Combat Story (Ep 46): Tony Brooks | Ranger BN | Op Red Wings Recovery | Author Leave No Man Behind 

God bless you and thank you for your service!! 👍🇺🇸

Thank you for your service, you must have been one of the saltiest platoon sergeants lol I met a couple of those during my 13 years in the infantry and those were always the ones that knew their shit. Kinda like an E4 mafia member on steroids lol

@@alexhidell8022 lol, I was about to write something like that. But I hope not.

Check out “The Warfighters” series on NatGeo I think it is. This whole story is told by other Rangers that were on this mission in the episode “Red Wings Recovery”. There is also an episode on the Ranger mission at Haditha dam.

He did live was medically discharged ... think he became a cop

I enjoyed listening because it brought back the memories of the movie and both of Marcus' books and a documentary of op redwings.

These are the stories Americans need to hear. All the sacrifice, Blood sweat and tears shed for one another and for America. Experiences may vary but if you deployed to war you did your part. That’s more than most Americans who have no clue what it takes to even get there much less getting shot at by the enemy.

Ahmad Shaw was also a Homosexual.. True story. They also had day designated to their Gay activities “Manlovethursday”. True story

He interviewed Tom Satterly(idk if spelled right) but he was delta force who was in that battle

Kenny Thomas has some stuff out there also

It's well known that piss poor planning by the SEALS is the root cause for why things went awry. ORW was likely the worst black eye in modern SOF history. A lot of people also don't appreciate the pruned, Navy approved puff Piece that was the book and movie.

The Lone Survivor story is a lie. The video of the ambush is actually online. They hot hit by 8 to 12 guys and Lutrell was found with no rounds fired. Look into it.

This is how you treat anyone in the war zone who is found..there were no circumstances making this something different. They didn’t say he was under the influence, they were being weary of him possibly being under the influence of the enemy since he had been in captivity. This is standard SOP

Negative things have been said about Marcus, not from any of the tier 1 community..it’s from commenters looking for someone to blame when they themselves never served. 😊

The difference is that Travis Osborn was together with Luttrell on that podcast while Tony Brook has no ties with Luttrell. Nicholas Moore, another Ranger with no ties with Luttrell, has said Luttrell was unable to provide them any details regarding the location of the other SEALs. Again, this is very different from Osborn's account, where Luttrell apparently marked his teammates location on his GPS which helped the Rangers find their bodies. No mention of this from Brooks or Moore. Interestingly enough, Moore is the only Ranger who brought up Luttrell's injuries, claiming the Rangers found him with nothing more than scratches, bruises, and a single gunshot wound in the butt. Not trying to completely discredit Osborn but being on a podcast together with Luttrell means he's not going to say anything that contradicts the selling story of the operation.

What exactly is “boyfriend mandate”? Haven’t heard that term before.

Your slow

I'm but I don't think Rob was in Team 6 in 2005. I'm not positive but he might have been in 10. I'm pretty sure he was an east coast team. Don't hold me exact on any of this lol

One thing that has always both baffled & enraged me about Luttrells was the fact that eventhough he was a sniper just like Axelson,Luttrell was found to be carrying almost his entire stock of ammunition when he was rescued which also included a couple that Murphy unselfishly gave him either before he went up on the peak to make that Sat Call or after he crawled back down to his previous position where Luttrell was.So it appears as if Luttrell was doing more fleeing than shooting to both help himself and his teammates. Im aware that snipers are usually stationary when they're taking shots at the enemy and their accuracy will be much better while stationary,but Axleson didn't appear to have a problem firing back at the enemy while eluding,plus to make things even more difficult,midway through the fight, Axelson had to start doing this after being shot in the back of his head which actually turned out blinding him in his left eye which was depicted in the movie.BTW,Berg used the autopsies for Axelson,Deitz and Murphy to create the same wounds each Seal endured their fateful day.Axelson likely had very little to no ammo left by the time he took his last breath,which shows he truly done & used every last thing he could until he could fight/breathe no more.Murphy may be the one that was labeled the hero that day (& he deserves the label for giving his life to reach help) but IMO,Axelson was the one who truly took the last stand and that's likely the reason why he was quite a bit always from the other team members,& by team I'm not including Luttrell either due to the weakness he showed during that fight.Other than the fact that Murphy likely suspected he didn't have much time left due to his already incurred injuries plus the ones he was likely expecting to receive once he reached that peak that gave him the Sat Call signal,Ive always been curious as to why Murphy even handed Luttrell what ammo he had left anyways,seeing as how Luttrell still had most/all of his own ammo left which Murphy must have known eventhough he still gave it up?? There's no doubt in my mind that Murphy 100% sacrificed himself to get help to try to save his team,but I also feel like he done what he did to try and say he was sorry for ultimately being the one who made the decision to let those herders go.Theres truly no way to know whether any other decision he may have made would have kept Shah & his men from finding the team later on anyways, but it may have given the team a little more time to move further away and get help there sooner than it did.We'll never know though.IMO though,the herders were sent out to both help pin down the Seals actual location,but to also act as a distraction/diversion to give Shahs scumbags time to strategically position themselves in the optimal locations to do the most damage.If this is the way these things truly happened,not allowing the herders to go free wouldn't have mattered anyway since Shah had likely found them around this time & no amount of time would have given those Seals a fighting chance when they were surrounded on 3 ellivated sides. RIP to the 3 Seals plus the 16 Seals & Night Stalkers onboard Turbine 33.

It is odd to think about how certain circumstances can possibly change things so much.Although it's not related to Redwings or this video,& for the purpose of quick discussion,just think about the time you were in an accident that if only you or the offending driver would have literally left their last location just 10 seconds sooner or later than they/you did,the accident would likely have not happened or the same thinking can be applied to any type of situation.In the Redwings Operation,if Luttrell would not have been on that team,would a vote (about the goat herders) that was different than Luttrells, swayed Murphy to make a different decision than he did,eventhough his vote was really the only one that truly mattered since the team's officer has that bear to cross meaning his decision/choice on the subject will be the one that the team has to abide by.If they didn't have flex cuffs/zip ties,other options could have been used.The decision I would have made would be to ziptie the hands of each herder to the ankles of each herders so that they would have had to crawl on their hands and knees for their entire trip back to the village.I can guarantee you it would have taken them several hours when forced to use this method,but no matter how much none of us have the right to sit here and armchair quarterback their decisions,I would imagine that almost 100% of the people who have posted comments on this portion of the compromise,would all agree that just up and cutting them loose was the worst mistake that team made,especially considering that one of the herders tried to escape numerous times before the team actually cut them free.

They set themselves up for failure at literally every possible way. Should have listened to the Marines that the SEALs yanked this mission away from.

@@wbrockstar9550 No..he was not found with most of his ammunition..stop propagating this lie.. Every ranger that was there that day says he was found with a mag and a half..that is the facts. Two whom I know personally Holy shit

@@user-cz8lj8kd7h Could you explain why Army Ranger Nicholas Moore stated that Luttrell was unable to provide any details regarding the location of his teammates and how he was found with only cuts, bruises, and a single gunshot wound, and none of the severe injuries Luttrell claims? Also how there's a picture of Luttrell while he was under Afghan care with his face without a scratch? Genuinely asking.

Nope, just the the immature & asinine🙄

Wow, bashing our patriotism after a terrorist attack killed thousands of our people, nice. It would have been strange if we didn’t unite together. Maybe you are a little jealous? Keep Your negative foreign comments to yourself. Why are you even listening to an American veteran story if you aren’t American and bash the US?

Move to Mexico and see where your smart mouth get you.
