It’s worth knowing that Mohammad Gulab, the man who saved Marcus, managed to escape the Taliban and is living somewhere free from the Taliban’s grasp. That man put his entire family in danger for helping a foreigner, much respect to him
I do not have military experience, but having a degree in theology leads me to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and and the story of Lot and his family. Many are confused as to why Lot would offer his daughters to the evil crowd? And he also offered sleeping quarters for the Angels.( he probably was not aware they were Angels at the time?) Anyway, my point of the story is, that this is part of the laws of hospitality in the Middle East that go back 3,500 years or more. Those laws of hospitality stayed in Middle East culture even before the founding of the Muslim religion. Even then, this Afghan villager put his life and his family's life on the line for this American who is a complete stranger! I am so happy the USA granted him Asylum status and I hope he's living happily in the USA even though it must be a very strange experience for him? He is certainly a man of character. I would be honored to meet him one day.
although everyone shits on joe for being a moron he still has an amazing ability to let his guests talk without interrupting. if you listen to any other podcast the host always try’s to interrupt but joe always has patience.
did you ever listen to the nine-one-one call when he came back he's been out for a while and somebody drove by and they killed his dog. And he was chasing them through the counties.and the 911 operator was like okay could you back off you guys know they killed my dog. It was like John wick before John wick
@@barrykitchen8200 I believe the inspiration for the John wick movie was based on that. I read that somewhere so don’t quote me on it but I’m pretty sure John wick was based off that 911 call
@Blulos Look it up 🤦 He the only one that lived that can say what happened so let that sink in for a minute. What I know that surrounds this operation, I can tell u that u know nothing besides what u think u know from reading something that someone wrote that wasn’t there 🤷🏻♂️ we call people like you sheepy sheep 😁
@Alex Dane The villager guy who found him said he had all full magazines in his plate carrier and I’ve also seen the Taliban’s footage of the ambush. As blurry as it is, it’s clear enough to be able to tell that Hollywood greatly exaggerated the number of Taliban combatants. Throughout the firefight you can hear the other 3 seals screaming for his help as he was their combat medic, but he had already ran for the hills. Now I’m not necessarily blaming him for doing the smart thing and wanting to avoid his certain death, but he was not a regular joe like me he was a SEAL. The movie portrays his actions as a heroic last stand, fighting and tumbling down a mountain against hundreds of Taliban until the last man, which was not the case. He ran, the real American heroes died on that mountain.
I can also see some confusion, as if he gets lost in his story at some points. It doesn't just flow out and sometimes he seems pretty vague in his answers.
Heres a short story to testify to Marcus' character. Last year in May my hometown was ravaged by a tornado that killed people and destroyed hundreds of homes. I own a landscaping company so I have quite a few chain saws and helpers I can call on and help. I was up on a roof clearing east Texas pine trees off of peoples houses when three guys showed up to volunteer work. One of the guys was naturally leading the other two and when they climbed up on the roof, Marcus (I had no idea who he was) climbed up to where I was and ASKED ME, what can we do to help boss? He worked on that roof with me for nearly 5 hours in the Texas heat and then continued to help out all around the neighborhood for the following week. I would have never known who he was until someone in the town recognized him a few days later and posted on fb about it. He never name dropped, no catchy T-shirts, or anything like that. He was truly just heartbroken to see the devastation my town had gone through and came to help. This man has broken his body for our country so I know he was hurting on that roof with me but I would have never known.
I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus a few months ago. He came into my work. Him and his family & friends were vacationing at the resort I managed at. I was just chatting with his friend about how it was my last day at work because I was leaving to go into the service. He needed some help carrying drinks back from the bar, and I had volunteered to help. I had no clue what was about to happen. His friend said, “ I have someone you need to meet.” I told him okay and followed him over to where they were sitting. Marcus introduced himself and shook my hand. I was speechless. I felt so minuscule and almost embarrassed. I was just some girl who was working at the hotel, and just starting my journey into medicine with the military. This man is an absolute legend. Why is he talking to me? Marcus immediately started asking me questions. Where are you from? What are you trying to do? What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? He was on vacation and he made me feel like I mattered enough to stand in front of him. What an absolute HUMBLE human being. I wasn’t trying to take up his time, but he wanted to know more. He really seemed to care. At the end of the conversation he shook my hand again and said, “welcome to the family (military fam), and goodluck with your adventure.” I will forever remember that interaction. What a genuinely great guy ❤ You can’t fake that kind of sincerity.
Thankyou for mentioning their names. These brave men had names and families. Massive respect for the men of Operation West Wings and all American veterans whose stories and names are not mentioned.
lol God dont bless liars and murderers , what is wrong with you americans ? God never bless america because they killed so many innocent people in this world..
@@th3realjorel he ran away while his team mates were wounded and captured and executed by heroic taliban fighters. all dead SEAL have execution style headwound at close range
@@stimulatemyexistence5669 so why was Marcus found with all his magazines on him then? Whys there video on RUclips of the actual firefight and you hear his teammates screaming at Marcus? Even the fucking dude who saved him it wasn't upto 200 people but closer to 20 they were fucked the before they even landed in that loud ass chinok
I love how Joe didn’t jump in the gaps where Marcus was pausing. Such a pro move on Joe’s part. Respectful of Marcus’s experience and his way of sharing it...
Think joe knows Marcus is reliving moments of his story as he tells it, the thirst in that moment. The different Memories and feelings as he tells the story must be a trip. Dude strong
Part of that is because things probably didn't go down the way the book and movie said it did. By his account there were "hundreds" of insurgents, but in reality it was probably between 8-15. Still out numbered, but 4 seals with the most advanced weapons should be able to put up enough of a fight to at least stalemate them. His magazines were also almost completely full when he was rescued, that was verified by the Afghan local that saved him as well as the Berets that came to collect him. Saddest of all, he told everyone that his 3 teammates were dead, so the guys took their time searching for the bodies, but Axelson was very likely alive for days still, and may have survived if the rescue teams didn't think he was already dead. Much of the official story got changed from what actually happened so that the Navy could use this as a recruitment tool.
I was thinking the same thing. That thousand yard stare is very real with him. Can tell some very traumatic happened to him. Don’t even have to know who he is
Yeah, he’s staring off into the distance. Remembering. Reliving it. I bet he remembers what it smelled like. He looks as though he’s almost brought to tears more than once. Powerful stuff
I like that Joe let him have them moments of reflection, didn't keep asking him anything or interrupt him. Powerful emotions going through him right there, this was truly Powerful JRE.
What makes it a great interview is Joe wisely stayed silent a a couple seconds and let Marcus gather his thoughts to keep telling his story rather than jumping in.
This man is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO! ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE KINDEST, NICEST MEN I'VE EVER MET! We are so lucky, he came to Detroit Catholic Central High School today. Gave an amazing and powerful speech for the grand opening of the the Science, Engineering Lab, Tech school addition to CC. Spoke w/my son (Michael) for a good 10mins & was kind enough to take a picture. Shook hands and spoke w/ everyone there! Blown away by how genuinely incredible of a human being he is!
He goes to this Catholic Church in magnolia Texas. I shook his hand every Sunday morning. For a year. But my wife and I decided to start going to the Catholic Church near our home in Waller Texas.
He sounds like he's on the verge of tears, then his tone breaks out into "bragging" to deflect his feeling of guilt. That choking sound never fully disappears. This dude is *the. real. deal.* As human as they come, having survived one of humanity's greatest challenges.
What gets me though is like he needs a hug like everyday lol he needs two therapists one at breakfast and one at dinner , he needs it all. He’s literally carrying around a rock of upset in his head shit he will ever let go! You see him pause when he starts up a new thought, he is living it all over again In that moment.
The people that saved this man are Pushto people. They have an ancient code that says if they befriend you as a foreigner to the land, regardless of your religion or culture, they will protect you to the death against anyone. They have the heart of lions, and are not afraid of death. This is why many armies have tried to conquer these lands and have failed countless times. Proud to be a Pathan for this reason. Bless this man for at least touching upon this fact in the movie and educating the masses that not all of us are bad people.
I love that joe sat and gave this man the complete opportunity to talk and to tell the story. No constant interruptions and giving the respect that’s due
Luttrell is the definition of a coward, he then turned his back on Gulab, the man who risked his own life to save him, this shows how little Luttrell cares for those around him.
He's talking about his rifle, dropping it, and his boys reminding him he'll need it. He was the only American left on the mountain. His boys had drawn their last breath 24 hours prior. He's talking about it like they were right there by his side with him. That's some heavy shit.
He's talking like his dead brothers are making sure he doesn't leave his rifle behind from the afterlife. There were so many occasions where he is falling down a mountain, rifle out of his hands and somehow when he lands the rifle ends up right by him.
He lied about his encounter, they didn't kill any people. They were successfully ambushed and he hid. He didn't even fire a single shot. This is corroborated by the marines who rescued him. And the man who rescued him.
The comment he makes about his rifle. “I couldn’t throw that thing away, everytime I’d lose it 1 of my boys would be like, “hey you’re gonna need this”.” That hits hard considering the fact he’s talking about their spirits. That’s amazing.
@@Dinamite4 as soon as he said it, it hit hard. He watched his team/friends die and still knew they were with him helping him survive. Other times he speaks about this situation he says it loud and clear “my boys helped me survive, they were right there with me” not necessarily exact wording but he doesn’t ever claim to have done it alone. Amazing guy.
@@johnnylevitz4310 yea. it became clear to me when he was talking about Gulab and the shampoo story, then kept asking "I don't know why I didn't kill him." The way he asks it. The glass of liquor he had in front of him was probs the only reason he got as detailed as he did.
Probably trying to think how to keep his phony story consistent, Mohammad the guy who saved him pretty much has called him a coward who hadn’t even fired a shot saying he had 11 full magazines on him and other stuff that blatantly contradicts his story. I’m sorry but I believe the guy that has no financial gain from lying and is the only reason this guys alive in the first place that he backstabbed and doesn’t even talk to him now.
How horrible… you get to know 3 best friends and then watch them all die and come back home alive. Brave man, I wish you and your family the absolute best.
It’s all a lie bro. Do some research. It was a huge fiasco for the Navy bc of the complete incompetence of Marcus’ team. They made so many mistakes. Remember all those claims from Marcus saying he fell off the backside of all the mountains, causing all those cuts on his face? Look at pictures of him leaving the compound in June 2005. Not a scratch.
Man we can’t even comprehend the PTSD this guy experiences everyday. You can see the flashbacks with each pause while he speaks. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
I thought exactly the same thing. Usually when someone pauses like he did Joe will comment. He didn’t in this interview and I appreciated why he didn’t.
I like how Joe just let’s him talk and doesn’t interrupt him at all . Edit: I like how people read this comment and gave it a thumbs up . Thanks for the likes 🤗
You can tell this man truly is hurt by what he saw. Whether he remembers or doesn’t, adds to the story or doesn’t. This man is hurt and left for dead and came out on top.
Joes ability to listen and absorb is beyond this world. Even when Marcus was silent and you can see it all coming back in those moments. Great job Joe and thank you Marcus.
Marcus had 11 wounds that were through and through. He suffered a broken pelvis and a broken back. He bit his tongue in half. He had countless other lacerations and injuries. That is verifiable. To live through that alone gets all my respect.
@@PlastiForge I'm sure his experience, while having 22 bullets and shrapnel wounds, a broken back and pelvis, half a tongue and numerous lacerations, was probably different than that of the guys that rescued him. After 19 other soldiers were killed and he had crawled 7 miles with that broken back, pelvis, 22 wounds, half of a tongue and other lacerations I am sure his point of view was different.
@@tuckthefide74 go to Google and type in “marcus luttrell reddit” there’s a post titled “daily reminder that lone survivor marcus luttrell is a liar and an enormous sack of shit”
And then read some of that. There is even conflicting reports with video and photo of Marcus at the time of capture where he is fully clothed and all his mag pouches are completely full. Reports of very little spent brass casings too.
He's handling it good, He's a strong mofo, I don't even talk about a couple car wrecks I've been involved in because I get wigged out. I can look up to this mans strength.
He has PTSD but him stopping is not because of it. When he stops he is recalling what happened and finding the words to describe how he was feeling and thinking while telling his story. I've watched people behave the same way when telling a story about something good that happened to them and they stop, think and find the words to describe what they were feeling while telling their story.
The way he says "you know the way you can smell death when it's there?" As though it's something everyone can relate to chills my bones. This man has seen and done things your average man has nightmares about.
Its not the smell of the air as much as like, the stench if your own panic… if you’ve ever been fearful for your life, or trying to kill someone.. you can almost smell the animal coming out of you.

