This man makes a saving private Ryan joke in the face of a man about to cry about his dying friend.

You can see the pain in his eyes...truly humbling.

The comment of “saving private Mace” was wildly inappropriate, and is deserving of a fist to the face.

Just watched "The Outpost" and read into this gentleman's story, what an incredible man and soldier.

"I hope it never leaves " This is the guy you want on your side.

Not gonna lie, dude has a pretty dope beard

I can not believe he sat through that interview and kept his cool, especially after the horrible attempt at a joke. So much respect to him.

Who’s here after the outpost movie?

“Once he left his brothers, he knew he could go home.” Jesus man R.I.P

“Saving Private Mace?” Are you kidding me? Why would he say that?!

Veterans need better treatment.

“We are about to make you care” what an absolute legend! Thank you and all others who serve. God bless and may the fallen rest in peace.

“We’re going to make you care.” Such a badass.

Why is the interviewer smiling in the face of someone who is obviously struggling to tell the story?

I met these boys coming home when they came through Bahgram AFB. They looked tired and worn out. I shook their hands. My heart went out to them. I heard about the attack when it happened. #SalutemyBros SGT Sapp

I was a 9 year old little kid at this time. All this death, all this heart break, and 20 year old young men like me today, didn't even know. Despite gaining nothing out of any loss our soilders take defending us, I thank them to making it possible that all of us young men can be here today, to know about those sacrifices.

6:46 not a good time for a joke...........

Saving private Mace? Are you serious?

“These things aren’t given out when something went right !!” What an impact statement!!!

I saw the out post and it was a great movie depiction, but this HERO Lived it!! It sent a chill down my spine when he very bluntly said when referring to the MOH.. "They dont give these things out because everything went right" Its MEN like these that are true American Heroes and need to be Celebrated.. Thank you Sgt Romesha for your service and Sacrifice! God Bless you and ease your pain.. THANK YOU !

More men like him, less men like the interviewer. Jesus Christ

He just smiled a guy who went to Afghanistan and watched his friend die and said " in the end I guess it all came down to saving private mace" Epic Face palm

What a legend. "We would rather take our chances with our own bombs than be shot by the enemy." That is an incredibly difficult call to make. My heart goes to to SGT Keating.

The interviewer looks to be holding back a smile for most of the interview. That’s disturbing.

Whoever chose the position for that outpost should have been held responsible for the deaths of all those brave soldiers.

6:46 This oblivious attempt at humor has gone down as a meme in cringe compilations.

I have had the honor of meeting more than a few MOH recipients. They all share a trait - they are quietly humble and immensely proud of those they served with- My first recipient was Col Wesley Fox who was my CO for awhile. You didn't have to know his story to know that you were in the presence of greatness. I strive every single day leading my people now to be 20-50% as amazing as they are- I fail sometimes but I keep trying.

Those dudes that “just walked in” were lit tf up

RIP Martin Mace Gallegos B Troop 3rd Squadron 61st Calvary Regiment 4th Brigade Combat Teams. Can’t believe I found this.

"I hope it never leaves." What a statement. God Bless you.

"We're about to make you care". Everything he says is extremely powerful, happy this dude made it home. He deserves everything he has, I hope nothing but the best.

I just saw “the outpost” really touching story! Thank you for your service!🙏🏾

The interviewer was terrible. Stupid smirk on his face

Seeing this soldier fight his emotions was rough. God bless this country and it’s brave men and women.

You can clearly see the pain in his eyes... You are a hero Sir! Although you might not feel like it, but you are. I'm 100% sure that your friends (fallen fellows) were also very proud of you..

Dear Lord, what a humble man. His heart is still so heavy with love for this friend that is spoken of, but I’m sure it’s not just one of his fallen friends, but all of them. I’ve watched a lot of stories from soldiers and the one thing that stands out above all other, is the true bond that they have for one another. You can read it on their faces...they would take a bullet for each other . Such courage and bravery in the face of certain death. When listening to these men tell their stories, it’s obvious they are completely devoted to their fellow men. They each put their lives on the line with no thought of self and certainly no thought of medals. No matter which side you come down on the subject of war, you have to admit that men like these are deserving of our respect. My daddy fought in WWII and Korea. He said that he spent many nights in a freezing shallow hole with bullets flying over his head and he said the most important thing you had with you was the man in the hole beside you. Men such as this man truly define the meaning of “HERO.” From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Who is this god awful interviewer!? So disrespectful.

