Soldier Survives Shot To Helmet During Firefight
Daily Military News & Combat Footage at FUNKER530.com - http://vid.io/xGB Pre-Order the full documentary here - http://bit.ly/1Bq3tHy Soldiers from 2-327th "...
In March 2011, Soldiers from 2-327 IN “No Slack” (101st Airborne Division) conducted a mission called Operation Strong Eagle III in vicinity of the villages of Sarowbay and Barawarlow Kalay in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. The mission was planned to last 24-48 hours, but reportedly ended up lasting 9 days. We lost 6 of our brothers during the mission.
This video reportedly shows footage from a firefight that took place during this mission. Soldiers are engaging the enemy and taking fire in an attempt to provide cover for another platoon. One Soldier takes a round to the front of his helmet, yet manages to keep some sense of humor while getting worked on by the medic. Make sure you don’t miss his quote at the end of the video.
I watched this video several times, and the main feeling that kept coming back to me was “Brotherhood.” There is just something about this video that conveys the pureness and depth of the bond these Soldiers share with one another, and their commitment to one another. People talk a lot about the strong bond of military service – well this is a fine example.
** Question for RP members: What feelings does this video inspire in you? **

I doubt he had to worry about any kids being nearby, tense situations tend to bring blatant honesty

"Loyalty" and "Personal Courage" also come to mind for me with this video. Loyalty to one another and to the mission, and personal courage to Charlie Mike no matter what is going on, and regardless of personal risk or sacrifice.

How you feel, you dizzy or nauseous. Nah man I'm a f'ing stud.
All I can say is Charlie f'ing Mike.

I actually felt dizzy watching - the combat helmet cam is moving so much. I'm prone to vertigo because of my s/c neck injury any way.
But these guys are hard core. This soldier's biggest concern was that his helmet was done for. That's being focused on the task at hand...

Can't blame him, since it was what saved his life. I've fortunately never been down in the trenches, but I could imagine adrenaline can do some crazy things to people
