Oooops!
Great closeup color video
Maybe... but I'm thinking there was a 30 mm chain gun behind the camera, so they probably didn't walk far.
Bet he can’t do that again!!!
“Stupid is, as stupid does...”
My nephew is in the suck (Afganistan) right now...Sent this to him so he can get a good laugh...
He needs this...
What’s interesting is the activity in the region will now be on the increase because the “Opium (Poppy)” harvesting is pretty much wrapping up and the money those farmers get they use, or will be used to buy more “munitions” for their fight against us...
I don’t know what the President has been smoking, but this conflict is FARRRRR from over...
But hey, if the concensus is to cut-bait and let the others fish...Then lets do a mass exodus and let them kill each other...
I think a plan of containment, sanctions, of nothing in or out (to the best of our abilities and technologies) would be better...
When we’ve helped them to clean their own house up to a point, and the folks we are mingling with (their security and armed forces ) have infiltrators waiting for their chance to shoot our folks in the back...That tells me its over...We did what we could and they are not living up to the bargain...
Screw ‘em all...

Thanks for the analysis. It’s pretty clear he’s not carrying an IED—he just tripped over one of their own. If only more of them would do that for us...
No EOD school for them.
How about the photographer’s buddy launched a grenade and killed them?
Best line of the day!
Congrats
For later viewing
1) The explosion came from beneath him (under the ground).
2) It’s not a targeting camera, it’s just used for FOB security and outward surveillance. No weaponry attached.
bflr
Now that is funny
The places God puts them banana peels....
BTW...
Thanks, God.
They must have done something to displease Allah...?
Maybe it was a suicide training mission...
Those opium poppys and their farmers...We need to get in there with A-10s and/or B-1s...maybe bring some F-111’s out of mothballs and lay some napalm onto those crops! Screw those farmers. If we can go after moonshiners here in the states then why not burn those bastards out of business in the Middle East and Mexico?
Oh by golly by gosh yes!
Thanks for your excellent analysis, and for your service. May God bless and keep you and bring you home safe again.
‘Maybe it was a suicide training mission...’
Thank goodness I wasn’t drinking anything. My keyboard still works. ;)
