ladies and gentleman the luckiest soldier fighting tablian today

ladies n gents ionusx and his ninja core are proud to present to you footage of one lucky US soldier. this man was shot and technically hit 4 times by a heavy machine gun.. and has lived to tell the tale

one hit his helmet. one disabled the grnade launcher in his assault rifle, one broke his helmet cam and the final round hit his eye pro clean off his face

yep id say thats pretty lucky. footage shot via helmet cam in afghanistan

Saw this the other day and its some pretty harrowing stuff, especially when he starts yelling out he's hit and you keep hearing the crack of rounds landing next to him and see debris kick up.

Lucky dude for sure. Glad he is ok

Saw that the other day, still pretty phenomenal and how he kept his composure. Glad his alive But what he did was totally idiotic even if it was a suicidal attempt of cover fire.

Oh Taliban, I thought this was about Vic Tablian, The Actor. My mistake.

ITT: people acting like military geniuses and tactical experts while not really knowing the full extent of his actions. Hint: It was to draw fire away from the guys up top

I agree. It seemed like a bit of a bone move. I mean, I don't really know the full story but he seemed to be taking an insane risk for virtually no tactical payoff.

He was trying to draw fire. HE WAS MEANT TO TAKE THE FULL BRUNT OF SHOTS. He tried his best to get cover on the mountain slope but a few bullets hit him anyway

Trouble is that if he actually got injured doing that, which was more than a possibility, wouldn't he just be compromising his squad?

I'm not saying he wasn't brave or anything but that just seemed really rash.

I doubt he considered that strategy just because he had a couple of ceramic plates on his body.

My guess is that with the best intentions this guy had no idea it would be that bad when he did it.

Damn, every one of his enemies suffered a critical failure. This guy must have a luck skill of 11 on his SPECIAL stats.

Either that or he was being followed by Pariah dog.

That was pretty intense.

pretty stupid guy. Plus he wasnt actually hit. Just wasted bullets cuz he wasnt even aiming.

Why the hell did he go out in the open down a mountain slow as hell, alone?

He aint no hero, he aint worth crap.

If he wanted to draw fire away from his team, then he should of ran faster, and aimed alittle while finding good cover. Not just walk out and hope for the best.

- he was hit directly 4 times, his armor absorbed the shots...doesnt mean they still dont pack a heavy punch.

Next, he went down to draw fire from his squad who was at the top of the mountian. I'm guessing if you were there you'd be under the bed crying

Stop trying to be a troll. You're an idiot, plain and simple.

At the end of they day, he risked his life for his squad. Which, I do not doubt, i more than I can say for you.

Guys seems like a bit of an imbecile, yelling "I'm hit, I'm hit!" as people are shooting at him and making himself more of a target. Although I think anyone who joins the US miltiary right now to go die in a pointless war is a bit touched in the head.

mAArdman

It's my understanding that he was the squadron leader, and he was drawing fire from the machine gun so the troops under his direct command could safely move away. Is that incorrect?musicalmac
