Legion of Brothers Page #3

---

How we isolated ourselves,

our family, everything else.

Started reaching out and found,

You know, the only way we're

all gonna heal each other

Is to get back together.

- Holy sh*t.

- That's that blooper.

- Oh, there we go.

Big marky mark.

- Marky mark.

- I'm up here somewhere.

That's me right there.

- You know, in special forces,

you have a team,

And a team is 12 men.

You've got a captain,

a team sergeant,

A team warrant officer,

Two engineers, two commo,

Two medics,

two weapons sergeants.

That formulates a team,

And each team

would have a specialty,

Like high-altitude,

low-opening jumping

Or scuba diving

Or assaulting direct action.

- I was the greatest tactician

For direct action

that there was.

Back then, I thought I was

on top of the world.

- In the back.

- Right here?

- Yes.

- General franks,

again, on special forces,

Can you give us a sense

of how the size and scope

Of their mission will expand

over the next month,

From classic liaison

with northern alliance groups

And reconnaissance,

To more direct action,

Shoot-em-up ambush

type of situations?

- A short answer,

and that is that...

One should not assume

that there has not been

Strategic reconnaissance

and direct action activity.

You would not expect for me

to tell you

Exactly what they're doing.

- Evidence that another,

much more covert operation

Is well under way...

- These special forces

are trying to hunt down

Suspected terrorist

osama bin laden...

- The letter-like attacks

by commandos

To go after and root out

some of that infrastructure.

- The mission statement

was to kill or capture

Senior al-qaeda

and taliban leadership, stop.

Insert name, stop.

Insert location, stop.

At our level,

there was a big map there,

And the big map is synchronized

by who's next,

Who's on first, okay?

And then, who's on first

is a number

And a picture

and a little bit of background.

Went into one room,

it was total chaos.

Seven guys, machine guys,

Dodging bullets,

shooting people, hand-to-hand.

You run into the next room,

Guys are shooting

out the back of the window.

One guy is surrendering.

You went into the next room,

bam.

It was on-off, on-off,

on-off, on-off, on...

Helicopter home.

As a kid, I was forced

to read homer's "odyssey,"

You know, about a warrior king

trying to come home

And the family

going through its situation.

You never really understand it,

Because you don't have

the maturity.

Now, you know, you're trying

to find, you know,

The subtleties

and calmness of life.

That, right now,

is more valuable

Than a million dollars

in the bank.

- As a leader,

You have to balance, you know,
