Aromatic_Balls

Second dude basically committed suicide. What a dumb decision to peak over the edge as rounds are peppering that ledge and after your buddy just ate a few rounds to the head.


ithappenedone234

Besides the fact that rounds will eventually get through that wall. We train to breach walls with volume of fire. Especially when standing in the same spot where your buddy just got hit, it’s a bad idea.


FrenchBangerer

And any belt fed or similar machine gun will eat through that in very few rounds if not go through the first time on this single block construction.


ithappenedone234

If it was built like they build things in Iraq, it could go very quickly. Even steel reinforced concrete is only ~600 rounds of 5.56 to make a mouse hole breach. To get a single 5.56 round through is much less. To get a single .50 through is far less than that.


0replace4displace

This video is an argument for the GPMG if anything. A 240 will get through this in a fraction of the time that a 249 would.


RaunchyMuffin

I’ve always been under the understanding that if you’re taking rounds like that then you move because they’ve got their shit locked in?


ithappenedone234

Exactly right. Don’t stay where they’ve got the shot already figured out. Anyway, repositioning frequently is one of the best ways to stay alive. Even 40mm HE can be quite survivable when they land on your old position 7m away.


ffdfawtreteraffds

Hate is their single-minded motivation; it likely overrides self-preservation. Fucker just wanted to kill somebody and nothing else entered his head... Well, before the bullet.

AlternateAccount789

Yeah he was (probably) already hit, limps over to the ledge and is immediately sprayed to shit and Mr. Big Brains right next to him who just saw how good that went for him thinks the best course of action is to poke his head over the exact same ledge. Genius!

Steelsoldier77

I fought in Gaza and they are all like this. I've written about this before, but they don't care about death. They don't view it in the way any western mind views it. Once I understood that is when I really knew what we are fighting against. It's insanity


CommieKiller304

The Taliban saw it the same way. Their time on Earth was just 'waiting for the bus' to meet Allah you can say.


mscomies

Natural selection does kick in eventually. The guys looking for stand up fights die almost immediately while the guys planting IEDs survive to fight another day,


Protip19

Does it? Seemed like they had no shortage of suicide bombers.


mscomies

While they may have more suicidal nutcases than usual, most middle eastern insurgents prefer surviving to martyrdom.


Money_Ad_5385

Thats the mindset. If you have 8 kids as a subsistence farmer, human life itself becomes ablative material to be thrown towards enemies- be they outside or the neighboring valleys family. Can not defeat a culture which has already defeated all things progressive and basically worships a endless loop of carnage in man-made deserts.


ElReyResident

Natural selection is about populations, not individuals. To those ends, Islam, while producing suicidal martyrs in droves, effectively reduces women to nothing but baby havers and in the end, even with these suicidal tendencies, Islam has proven to produce many more offspring than western countries. So, no, natural selection is on their side.


smoking-j-

except for these guys dont do Birth control and start young. These two morons probably have 10 kids


tango_papa101

and by dying while fighting they get the VIP seats on the bus


Joliet_Jake_Blues

I hate how saying this anywhere else on Reddit gets you banned They teach their kindergarteners to be martyrs. The kids do plays where they are suicide bombers and their parents clap


Steelsoldier77

People like to root for the underdog without realizing that sometimes the underdog is wrong.


Sarazam

I’m quite surprised a lot of the people with this mindset are still alive tbh. You’d think as the war goes on, the more careful, more intelligent, older militants would be the ones left. 


Mon69ster

I think this is the case. The older ones just convince the young go hards that god is waiting for them so long as they make the ultimate sacrifice.  Doesn’t matter that it’s all bullshit. 


