FNG, I appreciate the shoot out.. you guys are awesome keep up the good work. Those hats have been through hell and back.

I'm sure this sounds weird to many but this movie created a breaking point for me. About 18 months before the movie came out I had gotten back from Af-crap-istan which was a pretty tough deployment. I hadn't dealt with all the emotional things yet and six months before the movie came out I left the Army. I had read the book but when I saw this movie with my wife I was immediately swept back to deployment and being with my brothers. When the Chinook goes down I lost it. All of that stuff finally came out and I was balling my eyes out. I had to finish the movie of course but as soon as it was over I called up a couple of my good buddies and we chatted for a bit. Don't know exactly why it all happened but it did, and it was such a relief for not only me, but my wife who was dying to have me open up to her. Such a great movie and tribute to those guys.

I was just regular Army infantry, and this movie really shook me when I saw it. All the things you talk about with how they got the banter, the terminology, and the attitudes right, I felt like these were the same guys I knew and served with. The whole attitude of “if we can just get on level ground, we can take ‘em,” really got me. I only watched it once, because it was a very tough watch for me. Far more so than any other movie I can think of.

He was doing the Napoleon Dynamite dance. Tbe real life guy he portrayed was from my home town, Boulder City. His dad was a SEAL too. Such a hard loss.

I ended up meeting and becoming very good friends with the father of one of the Seals who was on that chopper that was shot down. After years of knowing him and him talking to me about the man his son was, it made me wish I could have met his son while he was alive. Unfortunately, this friend I had passed away a couple of years ago but the one thing that made his death bearable, was the fact I knew he was with his son again. For the time that I knew him, I know not a day went by, where his heart wasn't broken about the loss of his son and the guys on his team. Every year on the anniversary of this mission, I always hung out with him just so he didn't have to be alone, and so that he knew other people knew about the hero his son was. I'll definitely miss him.

Bilzerian was in the movie because he was one of the investors in getting it made. He ended up suing them because one of the stipulations of the investment was that he was guaranteed a certain amount of screen time in the movie, and they cut most of his scenes by the final edit.

Having seen the clip from Africa where the Green Berets were killed just recently, and now finding out you knew one of the men involved, it just really drives home the reality of what our soldiers go through. Much condolences and respect to you all. RIP.

I absolutely loved this movie. To know that actual SEALs had a large hand in training these actors to "get it right", speaks volumes to the validity of this epic movie. As an Army LRSD member who worked in 5-6-man teams, I can understand the "wired tight" mentality. When I first saw the movie, I understood how things could go south quickly. I probably would have zip tied the hands and legs of the young men to the elderly man, causing them to have to move very slowly to the Tally below. That may have given our team sufficient time to affect a successful exfil. Shout out to Marcus Luttrell, the Navy SEALs, all SFG (A), 75th RR, USMC Recon and veterans of all branches. RLTW! AATW! Great channel my big brothers of FNG Academy!!

Operation Red Wings...... Never forgotten. 🙏🏼🇺🇸💔

Best war movie yes, also complete bullshit factually and anyone who was on the ground in the AO that day knows Luttrell is a fucking liar. God rest his teammates.

I’m a 60 year old retired Submarine Chief. Love what you guys are doing, keep it up! As a note, the banter and hierarchy was a part of the Submarine community when I was on the Boats as well. Couldn’t agree more. All too often, movies get it wrong. And not everything is “hazing”. Testing your mettle and earning a spot at the table with other men in a select organization is how men are made.

