I love how they just casually call each other to give death threats
Typical Tuesday in Afghanistan.
It's called Netiquette.
As goofy as it seems, I can assure you this is accurate. 😆
@@scrimshaw7470 I’ve heard of this stuff before. I believe it since we humans like to be assholes lol
epic trolling
Fun fact: the Green Berets on this OP called in so much ordnance that missed their targets that they were forced to have an AirForce Combat Controller attached to them to call in future air strikes.
i believe it
I guess we're going to forget about the Combat Controller that was actually there, but okay.
because 'Murica
Yeah thats what happens when you use a six fucking digit grid lol
@@ckriegz360 it was an 8 digit grid not 6 plus an 8 digit gets you within 10 meters of an objective especially for fire missions and if you don't have the exact coordinates for where you want something dropped it won't hit and this was very early on so I'm assuming they didn't have established grids of Afghanistan
Never underestimate your enemy's ability to avoid cover at all costs and stand out in the open for you to shoot them
-Sun Tzu
We were sort of drunk, 12 of us playing golf. As the last group came up the 18th, 8 of us stood together around the hole. Not one of the four shots landed near us. Dam scary but we laughed so hard after each one hit.
Bro is that really by sun tzu quote there’s no way shoot them? Yeah right they had ak47’s in ancient china
@@Eduardo-by1mz they had crossbows and archers
@@Eduardo-by1mz Woosh
I think he meant "I'll never understand".
Viet Nam vet here. Not even close to being realistic. In the movie you see about 20 gasoline bombs going off, but the Buff carried 108, 500 lb bombs. Leveled a path up to 1/2 mile wide and at least a mile long. Real bomb missions were a sight to behold!
I think this era's BUFF used JDAMs so the plane could loiter and drop one bomb at at time--but of course, could the correct coordinates get given? THAT'S the question.
True fact...America lost the war in Vietnam. Lost to a band of backward peasants.
@@lordlucan3706 America won every battle. The war was lost at home in the White House who was directing the war from the basement. And the guys doing so were non military college idiots.
@@lordlucan3706 Do you honestly believe the US lost the war in Vietnam to a band of backward peasants dressed in black pajamas and straw sandals? Get yourself a decent history book. Those guys were backed and supported by the professional North Vietnamese Army which was abundantly supplied by Communist China and the Soviet Union. To believe that the US lost the war in Vietnam against some backward peasants would be the same as suggesting that the Soviet Union lost the war in Afghanistan against a bunch of turban-wearing mountain dwellers. Who do you think supplied those guys with Stinger MANPADS and other stuff to beat the Red Army?
@@tomb7942 The USA got played and hustled at very turn in Vietnam. Your soldiers were brave and gave all, your politicians sucked. Yet, at the end of the day you still lost to peasant's.
I worked on crypto equipment in Vietnam that was used to call OFF a B52 strike (Arc Light) when it was determined that there were friendly troops in the area at the last minute. Needless to say, it was our highest priority circuit.
I experienced a B52 strike from about 5 clicks away. It's been 48 years since it happened, and I can still feel it. I've got to say it's nothing like this movie. My brain envisioned a wheel of death a mile in diameter, and everything that it rolled over was instantly pulverized. It was life-changing.
Carpet bombing was beyond reason. Truly the MOAB spread out. Agree?
Amazing.
Yup!
im sure it depends on what ordanance their droping, im just a simple grunt so dont get mad if im wrong haha
I don't get it. Why did he move in closer? Couldn't he adjust from where he was? He had eyes on. And then he practically dropped it on his own position. Anyone?
For anyone disapointed with the scene, the problem in those scenarios is that the effect of those kind of weapons HAVE to be visually nerfed. If they were to accurately depict a B-52 full payload drop, it would be ridiculous to think the bad guys could survive it...
And also I doubt any movie board in the world would allow to be released.... Most people have no idea how devasting such a strike would be..
And I guess we expect munitions to look like drums of heating oil going off...
@@dlkramer88 Have you ever seen the after affects of a Daisy Cutter?
@@ZATennisFan Yes, cool videos - but not a C-130 in this case! And still not the Hollywood greasy-looking fuel oil explosions.
@@ZATennisFanHeard the same about gun camera footage from Desert Storm. The claim was that if it aired on US TV, of Iraquis being chopped up by the copter guns, we would never get approval for being in another war. -Found it an off the wall claim to make at the time..
I love how they had to be at shooting range to call in the airforce
This really does look like an exceptionally dumb film.