@@SwissMarksman Yeah with a name like norwegian gangster do you really think anyone gives a fuck what you think, furthemore you're calling him a coward in the comments section on youtube where you're probably going feel validated by random people. Its sad, please stop
@Ben-lv6tj The militarys own after action reports show this whole retelling/story was a lie. It was only 20-30 Taliban and the SEALs didnt kill a single enemy combatant, evidence also shows Marcus didnt fight at all and ran.
If he is anything like the rest of us, it comes and goes. The more we distract ourselves by staying busy, the less it bothers us. Man, what he went through, dude must be going 10,000mph with his hair on fire every day.
He looks like a recovery, Just my opinion and not factual, but he went through hell and looks and acts like he struggled when he got back. Which should be so understandable. I hope he's doing well now
Thanks a lot for this episode. If you guys loved it too, I would recommend everybody to check what hell Mohammad Gulab had to go through after saving Luttrell. He and his family got attacked several times. To my actual knowledge he got shot at least 2 times in 10 years. One time he and his wife had to fight off taliban forces with assault rifles in front of their house. One of his nephews got shot in the head. He lost family members, his company in Afghanistan (destroyed by taliban), his land and his home land. And even to the end he defended his actions. Folks please check his side of the story too, especially the part how he got to america and the difficulties, for me personally beyond imagination. Luttrett talked about a rough week (which must have been death for most of us), but for Gulab and his family the hell continued for at least a decade or so. For me it was heart breaking to read. This Family is special. Really special.
I would love to see a movie at least as good as Lone Survivor, but showing everything throughout Gulab's perspective. We never get to know what it's like for these mountain men
@Achraf h it was a little bit more complicated than that. If I got it correctly there were also misunderstandings due to language barrier and maybe wrong translations. In the end it became a burocratic nightmare. If you like to dig deeper I would recommend you to check the perspective of Wilder, his attorney, who fighted for Gulab without payment.
@@bromidrosis3238 Crazy to me that anyone supports the US during our occupations in the Middle East to the point of getting their family members killed, we don't even treat our own soldiers right let alone the people fighting for us
My father is a veteran he did 19 years in the Navy and he's trying to get ahold of a 91 Sportster motorcycle to make into a Memorial bike. He watched 195 Marines get blown to Hell and Back Again over in Beirut Lebanon. The only reason why I'm even commenting this is because I saw the Harley-Davidson tagging your name. Maybe you can point me in the right direction
You are Awsome for understanding what your hubby went through. Hero’s….. yes they are but it’s the last thing they want to hear as some of there mates didn’t come home. I really respect you for caring Jessica your man is in good hands. Tyrone be at peace my brother.
You are all witnessing PTSD in real-time. An incredibly powerful moment that no movie could ever reproduce. Thank you Mr. Luttrell for sharing this story, how you can relive this horrible event, stay composed, and tell the world on a podcast is beyond my comprehension.
I find it chilling when Luttrell says, "Haven't thought about that in a long time." Just the tone...you can tell he isn't talking about a birthday party
@Victor Palacios understating can be powerful. For me the comparison to a memory about a birthday party helped clarify the vast chasm that separates many people's common reality with Marcus's.
I don't think this man is who you think he is. There's evidence that he was found with 11 mags still on his kit when he was found and video evidence of his teammates yelling for him to help. The video also only shows around 7 or 8 enemy combatants. Also the Afghan guy who saved him, Gulab, was quoted as saying the real story is nothing like what they portrayed in the movie.
You guys know this guy left his buddies to die right? He still had full mags, while everyone else on his team had no more mags and were still up on the mountain fighting gor their lives till their last rounds.
You could seriously see it when he went back to thinking how God damn thirsty he was, just zoned out for a second and went straight back, so heart-wrenching to see.
@@HitzThaDon The podcast was cut short too. He went for a piss and it was the usual part where Joe was like "Go pee I'll talk to Jamie" and it ended. I assumed he might have had enough of remembering it all in extreme detail and just decided to end it there.
yep, I could see myself in him as he would cut in and out of the story, getting lost in details, etc. It's a frightening sensation. Too much for me to listen to the whole episode. God bless everyone who's suffering from it.
Marcus Luttrell is a good man. You can still tell how much this event fucked his head up. Its still extremely real for him when he has to recollect it. Nothing but prayers for him, his family, and the families of all the fallen heroes of that operation.
As a survivor of trauma of the very worst kind, I was right there in his skin with him when he was talking. PTSD is so lied about these days the ones that really have it can see it instantly.
Damn when he started talking to joe like joe was the rangers who came to save him...”when y’all came I couldn’t believe it” I had frickin goosebumps...
That really stuck with me. The way I took it was that he was referring to “ya’ll” as the country/people of America, and Joe being in front of him as a representative of us, i.e. Americans/America.
@@literallyshaking8019 Bingo, and he always tells it like that too. When he told the story in front of a congregation shortly after he was home it was pretty powerful. It’s on RUclips.
God Bless this man. I know he has been through much, but he had me laughing when he said he never knew what to do. All that training and he never knew what to do. We all are simply human. But he did know what to do because he made it home alive. God Bless him.
His emotions on certain events you can just feel his pain. His ptsd must be terrible. I’m a combat veteran but these type of men are a different breed. Nothing but respect.
He lied about his encounter, they didn't kill any people. They were successfully ambushed and he hid. He didn't even fire a single shot. This is corroborated by the marines who rescued him and the man who rescued him
I’m a disabled combat vet too with some pretty rough PTSD but this man is legend. A fucking hero. A man I’d walk into hell with and carry a smile with me as well doing so knowing I’m gonna be okay with him by my side
When Marcus is talking about how thirsty he was while crawling along the ridgeline, he pauses. You can tell he went right back to that moment as if it happened yesterday. Damn
It’s almost like he’s speaking a foreign language or something. In which you’re relatively familiar with and identify with. Yet, still highly ignorant of and in the dark about.
He’s trying to recall the lies that have been spun. He’s a hero from other missions I’m sure but this total fuck up of a mission he cowardly left his friends to die and it was covered up
@@ratty2012 No, this is the most likely truth based on hours cross referencing all available information from credible witnesses in the public sphere. Military professionals who visited the site made many of these points but were silenced, also accounts from the villager who saved him. Accounts from all the villagers who heard the drop also. Finally, actually watching the unedited footage the Taliban filmed while killing the team. If you want specific example of something ask me. The only point which is debatable is the 11 magazines, maybe he had less and the villagers exaggerated but he certainly had many many clips left. Also, this is taken from the only consistent points in Marcus story that haven’t changed over times. There’s so much more I haven’t even included, I hoped it would be just enough to make people bother to look into it themselves. But no, cos ‘Fuck yee America is the best’ attitude and the media spoonfeeding makes people gullible and stupid
He left Murphy to die slowly from the elements, Murphy shouted for him to go back for him in the audio recording but he just continued to "roll" away, only to be rescued and found with several unused mags. God, this guy is such a freak, even observing how he performs this little story makes it so apparent that it's a lie.
He said at one point “we all died”. Was hoping Joe would have asked if he felt a piece of him died with them. Everyone knows the answer but to hear him speak it would be legendary.
God gave me these four steps via divine revelation. He said anyone who does all four are guaranteed a divine revelation of their own. They are the mustard seed of Faith, the bare minimum amount of effort he's willing to accept before he reveals himself to you personally. Believe or not, do for yourself and see. Forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. There's deep spiritual significance in these steps. Every one is important, and it's the least God accepts. Three books of the bible will be enough for the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. I'm not talking about signs, feelings, etc, but am honest to goodness one on one conversation with God. An actual meeting. Unmistakable, and unable to be misinterpretaed. He told me that he's guaranteed the steps to work 100%. You just need to do them guininly. It's not hard. Do those steps in that order please. It's all True. I promise.
He sure as fuck did and he'll tell you himself. The lucky one, the unlucky one. He sure as hell did. Fuck though, "one hell of a week" for a man who trained in hell for most, and regularly survived in hell for all (hot sand, hot sky), too say one hell of a week... to say that was hell. I'm a doubter. I don't doubt that.
@@clickt8813 yea mate I understand that would be the case for sure , incredible strength to get through the day , that’d leave some massive scars seein what he seen