My grandfather was was in Japan for WW2 and I remember him telling stories of the Japanese sending waves of villagers armed with farm tools like pitchforks and swords by the hordes and the tactic was for you to waste all your ammo on them so not to get chopped up and then they would send the regular Japanese solder's armed with firepower to finish you off. He would sometimes fall into flashbacks and think he was still there fighting. Must have been brutal my salutes and respect to the veterans

They nailed something that i've never seen in any other movie. When Danny the comms guy is shot up and starts asking questions at the top of his lungs. And when he notices the "vivid reds" because hes been checking out wallpaper colors all week. Or when he says "You mean they're faster than us? my mom didnt say anything about Hajis being faster..." That is absolutely authentic shock. "Hey Mikeeyyyyy!" SHUT THE FK UP!!!!!" amazing.

cool pick up on what the old guy said to them. they never show the translation so I too always believed he kinda thanked them for not killing them. "you will all die tonight"..is not what I expected. Great pick up boys, makes it even more intense. Ive seen this movie like 20 times.

As an afghan veteran I will remember this movie forever. May this warriors RIP.

You guys nailed it talking about the dance and what hazing really means. Good job brothers.

For the guys who are joining there are some great gems you'll find useful in this video. Especially about the mission brief break down. That was a great quick down and dirty explanation that people joining can use.

Worth the wait, definitely worth the extra thought and effort.

what about a fourth decision: taking the dudes with you, up the mountain, letting them go after you make contact?

I can remember the first news report of the full casualty list of the CH-47 going down. I was gobsmacked at the collective rank and warrior experience lost in one second. The montage at the end of this movie crushes me every time. Much respect, gentlemen. #Army #Airborne

Damn I wish this video was longer. I know y’all were just starting to feel that buzz 😂 and I could’ve listened to this all damn day

The talk around *13:00* to *17:00* about the new guy intiation also made me realize that the embarrassing or demoralizing tasks they might mak you do, is for you to get comfortable with the environment you'll be in for the rest of your career alongside your comrades. I imagine in the SF, you'd have to be comfortable around your team enough to be naked in front of them and do the most embarrassing shit and not put yourself down for it, cause at the end of the day; when you're in that team and your in a mission gone FUBAR, you and your team's comradery is literally the only wall separating you from death or capture. Being naked or embarrassed is literally nothing when your getting shot at with rockets, artillery or any other weapon trying to shred you in pieces.

To anyone that hasn’t read the book lone survivor, I highly, highly, highly recommend it. I remember my dad buying me this book, the original copy, back in 2007. I was in 7th grade when I first read it, it changed my life. I remember tearing up while reading this in my bed at night, just imagining what these guys went through and all the other things the movie doesn’t talk about. I remember reading the part about Marcus and his brother wanting to become navy seals at a young age and getting trained by Billy Shelton, a guy who trained people to go into SF. This put a spark up my a** to possibly try out for buds one day, i swam competitively for 21 years, worked out almost every day, did long distance running events, triathlons, hunting, shooting and a few other sports being completely obsessed with being in peak performance/shape with the mindset of wanting to become a seal. Whenever I’d be competing in any of those sports and thought I was at my limit or thinking about quitting I would think about this story every single time, thinking about what these guys went through, it would motivate me more then anything else and allowed me to find that inner strength to keep going. My senior year of highschool where im in the absolute best shape of my life and looking into joining the navy when I graduate, of course out of no where I met my ex girlfriend who I ended up dating for 6.5 years. When you’re young like that and in love for the first time it will take control of your life and take a lot of the focus away from things you wanted to do. I told my self the summer before senior year I wouldn’t date any chicks that last year of highschool for that specific reason of not having someone to take your focus and attention away from a goal that had been set when i was in 7th grade. Life happens and we will do some crazy shi* for women, unfortunately i never fulfilled that goal I set. I don’t like to regret any decisions I’ve made but there is a part of me that does regret a few things. I was about to propose after 6.5 years until I was physically abused by her and got cheated on towards the end of the relationship. Moral of the story to any young men out there, stay single as long as you can and focus on your self after highschool, do everything you want to do and never let a women or relationship dictate your life, it may seem like the best thing in the world but it can fall apart faster then you can blink. Go read this book though, you could make 3 different movies out of the story it tells. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read it, whenever I’m needing motivation I read the last half of the book, I have kept it on my bed shelf above my head since the day I got it. And to any fk faces out there that want to assume I’m a wannabe this or that, I can promise you I do not portray my self as something I’m not, I do not respect anyone who try’s to act or think they’re some bad ass secret squirrel hero. Nothing wrong with being young and reading something that has an impact on your life in a positive way. 🍻

