The absolute mind numbing PANIC that ensues whenever a VBIED is coming in your general direction...man, I wouldn't ever want to be in that situation. My heart started thumping when he said "HE'S COMING!"

A respectful salute to those who stood their ground and engaged them during the ISIS wars.

I hate to say but it reminds me so much of when Dennis shoots Charlie in season 1 of Always Sunny

For those interested in more Iraq content, both current and archival, u/0001_10_22 is a fantastic primary source. This video is one of his.

Typically police forces are supposed to be easily identifiable, and this was the approach the Iraqis went with

It “looks cool”

Arab policies love this kind of snazzy looking COD uniform

Its just there police uniforms.

Im pretty sure a few arab states go with the blue camp for police.

Only serves the purpose of identifying who they are or if they need to hide in a pool.

Guys are very lucky that the person taking this seriously was manning the M40.
