U.S Army ambushed by Insurgents in Iraq
3 out of every five Insurgents are foreign fighters. Young men from Syria, Iran, Palestine, and Chechnya go to Iraq because of Jihad. For most of them it is the most exciting thing it ever happened to them.

By jackie boy 1143427734 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou see why are they dying?
Undertrained... kids....
They should be firing to a know area or target, not exposed to incoming fire... What a joke!
so there's a load of american soldiers firing their guns, presumably at opposing forces.... fair enough... but why is it on metacafe? its a dull dull video.

By Montaya 1157769691 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removepointless video, not fun or scary or interesting
but the title of this clip sucked me into thinking I was going to see something interesting. It was not. It was boring and pointless.
By dragons79 1142080558 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe machine gunner is firing while moving the machine gun left and right which means that at the distance he is firing at the bullets land far from each other.
the rifle man is firing while he is not even looking down the sight, he is just firing from the shoulder, plus he isn't taking any cover.... strange behavior under fire.
after one of the soldiers shouts "we got him!" the machine gunner keeps on firing.
at the end of the video you can see the rifle man shooting also while moving he's rifle left and right, which means he isn't shooting at anything specific and it's not effective as suppresive fire at that range.
not once can you see or hear fire coming from the direction they are shooting at.
the shouts coming from the soldiers show that they arn't scared the least but rather having fun.
now either they arn't shooting at anything or they are not very well trained.
(sorry for any spelling mistakes, english is not my native language).

By woodhorse 1146532089 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeif by "PEOPLE LIKE YOU" you were answering my question then your an idiot.
i'm not an arab and not even a muslim, i'm israeli and a former IDF soldier and an active reservist.
my comment was about the level of the soldiers training and not a political one. (although i think invading iraq was a mistake and a fight you cant win).
Been watching but i still don't see what is so exciting about it...
By Bcnbartender 1142058108 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI am not an Iraqi, but I know that if a foreign nation ever sent her army to my nation, whatever that is, because my nation is rich in natural resources, I would give everything to throw the intruding army out. I am sure, if I were in america, and had my nation attacked by Iraqi army (say), I would have been an american insurgent. Would I agree then to being called a terrorist? So why should it be any different for an Iraqi?
Excitement is not what this is about. That clip showed something very natural...people fighting for justice.
It's amazing how many people don't know why the US is in Iraq!
The US has been at war with Iraq since 1991 when they invaded an ally of the US....Kuwait, to expand Iraq. The US came to Kuwait's defense and chased the Republican Guard back into southern Iraq when Saddam "surrendered" by signing a resolution agreeing to certain terms.....such as letting UN inspecters search for weapons. After giving Saddam over 20 opportunities to uphold his side of the agreement, the US gave him one last deadline in 2003 to cooperate with the UN and Saddam pretty much said he will never comply with the resolution he signed. Additionally, during the 10-yr cease-fire, Iraqi forces fired on US planes hundreds of times. The problem is that the US/UN should have went back into Iraq after the 1st time Saddam didn't comply with his surrender agreement....but Clinton had other things to worry about....like Hilliary!!
if you think kuwait is an ally of america then you are an idiot. the ONLY reason we went to war then was to keep the oil from falling into the hands of an unfriendly government. not because we love the kuwait people. and the only reason were in this illeagal and immoral war now is for oil. it has nothing to do with terrorism. bush is creating terrorists by being in the middle east and continuing support of Isreal.
By RICKWAGNER 1145206481 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe other reason we went to war with iraq. all those weapons of mass destruction that were going to cause mushroom clouds over our country. HAHAHHAA . i am ashamed of my government.

