Stryker Patrol Leads to Firefight

[wb678]

Iraqi resistance videos seem to be more exciting.

And plus the actually show the combatants unlike in US videos which leads me to believe that this video was of US troops firing at nothing.

[Lorilei5956]

God bless our soldiers , they fight & die for OUR freedom . Islamic terrorists give 2 choices , be of Islam or die !

[ogwen040]

If I think someones politics are evil I'll tell them. No reason to be any different bout their religion.

[JimmyPageisGOD]

Anyone who uses religion as a reason to use violence is going to rot in hell and get pineapples shoved up their asses.

[aznxwarlock]

lol southpark

[pencil25]

Mohammed was a merchant. I am not muslim, but I do not like people insulting others religions. You need to respect other religions. The only Muslims that called us crap are dead, shot, or are going to die soon.

[mrfunnymonkeyman]

all of u shut the fuck up i am an american too but i dont criticize other peoples religion.Shut up with all of ur conspiracy theories too... just SHUT THE FUCK UP u guys r annoying and stop being white trash hicks that say hoorah! kill those bastards! we capped those mother fuckers! Fuck u and get a life grow some balls and respect others lives.

[dbmers]

Screw allah

[rnepinak]

shut up you muslim pig and your made up religion. mohammed was a street bum and a thief.

[lumpy420]

amen

[cassiusclaynyc]

2 i.d. squared away troops!

[tenretni5317]

That's my brigade, since that month 43 soldiers have not returned to service including myself. All you judgemental jodi be lucky there are men who allow you to stay up late pulling it without worry

[MNFIRAQ]

tenretni5317: By "have not returned to service," do you mean you deserted?

[tenretni5317]

Neg. at Walter reed lost leg

[MNFIRAQ]

Oh. OK. You used some really unfortunate terminology there. (I'm speaking from experience here. Usually when people say "have not returned" instead of "unable to return" it suggests they did it by choice.)

Get better and get out of there ASAP. You've got our best wishes. Stay strong.

[tenretni5317]

Dilantin. Thanks I'm headed home for the weekend for the 4th. yeah.

[mattoc83]

good job boys keep up the good work!!!!

[jodase01]

This is staged, filmed in california to atract more naive idiots.

[rfb580]

You're a naive idiot.

[shaaauuu]

Im sure you left this comment just to stir things up, but if you werent there when this was filmed, dont say anything. Down the road from where this was filmed, one of our platoons strykers got hit by a deep buried IED and one of my buddies was killed and the rest of the squad was injured. Last time I checked, California's houses didnt look like that and, a little food for thought, this was filmed in a little place called the Diyala Province. Ever been there?

[shooter1411]

you know whats the fucked part about this war its that any moment when your patrolling an arab can come and blow your ass apart so why cant they allow whoever is in a car to get blown the fuck up why thats whats gettting out guys killed down there.

[gerri1956]

tizzy: education by youtube, just not for idiots anymore.

[UPJOHN4MG]

Once again it shows the army looking lazy as shit send in the marines they would have settled Baghdad real quick and with less dumbass vehicles

[11bravo83]

Hey UPJOHN4MG, I know plenty of fat marines. The marines ARE in baghdad and it is still a shit hole. So shut your cock holster.

[strongman17]

what the hell is your problem? go sip some tea or something you douchebag

[funkstar74]

you are murderers who need to be locked up

you are creating MORE terrorists you idiots

thanks for making America LESS SAFE

you suck

[onasafnhoj]

the army isn't murdering anyone they are following orders because they love america

[lleuwelynn]

onasafnhoj: and because they follow orders they murder people and blame it on their commanders. LOL. How hypocrite.

[cwbean2]

It's G8 (global-8)If I remember in the new testament 7 head's will controll the word in peace for 10 yrs.

[Ryz05]

most Iraqis are not insurgents right?

[jodase01]

11 of 10 Iraqis are insurgents. moron!

[husse99]

Yeah!!

Thank You Americans!! Could You please attack to Sweden next?? I`m from Finland and I hate Swedens. You know, They eat their children and There are alot of homosexual people. I would be so happy if could see clips of Amerian soldiers shooting everywhere in Stockholm.

[calitojr2001]

Hooah. GODSPEED.

[Earthlinked]

The words of others mean nothing when compared to your deeds!! You make a difference - they do not. THANK YOU for this life in this great country! God speed and come home safe!!

