Strange enough the exact text was posted in Dutch today on a Dutch newsblog.Yeah I translated the text.
Seems whoever is spreading has a good marketing machine.
As for the soldier... he shoots in the air not actually aimin at anything, runs down a hill without cover.
There are other far more effective methods to draw enemy fire as emulating a first time player in COD.

Nice game, what's it called?
Yes, 20 seconds to reload. This guy wouldn't survive 20 seconds in a real war.Not just that... if he was up against someone with a single sniper rifle, the last picture of the camera would be a splatting brain....
Hurray for combat armor
Interesting how he survived 4 blasts from a MACHINE GUN.... Considering machine guns use a quite big caliber.Even more surprising they only hit his body armour plate.
Even more surprising they only hit his body armour plate.
Even more surprising they only hit his body armour plate.He should be the next G.I. Joe. :lol:
Even more surprising they only hit his body armour plate.Video descr. stated that he had something shot off his face
I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face

Not sure what a real war for you, but when there's two sides and their shooting at eachother for a period of almost a decade, that's a war for me.Yeah, well I'm under the impression that the video is a fake one. What kind of soldier would record himself being the most reckless son of a b***h ever?

Nope, f**king real, not really Reckless actually, he did manage to get out from the open into the cover behind the rock, surely it wasn't the best action, but if they did nothing they would just keep getting mowed from the fire, they we're in the open on a hard terrain to walk, it's a pretty hard situation to walk away from.Refer to this:
shooting blindly, no cover usage, just plain spraying&praying everywhere.
highly doubtable that his is real footage, if he was shot 4 times from a MG he would be in a black bag by now. :roll:
he was non-moving for QUITE some time while reloading,either those tali's are complete noobs w/ weapons, or they are just giving him a head start.... :conf:
Refer to this:Refer to this:
Now, the reason why body armor helped him survive is obvious, that was quite a big range for 7,62 cal to be effective so it isn't that surprising at all.

Kirgiz, Empty mags are reusableDUH, you always think about recycling when you are getting shot at -- having immediate danger for your life.
Ben Samiir would fire him instantly.
Ben Samiir would jump around the cliffs using combat shotgun to shoot 5 miles away. It's a fact.

Gandalf plays COD :wow:Yup, I did a 720 headshot on him with MSR Akimbo.
Ben Samiir would jump around the cliffs using combat shotgun to shoot 5 miles away. It's a fact.yeah sure.
Ben Samiir would fire him instantly. :cop:No Ben Samiir would just give the soldier a mod that allows him to walk through flying bullets.

he could munch you up before you say 'cookie' .

Mikal is right here.Finally! Someone who doesn't just go 'Oh hey a soldier, he's doing a great thing for his country and deserves to be called a hero' - Not all soldiers are great, theres been claims of US soldiers shooting random civilians dead, raping/attacking women, and this soldier was just being idiotic, thank you Crook.
America invests an immense amount of money in training of US Marines / army etc.
People calling this failure a hero are either too patriotic or blinded.
Not all soldiers are great, theres been claims of US soldiers shooting random civilians dead, raping/attacking womenYeah true.

^ Saving lifes by invading a country.Thats besides the point. Regardless of whether or not USA should be there (Which I'm sure you are an expert of knowledge in, or so you act like), he (himself) and his soldier mates (them) are saved or given an easier route of exit by causing a distraction. His method is not the best but in his situation it was enough to work (despite a few close calls, those of which he was sure he was risking the moment he signed up) and do as he planned, act as a distraction. So don't bring up the 'US Should not be there' bullshit because it is not a real argument in this situation.
Ok.
Yeah true.Few sad sacks of people, and thats not just by US, there are so many corrupt people who are misfit soldiers, to blame the US as a whole (or the whole Army) for a few sick incidents is silly.
Also soldiers throwing animals of cliffs and sick shit like that.
not a real argument in this situation.
his actions may have saved the live of others

What?
You really think he has done that?
Saved the lives of others, aka, his fellow squad members.
^ Saving lifes by invading a country.Yes, Al Qaeda is much weaker now, therefore, innocent lives are saved.
Ok.
You really think he has done that?Yes. IF not saved, then made easier or safer. He was obviously in a group with others and he risked himself, sending himself out there to distract the gun fire to himself, allowing the others to get an easier escape or route.
And Who the f**k said that Mikal? Quote someone who said he is a hero because he is a soldier?Objection.
Please tell me more about your past experiences in warfare, because I'm too CoD kid to understand you.
basically your view on everyone who rightfully bashed that soldier. you are right that people are not right calling him an idiot but you are not right with saying that they are not right, because how right can you be if you haven't experienced anything yourself OR you outrightfully show you base opinions about people OVER THE INTERNET.

