Sean Parnell, John R. Bruning

In 2006, Captain Sean Parnell and his 40-man Outlaw Platoon faced the most professional light infantry since WWII in Afghanistan's Hindu Kush. This is the raw, emotional account of their 16-month ordeal, where brotherhood was forged in blood and over 80% were wounded. Based on the book 'Outlaw Platoon: Heroes, Renegades, Infidels, and the Brotherhood of War in Afghanistan' by Sean Parnell and John R. Bruning, this video reveals the harsh reality of combat, the cost of underestimating the enemy, and the unbreakable bonds that kept them fighting.
