- On this episode of 'Combat Reacts' I review helmet cam footage of US soldiers reacting to contact in Afghanistan. I've formatted this series as an AAR for the public, not just some random reacts video. I hate to be the armchair quarterback, but if one video can save ONE LIFE, I've done my job.
My Background: I am a former Special Forces SGM that started my career as an 11B or basic infantryman, and became a Special Forces 18B weapons specialist and served 9 combat rotations overseas. I served as a Sniper, Assaulter, JTAC, TSE expert, Free Fall jumpmaster and more.
I served in 3rd SFG, 10th SFG, USASOC, 19th SFG, and the CIA as a GRS officer protecting Case Officers overseas. I have a Bachelors degree in Homeland Security/Crisis Management and I appreciate you all tuning in!

Sgt. Maj. GLOVER,
This is 1-187 3rd BCT 101st Airborne. This was my first team leader. He had just got his E5 while in country before this. OEF 10-11. Paktika Province
The Army uses SGM as an acronym for Sergeant Major, the marines use Sgt Maj.
@@flight2k5 lol ok yes you're correct. However technically Mike was CSM Glover so..
Armor vs no Armor and u guys still lost..what a shame
@@FlushingStatic huh?
@sheldon fords we didn’t lose 🤣😂
I’m loving these combat reacts thanks Mike!
Getting stung by bees and getting shot at what a crap day
7:00 never seen the sun as a black dot on video before.
I believe you sir
Vietnam era vet. I’ve heard that charge into an ambush tactic military malpractice advice before. Actually we never did it.
Like here, we laid down suppressive fire, popped the blooper and tried to flank.
Our radio guy stayed down and communicated while at the same time watching our back.
I was the corpsman on a 17 man CAP team and we ran patrols, ambushes and raids every day or every night near the DMZ. I went out every night for a total of 25 months.
The other 16 guys were divided into four teams of four men and they went out two nights in a row and rested six… I was the fifth man on each team.
We always had a six to ten man contingent of locals (PF’s) with us. Their Top had fought against the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954… excellent soldier.
I came up with the idea of counting the remaining rounds in the PF’s M-1 carbines after firefights to see if they had actually fought.
I worked as a contractor for twelve years afterwards and earned enough money for college and law school… while contracting.
I did mostly high risk private jobs for individuals and ngo’s.
thank you for your service and welcome back
Thanks for your service, your sacrifices and for sharing part of your story. Much respect.
Wouldn't you want to do it (assaulting into the ambushers) like a reverse peel to do it correctly? Like advancing on a position by bounding very quickly? Or was this technique proven to be a bad one over there? But I would think it would create a small salient and you could be cut off. I was an 11B but in the 90s and never got deployed. We always trained to assault into a near ambush.
Preciate the service!
My brother you’re legit
Love love love.
Civilians like myself NEED to watch these videos in order to gain a real time analysis of the reactionary response of these soldiers - men who have been trained for this, not like us range monkeys who LARP around on weekends.
Although I am a normal civilian, I try to take the training seriously. The tactical understanding and information disclosed here is INVALUABLE.
Thanks Mike - btw, Cannot wait for sti videos…
Exactly.
I'm going to be so good at Tarkov.
@@xMaverickFPS im literally so cracked at zero hour after watching this
@@xMaverickFPS lmfao
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The first time I threw a frag at basic, the range guy that was at the cover with me got some shrapnel in his back plate. He was ducking too, just not low enough. He wasnt hurt, but just that inch or two of exposure was enough to get hit by the shrapnel from it. I'll never forget that... so I obviously always respected the frags power from that point on.
almost got u a frag kill on day one, maybe in the next life buddy !
almost got u a frag kill on day one, maybe in the next life buddy !
that guy darting in front of the guy just took 5 years off my life and now I need to go check for more gray hairs
Funny when that was way more shocking to me than the combat itself
This was my favorite combat reacts you’ve done so far!
I love how you talk about the mental side, as well as the maneuvering tactics.
After watching this video I realize how serving as an Infantryman during peace time was so uneventful that a lot of us did not take it seriously because it was just training with blank rounds.
The only thing that got my heart rate up was actually running through the drills.
Looks like they got super lucky. The camera guy seems to have had a failure and may not have gotten rounds off until after that one guy runs across his muzzle and he clears an fte.
