Don't take a rifle to a tank fight... unless it's 50cal.

Then you can destroy the tank with it.

I remind the chairborne rangers who get so excited about video like this that some of our guys who actually do the fighting die in burning tanks...

It'd be nice if the Mobys would give up on the chickenhawk routine.

I could swear this video is from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I know I've seen it before, and I'm pretty sure it was in that context.

I only bring it up since I think some sites have mentioned it as being from Iraq.

Oooohhhh, tough words from Anjin-San, you are right our guys are dying over there, but who are you to call anyone a "chairborne" ranger? Can't we just enjoy the video without a comment like yours?
