What exactly is the guy looking at about half way through the clip? Looked like some huge site or something, but that is just a guess.

He's looking through the CLU (Command Launch Unit) of a Javelin Missile System. It's a pretty good missile, is fire and forget, and works extremely well. I've seen them take out an armored vehicle, a guard shack, and even an Iraqi mortar position/crew.

And Blue2 there's nothing "so called" about these insurgents. I'm with john9001, apparently YOU still have a lot to learn from history.

Noun 1. insurgent - a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority (especially in the hope of improving conditions)
Synonyms: freedom fighter, insurrectionist, rebel
 
2. insurgent - a member of an irregular armed force that fights a stronger force by sabotage and harassment
Synonyms: guerilla, guerrilla, irregular


I realy didn't think you guys thought of them as freedom fighters.


What do you know about insurgency, have you fought one? Have you ever even left your computer room?

Gscholz,
Read your own definition #2 I can't explain it any better than that. What insurgency did you participate in? or were you answering yes that you have left your computer room?

Here are some more for you:

insurgent

noun

1 {C usually plural} FORMAL

someone who is fighting against the government in their own country:

- All approaches to the capital are now under the control of the insurgents.

  The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition.  2000.
 
insurgence
 
SYLLABICATION: in·sur·gence
PRONUNCIATION:   n-sūrjns
NOUN: The action or an instance of rebellion; an insurrection.  


As you can see, it doesn't mean only Freedom Fighter, even though a lot of the Iraqi insurgents may believe that they are fighting for freedom.

Heyas Joe!

I want you to stop pickin on the Gman....he would love nothing more than to see us fail in Iraq and you should just let him stand in hope of the same.

I believe he refers to leaving his puter room in reference to the brave battle hardened UN troops in Bosnia, of which he was a part. You know, the ones who gave up their safe zone which resulted in 6-8000 muslims being murdered?

You should probable ask him though...I might be mistaken.
