Video Canadians Under Fire

[tomahawk6]

The description says the video is of Marines under fire,but I could make out the Canadian flag on the uniform. I dont know how old the video is but its worth a look I think.

Don't all American tourists pretend to be Canadians when they are traveling abroad? ;D

Yep its easy to pass for a Canadian just learn to add "eh" at the end of every sentence. ;D

A good video to show junior leadership candidates.

1.  One soldier pops up and fires 16 rounds from his rifle in the span of a few seconds.  What was he trying to hit?  I guarantee you he didn't hit it.

2.  Soldiers running around and fighting with no PPE (noticed someone hands the guy his helmet at some point).

3.  Soldiers bunched up.

4.  An ammo cas is called.

5.  A GRIT is given.

If your from Minnesota, you will probably very easily pass for a Canadian, from the west coast anyway.

Great video, shaking a bit after I watched that.

That is a loooong contact. Stuff I ran into was nowhere near that duration. 

A bit shocked to see guys moving around with no helmets. Plus the fellow with no helmet walking around with no weapon. Was he in shock or injured?

 

[jollyjacktar]

The guns were really close by too.  Very short time of flight from shot to splash.

 

[curious george]

Huge respect for these guys.  Wow.

Definitely not Americans. These are obviously Canadians. Either that or the Marines used to recruit French speaking Quebeckers.

In either case.

Just before the first ROTO of the Van-doos, a friend of mine with no military experience asked me if the people over there would notice any difference from the PPCLI's they were relieving. I told him the locals would find the Van-doos three to four inches shorter on average and much more "religious" than the Pats.

P.s.: Van-doos don't need helmets - their brains are encased in a mother issued bone made cranium.

Awesome video though.
