#1 Two sergeants, including the team leader, dismounted and cleared the trenchline, accounting for a good proportion of the enemy KIA. The team leader is a woman.

Combat sometimes like photography, close with the subject.

#2 Terrorists really have unreliable camera crews. I can't recall one frame in which the picture was steady, even when they were just filming traffic!

#3 Well, that was a lot of nothing. I hope that camera muj took one in the head. He couldn't even film the traffic steadily before the guns started going off. Of course, judging from the news in an earlier Rantburg post, maybe his nails weren't dry yet.

I would like to be able to know what they were saying when the NG Humvees started rolling in. That's about the only part of the clip I could actually see and understand.

#4 Yeah, subtitles on that thing would be fantastic. What's the Arabic translation for "Is that a Humvee, Mahmoud? I think I just shat my pants."
