Marcus Luttrell Remembers Real Life "Lone Survivor" Rescue

I do not have military experience, but having a degree in theology leads me to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and and the story of Lot and his family. Many are confused as to why Lot would offer his daughters to the evil crowd? And he also offered sleeping quarters for the Angels.( he probably was not aware they were Angels at the time?) Anyway, my point of the story is, that this is part of the laws of hospitality in the Middle East that go back 3,500 years or more. Those laws of hospitality stayed in Middle East culture even before the founding of the Muslim religion. Even then, this Afghan villager put his life and his family's life on the line for this American who is a complete stranger! I am so happy the USA granted him Asylum status and I hope he's living happily in the USA even though it must be a very strange experience for him? He is certainly a man of character. I would be honored to meet him one day.

[@destinym96]

I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus a few months ago. He came into my work. Him and his family & friends were vacationing at the resort I managed at. I was just chatting with his friend about how it was my last day at work because I was leaving to go into the service. He needed some help carrying drinks back from the bar, and I had volunteered to help. I had no clue what was about to happen. His friend said, “ I have someone you need to meet.” I told him okay and followed him over to where they were sitting. Marcus introduced himself and shook my hand. I was speechless. I felt so minuscule and almost embarrassed. I was just some girl who was working at the hotel, and just starting my journey into medicine with the military. This man is an absolute legend. Why is he talking to me? Marcus immediately started asking me questions. Where are you from? What are you trying to do? What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? He was on vacation and he made me feel like I mattered enough to stand in front of him. What an absolute HUMBLE human being. I wasn’t trying to take up his time, but he wanted to know more. He really seemed to care. At the end of the conversation he shook my hand again and said, “welcome to the family (military fam), and goodluck with your adventure.” I will forever remember that interaction. What a genuinely great guy ❤ You can’t fake that kind of sincerity.

[@dingus6317]

@Alex Dane The villager guy who found him said he had all full magazines in his plate carrier and I’ve also seen the Taliban’s footage of the ambush. As blurry as it is, it’s clear enough to be able to tell that Hollywood greatly exaggerated the number of Taliban combatants. Throughout the firefight you can hear the other 3 seals screaming for his help as he was their combat medic, but he had already ran for the hills. Now I’m not necessarily blaming him for doing the smart thing and wanting to avoid his certain death, but he was not a regular joe like me he was a SEAL. The movie portrays his actions as a heroic last stand, fighting and tumbling down a mountain against hundreds of Taliban until the last man, which was not the case. He ran, the real American heroes died on that mountain.

Heres a short story to testify to Marcus' character. Last year in May my hometown was ravaged by a tornado that killed people and destroyed hundreds of homes. I own a landscaping company so I have quite a few chain saws and helpers I can call on and help. I was up on a roof clearing east Texas pine trees off of peoples houses when three guys showed up to volunteer work. One of the guys was naturally leading the other two and when they climbed up on the roof, Marcus (I had no idea who he was) climbed up to where I was and ASKED ME, what can we do to help boss? He worked on that roof with me for nearly 5 hours in the Texas heat and then continued to help out all around the neighborhood for the following week. I would have never known who he was until someone in the town recognized him a few days later and posted on fb about it. He never name dropped, no catchy T-shirts, or anything like that. He was truly just heartbroken to see the devastation my town had gone through and came to help. This man has broken his body for our country so I know he was hurting on that roof with me but I would have never known.

[@jakebumgarner4328]

Part of that is because things probably didn't go down the way the book and movie said it did. By his account there were "hundreds" of insurgents, but in reality it was probably between 8-15. Still out numbered, but 4 seals with the most advanced weapons should be able to put up enough of a fight to at least stalemate them. His magazines were also almost completely full when he was rescued, that was verified by the Afghan local that saved him as well as the Berets that came to collect him. Saddest of all, he told everyone that his 3 teammates were dead, so the guys took their time searching for the bodies, but Axelson was very likely alive for days still, and may have survived if the rescue teams didn't think he was already dead. Much of the official story got changed from what actually happened so that the Navy could use this as a recruitment tool.

[@MP-mz7un]

Thanks a lot for this episode. If you guys loved it too, I would recommend everybody to check what hell Mohammad Gulab had to go through after saving Luttrell. He and his family got attacked several times. To my actual knowledge he got shot at least 2 times in 10 years. One time he and his wife had to fight off taliban forces with assault rifles in front of their house. One of his nephews got shot in the head. He lost family members, his company in Afghanistan (destroyed by taliban), his land and his home land. And even to the end he defended his actions. Folks please check his side of the story too, especially the part how he got to america and the difficulties, for me personally beyond imagination. Luttrett talked about a rough week (which must have been death for most of us), but for Gulab and his family the hell continued for at least a decade or so. For me it was heart breaking to read. This Family is special. Really special.

@Achraf h it was a little bit more complicated than that. If I got it correctly there were also misunderstandings due to language barrier and maybe wrong translations.

