who's here after The Outpost movie. Truly Inspired.
Guilty your honour
Inspired and shook. We truly take our daily lives for granted.
Oh yeah, Romesha had his stuff wired tight and knew what to do. A Real Soldier!
I'm in Australia and saw it twice at the cinema. Sad that most of the world didn't get that opportunity. Incredible film, incredible story, incredible bravery.
Amazingly well done movie. Facts checked out really well. Director did a fantastic job portraying the reality.
During the applause after receiving the Medal of Honor you can see, that he dosen't give a shit about that medal but just would want to have his friends and comerads back. What a man and warrior. just did what he thought necessary to save as much of his men possibly.
@@dvnking Do you know the service history of the person reading the citation before they got assigned to DC?
How did you learn to be psychic??
@@CuttySobz he explains it in one of his interviews, said he felt anger at that moment and in his eyes did nothing more or less then the other 52 man in the outpost.
here because i just watched outpost... My Goodness.. that was intense.
Me too im glad the got out of that place. God bless the USA
That commander who had the idea to place them there needs to go to jail!!!
@@DisHappah jail?
@@JoshSmith-uq9mf what were you doing in the first place?
the pain so visible on his face is heartbreaking. He is reliving that day.
For some of us who were kids that saw many heroic military actions as "glorious", it wouldn't be hard to understand how the look of obvious pain and burden of that man in the chair (SSgt Romesha) shows, would look back, wishing that they would never wish the burdens that come with such glory to be bestowed on any other human being. Though deserving of the highest award, comes with a price that cannot be paid, to him. Although it's easy for me to say that SSgt Romesha is a hero, no matter how many people say it, or how we say it, this man will live the rest of his life believing that he is undeserving, rather wishing the award be given to his brothers who are no longer with us.
May God bless former SSgt. Romesha, his former unit, and all of our soldiers.
You can see the pain in his eyes.
God bless.
I'm Crying...Bless those Soldiers Hearts !
I’m here to show my respects
This man made me proud
God bless him and his family
The Outpost brought me here. Wow this dude can really lead the team despite all odds! BRAVO!!!
I want to say something, but my brain can't express what my heart feels.
I know. I want to say something as well but I can't find the words.
Heartbreaking sounds good 😢
You were just doing your job and for that I am proud to call myself an American. For the men and women who serve not only their country but who will put themselves at risk and who given everything for their fellow soldiers. This country can never thank you enough. God Bless you and all the members of our arm forces.
poor guy you can see the pain all over his face when Obama put the medal around his neck and were clapping
That movie felt so real....because it was!
Thank you for service 🙏
Sergeant clint romesha ,,,,love from India after watching outpost movie,,,,,u did a great job,,
You are incredible and a hero in every way and you have paid the ultimate sacrifice and you wear it deep in your heart may you be blessed till the end of days ❤️
One of my instructors at whiskey phase at AIT was there at Keating. Matter of fact, he’s one of those present at the ceremony.
What I can't understand is why anyone would ever dislike this, other than being a troll and wanting be one of the 11 that disliked this video. I, myself, am a veteran and know that when the shit hits the fan that the only thing that matters is those standing next to you. I wish I could put into words how those people next to you are closer to you than your own blood family, or how you know they would give their lives to save yours, and vice versa. I wish I could put into words the closeness that pulls people together from different walks of life. People you don't necessarily agree with but through your interactions with them you would give your life to protect, even if you feel they are stupid. You can't understand unless you have been through it. Nothing can put it into words, but then it isn't for everyone else. It is for those next to you.
Sometimes people dislike things by accident im sure no one who would actively seek out this video would dislike it.
Absolute respect.
When they couldn't push no more he said yes we can.
I can't believe what there team was faced with and against the odds reclaimed there fallen soldiers.
I can only admire them from afar as I will never understand what they must feel. And had felt when retrieving there fallen. God bless them and all the soldiers that fought for there county and ours.
Thank you for your service
Here after reading his book Red Platoon. Brutally honest account of his experiences that day.
thankyou CLint. my hero
@FLOMO SAPIAN
Likewise, we appreciate and respect our military.
How can the Army leadership establish "indefensible outposts" and put our soldiers in harm's way? As an Army veteran, I am totally outraged... but am truly proud of our soldiers who, without a bit of reservation, fought and defended our principle.
If the children in the audience are not his, do not bring them to someone's commemoration and let them cry through it, this is a sacred ritual and demands silence and respect. God bless you staff sergeant.
