Former SEAL Shot After Saving Little Girl ─ FUNKER530 - Veteran Community & Combat Footage

Update from Funker: I have made the decision to re-activate this channel, despite the threats and risk of having YouTube shut us down completely. Major media platforms are have gone too far when it comes to censoring voices outside of the mainstream media, and I have decided to continue reporting on ongoing global events through this outlet.

If you would like to ask me any questions, or join our veteran community on Twitch, I stream live every mon/tue/wed/fri from 2-7EST at https://twitch.tv/FunkerGaming. You'll find that most people in chat are veterans, and it's a chill place to hang out for a few hours each day if you feel like connecting with other vets.

Description:

Funker530 received exclusive footage and narrative from former US Navy SEAL Ephraim Mattos documenting his intense involvement with the Free Burma Rangers as they worked fearlessly to rescue imperiled civilians trapped in the hellacious battle for Mosul.

On June 2, 2017, former US Navy SEAL Ephraim Mattos was shot in the calf by ISIS while volunteering as a civilian medic in the clearance of West Mosul alongside the Iraqi Army's 9th Armored Division.

He was wounded during a suicidal rescue mission into ISIS controlled territory where several Iraqi civilians were trapped in a pile of corpses who ISIS had massacred the day before.

The rescue of a little Iraqi girl and the moment Mattos was shot, was caught on camera. Until now, we've only had grainy snippets of this footage.

Mattos wrote a book about the experience alongside the #1 New York Times Best-Selling Co-Author of AMERICAN SNIPER, Scott McEwen.

Mattos and McEwen's book is called CITY OF DEATH: HUMANITARIAN WARRIORS IN THE BATTLE OF MOSUL. - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/tit...

In the early morning hours of June 2, 2017, Mattos was working alongside the aid group Free Burma Rangers — who have been descibed as "Doctors without borders, with machine guns" — when he and the rest of the team discovered the site of an ISIS massacre.

Besides the former US Navy SEAL sniper, the team of Free Burma Rangers also included former US Marine Sky Barkley, and was lead by former US Army Special Forces and Ranger David Eubank — the founder of the Free Burma Rangers.

The team of Free Burma Rangers conducted a reconnaissance of the ISIS massacre site and quickly discovered multiple Iraqi civilians still alive in the piles of scattered corpses. They counted two wounded men and four young children trapped and on the verge of death. Despite the deadly odds, the team decided they had no choice but to make a rescue attempt.