By RICKWAGNER 1182900628 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou all are ignorent if you think it was for oil. Maybe indirectly, but if it was for oil we would of kept kuwait to ourselves and thier oil! Last time I checked thier still a kuwait flag flying above, and the oil still belongs to the kuwait govt. In fact if it is oil we want we would take over the entire F**king middle east, why stop thier!!! You all are a bunch of middle east wanna bees.....
By woodhorse 1146507644 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNo weapons of mass destruction.
You have hanged the leader of the country, whom you gave many years of support to.
You have stolden gold , cash and other valluables.
You have legslated and contracted to steel the oil of another country.
You have killed and displaced its citizens.
You have distroyed its infrastructor.
Yet you still wonder why the people fight back, Aparrently ?.

It`s an easy thing to type craps like this, but i hate every day when i hear on news that someone got killed in Irak (US or any other civilian even terorists) We all have families maybe u don`t but u`ll get to understand one day smart ass.
By M59 1170355864 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei am anti war, but no matter what sadam did it was never gonna be good enough for the war-mongers who had their eyes on the prize of iraqs oil. no weapons of mass destruction where ever found and if they had been there i'm sure that the mad bastard sadam would have used them to inflict huge losses against the alied forces. the sad thing is now the US has its eyes on irans oil ... when will we ever learn fighting for peace is like f**king for virginity.

By joe grenade 1144709555 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveJoe, you said it right on. But hey, the rest of the world wants diplomacy and sweet talk when these islamic radical F**ks want to saw off infidels heads and blow themselves to S**t in crowded markets. You don't have to be Iraqi to do that people!!! Only idiots who believe in Jihad for 72 virgins. Just glad that somebody else knows the difference between who we are actually fighting over there.
By Br1emt 1177872186 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSome of your statments are crap. The insurgents are just a few thousand disgruntled Suni Muslims upset that they are no longer in power. Not fighting for the love of their Country but to regain the previlage and wealth they had before. The rest are non-Iraqi terrorists. Killing the majority Shite Muslims in hopes of throwing Iraq into a civil war. If we invaded to get at the only Iraq resource that matters (Oil) then were the hell is it? Because I would just love to have my own gas station set up behind my house supplied by good old stolen Iraqi crude.
By ronbad 1143460019 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveGood Job! You nailed it right there. Couldn't agree more. Let's hope the rest of these Anti-American F**ks take that into consideration. Oh wait, if they did.......then it would make it harder for them to hate us. Good job.
By Br1emt 1177872586 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe problem however with what you say is that most if not all of these "insurgents" are NOT iraqi
By JROC 1142454447 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei though they are americans shooting, not iraquians (or however you write it in english) so more pointless then
I agree with you but i still don't see the point of this vid here, i mean: It just shows people shooting, there is no message, no moral behind, when i see it i don't feel anything (fear, excitement, happiness, sadness) i just think there are better ways to express what you said. I think this video is not interesting at all. Just my opinion anyway
By Bcnbartender 1142187297 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei though they are americans shooting and not iraquians so even more pointless in my opinion
So what was the point of that!
Can anyone see what they were shooting at?
this is the armed forces' therapy for dendrophobic troops...

By slyder 1142046868 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou can hear the incomming rounds pass the camera when the V gunner stops shooting
By slyder 1142046912 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou generally know where the enemy is. You fire in their general direction (these projectiles can travel several football field lengths). The purpose of this is to keep the enemy's heads down lond enough for support to move in

By Truth be told 1145472078 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI can NOT see what they doing there?
Probably just an exercise for the camera.
its not Bush's fault that the video's too low quality to see what they're doing
hehe
Presuming no contacts were seen (which they may well have been), Firing in the general direction is "firing for effect"- to lead the enemy to believe A-you have control of the fight, and B- you know where they are. Combine this with speed and you have reasonable security from escaping an ambush.
By dasistgutja 1142068687 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removein my oppinion (not knowing the circumstances), i thought they should not have stopped, but like i said, you cant make any comment unless you were there on the ground.