Looking at the trij bouncing I think he might’ve got that initial round off then luckily had that failure. Guy had a horseshoe in his pocket
@@BroskY250 yeah. I think you're right. sadly the guy has another failure in the vid. Not sure if that's indicative of the dust and sand or failing equipment or ammo.
I'm a no name grunt deploying with the 27th in a few months, these videos help me stay critical to the basics we learned. This is literally textbook what you're saying and appreciate the class. I share these with my battle buddies and we do our own react to contact drills, and these videos help. Cheers man.
Anybody on your team entertaining enough to put those reacts up on youtube? Thanks for your service man I respect the hell out of anyone who can make that choice, that sacrifice, that role model behavior. Could be a career on the Tube for ya when you guys get out is all I'm suggesting : p
Thanks man stay sharp stay safe
@@jacobl6714 nice try russia
What even is the 27th?
thx for ur service
I've seen this firefight before from a different angle. There's a memorable line "fuck! I'm getting fucking stung by fucking bees!" that you can hear at 5:35. That would probably suck during a gunfight.
Wow…tense environment. Makes me appreciate our infantry fighters a lot more. Great example to share; thanks Mike!
@M. Denz dont be that guy
@M. Denz Definitely bro. My bad, I thought you were coming in with a "thank me for my service" type of attitude lol
that opening with the guy running across his line of fire.... i know this is a silly comparison but that happens in Squad and Insurgency all the time. Then the person you accidentally tk gets butthurt lol
Funny when they see you firing through s window or doorway and STILL step in front of you and wonder why they get killed. Greedy trying to steal kills and still complain.
Rule of thumb is to always look both ways before crossing, because if you don’t, you’re bound to have a small or large chunk of lead flying your way
There's a green beret video I believe clearing a house with 2 afghans. There is a motorcycle outside. Find that video and review it please!!
"I got one down inside *BIG TIME* "
One of the better videos I've seen here. I appreciate the analysis.
Your content is so no nonsense and straightforward. Much appreciated. I listen to all of your podcasts and always learn something from them. Thanks for doing what you do Mike. It's all relatable.
Excellent breakdown I agree 100%. The same situation happened to me also doing CQB, a man was crossing my line of fire, not fun but it happened. Yeah that guy was in a firefight before no question about that
I AM from Paraguay, a civilian, I like Guns, I train by my self an do train other people. I came from sport shooting but I like tactical. I AM member of the military reserve also.
Wonderfull analisis from a Wonderfull video to learn from.
Excelent content. I am a follower of yours chanels. Thanks a lot to share this with other people.
Appologize for my bad english.
Your English is fine!
You did a much better job with our language then I ever could with yours. Never apologize for learning, hope you're well!
This is great content. Hope to see more in the future!
Keep these coming Mike. Good stuff. Thank you, sir.
So do we know what kind of combat unit this is? Just curious I had a "similar" situation (in regards to intent and situational awareness not being understood). We got hit at our TCP (traffic control point) and had a wounded. We were still taking fire from the city but needed to set up a lz for the med vac.
A little back story about this TCP we were required to search female civilians so we had a detachment of female marine. Not to trigger anyone but they were not from combat mos so this was most of their first time really employing there weapons let alone being in a fire fight. soo keep this in mind.
We were still taking very heavy fire from the city so the majority of our force needed to focus on the city so i was sent with some smoke to take the female marines to the back berm and secure an lz while they transported the wounded from the front line and tried to prevent an overrun. So again not to trigger anyone but it was me and one other infantry marine with about 8 non combat female marines. They were scarred and had more adrenaline pumping through there veins then they are used to and had no official combat training outside of basic and MCT.
My orders were very simple we are under siege at the moment anyone approaches wave them off, fire a warning, if they keep coming drop them that is it. and i found my self like this guy having to constantly be screaming shit almost the entire time because the battle space was not being controlled and i was constantly being asked questions, on top of the fact that i had my head next to a 240 that just let off 2000+ rounds and could not hear shit I can understand this guys frustrations.
haha sorry kinda a long rant but if this was a combat platoon they may have been green and this was a lot of there first time being engaged in country, or it could have been a non-combat platoon and as explained above it can be difficult. I found myself having to be running back and forth down the berm "taking myself" out of the potential fight in order to basically teach simple tactics and observations on the fly.
and for some reason if anyone was invested in my little story the female marine gunny (e-7) was very understanding and appreciative that i was more patient yet demanding of them and the marine shot made a full recovery.
