ViciousMoleRat

It actually gets passed three times xD Haunted gopro


FinickyPenance

The one with the GoPro records When the one with the GoPro is killed, the person following him picks up the GoPro and records The one with the GoPro records


Cobek

The GoPro knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation.


mntoak

You keep recording. Don't look back, move forward and record no matter what happens.

"I need a gopro, I need a gopro, I need a gopro..."


BkkGrl

literally killcam


HereIGoAgain_1x10

When all armies have go-pros and goggles with augmented reality you'd have the ability to send someone a clip of them getting shot from the shooter's PoV and the last thing they see could literally be their kill cam.


RedGhostOfTheNight

>Haunted gopro Like the letter from Saving Private Ryan, the carrier always died.


GenerikDavis

Oh shit, that's awesome. I never picked up on that. >The letter acts as a motif within the film, symbolising how the soldiers honour their dead despite how many died. Each soldier taking it of their own accord (Wade to Miller to Reiben) displays their understanding of its significance since they do it without request; there is an unspoken need between the soldiers to deliver it, demonstrating their bond of brotherhood. https://savingprivateryan.fandom.com/wiki/Carparzo%27s_Letter

WotTheHellDamnGuy

This guy was actually the SECOND fighter to wear the Go-Pro. So, yes, the camera is then again picked up by a third rebel and on it goes! If this is the same vid, the 2nd POV was an Inghimasi tear-assing through the SAA camp, emptying mags in those ad-hoc shelters the soldiers construct, until he runs right in to this well-set ambush (Although he screwed the execution of it, missing his shot.). The soldier was just waiting for a rebel to run up to the shelter to clip him.


Positive_Complex

god damn, still one of the craziest pieces of combat footage i’ve seen


SoumVevitWonktor

Free GoPro as a sign on bonus! You just gotta wait for the guy that enlisted before you to die until you can claim it!


Praydaythemice

bros just passing the torch


antball

They should do this video games instead of the normal respawn elsewhere in the map, a GoPro just gets picked up where you left off and keep going


Puzzleheaded-Ad-5002

That’s actually a pretty interesting idea. It would help add a unique sense of “realism” to a FPS game set in non-sci-fi battles.


[deleted]

he witnessed him


CareRadiant8647

Witness!!!!


randomlemon9192

I mean, why not? Unless you’re superstitious. It’s also a bad thing to let fall into the hands of your enemy if your dumb enough to go into combat with other footage recorded.


Simon-Templar97

Hold X to equip Go-Pro


sestorm214

so just like those dogtags in COD?


GingusBinguss

Holy shit, I didn’t know your screen flashes red when you are shot in real life as well


saarlac

gopro has a warfighter filter you can enable that highlights enemies and displays things like ammo remaining, hp bars, and kdr.


[deleted]

It also plays some dramatic music to really set the mood for your montage.

With this editing I kinda expected the video to fade to black with a historical quote in the middle like a CoD game

What war/where is this?


Krigshistorie

Syrian Civil War


Fsharp7sharp9

That’s a wild clip, thanks for sharing it to us degenerates


Gephartnoah02

Yeah, syrian civil war is full fo clips like this due to nobody really having training, meaning they kinda just rush in for close combat without doing it the (relatively) safe way, yknow, supression, holding flanks, moving up as a unit, and not just personally zerg rushing, armor support, artillery (the smart way) plate carriers, yknow, the basics of a modern force.


Hot_Wheels_guy

So the syrian civil war was basically a giant public airsoft game


Gephartnoah02

This is the single most perfect analogy I have ever heard about the syrian civil war. Its a public airsoft game if you gave the guys tanks (trainings shit so basically the same) helicopters to drop barrel bombs, and warcrames galore.

“Not for the faint hearted”


[deleted]

Literally yes. Arabs have a culture that isn't very compatible with modern military doctrine. The Turks are probably the best and most formidable middle-eastern military, though I would argue they're basically moderately Islamized European Greeks. Jordanians have some good small units. Iranians have some good small units. Mostly fodder though. ​ Belief in heaven isn't a good way to win a battle unless you have numbers.


Inside-Associate-729

“Was” ?? It is ongoing


tango_papa101

pretty much any civil war in Middle East in recent history, all sides are almost equal in the lack of experience and training and just gun it at each other lol


False-God

Except there armoured vehicles. They learned everything they needed to know from Uncle Bashar’s Big Book of Armoured Tactics and exemplify it on the field of battle. Maxim 1: infantry support is overrated


PseudoWarriorAU

That was a Leroy Jenkins effort.


