Saw it yesterday.
All of his chanting Allah Akbar, and he still failed to accomplish his mission. Then he got caught.
Wonder if he reconsidered whether Allah really wanted him to kill that soldier or not?

Kudos to the kid for QUICKLY resuming an intimidating posture behind his weapon and not jumping around screaming like a little girl.
Good on him!

E Troop, 101st “Saber” Cavalry Division, attached to 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment Army Times writers :rolleyes:
E Troop, 101st Cavalry is a New York National Guard unit. Its origins are in the 10th Regiment (New York State Militia), formed in 1860 and mustered into Federal service in 1862 as the 177th New York Volunteer Infantry. It was sent to New Orleans for occupation duty and later operations in Louisiana. It was mustered out when its 1 year term expired in 1863.
3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment is a Louisiana National Guard unit. Its origins are in the 2nd and 3rd Louisiana Volunteer Infantry, mustered into Confederate service in 1861. It fought for the duration, surrendering at Appomattox in April 1865.
I wonder if anyone noticed the irony of assigning cav scouts from a unit that fought against Louisianans to a battalion from Louisiana?

What is the meaning of what the sniper was chanting?
How did the sniper get injured?
>> After tracking down the now-wounded sniper with a team from B Company, 4th Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade, Tschiderer secured the terrorist with a pair of handcuffs and gave medical aid to the terrorist who’d tried to kill him just minutes before.
Damn tough medic.

"God is Great"
The asshats always do it before they try to KIA somebody. I think it is actually a little prayer that they don't kill themselves as much as anything else.
FS,
I'll tell you what he was saying after the troop went down and got back up,"Oh SHIT, I just shot Robocop, we ARE SCREWED!"
LOL!
Hope they smoked that haji!

Apparently, they captured Mr. Hadji after he was WIA. Again, definitely not an 18D...

Take care.

Would he be a source of information? I know jacksquat about who would or would not be good for interrogation.

I don't know.I don't care... :D
I've been seeing alot more of these snipers videotaping their longer range shots. When I say longer range, it turns out they are engaging coalition forces from 150-200m. Not impressive, but it helps in the flash to bang recognition for us.
Islamists have the belief that Allah has all say in what happens due to it being his will. They pray to him to cleanse them of any sins and help them accomplish their martyrdom mission. In praying they ask for his protection and guidance on all matters. Not gonna knock it, but it seems to work for them.
Billy Waugh covers this mentality in his book and it makes sense from the perspective that most Arab countries lack an NCO corps. I'd pray too if all tactical decisions were left up to the corps commander.
I think NDD said it best though. :D
I don't care... :D
LOL. Now that I understand.

I'm sure that any good 18D would have a minor mishap in assesing the casualty and providing medical care. Hey everyone has bad days and could forget the appropriate medical course of action.
I'm no 18D but I'm sure he wouldn't have died of wounds, maybe of asphyxiation. :D

They are shooters first, medics secondary !!!
LOL. Now that I understand.Some expect me to get into this long-ass debate, with a discussion too boot.
If you shoot and miss, and "I" catch you? Better have the ACLU and "whateverthere."

Good find, NDD.
He said that it was a Dragunov with AP rounds which hit him at an angle.
I think he was pretty lucky. IMHO, that combo at short range and zero deflection and he would have been penetrated in or near the heart.
