Wish you would not post this again and again. If you want to honor my brothers and team mate. Do some research and tell their stories with dignity. Every time this comes out, it rips through the families and the team mates. Think about that before you do something just to gain likes and clicks. Also, very few know the true story, so don't miss lead just to gain views.

The saddest part of the story is all the fools who support unconstitutional war efforts in foreign countries.

The commander of third special forces group was refused promotion to Brigadier general and basically his career was ended. The battalion commander was denied promotion to full colonel and his career was ended

​@Stephen-bq4nq at least that happened...

At least they paid for it a little bit

Like the politicians who ordered to go into this country.

He earned every bit of it that day.

La David was *not* a SOT-A (Special Operations Team - Alpha) however, I do believe some were attached to the team that was sent out. These guys are SIGINT collectors and are attached to ODAs.

​​​@@tonysmith4091 La David Johnson was not a SOT-A. He was not even in intel. He was a mechanic in 3rd Group. I'm not sure where you read or heard that but you can even see his branch insignia on his uniform, please don't spread misinformation.

@@DJ-fd4qk My mistake brother. Thanks for the correction. On another note, I should also say that the narrator for video kept incorrectly pronouncing the name of the country that the team was in. It was Niger (pronounced Ni szher--French name) NOT Nigeria lol. Just a side note in case anyone else was wondering.

I'm sure they would say that we need to be bolder than them

Me neither.

so it took french commandos to rescue fallen green berets which are American, disgusting

This is not an accurate telling of what went down. It turned into an absolute clusterfuck. Look up 'Niger Ambush' by the channel Stars And Stripes and it will give you a play-by-play telling, with satellite recreation and the actual, unblurred video, and you'll see what a desperate and terrifying situation they were put in. They were first failed by their own government for doing this mission in the first place when there was intel that this would absolutely happen if they stayed and had 'tea time' with the Elders (which gave the enemy time to set up), and they were absolutely betrayed again by the Nigerians with them who all sped off in a panic when the rounds began to pop off, leaving only the Americans exposed and alone with nothing but their rifles and a normal, civilian car that had no armor. They literally had zero cover. A civilian car can't stop a single bullet, it will shred right through. They had no chance in hell, they were dead 10 times over. I feel so sorry for them. I watched the original, unedited footage of the helmet cam that was released by ISIS as a propaganda piece, and I'll never forget how scared they were before they died. It was not heroic, it was just sad and disturbing.

Thanks mate!

The group that runs the former united states isn’t tryng to save the lives of it’s Europeans. It wants them all dead. Especially in foreign lands fighting for people who they are not of.

I feel you and I get why many would think so when the whole US military is as powerful as it is, but all too often it is bureaucracy and budgetary/logistical reasons that keeps that from being the case. Unless an operation is happening at a specific time and place in which they are actually expecting combat to take place, the amount of effort and money it takes to transfer/maintain all of those said resources to be waiting on standby over there for every operation just isn’t always going to be there; this is especially so when AFRICOM operations weren’t as high of a priority at the time compared to other places. From what I understand, this was originally supposed to be more of a diplomatic mission to establish good relations and gain intel while training with local partner forces (very routine mission for SF). Unfortunately, they just weren’t expecting such a large contingent of fighters to be waiting in ambush for them on their way back. The ambushers knew they would be arriving beforehand and had plenty of time to plan their coordinated ambush. Nonetheless it is really unfortunate that this happened, and I do agree with your sentiments in wishing that they had more resources to support them on-hand that day. But situations similar to this happen more often than people realize; it’s just that when it happens as bad as this on a single operation that the public ever learns about it because multiple grieving families from the same unit learn about it at once so the media picks up on that.

All of that and they can't beat poor farmers in Afghanistan or Vietnam 😂

Why did they need to go back to recover more remains of Johnson?

The military doesn’t secure the country…commerce and trade do. When soldiers are called to these places it’s because a business deal went bad. War is about money 💴. If there isn’t any financial gain then there is no reason to go to war. This country has never been in real Jeopardy since WW2 and when we should go to war over morals we look the other way I.e. Russia and Ukraine, China and Taiwan, Israel and Palestine. Soldiers of today are used as nothing but pawns for corporations that the us government is In Bed with. Think I’m lying? Take a look at how much revenue all the top us oil companies made during the wars in Afghanistan. Soldiers losing lives just so engineers and contractors could build roads just to transport oil from those Afghanistan pipelines. People really need to open their eyes. Why were these men in Africa in the first place? For the same reason Russian soldiers are in Africa. It’s always about controlling resources and eliminating the local oppsition. These men had no business being there in the first place. The department of defense knew that. They didn’t want this operation to go public but it failed and the us got caught with their hand in the African cookie jar.

Why are you grateful for these men ? they was in a country that is not theirs fighting a war wish is not theirs either. fighting an enemy "to them" who dont want them in their country. Turn the steak around. if alot of africans came to USA with armor trucks trying to impose their values on a people who dont want there values. would you think this is ok. ? you all have a one way mind. Just like in Texas, if a person enters your property, you have the right to defend it. These fool americans are in other peoples property, called Africa. so go away from where you dont belong.

They complain about budgets but will risk the lives of soldiers who cost millions just to train. They have no problem justifying the loss of life over equipment and money. Africa is fucked overall, always has been and always will be. The only reason they abuse American SOF is to babysit Nato’s assets for other countries and their resources. And to further aid and influence so the CIA’s hand picked leaders can buy time as a show of confidence for the people. Any general who sends in a SOF unit without proper support or air coverage should be asked to resign, because its beyond reckless. These soldiers are not plentiful and less and less are recruited each year and you have less career servicemen then ever before.
