Intense Video: USMC Counter Ambush Operation In Iraq

k1ng_g30rg3 · 11-19-2006, 01:57 AM

this video is slightly graphic so if your squeamish or whatever you may want to skip this one.

basically this video is of us marines conducting a counter ambush operation in iraq.

how it goes down is the marines in the humvee in the video are sent out to areas in iraq where other us troops have been notoriously ambushed before.

their job is to identify any insurgent amushers and their location and hopefully neutralize them before they can bring any further harm to other us troops.

what happens next is chaos...

Man, that is intense. Those guys were following that car blindly. That could've easily turned into a counter counter ambush!

"Counter Ambush Operation" sounds like the absolute most dangerous assignment you could possibly have over there. Go out and pick a fight with guys armed and waiting to pick a fight with you. Unreal.

Wow, that was intense!

nice video, God bless em...

some of the comments, I just don't get it... why are they even watching this video, if there so "against it".

**Sir_Brass** · 11-22-2006, 01:13 AM

I can't see what all the comments those soldiers making are aimed towards. I just see the cam on the humvee showing the vehicle driving and seeming to follow......nothing. What am I missing in this video?

The car on the other side of the plume of dust! They're following a car the whole time.

Those aren't marines. Marines wouldn't act so... unprofessional.

Agreed; I mean, they got themselves lost. They charged off without a decent SITREP to anyone. There was no attempt at containment.

Did anyone notice that? Sure it was a tense bit of action, but I would have expected to see greater discipline and focus - especially if they were actually seeking out an engagement.

And the second video - taunting kids?

No?

Why wouldn't they use a Stryker vehicle for that job?