By McKenzie 1142049035 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAll those american shootin vids i dont even see enemy's :S . Is that because they dont want us to now there shootin at children/ womans/and other allied forces :S
By jobhopper 1157527802 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHey F**k you. You have most likely never seen combat and definitely have never been to Iraq. Take a good look around you stupid F**k You rarely see the enemy. It's not the F**king Napoleanic Wars anymore where they stand face to face. As far as "shootin at children/ womans/and other allied forces ," take that into consideration when the next suicide bomber or IED blows up in a crowded Iraqi market to get the maximum number of deaths without regard to all the innocent women and children in them. You don't know S**t about what goes on over there. Keep it that way.....you couldn't handle it anyway you stupid Anti-American F**k Go to hell.
By Br1emt 1177872873 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhere is it ?? Did you mods delete it??? Tell me why :P Because it was an opinion and not ass offending as my first message:P
By jobhopper 1178387962 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm guessing the people who run the site deleted them.....because I had some really good straight forward facts for you. Oh well, maybe next time.
By Br1emt 1178644770 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYOU WILL NOT SEE ME HERE AGAIN!!
I HAD A NORMAL REPLY WITH SOME GOOD POINTS AND YOU MORRONS DELETED IT!!!
You should try to not have an opinion gays...
on an African safari. Stay in the vehicles. Unload tones of ammo. Hope you hit something. Won't actually go hunting. Recon by fire is there motto. Staying alive is their game.
Terrorist is an overused word. Every person who picks up a gun and fires on our interests is not a terrorist. They are not a terrorist when they fire on armed soldiers. They are a terrorist when they target civilian lives. So, arguably the whole bloody world was a big terrorist organization in the time of WW2. (Massive city bombing campaigns on both sides, plus other atrocities.) But back then it was just war. Now we got to piss our pants and hold a press conference every time someone uses an AK. At least do them the honor of recognizing them as warriors. Then you can honorably kill them one warrior against another. Or in our case, about 2 warriors hidden among 20 complacent civilians to our 10 warriors.
As for the oil... What the hell happened to conquest. When did it become wrong to go to war for national interests. Why do we have to pretend we were attacked to secure valued natural resources. Just say it: "We want your oil. Would you rather be alive or dead when we take it... and would you rather receive a check or a TOW missile in payment?"
Can we just have a war without all the bullshit.
The other day I was laughing at an officer that works with WMD asking "it" when we were gona find WMDs. "It" got real serious and said 'we have.' Still thinking "it" was joking I asked "so when's the press release due out?" Then the conversation got all weird because I could sense I was heading into classified ground. This person who may have first or second hand info thinks we found some but we can't talk about it. Which means to me either "it" has bought into the lie "it" has been fed - or there is another reason the government doesn’t want us to know it found some. The only reasons I could think that is they are saving that 'discovery' until closer to the elections. Which would be hela-bad PR technique, so is implausible. Or, they found weapons and then they found empty crates that had weapons in them but may have been shipped possibly to the US or Isrial......
Naw that's just stupid.
That S**t was crazy!!!
hell, i might even sign up for that S**t .
I need some trigger time
Like the american response of wasting ammo on a target you can't see...can anyone say Full Metal Jacket?
WHAT THE F**k DO YOU KNOW...
By RAREARTH 1141953812 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebut its always good to spray the countryside with bullets!
By JonnyBoy 1141503316 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePrior to Vietnam, the American military's practice was to only shoot at what you can see and likely hit, generally.
However, that got a lot of people killed because people we were fighting use cover and distance effectively. So we wouldn't shoot, but they would.
So now we have a support element who shoots at the enemy location, knowing they will probably not hit them. Their purpose it to prevent them from shooting back or from moving. They have to keep their heads down and stay behind cover to survive.
Seeing that through a camera and seeing it in real life are two very different things, believe me. Those gunners could see their targets around well past 500 yards in that kind of terrain. A hand-held camera isn't goign to pick that up with it's limited focusing abilities.
doesn't that potentialy dramatically increase the risk of colateral damage?
By KX36 1142124485 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt would if there was something collateral to damage :).
That tactic is only for non-urban, un- or lightly populated areas like in the clip. You definitely don't use that in an urban environment. That's what our special forces are for. More precise, more surgical.
Hooah.