When he paused I teared up. That shits sad. You can see his PTSD. My uncle served like 28 years and did three tours with the army and when he does the stare and pause you know he’s back there... he almost died twice and lost so many friends, you just don’t say anything and just let them do it. I guess it’s what they call the thousand yard stare. Had him over for a cookout one summer and he was telling me stories while we sat alone outside in my front yard and he just paused and stared off for 10 seconds.
I've lived with PTSD most of my life, had it before I enlisted because of a really shitty home life on a farm in BFE. I got beaten a lot, not the point of this though, going to war in 1990 and again in 2004 felt like going home. Its not always that we are back there when we trail off or just stare at something, we can be reliving any time in our lives, good, bad, completely random and routine, or horrific, you never know what will pop up or why. It helps to talk about the stories, to pass it along. Somehow it removes the emotional power it has over us to talk to random people about it, as long as they actually give a damn. There are things we won't talk about, things we only talk about with other veterans, and then the stuff we will talk about with anyone. One interesting thing is anniversary dates. I usually have no idea what day it is unless I have an appointment or something. Haven't worked a normal job in 16 years so they kinda blend together. Occasionally I will have a shitty day, wake up a wreck, irritable, hateful, hyper vigilance going haywire, anxiety off the charts our around the edges of the solar system, and I have no idea why. Its a day from my past that something happened, an anniversary. Somehow my mind knows even when I have no idea what day it is. Once you get to be ok with it, rewire your mind so you can detach the emotions from the memories (not easy to do: a massive understatement) then learn to utilize things like the hyper vigilance/scanning to your advantage, like not getting speeding tickets or in accidents, life gets more bearable and figuring out all these things you do automatically becomes very interesting. Like walking into a Taco Bell making a quick scan, then knowing how many people are in the place, what they are wearing, how much of a threat they are, where the exits are, and where to stand or sit so nobody gets behind you, all in a quick glance. Its completely subconscious. Makes you feel super human, until you get worn down from watching too many people and you start to get irrationally pissed off. I don't go anywhere on Black Friday or other holidays like that. Hell while writing this I lost my train of thought and relived some time way back for a while. I find it helps to write about things, because the typing takes enough brain power to let me talk about it without thinking about it. How to write it becomes more pressing than what I am writing about. Something I just noticed. My posts tend to be rather long, probably due to part of that.
@@SweatyFatGuy what you said is 100% true. My brother was the last soldier killed in Iraq in 2008, and although I never served, I have PTSD from childhood traumas/street life. I find myself doing the same scanning thing and tactical awareness assessments. I was a military brat, and ate sleept and breathed PT as a youth, reading every nonfiction a soldier wrote I could get my hands on. This guy should write a book about his story in more detail. because as you said it does remove the power that trauma's hold over us to talk about them to people that care. That's something I learned through the Holy Spirit and biblical principles, if we confess our sins to each other his faithful and just to forgive us. But not just sin, traumas and everything else seems to be at ease when we talk about it. I felt this mans pain when he'd go through memory lane. and you can tell it's things he literally has not thought of since they happened; so I think him writing a book could be a good way to bring some emotional healing to him.
You know whats SAD? The PTSD the U.S army caused all the children in the middle east. All the children you killed in the middle east. You killed 500k children in Iraq alone
Luttrell is the definition of a coward, he then turned his back on Gulab, the man who risked his own life to save him, this shows how little Luttrell cares for those around him.
sofrep.com/news/lone-survivor-uncovered-the-ambush-at-sawtalo-sar/ He's lying so that probably makes it even harder. “If I’d known that Marcus was such a dishonorable person,” he says, “I would not have come to America.” -the guy who saved him
As a vet who served after you i just want to say thank you Marcus. My pop tells me stories too before he passed away last year. I have no direct family left and your story reminded me of the good old times. I just wish I never left the field.
Watching and listening to this American HERO in his own words, what happened to him, is HEART WRENCHING. Marcus Luttrell, you are beyond brave. GOD BLESS you.
Please look further into this incident and don’t take what people say at face value. Luttrell is a liar and his actions might’ve gotten his team-member Axelson killed. Members of the SOF community have talked about there even being drone footage of Luttrell running away from the firefight (it was his first firefight iirc) and members of his team asking for him to help on the radio, but he ran away. When the Green Berets and Rangers that came to help them out found Marcus, he wasn’t very helpful relaying information back to them to help recover the bodies. He told them they were all dead, but he had no idea if they actually were. From there, the Rangers and Green Berets went on a more slow, methodical approach to the hill instead of rushing up there to potentially save someone who may have actually been alive for days in the woods and wasn’t rescued because his teammate ran away and said he was dead. The Navy took a horrible operation that changed it into a PR stunt to make Luttrell to be the hero. They basically gave him an ultimatum, tell the truth and be exposed for being a coward or lie about what happened and become a millionaire. Now, we know the path he took.
@@edm240b9I'll take your advice from the first sentence and take everything you say with a grain of salt. I've also done my research and will take Lutrell's side all day long.
@@joshuaphillips8958 look up the video “The Wrongest Book Ever Written.” It talks about not only how much Luttrell has contradicted himself on the mission, but also talks about how people who were also there remember things differently as Marcus talks about it.

