It is a sad reality that the US military is a bureaucracy and as such is enamored with "The Book". This obsession is so great that a running joke among the NATO allies is that, at a command level, the American military is inflexible and iron bound by doctrine. Those in charge would rather see their men die following "The Book" than survive and even possibly win doing something outside of it's holy rules. Naturally if someone does break a rule and expose their incompetence that individual is crushed ruthlessly by the bureaucracy, lest their actions inspire others.

@@Tank50us As much as people criticize the top brass, and they DO have a lot to criticize them for to be fair, a lot of these regulations are in place because the goals on a military level and the goals of an individual level do not always align, such as in that situation. You are risking a LOT of lives to possibly save one. On a human level that's wonderful, but on a strategic level it makes no sense, it's not worth possibly losing 10+ lives and a millions of dollars of materiel to POSSIBLY save an individual. In a case like that I have no problem with what the soldiers chose to do and I have no problem with them getting a reprimand (as long as it isn't TOO harsh). Autonomy and willingness to disobey regulation is a very careful balancing act in a military, where on some level it is highly beneficial (Just look at Russia's failures on the battlefield because of it's utter lack of agency among lower level officers) but too much of it threatens to destroy the discipline and command structure.

Similarly a soldier of 32 Bn in the Angolan war was struck in his chest by an RPG warhead while he was in the prone position. It entered from his collarbone area. He miraculously survived. He's interviewed in the Grensoorlog/Bush War DVD documentary series.

Epic viedo

Many of the mines in the creekbed had slid down into the creekbed during rain over the years. So there were mines on top of mines there. Which made the clearing work near impossible. Usually mines are near the suface and at a horizontal line. But these were at all angles and at different depths.

I just want to say thanks to all the medevac crews (all NATO members) out there. When we called, you hauled. I got a first class ride for something stupid, and yet got the best treatment i could ever dream of. So thank you.

During the first story, I was wondering if they could simply _"Dangle"_ the stretcher from the 🚁, carrying the guy with an RPG in his Leg, without endangering the 🚁. Then, the very thing I didn't know existed, was the solution to the _second_ story as well.

So do the animators animate the wounds and are they later censored or do they imediatly do the censoring and make as much wounds as possible so they don't have to draw too much?

@BeanManolo

I remember seeing the second story uncensored when they first posted it as its own standalone video; Not sure about their newest videos, but I think they are simply adding the censorship now over the drawn wounds to comply with KZread's demands (they had to reupload a censored version of their Malayan Emergency video due to that)

There needs to be an episode on Albert Severin Roche, First Soldier of France. He is too awesome to languish in dry history.

My first deployment we were in COMKAF qrf snd some refer truck trying to come on the fob had an rpg warhead sticking in the side of his truck. My man got ambushed and didn't even notice. Fucking legend.

maybe not absurd but a funny rpg story of mine from afghan was when i was there working in humint. was on a small base and had 3 locals come in seeking medical assistance with minor injuries. they were working on the road as part of a local construction team when they claimed they were attacked. after questioning them i came to find out that what actually happened was they were messing with an rpg and shot it straight up in the air. when the rpg came back down it blew them up. lucky for them it landed far enough away to only give them minor injuries 🤣🤣

Hey Simple History, Can you do an episode of the ‘Giant of Kandahar’?

I heard a similar story that happened in IDF. A guard in a weapons bunker was playing with LAW launcher he found. He primed it, by extending the tube, but couldn't fold it back. This genios got scared that he'll be caught so he grabbed it with the force of both his hands, resting the missile on his stomake. That's when the missile fired, but didn't explode. So the medical staff and ordinance experts had to work on him inside a bunker full of explosives. I don't remember if he survived or not.

This is what happens when you try to mess with the people that don't wanna mix their culture with yours and that don't want you to rule over their county .

That reminds me of an episode of MASH where Hawkeye and Colonel Blake removed a live grenade from a patient

I remember seeing years ago in a documentary about Vietnam they showed an x-ray of an American soldier with a mortar round buried in his chest that went in through his shoulder. They were able to remove it and the lucky bugger survived.

The Korean war is the "forgotten" war? Just you wait. 😂

The balls and heroism of that helicopter crew and medical/EOD staff is truly inspiring.

The one thing that sprang to my mind during all of this chaos and risky situations was peoples ability to remain calm. I'd imagine the scene with several people running around the helicopter and loosing their composure for a split second and end up running into the tail rotor of said helicopter. Thankfully as far as I'm aware we do have soldiers that keep their cool and don't make these mistakes. But it could very easily happen if someone lost their cool.

Marines don’t leave a soldier behind, even if they have an rpg in their leg🤘 that’s some brass b.lls.

The most absurd thing about the afghan war is that it even happened.

These thumbnails keep getting better

the british were more worried about having tea for the afternoon lunch than mine detectors hahaha

so sad they left the whole country to taliban...

The way the warheads work is you need a really hard surface so the front of the RPG can be pressured into itself to denote sending an explosive charge forward. The human body is pretty squishy so it's not unheard of a rocket simply not working, simply penetrate from the sheer propellant alone.

The RPG is almost as legendary as the AK-47, an iconic insurgency weapon, it's so paradoxical how much love is so ever present is in war

Nice

21 years for nothing?

the only absurd story about the Afghanistan war is how 53 nations of which 3 are considered superpower nations failed to beat a bunch of faithful tribesmen in the span of 21 years 🙏🏻

Are those the same tribesmen that ran away and hid in Pakistan and Iraq just to spend their time shagging sheep and boys ( there is PLENTY footage of the "faithful" cheating on their cousin's with Farm animals) there is even videos of your faithful tribesmen making bestiality a social thing. You see in order to WIN a battle or war you have to actually fight in it . What you and your ilk are doing is the equivalent of a man being slapped a couple of times by a bully then running home to their boyfriend and waiting til the bully moved away and then running out shouting " i won the war , did you see him run 😂 i sure showed him didn't i " ... its kinda pathetic ...

Oh they won. They just weren't willing to actually conquer the place so they let it stagnate without clear direction for years.
