Hero. His actions are what the Medal of Honour or our Victoria Cross (UK - which my great-uncle won in WW1) are awarded for. Usually posthumous (in my great-uncle's case too) and for doing something where they were pretty much guaranteed to die but they did it anyway because by doing it there was a chance they could save some of their men or buddies' lives. Selfless heroism. That's what Lt. Murphy displayed.
As a boyscout we used to put down flags in Calverton national cemetery. I always made a point of taking a minute to pray in front of Lt. Murphy’s grave. A true hero
The most horrific part of this story to me is that in an interview, Marcus said that the movie got a part wrong and that after Michael Murphy made the call, he got pinned down and was screaming for Marcus. Marcus said that he couldn’t reach him and couldn’t stand to hear his best friend screaming for him so much and almost shut down. Thank God that we have men like this who voluntarily endure things so awful and horrible just so the rest of us don’t have to.
@@aaronpacho8069 I did read the book and thats how I remember it going down. How ever. Thats been over 10 years ago and I've read a lot of books along the way, I certainly could be remembering this part all wrong.
@@aaronpacho8069 I will admit it has been quite awhile since I read the book and I very well could be wrong about these facts. I wrote as I remember it from the book. Again. It's been over 10 years since I read it and could be completely wrong because I've read a lot of books since that time.
It’s devastating to listen to and watch Marcus in thst interview! SEALs are brain washed to not feel emotion. Pain, regret, sorrow, stuff it all down deep inside , so when you see a SOCOM Tier 2 Navy SEAL that’s done all he’s done , truly some of the very toughest , most skilled and deadly war fighters on earth , to see him break down when he says “I could stand to see him die, he was my best friend, men don’t say I love you to each other but when I see him again soon, it’s the first thing I’ll tel him.” I get so emotional hearing thst and seeing his tears well up and him choke up. Hearing him describe him screaming his name and then how he calls himself a coward for giving up at one point just killed me, when the interviewer says a coward!??? How can you possibly say that!?? And Marcus dead straight face with full conviction says what do u mean? Not grasping how the interviewer doesn’t see that at cowardice and Marcus says becasue it IS cowardice, not continuing to fight is a cowardice act! You can tell he believes that, that’s soenthing rammed into them in SEAL training. You NEVER give up no matter what. So tragic he served as a SEAL all those deployments and went though what he did and somehow sees those few moments of delay as cowardice and regrets it so deeply. He hd a broken back , fractured femur and pelvis broken arm and concave trauma to his nose, but his youngest in half and swallowed it which put him unconscious choking on it, he crawled 7 miles with those injured and all the physical mass head trauma and gun shot wounds , all to survive to fight another day and somehow he seems to focus so much on thaosenfew moments of jsut being a human and not a machine. Seeing his brother killed warrants a human moment. I’ve always wondered why they got that part so wrong , a part that’s so critical to the story. He says none of his team died alone , he was with each of them when they died , that’s tragic and honorable so for the movie to portray 2 of his team killed alone by themselves is a stupid change to the real event. Marcus only agreed to let the story be told if he was an advisor to get it right so it honors his brothers so I’m confused how he didn’t put his foot down on such an emotionally important detail. There’s a video on RUclips that was done before lone survivor and it’s the rescue helicopter , crew and pararescuemen that actually got Marcus out and into their helo and it’s UNREAL! The village was on a cliff side not a valley floor and the rescue was a night and when the helicopter began to decend there was nowhere to land and it kicked up so much dust the pilots experienced a brown out , zero visibility at night in a dust cloud and had to hover 3 feet from the rotors hitting the house , the pilot ended up being able to see ONLY a hanging potted plant in a window of the home swinging and he focused on only thst for 12 minutes holding a hover 3 feet from a building and 1,200 foot cliff below them if he hit the home. The pararescuemen jumped from the helicopter over the 1200 foot fall between the cliff and helo not being able to see the cliff , leap of faith and then breached the home where Lutrell and the father and son were and they did some extensive verification process before helping him to the still hovering helo thst was taking fire. The entire flight to thst spot was wild too, the air support had to leave early so the chinook was again on its own. It’s an AMAZING part of the story that is left out of the movie . Would have been cool to add another 15 minutes and show how the rescue actually went down and show these hero pilot and the pararescuemen thst were 100% selfless taking on the entire enemy force by themselves to get him out. The pilot crew and pararescuemen volunteered for that rescue mission knowing they wouldn’t have any air suport by the time they got there and would be outnumbered and under fire and didn’t blink about going all in. The pilot said he truly believed they were all going to die when the brown out happened, he said it’s impossible to perform a controlEd hover in a brownout not to mention on a cliff side and 3 feet from the building but said IF we didn’t try , Marcus would have been killed by the time we could remount another attempt so everyone on board agreed in the moment they had to try. If they hit the building and fell 1,200 feet to their deaths or took rounds and crashed , they did all they could to get him. Such amazing dedication, to consciously have the pilot , co pilot , engineer, gunner and 2 pararescuemen not think twice about aborting the rescue, risking ALL their lives with assured death when all the odds were against them, to jsut try to recover a single soldier! There’s nothing like that military commitment and brotherhood. Putting your fellow soldiers lives above your own always. Amazing!
@@chrisatf8973 it’s on RUclips, there’s several that are all good. The one he’s talking about I believe is an interview with a church pastor , a speaking event , another one is speaking to a high school football team where he goes into detail about his injuries which are wild! And then there’s another interview he did shortly after the movie came out with the white haired MTV interviewer that moved to 20/20 or soenthing like that. Thst ones devastating, you can see his hurt and pain and he calls himself a coward becasue he stopped fighting right after his best friend was killed. Just for a few minutes , after watching all 3 teammates killed he says he’s a coward for crumbling for those couple minutes. It’s heart breaking and I can’t understand how he can think that except that the SEAL training trains them to never ever stop fighting so he believes in those moments he failed. The interviewer is a psychologist I believe and argues with him about saying he’s a coward, he tells him he’s not a machine, he experienced massive physical and emotional trauma , watched his 3 best friends die horrible deaths and for 2 minutes his human emotions broke him from his fight trance and then marcus truly looks confused, he can’t understand how the interviewer doesn’t see it as cowardice and says , I say thst becasue it was a cowardous act, putting your rifle down in a gunfight is a cowardice act. All 3 interviews and speeches are AMAZING and five more detail , I HIGHLY recommend everyone watch them. Jsut search “Marcus Lutrell - Lone survivor interview -speach” you’ll see them in there and 4 of them are amazing and all add different things so worth seeing all 4
I was in Iraq during my first deployment when this happened. It was a damn sad day when we got word. I read the book during my third deployment. I’m not a big reader but I was absolutely hooked. I cried almost the whole book while also feeling blessed that we have real super heroes on our side that can do what those teams do. Prayers go out to the person you addressed at the beginning of this video.
Marcus actually crawled for 7 miles towards the villagers due to him being temporarily paralyzed after being separated from Axe but Hollywood didn’t wanna show that for some reason
Hollywood also didnt want to show that he had all of magazines on his vest(full) when they found him. Among other things like; they only fought something like a 12 man fireteam. Also that they for some reason sped away and landed way to close to the target, outpacing the Apaches so they had no air support. That is just some of the fuck ups on this mission.
@@LuisMartinez-pq8wd Not according to the tribesmen. The Seals try to protect their reputation you know. Just like with John Chapman "Alone at Dawn" the combat controller. They were not even going to give him the medal of honor or recognize the incident.
@breaking the 4th wall like Deborah Lee James seemed to have difficulty getting him the Medal “I believe the SEALs want to honor John Chapman,” Ms. James said. “What some don’t want is they don’t want it linked to him getting back up and fighting back on.” www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/us/politics/medal-of-honor-slabinski-trump.html
This is the first of three true story movies that Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg teamed up to do. The next two were Deepwater Horizon (about the BP oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010) and then Patriots Day (about the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing). Highly recommend both of them.
fun fact: the guy that was wearing black beanie with sunglasses is the actual Marcus Luttrell and the guy that saved him is actually living here in America now. he cant go back to his own country because of what he did. .. cannot wait till you react to american sniper and 12 strong.. but you have to react to marcus luttrell story when he was there.
@breaking the 4th wall like your full of crap, he never lived here permanently to begin with. He was coming and visiting once a year. he still stayed in his home country.
@@xvavhofo3126 he never lived here permanently, he was only coming here once a year to visit Marcus, he was never going to stay here permanently, Marcus even offered him too and he said he would rather stay in his home country....most Afghans would rather die than leave their home country....
Axel was from my hometown so this movie holds a special place w me. I’ve seen other war films but few hold to this one. Thank you for showing something even if it isn’t easy to watch
I heard Axe the guy played by Ben Foster actually had both of his eyes shot out from a wound to his temple, then he crawled something like 4-5 miles and kept fighting the whole way. He only has a few rounds left in his last magazine when his body was recovered. Fighting on his sense of hearing and crawling for miles. These men are not like the rest.
You just never know what you may do on any day that could inspire someone man . I truly mean it when I say you’re one of the realist type of men . It really shows and that in itself is sometimes enough. All my best to our brother going through his hard times . We are all pulling for ya my man . Great work as usual . Thank you
I Appreciate it.. There is more than enough hate in the world. I refuse to not spread the negativity. It truly means a lot when subs like yourself take time out of your day to post comments like this✊
@@morbidangel2424 I don’t think this is true but I heard is brother Morgan was in the movie too, but I’ve never heard him talk about it. They’re both bad asses! Marcus is scary but Morgan is FN Frightening! 😆
If you haven't already, I think you'd enjoy reacting to "12 Strong" a movie about the first major military operation in Afghanistan following 9/11. Thanks for the channel.
