INSIDE THE GREEN BERETS

- In a remote outpost in south-central Afghanistan, 24 Americans work to ‘pacify’ a hostile river valley the size of Rhode Island.
They are Green Berets: U.S. Army Special Forces charged with battling the Taliban and Al Qaeda while winning the hearts and minds of locals who often see the Americans as simply the latest of a string of invaders dating back centuries.
The Pentagon normally limits media embeds with Navy SEALs and Green Berets to 48-hours. The Hoggard team was given 10 days in the combat zone to chronicle the lives of these war-hardened Special Force troopers.
But in the dead of night, on a distant Afghan ridge, the trip is cut brutally short, leaving 8 Green Berets and two of our film crew dead or wounded in the worst mass casualty event to date for Special Forces in Afghanistan.
30 years old and the captain in charge of a contingent of Green Berets. What an intense responsibility. So many 30 year olds nowadays still live with mom and have the maturity of a 15 year old
30 years old captain of green berets that needs to be respected really Thanks for serving the country
Rest in peace to those brave men.
korean-american soldier
when you see tough guys like them weeping, you get sense how hard it is when your brother in arms dies at your sight
seeing those men standing next to that casket really hit home. too often are soldiers depicted as nothing more than mindless drones with a gun and people forget that in the end they are still only human. they feel pain, they feel guilt, they feel emotions that are only capable in combat that most of us will never come to understand or have to cope with ourselves. i shed a tear with them today for a man i never knew. thank you to all that have served and those that will serve. i will be joining all of you very soon.
You really gotta admire a guy like the sergant medic. How many cats do you know that would leave a multi million dollar company to fight a war.
"So uh...if we get blow'd up we get blow'd up....if we don't we don't."
The most heart breaking scenario is when at the end of the video there will be some guys missing from the beginning of the video. Staring at a photo with all of your guys together smiling can make you smile but knowing that some of them in photo are gone can be a very hard feeling to overcome.
Seeing that Humvee blown up at
Green berets are such a unique sort of people because they understand the true essence of SF ,they are intelligent ,well organised,calm and (most surprisingly for a elite soldiers like them) are humble! -not pursuing after fame and glory like much of the Seals...they can switch between a peaceful negotiator to a capable soldier in moments which I think is very impressive.
30 years old, successful with a nice paying job and a degree... He chooses to be a green beret instead. Wow. That is the definition of a green beret. Not just brute, not just muscle, but highly intelligent. Remarkable.
May God bless all who have gave the ultimate sacrifice.
I was a grunt in the Marine Corps more than a few years ago, and watching these guys work- damn, they are hard chargers. And these guys aren’t doing it like the line companies where you’re surrounded by 17-21 year olds, you’ve got guys who are young in civilian years and prime in military years who are bringing a lot of experience with them. It’s really amazing watching a small unit operating so tight. There are only a couple of other sections of two other branches that operate this high speed. (SEALs, Force Recon/MARSOC,etc) These guys are on point and they know how to think.
RIP to the men who died.
I finished watching this documentary 15 minutes ago, have tears in my eyes, trying to find the words to express my heart ache over the lost lives but I just can't. I'm just one person, but I'll never forget them.
War is horrible, no matter on which side you are.
Man is that heartbreaking, brings tears to my eyes when you see them paying respects....truly some of the greatest men and women America has to offer
Wow! a truly humbling experience. These guys redefine courage, honour and dignity. God bless you all for your endless work
Man. Green Beret really really have it rough. It’s their responsibility to bring stability to the entire region, almost an impossible task if not impossible, outright. So much love, admiration and respect to those men and women
