We're looking for you. 176 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: For so many years, Democrats have said, we're not trying 177 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: to recruit people to come here, We're not encouraging them. 178 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: To come here. We want to support the law. We 179 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: believe in the law. But it wasn't until the law 180 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: was actually being enforced and the border was closed that 181 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: they've been forced to say no, no, no, you're right, 182 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: we do want illegal aliens to come here. We do 183 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: want to replace you. You know, there is a Netflix 184 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: video it just posted this week and it's about the 185 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: seven seven. So we have nine to eleven, they have 186 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: seven seven in England and it's about Muslim terrorists blowing up, 187 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: killing at one point fifty two people and themselves four 188 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: more in the Tube in London, the Metro, the underground 189 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: subway station, and then they followed it up with more attacks. 190 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: And the film is about the terror attacks and how 191 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: these young Muslim men were radicalized. These were young muslimmen 192 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: who were born in England, who had every opportunity, who 193 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: grew up with all the benefits and privileges of being 194 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: British citizens, and yet they decided to fall under the 195 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: tutelage of Pakistani imams. They would take trips to Pakistan, 196 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: which they had never visited before. They would go through 197 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: these camps and they would come back and then they 198 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: would set up bombs to kill as many British people 199 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: as they possibly could. And so the British people are 200 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: frustrated and they're talking through this, and you wonder, and 201 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: Christopher Hitchins used to say this, if you never allowed 202 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: a single person in, would you have these terror attacks? 203 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: We agree to allow in people that would now create 204 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: terror attacks, drive drunk and kill our people, traffic children, 205 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: traffic drugs, set up medicare scams. Where was the point 206 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: because that offer wasn't made. You can take in all 207 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: these people, but you're also going to have this downside. Well, 208 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: we didn't make that decision. We didn't choose not to 209 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: enforce our laws. America's laws with regard to illegal immigration 210 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: didn't change. Seven hundred people yesterday became legal citizens of 211 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: the United States, representing seventy three countries. We make more 212 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: people citizens of our country, with every right, with every privilege, 213 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: than all other countries in the world do in theirs. 214 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: We have nothing to be ashamed of. We have shared 215 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: everything we have built, and over the course of our existence, 216 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: allowed others to come here and enjoy it and contribute 217 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: to it and be part of it and be considered 218 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: full Americans. But there came a point in time where 219 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: some well intentioned people and some people with evil intentions 220 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: made a match to open our borders, to encourage illegal immigration, 221 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: to reward illegal immigration, to refuse to stop illegal immigration. 222 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: And we are at a point now where we are 223 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: witnessing what happens the deportations that we're witnessing. Tom Holman 224 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: says that he and his wife are not able to 225 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: live together right now because he is so afraid of 226 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: the death threats against their family. 227 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 11: My wife's lives separately from you right now, mainly because 228 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 11: I worked for many hours, but mostly because of the 229 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 11: death threats against me and I actually someplace else. I 230 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 11: serious one second, but the death threats against me and 231 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 11: my family outrageous. So from the boys both growing up, 232 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 11: one followed my footstep, shuttle this. One other wants to 233 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 11: bankrupt me in college. 234 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: What kind of people are we allowing into our country 235 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: that are now placing death threats on our leaders? 236 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 5: Allow me to do. 237 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: My name is MITCHA. 238 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: Michael Berry genius. 239 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Twenty years ago, George W. Bush was the president. A 240 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: lot of folks you and I knew were serving in 241 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan. The death toll was disturbing every community 242 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: in the country. Was affected. Mind how things have changed 243 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: in twenty years. I never forget the first reference I 244 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: heard to Loan Survivor. My brother Chris had read the 245 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: book and he said, have you read this book Loan Survivor? 246 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 11: You know? 247 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: He said, do you know who Marcus A. Trellis said, 248 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't. She's written this book called Loan Survivor. Okay, 249 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: it's about they went in Operation Red Wings. They went 250 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: into Afghanistan, and he's the only one who came out. 251 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: It's a story, man, Wow, it is. Wow, it is. 252 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: It's incredible, it's disturbing. Then they make the movie. Then 253 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: we get to meet Marcus. Then we develop a friendship, 254 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: and a lot has happened in those twenty years. It's 255 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: time to revisit that twenty years later.

