Navy SEAL, Delta Force Rescue of Jessica Lynch… (*REAL FOOTAGE*)

Ойын-сауық

On March 23, 2003, a convoy of the United States Army's 507th Maintenance Company and the 3rd Combat Support Battalion elements, led by a Humvee driven by Lori Piestewa, made a wrong turn and were ambushed near Nasiriyah, a major crossing point over the Euphrates northwest of Basra.
The convoy was supposed to detour around the town but instead turned directly into it, eventually running into adversaries. The convoy came under attack by enemy fire. The Humvee in which Army Private First Class Jessica Lynch was riding was hit and the Americans were taken prisoner.
Jessica Lynch was rescued by Joint Task Force 121. A team composed of Navy SEALs, and an element from the Joint Special Operations Task Force 121 composed of U.S. Army Special Forces , Air Force PJ’s, Army Rangers, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and Delta Force.

    The Iraqi doctor was also a prisoner of the taliban, that doctor was forced into the taliban and forced to mainly only help their fighters. It’s not us invading them, if Iraq didn’t let us, it would’ve been an invasion. Iraq pleaded for help for years since the Russian-Taliban War that destroyed that country and dictators.

    I'm a former Marine grunt, and Vietnam vet. It was a few years after I got out of the Corps that all hell broke loose in my mind, and I had to seek help. It was either that, or the alternative, but I had two young daughters at the time. There was no way in hell, (I told myself) that some therapist was going to break open my little bubble. Until, finally, he did. The more I cried, the harder I cried, until, embarrassed that I couldn't control my emotions, I left his office until I could gain control of myself. I apologized for the tears, and told him I felt it was unbecoming. He said in a very calm tone, "without tears, you have no soul". I don't know that to be true, but I do know that since those days in that office, I have shed many tears, and have not apologized for a single one. Welcome home. Semper Fi.

    You're completely right, but it all depends on the experiences you have been thru. For example, Ukraine is not Irak or Afghanistan, this is WW1 again with trenches warfare, drones and aircraft dropping bombs on each side 24h. What I'm saying is some lucky guys who actually come home alive are so desensitized that it's almost impossible to share a tear, even if you want to. Emotions disappear when you spend too much time under artillery and drones attacking you, and seeing how everyday familiar faces disappear under body bags and new recruits come in to relieve.

    An unknown part, recounted in Marty Skovlund Jr.'s book "Violence of Action" recalls that the Rangers on target discovered that all other POWs besides Lynch had died, and were not prepared to dig up their bodies outside of the hospital. 1/75 NCOs told all junior Rangers to pull security, and proceeded to dig up the bodies themselves, shielding the younger Rangers from the task. "I was digging up a body with my 1SG, and we picked up this girl. She was half wrapped in a bag and all the muscle and tissue came off and slid onto me. I instantly puked again...it was bad. You look to the left and right and it was all NCOs. We didn't want to expose the junior Rangers to that shit. Everyone was digging with gloves, we had no shovels or anything like that- everyone was just puking and digging."

    What you forgot to mention, which is a huge part of this story and brought to the attention by Jessica Lynch herself as she continues to come forward, is the fact the the US government awarded her some medals based on false stories that they themselves generated. She has come out to state she did not fire any weapons and they had just been ambushed and attacked so quickly she had little to no idea what happened because of the chaos and injuries. She states that she should have never been awarded some of the medals because of the the false stories put out that she went down shooting and helping others. It takes a ton of courage, to not only differ and make it out of what they did to her, but to also come out and speak on what really happened after false stories were put out and the narrative completely changed the events that took place that day.

    I remember hearing about this when I was in school. I'm from El Paso and that's where the US Army's 507th Maintenance Company is stationed and at the time I was in JROTC, when this happened one of my instructors told us that he knew someone that was assigned to that company. And then later we heard in the news that one of the guys that died was from El Paso. This just added more motivation for me to join the military after high school, I am now retired from the Navy, I was a Hospital Corpsman. This was a cool video dude!

    If you're looking for some more crazy military ones, you should look into 173rd airborne Chosen Company and their unbelievable stand at the Battle ofWanat. A perfect storm of decision making throughout the year, local support of the enemy, and isolation led to one platoon having to face down a tide of organized, trained, and determined enemy in the unforgiving mountains of Nuristan. In two seperate battles in their deployment they would have 6 kia in an ambush, and a further 9 kia in the assault on their base. From what I remember they were forced to call gun runs from responding Apaches within 10 meters of their own positions. Truly a worst case scenario for the soldiers, and against all those odds they still held.