[YallMeanMVP]

it sucks to live on the street.

whew, i am glad i am not an iraqi!

[weezula]

You are a true patriot if you can answer these questions?

What's the price of a gallon of gas?

Who the Vice President of the U.S.?

What's the NWO?

Who's the Iraqi president?

What significance does Ted Patrick have here?

[srhanna]

Stupid and sad. Anyone who sees anything good here is delusional and no better than a terrorist.

[nandoletz]

I d like to hear soldiers talking about what they think about the war in iraq. do you see a sense? what do you think about your governement? about the world? how does the world have to look like in your eyes? dont you think the people who call you heroes just see their own profit? i would like to hear your voices as you are the same human beeings as mr.Bush. You are in! Whats your opinion?

[filthyslope]

You wanna hear an opinion from a soldier who has been to Iraq? The way I see the world, so much more going on in the world, so much to worry about in the past, present, and future, that Iraq should be the least of peoples worries. There is genocide in darfur, a country that wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth is coming very close to building a weapon that may accomplish just that, and there are people, who think US bashing is more important than any of the above issues.

[Ditts12345]

unfortunatly those are on the bottom of "the" agenda

[buckhunter713]

oh you finnish

[FutureWarrior2006]

Amen to that. I seek to become a soldier as well and I salute you for your noble service.

[dave1819]

UK and USA all the way. We will fight, and WE will win! even if it is in Iran, Afganistan or Iraq or all at the same time, UK and USA against the whole middle east. Hoorah!

[joel2540]

dont forget israel!

[aliwilliam7]

kick those Insurgants arse!!!!Thank god for the Coalition Troops and the USA Troops

Alistair from New Zealand

[elteeto]

its the strykers. they help a lot...rather have that than a bradley. the legs get messed up the most...and if an ied does go off-that cant be helped, but the war lock has been doing a good job.

[anth1966]

i bet u we fighting in iran next

[32574]

operation lights out.you turn the lihghts out on the city. fly the airplanes very low at full power keep this fuckers up all night long,fly a few drawns shoot anythin' suspicius.if that doesn't work drop a few "nukes" here an there.problem solved.

[mercenary900]

To tell you the truth, US soldiers tend to have a very high kill to death ratio nowadays, but they lose mainly because the enemy has a lot of people to spare and can afford to keep throwing them at us until we leave. It works, because the Union used that against the Confederates in the US civil war.

[hseth]

lol? you are very mistaken..

[southcop]

YOU BET I SECOND THAT!!!!!!!!!

[echo2098]

its true the american military hasnt been beaten much on the battlefield, military didnt lose, failed gov. policies in korea and vietnam led to long unwinnable wars. same thing happening in iraq. military wins all the battles. president has them fighting in unwinnable war.

[Gruppob]

100% true

[nickylarson84]

pro americain de merde vous faite pitier essailler donc de capter ce ke je vien de vous ecrire bande de suseur de neu

[Greis90]

and why do they hide behind armor? cause the fuckin iraqui fanatics hide behind women and children and cant be shoot at without killing the civilians. in an open fight between us and iraqui troops the iraquis would be carved to fuck within 10 seconds. just look at the kia reports. what do yout think how many americans were killed during the first few days of the war, when it was an open fight between two armies? right, almost NONE, and how many iraquis? several thousands

[nilesrock024]

And how does that make them pussies? These arent hardened veterans- they are fucking kids for the most part. In a war of weapons that can reach out and kill someone from half a mile, what the fuck can you do besides hide? Please, lets hear it phadil? Id like to see your pussy ass in combat- youd prolly be huddled by a wall pissing yourself. When you're getting shot at, you get to cover- thats the reality of combat. This isnt a fucking movie- you get hit, you die.

[mhesi]

These guys all looked like they were in their late 20's, I wouldn't exactly call them kids.

[albanishkoder]

I was there.We just obey the orders.4 this we are in army.Lord protect the soldiers in iraq.From an Albanian.

[BlackHawk31]

HOOAH kick some ass. undefeated in the battlefield and the only way for the iraqi pussies to win is by hiding and using cheap bitch ass tactics i laugh at the retardation of these religious fanatic assholes

[phadil]

yeah Blackhawk. the only way for the american pussies to win is by hiding behind armor and stay up where nobody can reach them. Americans won't even there to go out on the street without armor support.

