Marcus Luttrell Remembers Real Life "Lone Survivor" Rescue

the jurogan experience there's so much stuff that we kept from the story that that if i told you you wouldn't believe me now when it came to the movie we filmed it around the gunfight like what so we filmed it the movie around the gun fight because that's when everyone was alive i was like you shouldn't have known that i was gonna be the guy to make it out when they were picking the actors i was like so if you get somebody like an a-list actor and then everybody they'll know that that he's the one that made it out i was like when you're watching the movie you shouldn't know that of course hollywood does kind of kind of kind of does their own thing but the craziest part about that whole operation was getting me out of there and that wasn't in the movie in the movie they did a daylight daylight extract like they came in landed a couple of shots and they got out of there in real life it wasn't like that it was unbelievable i mean it was a night and the i mean the world was blowing up we were in this like a volcano like sitting in the middle of this volcano and i remember looking down the mountain there's there was a there was a river running down i mean it looked like miles down and they had moved me they had to carry me i couldn't walk and they kind of like and they they we would stumble over the green berets rangers it was a hodgepodge let me tell you something when them guys showed up to rescue me when they found me i was laying in a in a riverbed dried up tucked under a rock the the villagers had shoved me underneath this rock and there was this one guy i had never met before and he was sitting there listening to a am fm radio and he was scrolling through the channels we hand those out for morale like the the u.s military hands those and he had one of them i recognized it and he was listening to the different channels and i could recognize the different languages german japanese and he was like hey they're talking about you and i was like okay i didn't know who he was he's kind of messing with me a little bit because i would i couldn't move and he had to sting in anyways it's not important and then um then the the guru law and a couple of the villagers came in and picked me up they had to carry me everywhere and they why why did they save you because in the movie it's confusing it is because in the movie it's like these guys save you and you don't you don't know why they're saving you when he found me they have to fight the taliban yeah can you believe that crazy so i had been crawling for a day and some change i was like crawling through the mountains and i had somehow someway got to the top of this ridgeline i was so thirsty i mean i but i thought about this there's an insanity that goes with thirst i was so i was so thirsty that i was willing to kill anything to get water i was go i mean you can't even believe it i was drinking my own urine my own blood nothing would quench the thirst i hadn't thought about this in a while and i got to the top of this ridge line and there was a waterfall and i was trying to slide down into it i was like i'm just gonna go down in here and i'm going to hit that water and it's going to be something good to drink so i tried to slide down i just took off i got uncontrollably i started sliding i rotated upside down and i remember looking over and my rifle was sliding beside me i couldn't throw that thing away it's like every time i lose it one of my boys are like hey you're gonna need this and i flipped into upside down over backwards into the river and i remember my knees hit me in the face and it knocked me out again and i was kind of i mean i was i was blobbering mess everything was broken and i i rolled over and i remember kind of sitting on all fours i picked my head up and i looked up and there was that water fountain there and i remember sliding down this is the craziest thing i had thought about this and i remember seeing this little pool of water and i was like oh it'd be a great place to get something to drink so i climbed i crawled back up into this thing and i leaned into that waterfall and i remember washing my face and hands my gloves were i had gloves on the mechanic gloves and all the fingers were ripped out and the palms were ripped out so i just kind of and it was the best water i ever had i'll never forget it it's cold and uh i was hurting real bad and i remember hearing somebody screaming at me and i kind of turned around over my shoulder there's a guy standing there looking at me pointing at me he was like taliban taliban so i swung around with my rifle and then all of a sudden behind me again there was i could hear someone screaming at me they're like and i look up and there's this guy standing on the hill that i've just fallen off of but he didn't have a weapon he was just pointing at me and then there were some guys on the ridgeline moving around they had weapons i saw him so i turned back around and i kind of started to crawl i was like man i was in a channelized area it was kind of bad and i i remember i was leaning against this rock i was sitting on my my butt i had my rifle man i was breathing i couldn't breathe i bit my tongue in half and i was like that was a crazy story but the guy screamed at me again i turned around to shoot and he he saw me and he dug behind this rock and then i mean right over my left shoulder probably 30 yards not even that i hear american american and i kind of turned around and it was uh gulab one of the main villagers who rescued me and i turned around on him i had my gun at my hip my safety was off my attention was out of my trigger and he was kind of looking i mean we were staring each other straight in the eyes and i i mean i was like like death you know how you can smell death when it's there i was like man okay let's go and uh yeah i don't know why i didn't kill him i don't know why i didn't i didn't have to even go to my shoulder to kill him i mean i had the tension out of my trigger i was just sitting there looking at him he was looking at me and he was he wouldn't say he said american a couple of times