http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/upload/thumb/948_17137.jpg (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/media/4502-BIP-and-close-call) Soldier has a close call while filming a blow in place. Zhari District, Kandahar, Aug 2011. Just goes to show how restricted soldiers are by rules of engagement.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/media/4502-BIP-and-close-call)

I can't make out what he says right after the explosion, " you didn't put it in the right spot you dick" maybe?

Also goes to show you just how much you always have to be "on toe"

How were they restricted? Not that I would agrue against killing every living thing in the countries we are currently employed, but it is an impossible and infeasible goal. Leveling a square mile because of an IED is excessive and time consuming, I wouldn't want to be part of it.

My real worry about the video is the gunner, outside the hatch, saying, "Where's my ACH." If you don't have that on with a BIP and the possibility of a complex attack you're asking to be dead.

HA! ACH my ass Brendan. Wayne McCullough would scoff at such precautions. That's right! The Pocket Rocket is having doubts about his countryman's flair for.............. fashion accessories? Lol!

Yes, I know I've been a member for eons, but honest to God, I cannot figure out how to properly quote a brother (A brother Apache is what I mean). I have to highlight, copy & paste. Am I just dumber than everyone else? Well even if that's true, I would appreciate some educating. Unless none of you know how either???? And you guys call me dumm, hypocrites!

My bad! It was me who called myself dumb, not you guys. That outburst was unacceptable. And so are 3 posts in a row; quick succession style. So I apologize again. But I can't edit or delete my God darn posts either. Do you think I would harrass the entire thread if I could have simply edited my original post? Not sober I wouldn't. And I don't want to hear any shit out of you Serpa! The whole Goddamn state of Massachusetts knows about you. So what if it's mostly good things they say...when everybody has good things to say about a guy...it's usually because they're terrified of crossing him. Ain't that right Serp? But I love you too pal. We're good, me & you? Right? Serp? How bout them Red Sox of ours pal? I should get some sleep. What the fu.....where the emoticons at? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

MY Red Sox should not have beat YOUR team! Perhaps you are correct Jamie, but...............we did :excited:! Thank you very much for your information. None of these buttons appeared on my screen until I clicked on your quote & then wa-la, a whole new interface. I must have been using the economy class version. Much obliged Jamie. And for what it's worth, the Cardinals pitching staff is the best I've ever seen top to bottom. Small consolation, I know, but for this year only. Next year the Cards won't need any consolations.

Unfortunately it seems like some portions of the site use different bulletin board systems or something. In one area you get videos embedded in the post with a "Watch" button and a reply with quote at the bottom. In the other area you get a video at the top of the page with a simple comment thread and an open quick reply text box and no like or dislike buttons either. Also no ability to edit your post, unlike here. Confusing as hell.