Devin - It's nice to see you enjoy the movie and to watch your reaction change throughout as the whole movie. At the end you were very sober and serious and it shows your respect for our brothers who fought and died. Thank you for your service from one veteran to another. Air Force here....Army there......one team, one fight. This movie is hard to watch as a veteran. ~~ “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” ~~
Wow man you are absolutely passionate🙏🏼 your kind words at the beginning really impacted me! I’m speechless, I don’t know what to say. Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🏼 you have no idea how much you’re helping🙏🏼 You really lifted me up🙏🏼Thank you
@@deving9793 That’s what up man🙏🏼 I don’t have much money right now, but as soon as I can, I will become a patreon! And thanks for the hard work! Can’t wait to rewatch these full length 🤙
I lost my 73yr old mother on 11/25/20 and it sucked, but with faith, family, and friends I was able to come through it. They are in a better place, and are with those who have gone before us. You are in my prayers.....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY
"god" I spotted the religious fanatic. Religion is to do what you are told regardless of what is right. Morality is to do what is right regardless of what you are told.
I remember seein the first trailers for this and was just stunned at the fact that Marcus' book was being made into a movie. Knowing that Peter Berg was directing I knew that he wasn't gonna pull any punches and was gonna tell the story right. With all that in mind.... when I saw the Chinook get hit, my eyes couldn't move away from the screen. I had tears in my eyes, my mouth was open in shock and it felt like the world just stopped. Seeing 18 SEALs, PJs and the Chinook crew fall from the sky and just crumble against the mountain stunned the hell outta me. It's one of those scenes that is imprinted in your mind forever.
Man I'm a minute and a half into your video and while I cant say I have experienced anyhting like what that gentleman is going through and hope to god I never experience anything like that, I've experienced my own issues and all I can say to you is thank you for your great attitude during your reactions. You're a blast to watch every time and your excitement is genuine. That said, it seems like this kind of thing has been the theme of the day for me. The first video I saw linked on a forum today just hit me in the gut and was very cathartic and I spent all day thinking about it. Then I get on to my youtube reactor channels and the first guy announces that his own daughter is now going through something that no one in their family has ever had and hes just asking for thoughts and prayers. So many people are having a tough day, week, month, year, decade and its incredibly helpful for those in pain to check out of life for a moment, sit back and watch someone else experience the same joy/sadness/fear/nervousness or whatever that they once felt while watching a movie. When I first got into reaction videos I was confused how they were even a thing. It sounded really stupid to be honest but theres little that I find more enjoyable online now than watching people have a great time checking out great songs and movies. Its definitely not a self serving thing you're doing here, so thank you brother.
Since you specifically like reaction videos, watch The Raid. Its an Indonesian (I think?) action movie. Some of the best action ever in any movie. You will not be disappointed. Its subtitled but uh....yea you dont really need to know whats said lol. It helps but its like 2 hours straight action.
Agreed. The real story is fucking insane. The forest battle was pretty accurate but he goes into great detail how the Afghans helped him and saved his life.
I went to see Marcus Lutrell speak on his book tour and he basically recounted this entire story in a first person perspective. It was the craziest thing I ever heard in my life. They hollywoodized some of the story but from my memory the movie is about 90% accurate to what I remember from Marcus’s retelling.
I go down rabbit holes and I bounce around to a lot of reaction videos on various movies and music when I waste time on youtube. It's unusual for me to be on one persons channel for more than a video or two and I've been here at least two hours this Friday night. You've got a great, funny energy in your reactions to some of my favorite movies. You're an entertaining personality. Thanks for sharing.
Dude, I'm so glad to have bumped into your channel, I love your genuine expressions and honest emotions. Another brilliant movie that captures the bravery and sacrifice even though not of military personnel is Only The Brave. Highly recommended dude since it's another true story
I've been subscribed for only a short time but your character is outstanding to say the least and you make quality videos, keep up the good work. Much respect from Dallas, Tx
devin g you had a beautiful reaction to this movie. this is a movie that i hold very dearly close to my heart. basically your reaction was mine to the first time i seen this movie. this movie is really only of a few that makes me cry everytime i watch it. i give you props for doing this video.
You the best man. This pretty much wraps up all my fav military movies that you've reacted to and you hit em all out the park! Glad you enjoyed them all. I tried to warn you that this one was a very tough movie to watch but it's definitely worth the watch. Glad to see your channel growing quick! Looking forward to more
Just got the hard back book lone survivor a few days ago I am very excited to start reading it soon I would like to thank all our military veterans for there service and you Devin g God bless!
(Correction) read Jack Doe’s response. Actually he was bound by his religion ... Sharia law States that they will help somebody in need regardless of their tribe..
It’s not sharia law it’s an unwritten Pashtun code of conduct. Once you take a guest in you have to protect them, even unto death. It’s an honor thing.
This movie alone was so amazing done! The ending memorial always gets me teared up especially with Peter Gabriel's "Heroes", even in the tone of the singer's voice its like you can hear a struggle of pain and sorrow, just like you end up feeling for those fallen soldiers. One of my favorite soldier movies.
@@djnightmare6666 They did our guys so fucking wrong there. That outcome was inevitable and everyone at that outpost knew it. It was just a matter of time. But top wouldn’t listen and do something to get them out even though the outpost was basically useless. So fucking wrong and it could’ve and should’ve been avoided.
Respect to G and our fellow G watcher'er(?) that is going through a hard time. I've been there and wish you the best. Sending love to you. Stay strong for them.
Peter Berg has a gorgeous amount of respect for the heroes he directs movies about. The care he puts into the events and the men and women that are at the Focal point brings the audience closer.
I wrote a paper on Michael Murphy while in AIT and read the book a couple years later while on deployment in like 2007. Very close to my heart. So glad you did this. Much love.
In real life they didn't kill any enemy and there were no more than 12 enemy soldiers. He was found with pretty much all the Ammunition he took and No enemy bodies were found in the area. It's unfortunate that the book and film is hogwash,
@@Jackholiday1025 yeah I heard and saw interviews with Marcus and Gulab and Gulab pointing out Marcus still has full magazines in his pouches and that pissed Marcus off so Marcus got rid of Gulab. I gotta say, Gulab has lots of life issues since he saved Marcus
I have watched this movie over and over about 20 plus times, this is the best movie I have ever watched. it is based on a true story so I became emotional when I imagined the suffering they went through.
Devin - I agree with you. I like to watch war movies too but they are hard to watch. We love to see the bravery and skill these soldiers possess but to see them shot and killed is hard to take. My brother was a sniper in the 82nd. Thankfully, he got out of the military before the Middle East and Afghan wars started. Thank you for your service and I subscribed.
The best line is "such vivid reds" Thats such a real moment. When things are going really bad, you'd be surprised what silly, random thoughts pop into your head. Dude's hand is blown off and hes thinking about the wall paper color samples his wife been stressing him over...Just an amazing, subtle moment that i think a lot of people dont notice in this flick. The scene is too intense to even care, honestly. Emile Hirsch is the man.
Was fortunate enough to see this on release day in a packed theater. During the end credits when they show the photos of the real people, every man in that theater was emotional enough to either be crying or trying to fight the man next to him. For real, there were fights in the seats behind us - not knowing what to do with all the emotions
I lived in Houston in the early 2000's (near where Marcus Luttrell's family lives) and in 2010 was fortunate enough to meet Marcus at an Astros game where he was signing his book this film is based upon. It was the only time in my life I've ever felt "star struck" as I had read the book the previous year. He signed my book "Never Quit". He also was still obviously dealing with the after effects of this event 5 years later. In addition, I've also sent my condolences to Michael Murphy's father Dan who was so gracious to respond to my comment. He thanked me for my comments and for remembering his "Buddy Boy". If you EVER get the chance....read the book this film is based upon. It is the finest book I have ever read.
Luttrell: He took two rounds to the chest because it spun like a top and it dropped him. And I tried to make my way up to him. He was my best friend, and I already lost Danny and I knew that Ax was dying and I didn’t want to lose him. That’s all I wanted him to do, was to come down to me. That’s all I wanted him to do, was come down to me. I heard his gun go off and a lot of gunfire in his area. I was trying with everything I had to get to him. He started screaming my name. Hey was like, ‘Marcus man, you gotta help me! I need help, Marcus!’ It got so intense that I actually put my weapon down and covered my ears because I couldn’t stand to hear him die. All I wanted him to do was stop screaming my name. And they killed him. And I put my weapon down in a gunfight while my best friend was getting killed - so that pretty much makes me a coward. Did Marcus put this in his book? Or did he leave this part out? This is from his interview with Anderson Cooper.
8th Grade on youtube, Watching everything I can on military and special operations I come across a man giving a talk/speech. It was Marcus Luttrell telling what happened to him,his team and fellow BIA's.Even seeing some of the filmed propaganda footage of the aftermath before it was taken down mostly by google. Anyways, I stopped reading for a while, but I somehow got a copy per my Dad of Lone Survivor. I read that book 15 times, because every word and sentence of it resonated with me. I ended up telling people about it ,having them read it. I decided to do a huge report /project in my Literature class about what happened, Lone Survivor,Socom,Devgru and Navy seals in general on a giant poster board. It solidified everything I already saw and went through when I was a little kid surprisingly but also taught me a lot of things as well. That book if read by every one of my classmates and young kids today probably would help all the junk going on nowadays in some way. So though not perfect or right with everything surrounding what happened, it also reminded me & opened my eyes to the absolute truth of the struggle & fight that the few of us left that are God Fearing Americans go through on a daily basis. Great review! Many Thank's -Dave R.
Im with you D, I have lots of family currently enlisted and retired from all four branches. Anyone thats close to family serving feels like your there with them so I have mad respect for any person that serves our great country. I bough this movie back in 2013 and have watched twice. Its a great sad story but a hard watch for some.
Mikey, axe, Danny, Marcus and the whole seal squad really put out for this country, I’m very grateful. Mike Murphy climbing into the open to make that satellite call when he knew it would cost him his life is just incredible.

