   Holy shit, those gusy are lucky that was half assed IED or they would have been toast. Extremely lucky guys. And people wonder why our soldiers get so pissed off over there, it's crap like this.

   dude.... i submitted footage like that 2 years ago, but we stopped and fought and it never got posted.... plus my boy cyrus got hit. minor wounds. camera actually started rolling a few seconds after the hit. so i guess the buildup is the key. you wanna see it? look up combat in iraq combined by doc hiller on your tube.... its near the end....

It's not lunacy you XXXX. These guy know EXACTLY what could have happened. I can't think of anything else that would give an adrenaline rush besides almost being blown up.

   1. Thank god our boys survived that. 2. They were lucky and in shock. The cowboy comments are an adrenaline response. Later in the day they probably realized how close they came to death. 3. Those "rats" in Iraq are fighting a war just like our boys are. They don't have armored HMMVs to patrol in. If our boys didn't have so much equipment you think they would be running around in broad daylight? 4. We are in their country. Show a respect to soldiers on both sides. Ours and theirs are only following orders.

Ok, now I know you are not a psychologist. Anyone worth half his ass would know that laughter is a way to relieve nervous tension. How else would you deal with that shit day after day. You have to learn a way to blow it off or else go insain. Call me in 10 years when you have a little more prespective on life you XXXX:mad2:

    at first i was thinking these guys are insane, but then i remembered how many times ive almost been toast and burst out laughing. i think it just natural to laugh, so that you dont go into instant insanity. theres always time later to reflect on how close you came to death.

    just had to say something about what was previously said about respecting the other side. now I know this doesn't mean ALL of them are like this, but I have read about how they have taken their own woman prisoner and done extremely terrible things to them, like injecting gasoline into their veins to see what will happen. Just had to mention that.
