    What's your opinion cuezo? I think this soldier is a fucking idiot. Why the hell was he running around like that exposing himself to fire? The Taliban aren't very good marksmen, well the AK isn't all that accurate at that range anyway, but there's no way anyone's going to run down that open hill, with rounds coming down all around them, to help that dude. It was obvious he wasn't critically injured, he should have chilled the fuck out instead of crying for a medic. The medic might think it's serious and expose himself to injury or death just because this dude needs to apply a compress on his own wound.

    Exactly my thoughts.

    Very clean. I don't remember anything that clean. Don't know why he was yelling out like that. But then Vietnam is not the middle east, so it's not easy to say. Seems to me the guy was more interested in the video.

    Or being John Wayne.

    He seems to be firing at nothing in particular. No one seems to acknowledge him when he says he's going down. Some guys, rightly under cover, probably thought "what a douche". Where did he think he was going? Get your ass down, get behind cover, locate the threat, coordinate and take the fucker out.

    Do soldiers take something to make them more, how shall I say, courageous?

    Any truth to that or urban legend?

    hard to believe the vid is even real, imo. looks/feels like a training exercise for some noob who thinks hes good at video games.

    id be hard-pressed not to throw a friggin' grenade at his crying ass and take him out myself.

    You mean the meth in spam legend? Not sure. I never ate any. I did my best to hide. Our small group of merry Marines did a lot of hiding. It's scary out there.

    I spent some time in Rajastan in the desert near the Pakistani border.

    The heat was so bad that I could hardly think straight and I wondered to myself how the hell an American soldier could load himself down with gear and actually fight under the circumstances.

    I'm afraid that's the closest I ever got to this kind of combat......
