Restrepo
All right, this is what's going on.
Me, O'Bizzle-- O'Bizzle.
- I got it, l got it, man I'm the narrator.
- O'Bizzle fo' shizzle.
Me, Peebs, and Kim.
Kim, you got something to say?
- Yeah, you got something to say.
- Kim?
You all know tonight
is going to going to be crazy.
Stupid crazy.
What's your sole mission, O'Byrne?
Man, to keep you out of hand.
You can't-- you can't tame the beast.
Peebs, tell them. How do we roll?
Got 'em. Got 'em.
Tune in next time
where we're going to be still loing life
and getting ready to go to war.
- What?
- All right, baby.
- War, Afghanistan, what?
- Say it again, baby, say it again.
- I didn't even sign my passport.
- Baby.
- I didn't even sign my passport.
- We're going to war. We're going to war.
We're going to war. We're going to war.
Roger.
Oh, we're f***ing hit.
- This is an lED, over.
- lED.
- Keep going, keep going! Keep--
- What was that?
- Shots.
- Eight o'clock.
- Get on that gun!
- What are we doing?
Aim for that draw! Right now!
That way.
We gotta get out. We gotta get out of here.
We're getting out!
F***ing motherf***er.
Shot, eight o'clock. 300 meters.
Shot, eight o'clock. 102 meters.
You know what?
When they told me
I was going to the Korengal Valley,
l really didn't, uh, I didn't read
anything up on it. l didn't want to.
I wanted to go in there with an open mind.
The Colonel told me initially
they take fire every single day.
I was like, God, how the hell do you take
fire every single day from somebody?
You got to go out there and go kill
the damn enemy.
Quit being, you know, scared.
Go out there and get 'em.
And the Colonel and I
came up with, you know,
what we thought was going to be
our campaign plan and that, uh,
after two months of being there I would fix
it and that we wouldn't get shot at anymore.
The very first day, l remember coming in,
and one of the pilots and stuff,
and they said, hey,
if you look over there to your left,
uh, that's Pakistan.
You know, and we're like, you know,
we all, okay, that's Pakistan.
And then they're all mountains,
you know, high elevation.
And as you go in elevation,
it starts to get a little bit colder.
And then we go up into the Korengal Valley.
I remember looking out the little bubble
windows on the side, kind of just like this,
because I was right next to the window.
And I could see when the Chinook
had made a hard right turn into the valley.
I was like, holy sh*t.
We're not ready for this.
We flew around for about half- hour,
and you're just looking down there,
and you're like,
this is in the middle of nowhere right now.
You're away from everything.
Honestly, when I first got to the Korengal,
I was like, this is a sh*t hole.
My mindset was like, oh snap,
I'm going to die here.
l remember getting off the bird
and walking up the hill to the hooch.
Hey, Jones, you guys standing up
right there, you're wrong.
Come on, guys, better get moving.
And just sucking...
and thinking what are we doing?
and monkeys were howling,
And l thought they were Taliban.
And I thought, holy sh*t they're close.
Everybody's like,
oh, you're going to the Korengal?
And they feel sorry for you
and everything like that.
I'm like, dude,
it can't be that bad, you know?
I show up there
and you're burning your own feces.
You know, you're living in a tent.
I literally lived in a bunker, you know,
about that high, I couldn't even stand up in.
See bullet holes all rattled into the Hescos
and when you look up, it's like,
I don't even know why I have Hescos here
because they're not going to stop the bullets
that are coming down from the mountains.
So I felt like l was--
I was like fish in a barrel.
They're gathering intel right now,
basically, on how to deal with us,
because they haven't--
there's no really research or intel
because they haven't had to deal with people
like us since World War ll and Vietnam,
you know, dealing with guys that are
coming back from 15-month deployments
with as much fighting,
you know, as we went through.
Hey, go on that ridgeline, f***ing now!
Hey, roger, I'm up here by OP four.
We're scanning and if we have to,
we'll move into contact.
I got myself, Riegel, and Thomas over here.
Roger, over.
Hey, I'm about to find this bastard,
and I'm going to kill him, over.
Okay, roger.
So it's coming from 1705 and 00.
We should be firing on those here
right now, break.
Hang it!
Fire! Firing!
The Korengal Outpost is at the 6-3 gridline,
and then the 6-2 gridline--
the insurgency has, like, drawn
this imaginary line in the sand there,
and every time the guys
come out of Firebase Phoenix
and they cross the 6-2 gridline,
I mean, like, no sh*t, every time they cross
the 6-2 gridline, they get in contact.
So I want to extend the security bubble,
because wherever I can place troops
and wherever I can provide security
is where l'm going to be able to
have an influence on the populace.
The hard part is, is that they're so deeply
rooted down here because of family ties
and because of religious ideals, that getting
these people to push out the insurgency
and basically push out their family members
is going to be the hard part.
Right now the road ends
at the Korengal Outpost,
and where the road ends
We've been getting reports that they've been
watching us throughout the day,
I'd say is likely or imminent.
- Good to see you.
- Move southeast. It's this way.
Do you want chai?
We don't have time to sit down
and have chai tonight.
I just wanted to come in and talk to you
briefly about the project.
How many people are you actually
going to use to build the project?
What's up?
You see that last house, to the right of it?
Brownish f***ing bush
about f***ing 15, 20 meters to the right?
Yeah?
Someone turned around that corner,
saw us and went right back around, dude.
We're going to be moving in darkness.
You're going to be lead, so...
We could move now if you need to.
Okay, spread out.
I'm pushing up here.
Whoa, a tracer came right by here!
Hey!
There's fire coming. They're shooting.
Over there!
Where? Over where?
Tell me, sir, tell me.
Kim!
The first friend I lost was Vimoto,
and that was right at the beginning
of the deployment. That hit hard.
And then a month after that, I lost Restrepo.
The day that Restrepo got killed,
it came across the net
that we had troops in contact.
Then they called back in
and said that we have a casualty.
I need you to give me fire, Cortez.
We didn't know who it was, because nobody
was saying anything over the radio.
When you hear someone's hit,
your first reaction
is just like, f***, like, no.
And then you start going through your head
all the people that you know out there
