173rd ABCT Chosen co. 2nd Platoon

[marineshooter92]

Thats a badass song...

[joelzwilliams]

I admire your sacrifices and I love the footage, but please realize not everybody is a fan of heavy metal. You probably don't realize this so I will say it for those who won't post. Please leave off the music! It's extremely distracting. For most civilians, we never get a chance to see actual combat footage. You don't realize how important it is for us to see and HEAR what's going on! We want to support you but we're turned off by the superfluous noise and then we click on something else.

[FastEddie718]

@joelzwilliams thats what a mute buttons for... 

[joelzwilliams]

@FastEddie718 I think you're missing the point. We want to hear the conversation and the noise of combat, muting takes away ALL the sound.

[FastEddie718]

@joelzwilliams im not trying to act like an asshole or anything, but strictly informative, there are plenty of combat videos on youtube and much more elsewhere that you can see. i would recommend watching Restrepo (its on netflix if you have it) if u want to see what its really like to be a Soldier in Afghanistan.

[joelzwilliams]

@FastEddie718 I saw Restrepo, it left me wanting...I wanted to see the aftermath of the firefights. Where are the dead enemy? How is it that they always manage to slip away despite having no medevac or real battlefield medicine to speak of? Restrepo showed a lot of dudes firing at the mountain and calling in airstrikes, but that was it. I would like to see the AAR including sound.

[tommysixgunner]

@joelzwilliams If its too loud your too old

[jdix2011]

Rest in peace to all who died, especially my friend Pruitt Rainey... watch over all of us brothers...

[kjganih]

F*** yeah!!!! I love this! Go get em boys!

[SullivanSkater]

To Chosen Co. and to all our fallen brothers, you are never forgotten. FOREVER SKY SOLDIERS!

[13mattjr]

an old salty bastard from the 82nd told me one time, "we airborne allways fight better when were outnumbered, or surrounded, or better both!" come home soon guys

[slimkayne]

RIP Garcia, we still miss you here at B Co 1/504 bro. Be easy see ya when I get there.

[MeteoraSC32]

Where is this video at? I thought you guys were at Michigan then Wanat?

[texas057]

no. 

[TheEvilAmerican]

Rest in peace Boger, you guys really fucked those Muji ass pricks up that day. Respect.

[oeyesea]

I'm reading "War" by Sebestain Junger. It deals with The Chosen and The Rock. Great so far. I have hard time putting it down.

[anteracmacash]

Rest in piece Cpl. Jason M. Bogar

[delaineerox]

@anteracmacash

Hissong's cousin here.. sorry for your loss, our family prays for all the men who didn't make it home and their families everyday. May peace be with you.

[anteracmacash]

@delaineerox I didn't know him...I just found out here in the comments that the soldier making this video died in Afghanistan

[malangsob]

What a fucking waste...the taliban have to be laughing their asses off at us. Like "look at these dumb MFers...dont they read history books?"

[PurpleG123]

@malangsob 

[PurpleG123]

@malangsob Hard to laugh when you are dieing. Would have been an easy war if we had just killed them all instead

[malangsob]

@PurpleG123 Spoken like a true patriot. Lets take a test. Just to yourself, I dont require reply. It is pretty simple. What are the first ten ammendments to the constitution? Why were they written?

What was our founding fathers view on foreign entanglements?

If you dont know, you should. Most Americans dont know and worse dont care. Yet they wanna give 'freedom' to the rest of the world at the end of a rifle barrel? 15 years active duty and counting here. Wise up..serious.

[jgtemplars]

@malangsob -Some but not all Americans are naive to your point. I thought we would have learned our lessons after Korea and Vietnam as how and why we deploy are troops for bull shit political agenda's. I am not saying Iraq and Afghanistan was not necessary, but the way we change our troops mission from warriors into nation builders is ridicules. So many U.S. troops were killed by placing restriction and b.s. rules of engagement in both theaters of war. Where there to kill not nation build.

