1
00:00:09,143 --> 00:00:10,843
what's up?
Need me, sir?
2
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:12,845
yeah, we're good
To fly in.
3
00:00:14,315 --> 00:00:18,450
I started originally working
At abercrombie & fitch,
4
00:00:18,452 --> 00:00:19,752
As weird as that is.
5
00:00:19,754 --> 00:00:21,553
-hey, we got room back here?
-yeah.
6
00:00:21,555 --> 00:00:23,689
So it's kind of interesting
That I decided to make
7
00:00:23,691 --> 00:00:25,124
The choice for the military.
8
00:00:25,126 --> 00:00:27,192
But I like going
On adventures,
9
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:28,727
Doing new things, being crazy.
10
00:00:28,729 --> 00:00:30,295
Hey, let's go.
11
00:00:30,297 --> 00:00:32,731
We were brand-new,
Out of the gate,
12
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:35,234
Don't know anything.
13
00:00:37,805 --> 00:00:39,738
a lot of these guys
Were so young.
14
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:42,975
Like, it's the youngest group
Of privates I'd ever had.
15
00:00:46,714 --> 00:00:49,848
we were here
In the middle of nowhere.
16
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:53,052
And I'm kind of like,
"This is the lion's den.
17
00:00:53,054 --> 00:00:56,221
And I kind of feel
Like a lamb right now."
18
00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:08,100
So we're heading
Out west I believe,
19
00:01:08,102 --> 00:01:10,069
Driving down the road
We drove down
20
00:01:10,071 --> 00:01:12,771
Darn near every single day.
21
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:14,773
I'm scanning the road
Like I always do,
22
00:01:14,775 --> 00:01:17,209
Sitting up front.
23
00:01:17,211 --> 00:01:19,311
I'm looking for I.E.D.S.
24
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:23,449
Everything's a normal day.
25
00:01:23,451 --> 00:01:25,384
Um...
26
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:43,268
God, the smells --
Dirt with blood mixed in
27
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:47,005
And then the smell of death.
28
00:01:47,007 --> 00:01:49,741
go! Go!
29
00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:51,243
in may 2010,
30
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:54,313
A small unit from
The legendary 101st airborne
31
00:01:54,315 --> 00:01:55,681
Is among those deployed
32
00:01:55,683 --> 00:01:57,850
In an attempt to defeat
The taliban.
33
00:01:59,153 --> 00:02:01,220
it is in
Our vital national interest
34
00:02:01,222 --> 00:02:04,456
To send an additional 30,000
U.S. Troops to afghanistan.
35
00:02:05,593 --> 00:02:08,627
pick it up! Go, go, go!
36
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,363
the korangal valley
37
00:02:11,365 --> 00:02:14,900
Is frequently described
As the valley of death.
38
00:02:14,902 --> 00:02:16,335
hurry up! Hurry up!
Get up there!
39
00:02:22,176 --> 00:02:24,843
we knew that
It was gonna be the deployment
40
00:02:24,845 --> 00:02:26,745
That people
Would write books about.
41
00:02:26,747 --> 00:02:28,881
I figured I wanted to be able
To document that.
42
00:02:28,883 --> 00:02:30,749
What is that?
Is that a camera or something?
43
00:02:32,219 --> 00:02:33,952
their mission --
44
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,721
To intercept weapons
And fighters
45
00:02:35,723 --> 00:02:37,022
Pouring through the valley
46
00:02:37,024 --> 00:02:40,826
From the taliban's safe havens
In neighboring pakistan.
47
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:45,097
Among them, rookies
Like private j.J. Mccool
48
00:02:45,099 --> 00:02:47,099
And private kyle boucher...
49
00:02:47,101 --> 00:02:48,100
Hi, mom.
50
00:02:48,102 --> 00:02:49,468
I was a troublemaker.
51
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:51,570
I think it's that type of guy
That joins the army.
52
00:02:54,408 --> 00:02:55,641
...Combat veterans
53
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:58,177
Like sergeant first class
Ken shriver...
54
00:02:58,179 --> 00:03:00,012
- let her rip!
55
00:03:00,014 --> 00:03:03,248
...And newly recruited
Medic doc shreeve.
56
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:04,783
I need to show these guys
57
00:03:04,785 --> 00:03:07,286
That I am a member
Of their team.
58
00:03:07,288 --> 00:03:08,987
You know,
"If you're getting smoked,
59
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:10,222
I'm gonna get smoked, too."
60
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:17,996
we were already
Taking fire from everywhere.
61
00:03:17,998 --> 00:03:20,199
It was just baptism by fire.
62
00:03:23,671 --> 00:03:27,773
It is kind of that journey
From boyhood to manhood.
63
00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:29,208
Aah!
64
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:30,209
you!
65
00:03:32,947 --> 00:03:37,716
It's a brotherhood, man.
You can't let your brothers die.
66
00:03:39,653 --> 00:03:41,553
I don't really think
There's anything
67
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:42,988
That could bond you more.
68
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:46,291
These are my brothers.
This is my family.

charlie company,
Suppressing from the rear.
72
00:04:13,187 --> 00:04:16,688
initially,
I didn't know what to think.
73
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:20,192
And as the dust was settling...
74
00:04:20,194 --> 00:04:23,629
You could see the truck
Was on its side.
75
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:44,683
how you doing, kyle?
You doing all right, brother?