@Chris La PointeMaking what up? Did you read the article? No possible way they faced 80-200 enemy combatants. He said the correct number right after the even and it kept climbing as the months went on. 10-20 enemy isn’t good for books or movies. Not gonna spoon feed you but this guy is making money off false claims and 19 dead service members. It’s sick.
This man is carrying some next level shit around in his mind. I can’t begin to imagine the things he’s had to work through and straighten out in order to function on a normal level. Huge respect for him and for those who risked their lives to keep him safe and those who went out to rescue him, proper men and women who can stand tall.
For some reason I believe Marcus was born for these experiences. No.matter how horrible and ungodly it was , this man was made for this and he looks at it like it's his.job
He seems to be happy and is enjoying his life with his family. I doubt a man like that cares a lot about being rich. Sure he has some money but he just seems to be happy and that's what matters.
Joe doesn't do interviews. This is a straight conversation and sometimes you just have to let a guy have his moment, it's so cool how Joe doesn't interrupt any of this, including his pauses, he just gives him all the time in the world.
When he stops, stares and says “man I haven’t thought about that in a while” you know he’s seen and is thinking of stuff most of us will never be able to comprehend
Marcus has been through some shit none of us will ever be able to imagine. There’s no way that he’s ever gonna be able to talk about this ordeal and not be so amped up. God Bless you Texas Frogman !!!
@Eduardo Babyhands yeah I’ve seen those stories too. I still say there’s only a few who know the truth and I know I wasn’t there, you probably weren’t either. Hollywood has been known to super fabricate stories and authors too, it’s how they sell it. Have a good day !
It’s crazy when he looks at Rogan and say “it’s crazy how you guys got me, I can’t believe you got me” it’s like he talking to the rangers who saved him instead of Rogan while looking at Rogan. He relives it in vivid detail when talking about it.
This is why veterans who actually see combat don’t discuss it much. My grandpa did some awful things in WWII, getting him to discuss it was nearly impossible.
I think you guys are the US as a whole. How is one of those guys. He describes the asserts used. It’s possible his patriotic mindset would consider that the whole fuxking United States came to rescue him. It sounds like we put a lot of assets into position and succeeded. As a fellow vet, I salute him and his boys.
I got choked up listening to him...especially when he said about being thirsty and how he hadn't thought about this for a while... SHEESH!! MUCH RESPECT BRO, from one service member to another. Nothing but respect
I believe his story is crazy but I believe he’s lying about some of this. Idk why people do that. They take a crazy story and feel the need to make it crazier.
@@bronmill33 I mean no disrespect by this but many people do the same thing. Can you even put a pin back into a grenade? I’m asking. I thought they go boom when you pull the pin.
7:24 is a slip up. “and then the Taliban came in and snatched me up” then watch that snap reaction when he hears Joe speak next. The realization and worry. There’s so much more to this story.
You can tell he'll never be the same again. He went through one of the most insane experiences a human could ever go through and survived. Fuckin warrior.
Ohh, as a vet, that was hard to watch, we repress those memories, but when they come out like that... He handled. Kudos to Joe for just letting him speak his truth, thats healing and that is whats great about Joes Podcast. Love it.
Man. You ain’t lying. I’ve never served in uniform, but have been a first responder for 10 years. When those memories come back, you just seem like lose 5-15 minutes from thinking about between 5-15 seconds of events. That’s how harrowing those events, and the PTSD from them, is.
You realize he lied about everything right? Stop believing the media and Hollywood! They lied and you ate it ate up. We wonder how we got to where we are at in the world. It's gullibility that's why.
Bravery doesn’t even describe why this man is retelling this life and death story. Glad to see him tell it otherwise we will never hear about the guys that didn’t make it
It's just crazy to hear all the things that don't make the news or the book signings or any of the media bullshit. Marcus is telling it how it is (or so we're willing to believe; I fucking believe it) and in such great detail.
@@abraham4039 His account of the actions for that day have fallen completely apart. When he was rescued, he was found with 11 FULL magazines of ammunition. Insinuating that he didn't fire a single shot. Moreover, the Afghan who helped get him rescued has been snubbed by not only Lutrell but the US Government altogether. His account of the rescue is in direct conflict with Lutrell's story. While on the press tour for the movie he was instructed to simply agree with what was portrayed in the film. Even after he was cited saying none of that ever happened.
As a veteran, it is difficult to watch him tell his story and to see all of his pain attempting to resurface while he actively suppresses it in order to get through the telling of his story. I get emotional just watching him talk about it. Keep telling your story brother, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself. Much respect.
I'm also a veteran, and watching him try to tell the stories or explain what happened reminds me of the way I feel. You would think after so many years that it would be easy to tell a story, but it's not. We block it out of our memory 99% of the time, and then when we try to talk about it we start having flashbacks, and get drawn in and our mind starts racing, and it's like you're trying to piece together what actually happened. I don't have this problem with non-combat memories.
Amen brother. It's very relatable how he tells it. I stutter and skip all over the place when I try to my wife anything about it, and I feel like I can't find the proper words to convey what happened. I start talking and everything changes direction and gets screwed up. I wish I was better, and I could help her understand.
I had bad luck to grow up in war zone ( Croatia war for independence from Yugoslavia 90-00) so it was normal for me playing with bombs,guns ,etc...after I server in CROATIA army I go to 5y in FFL ( 2 hot missions ,1y in Africa,6m in afgan) after i couldn't live normal life all the bad things I saw (death of lot of my family m&f all ages) I couldn't live normal life I try to forgot that mess but deep down I always feel the pain & emptiness .... 8n my 💖 I could forgive..maybe but never forget.... 1m after FFL I sing up for one 🇺🇲 company Acedemi (now) as PMC in Afghanistan, Iraq ,antipirat, Ukraine, Syria, S.America etc I work side by side with ex 🇺🇲 soldier's and believe me your power isn't in air support, hardware but you got few generations of battle harden soldier's who are I bare naked go into hell for their country ....so USA CITIZENS love your military &vets even if you are a pacifist they deserve it like any solder who fights Vs bad men or cause ...

