Failed big style, but the last survivor of the patrol was protected from the Taliban by Pashtun villagers. I did giggle when the bloke who took him in said "f@$k the Taliban",clearly the only words of English he knew.
Closing credits had pictures and a brief write up of the SEAL going back to thank the Afghan that saved him.

Good article. It'd be nice if the guy that saved him was granted asylum in the US after a deed like that.

It's a documentary, rather than a retelling, but it's very good (I think).
IMDb; "Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington's year dug in with the Second Platoon in one of Afghanistan's most strategically crucial valleys reveals extraordinary insight into the surreal combination of back breaking labor, deadly firefights, and camaraderie as the soldiers painfully push back the Taliban."

I watched Lucy, the new film with scarlett johanson and Im sure someone will correct my spelling. Quite a different film. Lots of CGI, shooting, blood. Quite a good film all in all.. 8/10.