76
00:04:54,161 --> 00:04:57,796
I had doc with me.
Doc shreeve went to work.
77
00:05:00,067 --> 00:05:03,635
-how?
-my heart dropped.
78
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:06,772
High, who was the driver,
It was very obvious that...
79
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:08,640
He was no longer with us.
80
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:11,343
2-7.
81
00:05:11,345 --> 00:05:13,045
chisholm was pinned
In the vehicle,
82
00:05:13,047 --> 00:05:14,813
And when I...
83
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:18,450
Assessed his pulse,
I knew he was gone.
84
00:05:21,188 --> 00:05:23,655
Petry had
A very severe spinal injury.
85
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:26,925
And one wrong move, and I can
Unintentionally kill him.
86
00:05:29,697 --> 00:05:32,331
-wheels up, but that's it.
-I really like shreeve.
87
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:35,267
He was also from the northwest.
88
00:05:35,269 --> 00:05:37,102
And there aren't
A lot of guys in the military
89
00:05:37,104 --> 00:05:39,037
From the northwest.
90
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:42,774
He was a young medic.
91
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:45,277
I mean, he wasn't a veteran like
A lot of the guys were.
92
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,179
So it was
His first deployment, too.
93
00:05:54,121 --> 00:05:57,889
in the background,
We had our dead friends.
94
00:05:57,891 --> 00:06:00,258
And I was here trying
To make sure we didn't have
95
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:03,061
A third dead friend.
96
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:11,002
I got two k.I.A.
97
00:06:12,973 --> 00:06:17,442
To not bring somebody home,
98
00:06:17,444 --> 00:06:20,078
That hurts, you know?
99
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:24,850
Chisholm had a wife.
High has a family.
100
00:06:27,287 --> 00:06:29,454
It wasn't like I got there
Too late.
101
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:33,392
It's -- there was no chance --
Absolutely no chance.
102
00:06:33,394 --> 00:06:36,762
And I don't know
If that hurts more or any less,
103
00:06:36,764 --> 00:06:39,664
But it certainly hurts.
104
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:41,733
It absolutely hurts.
105
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:54,679
But when it's your buddy,
It's your friend,
106
00:06:54,681 --> 00:06:56,581
It totally changes the game.
107
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:08,226
the number-one priority
Is to stabilize kyle,
108
00:07:08,228 --> 00:07:10,729
And, get him out of there.
109
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:23,675
I will not move him in an matv.
110
00:07:27,681 --> 00:07:29,114
they were debating
On whether or not
111
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:31,683
To throw me in the back
Of these matvs.
112
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:33,518
And there's bumps in the road.
It's all these things.
113
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,120
One of these little things
Could've been
114
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:38,790
What moved my spine --
My jelly spine so far
115
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,158
To where it snapped it.
116
00:07:42,396 --> 00:07:44,429
you do get mad.
117
00:07:44,431 --> 00:07:46,298
Everyone was angry.
118
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,801
And sergeant shriver
Was angry and for good reason.
119
00:08:02,216 --> 00:08:04,783
I had a lot of emotions
Going on at that time,
120
00:08:04,785 --> 00:08:09,821
But anger's
The only one I can show.
121
00:08:09,823 --> 00:08:11,556
Anger's acceptable.
122
00:08:13,894 --> 00:08:16,862
He was the only one
That had enough rank
123
00:08:16,864 --> 00:08:17,996
To make anything happen.
124
00:08:29,610 --> 00:08:31,776
I told 'em, "Fly the birds
Right next to me
125
00:08:31,778 --> 00:08:32,777
In the open field."
126
00:08:36,884 --> 00:08:39,718
It's one hell of a roar
127
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,654
From a black hawk
Medevac helicopter.
128
00:08:53,267 --> 00:08:55,600
It's basically
Angels coming down
129
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:57,168
To pick up the fallen.
130
00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:10,749
When we brought him
To that bird,
131
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:12,117
It was such a relief.
132
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:29,100
I knew
At that moment right there
133
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:30,669
That it was over for me...
134
00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:35,907
That my war was done.
135
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:46,851
I wish in everything in my heart
136
00:09:46,853 --> 00:09:49,821
That I would've seen something,
Wires or something.
137
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:54,993
Sometimes, I lay in bed,
And I scan in my head
138
00:09:54,995 --> 00:09:57,462
To try to think of,
"Did I see a wire?"
139
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:03,335
But you feel like a failure.
140
00:10:03,337 --> 00:10:05,570
I got those guys killed.
141
00:10:05,572 --> 00:10:08,607
Is that the case?
Probably not.
142
00:10:08,609 --> 00:10:10,909
But do I still feel that way?
Yeah.
143
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:12,377
I'm always gonna feel like that
144
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:14,546
No matter
What people tell me that,
145
00:10:14,548 --> 00:10:16,147
"It doesn't matter."
It does matter.
146
00:10:16,149 --> 00:10:18,883
That's the way
I'm gonna feel forever
147
00:10:18,885 --> 00:10:23,188
'cause at the end of the day,
They were my responsibility.
148
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:25,256
Now, they're not here anymore.
149
00:10:29,463 --> 00:10:31,363
hey, mccool,
Stay away from there.
150
00:10:31,365 --> 00:10:34,232
Move.
There's still wires in there.
151
00:10:35,902 --> 00:10:38,203
Watch out.
