A U.S. MRAP gunner throws a water bottle and then pulls his M9 at an Iraqi driver that is following the American vehicle too closely.

You could never know if it was a suicide bomber, good on him but even with how far he was supposed to be, way too close those things are no joke.

I've seen a lot of things used for escalation of force, but never a water bottle 😂

lol he’s in a mrap armed to the teeth and calls the guy a pussy

Pistols were used for executions while rifles were seen constantly. One had more meaning than the other and was taken more seriously

I love how retards defend a retard in a car trying to drive AROUND A STRYKER... That m249 is locked and loaded and you want to be an instigator? Dumb fucking civilians

I have seen lads in 2005 put a whole mag of 7.62 into a car that would not stay back, I was driving; the sign is on the back "STAY BACK 100 M OR YOU WILL GET SHOT", these cunts will blow themselves up and families, and have done. Water bottles are woke, bullets save lives.

3rd worlders fear the pistol more than a rifle or machine gun

Because in Iraq, some people will load a car with explosives to kill troops. This is a de-escalation method to let people know not to mess around.

all of this for some bullshit "they have weapons of mass destruction" when all it was for was stealing the gold and oil. just like venezuela.

Bro acts tough while occupying a nation we have no right to be there

Yea. Brings me back. I did this nearly everyday back in 2008. Except I had a .50 cal and we were in humvees not MRAPs. Those came in 2009, for my unit anyway.

That was the most least-lethal thing I've ever seen an American do.

... I mean , my only problem with the video is when he calls him "fucking pussy" A guy who is in his car looking for troubles with the US military ... is a lot of things, but not a "fucking pussy" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The reason he pulls out the pistol instead of pointing the 240 is that in the Middle East AKs and whatnot are common. Very common in fact. However, pistols hold a kind of a symbol as “I will actually kill your ass” because they weren't as common as rifles and /

For years the Army handed out insurance vouchers to locals if they fucked up your car in a traffic accident. The result is that retards would intentionally run into tactical vehicles and expect you to stop and give them money. I saw it often and we also pulled pistols

That isn’t Iraq… be better.

Why didn't he just point the big one

People ridiculing the guy in the turret have never been there or seen a car bomb go off. You keep the ass clowns as far away as possible and no, contrary to popular belief, it isn't a "shoot first" kinda place. Laughing lead as a first response will get you thrown in jail or out.

That isn't Iraq.

This isn’t in Iraq it’s Afghanistan, Anyway, I guess they forgot the Humvee there and ran like cowards, leaving behind tons of weapons☠️

Americans are natural born killers/murderers

Ahhh memories

Pussy ass soldiers terrorizing civilians lol

I cut them slack for that. The bottle was to get his attention. From where he was, he had no other way. The gun was to make it clear he needed to back off. There were a lot of attacks on the US troops there that began with a car getting too close.

American enlisted personal are poor people with terrible education so im not suprised. Also mrap gunner? Probably some dumb private, or corporal who thinks his balls are big. You're in traffic.

Imagine USA invaded by foreign military treated the citizens like this

"Be polite. Be professional. And have a plan to kill everyone in front of you".

Imagine your country being occupied by a foreign military and some jacked up 22 year old points a gun at you and yells in a foreign language because he didn’t like your driving.

Winning Hearts & Minds worldwide.

I did one better — i kicked an Iraqi's pickup truck straight in the grill while pointing my M4 at his head from 5 feet away. Since his truck was in neutral, my kicked shoved his truck backwards. These idiots only understand aggression.

Could’ve easily been a bomb in that car.

Ahh the good ole day

That looks a lot like Kabul

Well we shouldn’t have been there in the first place Boomer… It was an illegal invasion based on a complete lie and I guarantee the person in this video knows that…

I mean, its his fucking country.
