what a waste of time , trying to watch, poor quality video, were is the return fire , is this a joke, lots of ammo wasted.
Anonymous: You must be kidding. What the hell do you expect in a war zone? What did you want an MGM production. The camerman is trying to save his own ass and apparently you couldn't see the muzzle flashes the distance. One thing is very obvious to me. You were NEVER in the military or you wouldn't have made such a stupid remark.
Go watch a Disney movie.

THAT anonymous wasn't me, Cork, as I would have prefixed my comment with "Cork,..", or put in "blah-blah,blah, Cork, blah, blah, blah". It may have been one of those gung-ho kids I previously mentioned looking for a "thrill" of seeing people killed. Now if ammo were the ONLY thing wasted....
Come to think of it, Cork, I wouldn't be surprised if the 1st commente(o)r was a chickenhawk. Two points I agree with, though, but for not the same reasons, are that these wars ARE a waste of time, ammo, AND LIVES MINDS AND BODIES all around the board. The only freedom being fought for is the FINANCIAL freedom of the MI(C)C.
Anonymous: Sorry for the confusion. Hopefully Preident Obama will refuse to listen to the military and do what he said he would do.
Cork.
Well, Cork, he IS the boss of all the services. He's higher than the General of the Army or the Fleet Admirals. But what bothers me is this--who is the President's boss?
Anonymous: In a "perfect" USA, the President would have to get authorization from Congress to start any wars, but we all know Bush and Cheney didn't care about Congress and did what they wanted to do. Or let's put it this way. Bush and Cheney LIED to Congress to make them think Hussein had WMDs, etc.

Sorry, but to say that was the "Best War Video Ever" is a VAST overstatement. It wasn't a firefight, it was a bunch of undisciplined soldiers wasting ammo and shooting without any PID. If I were their troop/company commander and saw that video, I'd fire their PL. It wasn't a firefight. There was no return fire. If they had been shot at before the camera started rolling, fine, but there wasn't any apparent return fire for the four minutes and change that it was rolling. They were shooting out of the doors like a bunch of cowboys, completely inaccurately due to poor body position. Finally, they lost all initiative in the battle. If they ever actually dismounted and moved through the engagement area to assess battle damage, they did it after the camera turned off, and during the last 30 seconds of the video, it certainly didn't seem like that's what they were about to do. Even if they wanted to assault through the engagement area to conduct sensitive site exploitation, they didn't even have the ammo anymore to let them do it. Completely unprofessional. Please don't promote this video as what right looks like or glorify it in any way. I say this as a leader who has redeployed from mosul within the past five months where I led a scout platoon for 15 straight months of combat. None of my soldiers would have ever been allowed to behave like this. Promoting this video makes everyone who did their job RIGHT and acted like a professional look like a bunch of undisciplined retards.
Conrad: Thanks for your comment and thanks for your service to our country. I appreciate your expert opinion on the video and in the future I will be careful not to use wording that mischaracterizes events on the ground. I really appreciate how you pointed this out to me.

The best video footage? really? I'd hate to see the lousy stuff
Those of you who didn't care for this video I would suggest you enlist and get your own asses over to Afghanistan and Iraq and see how you handle a firefight.
ok, anonmyous. i work with 19 deltas, and let me tell you. they are undisciplined fucks. they're full of themselves and they cant do anything to include wiping their own asses.now, what they're probably doing is laying down a base of suppressive fire for another team to use as cover to move on the objective. its a rather simple technique taught to all basic training recruits regardless of their chosen MOS. furthermore, when you get shot at, and you're kind of distracted by shooting back, you dont really thing of having a perfect body position or breathing tchniques or trigger squeeze. in other words, the fundamentals of shooting go right out the wndow. if ou had ever been shot at, you would understand. whereas you are probably some bitch ass POG, i need some ACOG batteries you stupid shit.befre you make any assumptions, i am an 11c and yes i do have my CIB. lets see you go through a day in Baquba. wont happen. you'll be huddled in the dark corner of my stryker crying and pissing all over you unused kit. pussy
Thanks for your comment and service to our country.
IM GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO DISCRIBE MY THOUGHTS, I AGREE WITH THE LAMENESS OF THE VIDEO..
(NO OFFENSE HONESTLY), I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE SCARED AND TO KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP YOU DO WHAT YA GOTTA DO. KID WHISTLING IN THE DARK OR MEN FIRING OFF AS MUCH AMO INTO THE SIDE OF BUILDINGS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. I'D RATHER SPEND THE AMO TOO