152
00:10:38,205 --> 00:10:39,771
Move.
Hey!
153
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,241
Mad dog base,
Mad dog 2-7.
154
00:10:46,513 --> 00:10:52,183
We got reports that there was
Some chatter on the,
155
00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:54,252
You know, taliban
Handheld radios
156
00:10:54,254 --> 00:10:57,555
That, um, they were
Gonna ambush us.
157
00:10:57,557 --> 00:10:59,391
Hey, prepare
For a counterattack.
158
00:10:59,393 --> 00:11:00,825
Icom traffic.
159
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:03,662
We were about to be ambushed
By a large group
160
00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:05,597
Who thinks
That they can finish us off.
161
00:11:05,599 --> 00:11:06,898
L.T.!
162
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:16,908
All right, let's go!
Come on!
163
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:18,877
it's almost like you
Wanted something to happen --
164
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:21,012
Or I did.
165
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:23,214
Because it would've given you
A chance to fight back.
166
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:24,749
- go!
- Hurry the up!
167
00:11:26,953 --> 00:11:28,720
Hurry up!
Run!
168
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,927
Out of nowhere,
They open fire on us.
169
00:11:37,764 --> 00:11:39,764
The best way to grieve
Your friend...
170
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:41,332
- Spread the out!
- Spread the out!
171
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:44,669
...Is to go out there
And kill these bastards.
172
00:11:46,339 --> 00:11:48,773
Come on!
173
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:50,642
- All right, let's go!
- Hurry the up!
174
00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:56,581
roger. Confirm.
175
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:08,026
We were extremely exposed.
176
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:09,561
If the taliban's coming
To fight
177
00:12:09,563 --> 00:12:12,630
With something more
Than small arms,
178
00:12:12,632 --> 00:12:14,999
It'll be
A very hairy situation.
179
00:12:17,804 --> 00:12:21,906
There was so much that was out
Of your control at that point.
180
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:35,487
I wasn't sure which direction
It was gonna come from.
181
00:12:41,795 --> 00:12:45,363
Mad dog 2-7, roger.
182
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:47,565
Let them come, you know?
183
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:51,503
Give me something to shoot.
Give me somebody to hurt.
184
00:12:54,541 --> 00:12:56,174
Bring it on.
We got bigger guns than you.
185
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:57,108
I guarantee it.
186
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:04,816
All right?
187
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:08,720
We're looking at the ridgeline.
188
00:13:08,722 --> 00:13:09,921
Hold.
189
00:13:09,923 --> 00:13:13,458
We're looking everywhere
To see what we can see.
190
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:18,897
one thing that we knew
We weren't gonna do
191
00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:22,267
Is move away.
192
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:26,137
We would never leave our heroes.
193
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:28,306
I mean...
194
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:32,143
Mccool, man, help me up.
195
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,878
Just keep your head down.
196
00:13:37,050 --> 00:13:37,982
Good.
197
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:46,825
Then, we, we --
We recovered ben and charlie...
198
00:13:48,628 --> 00:13:50,628
So they could have
Their hero flight.
199
00:14:00,674 --> 00:14:03,942
I took a few minutes
For myself,
200
00:14:03,944 --> 00:14:06,811
To kind of collect myself up
201
00:14:06,813 --> 00:14:11,082
And, try to process
202
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:12,684
What had just happened.
203
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:21,626
ben was
A salt-of-the-earth guy,
204
00:14:21,628 --> 00:14:25,363
Someone you could talk to
About anything, super-nice.
205
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:28,199
Charles --
Kind of a little goofy.
206
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:30,168
We definitely liked
That about him.
207
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:31,369
And he was really funny.
208
00:14:36,142 --> 00:14:37,675
they were my men.
209
00:14:37,677 --> 00:14:41,012
It angered me a lot.
210
00:14:41,014 --> 00:14:43,648
I didn't deal with it
Very well for many years,
211
00:14:46,686 --> 00:14:49,888
You know, survivor's guilt --
212
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:53,558
It wasn't till, recently
That I started getting
213
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,961
The help that I needed,
A lot of counseling.
214
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:04,502
It's still difficult.
215
00:15:04,504 --> 00:15:06,938
I don't think there was
Anybody it didn't affect.
216
00:15:15,615 --> 00:15:18,016
everyone kind of went
Into their own space
217
00:15:18,018 --> 00:15:20,985
And just kind of...
218
00:15:20,987 --> 00:15:22,921
Solemnly contemplated
What happened.
219
00:15:22,923 --> 00:15:24,889
Not a lot of us reached out
220
00:15:24,891 --> 00:15:27,659
And talked
To each other initially.
221
00:15:27,661 --> 00:15:31,796
We just kind of sat there
In shock like,
222
00:15:31,798 --> 00:15:34,933
"What just happened?"
223
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:38,436
A few hours ago, we were whole.
Now we're not.
224
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:41,239
It felt like you were
A broken family.
225
00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:46,144
There was obviously pieces
That were missing.
226
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:11,102
there is no training
For losing a brother in arms.
227
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:17,508
Can't really train
Somebody for it.
228
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:19,610
It's just
How you deal with it.
229
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:24,482
-a little turquoise crush?
-yeah, turquoise crush.
230
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:29,454
It was just like somebody
Squeezing the life out of you.
231
00:16:29,456 --> 00:16:33,358
You become so desensitized
To everything, you know,
232
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,894
To emotion, to pain, to fear.
