Those guys seem pretty disciplined in their firing.  ... I'm sure situations vary but they seemed a little more methodical.



Did you think so?

I think many of them were shooting semi-auto. Maybe 'cause thats what they had in their hand, or that's what those chose to set the selector on

My impression was a lack of discipline, and pretty much shooting at anything at all. and many without head gear with their back to the enemy

(oh..and Damn my lounge chair is comfortable!)

How did you like the comment from one who said "all that time in the Marines and I never fired a weapon, and look at me now" (or something to that effect)




interesting, I would say that they're not wearing covers because the attack was unexpected and they simply grabbed armor/lbv and weapons and did their thing.

good points, Enigma.

My first impression was one of it appearing casual, and un-professional

However, maybe thats exactly how these things happen in the real world of private security forces. They aren't on-ready 24/7, but able to defend themselves - in an offensive capacity if necessary

The closest I have been to a firefight is ducking a frying pan (so to speak)

Gentelmen...
forget the racist comments! we were talking to the insurgents... and to clarify "White Boy"it was the Blackwater PSD team leaders callsign!

As being one of the 11 guys on the roof those few intense days I can answer a lot of these questions before they get out of hand...
I will also be putting some new video up soon to show what its like for 11 guys to fend off 1000 insurgents oh and a pussy ass Spanish Company that didnt fire a shot because the madrid bombings had just happedned and they were told not to fire a shot because they were ordered to pull out of iraq.
anyways I will have some new video up soon for your veiwing pleasure

Thanks,

I don't think the comment everyone is refering to is actually racist. Listen closely just a few moments before that comment is made. You'll hear a black guy say: "Hey white boy, you need a magazine". Then soon after the comment follows.

My guess? These two guys were good friends and they were just harassing each other. Both were probably grinning ear to ear when they were saying that stuff. I view it as no biggie. Just one of those "inside" things you'd have to be there to understand. I highly doubt the guy who uttered that is really a raging racist.

BTW, that was a pretty kick ass video. It was worth the wait to download.



Indeed.

You would be amazed at the stuff said back and forth amongst close team mates.

This is coming from a fellow who was known as "Cracker".

I loved it.



Now that makes sense. Close firends talk like that all the time.



My brother and I say all kinds of shit to one another.  We use a lot of movie lines and rather "un-PC" terminology on one another.  

Terms like "Jive Ass Honky MoFo, Crackah, White Devil, etc......"

Were YOU there?

The next time you're in a firefight I'll make sure to criticize YOUR camera slills, Scorsese.

How do YOU know they weren't taking fire. We've already heard from someone who WAS, so:

Only a dumbass is gonna stand up and expose themselves to fire just so they can have a better home video. Besides, this wasn't a firefight where the enemy was just mere yards away where they could be easily seen. This engagement was taking place at pretty long range. Note the burning vehicle in the distance.

The proof is in the pudding and we saw the end result of the fighting at the end of the video.....insurgents sitting tied up in the back of a 5 ton truck (one of which was crying like a little bitch) with sandbags over their head.

As for the gunships? Maybe they never hit any targets. That might explain why there was no video.

BTW, I guess these Blackwater guys will be all heartbroken that you dislike their video shooting ability. Maybe you can go over and grab us some better quality ones.