It’s worth knowing that Mohammad Gulab, the man who saved Marcus, managed to escape the Taliban and is living somewhere free from the Taliban’s grasp. That man put his entire family in danger for helping a foreigner, much respect to him
He lives in Texas with his 12 children. He's a great dude.
@@echoromeo384 damn 12 children.... That's a rarity nowadays
Aren’t they pashto or something
I do not have military experience, but having a degree in theology leads me to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and and the story of Lot and his family. Many are confused as to why Lot would offer his daughters to the evil crowd? And he also offered sleeping quarters for the Angels.( he probably was not aware they were Angels at the time?) Anyway, my point of the story is, that this is part of the laws of hospitality in the Middle East that go back 3,500 years or more. Those laws of hospitality stayed in Middle East culture even before the founding of the Muslim religion. Even then, this Afghan villager put his life and his family's life on the line for this American who is a complete stranger! I am so happy the USA granted him Asylum status and I hope he's living happily in the USA even though it must be a very strange experience for him? He is certainly a man of character. I would be honored to meet him one day.

Marcus was about to cry talking about this. He had to break that sadness quick. His toughness is second to none. So proud of you, brother!
did you ever listen to the nine-one-one call when he came back he's been out for a while and somebody drove by and they killed his dog. And he was chasing them through the counties.and the 911 operator was like okay could you back off you guys know they killed my dog. It was like John wick before John wick

What I know that surrounds this operation, I can tell u that u know nothing besides what u think u know from reading something that someone wrote that wasn’t there 🤷🏻♂️ we call people like you sheepy sheep 😁
Oohrah
as a veteran myself, i can see the damage in this mans soul, but i also see the strength. true patriot..
Gosh, I was just thinking that. He is so damaged. 🥺
All I can think when I see his eyes is how she’ll shocked this poor guy is.
This guy left his friends to die and ran
@Alex Dane The villager guy who found him said he had all full magazines in his plate carrier and I’ve also seen the Taliban’s footage of the ambush. As blurry as it is, it’s clear enough to be able to tell that Hollywood greatly exaggerated the number of Taliban combatants. Throughout the firefight you can hear the other 3 seals screaming for his help as he was their combat medic, but he had already ran for the hills. Now I’m not necessarily blaming him for doing the smart thing and wanting to avoid his certain death, but he was not a regular joe like me he was a SEAL. The movie portrays his actions as a heroic last stand, fighting and tumbling down a mountain against hundreds of Taliban until the last man, which was not the case. He ran, the real American heroes died on that mountain.
I can also see some confusion, as if he gets lost in his story at some points. It doesn't just flow out and sometimes he seems pretty vague in his answers.
Heres a short story to testify to Marcus' character. Last year in May my hometown was ravaged by a tornado that killed people and destroyed hundreds of homes. I own a landscaping company so I have quite a few chain saws and helpers I can call on and help. I was up on a roof clearing east Texas pine trees off of peoples houses when three guys showed up to volunteer work. One of the guys was naturally leading the other two and when they climbed up on the roof, Marcus (I had no idea who he was) climbed up to where I was and ASKED ME, what can we do to help boss? He worked on that roof with me for nearly 5 hours in the Texas heat and then continued to help out all around the neighborhood for the following week. I would have never known who he was until someone in the town recognized him a few days later and posted on fb about it. He never name dropped, no catchy T-shirts, or anything like that. He was truly just heartbroken to see the devastation my town had gone through and came to help. This man has broken his body for our country so I know he was hurting on that roof with me but I would have never known.
Texans stick together 💪🏽
If only he would have helped his friends as much.

A giant among men.
I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus a few months ago. He came into my work. Him and his family & friends were vacationing at the resort I managed at. I was just chatting with his friend about how it was my last day at work because I was leaving to go into the service. He needed some help carrying drinks back from the bar, and I had volunteered to help. I had no clue what was about to happen. His friend said, “ I have someone you need to meet.” I told him okay and followed him over to where they were sitting. Marcus introduced himself and shook my hand. I was speechless. I felt so minuscule and almost embarrassed. I was just some girl who was working at the hotel, and just starting my journey into medicine with the military. This man is an absolute legend. Why is he talking to me? Marcus immediately started asking me questions. Where are you from? What are you trying to do? What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? He was on vacation and he made me feel like I mattered enough to stand in front of him. What an absolute HUMBLE human being. I wasn’t trying to take up his time, but he wanted to know more. He really seemed to care. At the end of the conversation he shook my hand again and said, “welcome to the family (military fam), and goodluck with your adventure.” I will forever remember that interaction. What a genuinely great guy ❤ You can’t fake that kind of sincerity.
Good luck and stay safe.

@@Irv123 literally read that in Howard's voice. lmao
He can put a smile on his face, but his eyes dont lie. He's broken, and the amount of survivors guilt he has to endure. I can see it all in his eyes.
Part of that is because things probably didn't go down the way the book and movie said it did. By his account there were "hundreds" of insurgents, but in reality it was probably between 8-15. Still out numbered, but 4 seals with the most advanced weapons should be able to put up enough of a fight to at least stalemate them. His magazines were also almost completely full when he was rescued, that was verified by the Afghan local that saved him as well as the Berets that came to collect him. Saddest of all, he told everyone that his 3 teammates were dead, so the guys took their time searching for the bodies, but Axelson was very likely alive for days still, and may have survived if the rescue teams didn't think he was already dead. Much of the official story got changed from what actually happened so that the Navy could use this as a recruitment tool.
You can literally see the ptsd in action when he speaks. It's actually very sad.
I was thinking the same thing. That thousand yard stare is very real with him. Can tell some very traumatic happened to him. Don’t even have to know who he is

He's talking like his dead brothers are making sure he doesn't leave his rifle behind from the afterlife. There were so many occasions where he is falling down a mountain, rifle out of his hands and somehow when he lands the rifle ends up right by him.