233
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,869
But now, I realize the best way
To grieve your friend is
234
00:16:44,871 --> 00:16:48,539
To go out there and hunt
And kill these bastards.
235
00:16:53,146 --> 00:16:56,180
two weeks after
The fatal I.E.D. Attack,
236
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:58,783
Sergeant shriver's platoon
Receives orders
237
00:16:58,785 --> 00:17:01,786
To clear an emerging
Taliban stronghold
238
00:17:01,788 --> 00:17:03,788
In the village of omar.
239
00:17:14,501 --> 00:17:17,268
all the intelligence
We were getting was saying,
240
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:21,506
"The taliban's headquarters
Element had moved to omar."
241
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:29,013
Hey, l.T.
242
00:17:35,321 --> 00:17:38,022
The idea was to go in there,
243
00:17:38,024 --> 00:17:41,793
Gain a foothold, and clear out
A lot of the weapons
244
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:45,129
That were being used against us
On literally a daily basis.
245
00:17:48,968 --> 00:17:51,969
after the 17th
Of august, I think --
246
00:17:51,971 --> 00:17:53,704
I think a lot of us got angry.
247
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:56,974
And we knew we were preparing
For more than just patrol.
248
00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:59,077
We were preparing
For a true fight.
249
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:07,952
we established ourself
In one of the buildings.
250
00:18:07,954 --> 00:18:10,221
there was no other
Friendly element
251
00:18:10,223 --> 00:18:12,190
That was more south than us.
252
00:18:12,192 --> 00:18:15,259
So anybody that was
Out there was taliban.
253
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,562
And we were trying to kill them.
254
00:18:26,739 --> 00:18:29,373
it's quiet.
255
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:34,779
I was on the lower
Terrace of this mud hut.
256
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:38,416
We were going to see an enemy
We haven't seen yet
257
00:18:38,418 --> 00:18:42,220
And in numbers
We haven't seen yet.
258
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:46,657
I was anticipating multiple
Casualties within my platoon.
259
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,466
You were always on guard.
260
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:58,302
So I was looking
Down in the valley.
261
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:02,373
All right,
What are they doing?
262
00:19:02,375 --> 00:19:04,442
Coming up
With some kind of plan.
263
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:30,201
I scanned with my thermals.
264
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:39,911
I could see a lot
Of military-age males looking,
265
00:19:39,913 --> 00:19:41,879
Trying to figure out
What we were doing.
266
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:07,805
You know, there was a sniper
Somewhere down there.
267
00:20:23,656 --> 00:20:26,257
Watch out!
268
00:20:36,419 --> 00:20:38,753
Out of nowhere,
They opened fire on us.
269
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:57,738
we hit the ground
And tried to figure out
270
00:20:57,740 --> 00:21:00,074
What was even happening.
271
00:21:00,076 --> 00:21:02,209
It seemed like two or three
Different positions
272
00:21:02,211 --> 00:21:04,278
At the same time,
And it was accurate.
273
00:21:20,797 --> 00:21:22,263
They know where we're at.
274
00:21:32,342 --> 00:21:34,675
-it impacted right there.
-hit that ridgeline
275
00:21:34,677 --> 00:21:36,143
I was shooting at.
276
00:21:45,822 --> 00:21:49,023
We wanted you to shoot at us.
277
00:21:49,025 --> 00:21:52,526
You shoot at us,
We're gonna kill you.
278
00:21:55,865 --> 00:21:57,498
I'm a very religious person.
279
00:21:57,500 --> 00:21:59,867
But these people are trying
To kill you and your men,
280
00:21:59,869 --> 00:22:01,569
So you kill them.
281
00:22:09,445 --> 00:22:11,746
What?
282
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,081
stop, man!
Somebody else is hit!
283
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:15,282
we hear yelling.
284
00:22:15,284 --> 00:22:17,818
And we were trying
To figure out what it was.
285
00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:19,887
-what's up?
-we got two hits!
286
00:22:19,889 --> 00:22:21,689
Two casualties!
-what?
287
00:22:21,691 --> 00:22:23,624
two casualties!
288
00:22:23,626 --> 00:22:26,460
Yeah, man!
Somebody else is hit!
289
00:22:26,462 --> 00:22:28,029
Down below.
290
00:22:28,031 --> 00:22:30,331
Go.
Two casualties.
291
00:22:30,333 --> 00:22:33,234
Hey, not everybody.
Not everybody.
292
00:22:33,236 --> 00:22:35,936
in a gun fight,
If we take a casualty,
293
00:22:35,938 --> 00:22:37,772
Normally they're gonna be
Yelling, "Medic,"
294
00:22:37,774 --> 00:22:39,507
Or they're gonna be yelling,
"Doc."
295
00:22:39,509 --> 00:22:41,142
And they weren't yelling
Either of them.
296
00:22:43,212 --> 00:22:45,279
They were yelling for me.
297
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:49,250
-hey, sarge?
-I'm the backup medic.
298
00:22:49,252 --> 00:22:50,918
-in the crate.
-someone gonna come help us,
299
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,553
Or what?
300
00:22:53,756 --> 00:22:55,623
And I knew at that second,
301
00:22:55,625 --> 00:22:57,425
When I heard my name,
302
00:22:57,427 --> 00:23:00,761
I knew doc shreeve was
A casualty.