[fryods]

Ok, so in battle you're supposed to run out in the open to fight... I see...

[wilagins]

Yeah, so let someone shoot at you and see if you head for cover, it's called survival. Armor is a good idea, that's why it's been used for hundreds of years. The point of combat is after all to kill the other guy.

[rangerinline]

Yes, and also not die.

[MosinDisciple]

Considering the odds, we did pretty well in Somalia with nothing but infantry.

[mhesi]

Pretty well? 18 men ded (more than half of these in a helicopter crash) vs 1000+ of the enemy. Considering this was a group of 99 fighting 10,000 in a damn city. That's better than pretty well.

[security6991]

yeah well 90% percent of what the americans do the rest of the world copy because IT WORKS, plus they trained half the PEOPLE thier fighting

[enriquejeanclaude]

If we have armor support, who wouldn't we use it? Same thing with the BlackHawks, can't let all the pilots and 19Ks get fat sitting around.

[mhesi]

We wouldn't have much of an army if we used mujahadeen tactics...A little C-4 and Allah Hu Ahkbar tends not to work for us. We prefer the other prick die for his country/God.

[jameswerty143]

i agree

[donadilini]

undefeated? didnt you guys turn tail and run in korea, vietnam, beirut, iran, fruittypants? and by the way, those "cheap ass tactics" are called war, what the fuck do you expect a royal rumble at the metrodome? those people are fighting for their freedom from us degenerate influence by whatever means necessary. if you dont like it go out to the ball game and root root root for the home team

[enriquejeanclaude]

I thought in Korea we fell back because of intervention from China in order to avoid a larger conflict with China and Russia as well. I'm pretty sure we stomped North Korea all the way to the Chinese Border.

[mhesi]

Iran and Beirut? Beirut was a low intensity operation, and we never invaded Iran, nor have we conducted operations there since Eagle Claw.

[rangerinline]

Techinically, the general Iraqi population is on our side. Donadilini and Blackhawk. The Iraqis are working with us. They are trying to get rid their country of people who see this as nothing more than an opportunity to get at us. The Iraqis are fighting with us to free themselves from foreign insurgents.

[mitchell0073]

Um... Its cuz they arent human kthanks

[wardog99s]

deetoe can seperate real life and movies

[matthewhepple1]

The Americans are the best! They are our allies fighting against terroists and some real nasty dictators army who need removing. There is no conspiracy and all that rubbish. We've beaten back the hardline Iraq's now bring on the rest of the them.

[patriotmyass]

Every family the American pigs murder = 200 freedom fighters.. americans call ordinary Iraqis "insurgents" to make their victims seem less human... Iraqis will fight the US illiterate brainwashed crack addicts until the US Nazi slave society decays and drops into the sewer, so the Iraqis can tell their grandchildren how they bravely stood up to the invaders.

[douglasboxerjones]

you're fucking brainwashed man. and into extravagant hyperboles.

[iantony]

Those young American soldiers are putting their lives on the line. They're human beings too and you have no right to refer to them as pigs and dehumanise them (that makes YOU no better than Nazis in my opinion). I accept that you may want to disagree with American policy, and that is fine. I am no supporter of the Iraq war, but you really need to improve your language.

[WIpboy]

if it wasn't us, it would someone else kicking your ass, you have oil, people want it. It's human greed.

[topjimmy41]

your name says it all

[Jusden112]

even with the help of "allah" your still pritty much fucked.

[AngreyMonkey]

lol deetoe, what the hell are you talkin about. The video is real. You dont see insurgents firing because the cameraman is behind cover, which is the smart thing to do. You dont see dead bodies because the Iraqi's, much like the Japanese on Iwo Jima in WW2, go out at night and pick up the dead insurgents to prevent a proper count of enemies killed. It also effects troop morale because it makes it seem like you never hit anything.

[BPittman2]

God Bless MNF troops and free Iraqis - send MORE troops, money, equipment, whatever so we WIN . . . this is a long term war - and not just about Iraq

[profanum88]

Is this an exercise or is this suposed to be fully trained soldiers?

[deetoe]

trigger kids. when you come back home.. it has been shown that the Brass and the pencil pushers will forget you. all of your beliefs about God and country will not feed you when your old and grey. recognize. a pawns pride is his folly. an emporer hides behind wrapped in a flag... naked underneath. DUped kids. Reid speaks the truth. if these videos were real.. you would see dead people and guts not explosions from a distance..

