You may have seen this but I received it again and it was so good I thought I'd keep it up for a short time.

Three Allah's And You're Out! Getting to Meet the 72 Maidens.

Take a look at the 20 seconds video, but read this first.

The cameraman is filming his friend as he praises Allah and launches
mortar shots at British troops. Little does he know that our new
mortar shell tracking technology can track the trajectory of a hostile
round and fire a retaliatory shot to precisely the spot from which the
hostile shell was fired. This only requires the hostile Mortar to
fire 2 to 3 rounds. Count the number of mortar rounds the masked
insurgent fires in the video.

See how well it works. If you listen carefully you can hear the
single round from the American artillery fired in the distance. It
comes just after the terrorist fires his third round and his fourth
round drops down the tube but that's as far as it gets. No more
"Allah Akbar’s" from THIS source!

Isn't technology wonderful?

When I was in the sand we wwould wait for that. They would lob a few at us then the 155s would return the favor

I reckon that's what ya call "pin point" accuracy.

I love to see people get what they want! To quote one of our other illustrious residents here,.."Something in my eye."

[awp101]

Something doesn't "feel" right about that being the result of counterbattery fire. It strikes me as more of a bad or "spiked" round going off when it hits the fixed pin at the bottom of the tube. Regardless, they'll get no sympathy from me...

Mama always said it was better to give than receive and if you could, give better than you got....

I think George C. Scott's line in the movie, Patton, is appropriate here.

"I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his."

And with that lets hope that all those terrorists have the opportunity.

I'd seen the video but always just assumed one of his mortars blew up; nice to know it was Uncle Sam instead. Same end result, but somehow more satisfying...

Old video, shell exploded in tube.

[smokenrust]

ain't that a shell shocker!!!

[1894c]

boom!

[El Chivo]

Old video, shell exploded in tube.

now that you mention it, I think I remember it that way from before. I also tried to make out our cannon going off but couldn't hear it. These things do get embellished.

Fun to watch regardless.