303
00:23:00,763 --> 00:23:03,264
what's up?
304
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:06,133
My arm!
305
00:23:07,770 --> 00:23:09,870
Bullets could be
Snapping over my head.
306
00:23:09,872 --> 00:23:12,173
They'd be hitting the ground.
307
00:23:12,175 --> 00:23:13,407
And I wasn't scared.
308
00:23:17,413 --> 00:23:21,282
but when I was called
To help doc shreeve,
309
00:23:21,284 --> 00:23:27,955
That wasn't something
That I was comfortable with.
310
00:23:27,957 --> 00:23:30,758
all right.
You guys got the miss on it?
311
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,226
No, we just
Put the seal on it.
312
00:23:32,228 --> 00:23:34,228
-where's the neck?
-right on the side.
313
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:35,296
all right,
Come here, doc.
314
00:23:35,298 --> 00:23:36,363
Let me see it, brother.
315
00:23:36,365 --> 00:23:38,299
Okay, okay, don't move.
Don't move.
316
00:23:38,301 --> 00:23:40,901
All right, you know what?
Lay him down.
317
00:23:40,903 --> 00:23:42,269
Lay on your --
Lay on your stomach.
318
00:23:42,271 --> 00:23:44,672
When I saw the bullet wound
In his neck,
319
00:23:44,674 --> 00:23:46,540
It stopped me in my tracks.
320
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:55,349
I mean, you have everything
From your airway
321
00:23:55,351 --> 00:23:58,252
To your arteries
And your spine.
322
00:23:58,254 --> 00:24:01,322
You know, there's multiple,
Multiple ways that you can die
323
00:24:01,324 --> 00:24:02,356
From getting shot in the neck.
324
00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:04,191
tell them
To conserver their ammo!
325
00:24:04,193 --> 00:24:06,794
92 over 58.
326
00:24:09,298 --> 00:24:11,232
I'd been sent
To a medical class
327
00:24:11,234 --> 00:24:12,933
Before we deployed.
328
00:24:12,935 --> 00:24:15,236
But my job was to shoot guns.
329
00:24:15,238 --> 00:24:18,305
My job wasn't to be
A platoon line medic.
330
00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:25,746
We were his life line.
331
00:24:25,748 --> 00:24:29,383
Normally, doc shreeve,
He's our life line.
332
00:24:29,385 --> 00:24:33,687
But now, my buddy's life is
In my hands.
333
00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:38,425
There's no scarier feeling
Than the fear
334
00:24:38,427 --> 00:24:41,095
Of not being able
To save that person.
335
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,100
I need
somebody to help take a look.
336
00:24:49,372 --> 00:24:53,874
That fear of not being able
To, you know, help him, um,
337
00:24:53,876 --> 00:24:57,044
The best I could...
338
00:24:57,046 --> 00:24:59,280
It opened my eyes.
339
00:24:59,282 --> 00:25:00,948
I want to help people.
340
00:25:00,950 --> 00:25:03,317
I want to be that person
That somebody's looking at
341
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:08,923
When they're in danger
Or when they're hurt.
342
00:25:08,925 --> 00:25:13,694
So that whole mission
Really kind of set the pace
343
00:25:13,696 --> 00:25:14,628
For the rest of my life.
344
00:25:19,335 --> 00:25:21,869
I had seen his exit wound
On his back.
345
00:25:21,871 --> 00:25:26,073
And I stuck a chest seal
On him which does two things.
346
00:25:26,075 --> 00:25:27,942
It's gonna stop the bleeding.
347
00:25:27,944 --> 00:25:32,846
And it's gonna prevent any air
To escape out of the back
348
00:25:32,848 --> 00:25:35,349
In case his lung was punctured.
349
00:25:41,324 --> 00:25:42,656
I'm gonna lay down.
350
00:25:42,658 --> 00:25:48,062
I could feel
The blood from my neck.
351
00:25:48,064 --> 00:25:50,097
Um...
352
00:25:50,099 --> 00:25:53,133
It was -- it was warm.
It was --
353
00:25:53,135 --> 00:25:55,135
I had dirt in my mouth.
354
00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:56,971
I was struggling to breathe.
355
00:25:59,642 --> 00:26:03,177
It felt like a hot knife had
Just pierced through my body.
356
00:26:03,179 --> 00:26:05,379
You're hanging on right here.
357
00:26:11,821 --> 00:26:13,821
And you could tell
He was scared --
358
00:26:13,823 --> 00:26:14,989
And rightfully so.
359
00:26:19,262 --> 00:26:22,730
Um, I could feel
The tension building
360
00:26:22,732 --> 00:26:24,698
In my jugular vein.
361
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:28,602
And I I knew
What was happening to me.
362
00:26:38,147 --> 00:26:40,447
I knew my lung
Was going to collapse.
363
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,221
And if that was to happen,
I knew it was
364
00:26:47,223 --> 00:26:51,058
Only a matter of time
Before I stopped breathing.
365
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:52,259
our other casualty,
You know,
366
00:26:52,261 --> 00:26:55,229
He was shot in the hand.
He was gonna be fine.
367
00:26:55,231 --> 00:26:56,964
Shreeve was shot in the neck.
368
00:26:59,669 --> 00:27:00,768
I told sergeant shriver,
369
00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:03,003
"We need to get
The...Out of here."