@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 Those are his words not mine. If you wanna put someone who laid their gun down in a firefight to cover their ears instead of help their brother, up on your shoulders. Thats on you! LMFAO
I love how it goes into the real lives lost and their families etc, does them an amazing service! The movie Alone at Dawn or whatever it will be called will be comming out next year documenting SEAK Niel Roberts and uSAF CAC John Chapman’s horrific but unbelievably heroic fight in Afgansitan that got him 2 Medals of Honor taking on 26 very trained mercenaries on his own while mortally wounded , all to push the fight and save the men on the QRF Incomming actually crawling out of his bunker positioning himself in the open between the Chinook landing and the other enemy bunker, he drew the fire to himself and kept heads down knowing his life was done. He fought for hours alone mortally wounded , in shock , high altitude , below freezing temps in thigh deep snow with 16 bullet wounds by the end . The only way he was killed was the 16th round pierced his heart. The whole operation was a cluster fuck from the beginning and a tragic disaster of events similar to those in Operation Red Wing. An Airforce combat controller vet with 12 years of special operations service wrote Johns story of the event and he’s been brought on to advise to get it right like Marcus and this. I’m greatful they’re going to show this other remarkable unreal event. If you haven’t heard of it Google John Chapman first ever recorded Medal of Honor on RUclips , it’s CIA real drone footage of most of the fight. It’s a tear jerker tho
My all time favorite war movie . Marcus is a hero along with his brothers . I pray for the souls of Lt. Mike Murphy, Danny Dietz and Matt Axelsen. I’m proud to be an American 🇺🇸
In the search and recovery mission , it took them two weeks to find axe. He and evaded a long ass way , extremely wounded. Was found in a little cave with like 1 magazine left. Absolut warrior
When Ben Foster’s character “Axe” gets shot in the head….that’s the saddest moment for me because just a few moments before he was asking”are we good?” and he’s sitting against that tree bleeding out and just gets popped in the head. Shit made me cry.
Devin, I accidentally came across you. I am happy I did, I am also retired army. Where did you serve? Also this movie is very personal to me. The chinook that was shot down during the rescue carried several friends of mine. Stay strong and keep it up NSDQ!
That’s what I’m saying these idiots had nothing to do with that operation but they want to tell the guy who lived and survived through it what was true or false🤦🏾♂️
Ok but there is footage of the attack and has the team screaming at Marcus to come back cause he was running away, not to mention Mohammad Gulab (the afghan who saved him) says how much the movie gets wrong from how the reason they got caught was because they spared those civilians (which was untrue) or how they actually didn’t even kill a single taliban on that mountain, or how he had every bit of ammo he brought with him on that mission (further showing his cowardice), I’m not saying that I wouldn’t have ran away either, but granted I’m not trained for this. My issue is that he decided to lie and profit off the deaths of his squad instead of tell the truth, and then cheat Mohammad Gulab by inviting him to the US just for this cash grab of a movie and cut all ties with him after he asks him about the inaccuracies of the movie. He fuckin lied, nuff said
@@ganjabandit5074 I understand some of what you are saying but there is A LOT of room to fill in thise gaps when accused of this. Some of what you explained were he said she said. Some of the accusations could easily be put on him without the right context . Magazines are from Axel or Murphy. The yelling for Marcus from team disorientation movement becuase your getting suprresed from rpg and hmg's. Not killing a single terrorist is something can believe, thier combat was pure savagery and luck
@@silva5623 the yelling is almost an assured fact that Marcus was running away and fleeing, his team never once said another squad members name besides his, and if you think the man who saved his life and at first declined the movie money because he said “I was just saving him” lied about all of this for no reason then sure, like I said, I’m not judging him for running, the mission was fubar from the start, they were sent in with way too small of a squad, and it’s not like I could have done better (again I haven’t received extensive training to do so as well) but when you lie that hard for such a cash grab off the back of your dead friends I can’t help but hate you as much as possible, I mean seriously, 35 taliban killed? Out of the 10 man squad that attacked him? Complete fucking bullshit
At my local park in Cupertino California their is a Matthew Axelson memorial. Once during Veterans Day I got to meet Axelsons mother who was at the ceremony
Also highly recommended looking into his rescue. They had special forces leaving base in stolen trucks trying to find them also the helicopter that picked him up had to crash land in the side of a mountain to get to him. Honestly could make 3 more movies, he was also held hostage by the taliban for 24 hrs
my dad is a SEAL, served and fought in vietnam, the training hasnt changed and when he watched it brought back so many memories at the beginning it took us like 30 minutes just to get to the actual acting, he had to keep pausing
@@ib3scope uh no, he served from from 74-75 at 20 years old. He's 66 years old this year and idk why you would be surprised that someone has an old parent? like what you think parents stop aging or something? wtf?
@@ib3scope also once a seal always a seal so even if someone is done with their service they'll always be a seal because its an ELITE unit that very few are a part of. same as a marine. once a marine, always a marine.
@@prettymuchbangtan Oh, no; I never intended for that question to produce any discomfort or feelings of my potentially disrespecting you--- I come from a multi-generational military family, as well-- with cousins in 1/75 Ranger Battalion recently returned from Syria. I saw your profile avi and was cross-referencing that age of most Bangtan fans (they have fans of all ages, of course, but their western marketing demographic is people between their mid-teens and late twenties/early-thirties) to the period in which the vietnam war occured, and what age a male serving in that area would be, today! So, I ,perhaps, erroneously concluded that either you're the youngest in a family of older siblings, born between the mid-eighties through the 90s. OR, your parents were slightly-older than average mid 30s-40s, when you were conceived. :-)
Crazy thing is as soon as marcus recovered he redeployed remadi, also when it shows ax get hit in the head he actually to a shot to the face and was completely blind but he had his buddies point him in the direction to shoot
I love this channel. Just wish you were allowed to show the entire thing but that’s a copyright issue, nothing you can do about it. Your commentary is just so real/raw and full of emotion. You get so into it that I get fired up myself, lol.
Marcus has gone back to visit that guy that pulled him outta the water a few times. I think he brought him to Texas to visit too. I know other people have mentioned it but i highly highly recommend the book. This was the biggest loss in SEAL history. I forget the number of SEALs and Marines on the helo that got shot down. But yeah, if you like to read check out the book.
This film had fantastic stunt work. I think it’s way past time for the Oscars to start honoring the stunt performers. Their work can be dangerous and they work hard and they add so much realism to movies.