Appreciate the mention of sleepless intel guys. I was a contractor in the S2 for Marines in Marjah B.I.T.D and very few people knew about the 28 hour days spent at the terminal, talking with local police, checking with coalition reps (Brits), briefing, then waiting for the mission to get back safe. I loved every minute and drank an irresponsible amount of coffee. Thank God for the piss tubes outside of the TOC.

I watched this at the theatre. After the ending credits you could hear a pin drop. When everyone exited the theatre, people were looking down and not making eye contact with one another. We were all fighting back tears. I watched it again as soon as it came out on PPV, this time I cried like a bitch.

My wife and I saw this movie when it came and at the end everyone got up and left so silently. You could tell they were just speechless. I have never experienced this before in any movie. Just incredible.

I was in RC South during Op. Red Wings. We got daily intel briefs, on the situation, it was heart wrenching. Thanks for covering this movie Brothers.

Thank you guys for your content and for your service. I was in Iraq in 2003 as a Heavy Construction Equipment Operator working on the IPDS. I can’t thank all the combative MOS’s enough for the security that was provided for us (too much support to mention individually). Having folks like you watch our backs made it a lot easier to get our job done.

Thank you for the after action review of this movie. Your comments based upon your own military service is awesome. I have also had a hard time getting in the right mindset to watch this great movie, but for a different and personal reason. Raised and lived in South Central Nebraska for most of my life, but I had the good fortune to attend a professional diving school in San Diego 1979-80. I got to dive many locations in Southern California, San Diego area from La Jolla, Point Loma, Mission Bay, Zuniga Jetty to the Mexican border and Cornado Islands, Mexico. I was also fortunate to have instructors who were former US Navy veterans with connections on Coronado. We used to dive during the day and then do nightly swim training at a local swim teams pool. We even had the chance to tour the US Navy BUDS/Seal training facility with a Seal who was one of our instructors in dive equipment repair and maintenance training. Really cool experience. Before the school had finished I was informed my mother had breast cancer, and my focus shifted to being with her and family as she started the long term chemotherapy process. (She was a strong woman and 25 year survivor of the cancer until being taken by a heart attack at age 68) After returning home I continued to love diving and used to take my equipment and do regular scuba training and familiarization events at the local public swimming pools. Where local patrons could get a hands on chance to try diving and maybe find interest in formal instruction and certification. I did this for almost 12 years when time and season would permit. I got many local kids and adults into diving over the years, who otherwise would have never had the chance to try it. Several of those that I saw years later remembered me and thanked me for giving them that opportunity. Another venture of mine was in outdoor sporting equipment and firearms/equipment sales and repair as a dealer for 13 years. During this time I joined the Nebraska Army National Guard an attended basic training and armor school at Ft. Knox, KY where I was trained as a tanker. I spent 3 years in tanks and 3 as 11C (infantry mortarman). Enlisted 1982, honorably discharged in 1988 after my 6 year enlistment was up. Living in a rural area of limited population you get to meet and know many of your neighbors and the counties families fairly well. Sometimes even their relatives when they are staying or visiting locally remember you from times past when stopping in to check out what sales and services a local merchant has to offer. Our county like so many others with lots of veterans and pride in those who served, wanted to honor servicemen with a local monument. So was born the Harlan County Nebraska Veterans Memorial, a miniature black wall located in the city park of the County seat in Alma, NE. I was honored when family members told me that they had reserved a space there to honor me for my military service, as well as my father an Air Force Veteran of the Korean war. We were joined by 5 more family members that are also were thanked for their service with mention on the monument too. First time I went to see the monument after completion was sort of overwhelming. I walked around it several times reading the names and dates of service of so many others who had served locally some KIA, MIA and many others still living that I knew personally. When I came to my name on the monument I paused and thought at first this was cool, but it hit me that many of those whose names where enshrined were no longer among the living and they had lost their lives in the service of the country. But my family and others reminded me this was to honor not just the fallen, but for all who had served with honor and came home alive as well. I looked again at my name and service information, and it was just sinking it that this should be be here when I too had passed on. I looked again at the memorial left, right, up down, others who had served the living and the deceased. Names I recognized and one of those names hit me hard, because it was one of the most recent of service members with family ties in the county who had given his life in service to our nation. I had met him a few times before and here next to my name was his. I had met him when he was in grade school and as teen. He had come back to Nebraska to stay with and visit family. I had let him use my SCUBA equipment when he was still in grade school at a local pool and later on when he had come back to go hunting with family and friends. He was one of the Seals who did not survive Operation Red Wing. Still not sure if I have the right to have my name next to his. But thank you for your service and sacrifice Danny. You will not be forgotten. SH