Interesting story.
Glad everyone made it out.
Thanks for sharing brother.
I’m stoked he made full recovery broski
@@PodreyJenkin138 Ty was just one of many the western border got squirrely there for about 5 months. But yea he is fine hell he uses the hell out of that story and scar lol
I didn’t like that position they posted up in. Sure it worked for fighting against some Neanderthals, but capable opponents would have maneuvered on these guys from up the street.
I’m actually surprised they didn’t have somebody around the far corner of that compound to the right catching them in a cross fire.
In nam it was different warfare different environment there was enough foliage to run up and pinch without being seen and in that environment camouflage was beneficial for those kind of tactics
Thanks for sharing useful analysis. I usually pass right by "reacts to" videos, but you conducted an effective debrief. I look forward to more content like this.
Keep up the awesome content buddy! I really enjoy learning from your channel.
Hey my dude, this is the first video I've seen.
To start, thank you for your service man. I don't support the war, but I do support you and your brothers and sisters. It's not about the fight, it's that you stepped forward and volunteered. For that I want to say that I truly appreciate you, and I sincerely hope/wish the heroes that didn't come back are never forgotten. Thank you again sir.
Ok, so also wow on the video dude. Like the shear amount of battlefield knowledge you have is amazing, true blue warrior. My little civi mind is blown. Sitting here listening and thinking of scenarios lol, like I know how I'd handle real combat. I've been shot at, but no one knows how they'd react to the real thing. But, I fucking love it man, you make shit make sense. Appreciate you.
Hey just out of curiosity what thing(s) made you decide you don't support the war? I'm torn, myself, because the a-holes in suits that are in government and the like who are rich and will never have to send a young son or daughter off to get killed in the wars that they create/enter us into....that really gets to me. Just like how judges are allowed to sentence people to life, without themselves ever having even the risk of finding out what it's like to be a grown human locked in a box : /
But at the same time the actual boys n girls on the ground have done such an amazing job. Getting saddam and bin laden and animals like that. More importantly there are little afghani, pakistani, iraqi girls who can go to a school. It seems like such a thing to take for granted over here, but they get to go to school. No matter how sleazy the actions and people who started this war are, that makes me so grateful. They are learning, they are being around their peers, they are growing up and being able to drive, able to educate themselves and learn about the wider world, hell they can walk to the store without needing some bearded savage who views them as property traipse them around like they're walking a dog
So I guess what I mean is, could you add some context and nuance to what you stated? I don't disagree, and I share the same sentiment for the most part, but it makes me so proud of humanity to see some of the things we (well them, really, but we as a country we as a species lol) have accomplished : ]
What war didn't you support? Afghanistan?
Mike,
If I was the commander of that group I would have had the guy on the far right to watch our right flank. And I'm thinking like you. I would have told the guys behind the ditch wall to start firing and than move back to assess any injuries
Your comment about balancing between head down behind cover, and being out of it to send rounds down reminded me of my boxing days. I learned through sparring that every moment I spent in my guard meant giving my opponent more momentum against me, more punches on me, and me losing my ability to efficiently identify what to counter and when.
Great analogy.
Yep, you will never be ready to counter if you are always running from the punches. It takes being able to stand in the pocket to counter.
Everything in life is that, a balance, finding the sweet spot. Any sport, any business, military, relationships, health, any subject.
Every company I was in:
Headquarters Platoon: Cheesedicks
1st Platoon: Ate dafuq up
2nd Platoon: Well balanced
3rd Platoon: Over achievers
The man whose camera we're seeing this through is definitely in a leadership position and experienced. And he probably has some young rookies in his element who haven't gotten used to this yet. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the noise and confusion, and it feels like every bullet is coming right for you when they're usually not. The enemy is nervous and stressed out too, so their shots aren't perfectly aimed either. When you hear those sonic cracks popping in your ears, that's when you know it's too close for comfort ... but you definitely can't keep your head down, because you're letting the enemy move on you and they might eventually work their way to a position that flanks your cover ... and that has to be avoided at all costs.
You can learn a lot about fire and maneuver from combat sports and simulations, but nothing really prepares people for that fear of impending death or bodily harm you get with the real thing. It takes some experience to learn how to think through that.