Please look further into this incident and don’t take what people say at face value. Luttrell is a liar and his actions might’ve gotten his team-member Axelson killed. Members of the SOF community have talked about there even being drone footage of Luttrell running away from the firefight (it was his first firefight iirc) and members of his team asking for him to help on the radio, but he ran away. When the Green Berets and Rangers that came to help them out found Marcus, he wasn’t very helpful relaying information back to them to help recover the bodies. He told them they were all dead, but he had no idea if they actually were. From there, the Rangers and Green Berets went on a more slow, methodical approach to the hill instead of rushing up there to potentially save someone who may have actually been alive for days in the woods and wasn’t rescued because his teammate ran away and said he was dead. The Navy took a horrible operation that changed it into a PR stunt to make Luttrell to be the hero. They basically gave him an ultimatum, tell the truth and be exposed for being a coward or lie about what happened and become a millionaire. Now, we know the path he took.

I guess it’s what they call the thousand yard stare. Had him over for a cookout one summer and he was telling me stories while we sat alone outside in my front yard and he just paused and stared off for 10 seconds.

[@SweatyFatGuy]

I've lived with PTSD most of my life, had it before I enlisted because of a really shitty home life on a farm in BFE. I got beaten a lot, not the point of this though, going to war in 1990 and again in 2004 felt like going home. Its not always that we are back there when we trail off or just stare at something, we can be reliving any time in our lives, good, bad, completely random and routine, or horrific, you never know what will pop up or why. It helps to talk about the stories, to pass it along. Somehow it removes the emotional power it has over us to talk to random people about it, as long as they actually give a damn. There are things we won't talk about, things we only talk about with other veterans, and then the stuff we will talk about with anyone. One interesting thing is anniversary dates. I usually have no idea what day it is unless I have an appointment or something. Haven't worked a normal job in 16 years so they kinda blend together. Occasionally I will have a shitty day, wake up a wreck, irritable, hateful, hyper vigilance going haywire, anxiety off the charts our around the edges of the solar system, and I have no idea why. Its a day from my past that something happened, an anniversary. Somehow my mind knows even when I have no idea what day it is. Once you get to be ok with it, rewire your mind so you can detach the emotions from the memories (not easy to do: a massive understatement) then learn to utilize things like the hyper vigilance/scanning to your advantage, like not getting speeding tickets or in accidents, life gets more bearable and figuring out all these things you do automatically becomes very interesting. Like walking into a Taco Bell making a quick scan, then knowing how many people are in the place, what they are wearing, how much of a threat they are, where the exits are, and where to stand or sit so nobody gets behind you, all in a quick glance. Its completely subconscious. Makes you feel super human, until you get worn down from watching too many people and you start to get irrationally pissed off. I don't go anywhere on Black Friday or other holidays like that. Hell while writing this I lost my train of thought and relived some time way back for a while. I find it helps to write about things, because the typing takes enough brain power to let me talk about it without thinking about it. How to write it becomes more pressing than what I am writing about. Something I just noticed. My posts tend to be rather long, probably due to part of that.

[@AnonMedic]

@@SweatyFatGuy what you said is 100% true. My brother was the last soldier killed in Iraq in 2008, and although I never served, I have PTSD from childhood traumas/street life. I find myself doing the same scanning thing and tactical awareness assessments. I was a military brat, and ate sleept and breathed PT as a youth, reading every nonfiction a soldier wrote I could get my hands on. This guy should write a book about his story in more detail. because as you said it does remove the power that trauma's hold over us to talk about them to people that care. That's something I learned through the Holy Spirit and biblical principles, if we confess our sins to each other his faithful and just to forgive us. But not just sin, traumas and everything else seems to be at ease when we talk about it. I felt this mans pain when he'd go through memory lane. and you can tell it's things he literally has not thought of since they happened; so I think him writing a book could be a good way to bring some emotional healing to him.

God gave me these four steps via divine revelation. He said anyone who does all four are guaranteed a divine revelation of their own. They are the mustard seed of Faith, the bare minimum amount of effort he's willing to accept before he reveals himself to you personally. Believe or not, do for yourself and see. Forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. There's deep spiritual significance in these steps. Every one is important, and it's the least God accepts. Three books of the bible will be enough for the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. I'm not talking about signs, feelings, etc, but am honest to goodness one on one conversation with God. An actual meeting. Unmistakable, and unable to be misinterpretaed.

@@ratty2012 No, this is the most likely truth based on hours cross referencing all available information from credible witnesses in the public sphere. Military professionals who visited the site made many of these points but were silenced, also accounts from the villager who saved him. Accounts from all the villagers who heard the drop also. Finally, actually watching the unedited footage the Taliban filmed while killing the team. If you want specific example of something ask me. The only point which is debatable is the 11 magazines, maybe he had less and the villagers exaggerated but he certainly had many many clips left. Also, this is taken from the only consistent points in Marcus story that haven’t changed over times. There’s so much more I haven’t even included, I hoped it would be just enough to make people bother to look into it themselves. But no, cos ‘Fuck yee America is the best’ attitude and the media spoonfeeding makes people gullible and stupid

I'm also a veteran, and watching him try to tell the stories or explain what happened reminds me of the way I feel. You would think after so many years that it would be easy to tell a story, but it's not. We block it out of our memory 99% of the time, and then when we try to talk about it we start having flashbacks, and get drawn in and our mind starts racing, and it's like you're trying to piece together what actually happened. I don't have this problem with non-combat memories.