Not quite right! Our team leader (the Cpt.) moved in to get a better sighting. Then, some of the Taliban came up to his new overview position and tried to kill him. Members of the Captain's unit then rallied and providing "covering fire" until the Cpt. could call in the better coordinates for the B-52 strike! Always tough to get the first volley of heavy fire power units exactly "on target" . Adjustments usually have to be made; quickly and accurately, though. Some FAO's are better at doing that than others. Similar to "aiming and hitting" a golf ball toward the next hole!
@@richardeschallert8526I think that is why we started to see a lot more AFSOC on missions of that nature. Their ability to accurately call in fire is unparalleled. Not to mention, the A-10 was always on standby as well. That planes capabilities so low to the deck are scary/legendary.
Just a rich spoiled brat behaviour 🤡
@@tomkandywell it is a movie
That's one hell of a captain. He's simultaneously the OIC, Team Sergeant and JTAC all wrapped into one.
He had to be. He had to set a good example for his men, and we were way too early into the war. I wonder how much of the story is true…I do know that every Operator on that team survived.
Yeah no one's wearing helmet, just living the moment.
no ear pro no eye pro no high cut kevlars lol
@@TheInfantry98 as I recall the members of the ODA were wearing early "Plate Carriers" and "skater" Pro-Tek helmets.
Movies like this they don't wear helmets so the audience can identify characters/actors.
Blackhawk Down is a rare movie where the actors have appropriate haircuts, wear uniforms and helmets, even though it can be difficult to tell many characters apart.
Helmets don't stop bullets only shrapnel
Just playing devil’s advocate, but I swear I remember an interview with some special forces guy where this came up and his answer was basically “It’s weight that you could have allocated to carrying more vital supplies, and it can’t stop a bullet, so might as well leave it and bring some extra rations/batteries/medical supplies/magazines/etc.”
Granted, that was one guy, and he was special forces, not normal infantry. But if you’re regularly going to be out of contact with friendly supply lines and your job is more being a super-sneaky guy vs a standard grunt, I think it’s a fairly valid opinion.
@@darthsidious8926 it does stop bullet , depending on the helmet protection level , but being hit a by a bullet to the head and survived would still leave you some facture
That’s just one Stratofortress can not even imagine how much destruction a fleet could do.
Still nowhere near the amount of lead an Atlanta class CL or an Iowa class BB could drop to a poor target
@@Braindamagedpotato yeah an Iowa class also can’t fly 30000 feet in the air
@@DemetriusJamal-he1uy Yamato could tho
@@Braindamagedpotato mhm
@@DemetriusJamal-he1uy fun fact did you know that of the 10 aircraft the yamato shot down, 7 of them were from the magazine detonation. Making the yamato the least cost effective kamikaze
Looks like we still need the A10 Thunderbolt
"Brrrrrrrrrttttt"
Was there bases close enough to launch A-10s? Early in the War in Afghanistan there wasn’t bases to launch A-10s. The fighters would have to be dragged over there with tankers. B-52s and B-1s can fly much further before needing to hit a tanker and once over the Afghani airspace they could stay there much longer. The navy could provide protection for the buffs and bones with tomcats and hornets, but they would have to hit a lot tankers.
@@Tustyshellback2010 not sure when the A 10 arrived in Afghanistan but I think that it was not early in the war. But what you say makes sense and I don’t remember if Pakistan allowed Us planes on their soil or not
Government stop providinding
I'm pretty sure the heavy bombers also have laser guided, this was using non-guided so the bombs missed, besides a viper or rino with a cas setup could have done the same thing
Whoever it was who requested a 12 Strong clip in the previous upload
Thanks
I remember watching a flight of 3 B52s during Desert Storm. They must have been 40,000 feet. They flew over, turned around, and then were half way back when I saw flashes over the horizon. A few seconds later I felt the earthquake. A few days later we moved into that area and I'm just glad that I wasn't there when it rained down. Nothing at all like what they show in this movie.
Debriefing various members of the Republican Guard after Desert Storm, they were asked what weapon they most feared. The B-52. But ... your position was never hit by B-52s. No, but I saw one that was.
This is the plane which invented the term "carpet bombing."
@@Meower68 Though the term "carpet bombing" was used over 80 years prior in the First and Second World Wars, you could say the B-52 perfected the art of it with five times less the amount of planes, still making heavy damage.
@@Meower68right as in scorched earth. Not precision but persistent and lots of it.