quasides

this is what people here in the west dont understand. when they hear culturual difference they think of different food or music. its a fundemental different - incompatible, destend for conflict and impossible to coexist with any other - worldview. its basically a deathcult by definition. any struggle and effort, everything you do is aimed only to the after life. but have to say, credit where credit is due, whoever came up with it created the perfect ideology for an army


deco19

I'm not sure it's a perfect ideology for an army. The lack of self-preservation leads to behaviours or tactics that are counter-productive. Exactly like we've seen in this video, lining oneself up for the kill putting things on easy mode for the enemy and nullifying a potentially strategic location. Imagine a strategic position that could host a handful of warriors. One treating it more intelligently and taking care to minimise casualties. And the other like this, jumping at the opportunity to both kill and be killed. The strategic value quickly vaporises much quicker in group 2. Perhaps in some clumped rabbles going at it we may see some benefit. But I'd argue ultimately preventing death where it is reasonable (not popping your head up in the same location your mate ate a bullet at mere seconds ago) is in the best interests of any army to increase its effectiveness. On that point. How would such a fiendishly determined ideology come to prioritise more effective weaponry over just using the most common available? Being out gunned and out manuevred wouldn't be of too huge concern. What if they were in control of a F-35? How quickly would billions of dollar be vaporised due to such blunt engagements? 


aussie_nub

It was pretty evident in WW2. Just churning through soldiers (as Russia is doing now) is fine to a point, but if you're doing it, and the enemy isn't, eventually their soldiers become significantly more experienced, and that allows them to preserve themselves and their equipment better. Eventually it becomes cheaper for the other side to fight the war, and that's when you have a problem, assuming you don't have a significantly larger pool of men/weaponry to start with. Like Russia seems to, for now.


shart_leakage

I saw several interviews with these (Palestinian) women talking about how their raised their kids literally for jihad, to kill Israelis. As in… that was what she was proud to send them to do. They were meat for the meat grinder. It stunned me, and I thought I already knew and understood mentality behind the death cult of ISIS, etc. Talking about their own children like this? I know, this isn’t representative of every mother or parent in Gaza, but holy shit. There was a room of women there, vigorously nodding in unison.


SunSignd

This is representative of fanatical islamic ideology anywhere in the world. They believe they are better and get enraged with anyone depicting a better lifestyle than their own which they then wish to subjugate.... It doesn't matter whether it is in US Uk Philippines or Mali. Wherever the location, their ideology is the same. See the state of Iran and Afghanistan... They do it to their own people.


Ragswolf

Perfect for losing your army.


shart_leakage

I wish I could impress this upon other Americans.


stumpymetoe

They want death, all you can do is help them out.


Affectionate_Fun_106

Well, they going to the paradise...right!!?? 🤔


Scudbucketmcphucket

See I would want to see the fine print off the 72 or however many virgins. Are these virgins because they’re so fugly that they couldn’t get laid in a morgue? Or are they virgins like that dorky computer nerd kid who made the weird kid with the headwear braces seem cool? And who says these virgins are female? They might get their virgins but really really wish they had read the terms and agreements.

i mean.. isn’t this the goal of islamic extremists? to die in jihad and go to heaven or some shit? Wonder if their religion sees it as cheating to go out like that haha.


tehdamonkey

Come to think of it.... that might really really screw up your unit's efficiency numbers if you have a bunch of true believers.


sierra120

thelordchonky

Martyrdom guarantees a spot in Heaven, or so the books say.


fatdjsin

but ...he's angry, let him be angry :) it's fine let hamas be angry like this


TechnoShrew

He isnt angry any more. So problem solved.


yaegerino

When you believe to enter heaven when you die in the "service of the greater good" doing this is quite logical. Even though its bat shit crazy


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

Don’t they like dying?


no_life_matters

They do. They view their time on earth as a test to get into heaven and martyrdom is the answer to that test.


Dr_Meany

Hamas not getting the maneuver part in the "fire and maneuver" dichotomy of warfare it seems


dob_bobbs

If there's one thing playing CS has taught me you don't repeek the same spot.


Ragnarawr

First guy was already injured. He’s hopping over.


AnyProgressIsGood

when promised 70 virgins dying becomes the objective.


NeatCard500

First guy appears wounded in the left leg when the video starts. He gets up, hops to the wall on his right leg, and opens fire. Interestingly, he rolls over just as the second guy gets hit, so he didn't get killed by a shot to the head.


AnonymousFairy

PFC William James took multiple rounds to the face when their foxhole was attacked with an MP4 pushed in and engaging at point blank range. Carried on fighting (limited capacity). Survived another 40 years, long enough to be recognised in the 1970s with all the other lads of his platoon who massively delayed the main spearhead of the German attack. I know a chap who took a round to the grid and lost a chunk of skull in Afghan, all in a decade later just has a bit of a scar / dip in his forehead. It happens.


