U.S. Marines happen upon a group of insurgents holed up in a building. The aftermath of the incident is shown but there’s no gore per se.
It’s a dramatic, intense video that clearly shows the risk and complexity of close quarters battle (CQB) as well as how close CQB can get. There’s no political motive to posting this video.
That stupid little dog is going to get himself killed! He seemed to be attracted by the ricochets and was surprisingly almost oblivious to all the gun fire and exploding debris. Sadly, I suppose that’s what dogs are used to over there.
Oh, btw, watch carefully for the accidental weapon discharge starting at around 4:50! It’s the part where the squad relocates and the Marine goes running out the door with his rifle hanging at his side, pointed down. Probably the result of bad trigger discipline or perhaps faulty weapon?
Good thing no one was close by! That could have been a potentially fatal error.
