This is training?

| November 18, 2011

From the Washington Post activity in a Haqqani network training camp. Does anyone else think they all look like Steve Jordan in his Facebook photos?

Great training running through smoke and jumping from nearly six feet in the air. And nothing like marching out of step to build unit cohesion.

If this is training for facing US troops, it’s no wonder they hardly ever try real head-to-head combat with our guys.

Yeah, you can hardly see them, can you?

Are you sure this isn’t occuturd training?

Not sure whether the “I’matreeyoucannaseeeeeeeeeme” or the “thisisthewaywerideabike” bits are better.

Shit! We’re getting attacked by…………………..shrubbery.

OMG! Great way to end a day at TAH. Too funny–and I never even got to the attacking shrubs. Those dumb bastards are going to kill themselves. Finger on trigger? Check! Weapon in face of soldier next to you? Check! Reboks highly polished? Check! Drunken bazai yell? Check!

Hilarious, what a big bag of dicks.

You know what the most pathetic thing is?

A bunch of phony, fakes, and wanna be’s in the U.S. could probably come up with a better looking concept of “basic training.”

Incoming……..uhh,errr, shrubbery…..

(Did he say shrubbery?????)

OK, Jake – you take the eucalytus and I’ll get the euonymous….

DaveO

C’mon… John Cleese is behind this, right?

OWB: Which eucalyptus, sarge? The one in the Reboks, dammit!

I can’t get past the March of the Retardos at :53 for laughing. Man, this hurts. If they don’t shoot each other, they’re gonna kick each other to death. And that clusterfuck in the pickup is the mother of all clusterfucks. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to watch the rest.

Sort of the same as the “al-Qaeda on the jungle gym” video’s we’ve been treated to since 9/11.

A Haq in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Some moron in Fallujah thought it was a good idea to cross the Euphrates from the western bank right across from Brahma Ranch FOB on fucking beach balls. Needless to say, they failed. Looks like their ideas haven’t improved much.

Actually I wouldn’t underestimate these guys.

While there is absolutely no way they could beat US Marines in a straight up fight, do they have to? Not really.

Our politicians have all but said we are leaving. All these guys have to do is beat the Pakistanis and the Afghan Army after that. I think they are capable of that one.

The Talib Airborne and Motorcycle Corps? I will have to return to this, I also had trouble getting past the March of the Occutards at the beginning.

Are they getting their training ideas from Discovery Channel videos or Bugs Bunny cartoons?

CI Roller Dude

I heard they had a class on suicide bombing…but it didn’t last very long as all the students were blown up.

Anybody else notice that these mental midgets actually sped up the tape of their people running, probably to make them look faster than they are.

Old Trooper

The Redneck Special Forces could kick their ass!!

TopGoz

“Where are you from, maggot?”
“Ghazni, sir!”
“Ghazni? Only two things come from Ghazni; goats and infidels. Which one are you? I don’t see any horns….”

Doc Bailey

Still haven’t got that marching thing down yet. . .

If this was meant to terrify me, it did the exact opposite.

Beretverde

They surely can’t compare to the Army’s 3rd Regiment … but unfortunately, their body count is higher than the Old Guard’s.

Watching the new Iraqi army in training was funny too. Here’s a video of some doing jumping jacks:

I loved that video when it came out. Still just as funny.

Gotta also love the “cripple threat” types doing drill in tennis shoes. Look at the bright side–his seven year old kid is probably the one making them for Nike.

Monkey Bars Damnit!
