I though it was a Dale Carnegie training video.

Well first look at the video made it bad but what you guys have said make sense, thanks for clearing that up.


On a side note, I think it's time people stop video taping themselves in war, just doesn't seem to help anyone what so ever.

That's what I say, Abu Gahrib would have NEVER happened had the soldiers not been allowed to have cameras.  ;)

Its like Redneck Rampage in Baghdad.


Really?  Let's see, the Beige Mercedes was trying to run a roadblock.  Hint: Cars that are speeding in Iraq (99% of the Iraqis don't pretend to qualify for the Indy 500 time trials, and trying to overtake) will be shot.

My buddy works in Iraq right now and is protecting the convoys.  He happens to be a Marine and from Kentucky / Alabama.   He often writes of the candy giving to kids over there, but some of the "parents" literally force them to wear explosives and are literally bait to kill Troops.   Sad thing is, the "parents" are using a Remote Detonating device.   The most recent loss was a SAW gunner that was killed by an RPG.  

Some of you guys are a piece of work, when you really don't know s*it.

So you fully support killing innocent drivers just because they're speeding? Killing 1% of all Iraqis (by your own words) is acceptable to you?

What do you expect them to write home about? Killing innocents for fun? Yeah, that'll go down easy with mom. :rofl

If you come up on an SUV that has Danger: Stay Back in english and in arabic, what the hell do you expect to happen?

Here's another fact that most of you are unaware of.  Women are being used as drivers (they don't drive in Iraq, the men do) with male passengers and trying to blow roadblocks.  

I COMPLETELY support the killing of hostile persons over in Iraq.  They KNOW what guidelines they have to follow and again 99% of them DO follow it.   The Mercedes in the video was CLEARLY trying to run a roadblock.   Notice the cars and trucks STOPPED at the roadblock.  

Harry, you come across as someone who wants to think he knows what he is talking about.   Please, stop posting, your ignorance is starting to surface.   My buddy doesn't brag about being over there and having to shoot people.   He's a Marine and was in Bosnia doing the same thing.

Well now that the film was put in the correct context it does look completely different. By placing happy music and misinformation with this film it easily looks like they're just shooting any passers by for fun.

Harry is a troll. I wonder what handle he posted under before being banned earlier.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Don't forget the terrorists use Italian agents and journalists as drivers too! :lol