370
00:27:07,576 --> 00:27:09,510
I'm
The radiotelephone operator.
371
00:27:09,512 --> 00:27:15,115
And I now had to call in
For a medevac
372
00:27:15,117 --> 00:27:17,851
To get a helicopter to come out.
373
00:27:17,853 --> 00:27:20,020
They need answers
To questions.
374
00:27:25,094 --> 00:27:27,828
And one of those is,
"Is the l.Z. Secure?"
375
00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:29,830
And in this case, it wasn't.
376
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:08,869
the area we were in was
A non-stop gunfight.
377
00:28:08,871 --> 00:28:11,739
And a medevac helicopter isn't
Gonna land
378
00:28:11,741 --> 00:28:13,640
In the middle of a gunfight.
379
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:19,913
So, now my buddy's life's
In my hands.
380
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,720
who's got
The writing?
381
00:28:26,722 --> 00:28:31,592
Every breath I took,
More pressure was on my lung.
382
00:28:31,594 --> 00:28:34,228
Time is not on your side.
383
00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:36,563
And it definitely scared me.
384
00:28:42,238 --> 00:28:48,575
I had to coordinate
With awt to do some gun runs.
385
00:28:48,577 --> 00:28:51,612
It takes a lot of work
To coordinate,
386
00:28:51,614 --> 00:28:53,313
And it's pretty stressful.
387
00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:10,564
doc shreeve was still
In a lot of pain,
388
00:29:10,566 --> 00:29:16,837
So I asked him if he wanted
The last ampule of morphine.
389
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:21,508
And, he said,
"No, keep it.
390
00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:23,010
Someone else might get hit."
391
00:29:25,014 --> 00:29:26,747
That's just
The kind of guy he is.
392
00:29:26,749 --> 00:29:29,883
So he stayed and suffered.
393
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:39,359
Okay, where's
Your stethoscope at, brother?
394
00:29:39,361 --> 00:29:41,462
Yep, that's
What I'm doing right --
395
00:29:43,732 --> 00:29:45,966
he's able to have
The strength to stay conscious.
396
00:29:45,968 --> 00:29:48,602
He was with it.
He was treating himself.
397
00:29:48,604 --> 00:29:50,404
It was just literally amazing.
398
00:29:56,278 --> 00:29:58,111
all right.
399
00:29:58,113 --> 00:30:00,214
Yeah, it's gonna suck ass, dude.
400
00:30:04,687 --> 00:30:06,587
We got word that, you know,
401
00:30:06,589 --> 00:30:10,190
A medevac bird was
Finally coming in.
402
00:30:10,192 --> 00:30:11,725
Omar was still hot.
403
00:30:11,727 --> 00:30:15,529
But they had
Finally gotten an escort --
404
00:30:15,531 --> 00:30:19,066
Attack helicopters
To come with the medevac birds.
405
00:30:25,608 --> 00:30:27,908
We got him packaged up,
And we started moving him.
406
00:30:32,248 --> 00:30:36,583
we found a landing zone,
And it wasn't ideal.
407
00:30:36,585 --> 00:30:40,254
We would have
To carry him 150 yards
408
00:30:40,256 --> 00:30:43,423
To get him up these six-
To eight-foot terraces
409
00:30:43,425 --> 00:30:46,827
With fire coming in nonstop.
410
00:30:56,105 --> 00:31:00,440
Hey, you guys ready?
411
00:31:00,442 --> 00:31:02,442
What do you say?
Bring him out?
412
00:31:02,444 --> 00:31:04,678
all right.
Legs down lower.
413
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,680
Legs lower.
Let's go.
414
00:31:09,385 --> 00:31:11,852
It wasn't a safe l.Z.
415
00:31:11,854 --> 00:31:15,122
And we still were
Receiving incoming.
416
00:31:18,294 --> 00:31:20,594
It would kind of be
Up to the pilot's discretion
417
00:31:20,596 --> 00:31:22,896
At this point
If they were going to land.
418
00:31:22,898 --> 00:31:26,133
how you feeling, doc?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.
419
00:31:26,135 --> 00:31:29,903
I kind of just became at peace
420
00:31:29,905 --> 00:31:33,407
And accepted what I thought
Was going to be my fate.
421
00:31:33,409 --> 00:31:37,277
I thought that I probably
Was gonna die.
422
00:31:40,716 --> 00:31:42,149
You got it?
423
00:31:43,686 --> 00:31:46,987
You sure?
424
00:31:46,989 --> 00:31:48,422
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, easy, easy.
425
00:31:48,424 --> 00:31:49,356
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
426
00:31:52,194 --> 00:31:57,064
Who's at my head?
Back off.
427
00:31:57,066 --> 00:31:58,865
somebody grab his
Other side.
428
00:31:58,867 --> 00:32:00,233
Grab it while I jump down.
429
00:32:00,235 --> 00:32:02,069
I just was
Kind of, like, looking up.
430
00:32:02,071 --> 00:32:05,539
And all I could see was
Just the bright sky.
431
00:32:08,811 --> 00:32:11,411
-let him down just a bit.
-just do it.
432
00:32:11,413 --> 00:32:13,747
Somebody grab
His head too, dude.
433
00:32:18,587 --> 00:32:21,288
Those experiences happened
To me, and, you know,
434
00:32:21,290 --> 00:32:25,492
They still give me
Some heartache.
