The Seals and Chapman landed on this mountaintop in order to recover a lost Seal that fell from a Chinook after an RPG strike. To say shucks hit the fan after they touched down is an understatement. I had never seen this video with the new angles and commentary until the other day.

My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends! If being a dumbass was fatal some of you would be on your death bed!

What a hero though! They were fighting above 10,000 feet on a mountain and "they" had done a full recon on the area with a spectre gunship just prior and reported zero enemy resistance. It was a big surprise to them when a few dozen al-qaeda fighters popped out of nowhere. A lot of lessons were learned that day.