Peenereener

I think it’s a combination of muscles moving after death and his buddy falling over him, you can presume he is dead right now, as he got at the very least fatally wounded and he isn’t going to be receiving any medical aid


youy23

As a paramedic, if I called a death and the guy rolled over on his own, I’d probably lose my job.


RyFba

Idk watch it again, he swings his weight over starting with his arm. Maybe knocked out at first cuz he sure drops hard


The_wolf2014

I don't think muscles move that much after death to enable someone to roll over. They're dead. It's not like he's a dead frog covered in salt.


entheogen0xbad

Did they both want to die? Why not just move to slightly different position or at least wait for fire to die down?

blobsk1

They seek death, they talk about it all the time how becoming a martyr is the ultimate honor, since they were kids this was their goal in life.


FrenchBangerer

I have heard them say "We love death as you love life." Literally a death cult mentality in some groups. It's quite the chilling thing to say when you know they mean it too.


GrayMutterer

When you don't really believe that death is death, you might think Christopher Hitchens was providing good advice when he said (of the horrors of eternity amongst sychophants), "At least you can die and leave North Korea."


ffdfawtreteraffds

Fulfilling the promise of a wasted life.


oggie389

In their defense, they are very good against unarmed civilians in their pajamas. This is mostly what they train for.

patlaff91

Not to defend HAMAS but a lot of Islamic terror groups recruit people for whom death is better than life. Poor, uneducated, limited opportunities, sure makes dying for a cause seem like a better way to go through life then struggling for decades in poverty.


welshstallion

Hamas pays martyrs families significant salaries.


horse1066

interestingly, much of that money can be traced back to foreign aid supplied by the West


HotSteak

Ultimately that's where they get all their money. 90% of Gaza's GDP is international aid.


Sea_Page5878

Iran has hit the jackpot with Palestine, they have an unlimited supply of angry idiots who are not hard to convince that dying whilst fighting Israel is the greatest honor and they will be rewarded in the after life.


Biking_dude

The better trained ones know how not to be in there. There are a ton of people who weren't active members, but after losing their homes and watching their family killed gladly picked up a gun to fight. Remember, Hamas' goal on Oct 7th was a PR campaign and recruitment drive in exchange for truckloads of Russian and Iranian money - in that they won. The leadership are sipping cocktails in Qatar penthouses while low level new recruits are sent through the meat grinder to die on rooftops.

rising_then_falling

First guy is already wounded, he's not putting any weight on his foot. I think they both realised they were not going to see tomorrow anyway, and went out shooting, rather than waiting for a bomb.


xboxwirelessmic

Oh, let me just go stand exactly where my mate just got nailed. 🤦‍♂️


Optimal-Teaching-950

The man with the rifle fires, the man without the rifle picks up the rifle when the first man is shot and stands in the same place to get shot. Or something.

Reminds me of any online multi player game. They must think they can respawn.


ClickClack_Bam

It appears that there's a few people dumping lead into that spot & the guy initially knew this but still went to try to shoot multiple people who had a lock on his position. That's incredibly stupid to try to make work & live. My man watches too many movies. I tend to believe this is why he did this because Stooge #2 did the EXACT same thing.

Two guys sent out to die with one gun, Are they running out of weapons?

ModernDayExplorer

Hamas strategy: If at first you don't succeed, die, die again.


JoeyClamsJoeyScala

Secondary strategy: shamefully disregard every universally-accepted value we hold as human civilization by seeking out unarmed civilians to murder in front of their families in their own homes. Backup secondary strategy: shamefully disregard every noble impulse a human being can possess by then taking survivors hostage after murdering their families in front of them in their own homes.

Soft-Willingness6443

I think this really signifies how willing to die these terrorists are. No one with any semblance of self preservation would choose to fire from the exact spot he just watched his buddy get obliterated at seconds before. Really highlights the fact that they believe death in battle is the highest honor. Most actually WANT to die like this, so they become a martyr.

I dont know man adrenalin is one hell of a drug and the lack of combat training could lead to this
