Insurgent Stronghold destroyed in air and ground attack..very cool footage..

[Sunnybono999]

The birds...Probably won't fly here next winter

[ben10dinosaur]

this is one cool footage

[DragshoTzXD]

Kicking down doors, explosions, and jets...

[3rdID8487]

@DragshoTzXD That's just the way war is.

[CognitiveNetwork]

You should use silencers, your scaring the poor birds.

[Sickhumourfactory]

These poeple are the real fucking heroes!

[MrAppleseed88]

Fuck Battle LA was scarryier then that shit.

[Lokiwho]

This is interesting footage, no footage of war should be considered 'cool'. 

[3rdID8487]

@Lokiwho it is to those that have seen it live. Thats called a "psychological couping mechanism", but don't worry about the title. Same reason we tell very grim, gross jokes about dead people. It helps to deal with it.

[Lokiwho]

@3rdID8487 As if I haven't seen it live and still have the same opinion....

[CognitiveNetwork]

@Lokiwho Ok, it's not cool, but it's fucking awesome!

[CognitiveNetwork]

@Lokiwho Ok, it's not cool, but it's fucking awesome.

[jakey249]

@Lokiw but this footage is cool..



[xSniperStreakHDx]

@Lokiwho

[xSniperStreakHDx]

@Lokiwho THIS IS COOL UR JUST A PSSY

[rapfan050]

@xSniperStreakHDx i bet you couldnt kill someone youve never met and say it was cool afterwards. hes not a pussy, your just an ignorant bastard who acts tough on youtube to people youve never met.

[tioodz]

where are the insurgents?

[BobyChanMan]

@tioodz The insurgents are asking the same question from their trenches. All they hear is a 50 cal. and a jet plane or two.

[TheNova1960]

It's time to cut foreign aid, end the Feds, bring all of our troops home, defend our borders and not borders in the middle east, mind our own business, become friends with the world and not one tiny country, and protect our Constitution! Why should US soldiers die when there is NO Declaration of War...come home! Ron Paul will make it happen...

[stonepown]

@TheNova1960 i agree with everything u said except ron paul lmao

[TheNova1960]

@stonepown You are entitled to vote for any one of the AIPAC employees or Ron Paul! LOL

[halolover2dmax]

@TheNova1960 Ah there is the political motivation. Though I like the ideas on the constitution provided by Paul, I find his views on Israel a little unagreeable. But enough on politics. The Soldiers are the ones we should fight to protect our constitution for, they have been through hell, and the should come home to find an America ruled by the people, not the Tyrants....

[JustAnotherYtuber]

@TheNova1960

Who is that new Christian fundamentalist that everyone hates? (i'm not American, just asking).

[MrBullfrog9876]

Since 9-11 We invaded Afghanastan in order to allow the poppy fields to be replanted after the taliban had destroyed them, now they are a multibillion dollar buisness again for our CIA. We went into Iraq so that Halliburton could set up their headquarters over there. We are the new USSR trying to take over the world.

[evenhead1]

@MrBullfrog9876 wow you are an idiot aren't you? either that or just paranoid. truthfully we just want to get out of there as fast as we can, afghanistan has nothing of value to offer, all that poppy money is going to the warlords, Iran, and Pakistan. and we lost more money in Iraq than we'll ever be able to make up in oil.

[78peterlein]

a talib hit my right ear!!

[blauwen]

estimated cost of afgan/iraq war today 1billion 227 million. Next time when you want to go to war, just give every living soul in that country a new boat or supercar and spare a few lives in the proces. Or just buy the country.

[OzZyMaDe]

@blauwen 1.25 BILLION is almost nothing compared to how much money has already been spent on US military.

For 1.5 billion you can buy 10 F-22 Raptors. The USAF has over 120 in service with the hope of buying up to 180+... And that's only type of aircraft.

[ashinms]

@OzZyMaDe Sarcasm noted. Point still eludes me....

[RussMaxable]

@blauwen It's way more then that, it Trillion's, that is why your country is broke.

