SF in Iraq? Vid link...

Gentlemen, I found this vid on Youtube.com. You gotta love the soundtrack!

Enjoy, and if it's a repost, I apoligize.

Most of the soldiers I saw in that video are members of the Iraqi National Guard. I didn't see any soldiers who appear to be SF. I'm very sure that individuals with more informed opinions will be along shortly. Still a very cool video, thanks for posting, I always love seeing videos showing the excellent job our soldiers and allies are doing in Iraq.

video

Pretty sure the video is from the guys training Iraq troops working for USIS. You can see the ones who were mentors mixed in with the Iraq troops. I wasn't in that Contract but a friend of mine said he was pretty sure it was them. They had two groups. One group just did the Instructing and the Mentor Group did a lot of planning and went in on the hits with them. Of course the Mentors were paid more for good reason. Don't know who has that contract now.

Nope, I actually know the team, and the Guy who made the vid. I am pretty sure that it is the team I am on right now as a matter of fact. LOL

Now that was a fun video to watch no matter who it was.
Thanks for posting it.

We were shown that video during a briefing around Jan 05' by a SOPC cadre member. He was on ODA 595 and told us his buddies sent the video to him.
