" I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face. We were doing overwatch on the village to recon and gather intel. I was point heading down the face of the hill with the LT. when we got hit. the rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire. I didn't start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety."
"A round struck the tube by my hand of the 203 grenade launcher which knocked it out of my hands. When I picked the rifle back up it was still functional but the grenade launcher tube had a nice sized 7.62 cal bullet hole in it and was rendered useless. "

Wow. Absolutely amazing. I can understand trying to be the hero (drawing fire and what not) But on an open mountain with absolutely zero cover? It's a miracle he isn't dead.

@Sheps It may not make sense, but when it's happening, I'd rather be running down the hill than pinned down at the top of the hill. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but when your sitting there, like you could see the rounds kicking up all around him. Its the worst thing you can imagine. I'd take a bullet running down the hill before I'd let myself get stuck. Besides if my buddies are hitting guys as I draw them out, then I can cover them on the way down. Someone has to do it. Another thing that's More..

@Einzelkind Apparently you didn't read the whole story. He ran out in the open to draw enemy fire for his squad - and it worked; however, I personally felt the PL or APL lacked fire superiority. But I don't know the whole outcome of the battle so who am I to judge.

You don't get it because you don't understand it.
He DOESN'T have high ground advantage, they are being shot at from the opposite mountain, not the village. It's possible they are being shot at from a higher elevation than they already are, meaning they are at the disadvantage.
He DOESN'T have cover, he's on the open face of a FUCKING MOUNTAIN.
I love how people will just comment without understanding the subject, and the same 6 fucking people vote up these stupidly ignorant co More..

I think his explanation was made in retrospect to cover up this tactical blunder. No one in their right mind would do what he did. Charge down a steep mountain to "draw fire"? Yea, sure. Whatever you say guy. What safety did your squad need to get to? They're already on a mountain for fucks sake.

Holy shit that was intense. I may be mistaken but it looked like rounds were impacting all around him the entire video. That's a lot of fire to be drawing all by yourself, and accurate at that. Hope he makes/made it home safe. Thanks for your sacrifice, soldier and great upload, funker.

@johnstone587 thats a tough place to make a move like that. There was ZERO cover for 100s of yards. I didnt hear any 240s or saws either. Of course the mic was weak but still those buildings were far away but the closest cover. Tough situation. Also if I saw bullets landing at my feet while I am in standing position I would have gotten a shot of adrenaline or something. Wether it was fatigue or fear of falling I would have been much quicker with those impacts hitting my position.

@NoExpectations
Some points I made that no one seems to comprehend, even with a fucking video.
No cover means move to cover, therefore he moved.
He had NO support from his squad, as you're right, no SAWS can be heard providing cover and a few M16's don't equal the output of ONE SAW.
He deserves a medal, not to be called an idiot. Show some respect, I don't see you assholes risking your lives to save others.

@drowrogue I agree man. Pisses me off to no end hearing people call the guy stupid, but those guys have never been in a combat zone much less received fire. It says in the interview that the rest of his squad was pinned down by another MG and he sure as fuck isn't running UP a mountain with rounds impacting at his feet. He'd have been a dead man for sure.

Attracting enemy fire only to become a potential casualty and compromise the safety of the guys further when having to extract you......wrong call!!
wasted valuable rounds too by just firing in the air.....The big man was on your side that day !!!
