  • na einzige deutsche hier

  • i live for the army... this man was a brave soldier who gave his life for others Semper Fi my friend Semper fi

  • Semper Fi...thats all I can say to this

  • ya it shows that soldiers are proud of what they are fighting for and they do things like this to show the people who say that they are baby killers and things like that to prove them wrong. soldiers are the bravest people alive. Im going to enter the us army and i will be proud to serve next to someone as brave as this man.

  • big up for your tribute. too may folk hate on the soldiers cos its a daft war but there just men doing a job.

  • @SupremeParkitects Thanks for that, I agree. I believe you can hate the war and not the soldier.

  • i can't watch this shit why did i get here.

  • this was so sad, now i understand why people are against war...

  • to all soldiers, go home... nobody wants you. the real terrorist are americam soldiers. the world is not yours. you bring only war everyware...

    corea, vietnam, irak, afganistan, libia and more... GO HOME or you die like this terrorist soldiers. you all are mercenaries, kill people from other countrys for money

  • @LAURKGB Many voted for Obama because he said he would end the wars, but only added another one. The people don't want war, it's the politicians. But I agree, the soldiers have to stop carrying it out for them.

  • @LAURKGB lrn2spell

  • @errOHneoS how many foreign languages you know? i'm sure that you think that the english is the only language in the world. :)

  • @LAURKGB lrn2troll

  • @errOHneoS auzi ma cocalar obosit mai dute-n pizda matii.

  • @LAURKGB So you do know how to troll =D Excellent.

    Is Romanian your native language or just something you've learned?

  • Sad to see this happen. But Luke shortii said from scary movie. " run bitch run". Rip

  • Best video on youtube (:

  • you just killed yourself dumbass

  • Congratulations, Taliban. You killed one man and scared the hell out of two others.

    All it cost you was more than we lost.

  • @MetalSights Ah, i don't think Taliban is in iraq, Al qaeda is.

  • fuck you talib cowards, learn to fight like men!

  • @see4el9 Sadly, I don't think it's cowardice that has resulted in these tactics - it's not having tanks, helicopters or fast jets as part of your armoury. They're using Sun Tzu's The Art Of War to deadly effect.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar Yeah good point there mate. Didnt think of that straight away. Sorry.

  • @see4el9 No apology needed.

  • @see4el9 Oh yeah... Fighting like men... Just like US marines killed Reuters journalists and iraqi civilians from an helicopter?

  • @Otowa56 *facepalm*

  • @see4el9 This is in Iraq you dumbass :) Taliban are in afghanistan

    Alot of opinion but no knowlege

  • That brought a tear to my eye

  • @Whitiec2 Mine too.

  • NO!! One survived he must die!!

  • the funny thing is some of the morons here think it's an American soldier

  • well done my brother rip...America and it's al-Qaeda CIA agents are gonna pay

  • @micheltariq I hope so

  • The reason he snaps to attention is because when your doing roadguard/ECP duty when you complete your inspection your supposed to snap to attention.

  • @mwyatt787 Thanks - you might be right. However, the soldier doesn't do the same for the previous two vehicles and the soldier in the next lane doesn't stand to attention either. It just seems to me that a conversation took place between the soldier and the driver in which it was made clear what was about to happen. In a way, I hope I'm right as I feel his snapping to attention showed a remarkable courage.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar he did snap for the previous two vehicles. There quick snaps, (white suv he steps back to the shadows edge 0:45). I don't think he knew. If he did I think he would've at least yelled "bomb" or something so everyone would at least have a split second to get down. He was working a dangerous checkpoint, he was already showing remarkable courage.

  • @Sahadi420 But it's not as pronounced as his final snap to attention, though. I don't think the checkpoint was his target as he attempts to pass through and is stopped by the soldier. A conversation obviously took place and from what I learnt in writing the poem, most suicide bombers get their intended victims' attention by shouting something, notably 'God is great!' As for courage, I agree, but he was ordered to man the checkpoint; the manner in which he faced his death was up to him.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar you might be right. It just doesn't seem that heroic to just stand there and take the blast. Especially when he knows there are others around him. If the guy thought there was a bomb and his life was goin to end soon, I think he would at least try to let everybody know so they could at least duck. That quarter second could save lives. It's like the equivalent of me jumping on a grenade thats throw in my hole vs. standing at attention next to it. I would bet he didn't know.

