- Go!

Did you see those f***ers?

Just last night,

It was very lucky that, uh,

there were no major casualties

Stand by!

What's up?

We got smoke!

Straight down the road here

is where everyone is.

Hey, one, twos, move in!

- Open it up!

- Okay, let's go.

Hey, let's go!

We're taking fire!

We're taking fire!

And he was surrounded,

and there were Taliban all around,

Start suppressing!

Let's go, let's go!

Over there! Shoot something!

Shoo.

I had no idea

what was happening.

I didn't know what to do.

I thought I'd never see my son again.

Come on! Shoot!

Go, go! Hey, let's go!

Let's go, dudes!

Let's go, dudes!

Yeah, more smoke, bro!

Let's go, partner!

F*** yeah, brother!

Being reunited with Carlos

after that...

to see him alive...

The best.

Initially, I was scared

going into it.

We heard that there was gonna be

gunfire directed at us

Carlos grew up... real fast.

And I was so proud of him.

My time is almost over,

and now it's Carlos's turn.

And I believe my son is going to be

a better storyteller than I ever was.

It's his turn.

And about 12 minutes into it,

I was just dying.

See, my joints

have a limited shelf life now,

Yeah, true.

Carlos's time was up,

You wake up every

morning, facing death,

And ironically, in a war zone,

It was worth the risk to be a father again.

But, I think, deep down, as a father,

I was relieved that Carlos

was headed home,

QZR controls the entire northern part

of our area of operation.

Because they don't know

what they're doing.

They just graduated that madrassa.

They don't know any better.

His abilities to fight in the future

are gonna be extremely degraded.

That's all I got.

I don't think anybody

was necessarily prepared

After almost dying,

A personal thing, on a level that...

you know, I wasn't gonna let

these guys beat me.

I've been through quite a few firefights.

I'm not different from anybody else.

I wanted to get back,

get back in the fight,

We landed at 3:
00

in the morning,

and all of us were tense.

Now, based off the map,

it looked like there was a, a trail

Pretty sure it does not exist at all.

I'm glad we waited till daybreak

to actually move,

Hey, Ramone, take the low trail!

Going through the kalats,

uh, you can tell,

- Hey, Zee?

- What's up?

That sh*t sounds like

it's right in front of us.

Yeah, it does.

We had landed in the hornet's nest.

Stay down.

Stay behind Jim Coper.

This was command and control

for the Taliban,

And they were gonna make us pay.

Hey, we gotta start getting them

in this f***ing kalat.

Can we get the f***ing 60s

up on this f***ing hilltop?

- They're there! I saw 'em moving!

- Just up... up there!

- Fizzo?

- Yeah?

RPG seven!

- RPG seven!

- Oh, sh*t!

In this muddy, friggin' hillside...

we were surrounded.

And I thought,

Go ahead, one-six Romeo.

And a status with the count.

Over.

Six-three-six, stand by.

Three pads, two urgent,

one priority.

Break, break, break, break!

Yankee, Delta,

zero, four, niner, three, eight,

I was sitting there

on this mountainside,

hearing the radio calls come in.

Dammit.

And you knew...

choppers weren't coming.

Telling them, "Hey, the bird's coming,

the bird's coming,

The person saying it is getting

tired and under-sure,

Star cluster?

There he is!

- Medevac's inbound?

- Yeah. They're in the valley.

- Hell, yeah!

- Whoo!

You pull in, turn

sideways, and...

Made multiple attempts,

F***! Dammit!

A kick in the balls,

more than anything.

So we had to wait again.

It was a very low moment,

You were on your own.

It went through everybody's mind

that, you know...

You don't know who you are,

They're going to die,

and...

Hey, tell 'em,

tell 'em I want a gun run

Three-alpha!

In the draw.

Hey, they're in the draw, Meyers.

Covering fire.

You guys come to me!

Cease fire!

Was that three-four-zero?

- Hey, Wade, get ready!

- Ready, sir!

- All right, let's move it.

- Let's go, let's go!

In the middle of this battle,

Specialist Lindskog,

Who you wouldn't expect would do

anything heroic,

runs through a hail of gunfire

to try to save his fellow soldiers

and another Afghan soldier.

Let's go, let's go!

Forward! Move!

Go!

Move, move, move, move, move!

As soon as I said, "Let's go,"

Grabbed his bag

and stayed right behind me.

Lindskog was coherent enough

to talk to Sizemore

He wanted to do everything he could.

He treated three people in, like,

a matter of 10 minutes.

Oh, he was fully alert.

Uh, actually apologized

for not being able to hang on.

For dying-

Go ahead, three-six.

Roger.

As a reporter with a camera...

you don't.

F***er!

Roger,

we don't know. Roughly, uh, south...

When we gun it, a

360-degree firefight

F***, dude!

I tried to let you know

as soon as I saw it.

Okay, listen up.

Prepare to copy, all right?

I could tell by A.C.'s tone of voice

that, um...

I'm, I'm pretty sure he didn't think

he was gonna make it out of there.

Looked to A.C. like,

"A.C., this is gonna hurt."

He actually, you know, did us

the big A.C. smile.

Couldn't explain, in words

how I felt...

After helping them out,

having to run down there,

Watch it!

Go, go, go, go!

Go, man!

- Sh*t.

- You okay?

- It's definitely exposed.

- Get back.

Hey, go in the f***ing doors.

- Hey, Kent!

- Loaded, sir.

All right, breathe.

' Hey, Meyers!

Meyers!

This is Strong Eagle Ill.

Got up to our overwatch position.

Uh, wasn't...

wasn't that easy,

uh, this time,

He actually had to fix his boot.

His shoelace was busted,

Let's talk about

the seven layers of hell.

I heard, like, a couple

Afghanis talking,

And they were right

in the trees above us,

I'm looking up at the trees,

just, you know...

We made a plan to get the hell

out of there,

That's when Jeremy

was, uh, shot and killed.

What?

We can't f***ing move,

and we're waiting on this stuff.

What?

I heard my buddies

saying that they were hit.

No one told me that there were

casualties. I knew,

Dusty Feldhaus,

he was hit at least five times.

And he was apologizing

as if, you know,

You know, "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

My daughter is Makayah.

My, my son is Xander.

- Cool. You miss 'em?

- I do.

How much?

A lot.

All right, Feldhaus,

show us how to fight.

They're dying.

And they're fighting,

not for some war on terror.

- What kept you going?

- The rest of these guys.

We all kind of saw it in us

Their sacrifices are not

going to be forgotten.

Got 'em hoisted out,

and that was, that was good.

All three of them.

Continue getting... to traffic.

John, what, what are you

cooking there, dude?

Inshallah.

- Hey, thank you.

- You want some, Jim?

You see the...

Sure was.

So what's the goat's name there?

And, uh, this is a gift

for Captain Mott.

- Is that your new friend?

- It is my new friend.

You okay, Pep? Are you?

Go back to your mama.

Go back to your mother.

- Ooh!

- First flight!
