Embedded With Special Forces in Afghanistan | Pt. 2 

Laghar Juy was where I lost my team and legs. Glad to see the teams are still in the area taking care of business.

At 7:35 that sick metal riff, who is that?

What year was this? I think I was there lol

@@armygreen82nd thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart! I'm here for you!

You should have a link to episode one in the description

interesting

Badass. Middle easterners are fucking warfighters

Thank you for the translation.

@@johnnyultor Pashtuns aren't Middle Eastern. They're from Central Asia.

thank you

Rob E Most powerful warrior on the battlefield.

Not meaning to start a debate or argument but, Either tied or a very close second to combat controllers.......E.O.D. Never before or since have I felt such a strong feeling of fear and clarity, than I did when I was a an E.O.D. technician

All of AFSOC is unsung badassery. Most people have no clue. While SEALs and ODAs get most of the airtime, a huge percentage of the data that is crucial to their mission planning is collected and compiled by the USAF. CCTs, TACPs, SR, PJs, and SOWT are incredible force-multiplying support assets whose capabilities and information are often pivotal to mission success.

They really are. My dad's an air traffic controller and trains them and he says their some bad ass dudes

I was there during this time. The mountains and valleys are amazing. The green terraces in Nangarhar and Laghman are beautiful. If it wasn't for IS and the TB I would hike all over that area. Goes for Kunar, Nuristan, Laghman, and Nangarhar

It’s good now. You can go for hike as a tourist. I did it. Went up until Nuristan. Whatever u guys did put aside, we don’t want problem with US and the world. I hope the won’t either.😊

@@SS-gq1qh that’s bullshit

Du hast völlig recht. Nur leider leben da auch gute Menschen nicht nur die IS.

@@Bigunk-hc2ri hardly. The Taliban didn't want a war with the US, they offered to extradite Bin Laden if the US provided any evidence that he was involved in 9/11, the US refused. The Taliban kicked ass, they have no reason to not want to move on. US harbours many people accused by many nations of involvement in terrorism. I'm sure all yanks wouldn't have a problem if those nations invaded 🙄🙄

You drop short lads are bound to have a few confirmed blue on blues eh?

They’ve got it now. They fought hard with what they had. Imagine now. Geez. Smh

Equipment they have no idea how to use or maintain...

@@zacsmith2026 agreed. However, they own the people within ANA and the former military too now. If the coalition started with supplying knowledge about maintaining, they can easily keep tanks and other armored carriers. Plaines however, another story!

It's not the soldiers fault this happened. The politicians no exit strategy and no plan achieve their goals. The corruption should have been dealt with immediately it read its ugly head. Th President should have been got rid of and someone better than put in. The army issue should have been dealt with much quicker instead of being let stage on without proper equipment although it was always going to be a big ask to get everything in place. But it should have been planned for and executed from day one.

As much as anything it the bureaucrats mistakes that led to this. I BELIEVE THEY got sidelined looking up the Turkey's tail feathers and lost s out get of their end goal or never had one.

"Your work is extortionately difficult and significant. The world is grateful to you. er no the world isn't grateful and their work is insignificant as the war against the Taliban was lost by the Americans.

The US has been fighting for peace for every year of it's existence apart from 18. In order to have peace you have to stop fighting at some point (stopping searching the world to find enemies would also be rather helpful)

Lol dont forget JTF! As they train the seals! Canadian special forces

Im Australian and i can hear it..

Where ever there is any special forces unit in the world just remember, they all learned from the British 👌👍

Why not be batman or superman?

@@m.mozdemir yeah maybe even the amazing Spiderman...cause his whimp ass definitely don't wanna be a soldier

You will if you keep your goal in mind. Greetings from a former Royal Marine of The Netherlands.

The combat controller?

been happening for a couple years now, ever since trump initiated troop withdrawal the Taliban have been gaining territory

@@mradavid The US had to withdraw eventually.

@@mradavid Territory is one thing. The entire country is another. We had to leave at some point. Leaving our people there was not part of the plan.

*All claim to be special forces until TALlBAN comes* 😎😎😎

When are the SF people gonna understand that they cannot beat the Goat herders !

any chicken stranglers ?

And "freedom" bringers?

*all claim to be special forces until TaIiban comes*. 😎😎😎

best comment of the year lol

That's not right. Funny, but not right.

😂🤣I’ll co sign 🙌🏽

Ù

💀💀

Was wondering the same thing. Shazam wouldn’t find it

Ild burn the whole mountain with gel

All in vain

Pa

If he was recruited maybe. Probably common knowledge that he works with them. Just came from there. I don't think it is a secret he is talking to them

i see nothing

@@user-ci7vu7eo9w Listen.

I heard “Good shot!”