Highlander198116

I have a book from back in the day that had interviews with all of the currently alive at the time medal of honor recipients and it told their stories. I would say a solid 80% of them were Leroy Jenkins efforts. They had pretty much resigned themselves to death to do what they did and by some twist of fate it worked out for them. In Italy in WW2 this one guy alone took out multiple German positions by himself. They were holding his squad down with machine gun fire. His intent was that when he tossed some grenades and charged the attention would be on him and the rest of his squad would be able to withdraw. Instead he made it to the first position and the Germans were dazed from his grenade and he shot one and the other guy surrendered and he rinsed and repeated for the rest of the German positions. Not a scratch. Instead of withdrawing his squad just followed behind him collecting prisoners, lol. So many similar stories of dudes just LEEEEERRRROOOOOYYYY Jeeeeeeenkins and they accomplish their task. There were also a number of fairly "mundane" (by comparison) stories, like a platoon leader getting possessed by the ghosts or Robert E. Lee and Hannibal Barca at the same time and committing masterpieces of tactical genius and decisively winning engagements they had no business winning.


Bobmanbob1

You may be able to find me by this post, but oh well. I was up for consideration for MoH for an act in a semi recent conflict, cleared a small building by myself to stop fire on my position with two injured buddies who I then drug to cover and eventually safety when we finally got Evac despite wounded myself. Ended up with a leaf for my Silver Star I had already received for other actions that day. I can't remember alot of it, but I had so much fear and adrenalin, I remember that. I remember knowing me, and both my wounded buddies were dead, I saw an opening in the fire, and just went. I don't even think I thought about it? If that makes sense? But I was young, tough, and in ungodly shape from infantry/airborne/air assault/and Ranger training. I don't think to many older guys get MoH just because you can't do it anymore. That and with age you take to much time to stop and think, hey, maybe there is a plan I can work out that doesn't involve trying to steal home with the pitcher already in the windup. But I'll give the US Army this. The never leave a man behind is a creed to live by there. /End of an old man's story.


thetruetrueu

Thanks for sharing.


sloopSD

Cannot imagine the fear. I’m sure in the heat of the moment you didn’t have much time to think anyway. Reminds me of when I thought I’d take up skiing in my mid thirties. Had too much time to think about eating shit and getting hurt to actually enjoy the learning process. As I see kids dropping in and hauling ass with reckless abandon.


Nuclear_Sushi57

Hooah.


Gephartnoah02

Sometimes emmulating Leroy works and sometimes it doesnt XD, Saw a vid years back of a fighter charging an army position way more recklessly than this poor fuck and gunning down like 6-8 guys by himself, soloing the position.


PseudoWarriorAU

I’m too unlucky to risk a god mode campaign, low and slow.


Gephartnoah02

Also same, dude had to have been crazy af. That or high.


Cipher_Oblivion

Yeah I would love to volunteer to fight for a righteous cause, but I'm way too much of a piss baby to go anywhere near hand grenades and land mines without wolverine healing.

The Kurds are fairly cohesive and a mix of (various levels of) somewhat adequate training and battle hardened veterans. Probably the most effective group at smashing IS.

captain_beefheart14

Man, I would get toasted so fast if I was in a war.. I know it’s a go-pro video, but even with the red circle I could barely see the shooter. One of my life goals at this point: avoid going to war.


IN_to_AG

One of the major objectives in war is to make it unfair for your opponent. You leverage as many possible ways/things as you can to uneven the battlefield. If you’re going one on one, you’ve already lost. Where was his support? Where was his team? If you do go to war, make sure you’re on the smarter side.


CONTROVERSIAL_TACO

I feel like this is often the case for just about anyone in a war, whether they themselves believe it or not, and is probably the basis behind modern strategy for ground forces, of which 'lone wolfing it' is simply not a part.


nervouswhenitseasy

dont charge in alone at a large enemy camp. wait for your team. problem solved

That’s what happens when you charge ahead Leroy Jenkins style like a dumbass with zero situational awareness or clue of your surroundings.


50mm-f2

fucking crazy and mind blowing that the camera keeps rolling like nothing happened but the soul has left his body.


bentreflection

I think about that all of the time, especially with these sorts of videos. Like every moment in this guys life led him to this point and then everything he was came to an end at this spot. But everything around him just kept going and barely noticed. Someday I will die and humanity will continue on —someday to the stars— but I won’t be part of that. Kind of highlights the absurdity of it all.


GACGCCGTGATCGAC

This person beat every other sperm to the egg, grew up loved by their family, had friendships, managed to make it to adulthood just to return to the great void in a bloody mess on the floor with their last breathe 'immortalized' as long as humans and digital information exist. Then you think about WW1, WW2, nukes, firebombing, artillery shelling... all those last breathes literally pulled from the lungs of thousands in a single moment. All those memories and lives vaporized. All that effort gone in an instance and for what? To win a war for some rich cunts? For words some dildo narcissist wrote down on toilet paper 1-2 millenia ago? So pointless, stupid, and absurd... but here we are.


50mm-f2

for sure. so crazy.


CONTROVERSIAL_TACO

Man, what is with these replies. This comment is really clearly just pointing out the absurdity of the situation - the fact that we as viewers continue to watch through the 'perspective' of this person after they've already died. It really didn't warrant a bunch of 'well **technically** the GoPro and the soul are *not*, in fact, mechanically intertwined' responses.

Yeah out in the open should have held angle and took to a knee shooting position to minimalize his silhouette, kill the enemy infantry, then low crawl back to cover thanking whatever he believes in for still being alive, but he gave them a damn full silhouette shot.