You say it was nothing like seen in the movie. I agree. I try to explain to civilians the difference in real life and movies. Most people have watched so many movies and played war type video games that they get a warped idea of the actual power from them. I'll tell folks that a grenade is NOTHING like HALO or COD. That joker is a miniature bomb!! And getting shot isn't a joke. I work with a guy who's brother accidentally shot him while hunting as kids. He's an old man now. And sometimes out of nowhere he'll just buckle in pain. He got shot somewhere around his hip and the nerves are so messed up that to this day they still cause him pain.

Just once I'd like to see a correctly called-in airstrike in a movie...
We Were Soldiers....well mostly correctly called.
then your characters dont have anything to do
Better get a JTAC to call it in then.
We were soldiers is the closest we will get. Sadly so many things innacurate. All these movies would have the people calling in CAS put on the JTAC black book for fucking up.
Right?! No map marker called out
An A10 in that valley would have turned the enemy into dust.
It was done with unguided bombs besides... Not enough material on an A-10 to turn all those armored vehicles into dust too.

@@madhurjyabezbaruah5703 12 strong its on Netflix i think
The part from 0:37-0:42 gives me goosebumps when talking to him on that walkie talkie. Love the B-52 as well. Mean machine. 👍
Fun fact. A couple B52's with good targeting info can level small hills and mountains. In Vietnam Soldiers would report of whole hills and small mountains (likely just large hills) being leveled. I believed they used B-52s in the Afghan conflict to literally cave in the large extensive tunnel networks that was in the mountains of afghanistain.
Tunnel networks? For facks sakes do you still believe in that facking bullshit? Wake the fack up!
BS. That is where MOAB and penetrators come in. Rocks don't move a lot when hit with explosives.
Bombs do not level hills ...no they dont...they make holes i them...
I call bullshit.
Level everything ON the hill. Sure. Leave some craters too. But it isn't "leveling" a hill. Unless we're talking 10' tall hills here. Then maybe.
It is one thing the Air Force got its money's worth out of, it is the B-52
A10 was definitely worth the money invested. It has been operating for decades. The F-15 is a success as well.
@@ns7353 a10 is garbage. New generation aircraft shit on its little burp gun
@@NoSaysJo gotta agree
@@ns7353 the A-10 is only effective in an environment where the only AA the enemy has is an unguided rocket launcher.
They said it's not going to be retired until 2050
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you care nothing about casualties. Great video. I wonder how accurate the B-52 strike scene really was?
The B-52 is capable of precision strikes but apparently it wasn’t using precision guided munitions here.
@@danielwalmsley1824 They used a six digit grid which is at best within 100m (which was clearly incorrect). Go back ten years it'd be a GBU with JDAM and good within 1 meter, leveling everything with GPS coordiantes. I know it's a movie but it hurts to watch, I miss band of brothers.
Horribly inaccurate. There are so many things wrong.... B52s aren't used to drop strikes, faster more responsive jets are. They don't drop dump bombs... this ain't WW2. We have bombs that can glide dozens of miles and hit a coordinate with a precision of a few feet of error. Also they're already very close to the enemies to get a good coordinate. Going closer was dumb, you either point right at a tank from 2 miles or 1.5... it's also a movie so we can't take it too seriously lol.
you mean WW1 soldiers moving forward on trenches while their artillery fire is moving with them?
@@xxmlgguyxx1167 in theory that would work though, it’s called a creeping barrage. You move with the artillery but it has to be precisely timed...
"i told you, you donkeys". gets me everytime 😆
“AMELIKA FAKA YEW!!!”
😂
😂 I'm done ,
Fair enough man…they DO hate em
lol
Hi god, we meet again
*Their Outpost get bombed*
"See? i told you, you donkeys!" 😏
I didn’t even know this existed but I like it, And I like your war content
This is not his war content this is a movie don’t get it mixed up
I never really thought about how high up those bombers fly. Like imagine thinking you see a passenger airliner flying overhead and then out of almost no where bombs start falling around you. OR on the flip side imagine being shot out of the air that high up.
Idk that just makes it seem even more terrifying to me.
The old Buff can actually PRECISION DROP from 50,000 feet and those bombs would be in a chain with a little variance left to right, NOT scattered from hell to breakfast like they show here.
I had a relative in Vietnam in a small plane flying low jamming radio and they saw a Palm Tree appear in the air in front of them. Had turned the combat news off on the radio and not realised they were flying under a B-52 run and they moved out of there very quickly.
@@MrFarmountain He would have been briefed about a -52 mission. Those were not spur-of-the-moment things. That's what happens when you miss staff meetings, lol.
