Afghanistan CQB video

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Interesting video of American and Afghan troops fighting room to room inside a mud brick house. Very intense.

That was insanely up close and personal wow. Don't see many of those videos on the net.

 

[KChen986]

Damn. So that's what that's like. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Madirishman]

Thanks for posting this. A unique insight into what we citizens rarely get to see.

that is intense. and scary. pause it at about 43 seconds, you can see the BG in the doorway, right before you see the muzzle blast. really intense.

 

[Norrick]

what was it that blew up in the first guys face?

edit: video description says his weapon was hit and threw sparks from BG shooting.

 

[JohnO]

Intense, for sure.

It saddens me that our troops' ROE do not permit them to put down each and every Taliban they find. The Taliban are illegal combatants and are entitled to none of the niceties accorded to POW's under the Geneva accords.

Very well done by the soldier in the video.

I will admit though that I probably wouldn't have had the nuts to rush forward like that.

I was wondering why didn't he throw a grenade but I guess he would have been vunerable while he prepped it.

He also may not have been able to see each of the ANA guys working with him (this is just speculation) he may have been worried about fragging them. His technique certainly ended up working though.
