Not only that but then making a movie on a fake plot of what happened. Not to mention the afghani that saved him was left stranded by Marcus until last year when he was finally granted a green card and came to the US 😂
Finally some men who know the truth ,He still had all his mags ,one day he will tell the truth . After that we need to ask Rob Oneil to tell us about the operator (Red). I can speak on this stuff I sacrificed from my early 20s to my early 30s doing the exact kind of mission sets they were I know the exact place where Marcus was at I'll put this on my life That area cannot support that many fighters it's a matter of shelter, water ,supplies and tribal agreements that allow and support the Taliban and Ahmed Shah s" Mountain Tigers "to operate it WOULD NEVER HAPPEN it's a matter of biology.
@@tacc529It shouldn’t be, yet here he is signing off on ghost written books & making movies based on proven lies while his friends are dead…. Begs the question who signed off on HIM graduating BUDS to be there that day in the first place? 🤨
@@TheWorld-MyOysterwhat are you clowns on about? Lutrell literally suffered from two seperate gunshot wounds, his back was shattered, he had to have dozens of surgeries and artificial discs put in him. Now we have keyboard warriors talking about how he ran away and didn’t fight 😂
I hate how that entire situation could have been entirely avoided, but the hubris of the SEALs got them and others killed. Maybe it’s easy for me to say in hindsight, but the glaringly obvious problems were repeatedly pointed out by the guys who frequented the area and the SEALs didn’t listen.
My friends in the special forces and special operations units would say (and do say in private conventions), that that same hubris has saved significantly more lives and is entirely misunderstood in terms of how it protects freedoms that people like you and me take for granted. It’s very easy to criticize in hindsight.
@@haydenschaap I think we might have a disconnect somewhere. I’m not saying the SEALs are bad or dumb. I’m saying their not taking the advice of the guys who had been operating in the area, taking only unreliable comms with little backup (against recommendations from the marines) and doing a series of fake drops over the course of a week which tipped off the enemy that something was going to happen in the area was due to their hubris. When you’re at that level, it’s easy to succumb to. SEALS are great, but they banked too much on that and too little on recommendations from other experienced units. We should always keep an accurate assessment of ourselves and the enemy because when we lost sight on either one (much less both), people die. Because of this hubris, 19 people died, the enemy got detailed plans of the Kabul embassies among other things (which were subsequently used against the US, Coalition, and Afghans), the shah got away AND reinforced his number with the PR of shooting down a helicopter and killing the SEALs. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Any single part that could have happened should be planned for, and it simply wasn’t. Multiple things failed and there was no plan in place.
It's about admitting that we're not always in control of the cap and how loose it gets. This doesn't make us weak. Sometimes we can't stop shit from getting into our heads and hearts. It's important to have well developed self care techniques and to be honest with yourself, vulnerable enough to admit when you're hurt, sad, burnt out and so forth. Mental health is no joke.
Stuff gets into our minds that we never intended ir even knew was taken in. Your eyes and ears automatically accumulate information and experiences and most of it we don't even realize its stored away in our brain. And these experiences and info stored away basically make you who you are. It's what makes you worry about certain things or get happy about certain things etc. And we don't even realize what's making us think a certain way or react a certain way to certain things etc. That's why ptsd is so brutal. Ptsd goes all the way back to being a little kid. Getting picked on at school etc. Or getting in your first fist fight. Or getting in trouble and getting a whipping for something etc. That shit literally affects us til adulthood
@@marshalljohnson8117thats the truth.. i really looked up to marcus and his story and it was tough to swallow that he is nothing but a liar and a coward
Everyone saying he ran away is extremely gullible for believing some random reddit post that started all that nonsense. Look at the AAR and read all the books about Op Red Wings. Nobody in the military who participated in Operation Red Wings and the rescue operation, Red Wings II, has said that Marcus ran away or was found with all his magazines. The official documents and eyewitness accounts from people involved do not support those bizarre and baseless reddit theories about Marcus running away. This dude couldn't even get what award Marcus got correct, yet he wants to spread lies about his actions that day? Okay 😂
@@johncitizen5130yep, an absolute shambles of a mission in all aspects lead to the deaths of multiple elite servicemen at the hands of a small group of Taliban. So the top brass’s options were to either face a national embarrassment on the world stage. Or write their own story and get the only guy who survived to put his name on it, knowing it couldn’t be contested. I don’t know why anyone’s surprised that they went with the latter 😂.
