What kind of tactics are those?

Attacking an entrenched enemy in a fortified position without armor support in broad daylight from an open field with no cover carrying heavy packs?

The Taliban must really suck to not have hit any of those poor guys.

Agreed, I did not hear even one round snapping overhead or nearby. I'm thinking this was a live fire training exercise. The guy with the metal detector was walking way to fast if real IED's were a possibility.

That Brit-Vid was little more than bait for that website...they are running a funding drive and needed some video to draw hits. Roggio/SWJ is OK....mostly seems to me to be a sobered up Debka File...I rarely pay much attention to SWJ.

That wasn’t an attack on a fortified position. That was a patrol to draw fire and fix enemy positions. They were using lead for cover. It was textbook!