  • @Sahadi420 Right, I see where you're coming from - I like the hand grenade analogy. My feeling is that the bomber would have had his hand very near - if not on - the triggering device as he approached the checkpoint, in case he couldn't get through. I think it may have been this that he showed the soldier and I guess it's then up to the individual as to how they react. Unfortunately mate, we can't know for sure but I do appreciate the comment.

    How on earth can anyone do checkpoint duty?

  • 1 million iraqies death for what Oil! Sick Government

  • R.I.P. Boni.

  • This is why you should kill the terrorists.

    They will kill you and die trying because they have no regard for life.

  • @THATW3IRDKID Yes, but the real question is why are they trying to kill us?

  • @PoetryAgainstWar Because the middle east does not know about islamic attacks against us or around the world. They never heard of it nor will they believe it. Since they think they are right and how we are invading them, they view us as arrogant, hateful, and power hungry. (A ruthless and godless empire) Only 9 percent of them view the war as justified. Most of them have never experienced terror for themselves. This is why they hate us, terrorist groups use this as propaganda to fuel the hate.

  • @THATW3IRDKID I don't understand what you mean by the middle east not knowing about attacks such as 9/11 and the 7/7 bombings in London? Maybe a small suicide death cult within Islam see us as arrogant, hateful and power hungry. You and I might not be those things but I suspect our politicians are. The recent uprisings in middle eastern states show that a growing force within the Arab world think their politicians are just the same. And they're doing something about it.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar Our politicians are not ideal, but they are what we voted for and they do beat the other corrupt ones. The Arabs uprising against their governments isn't like our governments. Their governments doesn't give them Democracy and they are killing innocent people to stay in control. We have democracy.

    Now for spending and our president... The majority voted for him, so we have to deal with it until it's time to vote again. People HATED Bush, but he got elected for a 2nd term.

  • @THATW3IRDKID 'People HATED Bush, but he got elected for a 2nd term.' Is that democracy? In the true sense of the word? 51% of the population decide the fate of the other 49%. We're given the illusion of democracy but that's only because capitalism needs free speech and a sense of participation so we consume goods and services. 'Go out and shop' Bush told the US after the 9/11 attacks. I feel that if the Arab states finally achive democracy, they'll come up with a system that makes us envious.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar democracy is the best we got right now. majority rules because if it doesnt, what does? people hated bush because he was a scapegoat for everything shitty in the states, the same way people are starting to hate obama.

  • @matchesison It may be the best system we have right now, but couldn't it be better? I feel democracy is not just about the right to vote out people we hate every 4 or 5 years, or that we enjoy free speech (to a degree), it's about participation in the process - a government of the people, for the people, by the people. I think we've forgotten that in the UK and see our politicians as belonging to some sort of elite, separate from the people they govern. We've forgotten we ARE the government.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar well i cant argue with that. i agree that they think they are in ways, above us. they need a slap in the face is what they need

  • @matchesison Very well put. Thanks for commenting.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar no problem. if i was any good at poetry, id rhyme "slap in the face" with "politician".

  • @matchesison Leave it with me . . .

  • pig

  • This video has been edited. The soldier does not stand at attention, he actually turns and runs away from the vehicle. Gets about 15 feet away before the VBIED goes off. Who ever made this has it incorrect. The only reason to stand at attention at a checkpoint is to salute officers. You do not salute officers in a war zone being exposed.

  • @sfcornett I think you've misunderstood the poem - I believe the checkpoint soldier was told by the car bomber what was about to happen and, knowing running was futile, simply stood to attention as a true soldier. The footage came from a bona fide news website and hasn't been edited - perhaps you could tell me what leads you to believe that it has?

  • they were both lucky and stupid it could have been 10 times worse if he had blown it when all those other cars were there including the hummvee but stupid because you see him try to pass hes speeding at the very least what i would have done would be to have my barrel pointed at his fucking face if not shooting.

  • @MrJa1259 I don't think the bomber's target was the checkpoint - I think he was on his way to another target but detonated it there because the soldier had tumbled him.

