伞兵部队是美军中的精锐部队,就这样的还被100塔利班打死9人打伤27人。
可见美军的战斗力

有个二十岁的美国鬼子兵,强奸了一个八十岁的老太婆,令人佩服啊。国家强大人民得利。这鬼子兵也许是在学雷锋做好事。为老太婆提供免费服务?

楼下的别争吵了。美国兵厉害,英勇。在伊拉克强奸完,把受害人全家杀了,烧了。美国女兵还强奸男战俘。 怎么样?

同等装备条件下,美国人不值一提,越南就是例子,阿富汗又是一个例子,他们条件都远远不及美国人。

还是少在伊拉克和阿富汗惹事吧。手伸得那么长干嘛。

在他死去的9个战友中,好象有一个中尉(First lieutenant)。也就是说他的CO也先战死了。这哥们儿应该是个头脑清醒的主。这种情况下只有死战,没有其他任河的出路,何况自己也身受重伤,想撤恐怕也没有这个能力。勇气加运气救了他的命。

当他在孤军奋战的时候,黑8还在高尔夫球场挥杆。

激战90分钟,从早上4点20打到5点50.同车7人.其他死伤的一定是被打退的增援.夜战,没能得到直升机的炮火支援.


WASHINGTON (Army News Service, June 23, 2014) -- The White House announced today that former Staff Sgt. Ryan Pitts will receive the Medal of Honor for his combat actions during an enemy engagement in Wanat in the Waygal Valley of northeastern Afghanistan, July 13, 2008.

President Barack Obama will place the Medal of Honor around Pitts' neck during a ceremony at the White House, July 21, 2014.

Pitts will be the ninth living recipient to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. The White House says Pitts and his family will join the president at the White House to commemorate his example of selfless service.

Pitts served with 2nd Platoon, Chosen Company, 2nd Battalion (Airborne), 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade.

The White House notes that Pitts' personal awards include the Bronze Star Medal w/ "V" Device, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal w/ three Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters, Army Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal with Bronze Clasp and two Loops, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Two Campaign Stars, Global War on Terrorism Medal, Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon with Numeral "4", NATO Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, Valorous Unit Award, Combat Action Badge, Pathfinder Badge and Parachutist Badge.

In the summer of 2008, Pitts, then a sergeant, and his team were part of Operation "Rock Move," meant to transfer remaining forces and capability from Combat Outpost Bella to a new location on the outskirts of a village called Wanat. The new position was Vehicle Patrol Base Kahler. COP Bella was to be closed.

The mission was expected to be the last for the Soldiers before returning home -- they'd been in Afghanistan for 14 months.

On the morning of July 13, at about 4 a.m., Pitts was manning Observation Post Topside, which was positioned east of the main base, and east of a bazaar and hotel complex in Wanat.

Shortly after, Soldiers conducting surveillance identified potential insurgents. They put together a request for fire. But before that could happen, at about 4:20 a.m, Soldiers heard machine-gun fire from the north. After that, the valley erupted in enemy fire.

Soldiers at OP Topside were hit with small arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades and hand grenades. Pitts and six other paratroopers at OP Topside were injured in the initial volley of enemy fire. Two paratroopers were killed. Pitts took grenade shrapnel in both legs and his left arm.

For more than an hour after, Pitts continued to fight and defend his position and his teammates, despite his injuries.

Throughout the battle, despite the loss of blood and severity of his wounds, Pitts' incredible toughness, determination, and ability to communicate with leadership while under fire allowed U.S. forces to hold the observation post and turn the tide of the battle.

Without his ability to stay alert and fight while critically wounded, the enemy would have gained a foothold on high ground and inflicted significantly greater causalities onto the vehicle patrol base, and the enemy could have been in possession of the fallen Soldiers at the observation post.

Nine Soldiers -- Spc. Sergio Abad, Cpl. Jonathan Ayers, Cpl. Jason Bogar, 1st Lt. Jonathan Brostrom, Sgt. Israel Garcia, Cpl. Jason Hovater, Cpl. Matthew Phillips, Cpl. Pruitt Rainey, and Cpl. Gunnar Zwilling -- were killed in the battle.

当时和这个士兵在一起的有另外九个美国士兵,所以不是孤身一人对付200敌人,只是另外9个美国兵都战死了,只剩他一人。
他在领奖仪式上讲到,那九个阵亡的士兵才是真正应该的这勋章的人。
无论是哪个国家的士兵(美国还是中国),英勇的军人都值得称赞。

按某人说法,志愿军都是死在美国人的枪炮之下了?问一问韩国的李承晚,他能接受某人的说法吗?

最后不管怎么样,他还是被美军救了回来,这要是中国英雄,怕是会主动要求和塔利班同归于尽了。从这点上来说,美军士兵更人性化。

但是我实在看不出这人和英雄有什么联系,首先他是被困在哨所里面了,又不是主动坚守阵地拒绝撤退。其次这人最后是被救出来的,为了救他还重伤一个,要是他凭一挺机枪和足够弹药最后压制住了200塔利班,然后成功脱身,那他是英雄。

美国小飞刀,我支持里,二战美军29万杀了德军350万,日军185万,挽救了全球,是世界的英雄,对吧。

那其它各国在打谁了?和鬼在打二战?还是了那么多人。

虽然塔利班人数占优但还是很难想象美军会这么狼狈,空军和炮兵的支援都没跟上。

---2008年7月13日,Ryan Pitts和战友们在阿富汗昆纳省遭遇塔利班埋伏。战斗打响后,9名美军士兵先后被打死,另有27名美军士兵受伤。Ryan Pitts所处的观察哨位很快就只剩下了他一个人。---

美国小飞刁,仔细看过这段吗,200塔利班一开战,就把美军打死九人,打伤27人,这是几比几啊?
也来凑热闹 发表评论于
这样一场战斗简直就是美军的耻辱。塔利班没有空军的支援,没有重型武器,士兵装备跟武装到牙齿的美军士兵相比简直就是儿戏。然而在这种情况下,这场战斗在不到两个小时的时间里,美军死9个,27个失去了战斗能力,最后一个也被打成了重伤,救他的时候又重伤了一个,太让人不可思议了!!!

以为是一个人,把攻上来的200人大下去了,
结果是,“一个人向高处的塔利班猛烈开火”,还准确知道是200人?

虽然他不断呼叫增援,但身边战友要么受伤,要么撤走,后方增援力量也迟迟不能到位。无耐之下,Ryan Pitts一个人向高处的塔利班猛烈开火。
-------------------------------------
可以见到,美国军队的快速反应能力实在不怎样。此人只是在绝望后为了生存而不得不争斗。至于是否有200多塔利班,还不是由他自己说了算。
