Yeah that bothers the heck out of me. And then you also have the 6 bad guys and complete darkness to deal with.

Maybe in the close quarters in pitch black he used the butt as a weapon and rendered it inoperable?

The French Foreign Legion are trained in the Sahara.
SAS are mainly trained in the mountains but do different class training all over the world in different environments.

15 of the 30 minutes spent lugging his giant brass balls in and out of that tiny tunnel.

Not surprising that haji hides in the mountains and tunnels of the Hindu Kush mountain range during the winter time.

I’m just glad we are hearing about something other than WW2.

This is nothing compared to the PTSD from a bad breakup.

As impressive as this is, I have to ask why it was necessary. With multiple afghan soldiers present, it seems like they could have just used some explosives to seal the tunnel or something like that.

It just seems to me if I'm the bad guy, I back up against a wall and shoot anything that moves in front of me......how difficult is that in reality?