I wonder who the genius was that thought it would be a good idea to put a post down in a hole where you a lower than all the ground around you.

Jesus... When he said I hope the memory never leaves" that hit hard in my chest

The pain in this mans voice and the pain in this mans eyes kills me! I hope you find peace brother ‘nemo me impune lacessit’ from a Scottish guy in the British army I love your story and wish nothing but peace for you and your family god bless brother 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

I am absolutely not a tactician by any means, but the first thing I thought of when they showed that picture was, "damn they must've been getting rained on, with all those hills surrounding them." What a shame they got hung out to dry by some officer behind a desk somewhere.

bless this man and his glorious beard

Here I am in 2020 I just finished watching The Outpost on Netflix. This was a sad story but a heroic one at that. Especially the soldier that ran with all the ammo. I think the trauma hit him the hardest but he never gave up during the fight after seeing so many people die. True warrior. I hope he’s doing better. He was the one that decided to go and get Mace after he was bleeding out for 45 minutes. Damn sad this happened. Who ever put them in that pit should be taken out of the Military because that position was the lowest of all low ground.

"These things aren't given out when something went right. A lot of stuff went wrong" ❤️

You'll probably never meet me and you don't know me but I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart I am proud to be in a country that you protect

I just finished reading "Red Platoon" It's definitely worth the read. It absolutely infuriates me that our men were forced into this situation. I understand that sometimes in war you have to do things that aren't easy or the ideal choice, but to put this outpost where they did is mind boggling. Based on what I read in the book, every single man sent their new that it was a horrible location, and they new it was a matter of time before the Taliban attacked in large scale and our guys would get their asses handed to them. That is exactly what happened. They even predicted how the Taliban attack would play out, and it is exactly what would happen. What a failure on the higher ups part to send these men there.

“Saving private mace” I hope this interviewer was fired, what is wrong with this man

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things!! So much Respect!!

Words cannot express the sorrow you feel for such loss and the lost of your friends. Thank you for sharing your story, it is deeply moving and it is a good way to remember your friends. With respect and in remembrance of your fellow warriors.

I’m gay

Guys stop making fun of the interviewer. I don't have time to like them all ;)

Our soldiers and Marines were often put in bad - even deadly - situations by incompetent "career" officers, who should have been prosecuted for negligent homicide.

This interviewer pisses me off. So insensitive with all his questions.

The interviewer is about to be RKO'd

“You don’t have a care in the world, well we’re about to make you care.” That line got me man damn..

His beard alone received a Medal of Honor also.

Every veteran I have met that has seen combat say the same thing, "I saw some stuff and I did some stuff".

I love that ol' civil war beard!

I salute you and all who fought with you, warrior.

Thank you for you and your platoons bravery in this battle, this may seem shallow but what you went through and endured is what this country was built on. God Bless you all.

A real hero! Typical MOH recipient . . .A very humble man that had to do what needed done! I've met several of these men and ever time I'm in AWE of them!

You can see the pain on his face. He did everything one person could do. He will never get over this.

The expressions on that mans face reflect the pain it would take any other person multiple lifetimes to experience, the fact he suffered so much in 1 day and still keeps moving makes me feel unfathomable respect for him and sorrow for the brave men lost.