[malangsob]

@jgtemplars Well...I think most are. I think most are intentionally ignorant to not only our foreign entanglements but allow themselves to believe bullshit propoganda because the truth is so painful.

Speaking of nationbuilding...guess who is sitting in Kabul Afghanistan right now nation building?

THIS GUY.

Americans need to pull their....ahh screw it...dumb fuckers will get whats coming to them.

peace!...I mean it

[TheAndLyn]

Thank you guys

[kaj34]

This sucks because they all died on a mission they didnt have to go to, 2 weeks before they were supposed to go home, and the US didnt give them sufficient supplies

[brizzzle82]

These are some pretty powerful vids. Sgt. Garcia and I were in the same company in the 82nd until he went to the 173rd in 2006. I didn't know him very well but I am truely honored that I was able to serve with him. you guys saw more shit than most would ever see in 100 lifetimes. Thanks guys

[25dellisc]

Bad ass video with a great song.

[jgtemplars]

What out post is this?

[texas057]

@jgtemplars nothing now.

[jgtemplars]

@texas057 -Was the out post Restrepo? It seem our government continues to fight wars with political correctness. Just how different would the world be if the U.S. used its Armed Forces like the ancient Romans. Better yet, if all combat soldiers were given land and high standing in our society.

[boredtube7]

what up?!?!?

[Fuzionrider]

fucking awesome. kill those hajis. kill, kill, and kill them again.

[actop19]

Why people teach their kids to look up to football players, and celebritys, instead of true heros like these, I will never know!

[kaj34]

@actop19 because they fear that they will become these heroes and die

[harker999]

[kristen16Naish]

hey fuck u and have the decensey to spell america right u prick u r so tuff on the cpu arent u shithed

[strikerx774]

plus no invasion has ever been proven in history to work. guerilla warfare tactics will always win. the more that gets killed the more mad people will become. after that point all hell breaks loose and the only losers there are are the US tax payers and the fools that joined the war.

[generalballboy]

RIP SGT Isreal Garcia......KIA 13 July 2008.....Chosen Few.

[texas057]

[kper11]

Former Marine here about to go into the Army... RIP MajorLeagueInfidel11, thank you for your service

[DeathWishMonkey]

2d Plt, The Chosen Few. The 28 soldiers who stopped 200 Taliban cold with nothing heavier hitting than their M4 rifles and hand grenades. What a helluva bunch of men.

[hutningnola]

@DeathWishMonkey I agree but those same m4's, Saw's and 50's were the down fall... Jason bogar ran 12 Mag's one after another till the Barrel Turned white and rendered it useless.. when you can not defend yourself with your personal weapon and thy Jam up after intense use you are good as dead.. I think its time The Army went another route COLT flat out Blows Huge cock same with the 50 and saw if not lubricated properly and maintained they will Foul up and could cost many more lives.

[Grzech0007]

@DeathWishMonkey do U have more details abt that firefight?

[ross0the0man]

this was a good vid. untill the fuckn music stared!!!!!!!

[CaptainAmerica322]

Learn to spell before criticizing the work of a fallen hero...

[ross0the0man]

first of all, i think that i can say that the music is bad without criticizing a fallen hero. second, i didn't no that your spelling had to be "Prefect " for youtube's comments, my bad. third, i will never criticize a fallen hero. and by the way, i liked his "other" vid.

[CaptainAmerica322]

Looks like the Taliban have more balls than the Iraqis. Looks to me, and from all the stories guys tell me, they put up a good fight usually.

[foxychocho]

Oh yeah, Afghans have been fighting forever.

[CaptainAmerica322]

Wait, he died?? That sucks. RIP soldier

Thank you for sharing this video. My best friend is in there.

RIP Jason D. Hovater

[SQNBM]

It is your evil, who will be sought by us.

With every breath we shall hunt them down.