You're an Idiot... First, your grammar is awful. Second, it's medals* not metals. Third, the Medal of Honor is definitely a sacred honor... It offers a special pension pay, 10% increase in retired pay, and a child of a recipient will be instantly admitted to any United States Military Academy if qualified. Many other medals are worthless, but this can not be said about the MoH. Don't talk shit unless you know what you're talking about.
@Roger Clemons you’re an idiot. There is no motivation to get a Medal of Honor. Almost everyone to whom it is awarded gets it posthumously. Living awardees are rare, because it requires complete lack of concern for one’s own life and giving all for your comrades in arms. Most soldiers, btw don’t give a squat about any award they get.
Read SSG Romesha's book Red Platoon. A battle like no other I've heard of before.
The military’s greatest honor, is never not accompanied by tremendous loss, heartache, and lives lost. The utmost respect, more than anything in this world to all those who have received this medal, but I pray for the day when we don’t have to award this medal anymore. May we all find peace someday
Respect 🇺🇸 2/38 Cav Lrs
I'm the dude with the rad haircut under the George Washington painting
Truly intense. Just imagine where you we're, what you we're doing at the time of that fire fight. Wow!! Those guys are baddazz!!🎉
America!!
Spine chilling courage from Clint and all the guys involved. And nice to have a mentally stable non-genius POTUS with very nice description of events awarding the Medal of Honor.
HOOAH!
A real representative of this country
NOTICE to ALL AMERICAN GENERALS & ADMIRALS:
NO MORE defending the indefensible.
God Bless the heroes.
God Bless all American Warriors.
God Bless America.
Wish the government paid our military more. Made it more worth the fighting. These men deserves millions for their bravery. They didn’t ask to fight that war, but without volunteers, everyone would get drafted.
There's no pay scale for valor or honor. You either have it inside you, or you don't. Nobody ever jumped on a grenade for a million dollars, but many have just to save their brothers.
@@SGobuck they should still be paid on their bravery they should definitely make more than just 30,000 a year sure it's text free but I just don't think all these celebrities and athletes deserve millions and millions.
A real American here! 💯
My first year in the Army was in 1993. I served under the last of the 25 year Vietnam guys. I was lucky to help retire out 2 MOH guys. One was very humble and did not like the attention. The other guy was a complete asshole and made sure you knew he earned it and treated everyone around him like shit. Was banned from making speeches. Nice video.
Wtf happened at 00:38 “Red Platoon” brought me here. Ty Sgt
Yeah you know he answered for that later...
God bless America!!!
Hooah C/2Lt David Calloway Jr
David calloway Jr Thank you for your service
Holy shit clint with no beard is weird for me! Like he looks really young!
way to go buddy
I am an Indian and I love USA god blessed you
Any celebrity that refuses to stand for the anthem and flag needs to go to a country like Afghanistan where there are tali and for a week..
I am canadian and salute this man for his bravery.
ok
I wasn't even aware of this until the RUclips algorithm showed me the battle on a computer simulation, LAST NIGHT
good guy
Love him or not, 1 thing Obama did exceptionally well was to turn and applaud directly to the medal recipient after putting it on. Classy
So so different to a VC award ceremony.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
CLINT IS SUFFERING1
I love the USA troops
Give the man 10 million dollars how much would someone get in the pawn shop for that medal
Next time established out post in the high ground or detachment like her in philippine military like marines and army ranger.
He’s got a lot of control looking at the command staff prob guilty of the situation they where put in
I just watched the Medal of Honor episode and it was crazy. But I noticed in the picture at the end Michelle Obama was standing in front of Barack. Is it just me or is that out of order
0:37 that was a little off key
little flat for sure, but thems are the breaks of a live performance. Keep on playing like you nailed every note.
Me Miss a note? impossible.
This CMH story like so many others show the depth of love not hate , what people will do for each other, not necessarily against others.
I wish he’d said “Let’s take this bitch back”.
The blood of these Brave Men ........is on the Fools who sent them there........is it not..........??????..........
Soooo sad. This is why I will never ever kneel to our anthem or our flag. Ever.
Standing tall with my hand on my heart will be how I will respond d. Only.
he blinks allot xD
Anyone else notice when Obama, the muslim President, smiled when they read off from the citation for the MOH that the generator Clint Romesha was firing from was hit by an RPG to stop his counter attack?
Wtf is wrong with you? You Racist Pos. He was smiling at the audience.
Just admit that you’re racist
He's black not Muslim
Don’t be obnoxious. He’s smiling at the small child who is actually Romesha’s kid.
