I always imagine that King Leonidis thought the same thing!

I found it funny that they kept yelling at Abu! What a shitbag that Abu must have been! Doesn't even know which rockets are for anti-personnel or anti-vehicle! Couldn't find his magazine! Seemed to be like the new shitbird private that just got assigned and didnt know which end the bullets come out of.

Very disorganized. When they were finally stopped, which seemed inevitable, they had no plan or battle drill to break contact (besides the "roll from contact drill") I imagine that they didn't make it much further than the video and that the Pesh finished them off from a distance and walked up and took the video. No support from other vehicles, no indirect support for the attack, no SBF...inevitable.
