right target a lot of time.

[ffryan]

@coka5841 Drones and bombs also kill civilians in much greater numbers and destroy infrastructure needlessly in a country we'd like to see eventually re-built. Thanks for coming out champ. Leave stuff like this to the pro's.

[luvthatpigskin50]

Nothing else in the world sounds like a good ole C-130 ready to haul. As for the Rangers, you guys rock. We love you.

[rusty1325]

brings back memories and not all good.but my trooper brothers will always be in my heart.

[Hubajub5]

RLTW!

[Hubajub5]

rltw

[AIRBORNEKMCQUITERY]

GREAT vid dude. I miss this so much! 2ND RANGER BN 89-93 Operation just cause. 5TH SPECIAL FORCES 93-02 SFOD-D MSG RET 08. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!!!!!

[Korporaal1]

Good vid! Is there any footage of the jump by the 173rd into Iraq?

[redfalcon325]

Yes look up "Jump into Iraq" on here.. their video was much better than ours..

[uliestarker]

Let´s go guys!!

[zume2600]

i was always told that the dropzone was already secured by sf, a seal team, and airforce combat controllers just as was the dz for the 173rd in 2002.

[CaptainAmerica322]

there are ALWAYS pathfinders on the ground before an airborne op. SEALs wernt the pathfinders though. it was the combat controllers. thats thier job, pathfinding. SF and CCT were the first ones on the ground in afghanistan. SEALs came late. anyways, look back to world war 2, pathfinders were there in normandy before the main airborne elements. its always like that

[headhighroller]

@zume2600 camp rhino

[hikeith912]

hell yea rangers lead the way

[knife1975]

Just great video.
