Fact of the matter is, people don’t know what’s going on in Africa. There is almost no air support, there is no infrastructure to support infantry on the ground. There are the French jets and that’s it. Might have QRF (that’s what was there for) but as seen in the video, the commanders are so fucking gun shy and would rather send the French.

Same thing happened in Benghazi, same thing happened to ODA 574, same thing happened to conventional Marines and Soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq on a daily basis during the GWOT. Politics is the reason why some of those tragedies receive focus and others don’t, the reality is that the risk of sending a quick reaction force into an active fight without good/any intelligence is too high, and every combatant commander has to make the brutal calculation of a handful of dead operators vs a C130 full of caskets + exposing the scope of the USA’s presence in country.

[@remington_acr1651]

In instances like this higher command make all the decisions despite never having done so much as held a rifle. They’re also likely the ones who determine what the ROE is (rules of engagement) which only hurts soldiers and marines alike.

Originally there was supposed to be a QRF team that would be brought in via air support (helicopters) for the mission that day. However, the air support was cancelled due to weather. The ambush happened a bit after that happened. Michelle Black, Bryan Black's widow wrote a book titled, "Sacrifice: A Gold Star Widow's Fight for the Truth" Its definitely worth a read. The official report omits a lot of stuff and it also tries to pin it all on the squad leader, while absolving Africom of really any fault. (Africom ordered the mission the previous day, then ordered the team to drive through the night for the mission on the 4th.)

Yeah I caught that too, but other than that, absolutely top-notch production & story telling; thanks PM for doing your research as well as really putting in the necessary time, effort, resources, etc in order to document this & get the(ir) story out!! It absolutely needs to be told...their memory, and more importantly their actions & ultimate sacrifices must absolutely be honored, revered & kept alive. the American people unequivocally need to be made aware of what happened, not only at that time in Niger with these exceptional soldiers, but also so much other shit that goes on/us done "in their name" as well as at their expense (as taxpayers) too; most of all, their selfless sacrifices must never be forgotten, and thanks to you PM, along with Black's wife authoring "Sacrifice" at least now the story actually has a genuine shot at seeing the light of day & making damn sure that that never, ever happens. Lastly, the behavior & actions of both their superior officer(s) from their command element, and even more so concerning what, how, why, etc the way Congress handled this, is nothing short of unforgivable & inexcusable... straight fucked, unashamedly hypocritical, and about as downright despicable, disgusting, treacherous, contemptuous, I can go on... the double-standards & blatant betrayal of these incredible, brave, exceptional sons of the nation absolutely merits quite a few heads rolling in "upper management" to say the very least. Simply put, the way that they were treated by the very people who they not only served but should've been their biggest & most ardent, capable supporters & the first ones in line to have their backs (imho) incidently turned out to be the backstabbers of the worst kind, and it's past due time someone needs to fuckin pay. The way this was handled both during the actual situation, and again throughout its aftermath (apparently STILL to the present day) is profoundly un-American. Rest easy fellas, you more than earned it... and you are not, nor will you ever be, forgotten. Thank you for your service, so that i/we may enjoy our freedoms and everything else we have precisely because of y'all, and men & women like you... past, present & (God-willing anyways) in the future days yet to come.

My buddy was with 3rd Group and his ODA had just left there a couple months before. All he would say was it was jacked up & down the line of command. Shame the ring knockers still try so hard to cover up for each other. The truth usually comes out eventually.

I will never forget this video. those boys fought hard.

[@esteban1487]

Once again, leaving our guys hanging by the brass.

[@billp3310]

[@Halo_lime]

Popo medic back with another BANGER

[@goodatwhatido3597]

Thank you for the video. R.I.P. brother's..

[@Mr._Infamous]

"Enjoyed" wouldn't be the way I describe watching that video but I appreciate you for making it.

[@TheAverageMountainMan]

Every single time I watch this footage it still makes me physically respond.

[@anf-2abuffalo603]

The footage and pictures at the end got me, thanks for telling this story and bringing it to the public

"I will never leave a fallen comrade." The GWOT era has disproven this time and time again.

[@andrewc3391]

They don’t leave eachother. It’s the politicians and pencil pushers leaving them behind.

[@BobbySedani2024]

Thank you for the vid. this was a tough watch for sure. God bless those men.

[@jettaguy4202]

Popo you do a great job with these videos. Utmost respect to the families, informative, you rock man

[@JuffBeezos]

Mad respect to these men. True Americans. It's just devastatingly sad that they died for people who will never care for them, fighting against something that was never a threat to us.

[@evanjohns2060]

How does this only have 123k views. This guy is one of the ones I wait for

[@evanjohns2060]

Shadow banned bud. For some stupid reason I assume

[@proudbrownconservative]

Every time I hear and watch these sacrifices, my brothers have given for this country I cry. I don't want it to be for nothing

[@TobinTheTigershark]

the music and commentary at about the 11 and a half minute mark really set the scene. makes you realize that these were real people that died, not just a story in a youtube video

[@Thehippiedudebro]

Powerful brother, thank you for telling their story. For telling the truth.

[@einfisch3891]

People like this are the reason I'm still proud to be an American.

[@xdscorpoinz6394]

I’ve seen that footage to many times, genuinely one of the most difficult things I’ve witnessed We won’t forget

[@dylanashmore6467]

Came across your KZbin channel and loved it keep up the great work

[@Cryotyde]

Been waiting for you to cover this.

[@buckethead1473]

Another banger of a video I only wish you put out more. Thank you.
