Scary stuff ... but gives a whole new meaning to the word 'dumbass'.

How can you post things like that???? think of the poor wildlife that perished in that act of stupidity , Oh and maybe the edjut Iraqi soldiers should get a mention too. UNLUCKY!!!!!!!! have a word with yourself Rab!!!!!!!!! love youxxx

The radio says they were friendly forces, ie iraqis working for the US... why not just carry out a controlled explosion from a safe distance? Dumb.

[Devin]

ok, so the guys were idiots for poking the round with a gun. a live round none the less. But the 2 guys filming it *woah dude!* and *that sucks, that guy had a pretty nice shirt on* could show a weee bit more sympathy to the loss of human life

[SomeGuy]

Devin, Their Job is to take lives. it would be hard to sympathize with the loss of human life if that is all you did.Ya they were Friendlies but they were Mecs, not US soldier.

[Devin]

So if it were a group of US soldiers then it would be sad? Im sure that the Mecs didn't have any family *sarcasm*

[Logfather]

Well most mercs actually don't have any family, or don't have contact with them atleast. It's still sad but hey it's a warzone out there, ever had a war without people dying? I don't think so.

Especially soldiers are trained to deal (in some way, shape or form) with the loss of human lives. They can crack a joke about it even (as this vid shows) but it doesn't mean they don't find it sad or anything. They just deal with it real fast and easily. Don't be so black and white Devin, this is not new stuff I'm telling you.

Damn that was crazy!
