That actor that purposely spilled that coffee and told him to clean it up is the guy who this movie is about. He’s the lone survivor.

To answer your question at 7:30, SEAL stands for SEa Air and Land. So despite being a team within the US Navy they can and do operate in all areas. Lesser known team equivalent to the US Navy SEAL in the British Forces is the SBS or Special Boat Service which falls under the Royal Marines.

Danny Dietz got the worst of it. He was shot 11 times. 1 SHOT IN THE LEFT ANKLE 1 SHOT IN THE RIGHT CALF 1 SHOT IN THE RIGHT THIGH 1 SHOT IN THE GROIN 2 SHOTS IN THE STOMACH 2 SHOTS IN THE THROAT 3 SHOTS IN THE HEAD Early in the battle his right thumb was completely blown off and he had to shoot left handed. The movie shows him losing 3 fingers but thats incorrect. And lastly in 1 of the jumps off the mountain both of his legs were broke when the other 3 SEALs landed on top of him. From that point on Marcus Luttrell had to carry him down the mountain. Except for Marcus Luttrell every Navy SEAL you see in those pictures at the end of the movie died on that mission. ALL OF THEM.....

Sadly...

In the book, Marcus' rescue was more complex and drawn out than the movie can afford to show. In real life, the Afghans protected Marcus for five days, and he lost 30+ pounds and picked up a wicked bacterial infection in his digestive tract.

I have such respect for Veterans, they put their lives on the line every single day for each of us!! Everytime I see military men/women in public I make sure to thank them and I've raised my children to do the same, they deserve every praise they are entitled to!! My husband was a tunnel rat in Vietnam and my son was an army ranger, I'm proud of the work they've done, I don't know much about what my son did because he was highly classified..I don't like asking questions because they both suffer from PTSD, but they know I'm proud...I worked at a V.A. psych hospital and what I've seen these men and women suffer from is heartbreaking!!

“13 hours”is also really good

One of the guys who died in this battle--- Michael Patrick Murphy---- grew up on Long Island in NY like me, but I did not know him. One day I was walking down the street near my mother's home, when I saw the entire street blocked off for a funeral. There were military personnel everywhere. I just stood there watching in silence with all the other people from the neighborhood. It was very moving. Later they named the local post office in his hometown in Michael's honor. He is a hero.

I recommend watching Marcus himself tell the story of Operation Red Wings. The movie is good but unfortunately it does sugar coat a few things and leaves out key moments like Marcus’s trainer he had as a kid and how it motivated him to crawl in those mountains until he found the waterfall, Mike Murphy’s cries for help and Marcus’s change of views on the people of Afghanistan after more or less hating them after 9/11.

Navy seals are specialists. Fight on any terrain and weather. They do the big jobs

Mike Murphy actually said thank you after the call and hung up. He got the CMH.

Navy SEALs do missions or operations in every climate or landscape. Sea, Air and Land is what SEALs stand for. They are part of the Navy so they are stationed with a Navy crew overseas which is actually better because they can be deployed faster then most ground troops. Maritime is there specialty. :)

I have and extremely hard time watching this movie, I walked out of the movie theater, and have never seen the movie all the way through from start to finish. I even had to pause your reaction and walk away and finish it later. Thank you sir.

Pashtuns embrace an ancient traditional, spiritual, and communal identity tied to a set of moral codes and rules of behaviour, as well as to a record of history spanning some seventeen hundred years. Pashtunwali promotes self-respect, independence, justice, hospitality, love, forgiveness, revenge and tolerance toward all (especially to strangers or guests).] It is considered to be the personal responsibility of every Pashtun to discover and rediscover Pashtunwali's essence and meaning. It is the way of the Pashtuns. We have melmastya, being a good host, nanawatai, giving asylum, and badal, vengeance. Pashtuns live by these things. The Pashtun tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian. Every large house is a real feudal fortress. ... Every family cultivates its vendetta; every clan, its feud. ... Nothing is ever forgotten and very few debts are left unpaid.

Afghanistan and its people far more complex anyone who is in power want to give credit. It is called Graveyard of Empires for a reason. Afghan's have endured it all. Starting from Alexander the Great to Taliban. I am sure Afghan peoples still exist when nobody remember Talibans.

Everyone in that valley heard the chopper and knew American were dropped off

Eric Bana played Commander Erik Christensen in this film and Delta Operator Norm "Hoot" Hooten in Black Hawk Down. He's played two real-life military badasses. The acronym SEAL stands for SEa, Air, Land, so their missions take place anywhere and everywhere.

7:22 They can. That’s the point of the SEAL name. It stands for SEa, Air, and Land.

