    KEEE-RYST! I don’t even SEE dead people …

    “There’s nothing left …”

    That’s some bad pink-mist.

    has anyone told those boys/our good guys/that it is better to leave those things alone or to put a charge on top and erase.

    Well now I guess they can’t take it home and put it on their mantelpiece. :roll:

    Or whatever they thought they were going to do with it. I’m at a loss to explain why the “detonate in place” option wasn’t exercised.

    I know they were friendlies and all, but I’m reminded of something Moshe Dayan said, “If you have to go to war, it helps to fight Arabs.”

    LOL, that is golden. I remember that guy. Yul Brynner type with an eye patch. Badass motherfucker, if I remember correctly.

    :beer: :gun:

    Wooooooow! :shock:

    I was watching that thinking, “Those guys have no fear of that shell!” and the damn thing went off! Good lord, evidently common sense is not common in Iraq.

  8. Marc Stockwell-Moniz

    Wow! WTF. What were these guys not thinking?
    Let’s get these guys into Common Sense 101, please. :oops: :cry: :sad:

    I suspect this will be part of any new training films on IED disposal.

    The sad thing is, I have relatives who’d do the exact same thing. Well, after a six-pack. What’s these guys’ excuse?

  10. TBinSTL

    It’s the in-shallah way….
    Damn that sucks I hate to see good guys go down, even if they are just good-ish guys. I’ll remember them. I hope that guy that was stomping around all pissed off puts the new found knowledge to good use.

  11. Jimmyb

    I’ve seen this before, I don’t really feel like watching it again, I hate watching the dude at the end freak out, now that he is breathing in his friends…… wow, just wow

    ” and this class, concludes our lesson on how NOT to do the EOD thing…..”

  12. Egfrow

    I saw them doing that and I new this was going to go way wrong. If I was there I would have gotten far away. I used to be a explosives tech. They were doing everything wrong!

    Holy Shit. This is scary. I’m glad none of our guys were there with them.

    When I was in Saudi, I noticed most of the Saudis cut out the seat belts from their cars as soon as they bought them. It is the will of Allah. If Allah wants you to die, you can have seat belts and air bags…it won’t help. If Allah does not want you to die, you can plow your car into a tree at 120mph and you will live. This is Muslim fatalism.

    Call them the bravest people in the world or the most absolutely stupid. But they have no responsibility for their actions. It’s all Allah’s will.

    Anyone ever heard the story of the “Stupid Samaritan”?

    Why the hell didn’t they just blow up that munition? I don’t get it at all.