Not too sure - he was on an Australian mission - they were supposed to keep that particular radio channel on so that they knew what was happening in their area. Someone got sick of it and switched to something else. I think they didn't miss that briefing again haha.
@@MrFarmountain Hmmmm. I was USAF for 32 years and flew the F-15E for 18 of those years. It would be very unusual for pilots to fly in actual war zones without checking for current missions before taking off. Crew chiefs would definitely listen and very subtly 'brief' their pilot about combat conditions. Not saying this didn't happen, mind you, just saying that it would be highly unusual......but then again, Aussie. That says it all. 🙂
That should've been way more bombs and destruction if it was a B52. A10 is still more convenient tho
10 2,000 pound GPS's would have decimated the area. Game Over
That depends on how much munitions were released per run. Too early in the war for A-10s.
They were dropping enough ordinance to take them out not erase them from existence. Didn’t wanna waste the whole payload on one target.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"How could you miss?"
"He moved"
They must have been looking down the wrong bit
Hold on, he gets his grid co-ordinates wrong from an observation point about 1 mile away, and to correct them has to get within 50m of the enemy? Terrible map skills there super special forces guy.
Notice the US Soldier at 3:09 lowering his weapon as an ally passed through his sight.
I noticed that too
Well I believe every trained soldier will do that, it's a basic knowledge
Attention to detail or the guy actually had muzzle discipline. Either way, a POB is required.
@@thenasiudk1337 for the military yes, but not Hollywood so it’s nice to see movies get little things like that right
@@MellowGrunt10 More than likely the casting call wanted veterans. When the "army" is all actors, it always looks so cringe and fake.
1:00
The deadly version of an airliner's contrails.
the scariest thing you can see in the sky.
Having to move closer to get coordinates. Jesus, is this 1950 or the 2000s ?
Well considering this movie took place right after 9/11 lol
They don't have laser designators
@@thenasiudk1337 so? You don’t need them because they aren’t used laser guided bombs.
@@thenasiudk1337 in the book, the situation this scene is depicting, they did have a Laser Designator. The Afghan leader had strict instructions to keep the USA ODA personnel out of small arms range. Initially he kept them beyond effective range of their Laser Designator too.
The coalition of Afghan leaders was concerned about the USA being casualty adverse (of US personnel). The Afghans wanted US weapons, equipment, and $$$$$ More than killing lots of Taliban (expecting a decades long conflict; they had been fighting since 1989 against the Taliban).
The B52 was dropping JDAMs, one at a time.
The first JDAM missed by about 500 meters. The ODA wasn't happy. The Afghan leader and his men, knowing the bomb came from the USA, figured getting it in the correct valley was practically a Miracle!
Tangible Proof the USA was in fact supporting the ODA with Firepower.
Amazingly, the Taliban came out to inspect the Bomb Crater. They called back on the Radio, they Refused to believe it was a bomb that came from a Plane. Taliban thought it was a Trick, that the Northern Alliance (Afghans supporting USA) had buried explosives the night before as deception that the USA would send bombers or missiles...
The Second JDAM blew up more than 100 and the Taliban retreated to a town more than 50km away.
2 bombs and the enemy Fleeing was deemed Unbelievable, so this, and the following scenes were supposed to be "more believable"...
@Devyan Utsav Operational Detachment Aka a Green Beret A team
One of the most badass scenes to be filmed. You don't see the B-52 in film much
Too bad it was just a bad CGI model.
@@perriwenplays9215 They got the sound pretty accurate, though.
Maybe because its just crap holywood fiction
You gotta watch more film.
I highly suggest you watch the 1990 HBO's movie "By Dawn's Early Light".
i read this as 12 B52s making a bombing run, I'm like damn, 12 bombers for a few terrorists?
that would level a fucking city
My guess is that Apaches and A-10s were not available either one could have done the job
I thought in the first year of fighting the Taliban still had control of a national "army" (such as it was) --they were still trying to mop up the Northern Alliance, so they had all the old regime's tanks, APC, artillery etc. Being it was mostly Soviet era equipment the gear was easy to use and easy to maintain--the AK principle. As I understood it, there was something like 50 or 60 thousand troops of varying quality (AND I even heard there were tens of thousands of Pakistanis in A'Stan too), and they had no reason to hide or worry about what the Northern Alliance could throw at them.
I'm sure after a few encounters with the B52s, those who survived quickly altered their strategy.
@@nickmitsialis Given Bin Laden chose to hide out in Pakistan it's a given there were Pakistanis helping the Taliban and fighting the coalition forces. There are tribes that straddle the border of both countries.