Each day we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies.

There are varying degrees of evil.

We urge you lesser forms of filth

Not to push the bounds and cross over into war..into our domain.

For if you do, there will come the day when you look behind you and see us. And on that day you will reap it.

And we will send you to whatever God you wish.

Airborne and then some!

Keep Up The Fire!

[NONE6542589]

Hello VSBITCH25

FUCK YOU

[robert0879]

Your a FAG vsboy25! Say that when your on the receiving end of my CAS mission, they think they want to die, until we crank the heat up, then they run away, but we chase them down!!! And me not wanting to die makes me fight even harder, I have something more to fight for, to live for, so you can eat a bag of dizzicks turd licker!!! God, can you guy's believe these dumb assholes that come on here and have no idea what they are talking about? SO THAT MEANS FUCK OFF VSBOY25! OUT, BIOTCH!!!

[sonny134679]

because you are less than a dog Mr agent boy

[vsboy25]

insurgents should receive weapons that ensure precision strikes against troops that are fighting just in order to prevent the death of innocent people

[robert0879]

Yea, your really fucking smart!-(Note the sarcasm for all the other idiots, hence he is not smart, but really, really dumb). Do you ever think about what you are going to type before you type it? Dude, go back to licking dick socks and know the relevance of what you are saying before you say it, because it just makes you look like a complete idiot!

[vampov]

If insurgents are fighting to protect innocent people how do you explain the actions of your troops (insurgents) that throw acid on young girls faces blinding them, or men that strap bombs on retarded children and get them to blow up civilians in crowded market places, or intimidating local tribes by cutting peoples heads off, lets not forget the people who threw gasoline on a kid and lit him on fire. These are not the acts of people protecting innocents.

[vsboy25]

brave Insurgent why are AMericans so weak they hide behind armour and wait for helicopters you know why because they are just all gear and no action as bin laden once said American soldiers are just like paper easy to crash unlike Russian soldiers who will die at a moments notice

[robert0879]

Again, go join the Taliban buddy, and I'll meet you on the far side, you ever got chased down by a pissed of Yankee with over 80lbs of gear, I will run you down, up hill, complete focus, with nothing on my mind but rage and to fuck you up for shooting at me and my dudes! The gear just enhances my survivability when I am closing with you across the OBJ to stomp your head in! AND FUCK THE STUPID PUPPY ALREADY!!!

[vsboy25]

subhumans i would toture them to death before they get the chance to kill anything else that is innocent

[smowk69]

vsboy~ must stand for viagra shit! Must be what your fighting for! Ya 5 dollar pizza 12 yr old play station inbred!!

[vsboy25]

No it stands for vexation surpreme but you still learing how to read and write so i dont expect you to know much

[sonny134679]

vs boy 25 irritating describes you but not anymore

[vsboy25]

sonny134679 your just a little weasel with a small dick who thinks war is fun well i have had it with marines and so on gloryfing war just watch some of the battles of world war 1 and 2 and you will soon stop thinking war is all about kicking ass buddy its misery on scale that you can not imagine .

[brother275Ranger]

and you would know this how? bet youve never even seen war except what you see on the news, grow up

[robert0879]

Or T.V., these fucking armchair generals! You know my bitch of an Ex-wife told me that once, "I know what you been through, I watch the news!", can you believe that shit? Some people just suck all around!

[mistydarlene]

Hey my husband is in this video.  I love you Schmidt. I loved the video.

[vsboy25]

Is your Husband one of those subhumans who kill the innocent and mock children and throw dogs of cliffs to vermin

that is a kick ass video 5 stars and share with my friends

[thetumta]

You fight when there's something on the table for you. Just alot of fools here that don't know the difference. Too bad, I don't like seeing Patriots misled. Fight another day for something that matters. Anybody that's in-country and thinks they know small unit operations? Like to hear from you. Choose your enemies carefully, they'll change as you get older. Hej!
