Hey guys. I am the director of THE OUTPOST and was very moved by how you reacted to our movie. It really meant so much to all of us who made it. I only wish that you had gone a little further in the film until you got to the memorial for the real men who died in the battle. Obviously, there are many spoilers in your presentation, but the way that you guys took to the film is the very reason we made it.
That’s awesome! I’m the one who sent it to you on twitter!
Rod Lurie, if it is indeed you, thank you for making this movie. You captured the Army in an authentic way I've never felt from any other film (to include Blackhawk Down), along with Afghanistan, and it brought me back. It isn't easy viewing, but it should be necessary viewing. Even now, as I sit comfortably at home, I think of the men and women who are currently out there, conducting missions, and how many people here don't give it a thought or know what happens over there at almost a daily basis; how the heights and depths of humanity are witnessed by these men and women. I agree, I wish they went further and showed the men who gave their all.
There is no way you are her and you have two subscribers and no vids
@@etseng1234 facts. even down to how much we swear. loved the movie. OIF 6 and 7 veteran here. all the way airborne
This movie was great, I had to pause because I couldn’t take it all in.
As a former U.S. Army soldier, this was one of the most authentic depictions of the Army I've seen on screen other than documentaries. Obviously, some things were embellished and some corners were cut to depict some things for entertainment value, but the comradery, depiction of rank structure and how good/bad leadership has lasting effects, and language were spot on.
To clarify the situation per your request at the end: their higher unit's primary mission (if I remember correctly) was to support the construction of a major road in the region which would connect Nuristan to the rest of the economy. The idea was that the more connected the region was to the rest of Afghanistan's central government (Kabul), the easier it would be to provide security and take away Taliban / Al Qaeda's influence on the region. As you saw in the movie, the dirt roads were nearly impossible and dangerous to use. This meant they needed outposts to help establish patrols / "key leader engagements" with villages to secure areas / get the local population to buy into the idea of building this road. At the same time, they were supposed to enforce laws that prevented smuggling of illegal/controlled goods (lumber, drugs, explosive materials such as fertilizer, and weapons which typically helps fund/support the Taliban and Al Qaeda). Of course this broad mission set proved impossible for Infantrymen and Scouts who have been trained to mainly close in and destroy the enemy instead of being a police force or to serve as civil affairs and conduct nation building.
very late but thank you for your service
Former Army Infantryman myself, Iraq vet. I agree.
I know you in the Army but u should really try Generation Kill. Most accurate depiction of military/marines in my opinion
This is a true story, several of the soldiers who were actually there were involved in the film, including Medal of Honor recipient Ty Carter, who was a technical advisor, and Daniel Rodriguez, who actually portrays himself in the film.
I sent the maker of this film Rod Lurie, the link to this reaction and he said he loved it, it’s on his Twitter
Ammo has to be stored in hardened areas. They should have been better at resupply, but they can’t keep all of it at the guns.
Also easier to inventory so they aren't sold to locals.
I was at Keating, the ASP was somewhat in the center of the outpost, it was surrounded by layer after layer of sandbags. We still had to run across open ground to supply gunners.
14:18
The guy trying to drag Thompsons body to safety is the real Rodriguez. I can't even imagine how hard it mustve been to reenact the moment of your buddy's death and your attempts at trying to save him.
The mission changed from hunting terrorists to peacekeeping/nation building. Those kind of things don't exactly have a good history of success.
In Afghanistan, they did put out a lot of remote outposts. Problem was they might have a platoon trying to secure a very large area, one that would probably take a battalion or more. Attacks would happen even against a larger force but those smaller units made such attacks a bit safer for the enemy. Not only hitting the outposts but also resupply units, medivacs, etc.
Meanwhile the rules of engagement were written by politicians and generals with ambitions who were far away from the fighting. It would really stink being a soldier in the last 15 years with enemies in the front and the rear.
The most realistic Afghanistan war movie to date. Did a tour in 11-12, and was stunned how well this was done
Leavenworth is a Military Prison in America. Loved this movie and you Reaction guys xxx...
After reading the book ‘Red Platoon’ I was eagerly waiting for this movie to come out and I was not disappointed. Unfortunately though due to COVID the movies original release date got cancelled and they eventually had to settle for a less eventful release and I don’t think the movie got the publicity it deserves
The reason the ammo is in a separate place is to keep it protected from the obvious targets. Store it in a hardened protected bunker also so that it it doesn't get destroyed or result in a big explosion.
Civilians will never understand.
The amount of bureaucracy in an active warzone is a lot more than you'd expect.
Marine vet here, Afghanistan sucks. Theres a rivalry between Marines and Army but these guys were amazing. All heroes
Good thing you typed this. Would’ve sucked trying to listen to you muffling these words through a mouthful of crayons.
@@ManofWar2022 yeah all us Marines really look up to you Army folk. Especially those magnificent "soldiers" like Chelsea Manning and who can forget?! Bo Bergdahl. I'll enjoy my crayons, I like the blue ones, but I'm sure your girlfriend already knows that 😉
Sheesh, so sensitive. Must be a POG. And I don’t speak for the whole Army but my personal experience, the Marines that worked with my unit really did look up to us. Granted, maybe because they’ve never seen such high tech tactical gears(washable crayola markers). For those two heroes you mentioned, doesn’t really bother me. I mean it sucks that we had to lose people looking for Bowe but hey, what are you gonna do. Lastly, of course my girlfriend would know your favorite color, she cooks your meals every day. She’s your wife you silly goose.
@Kusie Marines look up to the Army?! Lmaoo. You have it backwards. Brother we have your wives begging. Your insecurity complex is astounding......
