  2. I like how the sub went from only posting suicide drones from the current war to IEDs from Afghanistan and Iraq.

  3. I’m guessing him facing the explosion sidewards is why he was even alive after that
    Fuck me didn’t expect him to instantly start crawling away.

  5. All due respect, but why the hate for the combat footage?

    This sub literally mocks anyone that’s not from a NATO/Ukraine in how they fight and die, but the instant its American, this sub basically clamors for it to be taken down and gets queasy as if its the worst thing in the world you’ve seen, and i know some of you fuckers have seen *MUCH* worse.

    # FACE THE REALITY.

    People die in wars, and combat footage exist for for historical and ongoing wars. You get to see footage from the other side for a change, which is a surprise since its so ridiculously hard to find, and mostly suppressed by your own government. I’m glad i get to see history from either side. Mad your feelings got or it hit close to home to see on of your own die?You can’t like war and ignore the consequences of what it means to go one.

    Grow up.

    Edit: typos and corrections.

  6. Main reason why you never stop to investigate piles of trash in an IED-rich battlefield. Poor fellow probably didn’t think much of it, the Iraq war really was a war with weeks of mundaneness and complacency followed by moments of sheer terror.

  7. This group was one of the only groups that existed *prior* to the US invasion. Pretty sure they were originally known as Ansar al-Islam and had training camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, then changed their name to Ansar al-Sunnah once the war began, but eventually went back to using Ansar al-Islam.

    They were the most ‘Islamist’ group besides al-Qaeda / Islamic State in Iraq obviously and did a lot of suicide bombings and beheadings etc…

    The main reason I think they never officially joined al-Qaeda / Islamic State was that they were a primarily Kurdish group and their interests were always more focussed on the Kurdish region of Iraq. Plus they were probably never comfortable with being absorbed into an Arab-led organisation.

  8. They upvote these clips more than Russian POV clips. Not biased, I enjoy watching all forms of combat footage. (History buff) .
    there’s definitely an audience here.

  9. Waiting for the “shouldn’t have invaded” comments…

    oh, western hypocrisy?

    how unexpected
