Restrepo Page #3

---

- Honcho Hill.

- Honcho Hill.

- You follow that spur,

and you go all the way up here,

Sergeant Major,

- and you might be able to see that--

- The tip of the...

that top of the OP.

You can see all the bee huts and stuff.

That's OP Restrepo.

Everything south of that

is the enemy sanctuary.

Battle 6, Battle 2-5,

I have around 15 up near Restrepo.

Nothing out of the ordinary as far

as movement in the southwest today.

Nothing but women and children

out tending to the fields and crops.

Enemy assessment-- we've got the AAF

are in the final stages to start their attack

and moving and getting everything in place.

Last 24, conduct a movement

to contact into Loy Kalay,

separate the AAF from the populace

in order to spread new lO themes.

Hey, Cunningham, on a side note,

how's the fam?

How's the what?

- The fam.

- The family?

Billy.

Good. They're pretty good.

Were they happy to see your crazy self?

Yeah, yeah, it was a good time, man.

Got to hang out at the ranch

and everything like that, you know?

Got to see pretty much everyone

in the family almost.

Your family owns a ranch?

Of course.

Like cows and pigs and chickens

and horses ranch?

No.

Like what kind of ranch, then?

It's like a ranch

just with like land, you know,

with gates and stuff and trucks and whatnot.

Some guns, some wildlife,

you know, that you shoot at.

Okay, so it's just a whole bunch of land

that they kill stuff on.

Yeah. It's kind of like this.

Yeah, but we're not hunting animals,

we're hunting people.

Hearts and minds.

F***ing feed tray.

Yeah. We'll take their hearts,

and we'll take their minds.

All right, listen up. Today we're going

to conduct a movement to contact.

The purpose is to talk to the locals

about some lO themes,

as far as the road construction team

coming in.

Get some workers from their village

to take part in that.

Talk about the cow incident.

- Also...

- It was delicious.

Talk about anything out of the ordinary

as far as AAF moving in through their area.

See if they can give us

any information on that.

Anyone have any questions?

Guys, it's gonna suck, but I'm going

to work you guys into the ground.

I need you guys to go out there

and do a patrol in the village

because l need you to keep

the enemy off his toes.

l need you to go out there

and push the enemy back

so we can buy some white space,

so you guys can go back up there

and work your asses off

filling up these sandbags

so that you guys, when do get hit,

you get hit but you got

something to hide behind.

And the best defense is

who has the greater offense.

3-3-4.

6-1-4-9.

Elevation 1-5-7-9.

And we are set in Koringal.

What's your father do?

A shepherd? What do you do?

Are you a shepherd, too?

Let me see your hands.

Your hands.

He's got pretty clean hands

for being a goat herder.

Where'd you get that watch, man?

You guys got a lot of goats?

60 goats.

60 goats?

That's pretty wealthy, right, Abdul?

Yeah.

Well, what do you know about

the people in Kalaygal?

He says...

Roger, we haven't found

anybody else to talk to.

We're going to start pushing back now.

Hey, 2-2, this is Bravo 1.

Start pushing out towards the trail.

Oh, f***.

What have they got?

Oh, I guess a guy running.

- A guy running?

- Yeah.

Hey, Liz!

Lookit. See?

We've seen a guy run from that house

once or twice before.

I just don't like the way it is.

I don't like how it feels right now.

You want him watching towards

the village or down in the draw?

- Towards the back side of the house.

- Watch the back side of the house.

Hey!

Sit down.

They found a BDU top.

I've got eyes on it right now, over.

Hey, keep on searching

this whole house. Search.

Yeah, yeah, like this, good. Okay.

Who does this belong to?

Never mind.

Hey...

"lf I go with you,

I'm not going to go with you right now.

- I will come back to the KOP."

- No, no, he's going-- he's coming with us.

This guy, he was already at the house.

This guy came up later, saw us,

and starting taking off running.

I got him, and ever since he started doing

what he's doing now.

Hey, tell these guys I'm gonna sit them

in my truck, they need to sit on their hands.

Right now what we're tracking

came in the valley on April the 11 th.

There's fifteen 107-milimeter rockets,

several cases of PKM and AK ammo.

The fear is always there,

especially at night when you can't

see what's coming at you.

When we started there, we only had

maybe fourteen guys up there.

I mean, it doesn't take much.

A few automatic weapons will keep,

you know, a squad pinned down,

while they could easily come up

from a side and flank you

and, you know, go basically clear house.

Nobody's going to help you.

You're in no man's land.

The KOP is only seven hundred,

eight hundred meters away,

but that might as well be

in a different country

because they're not getting to you.

Not in time.

KOP's taking indirect right now.

KOP's taking indirect.

Can't see sh*t what they're doing.

Day sight. lt's something.

Better than anything else we got.

I need more f***ing 240 here!

One's by Karingal, the other's by Dallas.

Right up there.

The birds we love.

Okay, roger, he's pretty much worked

the Honcho Hill ridge.

Want to push him southeast up to 3-0,

just southeast of that.

Big firefight, great.

F***ing packing up rounds.

That was fun, though, man, that was fun.

You can't get a better high.

It's like crack, you know?

You can sky dive or bungee jump

or do, you know, kayak,

but once you've been shot at,

you really can't come down.

There's nothing, you can't top that.

How are you going to go back

to the civilian world then?

I have no idea.

Hey, did you hear me go cyclic?

- I had the barrel smoked!

- Did you hear me?

Yeah, what the f*** was that first

batch about, cuz?

You was crazy as sh*t with that.

Hey, soon as I popped my head up,

holy-- Guess who.

And you just slid down the stairs.

- Common game planning. l was like...

- Get down!

The flight path over...

He's an excellent cook,

by far the best cook in the Korengal,

definitely.

Came up to Restrepo one time,

cooked us fresh cow,

same-day cow.

That was a good day.

Jonesie, you want another grill, man?

You all right?

No, l don't like to f*** on a full stomach.

Dude, we're on TV.

Come in here for the real thing.

Don't fight it, don't fight it.

Why don't they mess

with you anymore, man?

I was one of the first ones

that got messed with to begin with.

Well, look at him, look how sexy he is.

I mean, look at this guy.

He's a beautiful man.

I'd f*** him back in the States.

Let's talk about the road

between Omar and Kandalay.

What guy?

Who did we detain?

He says that you detain a guy.

Haji Se, Haji Se.

Naiim was dropped off

by another local in Kalaygal

who told us that he was bad

and that he was working with Sadikula

in the--

what the f*** is Sadikula

in charge of, Rudy, the Mujahadeen?

Yeah, he's working with the Muj.