If you are a fan of Edward Norton, Samuel L Jackson, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Brad Pitt, Martin Lawrence, Keanu Reeves, Matthew McConaughey , Chris Tucker, Nicolas Cage, Lawrence Fishburne, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ving Rhaymes then you'll love these movies.
It hurts so much when our soldiers get disrespected by our own people. People that have no clue of the sacrifices our soldiers make. Like in this situation where maybe it could have been avoided with killing the goat herders they did the right thing. Much respect from 🇬🇧
"Pashtunwali" is the term for why those villagers helped him. They believe all people are deserving of being offered help if its needed, regardless of what side they're on. Real story, you (maybe?) missed the closing scene where it shows after being rescued and recovering, he was able to visit that village and the family again to thank them.
The smile you got when will Patton spoke the creed says it all man. This movie is amazing. If you dont get emotional and feel some type of way when it’s going then you have no soul. If you haven’t watched mile 22 or we were soldiers you should check them out
@Sahir Damani first off I said he visits him in Texas and not that he supports him. Also, where is your proof? Last I check Marcus was trying to help him and his family come to America.
Lt. Michael Murphy. Medal of Honor posthumously for his actions during this event. Absolute legend.
I went to high school with Mike...great guy!!!
@@taraannhickey7277 that’s awesome. New York?
@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 yes patchoue
Hero. His actions are what the Medal of Honour or our Victoria Cross (UK - which my great-uncle won in WW1) are awarded for. Usually posthumous (in my great-uncle's case too) and for doing something where they were pretty much guaranteed to die but they did it anyway because by doing it there was a chance they could save some of their men or buddies' lives. Selfless heroism. That's what Lt. Murphy displayed.
As a boyscout we used to put down flags in Calverton national cemetery. I always made a point of taking a minute to pray in front of Lt. Murphy’s grave. A true hero
Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet. Love that quote!
That line Got me fired up!!!! Puts you in a BEAST mindset 💪
💯💯💯
The most horrific part of this story to me is that in an interview, Marcus said that the movie got a part wrong and that after Michael Murphy made the call, he got pinned down and was screaming for Marcus. Marcus said that he couldn’t reach him and couldn’t stand to hear his best friend screaming for him so much and almost shut down. Thank God that we have men like this who voluntarily endure things so awful and horrible just so the rest of us don’t have to.
What interview is this ?
@@aaronpacho8069 I did read the book and thats how I remember it going down. How ever. Thats been over 10 years ago and I've read a lot of books along the way, I certainly could be remembering this part all wrong.
@@aaronpacho8069 I will admit it has been quite awhile since I read the book and I very well could be wrong about these facts. I wrote as I remember it from the book. Again. It's been over 10 years since I read it and could be completely wrong because I've read a lot of books since that time.
It’s devastating to listen to and watch Marcus in thst interview! SEALs are brain washed to not feel emotion. Pain, regret, sorrow, stuff it all down deep inside , so when you see a SOCOM Tier 2 Navy SEAL that’s done all he’s done , truly some of the very toughest , most skilled and deadly war fighters on earth , to see him break down when he says “I could stand to see him die, he was my best friend, men don’t say I love you to each other but when I see him again soon, it’s the first thing I’ll tel him.” I get so emotional hearing thst and seeing his tears well up and him choke up. Hearing him describe him screaming his name and then how he calls himself a coward for giving up at one point just killed me, when the interviewer says a coward!??? How can you possibly say that!?? And Marcus dead straight face with full conviction says what do u mean? Not grasping how the interviewer doesn’t see that at cowardice and Marcus says becasue it IS cowardice, not continuing to fight is a cowardice act! You can tell he believes that, that’s soenthing rammed into them in SEAL training. You NEVER give up no matter what. So tragic he served as a SEAL all those deployments and went though what he did and somehow sees those few moments of delay as cowardice and regrets it so deeply. He hd a broken back , fractured femur and pelvis broken arm and concave trauma to his nose, but his youngest in half and swallowed it which put him unconscious choking on it, he crawled 7 miles with those injured and all the physical mass head trauma and gun shot wounds , all to survive to fight another day and somehow he seems to focus so much on thaosenfew moments of jsut being a human and not a machine. Seeing his brother killed warrants a human moment.
I’ve always wondered why they got that part so wrong , a part that’s so critical to the story. He says none of his team died alone , he was with each of them when they died , that’s tragic and honorable so for the movie to portray 2 of his team killed alone by themselves is a stupid change to the real event. Marcus only agreed to let the story be told if he was an advisor to get it right so it honors his brothers so I’m confused how he didn’t put his foot down on such an emotionally important detail.
There’s a video on RUclips that was done before lone survivor and it’s the rescue helicopter , crew and pararescuemen that actually got Marcus out and into their helo and it’s UNREAL! The village was on a cliff side not a valley floor and the rescue was a night and when the helicopter began to decend there was nowhere to land and it kicked up so much dust the pilots experienced a brown out , zero visibility at night in a dust cloud and had to hover 3 feet from the rotors hitting the house , the pilot ended up being able to see ONLY a hanging potted plant in a window of the home swinging and he focused on only thst for 12 minutes holding a hover 3 feet from a building and 1,200 foot cliff below them if he hit the home. The pararescuemen jumped from the helicopter over the 1200 foot fall between the cliff and helo not being able to see the cliff , leap of faith and then breached the home where Lutrell and the father and son were and they did some extensive verification process before helping him to the still hovering helo thst was taking fire. The entire flight to thst spot was wild too, the air support had to leave early so the chinook was again on its own. It’s an AMAZING part of the story that is left out of the movie . Would have been cool to add another 15 minutes and show how the rescue actually went down and show these hero pilot and the pararescuemen thst were 100% selfless taking on the entire enemy force by themselves to get him out. The pilot crew and pararescuemen volunteered for that rescue mission knowing they wouldn’t have any air suport by the time they got there and would be outnumbered and under fire and didn’t blink about going all in. The pilot said he truly believed they were all going to die when the brown out happened, he said it’s impossible to perform a controlEd hover in a brownout not to mention on a cliff side and 3 feet from the building but said IF we didn’t try , Marcus would have been killed by the time we could remount another attempt so everyone on board agreed in the moment they had to try. If they hit the building and fell 1,200 feet to their deaths or took rounds and crashed , they did all they could to get him. Such amazing dedication, to consciously have the pilot , co pilot , engineer, gunner and 2 pararescuemen not think twice about aborting the rescue, risking ALL their lives with assured death when all the odds were against them, to jsut try to recover a single soldier! There’s nothing like that military commitment and brotherhood. Putting your fellow soldiers lives above your own always. Amazing!
@@chrisatf8973 it’s on RUclips, there’s several that are all good. The one he’s talking about I believe is an interview with a church pastor , a speaking event , another one is speaking to a high school football team where he goes into detail about his injuries which are wild! And then there’s another interview he did shortly after the movie came out with the white haired MTV interviewer that moved to 20/20 or soenthing like that. Thst ones devastating, you can see his hurt and pain and he calls himself a coward becasue he stopped fighting right after his best friend was killed. Just for a few minutes , after watching all 3 teammates killed he says he’s a coward for crumbling for those couple minutes. It’s heart breaking and I can’t understand how he can think that except that the SEAL training trains them to never ever stop fighting so he believes in those moments he failed. The interviewer is a psychologist I believe and argues with him about saying he’s a coward, he tells him he’s not a machine, he experienced massive physical and emotional trauma , watched his 3 best friends die horrible deaths and for 2 minutes his human emotions broke him from his fight trance and then marcus truly looks confused, he can’t understand how the interviewer doesn’t see it as cowardice and says , I say thst becasue it was a cowardous act, putting your rifle down in a gunfight is a cowardice act. All 3 interviews and speeches are AMAZING and five more detail , I HIGHLY recommend everyone watch them. Jsut search “Marcus Lutrell - Lone survivor interview -speach” you’ll see them in there and 4 of them are amazing and all add different things so worth seeing all 4
I was in Iraq during my first deployment when this happened. It was a damn sad day when we got word. I read the book during my third deployment. I’m not a big reader but I was absolutely hooked. I cried almost the whole book while also feeling blessed that we have real super heroes on our side that can do what those teams do.
Prayers go out to the person you addressed at the beginning of this video.
Marcus actually crawled for 7 miles towards the villagers due to him being temporarily paralyzed after being separated from Axe but Hollywood didn’t wanna show that for some reason
Hollywood also didnt want to show that he had all of magazines on his vest(full) when they found him. Among other things like; they only fought something like a 12 man fireteam. Also that they for some reason sped away and landed way to close to the target, outpacing the Apaches so they had no air support. That is just some of the fuck ups on this mission.
@@Roderik95 they found him with 1 mag left of 11 rounds after burning through 13 of them in his gunfight
@@LuisMartinez-pq8wd Not according to the tribesmen.
The Seals try to protect their reputation you know. Just like with John Chapman "Alone at Dawn" the combat controller. They were not even going to give him the medal of honor or recognize the incident.
@breaking the 4th wall like Deborah Lee James seemed to have difficulty getting him the Medal
“I believe the SEALs want to honor John Chapman,” Ms. James said. “What some don’t want is they don’t want it linked to him getting back up and fighting back on.”