Awesome. Appreciated your insights into the Team Dynamic and what it's like when things get kinetic. It is an amazing story that will be told and retold long after we are gone and you guys are now part of that story because when someone looks it up they will also find your work.

Love these reviews. I always learn so much. Thank you guys both so much for your service.

Thank you all for your service. Standing on the wall for US

You can always say your gonna do things but you’ll never know until your in that situation but in heinsight it would have been best to make sure you had comms and a QRF on the way to the summit once your bird is 5 mins out you go and cut them loose until then they are a risk to everyone

I appreciate the review. You answered a question that was always on my mind when the team let the villagers go back down the mountain.

Damn good review guys, from a regular Navy vet (20 years). I love your breakdowns and style of doing so. I never saw any fast roping/door kicking/2-way range for the most part (2007 southern Iraq, rockets and mortars on the FOB, riots from detainees... Oh and 1 help crash in Laos 2010 JPAC mission). I was just, for the most part, a deep-water Navy man that saw a glimpse into some hot spots or danger. Respect to you all that went down the 2-way range.

Thank you both for your service!!

Finally the movie i'd been waiting for you guys to review. Btw I absolutely love it when Buck gets sidetracked w/ details of how it works in the real teams like when he explained who plans what for the ops.

Air support was such an important asset. Even as a show of force, it was always nice to know they were up above

I've watched this episode so many times. Love it. Great breakdown guys. Thanks for providing us with some great laughs, and knowledge.

I remember at my first unit when I was a pfc, my buddy was an e5 with 2 deployments and I were drinking one night and I was talking about I hoped I get to go down range like he did. He said exactly what y’all said. Be careful what you wish for. I ended up going to Afghanistan down the road. We were lucky and didn’t lose anyone from my company but our eod truck was blown up on one of our missions and we lost some guys from the brigade. I think back to what he said and realize the gravity of what he meant. I didn’t lose any close friends like a lot of guy out there luckily, but wishing for combat brings on a whole host of things that you’ll have to live with for the rest of your life if you get to come home

Remember seeing this film with my Dad in theaters. It’s a bad ass war film and something that doesn’t get talked about enough.

The input from each of you & as a team is great! Make these videos fun.

These guys are awesome! Thank you both for your service and continue with these bad ass reviews and sharing your expertise. Much love.

Intense to watch and learn from these 2 guys who know there stuff. I was just a sailor in the navy,but this is the big League. Thank you guys,love this.

This is 100% my favorite movie, always brings me to tears the drive to never give up, I'm so glad you guys did this one. Keep on rocking!

One of my favorite series on KZfaq! Love your work

Hey , just wanted to say how much I appreciate you guys thank you so much for your service to this country.