I don’t mean this to be rude, genuinely, but I find it interesting that there are quite a few comments saying this exact same thing yet people still comment it…same ideas, in a way that seems to be trying to newly convince us that he’s not what people thing he is, or something. Question being, when you read comments does it help solidify the sentiment by commenting again? Or maybe people don’t see them and comment quickly without reading (not that you should be expected to read comments, I’m actually just curious because it’s a bit fascinating to observe haha. No opinion on my end either way)

@@haydenschaap I think it’s bc people like myself just commented without reading others’ posts.
Nothing wrong with that. Still kinda fascinating to observe repeated sentiments as if we as the commenters in the videos themselves haven’t heard it before lol. It’s interesting, nothing wrong with it, just makes me wanna grab some popcorn while observing the social dynamic of people saying the exact same thing almost as if each commenter is just as appalled as the last that somehow us two dummies are anything expert or professional doing something beyond just saying something we liked about a thing. lol
@@lokiprepper pointless attitude to have. If you really felt humans were that, youd simply kill yourself (unless you are something other than human). In reality you dont think that for actions speak louder than words. Are you doing well? And if not why?
Marcus is a fraud he ran like a little girl an left his brothers to die on that mountain an then said they were all dead so they slow rolled the search an then they found axe on day 8 if thr search an he had only been dead for 28 hours he totally could have been saved.
Not that Marcus Luttrell would know anything about that. He cut tail and ran away leaving his teammates to die while calling his name. And was later found with 11 full magazines of ammunition. He never fired a shot.
@@Leo-sp4zl lol lies, the spec ops guys that picked him up confirmed he fought, he even fought with them for a night and deployed with joko a year later and fought A LOT. Dirt bag
@@Leo-sp4zlWhat’s crazy is I didn’t even know any of that and I just had an argument with a guy yesterday which is what brought to me this section of RU-vid again where I stood on the belief that he only survived because other stayed behind and gave them hell fighting till their last breaths so he could get further down the hill. Now we weren’t there, and in the movie he sustains a lot less fatal injuries than the others, so it’s possible right when the fighting started, they were so overwhelmed when the youngest guy almost instantly hit two of his fingers shot off, which was literally the worst possible spot to take a bullet at the start of that type of engagement, it probably cut the odds of the 4 of them finding a good spot and being able to defend until evacuation or the enemy forces withdrew from a 15% chance to a 3% chance. 3 good healthy shooters with 1 moving at a time would have given them at least a chance at creating enough separation to take ground where the enemy has to approach at a disadvantage and attempt to hold it. I think their biggest mistake was also climbing back down the mountain to hide in the tree line when they were almost sure the Taliban would be coming up the mountain for them. They should have find s roosters nest and done their best to secure and barricade it against RPGs and grenades and essentially become a 4 man watch tower but instead of being a small box you can fire an rpg in to, they could have taken and secured the highest bluff on the mountain. Given the accuracy of axe with a sniper, they could have just sat up there all day taking free kills on every Taliban warrior that tried climbing the bluff similar to how they got trapped on the boulders
The amount of hate and smearing I see people doing against this guy is saddening.. calling him a coward for running and what not. My god running was his only option in that situation.. NORMALLY navy seals would have better technology / intel / equipment / experience / guns/ etc etc. in this specific mission, they didn’t. They were surrounded from 3 angles, completely outnumbered, and multiple of his team already took bullets.. there wasn’t much he could do besides run.. if he didn’t run, he woulda died and there woulda been zero survivors that day. SEALS are like brothers, I promise you if there was a way he could have saved his team, he would have. He assessed the situation, he saw his team already took bullets and were shot, and there was nothing he could do.. one man isn’t gonna be able to carry 3 guys to safety, one man isn’t gonna be able to kill 15-20 taliban when they are shooting from 3 high ground angles, it’s just not gonna happen. He would have risked taking multiple bullets just by running to his injured team, and what then? He damn sure wouldn’t have been able to carry them to safety while getting shot at. Running down the hill was the ONLY option, and if you think he’s a coward for running you are CRAZY and I’d like to see what you woulda done in that situation. Gaurantee 99% of you woulda pissed your pants the moment bullets wizzed past your head. Look I’m sure some fabrications were made for the movie, I don’t doubt that, but at the end of the day this man has seen more horrors than any of us will see in a lifetime.. seals are like brothers and he saw his team get slaughtered. If he didn’t run, he would be dead. People acting like since he tan he’s a coward, like nah, when your outnumbered and surrounded from the high ground on 3 angles, running down the hill to cover is your only option. Y’all calling him cowards are sitting in the comfort of your home and would never in your worst nightmares experience what this man experiences. Get real.
hes saying that because hes been living a lie , and its so out of hand its past him , the whole movie is made up and nothing happened the way they portray it in the movie , he ran and didnt fire at anyone went on multiple talks and podcats changing hes story , thats why its weighing heavy on hes mind.
