If you get motion sickness DO NOT watch the first 1/2 of this video!!! ;)

[MaLass]

what...... the Fuck...

[topbuzzer]

Stupid idiots

[holck]

These guys are unFUCKINGprofessional cowboys. (Not all of them of course, but "cam"guy and his body)

[powpow]

dummies

[gutro]

So at roughly 3:20 he says "Fuck it" breaks formation to engage the enemy on his own accord... then correct me if I'm wrong but does he actually shove the barrel of his rifle into the snow at 3:27? and now they are low on ammo because his buddy fired at will and sprayed the whole fucking forest.
I'll be surprised if these guys make it out. Totally unprofessional.

Army = Undisciplined.

Looks colder than a penguins willy.

[ChapaWolf]

this is stupid

[Truthat77]

WTF!!! almost like they more into their bollywood movie making experience than the enemy and incoming fire. Seems like these guys were trained by the spray and pray blind fire around corner Iraqi military. In Angola we would throw rounds downrange for suppression, BUT our philosophy was shoot and move. Better said and descriptive in the Afrikaans language, 'Vier en beweeging met doel' or better translated to ' Fire with purpose and strategic advance' Immediate attack and advance strategy that had our kill ratio as high as 100:1 with usually no more than 1 or 2 platoons going out on deep patrol with our fatalities being extremely low. Blind fire was strictly prohibited and often a punishable offense.

[Truthat77]

About the 'new or post 1994' ANC run South African Defence force. Did you know that South Africa now has the only military with a union. And they have already gone on a strike for better conditions and wages.
Oh yes!! It is so bewilderingly bizarre that its unbelievable. Believe it or not its true. TIA = This is Africa, but should be TIABR = This Is A Banana Republic

[Rangemaster]

no supervision

[Kurticus]

This is very unprofessional. Its shit like this that gets men killed

[ChapaWolf]

@Truthat77 Those guys in south Africa do it real good real hard. I have seen several clips of training and actual contact you boys clean out. Respect your way from the USA

[Towedjumper]

I believe that's called a soup sandwich. How do you not even know your ammo level until its all gone? As they stand there and blame each other. 100 rounds left.

[vapormissile]

is this what we've become?

[ZachK21]

It's like you took a bunch of kids off the street and gave them a 240

[Towedjumper]

I came back and watched this again and the thing above all that pisses me off most is that somebody ON HIS TEAM GOT HIT IN THE HEAD AND HE'S AUDITIONING FOR JACKASS STILL. He knows it too, he talks about it at the end when "Gunny" or whoever rolls up. What a douche

[Towedjumper]

All you other prior service types, regardless of branch: Would your senior NCO not seriously rip your head off, shit down your neck and make you pull KP for large chunks of time if you were doing half of this? I know I wouldn't have wanted to be caught doing half of what this guy was doing. Is it just me?

Kp? I think the senior NCO would have been putting a boot on at a time and sticking each one up of our asses for what was going on in this video

[Grendel]

At EXACTLY the 2 minute mark I saw the flash of "Old Ironsides." Serioulsy? What are these 1st Armored guys doing out there doing MY job? That 240 was aimed at Pakistan. That shit isn't a game. And of course, they have CAS. WTF is this shit? What am I looking at? Why are they clustered up? They could have been flanked in a heartbeat. Jesus. These tools are going to get a CIB now? Really? I think I am going to have an aneurism.

Yeah, not sure what is more shocking to me: The fact that these troops are so fubar or the fact that their NCO and officer corps. isn't fixing the issue. These guys would fit right in if they were in Syria and could manage a Snackbar or 5.

Spray from the hip? Check.
Fire all your ammo up as quick as possible? Check check.
Argue with each other? Check.
Seem unconcerned if one of your teammates goes down with a critical injury? Actually I think we have the Syrians beat here, they are more concerned about their fallen troops.

Sad.
