that was good looked authentic....but was really really boring...dno if tht was just the affect lol but seemed abit pointless to watch too me unless u like watchin guys walk thorugh some woods

[lizzzzardking]

Thanks for the feedback and I agree with you. Check out my other Vietnam video Rattlesnake Bumped, you may find that more interesting.

Might want to add at least one M-14 to your team aswell =)

Marines loved those thing's !

[lizzzzardking]

Thanks for the feedback, you can never have too much authenticity. We are aware of all the problems you kindly informed me of and we are recruiting for more members and shopping for new kit all the time. These 2 videos were test pieces for a much larger project this summer, so we didn't get the kit spot on. Thanks again for the feedback, it's always appreciated.

like I said, when you know what your talking about, reply, I'm still waiting for you to know what you are talking about, maybe get a girl friend, stop playing with yourself and grow up, prick!!!

[reconmart]

why bother making lame comments, when you know what your looking at, then re post comment, game player my ass.

Im sure you guys had a good time filming it. No things are not right. But listen to the comments of the guys that were really there. I was not. But was taught in my days in a Ranger unit by guys that were really there. Techniques are lost over the years. (Field craft) As for the larger guy. Don't take any offense. Some of these guys that comment negatively couldn't get there own but out of the house to do this filming. Just take the comments and improve on them.

@71jeepnut Thanks for the info. :)

Nice movie. "War is hell" has lost all meaning apparently.

[71jeepnut]

too much with the rough movement of the vegetation. Need to move slower and more fluid. Silhouetting is very bad too. Camo looks good. All in all pretty good. Spread too far apart(3-5) Turn your mic down. Sound travels along way. Parallel the trails dont move down them. Hope this is used as positive not Negative.

The first two guys are not patrolling their arcs, or covering their sectors correctly. The last guy, arse-end arnold or tail-end charlie is doing at least half a decent effort, but the other blokes are just looking strait ahead most of the time. Nice gear, though.

@reconmart How bout handing your rucksack to a comrade, and have 2 armed troops (with rpg's and suppression) behind you a fair distance to cover your back. And would it be a problem to switch off between soldiers doing this? Look at reports man. The enemy almost always dictated the time and place of ambush, not the other way around.  Try reading the John H. Poole series. Will change how you see the battlefield, and written by a very accomplished and modern source. Eastern ftw.

@scarecrow25 American Marine? You are clueless. All of us lost weight there. I went from 181 lbs when I landed to 132 when I left. Up to 130 degrees F and 90 percent humidity, and lousy C-rations and contaminated water. Everyone had dysentary and most caught malaria at some point. When I came home I looked like I got out of Auschwitz.

@gamtnrider  what not just a little bit, :(

[reconmart]

@CrushProject So are you saying a force recon point man should patrol on his hands and knees, with a 60-80 pound ruck on his back for five to six days with no weapon, what about 'contact front' or 'ambush' they patrolled like recon marines, and they were bloody good at it, read BRUCE NORTON's books, I may have only been a royal marine reservist, but even I know you dont run the bush without a weapon!!!