[AvtomatPruneJuice]

@davedorger nah. The wars aim was to generate pain all over the planet.

after 9/11 the Us govt demanded the taliban govt of afghanistan hand over osama the taliban government refused to hand over bin laden without proof the President and Congrees authorized troops to be sent and war to be declared instead of giving proof shortly after the us invaded iraq to reclaim wmds that the us govt gave iraq to use on iran during the 80s. US forces many other nations into conflict&people die end of story.

[zombiehunter4life]

@AvtomatPruneJuice since binladin is dead is the war over?

[519MT519]

@zombiehunter4life It will never be over. altho it may slow down but the war will always go on.

[zombiehunter4life]

@519MT519 but why?

[519MT519]

@zombiehunter4life Well much like Davedorger said there are more terrorists leaders out there. for as long as there is... there will always be a war. an as long as others wish to make a name for themselfs theres one more war to last for years. its just a never ending thing.

its not like back in romen time or medieval time where you only able to attack factions close to you. with the firer power we have today you can attack anywhere. War will never end.

[zombiehunter4life]

@519MT519 jesus u talk like some wise man

[519MT519]

@zombiehunter4life lol yea just somthing that comes to me i guess :) . i'v had family in WW1/2 Canadian army an to this day i have some friends in the US and Canadian forces. they tell me hows things are realy going on down there.

[AvtomatPruneJuice]

@zombiehunter4life it was all a front to justify invasion of iraq and afghanistan quite obvious. Same with operation north woods an attack by the US govt on US civillians to justify an invasion of Cuba

[2121darkmagic]

@zombiehunter4life no its still going on, there have been rumors saying that there might be a new leader in Afghanistan

[mohammadshareefusa]

Strange land, strange invisible fighters, it is very brave to be there, and who those sacrifies their lives, they are not dead, they are living in our hearts. I support to bring back us troops . This is no gain war only sacrifies,bring back trop to home,

[bigpjjr]

wow my best freind is getting shiped off tonight to there

[arman1712]

ALL THIS IS LIKE BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 BUT SLOW PACED.. much respect to the soldiers in afghanistan.. i hope to join you soon this year or the next

[MudHut67]

@arman1712

[arman1712]

@MudHut67 shutup

[MudHut67]

@arman1712

nope

[razblack]

around 2:47 would NOT want to be that guy.. damn, takes some guts to do that.

[raultalbot7]

SWEEEET!

[TheDevenrocks]

Do you know what unit they are? I can see Airborne, guessing there infantry doing this stuff.

[Americanpatriot777]

@TheDevenrocks Yeah they are infantry...the "AA" patch is Air Assault not Airborne.

[Kinslerhomer]

@Americanpatriot777 The "AA" patch is the 82nd Airborne's. It stands for "All-American."

[Americanpatriot777]

@Kinslerhomer oh its still air assault though isnt it?

[3rdID8487]

@Americanpatriot777 They are AIRBORNE not Air Assualt. You would not want to tell one of them that. :)

Air Assualt is insertion by helecopter and the like, Airborne is the Paratrooper that jumps out of perfectly good airplanes. Rangers, some highly skilled and trained soldiers. They do conduct air assulat missions, but don't call them an air assualt unit, they would be highly offended. ;)

[Fuzionrider]

@Americanpatriot777 82nd Airborne, not air assault.

[Americanpatriot777]

@Fuzionrider I know its 82nd airborne but i thought everyone who goes through air assault school is put into the 82nd...

[boosted28]

@Americanpatriot777 na your' thinkin of 101st screamin eagles at FT. Cambell thats AA

[Fuzionrider]

@Americanpatriot777 No bud, the "AA" stands for the All American 82nd airborne. the 101st 'airborne' are the ones who are air assault since vietnam, 82nd is still airborne

[J03510]

would you call that .50 cal mounted on the Humvee a remote controlled machine gun or something like that?

[jrimme]

@J03510 We call it the CROWS. Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station.

[ironhorzmn]

@jrimme How do you reload that .50 under fire?



[3rdID8487]

@ironhorzmn very carefully, and QUICKLY! :-)

[ironhorzmn]

@3rdID8487 Well, no shit. =P

You're actually saying that even with that $50,000 remote control turret that someone still has to stick his freaking head and shoulders up there to change belts (and probably clear jams too)?
