Barack Obama's ROEs Almost Got Army Rangers K!lled by Enemy Sniper

we're about to be on CNN getting our freaking heads chopped off if they get in close we're going to pull this grenade hug it and we're going to kill them with us right I fist bump Mike pton yeah they could not drop any bombs why Obama's rule of Engagement bro so that's the guy who saved my life I've never heard anything like that before we start off the mission and I remember dude getting there was was a was like hell riding on the back of these Marine trucks I don't know what they were called like

deuce and a halfes like a uh big trucks very uncomfortable we drive out there we get dropped off and I remember it looking like a scene out of Aladdin the the sand dunes and all the stars in the sky looked like that I was pretty peaceful and I remember falling asleep nodding off and I was like begging for a firefight it's like dude I'm I'm sucking right now tired day five going on day five now and the walk there took forever started off at night by the time we got there it was like the sun

was coming up so I already had a bad feeling about that to begin with but they kept pressing on with this mission and I remember when we so my plan for my team was to set up like a blocking position a good distance away from the actual where the target building was at and to you know block this Avenue of approach that was going into the uh the town where the house was at we set up in this open field but I remember walking through the open field and there's these craters like holes in the

ground I'm like what is this stuff so I looked back at my Spotter and something told me I was like dude if something goes goes wrong we're coming back to these holes no [ __ ] man make it past this hole maybe 50 m or so we lay down I'm pulling security along this long road and the town starts to wake up and I'm just getting these bad vibes took my night vision off try to blend in with the terrain as much as possible and I see this the the mopeds what do you call those

little like a moped and there's two guys on a moped and he rolls up and I put my laser on him I'm like dude he's going you know to the objective put my laser on him my laser light and he sees it and I'm waving around in his chest he he can't see me in the grass yet but he looks down in his chest he stops the bike and he looks down in his chest and he looks up in that direction of where I was at I'll never forget the look in his eyes of of

hate just hate bro and he backs up does a yui and goes away and I was like this isn't good this is not good and then in front of us a huddle forms like a football huddle these guys get into a huddle and me and my spotter are looking at them I call back to the wky team lead I'm like hey uh can we smoke these guys he's like do they have weapons and I'm like like no but I just got a bad feeling man like the way they're everything about them they they were planning

and looking around looking at where they thought we were and it just felt weird they were all in this huddle and then no [ __ ] Bro they're like ready break they scatter a minute or two later bro like the grass was like waste high that we were in and I remember like dude the grass being mowed around us it just started getting chopped down in all directions all 360 it lit up and I remember looking back at my spotter the wcky guys are already breaking contact we go back and four of us jumped into

the hole I'm second guy in the hole we had the wcky team lead go in ptt's on top of me I'm sorry the other guy he's right on the outside of the hole and he's in a star for like sprawled out and we had the medic behind him also sprawled out and dude we we were getting lit up bro I cannot describe how intense the fire was around us and then it like stopped and we just heard pow just one crack at a time but the intervals were very consistent and very accurate and I'm like

oh [ __ ] we're getting engaged by a sniper and in it clicked what the Marines told me before coming into that area they were like dude one we cannot go with anything less than a brigade and we're out there with less than 35 guys two there's a chin sniper that's working that area and he's been out there for a while he has a you know supposedly a big kill record he's been fighting for way longer than your average fighter supposedly like the Soviet days or whatnot and has been like a mercenary in that area

and from a chch and sniper uh um so I deduced it down to this is him he's good really good so I call it up we're being engaged by a a sniper so I'm trying to do a snap bang where I hear the crack and I wait for the report of the rifle like lightning and thunder and I'm getting like a general idea of how far away the sniper is so I pinpoint him to this tall building it's the only it's where I would be if I were a sniper zoom in I'm looking and I'm

I'm not too sure so I go to pick up my head and crack bullet goes by look at pton he goes to roll over crack bullet snaps and pops up D dust next to him then it started getting way more accurate me and the I call him Jay the the the team lead from recky me and him pop up and we're almost helmet to helmet bro and a bullet between us he pushes off of me I push off of him and the next thing I heard was the medic screaming who's head who's hit team lead

thinks my head is gone I think his head is gone he's like I'm good I'm good are you good check yourself I'm checking my face like dude I'm I'm hit Something's Happened nothing and that went on for 3 hours of playing volleyball with this sniper in this small hole and the fire just got more accurate every movement that you would make he'd take a snap at it he was going off of movement and I would put rounds to where I think he's at but I know I'm not going to hit him because I think he's

shooting from back inside of the room outside the window or this little slit or uh a hole in the side of the wall or yeah the building but he's backed away from it so I know I'm not going to hit this guy so I'm just putting rounds into it then we started to hear the enemy closing on us and you can hear him all bar and all that and at one point they got close where you could hear the footsteps my spotter starts engaging guys who are close bro close to us with the 300 Win

