Video: Company of Heroes

Filed under: Video — Tags: , , — Matt @ 12:53 PM

    This is an outstanding documentary/series about the Marine participation in Operation Phantom Fury.  I highly recommend watching it on this Memorial Day weekend, if you are looking for an uplifting pro-troops film.  Semper Fi.  –Head Jundi

Breaking Point:Company of Heroes

In November 2004, Fallujah was a safe haven for the most hardened terrorists in Iraq — terrorists who vowed to stop the march of democracy in that country. FOX’s Greg Palkot was embedded with the American warriors who led the charge to clean out the city.

They were the U.S. Marines of India Company of the Third Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. After a week of bloody urban combat, they completed their mission — but victory came at a cost. In this FOX News Special, you’ll get a look at war that is both stark and intimate. FOX News takes you to the battlefield and the home front — where the families of these Marines are American heroes, too.

This DVD also contains bonus materials – excerpts from interviews that have never been broadcast. This program is not for young children. Some of the language and images are disturbing. But the stories are as inspiring as they are real.

Bonus DVD – UN Blood Money: Kofi Annan Under Fire The UN Oil-for-Food program was supposed pay for food and medicine for the Iraqi people — but Saddam Hussein stole billions. And what he did with that money will frighten and concern most Americans.Among the stunning revelations in this FOX News investigation: A high U.N. official who got oil hand-outs from Saddam. Saddam’s secret weapons financed with U.N. blood money. And an American on the dictator’s payroll. Where does the buck stop in this scandal? The answer for a growing number of people is that it stops with United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan. Hosted by David Asman. Originally broadcast: February 13, 2005. ** With purchase, while supplies last **

Funny Stuff: The Flying Johnson Attack

Filed under: Funny Stuff,Video — Tags: , , — Matt @ 11:38 PM

     This is hilarious. This incident happened during a speech that Garry Kasparov (former Russian chess player, current politician) gave. Notice the reaction of the body guards? Now imagine if that thing was packed with some high explosive ‘Tang’? LOL. If you cannot view this from the email subscription, I highly recommend coming on to the site to watch this. –Head Jundi

After the security guard swatted it to the ground, Kasparov says, “I think we have to be thankful for the opposition’s demonstration of the level of discourse we need to anticipate. Also, apparently most of their arguments are located beneath the belt.” Someone in the audience shouts, “Finally the political power shows its face!” Kasparov quickly replies, “Well, if that’s its face…” to laughter from the audience.

Video: How Do They Make Those Rockets in Gaza?

     This was pretty interesting. Mike Tobin was able to gain access to this little known process, of how Palestinian militants are constructing rockets. This is a huge deal in Israel, and this shows just how resourceful the combatant(s) can be in their terror efforts. -Head Jundi

Tactical Thought Process: Clearing a Building

    This is a great video that shows the difficulties of doing these kind of operations. Being able to secure a house for observation purposes or setting up an ‘alamo’ house for you and your client during a catastrophic attack, will require clearing a building. For that reason, it is good to have some knowledge on how to do such a thing in a high threat environment.  And what this video presents, are the kind of obstacles in doing such a thing.   In this video, they tried to secure the roof, but it looks like they had company in the basement and did not want get in there and take prisoners.  In this case, the Marines just pulled out of the house, and blew it up because that was the safest, simplest and easiest option.  I don’t blame them either.   

     As for training for such things, the military and actual combat experience doing such a thing is a plus for the contractor. Or for you law enforcement guys, SWAT would be a good route, so you could take that into contracting. If you are a civilian, with none of that kind of background and training, your best bet is to seek civilian training. For that, I have to recommend Paul Howe’s Basic SWAT course(1 and 2) that he puts on at his school called CSAT. Do your research, and ask around, and it won’t be hard to find a good reputable school. (more…)
