Overrun and outnumbered, special ops soldiers fought to the end in deadly Niger ambush
By: Tara Copp  
In a recreation released by the Pentagon, see the October 2017 ambush in Niger that left four Green Berets dead.
In the final moments of his life, Sgt. La David Johnson was alone, evading overwhelming militant fire in Niger last October, as he ran the length of five football fields to reach the only cover in the area: a single thorny tree.
The last two friendly forces with Johnson had been killed minutes before; two Nigerien soldiers who had stayed with Johnson as their eight-vehicle convoy was ambushed by scores of enemy fighters.
