quilts. >> all right, buddy, you can take over. >> while jack, their only boy, helps his dad with the ice fishing shacks. the goulets brood make up about a third of the student body at the angle's tiny one-room school house. minnesota's last. >> wow, good. you're picking these up. >> linda has been teaching here for 30 years. even teaching her own children, whom she raised in the angle, too. >> to have a slumber party, my girls were so disappointed because their friends had to have a passport for a slumber party. it is different. but we've just gotten used to it and it just seems normal. >> there isn't room to house high school students here, though. for that, the older kids have to border hop. for some it starts long before dawn. they arrive by boat from some of the angle's islands, also part of the u.s. to catch a school bus.

join canada mainly as stunt to get publicity for the fisherman's cause. and it worked. the great walleye war it came to be door. the northwest angle became part of u.s. and walleyes nationality seemed to matter no more. things remain quiet and serene and remote. the northwest angle may be an orphan of the atlas, but that's just the way the folks at the top of the nation like it. ♪ >> pauley: still to come. singer marc anthony. but first -- >> how can evangelicals be pro life and pro gun. >> pauley: a minister chooses life. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

outpost in afghanistan which carrying to arm investigation had no tactical or strategic value. now seven years later he's written a book about it. a saga whose characters are less heroic than one might wish, exceptionally ordinary men who were put to extraordinary test. in a place called combat outpost keating. in romesha's words, the most remote, precarious and tactic tee screwed combat outpost in all of afghanistan. >> you never take the low ground. you always take the high ground. we're here doing this? this is in sane. >> this is what keating looked like to the taliban who were taking their own videos. when you went out on patrol to the high ground you saw what the taliban were seeing of keating. >> yes. >> what did it look like from the enemy's point of view? >> at times it looked like fish in a barrel. >> as an army sergeant the only

things romesha could control were the training of his men and their attitude distilled in the motto, it doesn't get better. >> that was the mentality. yeah, this sucks but we can't control it. we can't affect it. >> starting long before romesha's platoon arrived the taliban routinely fired down from keating. >> on average get hit three to four times a week. >> what was the purpose of those attacks? >> they were testing us to see what our battle plans were, how we would react, what our response times were. >> there were 52 american soldiers at the camp and six main fighting positions. the attack came at 5:59 in the morning of october 3rd, 009. >> it wasn't uncommon to get shot at at that time in the morning. it was kind of like a wake-up call most mornings. >> but this morning was different. it was all recorded by the taliban. the taliban had opened up on the

six main fighting positions, pinning them down so they could not return fire. keating sent out its first call for help three minutes after the attack began. fire coming from everywhere. we need something. soldiers not pinned down had to pull back from the perimeter to a cluster of buildings at the center of camp which they called the alamo position. >> the call came out that we were still going to what we called the alamo position. >> that doesn't sound good. >> no. >> what did you think when you got the order? >> i didn't like that idea. it felt like we were giving up, that we were kind of waving he white flag and admitting defeat in that moment in time. >> when you pulled back into the alamo position, you must have had to leave a bunch of guys out there. >> yep. >> all the guys on the perimeter. >> yeah, we knew we were leaving nine guys isolated on their own.

toward thing from gate where their ammo dump was located. >> how close is the enemy. >> closer than i ever thought. 10-15 feet away. >> the taliban were inside the camps perimeter. the command center sent out this chilling message. "enemy in the wire, enemy in the wire." one hour and eleven minutes into the attack, the first apache helicopter gun ships arrived overhead to find competing in flames. had they arrived five minutes later, romesha believes, keating would have been over run. >> i just watched these three guys just walk on in like the game was over, the fighting was already done. they just literally strolled on. they don't understand we're still here? we're still fighting? their mistake. you're not going to just stroll in here like you own the place. like you don't have a care in the world because we're about to make you care.

>> the apaches were followed by a b1 bomber which leveled a village where much of the taliban fire was coming from. how far was the village from where you were? >> it was just less than 200 meters their closest building to our perimeter. >> they were dropping what kind of weapons? >> 500 pounders to 2,000 pounders. >> awfully close. >> it was. danger close for 2,000 pounder is 1,000 meters. would would rather take our chances with our own bombs than be shot by the enemy. >> finally this message went out. "keating reports negative contact" with the enemy. but seven americans lay dead and one, stephan mac, the platoon cut up was gravely wounded. >> mace was bagged up and ready to be put on it still conscious. we all thought he was going to

make it. that was a -- that was such a high moment with everything that had happened. that mace was going to make it. >> that was like the end of the battle came down to saving private mace. >> it's what we were all hoping for. >> what happened? >> they attempted to do surgery on him but it was just too late. i think those medics did a whole lot for mace but i think the was mac that's correct held on to life for as long as he did until he left. once he left his brothers, he knew he could go home. >> that was in 2009, right?

>> yes. seven years. >> oh, yeah. >> it's still with you. >> i hope it never leaves. >> three years after the battle romesha was awarded the medal of honor, which struck him as both inappropriate and wrong. >> it boils down to, why me? i didn't do anything special. just did a job like 52 other guys that were doing that day. and eight that did way more than i ever was asked of. i mean, why me? >> because you were the one that lead the counterattack. >> i think you could have replaced with any other red-blooded american soldier. it would have been another one that would have stepped up and done the same thing. >> after the bheellheereedng th. aivatheraily.nexteekeyg." ofm. n
