Evening Edition: 'Extortion 17' and the Human Cost of America's Deadliest Day in Afghanistan
Description
On August 6, 2011, the U.S. military suffered its deadliest single-day loss in the Afghanistan war when Extortion 17 was shot down, taking the lives of 30 American service members.
Marking the 15th anniversary of the tragedy, retired Navy SEAL and former Recon Marine Mike Sarraille joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to reflect on the brothers-in-arms he served alongside and explain why he has made it his life’s mission to tell their stories.
He discusses his new FOX Nation documentary, Final Flight: The Men of Extortion 17, which highlights how these heroes lived rather than just how they died. Sarraille also examines the vital lessons military leadership must keep in mind to protect future generations.