Couldn't watch without tearing up.....God bless him!
Marcus had 11 wounds that were through and through. He suffered a broken pelvis and a broken back. He bit his tongue in half. He had countless other lacerations and injuries. That is verifiable. To live through that alone gets all my respect.
Yeah but what about the contradicting claims from the team the rescued him.
@@PlastiForge I'm sure his experience, while having 22 bullets and shrapnel wounds, a broken back and pelvis, half a tongue and numerous lacerations, was probably different than that of the guys that rescued him. After 19 other soldiers were killed and he had crawled 7 miles with that broken back, pelvis, 22 wounds, half of a tongue and other lacerations I am sure his point of view was different.
@@tuckthefide74 go to Google and type in “marcus luttrell reddit” there’s a post titled
“daily reminder that lone survivor marcus luttrell is a liar and an enormous sack of shit”
And then read some of that. There is even conflicting reports with video and photo of Marcus at the time of capture where he is fully clothed and all his mag pouches are completely full. Reports of very little spent brass casings too.
They were wiped out by 10 untrained fighters. I can link the video if you’d like. But first read that Reddit post.
When he stops for a moment and blank stares...that's what PTSD looks like.
ruclips.net/video/mFQTmiioYnQ/видео.html :)
It’s both scary and sad at the same time, the moment he remembered the thirst and paused that was crazy.
He's handling it good, He's a strong mofo, I don't even talk about a couple car wrecks I've been involved in because I get wigged out. I can look up to this mans strength.
That’s what I thought too. It seemed like he was back in Afghanistan for a second and not here.
He has PTSD but him stopping is not because of it. When he stops he is recalling what happened and finding the words to describe how he was feeling and thinking while telling his story. I've watched people behave the same way when telling a story about something good that happened to them and they stop, think and find the words to describe what they were feeling while telling their story.
The way he says "you know the way you can smell death when it's there?" As though it's something everyone can relate to chills my bones. This man has seen and done things your average man has nightmares about.
When it’s been there long enough, it smells sweet with a touch of cinnamon or clove. . . The more you know!
I don’t think we have the frame reference necessary to have those kinds of nightmares man!
Its not the smell of the air as much as like, the stench if your own panic… if you’ve ever been fearful for your life, or trying to kill someone.. you can almost smell the animal coming out of you.
A lot of crazy shit happens during war. Some so terrifying you can't explain it with words.
You can tell war fuck him all up just by looking at him talk.
Marcus is a man of TRUE TEXAS GRIT. I’m thankful that we have these brave men who ask for so little but give/gave so much. 🙏🙏
Luttrell is the definition of a coward, he then turned his back on Gulab, the man who risked his own life to save him, this shows how little Luttrell cares for those around him.
@@SwissMarksman Yeah with a name like norwegian gangster do you really think anyone gives a fuck what you think, furthemore you're calling him a coward in the comments section on youtube where you're probably going feel validated by random people. Its sad, please stop

@@SwissMarksman “true texas grit” “coward”, what’s the difference?
Marcus looks healthy & looks like mentally hes more at peace. Good to see that. Thank you for your service brother
If he is anything like the rest of us, it comes and goes. The more we distract ourselves by staying busy, the less it bothers us. Man, what he went through, dude must be going 10,000mph with his hair on fire every day.
He looks like a recovery, Just my opinion and not factual, but he went through hell and looks and acts like he struggled when he got back. Which should be so understandable. I hope he's doing well now
True American hero🇺🇲🗽
how does he look healthy?
@@SweatyFatGuy we all don't heal the same way or the at the same speed.. it's like getting beyond addiction, you find your path to your own recovery.
Thanks a lot for this episode. If you guys loved it too, I would recommend everybody to check what hell Mohammad Gulab had to go through after saving Luttrell. He and his family got attacked several times. To my actual knowledge he got shot at least 2 times in 10 years. One time he and his wife had to fight off taliban forces with assault rifles in front of their house. One of his nephews got shot in the head. He lost family members, his company in Afghanistan (destroyed by taliban), his land and his home land. And even to the end he defended his actions. Folks please check his side of the story too, especially the part how he got to america and the difficulties, for me personally beyond imagination. Luttrett talked about a rough week (which must have been death for most of us), but for Gulab and his family the hell continued for at least a decade or so. For me it was heart breaking to read. This Family is special. Really special.
I would love to see a movie at least as good as Lone Survivor, but showing everything throughout Gulab's perspective. We never get to know what it's like for these mountain men
@Achraf h it was a little bit more complicated than that. If I got it correctly there were also misunderstandings due to language barrier and maybe wrong translations. In the end it became a burocratic nightmare. If you like to dig deeper I would recommend you to check the perspective of Wilder, his attorney, who fighted for Gulab without payment.
Crazy how the USA couldn’t compensate for their bravery.... insane
Thank you , I always wondered how that would have ended for that mans family,etc. I will take your advice. He really was a Godsend.
@@bromidrosis3238 Crazy to me that anyone supports the US during our occupations in the Middle East to the point of getting their family members killed, we don't even treat our own soldiers right let alone the people fighting for us
Hey Marcus thank you for your service and sacrifice, my husband was one of the Green Beret that rescued you, he wants you to know you are his hero.
And your husband is my hero. From an ex felon. People like your husband made me want to be a better man.
My father is a veteran he did 19 years in the Navy and he's trying to get ahold of a 91 Sportster motorcycle to make into a Memorial bike. He watched 195 Marines get blown to Hell and Back Again over in Beirut Lebanon. The only reason why I'm even commenting this is because I saw the Harley-Davidson tagging your name. Maybe you can point me in the right direction

You are all witnessing PTSD in real-time. An incredibly powerful moment that no movie could ever reproduce. Thank you Mr. Luttrell for sharing this story, how you can relive this horrible event, stay composed, and tell the world on a podcast is beyond my comprehension.

@Victor Palacios That is my point...
@Victor Palacios understating can be powerful. For me the comparison to a memory about a birthday party helped clarify the vast chasm that separates many people's common reality with Marcus's.
@@charliegraham8000 well said
@@charliegraham8000 or when he says, "that was a rough week". Like a rough week for me is I had to do a bunch of bullshit at work or something lol
I don't think this man is who you think he is. There's evidence that he was found with 11 mags still on his kit when he was found and video evidence of his teammates yelling for him to help. The video also only shows around 7 or 8 enemy combatants. Also the Afghan guy who saved him, Gulab, was quoted as saying the real story is nothing like what they portrayed in the movie.
You guys know this guy left his buddies to die right?
He still had full mags, while everyone else on his team had no more mags and were still up on the mountain fighting gor their lives till their last rounds.
This guy has serious PTSD and i'm not surprised. Looks like he has it well controlled though, absolute hero
You could seriously see it when he went back to thinking how God damn thirsty he was, just zoned out for a second and went straight back, so heart-wrenching to see.
@@HitzThaDon The podcast was cut short too. He went for a piss and it was the usual part where Joe was like "Go pee I'll talk to Jamie" and it ended.
I assumed he might have had enough of remembering it all in extreme detail and just decided to end it there.
joe gotta fix the ending of this podcast; Left on a cliffhanger?
yep, I could see myself in him as he would cut in and out of the story, getting lost in details, etc. It's a frightening sensation. Too much for me to listen to the whole episode. God bless everyone who's suffering from it.
I mean... he’s literally been convicted as a liar..
Marcus Luttrell is a good man. You can still tell how much this event fucked his head up. Its still extremely real for him when he has to recollect it. Nothing but prayers for him, his family, and the families of all the fallen heroes of that operation.
Operation Red Wings
You think about it every second...you can’t shut it off you have to figure out how to make it a conducive part of your life
As a survivor of trauma of the very worst kind, I was right there in his skin with him when he was talking. PTSD is so lied about these days the ones that really have it can see it instantly.
“If I’d known that Marcus was such a dishonorable person,” he says, “I would not have come to America.”
@Eduardo Babyhands dude he was found as a prisoner. He wouldn't have had his gun or his ammunition as a prisoner.
Damn when he started talking to joe like joe was the rangers who came to save him...”when y’all came I couldn’t believe it” I had frickin goosebumps...
And then he changes to something funny, it’s still hurts to think or talk about it.
Never ending respect for Mr Luttrell.
That really stuck with me. The way I took it was that he was referring to “ya’ll” as the country/people of America, and Joe being in front of him as a representative of us, i.e. Americans/America.
Reliving the story as he tells it
@@literallyshaking8019 Bingo, and he always tells it like that too. When he told the story in front of a congregation shortly after he was home it was pretty powerful. It’s on RUclips.

