The attached footage was sent to us by the cameraman and is more of a side story during a battle in which a Silver Star was earned by an Army captain. However, this video shows two best buds taking cover behind a boulder and shooting-the-shit as helicopter gunships wreak havoc on Taliban positions.

Here's what "Suplex88" had to say abut his video: "Whats up Funker530, I've been holding on to this for about 11 years now, this was a mission we went on called Operation Thunderdome, it took place in the Qowl-e Her Valley northwest of JCOP Redhill in Parwan province. I'm the young jackass filming, and the other guy was my best friend Ricky. He passed away a few years ago so this footage is pretty special to me. He left 2 young boys behind so maybe when they get older they will find this on the internet and it will give them a smile."