@@damionkeeling3103 agree with all you say--the NW Frontier is a pretty uncontrolled region; The impression I got was that non tribal Pakistani soldiers were sent to support the fight against Northern Alliance, though clearly I MIGHT well be wrong.
This back & forth between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance is spot on. They used the same unencrypted 3 channel Motorola radios.
As a 13F in the army.....this was fucking brutal to watch😭🤣
You f'ed up 13 times? 😂🤣😅😆😁😄😃😀 just kidding
Lmao if they had any arty in range, it would have been game fucking over bro lol. Fire for effect!
This whole movie was pretty cringe tbh

@@osamabinladen824 lol what?
In WW2 France, our guys had huge orange arrows that they would lay out, pointing to Gerry. It made things easier for the Jugs.
when you ask for a precision strike and you end up with a carpet bombing 😅
They didn't get precise coordinates, they didn't perform carpet bomb, they get swiping bomb, that they hope that 1 or 2 will hit the target.
Carpet bomb is all in one bombing. Every living thing would turn into dust.
That was not a carpet bombing. Maybe that was a carpet bombing ordered from WISH.......

It’s amazing how the first drops each bomb was landing 500’+ from one another if not further. But in the “danger close” drop they were landing 50’ or closer 🤦🏻♂️
I'm still confused how moving closer made them call coordinates better.....other than making a movie, isnt it just a game of battleship. Miss until you hit
@@griznatle because in real life these green berets weren’t trained properly on air strikes is what I heard. They had to have someone attached to their group from too many missed air strikes. Just what I read.
They spread bombs all over the valley and then we see in binoculars that one bomb landed like 100m away. With that level of precision, just eyeball it
0:25 here she comes.
Around 100 years in service, and still giving taliban a bad day, absolutely incredible.

? gas them to their Graves FAAAARTTTT
They obviously did not watch any film footage of a B-52 strike from the Vietnam war before filming this scene.
So he had to get closer to get better coordinates? That's hilariously dumb
That really happened. That was military technology back then.
B-52 is always the best!!
I had a "horse soldier" as a neighbor in Ft Liberty back in 2002,an E-6,18D..the coolest enlisted I could had hope for as my vecino!
Never to be forgotten, a modern Golden Fail movie award winner forgotten to be invited to its ceremony.
I remember Armor Officer Basic, when were were taught to call in fire by adjusting REAL 155 rounds. One landed 300 meters from us, and it left a DEFINITE impression.
No way a bomb lands on the other side of a rock and you aren't turned into pink mist.
A long time ago I witnessed a B52 or maybe more than one B52 drop on a VC held area. Nobody had to run down a stupid ass hill and then back up to get coordinates that's for sure. It was at night and we were about a mile out, lit the sky up like a big thunder storm and you could feel it in the ground.
Did your hear "Fortunate Son " playing in backround....very overused in Nam soundtrack.
JDAMs.
I never realized the pilots were also farmers. Casually dropping freedom tactical seeds wherever they go.
Love it.
Michael Pena is a great supporting character in alot of movies. Just watched Fury, now i see this clip. 😆 Very good actor tho, really like him. In everything from Ant-Man to war movies.
He's also good in Shooter.
Fact: B 52 is 70+ Years old
Whenever I see this man, he's always dropping the hammer...
The humiliation US and its Westren allies faced in Afghanistan can not be reduced by such movies
My dad was a FAC (Forward Air Controller) in Afghanistan. This is basically what he did.
you don't need new coordinates after rounds splash. you know which direction your looking. all you gotta do is adjust. add/subtract/left/right however many meters, fire for effect
I like how the guy tells the other guy that called in the co-ordinates he is 'danger close'
Chris is definitely the best action movie actor
If you're calling in an 8-digit grid and miss with that much terrain to properly determine the grid, I don't think getting closer will help. Maybe get a new map, or get an enlisted troop to read it for you.
"Get a new map" I did not know this was a movie clip from Tommy Boy?
It's so accurate, it's always hit the ground
I like when he says I didn't come here to play around & moves in
Whoever made this scene, clearly has never seen a B-52's bombing.
Afghanistan is the graveyard of great empires
Why do Hollywood always wants a gun to fire full auto on long distance you know that single fire is much more accurate and decrease much recoil ...

Would have made more sense to use a few gbu 38s
Fun fact: It's not a B-52 Bomber, it's B1B Lancer..
