Marcus Luttrell Remembers Real Life "Lone Survivor" Rescue

The Jurogan Experience there are so many things that we kept from the story that if I told you you wouldn't believe me now when it comes to the movie, we shot it around the shooting, so we shot the movie around the shooting. because that was when everyone was alive. I thought you shouldn't have known that I was going to be the guy who came out when they cast the actors. I thought, so if you get someone like a top actor and then all of them will know that he was the one who made it out. I thought when you're watching the movie you shouldn't know that, of course, Hollywood kind of does its thing, but the craziest part of that whole operation. he was getting me out of there and that wasn't in the movie in the movie they did an excerpt in daylight like they came in, landed a couple of shots and got out of there in

real

life

, it wasn't like that, it was amazing I mean, It was one night and I mean the world was exploding.

We were in this like a volcano, like sitting in the middle of this volcano and I remember looking down the mountain, there was a river running down, I'm serious. It seemed like miles away and they had moved me, they had to carry me, I couldn't walk and they liked it and we ran into the green beret rangers, it was a hodgepodge, let me tell you something when those guys showed up. Rescue me when they found me. He was lying on a dry river bed hidden under a rock. The villagers had pushed me under this rock and there was this guy I had never met before and he was sitting there listening to an FM. radio and he was going through the channels that we give out for morale like the US military gives them out and he had one of them, I recognized him and he was listening to the different channels and I was able to recognize the different languages ​​German Japanese and he was Like hey, they're talking about you and I was like, well, I didn't know who he was, he's like playing with me a little bit because I couldn't move and he had to bite anyway, it's not important and then um, so the guru's law and a couple of villagers came and picked me up, they had to carry me everywhere and why did they save you because in the movie it's confusing because in the movie it's like these guys saved you. and no you don't know why they are saving you when he found me they have to fight the taliban yeah can you believe that madness?

So I was crawling for a day and with some change, it was like crawling through the mountains. and somehow he had reached the top of this ridge. I was so thirsty. I mean, but I thought about this. There is a madness that goes with thirst. He was so thirsty that he was willing to kill anything to get water. Wow, I mean, you can't even believe it. I was drinking my own urine. My own blood. Nothing would quench the thirst. I hadn't thought about this in a while and I got to the top of this ridge and there was a waterfall and I was trying to slide down.

I thought I was just going to come down here and hit that water and it was going to be something good to drink, so I tried to slide down and just took off. Uncontrollably I started to slide, I turned upside down and I remember looking and my rifle was sliding next to me. I couldn't throw that thing away. It's like every time I lose it, one of my guys says, "Hey, you're going to need this." I turned around face down and with my back to the river and I remember my knees hitting me in the face and it knocked me out again and I was like, I mean I was drooling, everything was broken and I turned around and I remember something like that. sitting on all fours I raised my head and looked up and there was a water fountain there and I remember sliding down.

This is the craziest thing I've ever thought about this and I remember seeing this little puddle of water and thinking, oh, that. It would be a great place to have a drink, so I went up and got back into this thing and leaned over to that waterfall and I remember washing my face and my hands, my gloves were the ones I had on the mechanic's gloves and all the Fingers were ripped off and my palms were ripped off, so it was the best water I've ever had. I will never forget her. It's cold and it hurt a lot and I remember hearing someone yelling at me and I turned around.

Over my shoulder there's a guy standing there looking at me pointing at me, it was like Taliban Taliban so I turned with my rifle and then suddenly behind me again I could hear someone yelling at me, they're like and I looked up and there was a guy standing on the hill I had just fallen off, but he didn't have a gun, he was just pointing it at me and then there were some guys on the ridge moving around, they had guns. I saw it. So I turned around and started crawling. He was like a man. It was in a channeled area.

It was a bit bad. I remember I was leaning against this rock. I was sitting on my butt. I had my rifle. breathing I couldn't breathe I bit my tongue in half and I thought it was a crazy story but the guy yelled at me again I turned to shoot and he saw me and he dug behind this rock and then I mean right over my left shoulder probably 30 yards I didn't even hear American American and I turned around and it was uh gulab one of the main villagers who

rescue

d me and I turned to him I had my gun on my hip my safety was off my attention was off my trigger and he I was like looking, I mean, we were staring into each other's eyes and I mean, it was like death, you know how you can smell death when it's there, I was like, man, okay, come on and uh. yeah, I don't know why I didn't kill him, I don't know why I didn't, I didn't even have to get over the shoulder to kill him, I mean I had the tension off my trigger, I was just sitting there looking at him, he was looking at me and He didn't say, he said American a couple of times and then he said it again I was like Taliban and he was like American and then he put his hands up and I let my trigger go like I wanted to kill him and he started walking towards me.