The most important Part of this video is highlighting just how crucial it is to train under stress, and if you’re running a small fireteam of buddies…train together under stress. You’re only as strong as the weakest link.
You need to talk about the truck convoy
I saw this video a while back and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Every single soldier there was cowering ( not taking cover ) and doing absolutely nothing except thst one guy. I thought about how you described this situation and none of them were doing anything. There was no advance, no flanking, they were just there, the other soldiers were barely obeying his orders.
You know what watching all these war videos shows me. Thst standing in front of a target and reloading your AR real fast is worthless. It’s a waist of time and money. Watch this video and see what real people in war and in a gun fight do.
If your being shot at, 95% of people will take cover for dear life. 95% of the people aren’t going to stick their heads up and shoot back.
It's not worthless but I can think of other things that are more important than getting accurate shots. A lot of it being mental and knowing how to move and react under that amount on danger and stress
@@hermanhimself yes, Worthless was too strong of a word but all these video do illustrate how completely different things really are from the type of training we are limited to. I play paintball with my kids quite frequently and I’ll tell you, playing paintball is about 100 times more realistic then going to the range.
When I go to the range now, I go just to have fun, I don’t see it as training at all.
@@concernedpatriot.2221 the range is only for staying familiar with your weapon and muscle memory on your trigger, reloads and over all feel of your firearm. I agree with you though it’s not a place to train just to stay sharp.
The video and their reaction is something to learn from. The guy filming blew his assignment. His field of fire was right, in the formation. Their spacing was too tight. Contact came left, returning fire, calling out distance location, getting to cover was first order of business. Training not to blow your assignment, possible doming your team is the first lesson. Before you can return fire you should get on line shoulder to shoulder. Besides what if was an L ambush? Was anyone covering the six and the front direction of movement? It looks like a far ambush just out of hand grenade range. So they couldn't really rush the ambush. I cant think of anything worse than being caught on a bridge. It was a bad situation.
I think this video also shows that training with your team under stress is crucial. Training by yourself doesn’t help the weak link on your team.
I like how he fired the one round after reloading. Ensures the mag is in, and the weapon is good to go.
It would be cool for mike to have a story time segment like shawn ryan. Mike's war stories must be amazing and crazy as hell
I absolutely agree!!! I’ve been looking for his war stories videos, assuming he has done them. Now that I had seen your comment I know he has not done them…yet 🤞.
From a former scout. 19D 3-73.
@@MrMattydavee not yet but I hope he sees this and shares some
He's communicating, He's shooting and He's moving! Awesome learning experience for me...personally Thanks Mike G.
Nice analysis Mike. Would be interested in your reaction to this: ua-cam.com/video/01v0sUra-yg/v-deo.html as it shows a British operator (possibly UKSF, possibly a pathfinder with the paras) working with US marines.
I wondered if you have any experience of working with UKSF yourself or knowledge of them, and if there are any noticable differences to their and US TTPs (I imagine any differences would be small given the amount of joint training/ops).
I’m ready for some combat reacts of the ruskies and Ukraine
That guy keeping fof when getting shot at is probably muscle response and that shit saved his brother and that's part of war some people freak and move un announced and it's fucked up but all u can do is hope u have the same response as this man
30% of subscribers are subscribed. lol.
I think a civilian can learn a lot just from watching videos of you and guys like you online. Y’all have a plethora of knowledge and thanks for sharing it with a nobody like myself. I watch you, Shawn Ryan, WPS and a few others that I’ve already learned quite a few tactics from and I’ve tried to incorporate certain things/scenarios in my training. I think a person would be better off watching you guys and getting training from someone like you than looking up the open source military stuff. Which I’ve always been better as a visual learner anyway. Just reading words on a screen isn’t gonna make it through one ear much less out the other lol
On the contrary, while I'm a visual learner myself, I find I have absolutely no trouble with written information making it fully out both ears in either direction lmao
Learning for what purpose? If you are not military or LEO.
I'm not sure what that individual's job is (body cam) but moving from man to man, issuing commands in open view regardless of incoming -- id follow them to the ends of the earth
cut from a different cloth
Awesome content Mike enjoy all your channels. Keep it up!
Love the breakdown, learned a lot from watching you break down this Soldiers tactics and decisions.
