Good shooting, I'm glad you made it home.

Because maybe you were invading a country you didn't belong in and they felt the need to protect their families? Put the shoe on the other foot. If Iraq invaded the USA for a bullshit motive would you arm yourself? I'm not from the USA and I appreciate your service, I'm just dipping into another prospective.

He answered in the third post or so. No explosives. Just some weapons. The rest was only raving assumptions like "they were trying to ram our post" and such. But he felt pretty much proud of what they did.

In one word, 'murica.

You can´t deal with critical thinking do you. That´s why the rest of the world looks down on American soldiers. Because they are brainless killing machines without being able to reflect on their deeds. Gelded murderers from intellectual poor backgrounds.

I thought Volvos were supposed to be safe. Dammit man!

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.

Over there it's either them or you. I'm glad to see it was them. Nice job soldier and thank you for your service. Hope all is well. I've been to that stinking cat box myself 5 times. Every time I tried telling my superiors I hadn't left anything over there after my first trip they kept sending me back. Oh well my 20 years are done and I never have to see that wretched part of the world again.

Just a couple of notes; there are obvious things to look for in a VBIED, eg visible body alterations to the vehicle, whether or not the chasis look waited down etc. A good soldier without the intention to murder will look for the signs with a powerful scope which most soldiers at such checkpoints should have in their M240 B or whatever individual or crew served weapon they carry.Secondly, its their f..king country!Police or National Guards in America or other civilised countries dont just open fire at a speeding vehicle even in a high speed chase with the chase vehicle speeding through choke point.As much i want to herald this post, it should not be here and be glorified.

[festilon27]

Weighted down i mean to write; cause VBIED includes in addition to the explosive charge component like C-4,other things usually mettalic for projectiles.These will drastically alter the weight of the vehicle been used and a discerning eye with a powerful scope should see this before engaging.

Ohhhh...he leakin'

Thanks for your service!