435
00:32:25,494 --> 00:32:27,527
You see old war movies
And, you know,
436
00:32:27,529 --> 00:32:29,896
The guys get shot up.
437
00:32:29,898 --> 00:32:32,499
They don't call for mom.
They call for the medic.
438
00:32:32,501 --> 00:32:35,802
And I wanted to know
If I was capable of that.
439
00:32:37,673 --> 00:32:39,873
I'm trying really hard
To, you know,
440
00:32:39,875 --> 00:32:43,243
Accept what happened
And to be able to move on
441
00:32:43,245 --> 00:32:45,612
And not to forget --
442
00:32:45,614 --> 00:32:49,816
Definitely never forget.
443
00:32:49,818 --> 00:32:51,351
When I was shot,
444
00:32:51,353 --> 00:32:55,722
I felt really sorry
For myself for a long time.
445
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:58,992
I was always angry.
I, um, hated the world.
446
00:32:58,994 --> 00:33:00,661
I was such a shut-in.
447
00:33:02,164 --> 00:33:04,197
No, we got
To have his head up.
448
00:33:06,268 --> 00:33:07,534
Rotate his legs this way.
449
00:33:07,536 --> 00:33:11,004
there's a small
Part of you that's scared.
450
00:33:11,006 --> 00:33:15,175
But that fear is
What drives you
451
00:33:15,177 --> 00:33:17,244
To function as a platoon.
452
00:33:17,246 --> 00:33:19,312
-keep moving down this way.
-get the other side.
453
00:33:19,314 --> 00:33:21,548
-come on. Keep moving.
-hurry up. Let's go.
454
00:33:21,550 --> 00:33:24,484
Not for a second would
Any of those guys question
455
00:33:24,486 --> 00:33:27,254
Carrying a brother
Who's been wounded.
456
00:33:29,525 --> 00:33:33,160
That's the bond of brothers.
That's the bond that's shared.
457
00:33:40,069 --> 00:33:41,802
-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-don't let his feet down.
458
00:33:41,804 --> 00:33:43,970
Lift up!
-lift his head up!
459
00:33:43,972 --> 00:33:45,906
Hey!
460
00:33:59,521 --> 00:34:02,456
- come on, guys, work in here.
461
00:34:06,462 --> 00:34:08,395
I got him.
462
00:34:14,169 --> 00:34:16,436
I'm good, dude.
I'm good now.
463
00:34:26,014 --> 00:34:28,849
We get word from one
Of the escort helicopters.
464
00:34:28,851 --> 00:34:31,384
There's a fighter in the corn
Who's in the prone.
465
00:34:31,386 --> 00:34:34,187
He has a weapon.
466
00:34:34,189 --> 00:34:37,023
He's 100 meters from the l.Z.
467
00:34:37,025 --> 00:34:39,092
100 meters south.
468
00:34:39,094 --> 00:34:40,861
You guys tracking?
-what?
469
00:34:40,863 --> 00:34:42,262
there's a dude
In the prone 100 meters
470
00:34:42,264 --> 00:34:44,164
To the south of here.
471
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:47,134
-in the prone 100 meters south?
-yeah.
472
00:34:47,136 --> 00:34:49,770
the taliban knew
Where we were.
473
00:34:49,772 --> 00:34:53,240
They had zeroed in on us.
474
00:34:54,743 --> 00:34:55,675
hey!
475
00:34:57,513 --> 00:35:00,413
Come on, guys! Work in here!
- hurry the up. Let's go.
476
00:35:00,415 --> 00:35:04,084
Hey, guys, take that.
477
00:35:04,086 --> 00:35:06,253
shreeve's neck was
Swelling so bad,
478
00:35:06,255 --> 00:35:08,455
We were worried
It was gonna close his airway.
479
00:35:10,325 --> 00:35:12,325
If his airway closed...
480
00:35:14,830 --> 00:35:16,463
I don't know.
481
00:35:16,465 --> 00:35:17,831
I would've had
To cut his neck open
482
00:35:17,833 --> 00:35:19,466
And stick a tube in his throat.
483
00:35:19,468 --> 00:35:22,335
-go down a little bit.
-you know, I had seen it
484
00:35:22,337 --> 00:35:24,237
In a slide show --
485
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,439
Nothing I ever practiced.
486
00:35:27,609 --> 00:35:29,476
It scared the out of me.
487
00:35:29,478 --> 00:35:31,711
all right, we set?
We'll hand him up there.
488
00:35:31,713 --> 00:35:33,713
Hold on a second.
-we're taking one more air.
489
00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:43,590
There's a fighter in the corn
Who's in the prone.
490
00:35:43,592 --> 00:35:45,125
He has a weapon.
491
00:35:45,127 --> 00:35:49,563
He's 100 meters from the l.Z.
492
00:35:49,565 --> 00:35:52,165
So I pick up a mark 46.
493
00:35:52,167 --> 00:35:54,501
Hey, you guys, get down!
494
00:35:54,503 --> 00:35:58,104
Get down!
Get down!
495
00:35:58,106 --> 00:36:00,373
That guy should move
If he's alive.
496
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,609
He should move. He should roll.
He should do something.
497
00:36:15,858 --> 00:36:17,524
He didn't move.
498
00:36:17,526 --> 00:36:18,925
He didn't move at all.
499
00:36:20,796 --> 00:36:22,262
We're good!