We actually grew 312 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 4: up with his daughter. We were in the same grade, 313 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 4: and he would come into the high school and work 314 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 4: the kids out in the gym, and then he had 315 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 4: a reputation for training young men to go into the military, 316 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 4: into the special forces. They was Billy. So we got 317 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 4: the courage to go ask him to train us. I 318 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: mean I walked up on him. I'll never get it, 319 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 4: and caught him during dinner time, got peace fried chicken 320 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 4: in his hand and he's like, what do you knock 321 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 4: over the door. He's like, what do you want? And 322 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 4: I was like, well, sir, we want to be Navy seals. 323 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 4: We heard you train people to do that, and I 324 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 4: was wondering if you would train us. Kind of looked 325 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 4: at me for a little bit, and I had some 326 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: buddies with me, looked over my shoulder, and he told 327 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 4: us four to thirty tomorrow and he slammed the door 328 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 4: in our face. So we left and then the next 329 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 4: day we showed up at four thirty. Matter of fact, 330 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 4: this is my first life lesson that I ever got 331 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 4: taught with him kind of stands true to this very day. 332 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: You know, someone tells you to be somewhere at a 333 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: certain time, you're always fifteen minutes early. When we were, 334 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: we showed up at four thirty, which is not on time. 335 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: And he man, he was out there waiting on us. 336 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 4: I remember running up to the yard and he was 337 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 4: pointing at us and at the ground. He's pointing at 338 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 4: his watching at us and at the ground. And then 339 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 4: when we got within the yard that he was cussing 340 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 4: us up one side and down the other. 341 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 5: I mean good. You know, some people just have a 342 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 5: gift for profanity. He does. 343 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 4: He has that, and they can apply it in certain 344 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 4: ways and when it and then it's really really impactful. 345 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 4: I still remember it. I mean, bro, this is over 346 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 4: twenty years ago. And he stopped us in the street 347 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 4: and he drew a line in the dirt with the 348 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: head with his bootheel, and he said, every day you 349 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 4: come here, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you to cross 350 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 4: this line. He goes, what you're wanting to do and 351 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 4: where you're. 352 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 5: Going is a voluntary program. 353 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 4: Any time on he goes, you should probably quar right now, 354 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 4: because if you cross this line, I'm gonna I'm gonna 355 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 4: beat you. I'm gonna do everything I can to break you. 356 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: He's like, I'm not your mother. I don't care whether 357 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 4: you live or die. And he said, when a man 358 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 4: goes to war, his brain turns the water and runs 359 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 4: out of his ears, and all he has to go 360 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 4: on is instinct. And the guy to the right and 361 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 4: the left of him, he's like, if you want a 362 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: little bit of that across the line. At that age, 363 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 4: you know you're invincible still. I mean you you walk 364 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 4: around with immortality. 365 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 5: You can feel it. When you're that age. Everything heals 366 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 5: up the way it's supposed to. So we did. 367 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 4: We crossed the line, and I remember he dropped us 368 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: down to do some push ups. He's like, everybody on 369 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 4: your face doing three hundred push ups for being late. 370 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 4: And that's not a lot of push ups. But if 371 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 4: you got some guys who aren't in shape, you're gonna 372 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 4: be paying the man. So that's kind of what happened 373 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 4: to us. He started matching the deck, going down, up 374 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 4: and down. 375 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 5: And we got out of sink. He started a teeter 376 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: totter a little bit, and he stopped us. And I'll 377 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 5: never forget he. 378 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 4: Goes, you know, as a team, you're gonna go down together, 379 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: and you're gonna come up together. 380 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 5: You're gonna live together, and you're gonna die together. He goes, 381 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 5: you're not a team. 382 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 6: Start over. 383 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 4: And that's how it started for us. And he just 384 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 4: from that moment on he waved into us pretty hard. 385 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 4: I remember we we probably got an hour into it. 386 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 4: A couple of hours into it. We couldn't get those 387 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 4: push ups down. And he got so sick and tired 388 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: of us that he kicked us off his property. 389 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 5: He's like, go home. He goes, you're. 390 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 4: You're you know you you're a disgrace to your family. 391 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: He goes, when you get home, walk right up to 392 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 4: your dad and punch him in the faith and tell 393 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 4: him to start over because he left up on you. 394 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 5: And uh, he said. 395 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 4: If you want to do this again tomorrow, show up 396 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 4: on time. Don't ever be late. My time is the 397 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: one thing I can't control. I don't have any bearing 398 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 4: over it, so I'm not gonna waste it on you. 399 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: If you're not gonna you're not gonna show up on time. 400 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 5: And that was the first lesson he taught me and 401 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: all of us actually. 