Objection.
He didn't claim he was called a hero because he is a soldier. You are showing off your reading skills there with a pint.
And about people who called him hero:
Go to this page and press CTRL + F, type in hero, look especially on the earliest pages. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLHU-_OhT8g#)
Atleast the guy was ready to sacrifice for something, to safe his friends, while you are doing nothing, wasting your life, sitting in front of your monitor, playing very sinister and clever, criticizing him of his absurd act.If I had to join the army I would, TBH I'de rather nuke the whole taliban continent to save military expenses, but thats just me.
If you wouldnt die for something, then you're not capable of living.
If I had to join the army I would, TBH I'de rather nuke the whole taliban continent to save military expenses, but thats just me.
And kill at lest 300 thousand innocents.Oh, America did way worse to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and more.
Oh, America did way worse to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and more.Exactly. :lol:
Oh, America did way worse to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and more.
All the European nations or related did evil towards humanity than good.
what i'm defending are the soldiers, who are fighting for their countries
fighting for their countriesWhat the hell
Oh, America did way worse to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and more.Yes, more Anti-American talk. But again, at least its right. But do you have to label America as the bad guy every time? Why is this propaganda spreading on the internet to make America seem like the devil of war?
If I had to join the army I would, TBH I'de rather nuke the whole taliban continent to save military expenses, but thats just me.But Mikal, you are going to slay hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Why is this propaganda spreading on the internet to make America seem like the devil of war?Why America is labeled as bad guy to non-Americans very often is because America actually is bad.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unfortunate events, indeed though. But in hind sight, Japan's refusal to surrender (After warning and continue of the pacific war) was as much of a cause of deaths(indirectly) than Fat man and Little boy(directly). But that is out of the question of the topic.
But Mikal, you are going to slay hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
the soldiers, who are fighting for their countriesWoah woah woah, stop it there fella, you're going full retard mode., as I also defend Taliban soldiers.
Woah woah woah, stop it there fella, you're going full retard mode.
They are fighting for a cause, they had their country invaded and they are fighting for it, sure, the retards who use little kids are f**king scum that should die.Who invaded Afghanistan? Right now I'm not talking about Taliban (hence I fucking even strokethrough that part), I'm talking about NATO soldiers. How are they fighting for their countries, for their NATO?
Yes, 20 seconds to reload. This guy wouldn't survive 20 seconds in a real war.
Who invaded Afghanistan? Right now I'm not talking about Taliban (hence I f**king even strokethrough that part), I'm talking about NATO soldiers. How are they fighting for their countries, for their NATO?
So, tl;dr, The leaders of the countries are the messed up ones, they are the ones that cause the wars and they are responsible for every bullet that is shot, the soldiers, they are in a war, it is a terrible thing, yes, but they are doing their jobs.No since SOME countries go to war just to make peace, would you want a country to exist thats ran by the Taliban? I highly doubt you would.

I don't believe he was shooting into the air I can't tell where the enemies are shooting at them from if it's like most fights there on the hill on the other side and judging the distance compensating for the Coriolis effect he is aiming at that other hill perfectly. And he was being covered by the rest of his group, the main evidence of that is the amount of dust that is coming from each side of him because he doesn't look back at the rest of the soldiers I can't say for certain.TBH, it looks like the Taliban in this video have far better shooting skills than the actual soldier, if his cover fire was any good maybe he wouldn't have been being shot at, of course I've never been in combat with bullets flying everywhere, but my guess is I'de being giving cover fire from somewhere else not the actual cliff face they are shooing at, I'd also guess he was purposly trying to get shot in order to get out of the army sooner.. :redface:
After he was hit however he was only giving cover fire.

Those shooting at him were probably at a distance to be still and not moving, also probably covered enough to not be shot, otherwise cover fire might not have been needed in the first place.

None of you clearly has any idea of what cover fire is.
The idea of covering fire is to gain attention on yourself by shooting. No one else was shooting except him, so he pretty much did provide covering fire.
No, you clearly have no idea what covering fire is. Covering fire is basically suppressive fire, used to decrease the accuracy of the enemy. If the enemy can't shoot accurately it dramatically decreases the chance he will hit you when he shoots at you. Also, when you provide covering fire, you don't run down a hill shooting randomly. Covering fire is to suppress the enemy so that a member or certain group can move to a position.Using movies for an accurate description?