As a civilian, war, history buff and proud American, I stumbled upon your channel and can't thank you enough for your service and sacrifice !! I only watched this movie once, for reasons it's too tough to watch. My ignorance civilian mind wondered the same thing as to why our expertly trained SEALS couldn't do a better job of holding off and handling the enemy.... I completely understand it now through your explanation ! These types of movies and narratives should be taught more in schools !! Thanks for paving the way !!

I read the after action PowerPoint for this operation and sometimes you just have bad luck. Remember this was also 2005 and like Buck mentioned, assets were being pulled all over the place so its not like when I was there as a small UAS pilot supporting SOF and they got dedicated platforms. That being said, I saw an entire family (minus the males who were farming) walking on a 8,000ft ridge line carrying goods from the market a few valleys over. It's normal for the people in the NE part of Afghanistan to do high altitude endurance activities just to resupply their homes. To our forces, we were high up in Indian country but to them we're just in their backyard.

Whoa, wasnt expecting this one to make me emotional. Fantastic job sean

Older video, but I love the reactions you guys do. Always enjoy sitting down and drinking a beer, watching. Much respect for your service.

I love this movie, but after hearing you guys discuss it, the film and experience really hits home. I appreciate you guys.

You guys are awesome! Binge watched this channel all month such great chemistry and comedy. Cheer fellas! Thanks for the inspiration

Read red platoon. An army sergeant earned the cmh for his actions in Afghanistan. He talks about the stack and it is beautiful.

I really love this conversation and your explanation? I now like this movie even more now. Big THANKS!

Thank you Men for your reviews. The civilian pop will never understand the military environment, without feedback exactly such as yours. Thankyou. It's a pleasure watching your guys.

This opp didnt fail just because bad luck, from everything that I have read, it was very poorly planned. That is why you cant say it was just bad luck, then you do not learn from their mistakes. At the end of the day, SOF are human beings that make mistakes too. Out of all the successful missions to only have one end like this says everything that needs to be said.

Absolutely love watching your movies. Navy Vet. I was an aircraft director on aircraft carriers. I think you both should have shown when the new guy, Petty Officer Paton, was saying the SEAL Creed. I think it would have made sense to the viewers who are not vet understand that right of passage. Just my thought. Anyways, awesome job as always.

U GUYS ARE GREAT..THANK U FOR YOUR SERVICE GENTS..MUCH RESPECT!!

I've never heard the story that the Apaches got pulled off this QRF mission. I've always heard that they outran the Apaches in the Chinook. Because the Chinook is faster and they wanted to get on the ground ASAP. I believe one of the pilots wrote the book and talked about this.

Been waiting patiently for this one, I’m glad y’all took the time!!😤🥋

I love this movie and you guys are hilarious. When he says the “time card” line, one of his battle buddies whispers, “DOOOO ITT!” @32:56… 😂😂😂 HILARIOUS!

Had to get up and walk out when watching it. Not even that hardcore, just a regular scout/sniper in the 101st, and I started remembering all of the times I was on an OP with people who are no longer here. Just hit too close to home.

It is so awesome to hear you guys give a shout out to the 160th. They might be mentioned here and there in various movies and videos but by and large, people that don't know them, haven't worked with them, really have no clue just how badass these guys are, Death Waits in the Dark. Thank you for everything you guys do. Respect.

13 hours is a movie I tend to watch once every 8 months or so. Great review of this one fellas!

I've seen this movie so many times... and I still can't get enough of it!

39:22 I remember watching that vid when I was a younger kid, had the same feeling when I watched. Hits even harder knowing that you knew those guys.