402 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: Kind of how much how much older than you is? 403 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 5: Morgan seven minutes. 404 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: Oh that makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it. 405 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 5: It would have been back in the day it'd been 406 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 5: to King. 407 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: Marcus Patrel is our guests, we're going to Afghanistan and 408 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: Operation Red Wings and Loan Survivor and all of that 409 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: coming up. 410 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 6: Well, well, well, lucky you. 411 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 5: The Michael Ferry Show continues. 412 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: Our guest is Loan Survivor, Marcus Satrel. Twenty years after 413 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: Operation Redwens Marcus less rocket forward to you getting orders 414 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: to go to Afghanistan. How did that come down? 415 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 4: So they split the platoon in half and the steal teams. 416 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 4: There's troops and there's platoons, and since there was two 417 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 4: wars going down at the same time, there was more 418 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 4: than enough work to go around. And our particular platoon 419 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 4: was specialized in reconnaissance. I was with special deliveries, so 420 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 4: we were a smaller unit. But what would happen is 421 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 4: they would split us down the middle and kind of 422 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 4: pimp us out to the other seal teams because of 423 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 4: our specialty. So when it came time to see who 424 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 4: was going where, my half of the platoon was tasked 425 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 4: to go to Afghanistan and the rest of our guys 426 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 4: went to Iraq. 427 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 5: And that's how that worked out. 428 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 11: Was there. 429 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: Were you and Morgan intentionally split? 430 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 5: Absolutely? 431 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, Especially in the beginning. I went through 432 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 4: feel training before him, so I was ahead of him 433 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 4: a little bit. But eventually we wound up back together. 434 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 5: And the only. 435 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 4: Stipulation on that was especially in the beginning, as we 436 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 4: weren't allowed to ride in the same helicopters or the 437 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 4: same Humbies. And when I got when I got initially 438 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 4: into the teams, I got sent to Iraq first, and 439 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 4: he got sent to Afghanistan, and then when I got 440 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 4: back from Iraq, I got sent to Afghanistan. So it 441 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 4: was one of those deals. We were kind of missing 442 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 4: each other back and forth. Eventually we wound up together 443 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 4: in Iraq, but in the beginning we were separated by awards. 444 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: So tell me about the training for Red Wings. 445 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 4: We started, Well, the thing about Navy sealds is we're 446 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 4: constantly training. 447 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 5: If we're not sleeping or eating or. 448 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 4: Working out, then it's always training, work up for training. 449 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 4: And then, like I said, our job was special a constance. 450 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 4: We were doing a lot of direct action missions. Village takedowns, 451 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 4: snatching grabs, sniper overwatches, meaning it was desolate country out there, 452 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: completely different fighting than we're talking about in Iraq and 453 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 4: the city. So we were doing a lot of helicopter 454 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 4: reconnaissance and then then we would fast rope in and 455 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 4: they would drop us off in the mountains and leave 456 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 4: us anywhere from five to ten days, maybe two weeks, 457 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 4: and then they would resupply by air drop. So we 458 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 4: were kind of the eyes on If any unit does 459 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 4: a hit or they go in, they're always going to 460 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 4: have eyes on the target first to kind of get 461 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 4: an idea of what was going on, and that was 462 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 4: our job. So it was constantly working with the helicopter 463 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 4: units getting that online. The satellite imagery was getting pretty 464 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 4: good back in two thousand and five. It's not like 465 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 4: it is now where you could see everything and through walls, 466 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 4: but back then the imagery was getting pretty good. So 467 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 4: we were doing a lot of map studies, switching up 468 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 4: our gear, making sure everything was good enough and we 469 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 4: were well prepared for whatever environment we we got in 470 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 4: because the terrain would change with the miles, so it 471 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 4: was constant preparation and training. 472 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: So take me through the moment you're on the side 473 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: of the mountain and you're there to get the bad guy, 474 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: and these goat herders come upon you. 475 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 4: So we were separated probably about enough to where we 476 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 4: could we could barely see each other, so not enough 477 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 4: to where we were sitting round beside each other to 478 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 4: make a big signature, but far enough away from. 479 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 5: Each other that if we needed to get to each other, 480 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 5: we could. 