Ironically he is saved by a group of local villagers who risk their lives to help him. The human spirit is one remarkable thing!
I am currently reading Marcus Luttrell's book Lone Survivor that the movies is based on a must read.
In Valor There Is Hope - (A poem by Chief Tecumseh)
“So live your life that the fear of death can
never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in
their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your
life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its
purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day
when you go over the great divide.
Always
give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a
stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to
none.
When you
arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you
see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one
and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its
vision.
When it
comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear
of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more
time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song
and die like a hero going home.”