God Bless this man. I know he has been through much, but he had me laughing when he said he never knew what to do. All that training and he never knew what to do. We all are simply human. But he did know what to do because he made it home alive. God Bless him.
His emotions on certain events you can just feel his pain. His ptsd must be terrible. I’m a combat veteran but these type of men are a different breed. Nothing but respect.
Thank you for your service sir. Semper fi
He lied about his encounter, they didn't kill any people. They were successfully ambushed and he hid. He didn't even fire a single shot. This is corroborated by the marines who rescued him and the man who rescued him
Yeah this don’t seem authentic and genuine seems like a sociopath fabricating and exaggerating things.
@@firstnamelastname8790 hmm never heard this claim. Definitely will check it out.
I’m a disabled combat vet too with some pretty rough PTSD but this man is legend. A fucking hero. A man I’d walk into hell with and carry a smile with me as well doing so knowing I’m gonna be okay with him by my side
When Marcus is talking about how thirsty he was while crawling along the ridgeline, he pauses. You can tell he went right back to that moment as if it happened yesterday. Damn
I noticed it too
He was totally reliving it
this dude is tougher than 99.9% of human beings
this dude is tougher than 99.9% of human beings
Listening and watching him tell the story is better than the movie for me. That shit is real.
Just imagine the shit he’s reliving in his mind in those moments where he pauses and looks off into space
It’s almost like he’s speaking a foreign language or something. In which you’re relatively familiar with and identify with. Yet, still highly ignorant of and in the dark about.
Yes dude. Like the ammount of anxiety that rushes through him would be insane.
He’s trying to recall the lies that have been spun. He’s a hero from other missions I’m sure but this total fuck up of a mission he cowardly left his friends to die and it was covered up
@@yewchoob6575 and you know this because you were there?
@@ratty2012 No, this is the most likely truth based on hours cross referencing all available information from credible witnesses in the public sphere. Military professionals who visited the site made many of these points but were silenced, also accounts from the villager who saved him. Accounts from all the villagers who heard the drop also. Finally, actually watching the unedited footage the Taliban filmed while killing the team. If you want specific example of something ask me. The only point which is debatable is the 11 magazines, maybe he had less and the villagers exaggerated but he certainly had many many clips left. Also, this is taken from the only consistent points in Marcus story that haven’t changed over times. There’s so much more I haven’t even included, I hoped it would be just enough to make people bother to look into it themselves. But no, cos ‘Fuck yee America is the best’ attitude and the media spoonfeeding makes people gullible and stupid
He left Murphy to die slowly from the elements, Murphy shouted for him to go back for him in the audio recording but he just continued to "roll" away, only to be rescued and found with several unused mags. God, this guy is such a freak, even observing how he performs this little story makes it so apparent that it's a lie.
Where can I hear this audio recording
"No soldier ever really survives a war." - Audie Murphy
@Hai Boai no
Did you just give yourself goosebumps?
He said at one point “we all died”. Was hoping Joe would have asked if he felt a piece of him died with them. Everyone knows the answer but to hear him speak it would be legendary.
God gave me these four steps via divine revelation. He said anyone who does all four are guaranteed a divine revelation of their own. They are the mustard seed of Faith, the bare minimum amount of effort he's willing to accept before he reveals himself to you personally. Believe or not, do for yourself and see. Forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. There's deep spiritual significance in these steps. Every one is important, and it's the least God accepts. Three books of the bible will be enough for the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. I'm not talking about signs, feelings, etc, but am honest to goodness one on one conversation with God. An actual meeting. Unmistakable, and unable to be misinterpretaed. He told me that he's guaranteed the steps to work 100%. You just need to do them guininly. It's not hard. Do those steps in that order please. It's all True. I promise.
He sure as fuck did and he'll tell you himself. The lucky one, the unlucky one. He sure as hell did. Fuck though, "one hell of a week" for a man who trained in hell for most, and regularly survived in hell for all (hot sand, hot sky), too say one hell of a week... to say that was hell. I'm a doubter. I don't doubt that.
I don’t know how this man sleeps at night , he deserves nothing but respect , he’s a special human to go through what he did .

When he paused I teared up. That shits sad. You can see his PTSD. My uncle served like 28 years and did three tours with the army and when he does the stare and pause you know he’s back there... he almost died twice and lost so many friends, you just don’t say anything and just let them do it. I guess it’s what they call the thousand yard stare. Had him over for a cookout one summer and he was telling me stories while we sat alone outside in my front yard and he just paused and stared off for 10 seconds.
I've lived with PTSD most of my life, had it before I enlisted because of a really shitty home life on a farm in BFE. I got beaten a lot, not the point of this though, going to war in 1990 and again in 2004 felt like going home. Its not always that we are back there when we trail off or just stare at something, we can be reliving any time in our lives, good, bad, completely random and routine, or horrific, you never know what will pop up or why. It helps to talk about the stories, to pass it along. Somehow it removes the emotional power it has over us to talk to random people about it, as long as they actually give a damn. There are things we won't talk about, things we only talk about with other veterans, and then the stuff we will talk about with anyone.
One interesting thing is anniversary dates. I usually have no idea what day it is unless I have an appointment or something. Haven't worked a normal job in 16 years so they kinda blend together. Occasionally I will have a shitty day, wake up a wreck, irritable, hateful, hyper vigilance going haywire, anxiety off the charts our around the edges of the solar system, and I have no idea why. Its a day from my past that something happened, an anniversary. Somehow my mind knows even when I have no idea what day it is.
Once you get to be ok with it, rewire your mind so you can detach the emotions from the memories (not easy to do: a massive understatement) then learn to utilize things like the hyper vigilance/scanning to your advantage, like not getting speeding tickets or in accidents, life gets more bearable and figuring out all these things you do automatically becomes very interesting. Like walking into a Taco Bell making a quick scan, then knowing how many people are in the place, what they are wearing, how much of a threat they are, where the exits are, and where to stand or sit so nobody gets behind you, all in a quick glance. Its completely subconscious.
Makes you feel super human, until you get worn down from watching too many people and you start to get irrationally pissed off. I don't go anywhere on Black Friday or other holidays like that. Hell while writing this I lost my train of thought and relived some time way back for a while.
I find it helps to write about things, because the typing takes enough brain power to let me talk about it without thinking about it. How to write it becomes more pressing than what I am writing about. Something I just noticed. My posts tend to be rather long, probably due to part of that.
@@SweatyFatGuy what you said is 100% true. My brother was the last soldier killed in Iraq in 2008, and although I never served, I have PTSD from childhood traumas/street life. I find myself doing the same scanning thing and tactical awareness assessments. I was a military brat, and ate sleept and breathed PT as a youth, reading every nonfiction a soldier wrote I could get my hands on.
This guy should write a book about his story in more detail. because as you said it does remove the power that trauma's hold over us to talk about them to people that care. That's something I learned through the Holy Spirit and biblical principles, if we confess our sins to each other his faithful and just to forgive us. But not just sin, traumas and everything else seems to be at ease when we talk about it.
I felt this mans pain when he'd go through memory lane. and you can tell it's things he literally has not thought of since they happened; so I think him writing a book could be a good way to bring some emotional healing to him.
Marcus visibly fights the PTSD back as fast as it creeps up.
Yeeeah man, I got PTSD too after the war. I fought the war on drugs and I lost 😂😂😂
You know whats SAD? The PTSD the U.S army caused all the children in the middle east. All the children you killed in the middle east.

