The Battle of Wanat occurred
The Battle of Wanat occurred on July 13, 2008, at a remote outpost in Wanat, Afghanistan, where 48 U.S. and 24 Afghan soldiers were almost overrun by over 200 Taliban & AQ fighters. With only 11 days left before returning home, the Paratroopers of Chosen Company engaged in an over 4-hour long battle at close quarters; ultimately holding their ground in the end, 9 U.S. paratroopers were KIA during the fight and 27 seriously wounded, making it one of the single-deadliest battles throughout the War in Afghanistan. 11 Paratroopers earned Silver Stars for their actions that day, with SSG Ryan Pitts also earning the Medal of Honor.

To my regular viewers, I understand this is not a normal video considering it is an hour and a half long and also not related to gaming; however, I want to have it on here for those that are willing to watch and learn about what these guys went through and to make sure their stories are never forgotten. I promise it is worth the time.