He said, "Okay, okay, okay, hydrated shampoo shampoo hydration he's telling me shampoo that's what he said two words in English he knew I was like hydrated shampoo you know how good that is." It sounded like, bro, I'd love some water and if you want to wash my hair, it's a lot of fun, so if you're ever in a bad situation and you're about to lose your mind, stick with the shampoo and hydrate yourself and you'll be good. Dude, I said, can you believe that's what he told me? That's crazy and I put my nose down and he came up to me and I pulled out a grenade, I pulled the safety pin, never do that and I was going to like it.

If you try anything I'll just kill us all, I don't care, but then he turned me around and said okay, I got you, you know, I could tell you how, when you can say it, hey, man, I got it. I've got you damn, you can feel that like you can feel if someone says, "Hey, man, I've got you and then I'm going to pick you up later," and this guy said, man, I've got you, man, and I fixed that grenade again. I will never forget. I thought I heard you're not supposed to do it. I mean, there are so many crazy things anyway.

All these kids came running from everywhere and picked me up. I couldn't walk and they carried me. They started carrying me along the road. ridge line towards the valley there was a town down there and then the kids and everyone was laughing and everything and they took me to this room and they started healing me, they healed me, they stopped my bleeding, they patched me up, they handed me over. all the water I could drink and then the Taliban came in after that and then they grabbed me, but how much of what was in the script?

I know you didn't see the movie, but how much of what was in the script was accurate? Every part of it, everyone died like in the movie, when you see those guys fall down a mountain, it looks great, imagine having a great time even when it looks like chaos, imagine playing your favorite sport on the side of a mountain with people shooting at you, That's how it went. It didn't look great, it was like it looked incredibly sexy, I mean, it was terrible, I mean, like it was being torn apart and like we walked in and the guys just looked like Matt had been shot in the face and his eyes. they were as if they were.

I left as if I were a doctor. Some of them were bad. Someone was bad. But then you know I was like I didn't know what to do. I just started. I never knew what to do. Isn't that crazy? I was like man, okay. trained, it was like my butt was in a bind, I couldn't get out, I didn't know what to do and I would just sit there and there were times when I would talk thinking about my brother and all my Friends, I thought, hey guys, you guys have done a stupid thing. I'm still here, come get me and then I could see planes flying above me and I thought, I'm here and they would still be flying and then someone was trying to kill me.

Like a wall exploded or a bullet went through the wall and then they had to move me, man, it was an amazing week, it was hard, they left me in this hole for a while, they buried me and, uh, I was like man, I'm a foreign man , a foreign land, everyone is dead, I know, I mean, who knows where I am, I was in hell, I was literally in hell and if it wasn't for them, I mean, and the way it all worked out. It's funny what I'm talking about, it's hard to understand, as a man, why am I sitting here because you guys came and got me?

I could not believe it. I couldn't believe it when you guys showed up I signed up to be an expendable asset to die if necessary that was the sexiest thing I've ever heard I was nobody I'm you know I have a special ability I was an expendable asset and you work until you become reliable and they I'll keep them close, so when they all showed up, I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it. I remember talking to them guys, as a man, I can't believe you all made it out here. We were in the middle of nowhere and then, and then, um, the first time I got scared was when they were with me and trying to get me out of there, I thought, hey man, I hope everyone can get me out of here, that's how selfish I am.

It was like man, that's selfish, it was like I would like to live, man, and they pulled, I mean, it was a box to get me out of there, it was a whole different movie, all together, those green berets, those ranchers and the pajamas of Pete. who were in that plane on the hill on the hill the pilots liked spanky he was one of the skinny pilots when they came in they came to crash they never talk about it like he had to crash that bird into the side of a mountain to get there and He did it, he didn't care, it's like seeing this boom and he just brought it, I mean, there's a shooting from above and below, all the planes we had in the country were moving like circling above the ghosts, that's it the hand of God, you know, or the finger of God, I mean the gun rehab guy, they can look at you and just erase you and they got me out of there.

I could not believe it. I hadn't thought about that in a while. Catch new episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience for free only on Spotify. Check out JRE's video catalog on Spotify, including clips.
