U.S Soldier Survives Taliban Gun Fire

Today on CNN they showed a video of a U.S Soldier surviving Taliban gun fire during a firefight. The footage is unbelievable. I have never seen such footage like this from Afghanistan. It was a really intense the whole time, a soldier who is by himself on a rocky slope battling for his survival. Below is the description of the video which quotes the soldier in combat. "I got hit a total of 4 times," he said, but they never mention what the soldiers name was. It was crazy to see bullets just miss the soldier through out the whole clip while he was in combat. It was so real to see a soldier in the midst of gun fire. The way he was heavily breathing, talking to himself loud, and you can hear the panic in his stride across the rocky mountain. It really hit me hard watching this man fight for our country, it shows what courage and strength are army has. When he gets shot I suddenly really felt for this man. The way he was calling for help that last minute of the movie because he got hit was emotional. It was hard to see that no one came to save him.
