If only it was always that pleasant.
and yes..upvote for videosift: fair and balanced.
Oh, and hand your rifle off to your buddy for a second, ok soldier?
You never, ever have your weapon outside of your immediate reach when in a combat zone.
Unrelated Sift Q: Is there any point to voting when a vid makes it to the main page?
Nevermind. Read the FAQ's like a good boy.
fake anyone?
No seriously though, that's the sorta footage we should see some of. I'm sure our policies over there suck, but the men and women are human, seemd like we can forget that sometimes with all the wargy images of explosions etc....
theo, I'm rather certain (hopeful?) that Wumpus was kidding.
i still think the soldier with the bottle of water wasn't the bad guy....you need to study the whole thing not just watch and react....
Maybe this is the kind of hardass mentality which lost you the war.
Not much combat going on there.
haha, sorry for ranting on Ivix... I'm sure he's a good kid (If you are a she sorry.. ivix sounds more "guy-ish")
Now for the comment on the actual movie... This is what I would be doing with my spare time in Iraq
It's nice to see a postive video coming out of Iraq for a change, although I'm not crazy about that rifle juggle.
No, that's the kind of mentality that will keep that soldier alive. At any moment in that video, that soldier could have come under fire. Had he left his rifle with his buddy, or in his vehicle, there would be several moments from when he comes under fire to when he retrieves his rifle that he is completely unarmed and defenseless. Those several moments could make all the difference between whether he, his fellow soldiers, and the children there, live or die.
It is for that reason, among others such as theft and safety, that the notion of your weapon never leaving your immediate reach is drilled into soldiers from the moment they first begin handling a weapon in basic training.
Just like accountants and calculators!
[couldn't resist]
LOL
Good times.
Now this is disciplinary action.
