That's not actually correct. They were surrounded and fought their way down a mountain. All members of the team were killed except Luttrell, who was given shelter by an Afghan village. Rescue team of seals that was sent in were also killed on the chopper by rpg fire. Largest loss of Seal operators in one day. Lt. Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during battle. This is probably one of the best books I have ever read.