    I was a civilian mechanic at Fort McCoy when the war started. We handled Mob and demob of this unit in January 2003. With the 107th maintenance stationed with us as support, we busted our asses to get this stuff ready and shipped. When this story broke, it hit us all really hard, and we took it to heart that what we did really mattered to these kids! I dont remember exactly when they came back, but we handled their equipment again. One day I pulled up a 5 ton tractor to my bay, and was going over my checks before bringing it in when I noticed names carved into the steering wheel. I didn't think anything of it, but there was a name with kia, then mia, then kia after each. All of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks that this was one of the trucks in the convoy that was over there when this all happened. Those were the names of those missing and killed. I broke down and cried my eyes out. These were somebody's kids, and they may not be coming home. I dragged all the other guys in the shop over to see this, and said. Do you understand why we are here now? What we do matters to these kids! Make it perfect as you can. Safe enough to put your kid in it and send them into battle! We all buckled down and put everything we had into this. I am so I proud to say I was a part of the efforts! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SERVE YOU!

    To add a couple things. Number 1, the informant who told the Marines of the intel walked something like 8 miles to deliver the news to Marines from the 2nd battalion 8th marine Regiment, so good on him. Number 2, Marines from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment also took part in the rescue operation, but in a much different way. They were tasked with purposefully advancing on known Fedeyeen holdouts to draw out and hopefully draw attention away from the hospital so the rescue operation could go on without a hitch. One could deduce that that action assisted with the reduction of enemy personnel that were stationed in and around the hospital. It was a tense time, and I still remember the full spectrum of emotions that everybody was feeling during the Battle of An Nasiriyah. It is good to see that people still remember the bravery of those who were part of the invasion. Perhaps the reasoning of going to war was flawed, but you cannot blame the warfighters themselves for doing a job that was told/asked of them to do.

With that going said there indirect fire was on point that day. Their use and number of rpg's made a great equalizer in some cases. But they fought more like a guerilla style way. Using civilians as cover and all kinds of dirty tricks. But as they fought hard and were fanatical to say the least. They have my respect as warriors even though they're enemies.

    The gravity of this situation is unreal. I cannot even imagine the fear and anxiety they must have felt when they were in the arms of the enemy. I think you honestly have to be them to know what it must feel like. Can you imagine being rescued by a small elite group of men who put themselves in a deadly situation to make sure you came home to your family? The feeling of relief that must have washed over their bodies when they were loaded on a helicopter to safely must have been undescribabl. I guarantee they think about it everyday. I bet to this day it still hits them like a ton of bricks every now and again. I bet they feel so incredibly thankful and still full of fear. How? How do you live life "normal" ever again?

    Fortunately those men are the most well trained and capable human beings on this planet. They train harder than us normal folks can imagine for these very situations, So they carry them out with relative ease. This was actually a pretty " relaxed" mission for this team. The list of units reads like the map's of the world series. Jessica Lynch couldn't have been on a safer part of the globe with these men surrounding her. She had the best pilots on earth with the 160th flying her, and the best field medics of the Pj's keeping her alive. This was one hell of a mission and these men made it look easy. Impressive is an understatement.

    The groups in this video used was probably considered a bit over kill for this mission considering special forces them selves only make up 1% of the United States army themselves and delta force being around 1% of special forces making it into the unit is in itself like winning the lottery. I'm pretty sure the mission where Hillary clinton tried leaving ex special forces soldiers and a bunch of civilians to die with her secrets in bangazi were saved by a single delta force operator. So having a whole team of them mixed with all these other groups could've seized the city if they really wanted to.

See Tales of the American Empire on this along with how the killing of Bin Laden was also massively altered for media. Seymour Hersh (Pulitzer for My Lai Massacre & Abu Ghraib scandal) found that Bin Laden was being held by the Pakistanis in a custom built jail house when we killed him. Crazy stuff.

    Well, there is a side to this whole story that nobody talks about, especially the Army. The following info came from another transport unit that was paralleling Lynch's unit. The other unit was also Army Guard. 1. They didn't have maps or GPS. Everything in the flat desert looks the same, so no landmarks to reference. But Iraqis could navigate fine. 2. Lynch's unit was very well known for its reputation of slackness and being general slobs about everything from weapons maintenance to vehicle maintenance to basic soldiering skills and definitely no fighting skills. To say discipline was lacking would be an understatement. It did not surprise the other unit when they heard of the debacle with Lynch's unit. 3. Army brass at some point in the chain knew Lynch's unit's problems. To cover their own career butts they fabricated a bogus around Lynch and comrades fighting to the end...blah blah. They certainly could not admit they allowed such an incompetent unit to evolve so low AND put that unit near the moving front. In fairness to Lynch she did not make up the fairy tale the Army brass presented to the nation. The successful rescue helped distract attention away from the disaster in the desert and which Army officers were responsible. In between active stints my brother did a short time in Army Reserves before 9/11. Coming from 4 years at Ft Bragg/Airborne he was dismayed at the state of his Reserve unit. But he found out after being activated after 9/11, there are some really slob outfits in the Natl Guard. Some make the Taliban look sharp.
