iraqi powerslide

Sgt Hike [R.I.P. my brother](camera man), Specialist Field (gunner on top), and myself Specialist Ryan Shintaffer (Bradley Driver in front) showing some mad skills parking this 36,000 ton 1,000HP brand new rubber track padded piece of killing machine into its parking spot in the motor pool next to the other Bradley..... oh if you notice after i got it into the 180 degree power slide I'm already hanging outta my hatch just letting it freely slide backwards.... and to answer some common questions before you even think of posting your negative comments (knowing nothing about what is happening in this video) we don't want your opinion unless you know what your talking about, so here we go #1 we have performed this many times prior to having someone filmed it. #2 there is very little risk involved in what we did you have to remember this is tons of armor not like a car and its anything but top heavy it couldn't have flipped over if we hit a train sliding like that. #3 i don't think i understand why people say " that is my tax dollars at work." you people are acting like you actually lost money from this stunt?!?! your specific tax dollars in this are about 1/62of a cent that means for a whole penny you paid out of your tax's you have bought about 62 of these tanks for us now thats a penny well spent!!.... and ill stop this at #4 First i know this is a bit of a rant but im tierd of stupid feedback from un-patriotic idiots, our platoon was the ones doing the real combat missions over there, raiding houses kicking in doors, getting called to take on a whole city packed full of so many terrorists that there is more gun fire coming out of the city than we got going into it with about 10-12 Bradley Fighting Vehicle's (in video) and another 10-12 Abrams Main Battle Tanks that are putting the 25mm belt feed chain gun on targets while the air force is dropping 500 and 2,000 pound bombs almost every firepower resource available out of the Army, Navy, and Air Force supporting the mission, and not to mention a lot of us getting injured or killed by I.E.D.s, R.P.G.s, and gunfire I'd say we deserved the right to play around like this, again I'd like to give props to my crew and my brother hike R.I.P. you are missed, who ended up getting killed in a different combat tour serving us in the line of duty.

You boys DRIFT that baby!

[KingOni10]

so if he does that with a bradley, what does he do with the other vehicles in the motorpool O.O ; who needs to fight wars these days, i bet if you show boat your driving skills with any type of military vehicle (mainly the heavy ones) the other side would just surrender on the spot: "we give up, we cannot compete against his epic driving skills, take what you need from us"