Absolutely terrible interviewer. This guy has zero self awareness.

you are given orders, you do NOT question those orders, you go to where you are ordered to go. before ppl criticize, pick up a weapon get your boots on and follow orders. salute you guys

THIS MAN IS BROKEN GOD PLZ HELP HIM WITH ALL HE'S PAIN 😢

His story and the way his emotions show really gets to me and I am proud to be an American and I am a American because of brave men and women like him... GOD BLESS HIM AND ALL THOSE WHO SERVE

Very impacting statement he made at the end. I hope it never leaves me. You are a hero my friend. A fellow Warrior even, of those of us who went before and who serve after you. No doubt in my mind

I wish I had half the courage these young guys had. I served and saw action, but remember wholeheartedly being scared out of my mind. I just figured I wasnt gonna be much help other than maybe catching a round that could take out one of the heros. Resigned to my fate of depriving the enemy of one more bullet, i did what I could, but have always looked at everyone else as the only reason I made it home.

Someone ordered these American kids there and is now hiding under a rock. That individual ought to be identified and pay with his/her life.

❤️ And 🙏s for you soldier even after the years gone buy. I sincerely hope you are doing well these days.

Man... I don’t even know what to say. I can always tell when someone has seen war. Their eyes are stones almost. Thank you 🙏🏼 we love you.

I mean this with the utmost respect to the men who fought and died and lived through this event. I would like to see this story told through a hollywood camera lens, but with military accuracy to the fact-Not hollywood flare. Stories such as this one need not be forgotten by the masses. I know this is little consolation, but I thank you all for you service and my freedom.

"I hope it never leaves"

I'm sorry for your losses Mr. Romesha. And I'm sorry that the events of this life transpired in such a way for you and your comrades. Utmost respect to you and your friends ❤

God bless you soldier thanks for your time and bless all the fallen soldier's may they rest in peace

I love this man with all my heart. I'm sorry that you had to go through what you did.

True American Hero! Thanks for your service and sacrifice

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE AND SERVICE, SIR. WELCOME HOME.

The thoughts and words of a decent human being, a rare find indeed!

The pain in this mans eyes breaks my heart. Thank you to every serviceman and woman that serves to protect our great country. God bless the USA!

Thank you to all of our vets. For those that have seen war I pray you find peace.

Couldnt imagine going through this and coming out the other side. Much respect to this man and the men who fought that day and the ones who didnt make it.

The utmost respect and thank you soldier to this man ! Our hats are off to you !!

Thank you for your service sir! I hope you have a great life, you deserve it. Live for them.

Clint, I hope you read this brother-you may not think you deserve the MOH, but you do deserve it, simply for your actions. Again, I'm so sorry to hear how many men you lost that day, but you keep your head high and keep moving forward and the pain will diminish over time. Thank you for your service and God bless.

Man that"Hope it never leaves." Hit my chest like a mule kick. I shed a tear for that.

I met Clint in November of 2019 at an event in Akron Ohio honoring service members and got to hang out with him and other veterans for 6 hours. He’s a super humble dude and it was an absolute honor to spend time with him!

you, sir; are a fine hero. I'm so sorry about your friends. ken lott; navy.

A hero carrying the weight forever. Thank you for your service. The only thing that bothers me about interviews like this is that the reporters asking the questions usually seem like vultures to me...trying to elicit responses that will make the interviewee tear up and get emotional...all to try to get higher ratings for the show. It almost always seems predatory to me.

We can't be more proud of our men a woman that sacrifice so much..god bless you all...

Thank you for your service sir. Your friends are gonne but not forgotten. May they rest in peace.

Damn, I wish I had a beard like that.

This guy looks great for a civil war vet

After watching the movie "The Outpost" it really puts into perspective what these guys actually went through! Well played sir you ALL are truly HEROS.

This guy is courage is something else. What an inspiration do the rest of us..

His words on 7:48 ..... after he was asked that question... resonates with me... I was there during the invasion in 2003 Iraq... and did 2 additional tours of combat as a scout..... I have lost brothers and felt the sting of losses.... but the continuing feeling of pain ..... keeps me alive.... THEY DIED,..... SO I CAN BE HERE!.....

God bless this country and may God bless the men who protect it. I hope things like this never happen again.

I know they don t like the title but they are true heros. God bless them all. I m so proud to live in a nation of men like these.

I served in the Army from 14 years old ,,,,,,46 years. This man and many like him inspired me in my life!