@@madbananaclips7537 I love the Marines and the Army. Both are solid warriors. But make no mistake, when the sh*t hits the fan. Everyone calls the Rangers.

Nephew of the real Ty Carter here. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the movie!
Cool. How’s he doing?
The guy who’s pulling thomsons body on 14:25 was actually in the shooting back then and he acted as himself!
God. How did he not have PTSD on set?
The reason air support was stalled during the Battle of Kamdesh was probably weather. I've seen that happen during my time in Iraq in multiple occasions
The youtuber "The Cynical Historian" did a good job analyzing this movie if you wanna know more. I think he was even deployed in afghanistan at the same time.
It's always thrilling watching you react to war movies! I suggest "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Battle for Sevastopol". 👍
holy heck guys i am proud your reacted to this it took me 10 years to get over a % of what carter had to deal with
I love it how Ellie really feels the films to the point of tears. Defo got a crush on her.
I don't know about the dog part, I highly doubt most units would be so cavalier about executing a member of their team like that. I don't know the real story so maybe it happened, but that just flies in the face of every other canine unit and US army attitude I've heard of.
EDIT: The nice people in the comments have explained that this was not a military dog.
That wasn’t a trained canine is was just a stray dog they kept on base for morale. I agree that if it had been part of the unit they wouldn’t have been so cavalier about killing it.
If that was a military canine, A) it wouldn’t go near a person, let alone bite them, without being ordered, and B) every one of those soldiers would’ve had their weapons raised on the afghans the second there was a scream and any sign of a “scuffle” for lack of a better term between the Afghan and the dog…that dog had no vest, no military insignia, not even a collar! At no point in the movie did that dog show ANY signs of being trained to any extent for ANYTHING. Instead, it clearly shows the dog being treated as a pet by some of the soldiers. The way you worded your comment makes me assume you have a decent level of common sense and probably some real basic knowledge of American military/policing, which is why I’m genuinely baffled that you would watch the movie and be under the foolish impression that the dog was anything but a stray dog that the soldiers took in as a pet. I don’t mean this to be insulting. If your comment seemed like you were just one of 99% in the comments who have no idea what they are talking about, I wouldn’t bother replying.
I love this reaction, but I hope you watched the post-credits interviews!
Actually...Elli is correct through the movie for the most part.
But it is beyond stupid not to hold the high ground. Advantage with shooting angle is with Taliban. Saying is "shooting fish in a barrel" or "in the kill zone"
Honestly, who puts a military base at the BOTTOM of a hill?
The French at Dien Bien Phu, the Americans in Vietnam, & the Soviets in Afghanistan.
well .....afghanistan you dont decide where,,,,,,, you build where its possible... Restrepo outpost was on hilltop and was attacked anyway :D
Armies will try to secure the high ground but, even formidable ones don't have the soldiers and resources to do that always and as a result you have commanders who excuse that by saying for example: 'our superior firepower or technology will make up for that.' which it can under some circumstances, but not all.
battle of Kamdesh lasted for 12 hours not two hours
I like how she says gun machine instead of machine gun lol
I’m real life, the compounds charges didn’t detonate and the base had to later be destroyed via AC-130. The soldiers called it a last F-U from the COP
This movie is pretty epic. Great performances. I still like "the last full measure" a little more though personally (story-wise)
You should react to "The Mist" movie, the finale will have you in tears.
Whose the frigg'n genius that gave orders to build an outpost in a valley surrounded by mountains while understanding the strategic advantage the enemy would have... I mean really??
It's like.. you can't see this was coming??
well afghanistan you dont decide where,,,,,,, you build where its possible Restrepo outpost was on hilltop and was attacked anyway :D
Btw the reason why the Taliban soldiers didn’t shoot at the turret is because Taliban soldiers were not trained to do anything so they really suck at aiming and shooting.
What turret wasn't shot at? I was there, everything was shot up.
Black hawk down is a movie i would recomend
Is The full reaction on Patreon ???
Hopefully you guys watched all the credits
Dammit, I thought this was a sci-fi movie of the same title in 2015 I think. I think I must be in the wrong movie reaction here.
You should do hacksaw ridge
Ok so I'm guessing that guy is is the older brother who runs this thing and the 2 girls are sisters, Magy involved but I can't figure out why zero info is divulged other than than the older brother is playing coy to garner more interest
Well it is their personal life and the channels are for reactions so I don’t think they need to say anything about that, but they actually said that they are all friends and know each other for a lot of time
Hi Larry and Ellie I love you two!! Hugs 🤗
Thanks so much!
@@TheHomiesReact love the homies forever love from NZ !! 🇳🇿
@@TheHomiesReact ❤️❤️❤️
If you like war tv shows, should watch generation kill.
"THE FUCK!!!"
forgot about this...thanks
I just watched the movie its fantastic.
Фильм очень понравился, каждый раз я был в напряжении)!
Also... Hollywood for the last 30 years seems to only make negative perspective movies of our troops.
I haven’t really seen military movies. Could you give some examples of Hollywood doing this. Just curious.
BUT!!! You haven't watched Hamburger Hill or Red Dawn (1984)
Sadly there was another situation not to far from there, where the exact same thing happened :(
That was the Battle of Wanaut

Watch Restrepo film
For a change...watch Deep Purple Child in Time live 1970...epic reaction vid
Can we get this banned in afganistan? to keep the US marines and army from getting any bad ideas? and to keep the Taliban from getting any good ones
It doesn’t matter if it’s banned, you really think they aren’t going to do recon and wait it out on a base in a horrible position because they didn’t watch these movies? It’s war even if you never watched a movie in your life this type of situation can still play out
Primero buen contenido otro podrían reaccionar a hombre en llamas es una gran película por favor