@@LuisMartinez-pq8wd He and his team didn't kill any targets. No enemy bodies were found and there were likely no more than dozen enemy. Look it up.
This is the first of three true story movies that Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg teamed up to do. The next two were Deepwater Horizon (about the BP oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010) and then Patriots Day (about the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing). Highly recommend both of them.
All great movies.
Patriots Day never fails to give me goosebumps. I remember exactly what I was doing that day.

You’re a good guy, Devin. Thanks for taking that moment to send some love to one of your viewers who is hurting.
fun fact: the guy that was wearing black beanie with sunglasses is the actual Marcus Luttrell and the guy that saved him is actually living here in America now. he cant go back to his own country because of what he did. .. cannot wait till you react to american sniper and 12 strong.. but you have to react to marcus luttrell story when he was there.
Oh he actually got into the States? Last I checked he was having issues with that, nice to hear it worked out for the fella in the end!
@@mattwillerton6775 I heard something about he got over here but had issues bringing his family

@@xvavhofo3126 he never lived here permanently, he was only coming here once a year to visit Marcus, he was never going to stay here permanently, Marcus even offered him too and he said he would rather stay in his home country....most Afghans would rather die than leave their home country....
@breaking the 4th wall like visas expire ya know. having a visa doesn't make you a citizen
Axel was from my hometown so this movie holds a special place w me. I’ve seen other war films but few hold to this one. Thank you for showing something even if it isn’t easy to watch
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Axel is a true hero "the real hero's are the ones who never come home or the ones that are waiting to come home" Dick Winters Band of Brothers
I heard Axe the guy played by Ben Foster actually had both of his eyes shot out from a wound to his temple, then he crawled something like 4-5 miles and kept fighting the whole way. He only has a few rounds left in his last magazine when his body was recovered. Fighting on his sense of hearing and crawling for miles. These men are not like the rest.
Absolute legend
You just never know what you may do on any day that could inspire someone man . I truly mean it when I say you’re one of the realist type of men . It really shows and that in itself is sometimes enough. All my best to our brother going through his hard times . We are all pulling for ya my man . Great work as usual . Thank you
I Appreciate it.. There is more than enough hate in the world. I refuse to not spread the negativity. It truly means a lot when subs like yourself take time out of your day to post comments like this✊

Also in the back of the ch-47 when it goes down
@@morbidangel2424 I don’t think this is true but I heard is brother Morgan was in the movie too, but I’ve never heard him talk about it. They’re both bad asses! Marcus is scary but Morgan is FN Frightening! 😆

Devin - It's nice to see you enjoy the movie and to watch your reaction change throughout as the whole movie. At the end you were very sober and serious and it shows your respect for our brothers who fought and died. Thank you for your service from one veteran to another.