I'm a civilian with an AR, some good sights and some armor....and I'm a total noob. I don't pretend to be badass, tactical or anything. I have very little knowledge of tactics. Thanks for sharing your analysis, and also thanks for your service, your sacrifices and all the shit you endured in order to gain your knowledge. Much respect.
mike in his older videos talks about how to start training and talks about looking at where you live, and train for that 'terrain' . city, urban, rural, trees, mountains, buildings, etc.
a wordy way to say you’re disgruntled us student
@@yesyes7037 I’m neither disgruntled or a student. Just an ordinary Joe Shmoe with some guns.
you’re right school shooting jokes are stale these days
I'm prior service, now a civilian with an AR with some sights. You really don't need to train for war if you're not going to war. Just make sure you're proficient with your weapons.
Crazy how the Taliban were the anti drugs, anti pedophilia, pro morality good guys the whole time.
🤣🤣good one
Please do a Combat Reacts Video on the Ukraine War
Screaming is a thing in the last few years. I don't get it. My announcements were low and controlled. That is how your subordinates have confidence. To much reality TV, I guess.
I'm an operator myself..............on counter strike, battlefield, cod, medal of honor, doom, quake, and halo 😉
There's nothing like hearing that initiation kick off and everybody is scrambling but you.. that final breath when you hear the action begin is where you suppress your adrenaline and stay calm.. overreacting to a situation can lead up to nothing good.. I would say only put bullets down range or return fire when you see where bullets are coming from or flashes or a physical Target as a threat.. these simple training methods of breathing in the midst of action and thinking about your next move sometimes doesn't work.. you have only your adrenaline to rely upon.. remember that nothing about combat is safe.. and I didn't join the military for the money or the travel..🤙
I had a captain that was straight out of tradoc.. he was horrible at doing briefings for training exercises.. he treated soldiers like they were still in basic training.. I was his driver and he didn't listen to me.. one incident was my suggestion to him that either he drive and I walk in front of the vehicle during a field exercise in grass that was over the Humvees front window.. not only did he not take my suggestion but he wasn't wearing his chin strap or his seat belt and we drove into a impact crater pretty much burying the Humvee.. of course he climbed out of the vehicle after his head hit the dashboard and had only but himself to be upset about.. the things that go on in the military behind closed doors that nobody knows about unless the soldier writes home about it..
Enjoy your stuff but you make alot of assumptions about the situation in the video. Stating that they have the tactical advantage. Well you can't be sure of that because you're looking at a video with 80° field of view and you cant see much in it in any case. You have no idea about the situation in the surrounding area and don't know how many are engaging them. Technically we are blind to what their tactical sitiuation was until maybe we get a full battle report. This is my reasoning, deduced from playing 1000s of hours of Milsim and RTS games, I have no real world experience whatsoever so I could be very wrong
I was on a sim range and we were doing CQB. We were contacted from a room and I was covering the rear. Heard " contact " I turned around , made contact and started putting rounds down range till my Sargent stopped me. It was then I realized I almost capped my buddy in the head. Thank God it was only sim rounds but it scared me how fast I reacted before checking my arcs . Never made that mistake again. Great break down Sir thank you
Salty NCO with new-guys
Man respect to the men out there serving in every way. To live that experience is a different breed of human. Our troops are the men of this country!
What’s that black dot up by the sun? Is that the eye in the sky?
Edit aka that giant blimp we had that could see for miles lol
Mike your the. Best!! Born for podcasts!!! Craaazy situation!!!!
That was fucked up everyone was in front him. Not just the guy that crossed.
I am from Afghanistan but one thing is true every time US solders crying in the war
5:35 I heard someone say getting stung by bees
Maybe cover their battle... He is hanging it in the breeze to pound some ground
from what i saw i think these are marines the guy in the video is using a hk m27 rifle
Good stuff brother. This vid is from quite a while ago, the stuff about the bees stingin' the dudes was humorous, overall a serious pucker factor with that initial ambush, our boys got lucky, ANA guy got hit though.
Did you notice that black ⚫ on the sun it was there for a couple years on video and pictures but it's gone now. 👽
Back in the day 1980s, we only had one radio for a squad size element on foot patrol - and that was for communications to higher - therefore, "screaming" orders over the noise of combat was the only way to communicate to team members, perhaps a boot in the ass if they don't hear you. Did those guys all have radios, what time frame historically was this fight?
Is it me or did I see the pov gun man follow the dude that ran in front of his barrel to keep his barrel away from shooting him apologies i don't really type well
Agreed. I looked like he swung left just as the guy ran across his view. Instinctual.
