There are three lieutenants there, but they do not have a commander, and they are still in the middle of battle. You don’t want the president of the United States running a war. And now I have four more months at this place.
Add to your scrapbook. HH: We’ll continue with a long segment on the other side of this break, Jake, but I wanted to ask you there are a lot of smells in The Outpost, a lot of hooches that you just don’t want to go into, and your nose crinkles, and a lot of people are wearing the same clothes again and again. or don't show this again—I am good at figuring things out. But their colonels, Col. George and Lt. Col. Brown, they really don’t want this base. We don’t want Johnson picking bombing targets, right? Specialist Mace did not. And he was marginalized for saying that, because there were people who did not think that that was the case, and he was not supposed to say that, and nobody really spoke out against command decisions like that since. Who is responsible for decisions like this where men are stuck out in a cavalry outpost waiting for Sitting Bull? I’ll get him. JT: This was also something that I learned while writing this book, because you’re right. MikeOnline.com, And I’ve got to ask, since I didn’t know anything about this battle or Kunar Province, when did you come to find out about this?
He’s a friend of mine. Robert Yllescas is lost. He looks down at the river and sees about two dozen naked Afghan women between the ages of like 20 and 30 or so, you know, splashing each other and having a fight, a fun fight. HH: And in fact, Combat Operating Outpost Keating becomes, COP Keating becomes named for another lieutenant who, like Lt. Col. Fenty, dies as a result of the terrain. And what if two tribes, or two different ethnic groups are fighting, and committing barbaric, horrific acts against one another? JT: I’m exactly the same as you. They had their own adventure there. Are you sure that you want to delete this photo? And I told her, you know, I had to pay money out of my pocket to put in all these lyrics from Folsom Prison Blues, but it was worth it.
He didn’t want anybody else to have to go through the pain or suffering of what might happen. Breed, Jeremy Jones as PFC Jordan Wong, Scott Coffey as Michael Scusa, Jack DeVos as Sgt.
I don’t know exactly what he meant by that, but Harder at the time was in Afghanistan thinking that you know, I don’t think the President is getting the full story about all this.
But they’re not, this war isn’t about just Special Forces. And his wife and her mother and mother-in-law were very, very religious people. Before we go there, though, Jake, I want to ask you about…the angriest I was in the book is at the end when I read the report from Major General Guy Swan III, condemning people at COP Keating. What issues are on the ballot in California and Los Angeles County. And I said send me. I mean, finally, COP Keating, after having a commander killed, Tom Bostick in 2007, a commander assassinated, Rob Yllescas in 2008, a commander later described by the Army investigators as weak, Captain Mel Porter, who leaves, they finally get this guy, Stoney Portis, True Grit, who is ready to fortify the camp and be there for his men. It’s local groups, Taliban and HIG, and it’s Pakistan.

Mostly, it does privates and sergeants and lieutenants and captains, but it does do generals. And three, part of it was to be near some of the people in the region. I don’t think that the medical care was always what it needed to be, but that’s also what happens when you have these outposts on the front lines in obscure and remote corners of the world. And it falls to one of the lieutenants, Andrew Bundermann, to take command and take charge.
You mentioned Steven Pressfield in passing. And these are guys, I mean, the most important thing is that Colonel Randy George and Lt. Col. Brown were trying to close this base. I’m curious what your reaction was when you read that report.
Different divisions are involved, but that’s going to be my shorthand. Barbarians, bulldogs, bastards, Black Knights, this dizzying array of armaments and acronyms – how did you learn all this? But he was marginalized after he testified before Congress that at least a couple hundred thousand troops will be needed in Iraq after the invasion. HH: Wow.
Our mission is to get Southern California reading and talking. Heathe Craig of the 159th Medical Company rides something called a jungle penetrator. And soldiers are just standing there like what world are we living in now where this is how we get resupplied? And as you point out, the book is more than just the October 3rd battle, and the reason for that, Hugh, is that once I got a little bit of publicity for the fact that I had signed a book contract to write the story of The Outpost, of the attack, and the original working title of the book was Enemy On The Wire, because it was just going to be about the attack, and who these troops were, who were there October 3rd, 2009, is that other soldiers, other officers got in touch with me, because they wanted their stories told, too, because…not their own stories, but they wanted the stories of their squadrons, their troops, their fallen comrades, they wanted those stories told, too. It’s a very amazing book, and I salute you for doing it, and I think people in and around the military all over the world will thank you for doing it. And I reached a few of the people, a few of the troops who had served there, a couple of, Sergeant First class John Hill and Sergeant Eric Harder, and I started talking to them.
