Hello, I figured I would create my first post with a bang. To start off, I am a former U.S. Marine (2004-2008) and I am a combat veteran of the Iraq Campaign. I was deployed to the Al Anbar Province of Iraq in 2005 as part of a unit that performed security patrols, escorts, and various missions that I will not discuss in detail.

One day we were performing a vehicle patrol of the area when two Iraqi vehicles came racing toward us at a high rate of speed. After waving, shouting, and firing warning shots, the vehicles did not stop and were presumed to be VBIEDs (vehicle-bourne improvised explosive devices). We opened fire with M16A4s and a 240G 7.62 machine gun. Needless to say, the suicide drivers failed at their mission. One was seriously injured and taken into captivity after being hastily treated for his wounds. The other, which you see here, received bullet wounds to the chest and head. The pressure from the head impact actually caused the left eye to pop-out. If you look closely at the second picture, you can see the holes in the windshield from the kill shots. We were impressed with the outcome.

Yup happens too often. I always thought it would be hard to get a headshot in those circumstances. I guess if it was a 240, it wouldn't be to bad. Should have hit it with a 203.

So, was there an IED in the car, or are we conveniently forgetting about that?

E.O.D. was called out and used the robot and confirmed that no explosives were rigged to the vehicles, however, we recovered these rifles from the cars. Don't even try to ask me why these idiots attempted to ram a patrol of four heavily armed HMMWVs thinking they'd be able to achieve something, because your guess is as good as mine.

You know what, I get sick of people who have attitudes like you. I've been to the sandbox, I was stuck in Fallujah as a Marine for quite some time. when there is a checkpoint being conducted and someone does not stop when they are told to, they get shot. I'm pretty sure you've never been in uniform, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if you against the war. There is nothing wrong with that attitude, but believe me, you don't just open fire on a vehicle for no reason, you'd end up in a federal prison for the rest of your life for MURDER. These people obviously warranted actions that brought this escalation of force upon them. Damn near every unit's standard operating procedure calls for firing upon a vehicle that does not stop; it's not the unit or the guard's fault that some idiot retard from a third world country doesn't want to listen and comply. Sounds to me like the idiots got what was coming to them.
