I have just watched "The Outpost" and had to read more about the people who participated in the battle. The movie did a great job showing the suffering soldiers experienced during and after the serving in Afghanistan, and the almost unbelievable bravery.

[@jamesrobinson2138]

You’re a grown man I know that one person doesn’t restore your faith and one person doesn’t destroy your faith. You have to know that there are good and bad people every where and it’s the balance of life but as long as you’re trying to do your best and be the best man, father, brother, husband, and human being that you can be, just know there are a lot of people who do the same but don’t seek validation or acknowledgement to do what is right..

[@joshuamccaulley7040]

The pain in his eyes tell the tale. And to stand there as they recount the battle one has to think he is reliving it. Thank you for your service SSG Carter.

Who’s here after watching ‘The Outpost’? I’ve watched many of these metal if honor presentings, and I must’ve missed this one. This was a good conclusion to the movie. Exemplary performance Sarge! HOOAH!

[@pacdevil]

Cant help feeling so much sadness after watching any war movie based on true events.. seeing the soldiers fighting for our country. This is the reason I wear and raise my american flag.. not because I love my government. But because I love the country I live in, and the damn brave men and woman that fight for the country I live in!

[@shaunschopf8645]

Well said. I love my country too, regardless of the extensive ugliness of our history. I'm a small town boy from Ohio with a white dad and a black mother. I know from experience that division is stupid. Love is the answer. Our soldiers fight for each other in "the suck". It's on the rest of us to make sure they fought for progress in our human relations.

From a fellow combat veteran and brother in arms I salute you brother and thank you. Your story and experience is an amazing one and I know books and movies don't even come close to what it's really like. I always wondered how much the movies get right....they can get close and show the chaos and intensity but unless you are there experiencing it you can never tell someone what it's like. The bond that is made with those going through it with you the fear the anger the rage the cacophony of the gunfire and explosions the ringing in the ears the symphony of chaos happening all around you. These things I experienced with my platoon when ambushed in Sadr City Iraq in October 2004. I'm sorry for you and your brothers and their families for losses you all suffered that on that day. It's an honor to know we have Americans like you in this world. Best wishes to you and I hope in time the wounds within may mend.

[@e.f.7225]

There are thousands of fucked up veterans out there today, who also wanted to give their live for the country and no one cares. Many are dismembered, horribly injured and forever mentally traumatised. All this political theatre is not worth to fight for….politicians have shown numerous times in history that they don’t care and never will

Mr.Carter- I hope you had a great veterans day. I genuinely wish I could give you a hug.

[@amylmoquin519]

I just watched the movie The Outpost and I wanted to look into Ty Carter. I'm so glad he's doing better. A true American Hero in a time of such disappointment of our current "leadership". I know nothing about military strategy or anything but when watching the movie I was immediately shocked and disturbed about the location of Combat Outpost Keating. Those poor guys were sitting ducks. They should never have been placed in that position in the first place. Thank you and God Bless all service members.

[@karagandinka]

Translating what was already said: “A real HERO, with respect from the Russians. He stood to the death, and to do that one must be alive at heart”. It is people like you who create room for “good” in the world. Without people like you, without bravery, without conviction, without doubt in face of danger, groups of people would be nothing, have nothing, no values, no joys, no happiness. Thank you every day

Man, after such a traumatic event, I think I would be angry about what could have been different in the battle. Not that it could be changed but the fact that I was standing there hearing about my friends being killed. I mean the award and support from his family and unit on stage was amazing. You could just tell he was doing a play by play in his head. Heart breaking

Бля. Я очень долго смотрел фильм "Форпост" про этих Героев - долго потому, что постоянно плакал. После этого я читал комментарии под фильмом, где умные люди и дали отсылку к награждениям этих Мужчин. А дальше я уже завис в гугл, википедиях и здесь - и вот я отсмотрел все церемонии награждения, без слёз не могу слушать и видеть. Хочу выразить даже не Уважение - а ПОЧЁТ.

It wasn’t just that deployment he was just very hard to get to know or even relate to or like he lived next to me in the barracks so I knew him better than most he would invite me over for a drink every once in a while but he would just always act like he’s better than everyone he always wanted to argue as well he kept telling me one night he was good in martial arts so I told him if he was such a badass In martial arts to kick me the fuckn face and he was acting weird because I called his bluff on it but I just got tired of him running his mouth about it because I took martial arts for good portion of my life and didn’t act like that and he would also act like he was too good for the army because he was a marine I had to remind him one night when he was drunk that the marines didn’t want him but the army did that’s why they gave him a second chance at the military not bad mouthing him I like him he’s just hard to get along with like he had a huge chip on his shoulder and was better than everybody

[@BigDog91527]

what's up with praying when it's clearly stated in the constitution that religion and state should be separated?

[@rocha7686]

Hey dude, 6 years late. It's just how it is, same with the oath of office. The United States was born from religion, George Washington himself took his oath of office.

[@annextheupforwisconsin7088]

America is a Christian country, and Christians accept and love all. Just because we accept and love all people from all religious backgrounds does not mean we have to abandon our countries Christian tradition and history.

[@NOLAgenX]

What it clearly was meant was to not promote one religion over another. That is the definition of separation of church and state. The nation was founded on religious principles, many of which were incorporated in the Declaration of Independance and the US Constitution. Ad to the Chaplain, ceremonies are always opened and closed with a prayer. Regardless of their own religion, Chaplains say prayers at these events to God in general, with no particular belief mentioned. They are also trained to minister to the needs of everyone in the units they are assigned to, regardless of their own religion or that of those who need so e religious assistance.

[@montoyagerardo]

“Let us pray”, I thought church and government were supposed to be two completely different and separate entities… I guess it is Islam against Christianity after all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@maskedthecreator1508]

The church and government are two different separate entities. What that means is that the church isn’t involved in decisions made by a country. For example when the Pope drew a line down a map and told countries who they could and couldn’t take over. The church can no longer do that. But prayer and faith are still allowed within government

[@Sarione]

@@maskedthecreator1508 Not actually. Do a little more research on it. And for the record the separation of church and state isn't actually in the constitution. Once you have done some research on the subject come back and we can have a discussion about it.

It was a Chaplain…they weren’t forced to pray. Just relax…
