Lone Survivor_ The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 ( PDFDrive )

As they approached me, I took out my last grenade and carefully pulled the
pin, which placed that little bastard right in firing mode. I held it in one hand,
clasped across my chest. The tribesmen did not seem to notice. All I knew was,
if they tried to execute me or tie me up or invite their murderous Taliban
colleagues in, I would drop that thing right on the floor and take the whole
fucking lot of them with me.
They lifted me up. And slowly we began to head down to the village. I did
not understand, not then, but this was the biggest break I’d had since the Battle
for Murphy’s Ridge first started. These friendly Pashtun tribesmen had decided
to grant me lokhay. They were committed to defend me against the Taliban until
there was no one left alive.