That was so stereotypically American 😂

Shazam couldn’t find it

Mash 709 have you seen the new gen 240? It’s insane and looks badass

What 240 lol

Mk 48

Amazing fight

@@plutoisacomet Yes, really "dude". As a matter of fact, those soldiers have been doing their jobs for 20 years non-stop, but it's gotten us nowhere. Tell the numb nuts running the show maybe next time we can just wreck the place, then NOT spend 20 years handing out Band Aids. Fuck 'em!

@@billdanosky You are incapable of just wrecking the place, they don't have cities. You tried this in North Korea and now they're pointing nukes at you.

@@-BuddyGuy Yes we can, and we did. In the first two weeks of the Afghanistan campaign, the Taliban thought we had broken them. It wasn't until we started hanging around that they realized they could actually get at us. BTW, we didn't do this in North Korea and they don't have anything they can point at us.

@@billdanosky You "wrecked the place" with carpet bombing and they have the Hwasong-15. And if you did this in Afghanistan, as you just claimed, then why did you claim in an earlier comment that you should have just wrecked the place? Seems to me like a contradiction, and that you'll say whatever you think backs up the idea that the US is some unstoppable force, regardless of whether it makes sense. I made a mistake by wasting my time on someone of such inferior mental capabilities.

@@-BuddyGuy You can have the point for the Hwasong 15, although everybody knows it would have to be empty to make it here. However, I stated earlier (above), "maybe next time we can just wreck the place, then NOT spend 20 years handing out Band Aids". If you can't understand the meaning, I'm wasting my time on someone with limited reading skills.

airbourne nicaragua 1983 1984 paratrooper mos death from above

that was a m249 saw, not a 240

*MK48

msumungo you’ve never seen me homie

Looks like a SAW. If so its just 5.56mm and he is on bi pod so its no reason it shouldn't be.

msumungo lol where do you think the “special” comes from?!?!?

@@WW5RM good thing it’s a MK-48 and not a SAW. Stay in school.

@@MC-ml9ux yeah I better go back to school I guess. When I graduated all we had were M60s.

I think they didn't because he is a Taliban member and they know it or because by the time they got around to editing the video, he might have already been dead....or they wanted him dead because he back-stabbed them. So lots of possible reasons.

@@wigon but he works with them and at the same he saw their faces maybe even gain entrance to ther camps that person must be protected at all cost otherwise he will expose camp layout defences and strength of the officers

@@ghostshooter6242 Most likely the other Taliban already know his role as a liaison between them and American forces. ISIS I'm sure already knew who he was so it likely didn't matter whether or not they showed his face. As for the layout of the camp, when you're working with ANA forces, or have locals doing work at the base (which is likely to be the case), it's pretty much a given that a detailed layout of the camp will be given to the Taliban and ISIS. What makes this video unusual is that it basically shows U.S. forces and the Taliban cooperating against a mutual enemy. For many of the Taliban, ISIS is a bigger threat to them than the Americans.

@@wigon Yep. The Taliban were not our enemy to start with, only became one because they help OBL and Al-Qaeda . They are no saints, but it seems we have no choice but to try to broker peace with them to achieve peace in the area. Trump has been attempting to do that but then they go and do some stupid shit over there and mess it up for themselves. The whole situation is really complex in the tribal areas.

@@tar5us452 I don't think Trump has much to do with it, but at least he's not getting in the way. We've been trying to get out of Afghanistan since the Bush administration. The bigger problem has been that the U.S. military has been at war with itself. One one hand you have the "Hearts and Minds" officers and SF soldiers who really want to win over the Taliban to our side away from Al-Qaeda's influence. On the other hand however you have the majority of the military for whom "hearts and minds" means a 5.56mm double tap to the chest and to the brain. So basically you have had one hand of the military undermining the other hand. For example, very often in the past Special Forces and HTS (Human Terrains Systems) teams would spend months painstakingly developing relationships and alliances with tribal leaders after learning the local politics, economy, culture, religion, language, and world view. But then some new theater commander would get rotated in wanting to get some rank and kick some ass and would order an aggressive operation with conventional Army or Marine infantry units where they'd kick in doors, arrest people, and destroy all of those months (and sometimes years) of work that SF and HTS did in those areas. Finally we are seeing, out of desperation, the conventional military finally letting special operations run the show there getting themselves embedded within villages and communities. The conventional military sees Afghanistan as a lost cause. The Special Operations community sees opportunity now with the spread of ISIS, to win over the Taliban to our side and end the war. Notice on this video how many of the SF guys walk around with no body armor. That demonstrates to the locals their trust in them. So oddly enough....all these years later, we MIGHT actually be seeing what should have been done years ago.

Lolx same

Hello my dear how are you doing and where are you from?

Yes, I can confirm that.

I remember when he came home...
