Iraq video

I was bored and looking thru videos on live leak and came across one of our missions... All the good stuff has been edited but its got some good footage of a crazy night. Sorry if it was a repost, its a few years old

Fascinating! Thank you, Sir!

Do my ears deceive me, or is that a small caliber mini-gun I hear?

krod	07-13-2008 20:34

:D Good find,, It's one of the better vid clips showing NV-IR gear, in use.

:munchin I'll send the link to my non-mil types,, a little education on the technology edge we have..

:eek: Not sure about the spray-n-pray on egress,, a little over kill?? not good for winning harts-n-minds.

they lined up an ambush at the end there but the 130 opened up and the convoy followed their rounds... once the ISOF start its hard to stop them

Back during the Vietnam era, there was a saying. Something about grabbing sensitive parts and their hearts and minds would follow... :D

Remember it well,,,
Didn't it come from a leg 2nd Lt called Bill Calley,
Didn't do much for his career, if I remember correctly???

It was made famous by a plaque Chuck Colson had on his wall when he was council to Nixon in the WH. Which was a re-worked version of something LBJ said, and there are thoughts it thread back to Teddy Roosevelt & a young Lt. Douglas MacArthur, around 1906.

"If you have them by the balls, their harts & minds will follow"

Maybe things have changed,,
but I am not a fan of spray-n-pray,,
Wastes to much ammo,,
And creates to much paper work..
