    That's wasn't very smart. I guess nobody was injured.

    I wonder what was the reasoning behind all of this...
  4. RaidenatorSalvaged from archive17 Apr 2007, 06:02
    That may not have been the best idea...I'm glad no one was hurt though. Don't they have fire extinguishers in those humvees?

    yeah, i would have suggested an anti-tank round to the car...
  6. WrecktangleSalvaged from archive17 Apr 2007, 06:59
    All I have to say is that the driver is one lucky bastard.

    I hope they learned what not to do the next time they face a similar situation. You stop thinking over there for a couple minutes & it could cost you. For people that are trained to handle these task that was a careless way of doing it. They got lucky, and thank God for that. :) :)

    You think one of those boys would have been from texas...lasso it and tow it. That is how they get the bitches to shack up in the farm house. /no seriously anti-tank round comment was spot on...talk about playing with fire.

    i saw that coming,these guys never heard of IEDs?
  11. shogoclintSalvaged from archive17 Apr 2007, 10:46
    Not the best idea that, did i hear someone cheering in the background?

    At first I thought this was about 5 minutes too long, but the comments at the end kind of wrapped the clip up nicely.

    yeah, i would have suggested an anti-tank round to the car... Using the .50 cal would have been a better bet. costs less. But I personally like the anti-tank idea myself.

    Hell I'd have taken it as a good excuse to shoot shit at the car. But that's just me I guess.

    They blew it up on purpose. Why would they try to move a Vehicle IED? Those Humvees are bullet proof and bomb proof. I guess not fire proof. But look at the windows and doors as their pulling the broken humvee away, they cabin of the humvee is still intact.

And they r only partially bullet proof. they probably didnt know their was an IED in it. there are many cars in Iraq, that r abandoned and they just did want to push it away

    They blew it up on purpose. Why would they try to move a Vehicle IED? Yeah, ok. They blew it up on purpose. "Nelson! Get in your Humvee and use it to set off that VBIED!" :1orglaugh: Those Humvees are bullet proof and bomb proof. I guess not fire proof. All of these images (http://images.google.com/images?q=destroyed+humvees&g… of "bomb-proof" humvees and this article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11810053/) say otherwise. Seriosly dude, get your facts straight.

    That's wasn't very smart. I guess nobody was injured. So they should have left it there so some kids could play with it? :eek7:

    Grab the Pine Tree Air freshner!! And dont forget the fuzzy dice!!

    Couple questions: -The obvious; why didn't they just launch a rocket at the damn thing? -Didn't John Murtha, Hillary, John Kerry, et al tell us they don't have the proper armor? That fucking driver survived! -And, wouldn't it be nice if we let Marines be Marines? Ya know, break things and kill people! Not stand around, conduct traffic stops and look for bombs!

    Ok being a soldier myself ill shed a little light on this. First off they were simply lazy morons who figured "it cant be a VBIED or else it would have gone off already" and couldnt wait for EOD(explosive ordnance disposal) crews to come out and handle it correctly. I hope that commander lost his commission for putting one of his soldiers in harms way. You get lazy, and put your guard down, shit like this happens. The humvee on the other hand is bulletproof and bomb resistant. there are two types of bulletproof hummers, the slapped together uparmor kits on the 1025s and the ones that are built ground up with armor(much stronger) the 1114s. The engine however is not armored in the least. It is designed to take the brunt of of explosions and absorb it without killing the occupants. And yes the glass is all broken, its meant to break like that. you can spider a crack across class 5 bullet proof glass with a pebble the size of your finger nail thrown by a 5 year old(yes we did it by accident once) Its the way its designed. It absorbs the energy over the whole surface of the glass. And no you dont fire a rocket at it. Thats extremely dangerous. Typically EOD destroys the IED or VBIED with a water charge which rips the bomb into pieces and seperates the trigger from the explosive effectively disabling it.

I don't know what kind of soldier you are, but humvee's aren't bulletproof. They too are bulletresistant. Meaning they can take small arms fire, but anything bigger means death. This also includes armor piercing rounds. The newer models are said to be bullet proof, but the ones they're coming out with havn't reached the field yet.