Ranger school is such a helpful school man…..it should be mandatory (which would devalue the tab I suppose) but man it really sets you up for these situations with a clear framework for success u can use. Highlights your weaknesses as a leader, can’t say enough about that training. People even at the lowest levels need that experience
I agree.
Is it because it helps a person work better under pressure?
When I first saw this video. I knew that guy had to be in special ops
It depends for which oil company they're dying.
The pucker factor is real I’m glad he has the training to prevent that
Sitting that long without a tactical advance is an invitation to take an RPG or grenade.
Hey Mike I was in Iraq in contact like this, we had no radios, not sure about this fight, but 3 tours in Iraq never had a radio outside a truck...
It seemed like he was the only one fighting the damn war. Jesus.
Mike agree that this happens in combat, but it’s super bad tactics to start firing like this guy when you have your own guys right in front of you. No judgments here i know things aren’t perfect in an ambush , and Yes it’s important to lay down fire quickly to counter an ambush, but if you do like this guy, then chances are obviously high you’ll shoot one of your own. You Gotta get up on line first (unless you have enough dispersion or elevation to safely open fire). if you can’t get online immediately but the rest of your crew has solid base of fire just hang tight till you can shoot without endangering your own crew
Think yer right , I dont think this team is particularly well trained trained in section platoon drills , or something not quite right , perhaps it was one of their first combat engagements
Thanks
Love the 40 mikemike! Taliban don't like the boom boom!
Around the 7:00 min mark what’s that black thing in the sun
Loving the direction and contents your channel is heading. Keep up the good work sir. God bless.
Love these vids Mike. Would be cool if they were paused a bit less but thanks for making this.
Love this GLOVER🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
On what you said about the experience, I often see people say that when SF dudes are tasked to support infantry its like having a platoon with you. This dude with the cam gives me that vibe, just a one man army for the majority of that engagement.
I'm a JTAC, been in both Iraq and Afghanistan. If I wasn't on comms I was putting rounds down range waiting for Air to check on. The most important thing for me is getting the biggest weapon into the fight. Everything is about getting every conceivable tactical advantage. Close Air Support is a game changer in bad TIC(Troops in Contact). Shoot, move, communicate, and dominate your battle space. 🤘
Death on call~ Cleared Hot 🔥
Mr Mike, thank you so much for explaining these things! 🤙🏼
This was an awesome breakdown. I see a lot of guys that claim to understand a firefight and spew a lot of bullshit and incorrect stuff. This one is hands down the best. Awesome commentary with clear concise instruction and explanation. This video has forced me to subscribe.
11B1V 07-12. 2C 3/75.
Great analysis. Things to think about for everyday situations that we don't expect.
Looking forward to some Ukrainian footage forthcoming
Any thoughts on the Truckers here or in Canada? Australia's Tyrannical Govt? Food shortages ? Should be a Shtf moment soon in the USA
Worldwide
At least Americans know how defend themselves and have the means to do so.
1A - 2A🇺🇸
Dont they use hand signals anymore?
I remember watching this video a few years back and man that guy has balls of steel! It's not easy to keep your head in a situation like this and he really did.
I was just thinking that. They need to move. Not hunker down.
Woh! Exactly what I was thinking when he said that, and absolutely no judgement. I’d imagine getting shot by the enemy would absolutely ruin your day, but killing a brother would ruin you for life. I’ve heard it said that in war what drives most is the desire to make sure your buddies make it home safe.
@@ninjaw23 good for you for getting out. Proud of you.
Did this guy beat up his mother?
Like if you agree.
Love the series but I have just 1 recommendation. I really enjoy watching the combat footage but your commentary window is too big during the full screen footage. It's taking up 20% of the screen and half the box is the back of your laptop. Please consider cropping/resizing. God bless!
There's a certain box in box ratio that has to be maintained for videos like these otherwise they fall victim to copyright strike rather easily.
@@sampsonlll1825 Thank you I was not aware of that. Unfortunate, but it makes sense.
How do you end up marrying a 25 year old?
Thanks for your service Mike 🇺🇸.
One the best combat reviews ive seen. Good breakdown & analysis. Can be useful to show soldiers deploying. Especially when dude almost took a round from his buddy
What's that black thing in the sky at 10:46?
