Not wearing your helmet increases your combat effectiveness by up to 80%..another %20 with shades on...But a direct hit to the head without your helmet?.. will reduce your combat effectiveness to -100% ...

It absolutely will help. If it gets a direct hit then your right. But if it hits at an angle, which happens often then it could very well save his life. I would expect someone in 10th mountain to know better and go in to the fight with full gear.

usually when it hits at an angle, it wouldnt have even hit him in the head in the first place, and gives him a concussion that he wouldn't have had before. Doesn't even matter, helmet is for shrapnel and shit anyway.

for all of those that are concerned with him using time to set up a camera... getting into these engagments is a part of life, im not saying its everyday but its something that you get adapted to being in, taking a couple seconds to set up his camera to record something he can keep with him for life is important. Once you are no longer in the shit (as I am) those little clips helps you hold onto what you where once involved in.

That was my favorite weapon system next to the m4 I carried. You can hit targets a long way by adjusting to the tracer rounds every 3rd one. That thing was more fun to shoot then a 249 the 25 mm on the Bradley or a m2 .50. Thing was just fun to shoot. Miss it a lot.

If I'm not mistaken, i believe this soldier in the video is 10th Mountain Division. The patch with the two clashing swords on his left shoulder is the 10th Mountain Div. patch.
I served in Iraq. Never would I think of trying to set up my camera during the middle of a fire fight and try to be sure to get the best shot of myself. On top of that this soldier is using one hand on the 240 looking like Arnold but smaller. Stability on the 240 is part of shooting fundamentals. No offense to this video but come on now, worry about the enemy and not making sure your in the video. Perhaps it would have been better had you set the camera on the sandbags looking outward? Or is that just me?

Good work Boys. I'm a fire-fighter / paramedic (since 1991) so as a civilian I can say I have been around the block. I have nothing but the utmost of respect for the armed forces of the coalition. I'm an Aussie, and whilst on a sabbatical to the US, I was privileged to run with New York FD, just months before Sept 11. Many of the Fire-fighters I worked with died, so I despise anyone who have such a short memory of how it all started. ...and yes, how about the domestic strife going on in US, Australia, England etc. Don't let lame arses disrespect you you. If these bastards don't die in the Ghan, then they will likely illegally enter our countries and blow up shopping malls etc. Keep them at bay fellas. Good job and stay safe...and by the looks of this vid...tell your mates to keep their heads down
