So the message I get from that is 'don't join the Iraqi army'. Holy loving poo poo. Talk about merciless, you may as well off yourself when they turn up at the gates cos they ain't stopping until you've been mag dumped.

Also another lesson is "don't drive a fancy western-imported car on the city streets you loving retard"

You don't even have to case anybody, just shoot up any BMW you see and chances are you'll nail a few ranking officers

I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face. We were doing overwatch on the village to recon and gather intel. I was point, heading down the face of the hill with the LT. when we got hit. The rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire. I didn’t start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety. A round struck the tube by my hand of the 203 grenade launcher which knocked it out of my hands. When I picked the rifle back up it was still functional, but the grenade launcher tube had a nice sized 7.62 cal bullet hole in it and was rendered useless.

He was a new gently caress that got pulled out of the TOC. Went on a patrol and got in contact. He ran down the face of the mountain ignoring his PSG's orders to take cover behind the rocks at the top of the mountain. He jeopardized his entire plt because they had to retrieve his pussy rear end after he threw his gun and gave up. He ended up getting shipped home with minor bullet fragmentation in his hands and rear end. When he got back he was sent to staff never to carry a gun again

This is why you don't give helmet cams to new guys. He was imagining the facebook responses to his awesome highlight reel video the entire time that firefight was going on. Whether or not he was hearing "let the bodies hit the floor" in his head while it was going on is still up for debate.

That's something else about that hajji video. I can't believe how much gear they've got, it's no rag-tag bunch of amateurs is it? Piles and piles of rifles, what seems like an unlimited supply of ammo and explosives, AA weapons, AT rockets, everything.

Also, I know we are only seeing one side of the story but the IA seem properly shite don't they? All that American gear (and training, I presume) and they wait for a pickup full of AQ to rock up at the front gates of their base and let them level it, invade and murder everyone. I don't see how they'd get within a mile of the place if they were alert? Maybe someone with some actual knowledge can explain.

The rumor was like at least 1/2 of the Iraqi army battalion we were training was Mahdi Militia. I took solace in the fact that they were absolute garbage at every aspect of soldiering.

We would respond to IA unit in contact calls and the IA would be on our flank one second and then you look over and all you see is the fat slow one's back as they run to the bongo truck.

Every joint operation we conducted with them was so hosed up we just ended up doing their part ourselves.

These dumb fucks would be at a road block overnight where an entire IA unit was killed nights before and literally every one of them would be asleep. When we would check on them the answer was "inshallah."

So yeah in summation the IA is garbage and I am not at all surprised that some halfway decently trained and supplied guys are rolling over them like its nothing.

Same thing with the stories I've heard from my friends who were in Afghanistan and worked with the ANA. The ANA would gently caress off at the slightest rumours of Taliban in the area. And they would sell the gasoline for their vehicles. So half the time they called them up to coordinate patrols, the ANAs would be out of gasoline and begging for more.
