Incompetent Light Infantry Foot-Sloggers Dancing in Open

Obviously, they don't think they are at war, even a sub-national conflict and are not taking the rebel enemy seriously by being so exposed in the open and co-locating themselves with containers of fuel, the populace and cars--all of which could and do shoot bullets and explode bombs into their exposed bodies.

I'm sure none of them has watched Ponticorvo's docudrama "The Battle of Algiers" to see how foot presence patrolling is an open invitation to rebels to kill you; of course not!

They are too busy in the modern gadgetized, technodance version of the failed pre-WW2 malaise "From Here to Eternity" decadent garrison lifestyle that all war requires is PT, marksmanship with hand weapons and dismounted battle drills Exum's book, "This Man's Army" ad nauseum.

This gives them maximum free time off-duty hours to get drunk and chase women. These are bad light infantry even from a foot-slogger perspective; poor camouflage, no dispersion, no armored vehicles shielding them from enemy line-of-sight; its common knowledge that garrison ruins Soldiers but PEACEKEEPING is even worse because it gives you this FALSE illusion that you are in nation-state war (NSW) "combat"--just ask any returning vet and he will tell you he is "Mr. Combat Expert"---when really we are goofing off in a quasi-peace situation and getting very sloppy. Even worse is when military bureaucracies conclude like Britain and France did in the 1920s/30s that chasing rebels made them ready for NSW war when the German mechanized, combined-arms Blitzkrieg exploded in their face in 1939 and showed them otherwise. Its the USMC "small wars" self-serving BS on a disastrous, national tragedy level:

Clearly, we are screwing up in Iraq/Afghanistan with the wrong type of immature, maximize violence-for-NSW troops and need a special corps of older, more mature and culturally aware troops in M113 Gavin up-armored tracks who SMOTHER violence with combat engineering separation walls and checkpoints to keep guns and HE bombs out--who have a LOW-KEY, NON-OBNOXIOUS presence--not gyrating their hips in a Moslem country. FYI, I don't buy into Islam at all--but I also don't think we should disrespect callously someone's religion and enraging them with avoidable in-your-face, decadent behavior when it is THEY who we are trying to help make their country safe by them living at peace.

They are in living hell and if they dont let loose one in awhile they are going to go home as fricken monsters like their political leaders. Also you can see that it is an Ice breaker between them and the civilians, they become more human to the locals. And as the video show its usually done with locals and children. If and Both Bush's and Cheney can start wars and enjoy life why cant the men fight those war have fun even if it is just dancing for a few seconds at a time?

Its tactically unsound. This is typical of the light infantry narcissist crap used to try to excuse away all kinds of inept practices. Why don't we walk around in clown suits and hand-out candy and really please the locals? Troops needing R&R need to be OUT OF IRAQ completely at a floating MOB or a cruise ship etc.

[johneackley]

they may be in quwait, and contrary to beliefs their are places where NOONE IS SHOOTING AT YOU, and it turns into a public relations thing

[nomorenarcissism]

No, its in Iraq where folks do shoot and blow us up.

[jadou88]

so funny hahhahahaha i like it alot i like seeing soldiers that like to have funn with the ppl it just makes you forget about the shity stuff in the world

[nomorenarcissism]

And playing in the street surrounded by snipers and gunmen will get you killed. The time to play is off-duty back at the FOB.

[tankgod12]

all work and no play makes for a dull, boring, and stressed soldier.

[bighairyfrog]

ok, they shouldn't be doing that in the open, but give them SOME time to fool around.....

[sbastard]

incompetent or mentally incapacitated... wateva everyone has to let loose sometimes

[dogburgers]

I was in ar-ramadi in 04-05. Iraq back then was not like it is now.

[kilos5]