This movie is hard to watch as a veteran. ~~ “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” ~~

Best military reactions on RUclips!!! 🙌
I remember seein the first trailers for this and was just stunned at the fact that Marcus' book was being made into a movie. Knowing that Peter Berg was directing I knew that he wasn't gonna pull any punches and was gonna tell the story right. With all that in mind.... when I saw the Chinook get hit, my eyes couldn't move away from the screen. I had tears in my eyes, my mouth was open in shock and it felt like the world just stopped. Seeing 18 SEALs, PJs and the Chinook crew fall from the sky and just crumble against the mountain stunned the hell outta me. It's one of those scenes that is imprinted in your mind forever.
Man I'm a minute and a half into your video and while I cant say I have experienced anyhting like what that gentleman is going through and hope to god I never experience anything like that, I've experienced my own issues and all I can say to you is thank you for your great attitude during your reactions. You're a blast to watch every time and your excitement is genuine. That said, it seems like this kind of thing has been the theme of the day for me. The first video I saw linked on a forum today just hit me in the gut and was very cathartic and I spent all day thinking about it. Then I get on to my youtube reactor channels and the first guy announces that his own daughter is now going through something that no one in their family has ever had and hes just asking for thoughts and prayers.
So many people are having a tough day, week, month, year, decade and its incredibly helpful for those in pain to check out of life for a moment, sit back and watch someone else experience the same joy/sadness/fear/nervousness or whatever that they once felt while watching a movie. When I first got into reaction videos I was confused how they were even a thing. It sounded really stupid to be honest but theres little that I find more enjoyable online now than watching people have a great time checking out great songs and movies.
Its definitely not a self serving thing you're doing here, so thank you brother.
Since you specifically like reaction videos, watch The Raid. Its an Indonesian (I think?) action movie. Some of the best action ever in any movie. You will not be disappointed. Its subtitled but uh....yea you dont really need to know whats said lol. It helps but its like 2 hours straight action.
When I was a firearms instructor, I had the privilege of meeting Marcus Luttrell. That dude is cool as hell. And inspiration for all veterans.
In many regions in the middle east, it is tradition and even unspoken law that anyone under the care of a village is to be protected at all costs.
You should definitely read the Lone Survivor book
Agreed. The real story is fucking insane. The forest battle was pretty accurate but he goes into great detail how the Afghans helped him and saved his life.
yes!! i read it during basic training and i couldn’t put it down
@@chasescanlon6488 You do know that book is bullshit right? They never killed any targets and there were no more than a dozen hostiles.
@@Jackholiday1025 where is your proof?
@jack holiday don’t ever disrespect the long survivor like that. Thank you Marcus , Danny, Matt and Michael
I went to see Marcus Lutrell speak on his book tour and he basically recounted this entire story in a first person perspective. It was the craziest thing I ever heard in my life. They hollywoodized some of the story but from my memory the movie is about 90% accurate to what I remember from Marcus’s retelling.
I go down rabbit holes and I bounce around to a lot of reaction videos on various movies and music when I waste time on youtube. It's unusual for me to be on one persons channel for more than a video or two and I've been here at least two hours this Friday night. You've got a great, funny energy in your reactions to some of my favorite movies. You're an entertaining personality. Thanks for sharing.
Great reaction mate and I felt the same way when I first watched this movie . Loved watching this with you and look forward to many more .
Your reactions are so authentic and that’s why I follow you 🙏🏼
I discovered you a few days ago and I'm glad I did. this is my favorite reaction channel on yt and its not even close
Dude, I'm so glad to have bumped into your channel, I love your genuine expressions and honest emotions. Another brilliant movie that captures the bravery and sacrifice even though not of military personnel is Only The Brave. Highly recommended dude since it's another true story
You should react to "Tears of the Sun". It's another awesome Navy Seals movie.
for sure
Absolutely! Amazing film
Great movie
One of the best movies to ever come out
Yeh foreal. Tears of the sun is crazy.
I've been subscribed for only a short time but your character is outstanding to say the least and you make quality videos, keep up the good work. Much respect from Dallas, Tx

devin g you had a beautiful reaction to this movie. this is a movie that i hold very dearly close to my heart. basically your reaction was mine to the first time i seen this movie. this movie is really only of a few that makes me cry everytime i watch it. i give you props for doing this video.
You the best man. This pretty much wraps up all my fav military movies that you've reacted to and you hit em all out the park! Glad you enjoyed them all. I tried to warn you that this one was a very tough movie to watch but it's definitely worth the watch. Glad to see your channel growing quick! Looking forward to more
It was said when they recovered ax’s body he had an empty gun and was surrounded by 12 dead enemies
Just got the hard back book lone survivor a few days ago I am very excited to start reading it soon I would like to thank all our military veterans for there service and you Devin g God bless!
React to KINGDOM OF HEAVEN with Orlando Bloom. The Cross part and the Crusader Army coming up is so fire.
Yes! Please it is a great film!
100% yes, hopefully it would be the directors cut because it makes a good movie great.
Amazing movie
Make sure to watch the director’s cut, very important.
Also, watch Centurion
EXTENDED EDITION though!
(Correction) read Jack Doe’s response.
Actually he was bound by his religion ... Sharia law States that they will help somebody in need regardless of their tribe..
Is that Sharia or just Afghan code of conduct. I've heard Marcus speak on it but Idk if she said it was due to Sharia.
It’s not sharia law it’s an unwritten Pashtun code of conduct. Once you take a guest in you have to protect them, even unto death. It’s an honor thing.
@@jackdoe8000 Pashtunawali (spelling might be wrong) is a code that if you are taken in, you will be protected.
There were 8 more seals and 8 spec ops on the chopper that was shot down.
Another great reaction brother.
Love your channel bro. Thoughts with the man going through tough times, keep your head up brother
This movie alone was so amazing done! The ending memorial always gets me teared up especially with Peter Gabriel's "Heroes", even in the tone of the singer's voice its like you can hear a struggle of pain and sorrow, just like you end up feeling for those fallen soldiers. One of my favorite soldier movies.
U should try to watch the outpost based on a true story how a US outpost was being attacked in the Middle East.it’s on Netflix
That movie is intense .. like saving private Ryan in reverse .. the end .. jeez
good movie
That shit was fucked...
Dude I remember reading about that when I was in high school about 9 years ago.
@@djnightmare6666 They did our guys so fucking wrong there. That outcome was inevitable and everyone at that outpost knew it. It was just a matter of time. But top wouldn’t listen and do something to get them out even though the outpost was basically useless. So fucking wrong and it could’ve and should’ve been avoided.