Mag and he's laying some hate down and get it it gets picked back up we're calling in for air strikes I'm damn near crying bro I'm C I've never cussed out a colonel in my life but cuss this colonel out like we we need bombs we need help bad we're about to be on CNN getting our freaking heads chopped off you know yeah so yeah they could not drop any bombs why Obama's role of Engagement bro we could not have anything uh with 0.1 collateral percent collateral damage meaning if we Dropped a Bomb and their

home got hit with shapel that would be a bad deal for we were it was about winning the hearts and Minds so getting a bomb dropped at that time was impossible and we couldn't drop it to where I had pinpointed where I figured this guy was at the sniper found his location on the map we called it in for an air strike the best that that they said they could do was do a fly over show a force the first thing that came over was a i it was a F-16 or F-15 one of those

Jets he came over didn't do anything next I looked up and I thought I saw a UFO I'm tired borderline hallucinating so I'm like yeah that's a UFO and it's just this thin black look like a disc and as it it's low bro low and as soon as it gets closer I'm like that's a that's a B2 stealth bomber I've never seen one of these things before in my life except for like on TV and it was way bigger than what I expected and thinner than I expected and I remember he had his bay doors

open and he dropped flares and I didn't do anything so then we called in for bombs to be dropped on our location so I'm calling up like drop drop them on us because we're getting you know overrun and I'm I'm playing volleyball with a sniper I can barely see and I picked some machine Gunners off on a rooftop who was shooting at us pick some more guys off in the field and then uh yeah when we thought it was over I look at Jo U look at the the the wcky team lead and I'm like

dude do you have a grenade and he already knew I was going with it if they get in close we're going to pull this grenade hug it and we're going to kill them with us right so he pulls out his grenade man one second bro yeah that's where I fist bump Mike pton yeah we set our goodbyes you know one second it's okay man like I said this is the worst one so I'm good after this one but and I haven't talked about a so I think that is different but yeah uh say our goodbyes

I fist pound Mike pton and I'm like dude tell my wife I was not a [ __ ] and he's like dude I'm not telling her anything she's Mexican she'll cut me I'm like yeah she will and uh yeah he did our little goodbyes whatever waited to these guys to you know over run us and look over my shoulder and here's my dumb brain again my kid brain I thought it was the Road Runner the like when someone's running real fast and you can see the dust kicking up from the back of their feet it

was a machine gun team cop Eric inis those guys uh they heard the call man dude yeah they heard the call of uh you know we were pinned down pretty good and uh they came in and extract extracted us and we popped smoke Murphy's Law we popped smoke and the wind blew it the opposite direction so we had no cover like screen cover or anything like that to to bound out we were going to bound out bound out in twos and uh me and uh Mike pton were going to be the last guys to bound

out covering them as best as we could as you know they made it back to the machine gun team on this on the road that we were originally overlooking and uh snipers trying to pick us off as we're running so I tell Mike I'm like dude zigzag and I learned this from just you know where R grew up I'm like dude you're getting shot at zigzag uh I I didn't zigzag I just vined it and it's the fastest I felt like I was running on clouds man I could not feel the ground beneath my feet

vined it to the machine gun team Mike's right behind me and you can hear the cracks of the rifle and you see the ground pop up and made it back to the machine gun team I look at cop I'm like dude I am sucking I need water bad haven't had water in you like felt like a day or whatever and really thirsty and mouth was sticking together and couldn't form any spit he gives me water out his back uh his backpack I drank half the bottle gave the rest to Mike and it's up to me

you know hey where we going I'm like well let's bound make our way back to the main element where you guys came from and we'll join up with them and finish out this Mission and as we pick up to move out I see some guy pop out from the backside of this little house and I put my rifle over Pimon shoulder we're both look facing that direction I used his shoulder as a brace because we're standing and I you know shot this guy in his as he poked out from behind the house and like a

walking firefight um and I made the dumbest call of my life man of skirting the tree line yeah yeah should have went in it and skirted the tree line probably tired wanted to get to the element as quickly as we could because they were also in a huge fire fight throwing grenades and back and forth uh borderon hand to hand combat in this little like Ravine it was intense bro making it back to them skirted the tree line and a [ __ ] you not I saw the ground open up like a guy come out

the ground he lifted up the grass and he came out of the ground and no matter where you're watching Sean Ryan Show show from if you get anything out of this please like comment subscribe and most importantly share this everywhere you possibly can and if you're feeling extra generous please leave us review on Apple and Spotify podcast
