  • God, I love you men and women that serve our great country U.S.A.! Some people in America do not understand what great steps of DANGER you all face in training and in War! They do not realize the price that was paid for them to have these freedoms. I want to cry when I see these videos. I am a 39 year old man and it chokes me up when I see you doing such brave acts. You people are the best and I can not thank you enough. Thank you for my freedom!

  • I wouldnt jump those guys got balls if you ask me.. you would have to land for me to get out of the plane

  • I was a rigger, they could be jumping a chute i packed 20 years ago. Wish I was there

  • 3 more years.

  • @kellark12 airforce

  • Why do they use the old method of sky diving?

  • Nice video. Brings back lots of memories of when I served with the 82nd. And for those wanting to know where the weapons are, townclutz99 is right on the money. M1950 weapons cases on their left side. This is not a combat jump. If it were, it would have been conducted at night and a lower altitude...500'. And their rucks aren't all that big which tells me they aren't loaded down with extra ammo etc. If you don't jump....don't hate. And yes..pulling in "D" bags sucks..Been there done that!! :o)

  • what is the sector where they jumped? I pressume not hot area?

  • @MRALOHAGLOCK Their rifles are in a case strapped to their left side. Look closely you can see them. BTW the case is called an M1950 weapons case. Google it. This is 1st Brigade of the 82d Airbonre jumping IN Iraq. If you think it's somewhere here in the US then where do you THINK it is?

  • 00:50 the ONLY thing I hate about being a Jumpmaster. Pulling those deployment bags in SUCKS.

  • @chase1953 their rifles are packed in a bag. they don't jump with their rifles out.

  • where is there guns lol???!