481 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 4: And the terrain really wasn't conducive for a perfect setup. 482 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 5: So we had perched up. 483 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 4: We were well over ten thousand feet on the side 484 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 4: of this mountain. So imagine a volcano with a village 485 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 4: stuck down at the bottom of it, and we came 486 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 4: in over. 487 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 5: The top of it. 488 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 4: So what we did was we kind of rope down 489 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 4: and climbed down inside of the volcano itself so we 490 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 4: can get a better vantage point on what was going 491 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 4: on in the village. We set up in a triangle formation. 492 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 4: I was at the top of it. The top of 493 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 4: the mountain was probably fifteen to twenty meters above my head, 494 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 4: and then Danny and Mikey was right under, actually. 495 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 5: Right underneath me, and then on my right left flank 496 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 5: was Danny and Aggs. I maybe saying that wrong. I 497 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 5: think Mikey might have been underneath me. It's been a 498 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 5: minute now. 499 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 4: But anyways, we set up, started watching the target, and 500 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 4: the sun had come up. We'd been there overnight and 501 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 4: we were just monitoring all the activity when. 502 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 5: We had to move, so we relocated. 503 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 4: Onto a finger that was sitting off the side of 504 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,479 Speaker 4: the mountain so we could get a better vantage on 505 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: some of the houses. 506 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 5: And when we did that, about an hour after. 507 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 4: Set up, a shepherd walked up on us, and I 508 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 4: mean he walked right up on it. And now, actually, 509 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 4: I'll never forget to look on this dude. 510 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 5: Faith He didn't. He had no idea we were there 511 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 5: at all. 512 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 4: And we grabbed him and pulled him off the side 513 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 4: and started to interrogate him. And then about that time 514 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 4: two more came up the mountain and we snatched them 515 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: up and sat them down, and then the herd of 516 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 4: goats came walking up. I remember there was a dog there, 517 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 4: which was kind of odd because they gonna keep dogs, 518 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 4: but I remember the big, old, kricking, mangy dog that 519 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 4: was barking. And so we started going through the numbers 520 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 4: of what to do, and eventually what happened was we 521 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 4: turned them loose and then they left. We watched them leave, 522 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 4: and then we relocated back into a different position back 523 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 4: on the side of the mountain. Right after that, about 524 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 4: an hour or so is when the main body came 525 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 4: up on top of us. 526 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: And there was when they came up on top of you. 527 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: You know they've come up on top of you. You 528 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: didn't see them or hear them. You just bullets start whizzing. 529 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 4: So they're extremely quiet, and you can't take anything away 530 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 4: from them as an enemy because they are great at 531 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 4: what they do. They know that terrain. They were a 532 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 4: formidable force. And I'll always pay. 533 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 5: Him respect like that. I mean, they can fight. 534 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 4: So at first, I kind of looked down and it 535 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 4: was actually was below me, and I remember him looking 536 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 4: past me. He was cut down behind this rock and 537 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 4: he had his rifle up. So I kind of looked 538 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 4: around and looked back up above me and there. 539 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 5: Was a huge tree and this guy I saw an 540 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 5: ak musclem come around it. 541 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: And then the guy who was he was hooded up, 542 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 4: turned around and looked at it, looked down into us. 543 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 5: So I rolled my rifle up and when I went 544 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 5: to take. 545 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 4: A shot, he pulled his head back. 546 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 5: Around the tree. 547 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 4: And after when I came off my scope, I could 548 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 4: look right above me, to my left and right, and 549 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 4: there was guys setting up over the top of us and. 550 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 5: Down on the side of it. And then I remember 551 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 5: looking over at Mike. Yeah, I said, get back on 552 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 5: the clock if he can. 553 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 4: Get it on, and then I turned back around and waited, 554 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 4: and eventually what happened was that guy pulled his head. 555 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 5: Around that tree to take a shot, and when he did, 556 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 5: I dumped him. And when I dumped him, it just 557 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 5: it was game on. 558 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 4: They kind of unleashed and the fight came in, and 559 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 4: eventually what happened was is we got pushed out of 560 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 4: that position, and the terrain was so violent that it 561 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 4: just we kind of started tumbling down the mountain. 562 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: How long was it until one of you had been hit? 563 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 4: That was probably only initial while we were still in there, 564 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 4: so pretty quick. And then systematically guy started getting a 565 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 4: god down. 566 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: Hold in just a moment. Marcus la Troll's our get