This is great stuff! Great movie and great breakdown

The book is brilliant, it showed the Afghan Culture as the villagers sheltered an American soldier while getting threatened by the Taliban. The Terrain in Afghanistan has help chewed up every nation that's tried to defeat them, from Alexandre the Great, British Empire, Russians, etc .

great review boys, I learn something new each time I watch your videos. Keep up the good job

love yall thanks for these

One thing that’s pretty eye opening is that in all reality it was probably less than 10 hajis that actually took down the team. Marine assets and RRC (Ranger regiments tier 1 asset) had the area pretty well mapped out and who was there, it was about 10 dudes that killed that SEAL team. My Ranger platoon is the one that found him, (before my time though)and allegedly he had the majority of his mags still on him. Basically everyone knew this Op was a bad idea, the majority of SOF didn’t want to touch it, a large marine force was going to essentially clear the entire valley but instead SEALS decided at the last minute. After they got mopped up Rangers had to come in, start clearing the valley while RRC was in the area, called in air support and after the fact a Marine unit did end up having to clear it. Not a job for a small team, In all reality it should have been a two Ranger platoons with Air to move in and do what needed to be done, not a four man team.

"We're not the first country that's gone in there" AMEN to that. Good video gentlemen thank you.

man I saw this early in a special screening, It will go down as one of my most greatest memories I love this movie so much, so glad you guys did a breakdown!!

Thank you for this excellent review, I agree 100% the ones who are surely here in our hearts, would give you a huge thumbs up. I do have a question that I want to tread very lightly on, for the sake that I'm not well versed in many military tactics. When they encountered the goat herders, would it have been an option to take them along, further up the summit, then releasing them when backup was arriving? Thus not giving them a chance to alert anyone at the base before the extract. Again, thank you for this review, there's pollen in the room just seeing this, I cannot fathom ever been in harms way reliving these events. Again, well done review.

What I found interesting is the interviews with the people in the town said everyone knew they were there regardless of the goat herders. They all hers the helicopter and found the ropes

This review is definitely worth the wait for me. To be honest though, first time watching it myself, from the beginning to the end, it’s really hard for me to watch, just by seeing your friends being with you after having fun with stuff together on the base, then they’re not with you anymore as soon as shit hits the fan and things go wrong in an operation. Thank you Buck and Kurt for being able to do this review and breakdown of Lone Survivor, I’m glad you’re both able to take your time, considering how the movie realistically depicted the entire operation (though I understand that some things are changed up to not being so obvious to the baddies).

I have the audio book and listen to it a few times each year. Several parts get me every time I hear them. I know a movie has limited time but what the people did for his family while he was missing is amazing. How the local and military community came together for that family makes me emotional now just thinking about it. While the movie is amazing the book is even better.

I get goosebums listening to you speaking out of own experience and such. Damn nice vid and movie.

When they got to the what-to-do part of the movie my first thought was tie them up multiple times over and hand one a sharp rock that'd take 3 or 4 hours to slowly cut through. That plus the time for the them to untie the rest and run down the mountain would have given them a great start

Lmaoo Joe Exotic. Im not even going special forces but you guys are hilarious.

I remember seeing that video of the Tongo Tongo Ambush, it lights a fire inside me; one of the reasons upon many that I am pursuing a SF career.

Love your content you guys do an amazing job

This brings back some bitter-sweet memories. I was in SOAR when this happened. I remember exactly where I was and who I was with. The movie did a decent job of summarizing the events of the operation. NSDQ!

While this is an entertaining movie, I wouldn't exactly call it it realistic (although probably for the best) It was supposed to be a joint force mission with a much larger footprint but was passed on after seeing the available Intel and terrain by the Army unit,, This was a SDV (mini SEAL submarine) crew who only one of which had real recce experience that decided to go ahead with the mission because the SEALs were mission hungry early in the GWOT to be able to become a ground element within SOCOM (Then JSOC) which made for multiple bad mission decisions early on including this one by the SEALs... They were compromised from the drop zone and followed the next morning from the rope along their boot trail to their exposed observation point, the goat boy was not important to the ambush... Also most of the footage that you don't wanna see of the ambush aftermath shows evidence of a rather swift well planned attack by about 8-12 taliban(who even took the time to carry up their 90's VHS camera for the battle) I won't get into the recovered gear of the living and deceased shown on video and described by the Rangers and Special Forces involved in the rescue and recovery, but there was not much of a gunfight, atleast not 2 ways. Yes many of those Taliban were killed, but it was several days later with guided munitions. To be fair if my friends died due to terrible planning I'd probably also stretch the shiiiiiiiit out of that truth to make them look great. Although the satcom phone from an exposed position apparently did happen, according to GPS data and the award citation. More details are even more convoluted unless you know someone personally involved after the success of the book, movie, and Marcus Luttrell... maybe that's the best for the families and SEAL recruitment, but this movie and the book are NOT documentaries.

