The MOST HORRIFIC sight a Delta Force Operator ever saw

In December 2009, a group of the CIA’s top terrorist hunters gathered at a secret base in Afghanistan to greet a rising superspy: Humam Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian who had infiltrated the upper ranks of al-Qaeda. For months, he had sent shocking revelations from inside the terrorist network and now promised to help the CIA assassinate Osama bin Laden’s top deputy. Instead, as he stepped from his car, al-Balawi detonated a thirty-pound bomb, instantly taking out seven CIA operatives and giving the agency its worst loss of life in decades.

The worst realization in combat as a QRF is when you realize the rescue mission has become a recovery mission... then it's the worst feeling to process the aftermath. 22 per day...

[aaronpotter]

I was on QRF got called out, to help secure a sight where a shape charge came up through the battery box of a HMMWV, cut the truck commander in Half, and was still conscious. We got him loaded on an aircraft and that was all we had heard.
That IED Killed everyone but the driver.
The smell of burning flesh always comes back to me at different times
. We were shoving body parts into body bags for a while after that.
It’s was chunks of burnt flesh that looked like fish eggs.
04’ish Al anabar province

What some may not realize is that memory stays with us forever . I only did three tours in the 60's but will never forget the real bad times .

[vikviper]

I grew up with the belief you don’t ask a vet what they’ve seen done or been through, and that they had never wanted to talk about. I think it’s important to let them share their experiences.

[lancesmith]

I can’t explain Afghanistan to myself. A Vietnam vet mentor of mine told me: “this thing you’ve got now, you’ll die with it.” What the eyes have seen, the mind cannot unsee.

[jonanthanenriquez]

We need men like this . Thank you sir.

[christopherhayes]

This guy was very calm, and it may be why he is still around to tell us his great story.

[EErickson-lr]

Thankyou both for your service in protecting our country. We all owe you nothing but complete appreciation and respect.

[isaiahbeal]

It's crazy how the things I may complain about or talk shit about when there is men and women fighting and dying for my very freedom these people don't get enough credit true heroes

[Trey-nbpg]

I was 2 trucks behind a HMMWV that got hit by a EFP. Killed 3 sent 2 home. He ain't lying. I was pulling pieces of my friends out. RIP Marcum, Buie, McHalffrey. 04Jan2005.

[mesthead]

I was in the Paktika province when this happen. Was at a base that was suppose to get hit so we we're protecting it. Then this came over the radio was a gut punch.

[wbarney]

Shawn nobody else could do what you do. Because of who you are. Drive on brother

[MZ-blwg]

Man, words cannot express my heartache hearing thst, I’m so sorry to this warrior that he’s lived with this images all his life in the name of freedom. Thankyou for doing what of the population couldn’t do. Rest in peace to those warriors lost! 💜🇺🇸

[MOB-Lee]

.. "to that point" holy ship

[grosebud]

The stories of these men need to be played in every highschool to remind kids that life isn’t just tik tok and Onkyfans.

[williamoldenburg]

The eyes never lie. Thank you for your sacrifices brother. Till Valhalla!

[eyedwilli]

It never leaves your mind. Sometimes you’re numb to it, sometimes it’s like having your breath taken away.
But the smell of iron filling your lungs and coating the inside of your nose and mouth is haunting. When it hits first your brain is preoccupied with what your eyes are seeing. So it creeps up on you.
And it takes a few moments to realize that the weird sensation and taste and smell you’re experiencing is your friends/ team members blood.
Whenever something later in life smells similar or even has a hit of resemblance it stops me where I stand. It will never go away. Those memories are like teeth biting into my soul.

[Arizona_rider]

I’ve never been around war but I’ve been around serial killers and the mess these people leave is haunting. Humans are capable of some serious destruction

[paulisaaksohn]

Love and respect to you, 'Ninja' and your fallen brothers in arms. Same goes for Shawn...
