  1. Idiot. 1st thing you learned is don’t pick up ammunition when it’s not your own.

  2. Halfway through my mind started replacing all the fucks with sukas and blyats.

    Says something about my viewing habits.

  3. Dude I’ve been there hearing beeps on the detector then the scratching the Earth and punching it when you don’t find anything cuz it’s hot as fuck. That is wild though I would never do that lol not even on the worst day

  4. Killed by stupidity, but then saved by dumb luck.

  5. RIP live leak. The internet is just not the same without you.

  6. Looks like a little village in the arghandab that I patrolled in 2010. We found hundreds of victim initiated devices. Editing for clarity after reading again. We didn’t find hundreds in that village. We had around 8-10 villages in our total battle space along highway 1 just south of Kandahar city proper.

  7. I wonder if this guy ever thinks it went off and he’s been in purgatory ever since. That happens to me sometimes.

  8. Christ alive he’s a lucky sod. I used to work with EOD teams around the same time and I was internally twitching watching he do this.

    Rule one for Afghanistan, don’t just pick up random shit!

  9. … Yeah you don’t fucking touch SHIT in Afghanistan. I know a guy who had his legs blown off because he grabbed a box of tampons (trash) to tell someone to quit being a pussy. It was a pull-string ied.

  10. He should’ve known when the LiveLeak logo popped up on his camera.

  11. Seriously, how fucking dumb do you need to be to do this in Afghan? That place was always IED central.

  12. Brother is shitting his pants as he ran away. The Taliban could smell it from miles.

  13. I’ve seen soldiers to dumber things….but damn….that was stupid

  14. Imagine having kids and showing them this video. Must be a very unnerving feeling knowing that you wouldn’t have been born had this gone the way it was “supposed to”

  15. ACUs tell me ~2007-2010ish. Dude we had training on IED identification already by then lol. This troop certainly likes to roll the dice.

  16. why did the guy picking it up saying *”holy f*ck”* sound like peter griffin lmao *Lois i’m coming*

  17. This is how you learn the colour of adrenaline is brown 🤣

  18. And… That’s why you never touch ammunition that isn’t yours.
