U.S. Soldier Risks His Life in Firefight With Taliban [VIDEO]


A U.S. soldier in Kunar Province, Afghanistan returned home with no permanent injuries after being shot by a Taliban fighter during a firefight.

According to YouTube channel Funker530 -- which has captured footage from tours in Afghanistan for an upcoming documentary -- the soldier was hit four times. One of the shots hit the side of his helmet and the camera was shot off of his face.

"When we got hit, the rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire," the soldier and cameraman says in the video description. "I didn't start the video until a few minutes into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety."