So meaningful
Respect to G and our fellow G watcher'er(?) that is going through a hard time. I've been there and wish you the best. Sending love to you. Stay strong for them.
Peter Berg has a gorgeous amount of respect for the heroes he directs movies about. The care he puts into the events and the men and women that are at the Focal point brings the audience closer.
your reactions when they falling down mountains is HILARIOUS!! aw damn.
I wrote a paper on Michael Murphy while in AIT and read the book a couple years later while on deployment in like 2007. Very close to my heart. So glad you did this. Much love.
In the book he said they packed more ammo than usual because they all had a gut feeling they were gonna need it.
In real life they didn't kill any enemy and there were no more than 12 enemy soldiers. He was found with pretty much all the Ammunition he took and No enemy bodies were found in the area. It's unfortunate that the book and film is hogwash,
@@Jackholiday1025 yeah I heard and saw interviews with Marcus and Gulab and Gulab pointing out Marcus still has full magazines in his pouches and that pissed Marcus off so Marcus got rid of Gulab. I gotta say, Gulab has lots of life issues since he saved Marcus
Shit guys, blown the doors of my perception off there
@@Jackholiday1025 that's all false and mere claims
@@jacobrhodes7777 unfortunately the movie is an embellishment. I didn’t know until i came across a top comment on a military related subreddit.
The Stuntmen did a magnificent job on the tumble scene. There were quite a few injuries during the filming

The guy who saved him even went to Texas and visited Marcus. They are friends still!
I have watched this movie over and over about 20 plus times, this is the best movie I have ever watched. it is based on a true story so I became emotional when I imagined the suffering they went through.
best genuine reaction channel there is
@ Devin G. I love your reactions. And you seem like a genuinely Good Guy. Thanks for what you do. 🤜
Devin - I agree with you. I like to watch war movies too but they are hard to watch. We love to see the bravery and skill these soldiers possess but to see them shot and killed is hard to take. My brother was a sniper in the 82nd. Thankfully, he got out of the military before the Middle East and Afghan wars started. Thank you for your service and I subscribed.
The best line is "such vivid reds" Thats such a real moment. When things are going really bad, you'd be surprised what silly, random thoughts pop into your head. Dude's hand is blown off and hes thinking about the wall paper color samples his wife been stressing him over...Just an amazing, subtle moment that i think a lot of people dont notice in this flick. The scene is too intense to even care, honestly. Emile Hirsch is the man.
Was fortunate enough to see this on release day in a packed theater. During the end credits when they show the photos of the real people, every man in that theater was emotional enough to either be crying or trying to fight the man next to him. For real, there were fights in the seats behind us - not knowing what to do with all the emotions
I lived in Houston in the early 2000's (near where Marcus Luttrell's family lives) and in 2010 was fortunate enough to meet Marcus at an Astros game where he was signing his book this film is based upon. It was the only time in my life I've ever felt "star struck" as I had read the book the previous year. He signed my book "Never Quit". He also was still obviously dealing with the after effects of this event 5 years later.
In addition, I've also sent my condolences to Michael Murphy's father Dan who was so gracious to respond to my comment. He thanked me for my comments and for remembering his "Buddy Boy".
If you EVER get the chance....read the book this film is based upon. It is the finest book I have ever read.
Luttrell: He took two rounds to the chest because it spun like a top and it dropped him. And I tried to make my way up to him. He was my best friend, and I already lost Danny and I knew that Ax was dying and I didn’t want to lose him. That’s all I wanted him to do, was to come down to me. That’s all I wanted him to do, was come down to me. I heard his gun go off and a lot of gunfire in his area. I was trying with everything I had to get to him. He started screaming my name. Hey was like, ‘Marcus man, you gotta help me! I need help, Marcus!’ It got so intense that I actually put my weapon down and covered my ears because I couldn’t stand to hear him die. All I wanted him to do was stop screaming my name. And they killed him. And I put my weapon down in a gunfight while my best friend was getting killed - so that pretty much makes me a coward.
Did Marcus put this in his book? Or did he leave this part out? This is from his interview with Anderson Cooper.
When Devin says "Ohhhh shitttt." You know its serious.
8th Grade on youtube, Watching everything I can on military and special operations I come across a man giving a talk/speech. It was Marcus Luttrell telling what happened to him,his team and fellow BIA's.Even seeing some of the filmed propaganda footage of the aftermath before it was taken down mostly by google. Anyways, I stopped reading for a while, but I somehow got a copy per my Dad of Lone Survivor. I read that book 15 times, because every word and sentence of it resonated with me. I ended up telling people about it ,having them read it. I decided to do a huge report /project in my Literature class about what happened, Lone Survivor,Socom,Devgru and Navy seals in general on a giant poster board. It solidified everything I already saw and went through when I was a little kid surprisingly but also taught me a lot of things as well. That book if read by every one of my classmates and young kids today probably would help all the junk going on nowadays in some way. So though not perfect or right with everything surrounding what happened, it also reminded me & opened my eyes to the absolute truth of the struggle & fight that the few of us left that are God Fearing Americans go through on a daily basis.
Great review!
Many Thank's

Marcus Luttrell is running for Congress here in Texas.
Im with you D, I have lots of family currently enlisted and retired from all four branches. Anyone thats close to family serving feels like your there with them so I have mad respect for any person that serves our great country. I bough this movie back in 2013 and have watched twice. Its a great sad story but a hard watch for some.
Mikey, axe, Danny, Marcus and the whole seal squad really put out for this country, I’m very grateful. Mike Murphy climbing into the open to make that satellite call when he knew it would cost him his life is just incredible.
Luttrell: He took two rounds to the chest because it spun like a top and it dropped him. And I tried to make my way up to him. He was my best friend, and I already lost Danny and I knew that Ax was dying and I didn’t want to lose him. That’s all I wanted him to do, was to come down to me. That’s all I wanted him to do, was come down to me. I heard his gun go off and a lot of gunfire in his area. I was trying with everything I had to get to him. He started screaming my name. Hey was like, ‘Marcus man, you gotta help me! I need help, Marcus!’ It got so intense that I actually put my weapon down and covered my ears because I couldn’t stand to hear him die. All I wanted him to do was stop screaming my name. And they killed him. And I put my weapon down in a gunfight while my best friend was getting killed - so that pretty much makes me a coward.
Only 3 of those men put out for this country.
@@user-vm3hz9vf8e lmao he did more for this country than you have ever done, take a seat tough guy.
@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 Those are his words not mine. If you wanna put someone who laid their gun down in a firefight to cover their ears instead of help their brother, up on your shoulders. Thats on you! LMFAO
@@user-vm3hz9vf8e done more than you’ll ever do