Those men, everyone of them are heros of the highest caliber of warriors. May the all rest in peace. From Marcus Luttrell team to seals to SF to delta to all forces who have fought for their brothers sisters country and those who are innocent.

Great review as always guys. Thank you. You should do a part 2 and go over scenes from the 2nd half of the movie

Great breakdown guys, appreciate all the additional insight to provide further context to this great movie and the tragic real-life circumstances that unfolded. I was wondering, if you guys are going to react to Green Zone? I remember it to be one of the earliest movies that didn't try to glorify the Iraq war and the things that may have been going on behind the scenes and I always wondered what your take on that would be, if there is ever a point where being just a small and potentially insignificant piece in a greater puzzle ever gets to you and affect your mentality?

Episode two of suggesting the "escape from tarkov raid series" which is about an hour and a half, in both russian and english (with subtitles) and focuses on the violent intensity of combat while developing a very interesting story.

We did a ridge crawl in Hawaii a long, long time ago, what looked like a 30 minute hike ended up 4 hours later and less than 1000 meters from where we started. Garbage! I love/hated that tour. Salute to those past and present. All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

Thank you for your service.

Will there be a part two of this breakdown… I was left wanting more!

Hell of a powerful film, good stuff guys.

This is one of the most interesting KZfaq videos I have ever watched on any topic. Great insights that most of us would never be exposed to.

I appreciate your time and insights into these films. I wasn't allowed to join because my spine shattered in a few places but I have the greatest respect and gratitude for every single person who has ever served our country. Thank you for the recommendation of 13 hours.

Im curious what you think of all the conflicting reports. Many involved in the rescue said the Taliban force was magnitudes smaller that what Marcus claims. The book says hundreds while other special forces guys say it was more like 10-20. The Afghan who rescued Marcus also says he lied about certain aspects. I know they also said Marcus had all his magazines still full on him when rescued indicating he didnt fire many bullets. Either way a compelling and heartbreaking story

Just recently found your channel and Damn!!! You guys are on it. As a veteran myself (90-96), your input is spot on for those that don't know. As you are aware, at 2:55 in your video, the battle dog in the middle is actually Marcus Luttrell. He was on set the entire film to make sure that it was as real to life as a film can be. He even advised so far as to say things like "Mike Murphy would never wear his com in that position, he wore it like this". Love the videos gentleman! New subscriber

Thanks for sharing this guys. I can just recall now that a high school buddy of mine who/we both graduated Basic at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, me in 95 and he in 96. We both went off to different AITs. I went to Ft Eustis VA as an 88H and I never knew where he went. Years later, we eventually ran into each other on Facebook. I learned that he was in SOAR 160th. Personally, I didn't watch Lone Survivor yet and I didn't know much about the Night Stalkers when I asked him what he was doing now (at the time), but I watched your whole review. When you guys mentioned at the end about the 160th being badass, I totally remembered my buddy and remembered that he posted a "Miss you brother" post for Sgt. Kip A. Jacoby. Now I'm like oh shit. I'm definitely gonna schedule time in for this movie and gonna contact my buddy as well. He's a Sgt Major somewhere now. Don't know where, but it's great to get in touch again. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. High Speed. Hooah!

One day the day will come when they review Generation Kill.

If you're considering TV shows for Beers and Breakdowns, then I would really recommend the Mayor of Kingstown. The show it self is pretty good, imo, but there's some scenes intermixed in the season with some SWAT taking action and even the National Guard. Love the videos!