Genuinely curious, do you keep up with his podcast tours and interviews pretty regularly? (Actually wanting to know; I don’t follow him or what he’s doing, so it seems interesting)
The firefights aren't the problem. The constant close proximity to small explosive blasts from IEDs, grenades, artillery rounds, RPGs, breach charges, and the bigger stuff. That's far worse on your brain than a career in the NFL or Pro Boxing.
Duuude I’ve been working my ass off too trying to work towards that millionaire dream , I got my own company and maxing decent rev just looking on how to farm money on the side without paying much attention, I sell phones and repair than and resell cars but what is going to boost my to 10s of thousands instead of thousands?
As a man that has spent his entire life either going to or getting ready to go to combat, this is profoundly true. It broke me down and instant tears. We don't choose to allow our demons in but we must choose how we deal with the ones that inhabit us.
Go screw!!! Anyone who romanticizes combat hasn't seen it. But keep doing you boo-boo, keep telling yourself you're an Alpha bro with mad demons y'all. I'm sure the enemy is shitting themselves reading your comment.
Thank you. And all the rest of his lies. Just caught him in a major one again since the other ranger that found him said when he asked "where his team was?" He said "there dead" and the ranger asked "okwhere " ML replied " somewhere on the mountain" and you can tell the ranger is frustrated with him and says " I know if I was laying out there that my boys would know where I was" but according to ML in his book he said " you can find them here, here and here" now axe you know was found a ways away. But was also buried . But according to ML he was there when each of them died. He claims he left Danny and went down to Micheal. Murph and Dietz was found within a few feet of each other.
I met one of the Chiefs, any one will do, it don't matter, Lone Survivor is basically the Ft. Hood Shooter on the big screen. There's just too much Title 50 water in the bucket to explain King High School to MARSOC or President Bush. Evry HornyToad in FunkyTown under White Castle sings the same sog. Lone Survivor is Hard as BlackRock in Medina
“Imagine acting like you’re the fakest tough guy in the school, and when you imagine yourself walking around the school acting tough, only to cowardly run away when you get into your first real fight when the quiet emo kid wants to finally fight back. Then you look back to see the quiet emo kid beating up all your friends, as theyre asking for your help, start crying and keep running away.”
Often your outside can represent your inside. But even when you stick it out time after time after time and tell yourself you can do it, after about the 150th time you might just break. Take care of yourselves bros
Lol nope, you were definitely going to counter his answer. “Relax just a question” you’re such a tool. Let me guess you don’t even know the pentagon approves and funds which military movies get released in Hollywood for guys like you to believe 😂 You’re clueless to what combat is actually like and it’s definitely not being found with every magazine miles away from your dead teammates.
😂there is actually another bottle story which he brought up briefly in a Podcast that’s entirely different. I don’t know who else knows about it and I don’t know if it’s appropriate for me to bring it up. But when he talks about a bottle in the Podcast he is talking about what I am referring to.
Huh. I thought this was the other Bottle story from Marcus. The pashtun tribe gave him the pepsi bottle with water in it (he was almost dying of thirst), and he later called it the "cholera" bottle- it was foul- he got affected by it- for months he said.
Marcus is a true American Soldier. He doesn't want to hear, youre a hero. This atory is amazing, because i believe he's explaining what his mind went through on that tradgic day. His teamates, did all they could, as did he also fight so hard. To give each other that chance to go home. And lastly Marcus was saved, because of his brave teammate, that did what he had to, so hopefully marcus would live. G8d bless them all. Its just not right, that our rules of engagement are what they are. That's the example of our, top operators 8n our military. Compared to these other countries. It breaks my heart, they had to make that decision! 🙏 🪖
You’re confused dude. He lied about almost everything that happened. That guy loves the sound of his own voice and loves being called a hero when he doesn’t deserve it
He ran and left his teammates, that’s a fact. There is drone video that shows this, he was also found with full magazines because he never fired a shot.
@@haydenschaap Ep 66: Marcus Luttrell: The Truth Start it at 1:12:00 when they cover Operation Red Wings. The Rangers and Green Berets were there and read the operational report by Marcus. Confirm that they were engaged by no more than 15 militants.
Everyone is a motivational speaker and each one has their own stupid little metaphors and examples, this dude went on for a min over some "Dont let shit into your mind" bull crap