Please enter your email address and we will send you an email with a reset password code. And as we know, and this is one of the lessons in the book, the logistical backup can be everything. HH: And how in the world will they resupply people? And at the end of it, on Page 286, you write Dave Roller, the lieutenant, was distraught at the loss of Bostick. Save to an Ancestry Tree, a virtual cemetery, your clipboard for pasting or Print. But the story of Ed Faulkner is deeply arresting and sobering. Maybe now people would know what happened at COP Keating. The first time I read it, I read it without knowing much about the COP, and knowing that it was disputed, but that…and these people were reprimanded – a colonel, lieutenant colonel and two captains, one who had served there, and one who had been serving there for a couple of weeks.
He said I hate to say it, but it was a brilliant attack.
HH: I am curious if she thinks, and the spouses think, their husbands got the best medical care available. The sponsor of a memorial may add an additional, No animated GIFs, photos with additional graphics (borders, embellishments. JT: No, I agree. Did that change you? Jake Tapper of ABC News, thank you so much. Many of them hid, many of them pillaged the Americans’ rooms.
They did everything they could to keep this one guy, Stephan Mace, alive.
HH: Oh, that is an agonizing decision. HH: It is also deeply inspiring, and not just for people inclined to military history, but to the ordinary reader. And then, I mean, it’s just the land is so dangerous that it’s the kind of thing that actually doesn’t get a lot of coverage in the U.S., because it’s so difficult to understand. But in any case, apologize for the editorial comment. U.S. ARMY PFC, FORT CARSON, CO 09/16/2010, ELON, NC, U.S.A. PFC Edward Wesley Faulkner Jr. was born July 6, 1983 in Burlington, NC to Edward Wesley Faulkner Sr. and Sharon Austin Faulkner, both of the home and formerly of Rockbridge County, VA. But I couldn’t get too deep into it.
Try again later. Time: 2:23 P.M. EDT. GREAT NEWS! And the troops from 1-91 are not ready for it. And that’s how he died.
But I wonder if either of them really get a sense of what is described here in The Outpost? Failed to report flower. And also combined, to be quite candid, with a sense of worthlessness, just because these people do so much for us, and yeah, it’s nice that I took the time to write their stories, but I mean, what they do is so powerful and so meaningful and so selfless. Your Scrapbook is currently empty. He fought in COP Keating and survived again. Clint Romesha, who’s one of the Medal of Honor nominees. After doing the research for the book, it made me very angry. HH: He, on November 25th, you quote him as saying, 2006, it’s stupid and it’s dangerous, so I’m going to drive. But Ed Faulkner was a survivor. HH: And there’s one translator trapped in the toilet for it seems like 13 hours when he comes back. Plese check the I'm not a robot checkbox.'.
They made progress. JT: Yeah, I mean, I think we’re going to have, I know we’re going to have, and you know this as well, Hugh, that we will have a Special Forces component in Afghanistan for the foreseeable future.
I told him to listen today and tell all his friends, because I think this has got to be an HBO series so that non-readers understand what went on here. But Eric Harder, who was at the time, he’s back now, thank God, but he at the time was in Afghanistan having been redeployed there.
And when they attack, although this is probably just good luck by them, not planned, but when they attack, the commander is not there.
He wanted to, because they could not resupply with helicopters, he wanted to show that it could be resupplied with this truck. I’ve spent a lot of time with Joby Warrick about the CIA’s war, and I’ve talked to Rajiv Chandrasekaran about the Marines’ war in Helmand. So it was just a, the bravery was unparalleled. JT: I think they’re disappointed, a lot of them, most of the ones I’ve talked to. He’s talking about his new book, The Outpost: An Untold Story Of American Valor, linked at Hughhewitt.com, in bookstores everywhere. MetaxasTalk.com, It cannot observe. It’s just, you know, these people are touched and scarred forever because of this battle.
And this last kandak in 2009 was a bad one, for whatever reason. All photos appear on this tab and here you can update the sort order of photos on memorials you manage. JT: Yeah, it did. ). And yeah, I mean, it certainly got better from 2006 to 2009. Ultimately, they get out, but they leave Ryan Fritsche behind, and that becomes a whole other operation.