Watching and listening to this American HERO in his own words, what happened to him, is HEART WRENCHING. Marcus Luttrell, you are beyond brave. GOD BLESS you.
Please look further into this incident and don’t take what people say at face value. Luttrell is a liar and his actions might’ve gotten his team-member Axelson killed. Members of the SOF community have talked about there even being drone footage of Luttrell running away from the firefight (it was his first firefight iirc) and members of his team asking for him to help on the radio, but he ran away.
When the Green Berets and Rangers that came to help them out found Marcus, he wasn’t very helpful relaying information back to them to help recover the bodies. He told them they were all dead, but he had no idea if they actually were. From there, the Rangers and Green Berets went on a more slow, methodical approach to the hill instead of rushing up there to potentially save someone who may have actually been alive for days in the woods and wasn’t rescued because his teammate ran away and said he was dead.
The Navy took a horrible operation that changed it into a PR stunt to make Luttrell to be the hero. They basically gave him an ultimatum, tell the truth and be exposed for being a coward or lie about what happened and become a millionaire. Now, we know the path he took.

It’s crazy when he looks at Rogan and say “it’s crazy how you guys got me, I can’t believe you got me” it’s like he talking to the rangers who saved him instead of Rogan while looking at Rogan. He relives it in vivid detail when talking about it.
This is why veterans who actually see combat don’t discuss it much. My grandpa did some awful things in WWII, getting him to discuss it was nearly impossible.
Pl lpp
Corrrct. I bet Rogan is like, “is anyone here other than us?!”
I think you guys are the US as a whole. How is one of those guys. He describes the asserts used. It’s possible his patriotic mindset would consider that the whole fuxking United States came to rescue him. It sounds like we put a lot of assets into position and succeeded.
As a fellow vet, I salute him and his boys.
I got choked up listening to him...especially when he said about being thirsty and how he hadn't thought about this for a while... SHEESH!!
MUCH RESPECT BRO, from one service member to another. Nothing but respect
Don’t he didn’t fire any ammo and left his buddies to die
I have so much respect for Marcus. He is without a doubt the symbol of a true American.

Bullshit. T. Mojito is 100% THE symbol of a true American.
“I bit my tongue in half.... crazy story”
understatement of the century
🤣🤣
...one of them. He had WAY too many.😞
I believe his story is crazy but I believe he’s lying about some of this. Idk why people do that. They take a crazy story and feel the need to make it crazier.
@@BrokenAbyss is there any evidence to back up your skepticism, or are you just saying that because of some “gut feeling”
@@bronmill33 I mean no disrespect by this but many people do the same thing. Can you even put a pin back into a grenade? I’m asking. I thought they go boom when you pull the pin.
“That was a rough week “ now I feel like a punk when I bitch about a bad week I had
Myself brother, myself!
We all do
lmao yes, so rough of a week for him after he abandoned his friends to die. he didn't even shoot his rifle LMAO
@@Sneedmeister awkward when no one rises to you trolling
@@benr970 lol I was thinking the same thing. Sad.
7:24 is a slip up. “and then the Taliban came in and snatched me up”
then watch that snap reaction when he hears Joe speak next. The realization and worry.
There’s so much more to this story.
You can tell he'll never be the same again. He went through one of the most insane experiences a human could ever go through and survived. Fuckin warrior.
yeah, but the movie is horse shit..
@@rockade2408 it’s Hollywood, get over it
Read his book. It’s so crazy. There’s no wonder he’ll never be the same.
@@rockade2408
His story has a lot of holes in it. I know I know a Seal telling load of bull crap is just totally unheard of.
@@axt2 What do you mean a lot of holes in it?
Seeing this makes me so sad for vets with PTSD. You can clearly see and hear his PTSD with everything he says. It’s heartbreaking.
Why did he go into another man`s land?
@@uvwxyzero so you could type your comment.
@@uvwxyzero so you can ask stupid questions!
@@uvwxyzero Why did some from their land go into ours?
@@uvwxyzero to save people, idiot
Ohh, as a vet, that was hard to watch, we repress those memories, but when they come out like that... He handled. Kudos to Joe for just letting him speak his truth, thats healing and that is whats great about Joes Podcast. Love it.
You’re all heroes. Thank you.
Watch 9:48 the bottle moves by itself!!
Man. You ain’t lying. I’ve never served in uniform, but have been a first responder for 10 years. When those memories come back, you just seem like lose 5-15 minutes from thinking about between 5-15 seconds of events. That’s how harrowing those events, and the PTSD from them, is.
This man and his courage and story is the most amazingly humble but fierce man I’ve ever seen and heard speak. Mad respect. I love this guy
You realize he lied about everything right? Stop believing the media and Hollywood! They lied and you ate it ate up. We wonder how we got to where we are at in the world. It's gullibility that's why.
Bravery doesn’t even describe why this man is retelling this life and death story. Glad to see him tell it otherwise we will never hear about the guys that didn’t make it
It's just crazy to hear all the things that don't make the news or the book signings or any of the media bullshit. Marcus is telling it how it is (or so we're willing to believe; I fucking believe it) and in such great detail.
What Michael Murphy did to save his life, so he could tell this story, is amazing!
@Adam Lewis you must've been one of the taliban's
Pretty sure it came out that he lied about all of it
@@abraham4039 His account of the actions for that day have fallen completely apart. When he was rescued, he was found with 11 FULL magazines of ammunition. Insinuating that he didn't fire a single shot. Moreover, the Afghan who helped get him rescued has been snubbed by not only Lutrell but the US Government altogether. His account of the rescue is in direct conflict with Lutrell's story. While on the press tour for the movie he was instructed to simply agree with what was portrayed in the film. Even after he was cited saying none of that ever happened.
As a veteran, it is difficult to watch him tell his story and to see all of his pain attempting to resurface while he actively suppresses it in order to get through the telling of his story. I get emotional just watching him talk about it. Keep telling your story brother, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself. Much respect.
Same here
Same here.
He’s a fraud
@@maxamillion5175 why?
@@NaSeNS 11 full mags. Minor injuries. Screwed over the man who saved his cowardly ass. He’s no hero.
The sincerity in this mans voice when he tells his story and almost in tears is POWERFUL
The things Mark and men like him have done and continue to do for us is nothing short of astounding and the dictionary definition of awesome
I'm also a veteran, and watching him try to tell the stories or explain what happened reminds me of the way I feel. You would think after so many years that it would be easy to tell a story, but it's not. We block it out of our memory 99% of the time, and then when we try to talk about it we start having flashbacks, and get drawn in and our mind starts racing, and it's like you're trying to piece together what actually happened. I don't have this problem with non-combat memories.
Yea you could tell the little details just kept coming to him that he hadn't thought of for years
@Tom Henesey My old man is the exact same way.
Amen brother. It's very relatable how he tells it. I stutter and skip all over the place when I try to my wife anything about it, and I feel like I can't find the proper words to convey what happened. I start talking and everything changes direction and gets screwed up. I wish I was better, and I could help her understand.
Thank you for your service!!
I had bad luck to grow up in war zone ( Croatia war for independence from Yugoslavia 90-00) so it was normal for me playing with bombs,guns ,etc...after I server in CROATIA army I go to 5y in FFL ( 2 hot missions ,1y in Africa,6m in afgan) after i couldn't live normal life all the bad things I saw (death of lot of my family m&f all ages) I couldn't live normal life I try to forgot that mess but deep down I always feel the pain & emptiness .... 8n my 💖 I could forgive..maybe but never forget....
1m after FFL I sing up for one 🇺🇲 company Acedemi (now) as PMC in Afghanistan, Iraq ,antipirat, Ukraine, Syria, S.America etc
I work side by side with ex 🇺🇲 soldier's and believe me your power isn't in air support, hardware but you got few generations of battle harden soldier's who are I bare naked go into hell for their country ....so USA CITIZENS love your military &vets even if you are a pacifist they deserve it like any solder who fights Vs bad men or cause ...