  • I saw this video in a security class I had to take, minus the poetry of course. It doesn't say in the description but this check point was run by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).

  • Bomb was detonated from within the white vehicle.

    #educatedguess

  • that soldier fucking booked it at the bottom right how did he survive that ied

  • Agreed...this happened 1 day after i got into an arguement with a SGT in the checkpoint....i told his Iraqi police to keep a car back as i was pulling rear security (civilian cars have their own line and shouldnt be pulling through mine)..anyhow..i told them to keep this car back and this E-6 jumped my ass saying not to worry about it because i was coming into a secure area...i told him "with all due respect SGT you worry about your ass and i'll worry about mine" this happened next day

  • sweet. Wish we had those in the states.

  • Army Staff Sgt. Jerome Lemon

    Died October 27, 2004 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom

    42, of North Charleston, S.C.; assigned to the 1052nd Transportation Company, South Carolina Army National Guard, Kingstree, S.C.; killed Oct. 27 when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near his military vehicle in Balad, Iraq.

  • thats my neighbor.....no joke he showed me this video a long time ago... he tried to tell the person that they were making a car bomb he whole black trunck got blowned off.

  • the solider in the white car is my neighbor..... his whole back trunk blue off

  • CNN news 1 american soldier was wound in an IED attack in bagdad !!!! 

  • Very sad.

  • looks more like ur glorifying what the car bomber did

  • makes me sad to think what people have done to u or ur family for u to feel so hopeless u have to blow ur self up

  • good now get out of that country!! wait your dead for the banks sake!

  • KaBooM...That's the sweet sound of more Halliburton stock going through the roof! (along with fragments of Iraq and Soldier body parts of course) End-The-Occupation.

  • @mookixox If you're such a genius why didn't you invest in haliburton and get rich as fuck like these other guys.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Uhhhhhh because making money off of death and destruction of fellow human beings isn't my cup of tea?...so fuck off speed freak. I never said I was a genius asshole, but ppl like you make me look Issac fucking Newton, every time.

  • @mookixox lol self elitist declaring ones own view of ethics and morality the gold standard to hold across the entire world. it's easy to cast judgment from your ivory tower of self righteousness. war spurs profits. that's why it exists. if you had any sense of survival you'd understand that the best interests of a country is to put its own self interests first. read some books on the subject of kingdoms instead of watching conspiracy nut loose change videos.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Go read books so I can make a profit off of phantom WMD's, death and carnage of brown people? No thank you I'd like to keep my soul, if being informed makes me a 'self elitist' to the moron masses, so be it.

  • @mookixox

    informed of conspiracy propaganda? the shit you devour is no different then any lie the government puts out. these people don't give a shit about the masses, look at the profits they are making by making themselves self proclaimed dipshits, or champions. or are you too blinded by that layer of that conspiracy theory bullshit being jizzed all over your face to realize that people only do shit for their own self interest. take a look at your own life, and reflect what i've said.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Propaganda? So it's ppl like me who are stamping pyramids and eyeballs on movies, federal buildings, churches and oh yeah, u.s dollar bills? Fuck off you failure of life, if you want to shrug off the fact both Kerry and GWB are skull and bonesman that's your perrogative and swallow the Govt mayonaise like JFK and the 'magic bullet theory' then you're too stupid to live...makes ZERO difference to me, Go kick stones lil fella...

  • @mookixox you really gotta stop suckin alex jones' dick so hard you might actually rip it off. it's misinformation.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen The only persons sucking dick is ppl like you who are chugging Uncle Sams mayonaise by the gallon, now back to your sheep pen fucktard. Baaaaaa Baaaaaa

  • @mookixox when did i ever say i supported the government and its actions? you gotta stop assuming too much. i only mentioned that there's ways of understanding the actions of manipulation. also on the topic of iraq, you don't need to have wmd's to be a considerable threat. hussein was crippling his own country with harsh rule and genocidal tactics. he needed to be ousted. you know who else didn't have any weapons of mass destruction? hitler. and he was pretty bad and had to go for genocide

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Evertime I try to move on from mental midgets you say something even more vile then the last time. Listen FUCK HEAD I know damn well Hussein was a tyranical POS that had to go...Why don't you research how the American govt put him into power to begin with? That INCLUDES the sale and delivery of chemical weapons idiot...You're so fucking clueless you're too dumb to live. Ask questions and demand answers or shut your sheep hole.

