this is what my taxes pay for

@jacoblary Good training is exactly what your taxes pay for. Thanks!

[StreetArtillery]

Good to see how taxpayers money is being used. That device is not cheap and not free. I would like to see these soldier´s retarded faces when some ranking officer jokingly tells them that that claymore mine was coming off their next paychecks.

@StreetArtillery Claymores aren't very expensive and this was a training range. Our group was given X amount of claymores and we went over employing and detonating them. The claymore could have been pointed at nothing or we could have had a bit more fun with it and we blew something up that was on the range. We were exactly within the limits of our instructions and there was both a senior NCO and a higher ranking officer at the range with us.

Nice try though.

[StreetArtillery]

@odiedog52 Really? Tell us then, How much exactly does a claymore cost? If that was within the limits of your instructions and there was a senior NCO, you wouldn´t mind giving us your name and your NCO´s name so that I send that information along with this video to the Secretary of Defense of The United States of America. You wouldn´t mind that, would you?

[odiedog52]

@StreetArtillery Really. A claymore costs around $250. Compared to all the other equipment and weapons we have and use, that is very cheap. As said, we were at a range where we were practicing the fundamentals of employing and detonating claymores, which we did and we had a good time doing it. It's no different than if we were at an AT-4 range or a Javelin range which cost $1480 and $165,000 respectively, shooting at debris like old wash machines or tanks. The training was effective.

[odiedog52]

@StreetArtillery but no, I will not give you the name of anyone on that range with me or anyone who served with me for matters of PERSEC and the fact that you do not need to know. Even if you did have the names, SECDEF wouldn't care nor would it be a blip on his (or anyone's) radar. We had good, effective training in the employment and detonation of M18A1 Claymore Anti-Personnel Mines.

Quit bitching at the soldiers. If you want it done differently get your ass over there and show them.

observing cause and effect: PRICE = Priceless

Now these soldier could asume that this m18a1 could only be used for anti personel reasons but like all good americans they learned that it can be used for so many more things. They in one second seperated all the components for recycling. They learned that if they don't have C4 blocks they have a gauge of what a claymore can destroy. TM and FM are not LAW they are guides, fm 7-8 is not law just a starting point to develop yourself and your team

Street Artillery Are you jealous or something. DAMN man go join the army and get the fuck off youtube Mr. Know It ALL O_o

[jacoblary]

@odiedog52 true

[dbzrox120]

@StreetArtillery man ur stupid

[907mountainman]

@StreetArtillery your a douch bag. BIG TIME

[jkurse555]

@StreetArtillery I'm sorry you're so stupid and have no understanding of how training works. Maybe you have a better idea? Like using pretend explosives where instead of a real boom, a flag pops out that says "boom" accompanied by maybe a loud snap of some kind? Besides, who do you think manufactures most of this shit? American factories. So this money goes back into the economy. And quit trying to be the hall monitor with that "who's your NCO?" What the fuck do you think you're gonna do?
