Why do you say that?

 

This is sad to watch. Poor guy. This makes me mad and want to just go blow the god dam terrorists up.

 

I'll except that answer...

More and more i see dill holes in the army... 90% of them were all talk and it showed at the first sign of trouble!

I respect that guy sooo much!

 

Intense!

I have no right to be stressed out at my job. That's for damn sure.

 

Tis' but a flesh wound.



Lay down the airstrike, problem solved.

 

damn!

 

That was fucking stressful!!

Seeing the bullets hitting around his feet as he's running for cover... Which there is none of.. Fuck!!

 

Theres alot of bloggers on various sites giving this guy shit for his actions.

 

This dude is advancing down the hill even though all these shots are landing inches from him. Then he gets hit 4 times, although I heard none penetrated his armor.
It would be nice to see other footage of other firefights.

We don't need these guys dying and getting shot up over there, its pointless.

 

I'm no GI Joe,

But first off when he started taking fire I think he should have taken some sort of cover ... Like over towards his fellow soldiers where you can see a couple times in the video..

Secondly running down hill with no cover anywhere in sight... Not zig zagging, just straight down, helping the "bad guys" line up the shot.

Lastly , when he did finally get to some sort of reasonable cover, he could have just put his head down behind the rock to give it as much protection as possible, but instead he keeps his head up, reaches for his rifle, and puts himself in a sitting duck type position.

But props to him and his squad mates for keeping him alive.

And if it was COD first thing I woulda done is pop a smoke. Just saying

 

Does that really surprise anyone? People in the country have no idea.

 

Why the hell didnt he open his fucking IFAK and start on himself?

 

Or use his 203. There's a million what if's. Just be glad the dude lived to tell the story.

 

If you read his comments...he says he took a bullet to his grenade launcher, knocking the rifle out of his hands. He picked up his rifle, but the GL had a hole clean through it. He walked down the hill on his own power.

 

The last time you were shot at did you do everything they told you to do in training

 

So many people posting their opinion's on how this brave man should of went about this... Lol, take A 7.62 round to the chest 4 times....

 

apparently nothing penetrated his IBA.

I don't wear a CIB so I have absolutely no ground to talk any shit about this guy

glad he's okay.

 

Nope! The best plan goes out the window as soon as the first shot's fired. Anyone in the military knows that

 

That dude is BOSS! Taking fire on himself so the rest of his guys could get out safely, I can't even imagine. My hats off to him and the rest of our military