I like how the 556 with no suppressors sound like a mp5 with suppressors
The ODA Teams didn’t have some gear to make more effective drops. Things are different now. The B-1B could drop more ordnance than the B-52Hs.
This is actually false😌
@@Jordan_Incognito , I worked on both the BUFF and the BONE. The BONE can drop more ordnance. The B-52D models (Big Belly) had the largest payload of the BUFF variants. The B-52Hs have a smaller bomb bay. The external stores pylons on the BUFF are included in the calculation.
@@jeffking8890 I work on them currently. They have mods added to install more in them. The space between the d models and the h models never changed
@@jeffking8890 also, depends on what munitions we loading as well
@@Jordan_Incognito at what Base are you a Loader, 2W1X1? BUFFs still use the MAU-12s. Right? Just do an internet search on B-52D & “Big Belly” modification.

A lot of people talking about A10s. There were no A10s in theater at this time. B52s and B1s where flying from state side and Guam if memory serves
Diego Garcia, Guam is around an 11 hour flight from Bagram.
When EVER will learn in hollywood the effect of the speed of sound? It is painful to see every time that far explosions create instant noise far from them.
To think that these things dropped more bombs during the vietnam war than any nation in WW2 did is scary to think about
Source?
@@diesirae8954 i mean you could easily search it up its a widely known fact that the US dropped more bombs in southeast asia than all the allies combined in WW2 General Lemay of the USAF literally said "were gonna bomb them back to the stone age"
One thing about America. We can bomb the hell out of anyone. Go BUFF!
@@diesirae8954 He doesn't need to source anything for you. It is one of the most well known facts of the Vietnam War
Most of that tonnage is 'mud moving'. Block 'The Trail' (the one in Laos that didn't exist) or bomb it to hit the supply depots, base camps and the like=-=the rest was hopefully to tear up the mud of the trail to keep supplies from moving. NVA Engineers bulldozed and shoveled the mud and dirt and craters out of the way so the supply traffic could move again--airforce comes back: rinse and repeat, repeatedly for years.
Imagine if they used the ac-130 lol
✌
That would have worked if the C-130 dropped a Daisy cutter bomb
I saw 2 B-52s drop their loads on the horizon in Vietnam. They came out of Guam. We got notice on my ship, about 20 minutes before the drop. This movie was not 1/10th the destructive power that I saw. I saw twinkling red flashes on the horizon going across a large area about a half mile long. About 45 seconds later, there was a long sound of rolling thunder for about 40 or 45 seconds. A half hour later the dirt and dust that had been kicked up had gone into the sky like dirty dark clouds. It drifted over the ship that I was on, several thousand feet up. It is not something that people forget. It turns the jungle into shredded trees and moon craters. German cities at the end of WWII got the B-52 treatment worse than anyone else did.
An Action Movie. Awesome.
They should have spoken Navajo or Apache or maybe Even Lakota Sioux
Look like pretty small explosions for 500 lb bombs.
3:05 the time when movies recycled scenes has pa… 4:03
Great clip
I still question, where the heck did they get the name Stratofortress from anyways
The strato part comes from the stratosphere which is a layer of the Earth’s sky, and since the plane looks a hell lot like the B-29 super fortress they added fortress, or that’s what I think anyways.
@@jamessfakecommercials.4573 fortress is just a name given to any major US bomber the B-17 FlyingFortress, B-29 SuperFortress and B-52 Stratofortress
@@blackopscw7913 Oh ok.
@@jamessfakecommercials.4573 Your guess with Strato was correct tho
@@jamessfakecommercials.4573 not quite, the plane was originally designed to be a high altitude bomber, then U2 happened so they made it low altitude
omg....it took usa 20 years to install taliban again.....great stratergy....kudos
kya bakavaas hai?
Jtac would be a suuuper cool job.
Is this the movie based on the book horse soldiers?
Who won this war again?
American taxpayers, in any case, no!
In movie, US & his allies fights for freedom and justice;
In reality, US & his puppets escapes for lives and money
Taliban won... America loose
@@osamarehman3120 Pakistan proxies won, Common Afghan lost.
@@psuyog pathetic cope
@@psuyog let me guess you believe America won in Vietnam too
@@iraholden3606 I know US funded Taliban. Even the current Talibani govt is formed by blessings of USA. What I believe is common Afghan is at a loss & that idiot Pakistan is doing it for dollars & short term interest
Bravo 6 bravo 6 this is whiskey three whiskey over
Hated when my Fo would say there coming on danger close..... Love ya Squirl
Good movie in concept but in reality was pretty bad with bad acting