  • @mookixox lol i'm a sheep. just a dumb tool. say the guy who spent the past 5 days arguing with someone who is really too baked to care what i'm typing into this box all i know is it's good at putting sand in your vagina.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Nah you're not baked, you're just outclassed but nice excuse for being raped for the past 5 days LOL...oh hand me a doobie bro, let's not worry about the elites! fag

  • @mookixox Outclassed? That's not what your mom said last night.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Mom jokes? And...I win lol, don't take it personally I love leaving these sparring sessions for others to see, makes ppl know they can aspire to more then smoking dope and swallowing pud in the govt sheep pens...

  • @mookixox If you're so high and mighty why don't you boast your achievements about dealing with this government so that I may learn from your experience and change my ways towards yours because obviously you have the one absolutely correct opinion.  What are you catholic? Also think about where you would be without your government.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen "If you're so high and mighty" You're the one smoking DOPE on your grannies sofa, you tell me...lol

  • @mookixox You're the own placing your own authority and viewpoints as dogma and that it should be followed as such. You're just as big as a "sheeple" as the people that buy into that government superpower crap. Also you're gonna shit bricks when the Annunaki come back and slap your pastey white ass up.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen I haven't told you fuck tards to do anything other then research and jump over the Govt sheep pen...What you do after pulling the bong out of your ass is your business.

  • @mookixox My favorite part about our flirtatious babble is that your dumb ass keeps responding to my comments regardless of how inane and puerile they've become as though you had an obligation to be correct. Long story short, you're a tool.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen My favourite part about schooling you effortlessly is the fact these messages will remain for every other sheep to take notice, and ask questions ;)...Long story short, thank you.

  • @mookixox Wow I bet you don't get laid much.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Your mom disagrees lol.

  • @mookixox Glad to see you've finally reached my level :D

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen As long as I'm the one who's visiting and not the permanent resident ;)

  • Id like to say great post mate, but that seems inappropriate. politicians who send people to a hell hole like this should be the ones manning these checkpoints!. These soldiers must know the definition of fear, every morning they wake up.

  • @rivercarper01 Brilliant! Tony Blair and George W. Bush greeting every car.

  • that was fucking insane

  • God Damn

  • It does seem to me the soldier stood to attention when he knew what was about to happen. I have to ask myself what I would've done had I been in that terrible situation.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar yep, thats sad.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar hit the deck!

  • go out of iraq you beaches men...

  • @riniki1 Millions of us in the UK couldn't stop our government from invading Iraq. Apparently, it's democracy. I regret a single life lost.

  • That happened on 2006, ECP 8, IZ, Baghdad

  • Many thanks for the information . . .

  • @PoetryAgainstWar This did not happen in 2006 nor at 8. It took place in the final months of 2005 and at 12. The soldier was a Sgt from the California National Guard. The bomber attempted to gain access into the IZ by entering the Military By-pass lane. When the soldier asked for his badge to use the by-pass lane, the bomber wasn't able to provide it, so the soldier told him to turn back and go through the normal lanes. The Bomber agreed to do that, but instead detonated the bomb.

  • @SilenttempestZX Absolutely correct. It was Oct 12th 2005. I was on the right side of the video, jus over the other side of the palace wall, thankfully. That was FOB Prosperity on the right. Skeerd the shit outta me, lmao. Always wondered who that Soldier was, and have always prayed for him and his family. I was with 3rd ID then. Wish I was still with them, my old Platoon, or at least my Battallion.

  • @PoetryAgainstWar The soldier stepped back to allow him to back-up, but the bomber detonated instead. The remains of the car blew forward into the by-pass lane.

  • Comment removed

  • @ika531 Agreed...this happened 1 day after i got into an arguement with a SGT in the checkpoint....i told his Iraqi police to keep a car back as i was pulling rear security (civilian cars have their own line and shouldnt be pulling through mine)..anyhow..i told them to keep this car back and this E-6 jumped my ass saying not to worry about it because i was coming into a secure area...i told him "with all due respect SGT you worry about your ass and i'll worry about mine" this happened next day
