There is no War in Iraq. There is no War in Afghanistan. They are but two battlefields in a greater war, The Long War, and despite what others would have you believe:
When the enemy meets us on the field of battle, we kick their A**!
Got this one from a new friend. Sweet compilation of some hirabist-islamofascists making friends with the Apache. Great footage, great tune, and the original audio is left in. Awesome!
If you are at work, enjoy this one with the volume down as it's set to Dope's "Sick" with its liberal sprinkling of - "Bang bang bang in your head f**ker. Bang bang bang and you're dead f**ker".
If you want to give it a shot, and you should 'cause the audio is great, your safe up until the 1:20ish mark. Runs 3:09.
Whew, long weekend. Graduation, Mother's day, and hunting terrorists on YouTube...
Here is some B-roll footage from an Aerial Weapons Team to get us started off this week. Runs 1:31.
Multi-National Division Baghdad UAV Observes AWT Engage Rock
B-roll of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle which killed two criminals and wounded four. Scenes include the UAV tracking the criminals that were moving rocket rails from one site to an alley where the AWT engaged the criminals in the building with three Hellfire missiles.
This strike took place on May 4, 2008. These three guys must be part of the 18 sent to their virgins recently in Sadr City. The mahdi army is just taking a beating.
...US and Iraqi forces have inflicted heavy casualties on the Mahdi Army in Sadr City and surrounding neighborhoods since the fighting broke out in Baghdad on March 25. According to US and Iraqi reports compiled by The Long War Journal, 502 Mahdi Army fighters have been killed in and around Sadr City. These numbers do not include Mahdi Army fighters who may have died after being wounded in the fighting...
That makes a whopping 36,144 virgins used up by the mahdi army alone. Whew, how are they ever going to keep up.
Aerial Weapons Team Strikes Insurgents
B-roll of a Multi-National Division Baghdad aerial weapons team that killed three criminals and destroyed a rocket rail being used by criminals to launch indirect-fire attacks in the Sadr City district of Baghdad . An aerial weapons team conducting surveillance identified a group of criminals preparing to launch an indirect-fire attack in the Sadr City district of Baghdad. Scenes include the criminals setting up the rocket and then being destroyed by two hellfire missiles.
When you own the night, the enemy can't use it. If they do, bad things happen, like Hellfire and 30mm shells raining down. Runs 1:14 with NSFW ground troop language.
At least 216 virgins served up in this little engagement.
Hellfire vs Rocket Team
Predator takes out insurgents observed firing rockets at a Coalition base. Notice secondary explosions from other rockets stored in the vehicle cooking off.
They just don't get it. I guess during training they forgot to mention that we see EVERYTHING. You can run, but you can't hide. and...If you and three terrorist buddies are running, make sure not to win the race.
Runs 1:13 MND-B Soldiers Kill Two Terrorists
B-roll of Soldiers using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to fire a hellfire missile and kill two armed terrorists. Scenes include footage taken from the UAV of terrorists with weapons attacking Iraqi Security and Coalition Forces and the explosion of the missile.
Standing on a street corner with an RPG launcher may not be the best idea. Standing by a guy carrying an RPG? Defiantly not healthy. Do you still get your virgins for being stupid? Maybe to conserve virgins they will only get half. Runs 1:14.
B-Roll video UAV Kills 6 Heavily Armed Criminals
B-Roll of Coalition forces from Multi-National Division – Baghdad operating an unmanned aerial vehicle observed a large group of criminals with rocket-propelled grenade launchers and a mortar tube in northeast Baghdad at approximately 9:30 p.m. April 10. The UAV fired a Hellfire missile killing six heavily armed criminals at approximately 9:45 p.m.
Here we have a MQ-1 Predator hunting a mortar team. The Hellfire hits their truck and one guy escapes. To bad for him, this hunter had backup. The jihadi shelters in a ravine which an A-10 promptly rakes with 30mm Gatling gun fire.
Hellfire Vs Mortar Team
Predator and A-10 team up to take out insurgent mortar team trying to escape
I wonder what happens to a jihadi when a hellfire slams into him. Runs 1:36. Apache Bombing at Insurgents with Hellfire - Iraq
Apache helicopters monitoring insurgents placing an improvised explosive devise (IED) in the road. Scenes include Apaches engaging and destroying the IED with a Hellfire missile. Produced by Task Force Marne Public Affairs.
Do you suppose this is live? Is this some live BDA of a predator raining Hellfire on some insurgents, with audio from the operational side? Probably not, but if so... How cool!

The US Army's 1/506th infantry 101st airborne division call in a hellfire to take out insurgents in a building in Ramadi, Iraq. You can actually see one of these insurgents fly out of the building when its hit. leaked by: Dronetek
Here is an interesting video of a hellfire striking a house. What a cool sound just before it hits. It's the last thing he heard before meeting his virgins...
A short video of :36. Footage caught by ground troops and laced with some mild language. Apache Hellfire Rocket on an insurgent hide out - Iraq "Close Call" leaked by: IRAQI_TRANSLATOR_USMC