You will wake up drowning in your own blood is a bit more accurate translation. However there isnt an exact word for word translation from Pashto to English. Its a very difficult language to learn.

Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor, was a speaker at a company I worked at. Talking about the movie, he was adamant with the producers to portray it accurately and show respect to his brothers in arms.

That was my last deployment, Jalalabad, FOB Fenty, Afghanistan, 325th BSB, 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, 2011-2012.

Marcus Luttrell is truly an American Hero!!

Seals take on any mission in any environment. The name "Seal" is an acronym for Sea-Air-Land.

3:21 guy in the beanie is the real legend, Marcus Luttrell.

This was filmed in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque,NM. They were allowed to do some filming on Kirtland AFB.

How much ammo they carried: The book says that normally on this kind of mission, each guy would carry 8 30-round magazines, but for this mission, Marcus Luttrell carried eleven 30-round magazines.

The enemies did hear the infill. That's not widely known. A lot of people think they were discovered by the goat herders, but you were correct. They already knew they were there because they heard the helicopters infilling the Seals. Great observation on your part.

One of my favorite war movies ever

18:00 That was Dietz and he was reaching for that crumpled up paper with the samples of paint his wife sent to him.

Marcus Luttrell was actually the guy who spilled the coffee in the beginning, the guy seal that this is about.

Seals stands for Sea, air, and land. They are experts in every aspect of combat.

One of my favorite books

Reason for the communication issues is in the mountains of Afghanistan the mountains fuck with the signals there’s spots you get good communication and then once you take a few steps away from that spot it’s gone I’m not sure exactly what it is but I believe it’s something to do with the minerals and metals in the mountains that fucks it up. Someone that’s been there will probably give. A better explanation

The man who saved Marcus lives in America now, they got him here. Search Marcus Lutrell talks about lone survivor mission if u want to see how horrifically he was injured. It’s amazing and really sad to see him call himself a coward at one point. He’s such a legend. Be a great reaction.

Fun fact the guy with the beanie that was in the opening scene that was next to the drink falling over was actually the guy Mark is playing _ hell yeah

Seals is an acronym. It means sea air and land. Seals can operate anywhere!

I can't believe that you were watching this movie at about the same time as I was. I was going to ask you to react to it. Great choice!

You should check out Mr. Ballen, he was a Navy Seal and tells true spooky stories. I think you will like him. Also, there ARE vids of Marcus talking about what happened, you should see those as well. He said, 'I was acting like a little bitch, feeling sorry for myself.' Unbelievable the courage that man, and ALL our military have!!! I could NEVER do ANY of that! Bless them ALL!

The true story of Marcus Lutrell. I've seen him on Joe Rogen. He is a true warrior.

The US military has several branches of special forces. Each branch severs a distinct purpose. The Army Special Forces (The Green Berets ) purpose is to go behind enemy lines then organize and train resistance groups. Like the French Resistance in WW2. Seals and Marine Raiders are more strike forces. Sent in for a specific mission. According to a couple of SeALs the discussion between members while on mission is normal. Once un mission there no rank among them. Each member has a say from experience. The team leader will make the final call.

Yes, they can hear the birds as the come in. But nobody is where they land in this case, and many other recon. The drop zone is miles away from anyone they know of, so they're safe to drop without anyone knowing. And if they're seen, by the time any enemy shows up they're hours ahead and gone.

13 hours American Sniper Saving Private Ryan

“Brave 2-0” is another of this era / genre you would enjoy It’s SAS based

seal = sea, air, and land. they do it all

The real man, Marcus Lutrell, is in the movie. He wrote the book on which this movie is based.

Sea Air & Land they do it all

Luttrell explained that his legs were numb immediately after the ambush, and when feeling did return to them, the pain from the shrapnel in his legs made it too painful to walk; he had to crawl seven miles looking for water and sanctuary.

The term Navy SEAL is an acronym. It stands for Sea, Land, and Air. So if a covert combat mission involves (water, land, or in the air), that's where you going to find a Navy SEAL.

3:22 the guy in the beanie is the real Marcus Latrell (the Lone Survivor)

The real Marcus Lutrell is in this movie. He was the one at the beginning who told the new kid to clean up the coffee! So cool. This movie was hard to watch 😭

Danny Dietz' autopsy report showed 11 bullet wounds. All the wounds and injuries in this came from autopsy reports.

The one that poured the coffee out and told dude to clean it up, he was the one that mark walburg played in this movie hea the only one that made it back. This was a true story

As an Afghan combat veteran I can tell you comms was always tricky. No war movie captures the sounds of battle like this one. The realistic sounds transports me back to Afghanistan every time I watch this movie

3:21 That is Marcus Luttrell(The actual Lone Survivor)

Seal stands for Sea, Air and land. Navy seals especially seal team 6 are specialized to do missions anywhere on this planet not just the water.