[wardog99s]

are you a redard first of all we do take care of them when they come home. they do get money to feed themselfs when there gray and old, we wont forget them or the price they had to pay to proserve our freedoms. the thing is its not like in the movie where you throw a nade and theres a huge explosion nades are kind of boreing. reid is a retard.

[shortdude42004]

And you know this... How?

[donadilini]

pending approval? youtube is engaging in censorship? fuck you-tube!!

[lionsfan741]

Dude, you don't see dead bodies and guts because it is not only distasteful to exploit video with the dead, but also against the policy of the DoD. This video is just as real as the snipers bullet that just missed my shoulder, the house that that was rigged to blow, and the RPG round that flew 10 feet over my head the day I shot this footage. Yes I'm the Combat Cameraman that shot this footage and trust me when I say this I will never forget these men and Woman (my Photo Partner)!!!!!

[NoReligeon]

Its difficult to be unbias when we got Al Jazeera and Fox news lying all the time wake up dont be a Media Sheep

[fuckmyblastpussy]

Bless all the MNF and their hard work.

[Matchload]

I am a Beirut vet and all I can say is that I knew the country would be a religious war after we rolled through. Same crap as Beirut.

[scat47]

are these the ones that were whining about their 4 month extension?

the all volunterr military is not working.

[scat47]

just hope we never have to fight North Korea or China.

our military is out of money and thought the casualties are not a bad as previous wars they are taking a toll. why are so many young troops married...but they are older than in prvious wars..it is an all volunteer military...we are becomming the french.

[Karpindur]

Know what the war constitutes of the DOD budget? 20%..Thats TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT. Know what else? Every branch met or exceeded its enlistment goals in 2006. All this while the Nation is not even on a war footing. The Chinese and N.Koreans and Iran better not get too feisty, because we are nowhere near stretched to the point where we cannot take them out.

[utjt55]

I hope your right!

[blradcl]

what a fing redneck

[LSBU4EVER]

Foolish.

[phillipkp]

Got all that gear must get very hot in the summer. 132 degrees.

[AdrianaStuijt]

WE civilians in the West need to see much more of this so that we can be better informed than we the propaganda-pap we are now being fed by CNN every day.

[amp32ak]

[moonchild24]

all war is dirty

[genghs]

i was not there. But i was i HAITI man... it suck's. I still have 3 months of duty. then i'm out of this shit. Hey kids want an adivise, stay away from the army, in fact, stay away from guns dude. Shit i hope i never have to shoot at someone again.

[megaseth999]

I am a vet and I completely agree with you. Whats more is I am really kinda shy on all this hero worship all these war supporters put out. But I guess that is the same fantasy that we fell for when we signed up...that and paying for college.

[amp32ak]

As long as there is still one asshole that wants to cut my Grandma's head off for religious reasons you'd better keep the fuck on blasting "genghs". I done my time (USMC) and cant get back into the big game or thats where I'd be. And for christ sake AIM when you shoot. Non-hacker Army bastard.

[xfalcon33]

Awesome kick some ass dudes

[Dengar12000]

I wish I was 1/10th the man these soldiers are. Keep up the good work!

[magira66]

Michael Niman, a local professor, writes a one page article in the freepress every two weeks. He says that research shows that the hippy spitting on GI thing never really happened. It sounds like an urban myth. It is in San Fran and people are greeting soldiers on the tarmack (not in the airport)? How did a hippy with a cardboard peace sign get on the tarmack? How could hippies hate GI's when the ranks of hippies are littered with GI's? Americans respect the bravery of the soldiers.

[mhesi]

My Uncle was personally spit on and called a baby killer after he got back from nam makira, so I am afraid it did happen.

[swiftarrow01]

Folks, lets remember that there are also Units in that Area from the UK and Australia, the US winning that war in a Team effort of Allies, and not US alone. All three nations have Fought many battles and them, together as a combined World spanning Force, they will win the iraq war together as allies.

[yesy1372]

what fuckin war

[PassiveAggressor]

Heroes..every one.

[tdc310]

Hello We pray every day for the return of our son. We pray for the safety of our troops. But the insurgent terrorist fanatical keep up comming and now they are using clorine gas and heavy weapons supply by other countries like Iran. This people are kamikases fanatical religious.
