Not even sure if any of of the soldiers in this video will see this, but through tears streaming down my face after watching this...thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Not only for your sacrifice that day, but for every day since. I can only imagine what this and every encounter during your time of service has imprinted on you. YOU are the reason that this country exists with all that we are allowed to do and be. YOU are the backbone of our freedom.
I flew into Keating back in 2008, I was dropping off equipment for the S6. I was told I would have only a few minutes to do what I needed or I would be left behind. As I worked with the S6 Soldier, I looked around and at the mountains all around me. I never felt so small in my life. During my deployment in 2007/2008, I was deployed with Joshua Kirk. He was an amazing Soldier, he was a great leader and did everything for his Soldiers. He was killed during this battle.
Hearing that boom from the support must have been one of the best feelings for these guys. Thank you to every soldier who served.
I was in the Air Force and deployed during this battle and could hear all of the air craft leaving the air strip in a hurry to provide them air support. At the time, I never knew what was going on but I knew something big was happening. Only years later did I find out what was happening and wow, these men are absolute heroes and deserve more recognition!!!!
I’m a civilian. I have no military experience, but I read and watch a lot that is written by veterans. For some reason, this battle just hits harder than those of some of the other wars that I’ve looked into. I’m in awe of the will, resilience and shared determination of everyone on the ground that day. And frankly there are just not enough words to describe how I feel when I read and watch about this day, so I can’t imagine how each one of you feel when you retail and think of your experience. Much love to all of you and thank you for your sacrifice.
the outpost was such a good movie and then to find out at the end that some of the guys in that fight were acting in the movie just hit hard. like these heros relived this battle so the story could be told the right way.
As a infantryman and just a regular Grunt/army guy it's good to finally see the Regular army guys getting some credit. I love special operations and everything that they do but we emphasize on them too much and never acknowledge the regular guys who were there too.
I am a Vietnam Veteran. We tried to put all our outpost on the top of the mountains. Of course our mountains were not nearly as tall as yours but they were covered in green stuff. I am glad all of you made it home, hope all of you are well.
God bless you all that served The Battle of Kamdesh...with love from Australia. I watched a cried for you brave soldiers and you are our brothers in arms, always!
You hv no idea how much I respect and honor each and everyone of you ! I am 66 a retired Police Sergeant with multiple men that worked for me who were combat vets coming out of that War. Army Rangers, Army QRT, Marines, Navy Core men, Seals, Paratroopers, Para Rescue, Green Berets, Green Team, I think I had everyone except Delta ? I am free , enjoying the Life of an American because God gave us thee best Warriors! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!
The thing that most impresses me the most about all of these documentaries is the fact that these guys a lot of them were in the early 20s. I mean these guys were fighting for their lives and fighting for their brother while some of the people the same age haven't even graduated college or moved out on their own. I have nothing but pure respect for all of these warriors and heroes and I can only imagine the trauma afterwards that they go through with the mental battle as well as the physical scars.
well done BRC - appreciate y’all treating Faulkners memory as such. he was a good soldier and a dear friend on two deployments
Brad was one of my football coaches in high school. Great guy. Thank you for your service.
One of my Favorite Movies. And to hear it from the real guys makes it more special. 💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m from Nebraska…. Thank you for your service. And for the ones who didn’t come home we miss you. The fact that they all got sad talking about the brothers they lost not the wounds they encountered.
My dad served during this time , and our neighbor on Ft Carson housing across from us was a survivor of this camp just before this battle. Thank you for your service and sacrifices.
Served 4 Years In the US Army Infantry. Never Had a Combat Deployment. Just a Training Deployment to Europe. I could not Imagine what these guys went through. Highest Of Respect to my brothers. 🇺🇸
Man... just found this. I was at BariKot, (13 miles from Kamdesh) on an OGA assignment, while the battle was taking place. I had the latest on the amount of insurgent in the area and was as prepared as possible with the commandos i had. To hear the radio calls from Kamdesh were chilling and terrifying while they were in the heat of battle. Those brave soldiers will never be forgotten for their sacrifice and fearless valor, proud of all of them!
True warriors. Thank you guys and rest in peace to all the ones that couldn’t come home. Thank you🇺🇸
