Combat cameraman and a TSE guy, technical surveillance guy. And then one Terp was back there, but he survived everything. So the turret gunner, his, his gun got completely sheared off the barrel and a chunk of the barrel, um, I think went essentially either a piece of plasma or that chunk went through Jason Lewis's chest.

And so one of my first experiences doing this medevac was assessing what was going on. And that was, that was hard seeing those guys. um, Bobby, the combat cameraman, was still alive, essentially, but he was bent over because his face was just splayed open with blood coming out of him trying to breathe.

So when we eventually got the medevac, he didn't make it on the 20- or 25-minute ride back to the medics on our medevac. So those were the—he was the—him and those guys were the first to go on the first load. Because the driver of that vehicle got a piece of that plasma lodged into his leg, like right onto a nerve.

And I think that it cauterized the nerve, so his leg actually survived for a while after that. But he— Badass just continued to drive. He didn't swap out. He said, fuck it, I'm driving, right? So we get off the X. I'm dropping, you know, 40 mic mics and 105s on bad guys shooting at us from rooftops on our way out. And I start working a medevac. We've got two Apaches overhead.

we get to this little Marine outpost in the middle of solder city. They just like, dude, I can't even imagine their experience daily, just getting rockets and just all kinds of shit at them. And they're just hunkered down holding this, manning this post. Right. And we get inside of that and, uh, My platoon chief's calling out what's going on.

Got Nick Chek up in my vehicle navigating us, you know, to get there with the, you know, the downed vehicle sort of hobbling, right? And we get in there. Everybody gets out. We get the guys laid out. I'm getting a medevac ready. It lands, gets those guys, and I'm looking. I see, you know, I can see Jason Lewis there, and I can see the dirt on the other side of his chest, right? Just this big hole.

Um... And I'm just trying my best to get a nine line going. Like, hey, we've got two that are done and one guy still alive, critical, right? So he's the priority. And the second bird gets the other two guys. Now, the incredible thing is we still got one guy fucked up with that thing lodged in his leg. And I'm like, we're so nervous. Like, if it moves... And he bleeds out of the artery, you know?