The behind the scenes of this movie is wonderful. There’s also a video of Lutrell speaking that you should watch. Much more detailed and very touching
I love how it goes into the real lives lost and their families etc, does them an amazing service! The movie Alone at Dawn or whatever it will be called will be comming out next year documenting SEAK Niel Roberts and uSAF CAC John Chapman’s horrific but unbelievably heroic fight in Afgansitan that got him 2 Medals of Honor taking on 26 very trained mercenaries on his own while mortally wounded , all to push the fight and save the men on the QRF Incomming actually crawling out of his bunker positioning himself in the open between the Chinook landing and the other enemy bunker, he drew the fire to himself and kept heads down knowing his life was done. He fought for hours alone mortally wounded , in shock , high altitude , below freezing temps in thigh deep snow with 16 bullet wounds by the end . The only way he was killed was the 16th round pierced his heart. The whole operation was a cluster fuck from the beginning and a tragic disaster of events similar to those in Operation Red Wing. An Airforce combat controller vet with 12 years of special operations service wrote Johns story of the event and he’s been brought on to advise to get it right like Marcus and this. I’m greatful they’re going to show this other remarkable unreal event. If you haven’t heard of it Google John Chapman first ever recorded Medal of Honor on RUclips , it’s CIA real drone footage of most of the fight. It’s a tear jerker tho
@@MZ-bl6wg I’ve seen the footage. That will be a great movie. Tough to watch but great
My all time favorite war movie . Marcus is a hero along with his brothers . I pray for the souls of Lt. Mike Murphy, Danny Dietz and Matt Axelsen. I’m proud to be an American 🇺🇸
In the search and recovery mission , it took them two weeks to find axe. He and evaded a long ass way , extremely wounded. Was found in a little cave with like 1 magazine left. Absolut warrior
When the gunships start firing my dude says "Ohhhhhhhh!! Kkkkkklllllkkkkklllll"
I too got up and yelled the first time I watched it
Medal of Honor. Earned in death. May he always be remembered 👀🤘🤘🤘🤘 I always remember!
When Ben Foster’s character “Axe” gets shot in the head….that’s the saddest moment for me because just a few moments before he was asking”are we good?” and he’s sitting against that tree bleeding out and just gets popped in the head. Shit made me cry.
Devin, I accidentally came across you. I am happy I did, I am also retired army. Where did you serve? Also this movie is very personal to me. The chinook that was shot down during the rescue carried several friends of mine. Stay strong and keep it up NSDQ!
The fan behind him looks like an Apache propeller😂😂
Serving British army infanteer here mate what service were u?
My favorite military film hands down!!
Love what you're doing man. Your energy is great. Keep it up.
This movie and audio book changed me. Learning about Marcus Luttrell and what he went through, and goes through still, has been such an experience.
Pisses me a bit off that some people think that marcus lied about the events.
Same. It’s disgusting.
That’s what I’m saying these idiots had nothing to do with that operation but they want to tell the guy who lived and survived through it what was true or false🤦🏾♂️
Ok but there is footage of the attack and has the team screaming at Marcus to come back cause he was running away, not to mention Mohammad Gulab (the afghan who saved him) says how much the movie gets wrong from how the reason they got caught was because they spared those civilians (which was untrue) or how they actually didn’t even kill a single taliban on that mountain, or how he had every bit of ammo he brought with him on that mission (further showing his cowardice), I’m not saying that I wouldn’t have ran away either, but granted I’m not trained for this. My issue is that he decided to lie and profit off the deaths of his squad instead of tell the truth, and then cheat Mohammad Gulab by inviting him to the US just for this cash grab of a movie and cut all ties with him after he asks him about the inaccuracies of the movie. He fuckin lied, nuff said
@@ganjabandit5074 I understand some of what you are saying but there is A LOT of room to fill in thise gaps when accused of this. Some of what you explained were he said she said. Some of the accusations could easily be put on him without the right context . Magazines are from Axel or Murphy. The yelling for Marcus from team disorientation movement becuase your getting suprresed from rpg and hmg's. Not killing a single terrorist is something can believe, thier combat was pure savagery and luck
@@silva5623 the yelling is almost an assured fact that Marcus was running away and fleeing, his team never once said another squad members name besides his, and if you think the man who saved his life and at first declined the movie money because he said “I was just saving him” lied about all of this for no reason then sure, like I said, I’m not judging him for running, the mission was fubar from the start, they were sent in with way too small of a squad, and it’s not like I could have done better (again I haven’t received extensive training to do so as well) but when you lie that hard for such a cash grab off the back of your dead friends I can’t help but hate you as much as possible, I mean seriously, 35 taliban killed? Out of the 10 man squad that attacked him? Complete fucking bullshit
At my local park in Cupertino California their is a Matthew Axelson memorial. Once during Veterans Day I got to meet Axelsons mother who was at the ceremony
Definitely need to watch Fury
that movie is aweful
This is facts! Loved shia part!
Also highly recommended looking into his rescue. They had special forces leaving base in stolen trucks trying to find them also the helicopter that picked him up had to crash land in the side of a mountain to get to him. Honestly could make 3 more movies, he was also held hostage by the taliban for 24 hrs
my dad is a SEAL, served and fought in vietnam, the training hasnt changed and when he watched it brought back so many memories at the beginning it took us like 30 minutes just to get to the actual acting, he had to keep pausing
...Your dad is 70+ years old?!
@@ib3scope uh no, he served from from 74-75 at 20 years old. He's 66 years old this year and idk why you would be surprised that someone has an old parent? like what you think parents stop aging or something? wtf?
@@ib3scope also once a seal always a seal so even if someone is done with their service they'll always be a seal because its an ELITE unit that very few are a part of. same as a marine. once a marine, always a marine.
@@prettymuchbangtan Oh, no; I never intended for that question to produce any discomfort or feelings of my potentially disrespecting you--- I come from a multi-generational military family, as well-- with cousins in 1/75 Ranger Battalion recently returned from Syria. I saw your profile avi and was cross-referencing that age of most Bangtan fans (they have fans of all ages, of course, but their western marketing demographic is people between their mid-teens and late twenties/early-thirties) to the period in which the vietnam war occured, and what age a male serving in that area would be, today! So, I ,perhaps, erroneously concluded that either you're the youngest in a family of older siblings, born between the mid-eighties through the 90s. OR, your parents were slightly-older than average mid 30s-40s, when you were conceived. :-)
Crazy thing is as soon as marcus recovered he redeployed remadi, also when it shows ax get hit in the head he actually to a shot to the face and was completely blind but he had his buddies point him in the direction to shoot
I love this channel. Just wish you were allowed to show the entire thing but that’s a copyright issue, nothing you can do about it. Your commentary is just so real/raw and full of emotion. You get so into it that I get fired up myself, lol.
Hey man, love what you do. Thank you very much. Ima subscriber and very happy to be. Keep it up dog
devin G!!! your the truth man. love your reactions
Marcus has gone back to visit that guy that pulled him outta the water a few times. I think he brought him to Texas to visit too. I know other people have mentioned it but i highly highly recommend the book. This was the biggest loss in SEAL history. I forget the number of SEALs and Marines on the helo that got shot down. But yeah, if you like to read check out the book.
This film had fantastic stunt work. I think it’s way past time for the Oscars to start honoring the stunt performers. Their work can be dangerous and they work hard and they add so much realism to movies.

I really hope some of these are on your list. If you are a fan of Edward Norton, Samuel L Jackson, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Brad Pitt, Martin Lawrence, Keanu Reeves, Matthew McConaughey
, Chris Tucker, Nicolas Cage, Lawrence Fishburne, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ving Rhaymes then you'll love these movies.
D: "Camouflage.... they could be right in front of you and you ain't gonna see 'em"
Afghan Kid: "Hold my goat!"
It hurts so much when our soldiers get disrespected by our own people. People that have no clue of the sacrifices our soldiers make. Like in this situation where maybe it could have been avoided with killing the goat herders they did the right thing. Much respect from 🇬🇧
"Pashtunwali" is the term for why those villagers helped him. They believe all people are deserving of being offered help if its needed, regardless of what side they're on. Real story, you (maybe?) missed the closing scene where it shows after being rescued and recovering, he was able to visit that village and the family again to thank them.
Marcus Luttrell is actually in this movie, he's the dude in the beanie and sunglasses at the table after the little footage they have at the beginning
They used to play this on my boat when I was in the navy, and boy watching frogmen do their business got everyone so hyped!
Luttrell has said that he has no idea what happened to Axel, but when they found him, every magazine was empty. He fought till the end
The smile you got when will Patton spoke the creed says it all man. This movie is amazing. If you dont get emotional and feel some type of way when it’s going then you have no soul.
If you haven’t watched mile 22 or we were soldiers you should check them out
Marcus is still friends with Afghan that helped. He comes to visit at his ranch in Texas and stays at Marcus's house.
@Sahir Damani first off I said he visits him in Texas and not that he supports him. Also, where is your proof? Last I check Marcus was trying to help him and his family come to America.
i love watching your videos please keep up the great work.
Love watching you man, keep them coming!