I knew you'd like this movie, it's one of my favorites too haha You should check out *Behind Enemy Lines* when you get a chance. I don't think any reaction channels watched it yet. It's a great movie also

So they got a lot of things right in this movie, thanks to Marcus. However, they had to the Hollywood thing and make some things over dramatized. Marcus was lost for about 5 days, he never killed the dude with a knife, he was rescued at night, and he didn’t know that the helo was shot down

I'm sure someone already recommended it somewhere but "American Sniper" is a fantastic movie that is right up there with this one, if not better IMO.

Seals are S.E.A.L. - Sea, Air, and Land

21:00 that’s why you don’t leave without the Apache no matter the cercunstace. Always the chance of more casualties

I watched this movie when I was at school

Mr.Kabir, thanks for sharing your takes on things I have cared about. I'm an Army brat and appreciate your willingness to share your impressions.

Riveting. Makes my nagging back pain seem inconsequential. Well done with the reaction. Peace from Ohio …

Danny Dietz was trying to reach his wife’s design paper. She wanted him to help pick out colors I think. He was from Colorado and there’s a statue dedicated to him. Michael Murphy who died trying to make the call was trying to buy an Arabian horse for his bride to be I think? Marcus named his son after his “redhead” friend Axe. It’s so sad knowing all those men died on that mission. Seals stands for SEa, Air and Land. So they fight anywhere. Seal Team 6 killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. They are elite. Yes, a great movie. I wouldn’t have killed those goat herders but I would have tied them to trees and let them take time to get loose so our guys had a chance to get away. Or at least leave their hands tied behind them…tough I know but it would have slowed them down a lot and given our boys a chance. Good reaction!🥰

Kabir, visual viceral..(22:11) remember private Ryan !

Read the book and read Michael Murphys book as well!! SEAL stands for sea air and land.

This is defiantly one of the best war films and it’s even crazier that it actually happen to our men! You should check out the book Marcus has out about the events it’s a very good read

Marcus Latrell is the guy in the black Beenie in the beginning

3:26 - That guy with the black hat was there.

Actually In hostage situation Eat / drink as much as fast as you can when offered It’s gets taken away randomly..“intermittent reinforcement “ is used to break one down, it’s extremely effective if you don’t know the psychological weapon being used. So just scarf up when ya can and keep as much strength as possible Not a time for pride or etiquette lol In his case the food offered was genuine but he was “eating on training” as much as hunger

Marcus did not lose a leg. And his escape from the “battle field” until Gulab found him was much longer and more painful than depicted here. At times he would reach out in front of him and draw a line in the dirt and then drag himself to that line….and then do it again, and again. He did not want any of that depicted in the movie because he wanted the movie to be about his brothers and not him.

Fun fact if you haven't already figured it out. The guy towards the beginning that spilled the coffee and told the new guy to clean it up, that was the real Marcus Luttrell.

Watch the behind the scenes/ making of it

Try "Danger Close" about the Australians in Vietnam. I don't think it has been reacted to, or not often. The mission really should have been scrubbed at the landing. The ropes were dropped which they were not supposed to do. That was a big clue that some Americans were in the area. So even though the helicopters often did fake landings at othed points, the ropes were a dead giveaway. It was also a mistake to try to land the QRF at the same spot, especially without the Apaches. However, the reasoning was that they didn't know where the team was but that they might be near that LZ. If the ropes hadn't been dropped they might have made it. So it was a risk that didn't pay off. The actual ending was different. There was no battle. Marcus had been moved oit of the village and hidden in a cave, because the Taliban had come into the village for him but they were only just sent away without a fight. He stayed there for a while and I think was rescued from there or near it. Marcus was also very lucky. After he woke up in that cleft he was hiding in, he staggered around the mountain for a while and fell down a series of ravines. Somehow the Taliban did not notice him or at least did not catch him. Others did notice him, some of them the villagers. Had he gone done the other side of ridge, he would have probably been handed over to the Taliban right away.

this has always felt like the most real war film imo. love this film always emotional

Out of all the really good war movies I have watched, this is my #1 top favorite war movie. Before this movie came out, my top war movie of all time was "Saving Private Ryan" . Now my top 3 favorite war movies are 1. Lone Survivor. 2. Saving Private Ryan. 3. 1917. Peter Perg who directed this movie also directed "Deep Water Horizon" and "Friday Night Lights". The movie "Friday Night Lights" spawned the TV series of the same name. Both the movie and the show are the high pressure world of small town Texas high school football! The movie is very good and a must watch, I think. Cheers.