500
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:23,430
All right.
Ready?
501
00:36:23,432 --> 00:36:25,765
one, two, three.
502
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:27,200
Sorry, doc.
503
00:36:28,170 --> 00:36:30,437
-whoa!
504
00:36:32,407 --> 00:36:35,208
Watch out.
505
00:36:40,949 --> 00:36:42,582
get down!
Get down!
506
00:36:42,584 --> 00:36:45,252
- Spread the out!
- Spread the out!
507
00:37:02,404 --> 00:37:03,536
you got an acog?
508
00:37:03,538 --> 00:37:05,639
hey, we just confirmed
With dust off.
509
00:37:05,641 --> 00:37:07,874
this whole time,
We're still getting shot at.
510
00:37:07,876 --> 00:37:09,509
You know,
We're still returning fire.
511
00:37:10,879 --> 00:37:13,213
you, taliban.
512
00:37:13,215 --> 00:37:14,481
We had to make it work
513
00:37:14,483 --> 00:37:17,918
Because otherwise
He wasn't getting out.
514
00:37:23,592 --> 00:37:26,026
this mad dog 2-7, roger.
We're gonna pop a smoke.
515
00:37:26,028 --> 00:37:27,894
Time now -- red smoke.
516
00:37:27,896 --> 00:37:29,562
Pick him up.
517
00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:44,311
At the top of that terrace --
518
00:37:44,313 --> 00:37:47,414
Absolutely no cover, zero cover.
519
00:37:54,556 --> 00:37:56,923
We know that
There's enemy in the corn.
520
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,040
that helicopter is
A sitting duck.
521
00:38:18,747 --> 00:38:22,482
one of the flight medics
Got off and started firing
522
00:38:22,484 --> 00:38:25,452
Because it wasn't a safe area.
523
00:38:45,407 --> 00:38:47,240
Once I was in the helicopter,
524
00:38:47,242 --> 00:38:48,608
I could let go.
525
00:38:48,610 --> 00:38:53,513
I felt the safest I had felt
In a very, very long time.
526
00:38:53,515 --> 00:38:57,150
cease fire!
Cease fire!
527
00:38:57,152 --> 00:39:00,920
Whether you're religious or not,
They're flying angels for sure.
528
00:39:07,462 --> 00:39:10,263
I've lost quite a bit
Of motor function
529
00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:12,899
And strength in my hand.
530
00:39:15,003 --> 00:39:16,770
Being told
That I was no longer able
531
00:39:16,772 --> 00:39:19,639
To do the job I love --
You know, I was a medic.
532
00:39:19,641 --> 00:39:23,877
That was me, and I kind of had
To totally rearrange
533
00:39:23,879 --> 00:39:26,012
Every hope and dream
I had had
534
00:39:26,014 --> 00:39:28,114
Since pretty --
You know, pretty early on.
535
00:39:28,116 --> 00:39:31,418
-whoosh!
-here we go!
536
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:32,685
He's an interesting
Individual.
537
00:39:32,687 --> 00:39:34,554
starting a family
Was never something
538
00:39:34,556 --> 00:39:36,289
I thought I was gonna be
Able to do afterwards.
539
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:38,525
--having my little girl
540
00:39:38,527 --> 00:39:42,429
Has given me something
To look forward to.
541
00:39:42,431 --> 00:39:46,032
I have a future now,
Where, for the longest time,
542
00:39:46,034 --> 00:39:48,268
I didn't feel I had a future.
543
00:39:51,406 --> 00:39:53,339
She's given me, again,
544
00:39:53,341 --> 00:39:56,443
Another opportunity
To care for somebody.
545
00:39:57,746 --> 00:39:59,913
I don't think
I'll ever do anything
546
00:39:59,915 --> 00:40:02,749
that was as meaningful
Than that mission.
547
00:40:02,751 --> 00:40:05,385
Because when doc shreeve
Was hit,
548
00:40:05,387 --> 00:40:09,756
It was definitely
A turning point in my life.
549
00:40:09,758 --> 00:40:13,126
Because, in the future,
If another person is hurt,
550
00:40:13,128 --> 00:40:17,163
I didn't want to have that fear
Of not being able to help 'em.
551
00:40:17,165 --> 00:40:18,631
So when I got out of the army,
552
00:40:18,633 --> 00:40:21,868
I went to school to be
An emergency medical technician,
553
00:40:21,870 --> 00:40:25,205
And I went on to become
A fire fighter.
554
00:40:25,207 --> 00:40:27,307
It's probably the most
Important thing in life
555
00:40:27,309 --> 00:40:29,209
Is helping somebody
At a time of need.
556
00:40:43,191 --> 00:40:45,325
The enemy were becoming
More aggressive.
557
00:40:49,998 --> 00:40:51,264
Got it!
558
00:40:51,266 --> 00:40:54,834
You literally felt like
The fish in the barrel.
559
00:40:58,507 --> 00:41:01,207
people start to get cocky
And feel that little sense of,
560
00:41:01,209 --> 00:41:02,475
"I'm invincible," you know,
561
00:41:02,477 --> 00:41:07,046
"They can't take me out"
And stuff."
562
00:41:07,048 --> 00:41:12,719
I was gonna go to the next cave
And not even think about it.
563
00:41:12,721 --> 00:41:16,156
we're only eight people on
The ground with one machine gun.