then he said it again i was like taliban and he was like american and then he kind of put his hands up and i came off my trigger kind of wanted to kill him and he started walking down on me he's like okay okay okay okay shampoo hydrate shampoo hydration he's telling me shampoo that's what he said two english words he knew i was like shampoo hydrate you know how good that sounded i was like bro i would love some water and if you want to wash my hair it's so funny so if you ever get into a bad situation and you're about to lose your mind just stay shampoo and hydrate and you'll be fine dude i'm like can you believe that that's what he said to me that's crazy and i dropped my muzzle down and he walked up on me and i pulled a grenade out i pulled the pin don't ever do that and i was gonna like if you try something i'll just kill us all i don't care but then he kind of rolled me over and he's like it's okay i got you you know i could just tell you know how when you can tell like hey man i got you i freaking got you you can feel that like you can feel if someone's like hey man i i got you and then i'm gonna jack you up later and this guy was like man i got you man and i re-pinned that grenade i'll never forget i was like i heard you're not supposed to i mean there's so much crazy stuff anyways all these kids came running out from everywhere and they picked me up i couldn't walk and they carried me down started carrying me down the ridge line into the into the valley there was a village down there and then the kids and everybody they were laughing and and whatnot and they pulled me into this room and they started kind of doctoring they doctored me up stopped my bleeding patched me up gave me all the water i could drink and then the taliban came in after that and then snatched me up but so how much of what what was in the script i know you didn't see the movie but how much of what was in the script was accurate every bit of it everybody died like in the movie when you see those guys falling down a mountain looks cool imagine going past cool to when it looks like chaos imagine playing your favorite sport on the side of a mountain with people shooting at you it didn't look cool i was like it looked terrific sexy i mean i i it was terrible i mean like it's getting ripped apart and like we would come in and the guys would just be like matt was shot in the face and it was kind of his eyes were gone like i'm a medic some of them were bad someone was bad but then you know i was like i didn't know what to do i just started i never knew what to do ain't that crazy i was like man it's well trained i was like i got my ass in a pickle i couldn't get out i didn't know what to do and i would just sit there and there'd be times when i when i would talk thinking about my brother and all my buddies i was like hey man you guys have done stupid i'm still here come get me and then i could see aircraft flying overhead and i was like i'm right here and they would just keep flying and then someone was trying to kill me like a wall would blow up or a bullet would zip through the wall and then they'd have to move me man it was a hell of a week it was rough they left me in this hole for a while they buried me and uh i was like man i'm a foreign man a foreign land everybody's dead i know i mean who knows where i'm at i was in hell i was literally in hell and if it wasn't for them i mean and the way that whole thing worked out i i it's funny what i talk about it's it's hard to wrap your head around it right like man why am i even sitting here because y'all came and got me i couldn't believe it i couldn't believe it when y'all showed up i signed up to be an expendable asset to die if necessary that was the sexiest thing i ever heard of i was nobody i'm you know i have a special skill i was expendable asset and you work till you become dependable and they'll kind of keep you around so when you all showed up i couldn't believe it i couldn't believe it i remember talking to them guys like man i can't believe you all made it out here we were out in the middle of nowhere and then and then um the first time i ever got like scared was when they when they were with me and trying to get me out of there i was like hey man i hope y'all can get me out of here is that selfish i was like man that's selfish is it i was like i sure would like to live man and they threw i mean it was a crate to get me out of there was the it's a whole different movie all together those green berets and those ranchers and pete pj's that were on that plane on the hill on the hill the pilots like spanky he was one of the pilots at skinny when they came in they came in to crash they don't ever talk about that like he had to crash that bird on the side of a mountain to get to get in there and he did it he didn't give a he's like watch this boom and just brought it in i mean there's a gun fight going on from the top and the bottom every aircraft we had in country was wagging like spinning overhead the specters that's the hand of god you know or the finger of god i mean the the weapon rehab man they can look down on you and just erase you and they got me out of there i couldn't

Just hopped in the subreddit to find this very thing out lol

[u/AN0Nc0nformist]

Hold up, he goes to take a piss and the episode ended. Wtf?

[u/Danny_Ocean_11]

This guy has to have some severe PTSD right? I have never seen anyone story tell like this.

[u/Jayhoffa75]

We're here with torches, WHERE'S OUR GODAM EPISODE SPOTIFY!!!

[u/glemmstengal]

because spotify sucks ass and that isn't just me being a crybaby bitch.. it has constant buffering issues with the podcasts even if you set them to audio only AND download them before leaving your wifi coverage area. how does a downloaded audio only podcast buffer? never had any issues streaming OR listening to downloaded pocasts on google podcasts.. spotify is just an inferior experience

[u/apace119]

At the end of the episode Marcus said he needs to pee and episode ends...?

Will there be a 2nd part,... Man I hate Spotify but good on Joe for taking the 100 mill.

[u/samvernon]

Is Marcus still taking a pee?
