Safe Mode: On
US soldier got hit four times during firefight
 Part of channel(s): Afghanistan (current event)

As being a retired soldier, I can't understand why he decided to move down into the open area without any shields? His previous location seemed a way far better than the spot where he was hit.

His explanation was that he had come out into the open to draw fire so his squad could have gotten to safety.

Considering the feasibility of the situation, I suspect this clip might be a fake.

  • Did this guy lose his training, orientation, or what to get outright exposed?

  • I wondered the same thing. He left cover when he didn't have to.

    You need to work on those reloads, troop.

    Good job. We need more guys like him

  • When I play X-com my soldiers don't expose themselves in the open during a fire fight. If they are shot at, they drop smoke to give themselves cover.

  • I'm not sure what he was hoping to achieve there. I don't think he knew either.

    I do know that the last thing they need when pinned down is a casualty out in the open.

  • Fake. Nobody in their right mind staggers about, exposed on a hill side under fire. The guy obviously lacked and knowledge of tactics, did not fire any aimed rounds, nothing. It was if he was playing some paint ball game. I was asking myself.."Where is he going?" I guess he did not know himself. AK rounds when they hit home do a lot of damage, and by the way he was shouting "ouch" I guess he was acting. 7.62 high velocity rounds striking the ground and rocks make for some pre More..

    • @Rexdeus WATCH CAREFULLY where he is returning fire .this a firefight from either side of the valley,maybe a distance of about 2k plus,and therfore the round is significantly slower at that range.also i think youve been watching to many hollywood war films because bullets dont explode on impact and the trooper is proper wired and full of adrenalin so hes hardly going to get some tissues out and have a good cry

    • @anthony turner Where do I say "Explode" ? I have been in a bunker receiving shots from 7.62 Nato rounds. The impacts were very loud and the dirt thrown up that hit the softer ground was thrown up quite a bit. Maybe if the shooters are 2 K away, the chances of getting hit 4 times is very improbable. He was moving and even a very good sniper could not get 4 rounds on target, a flight time of 2 seconds at a guy stumbling about? Sorry...not very credible. Also, the worst wounds happen whe More..

  • I agree with your summary. He is either an incredibly lucky fool or the story is made up.
