That's pretty brazen and bold, especially for the cameraman to rock up behind his shooter buddy and record/release the footage. Keep doing that and the Iraqi soldiers might start getting more twitchy and catch on to them. |

CP I'm not military, but if I was an insurgent/terrorist, it makes sense to me. Basically zooming up on check points or guard shacks that only have a few guys in them, jump out and kill them all with silenced weapons, and take all their gear. |

Obviously the audio quality is poor, but I believe that well trained soldiers would recognize suppressed weapons fire. It isn't perfectly silent.
Also, those guys didn't look that ready. Most were sleeping. |

At about 1:40 of the second video (link), it looks like one of the Muj hit guys gets himself a nice new set of body armour, complete with mags and gear.

They didn't have a state of readiness. They let their guard down and paid with their lives.

Quoted: Do they just basically go around doing drive-bys on checkpoints and stuff? Not just shooting from the cars, but also driving up (wearing inconspicuous civilian attire) to checkpoints and guard huts, running out swiftly and 'decisively', and shoot the guards that are on duty, then the ones sleeping/sitting in the guard huts. I'm just a civilian with no military experience, so you guys with experience can tell me how wrong I am, but they actually looked reasonably slick. Though the Iraqi guards did seem pretty much oblivious, to be fair. They may well have been paying too little attention. |

Spend a day on, day off every day checking ID's for a year. One day someone rolls up and shoots you in the face.
Thus is life in the IA.

you get caught with yer pants down and someone will take advantage. My impression of Iraqi's were that they were lazy and lacked attention to detail. Hell they did not even like getting up before 8 am to work or train.

Those guys were in and out in 30 seconds, most of the time with a handful of stolen gear. Pretty slick.
Why were the IA guys asleep during the middle of the damn day with one guy (unarmed I think) standing watch? |
