US Soldiers at their best??

This is a video I found at Ebaumsworld, classified under the "funny video's".

I myself fail to see the humor in it.

The commentary on it seems to be from a docu on the ongoing problems in Iraq.

Watch the video and see if you agree the soldiers were a lil out of line, for A: firing their guns like that and B: for doing the other thing they did ....

EDIT: Here is the correct and non leeching link from ebaums. www.ebaumsworld.com...

I first posted the direct link to the video, but since I find ebaums to have some pritty nice video's I didn't want to hotlink the file. Let them get some hits on their advertisers so they can stay alive

I think you forgot something..

Top Secret Link?

Is there a link? Or is it not showing up for me?

nope the link aint there

Someone wake me up when he realizes that there is no link have a nice day later
Or someone can send him a private message to put a link on there just an idea

Linky, where are you???

Maybe he went back to find it and will updatre the topic.

I dont know what video your yalking about but I take a guess its the tank crushing the iraqs car


video

The guy was looting he had stuff strapped to the roof of his car. Crime dont pay

The most powerful advanced army in the world lol (We are F**kEd)

Did they stop the video, hold a trial and then crush the car.

Stolen goods on top of the car thats a hard one wonder if he was stealing. Come on troops are not out there to give people tickets and tell them to appear at court they were ordered to stop looting and thats what they were doing.

Nah, they just crushed the car because "these iraqi's don't understand what we're saying, so we'll just show them what'll we mean"

How does crushing a car say "don't loot".

Only thing it shows imho is that the "big bad US army" invading these peoples country's just seems to crush this guys car for fun, since like the soldiers said himself, the person didn't understand him and didn't know what he had done wrong, only thing the person saw was those guys blast away on his car for no implied reason and then wrecking it with a tank for even less reason.

Since when can soldiers use firearms and tanks against unarmed people?

America can do anything! did you not know this?

Maybe if these guys were stealing wood from this building the soldiers could have had the foresight to return the wood to the building instead of just crushing it along with the car. Or was it the fact that the wood was so worhtless that it didn't really matter.

What's next? "We said you only get one free refill at the Burger King", order an airstrike on his house. "Don't take an extra refill!!!"

So true you have got to love the US military's I found the video funny I mean you have got to draw the line somewhere this is war you have to improvise when the locals don't understand you also calling in the air strike on the house also very funny
"we tried to stop them from looting they don't understand so well take their car and well crush it...united states army tankers rule" I love that quote.
"thats what you get when you loot"
