What was said
"We bombed Pakistan. There's footage of this on YouTube. 3.5 hours. To the— we had to get birds coming to get us. So they flew some Blackhawks up and we get everyone. I'm the last guy on Dash 2 and I get inside and we're taking off."
O'Neill recounts a 2008 firefight on the Afghan-Pakistan border where he and a small SEAL team were pinned down for hours by what he believes were Pakistani military forces. After calling in continuous airstrikes on Pakistani territory for over three hours, he faced potential court-martial at Leavenworth but was instead awarded a Silver Star when drone footage vindicated his account.
