By comparison: SWAT – from 1:20. With the exception of one man, watch the rest of the stack:

SWAT In Action: notice the inward target (house) focused conduct. These guys would not survive, conducting themselves lie this, in high intensity urban fighting – but that is not what they are about, right? This is low risk operations:

    Esprit de Corps?

    He is definitely the right guy to go through the door first.

  2. SWAT video: One well placed small home made directional charge or wait till they’re all in view and a well aimed controlled burst of fire at either head height or knee height and those boys are minced.

  3. 2nd SWAT video: Rolling up the front driveway and then just jumping out? What the fuck is all that about? They didn’t even need to do that. They could have just strolled up alomg the sides of the neighbouring houses for christs sake.

    All of that is designed for nothing more than to look scary and super cool. And what kind of protection do those super soldiers think they actually have when hanging off the sides? Sweet fanny all, that’s what. Again a controlled burst from that house and they’d be 2-3 men down before they even got up the drive. What a bunch of cowboy wankers. Do Americans still think they’re living in the Wild West of the 1880’s or summit?

    • This video is from 2011 when a former US Marine was killed by an Arizona TWAT team.

      First of all, these guys ride up to the house like nothing important is about to go down, they are just listening to shitty music!

      Then they bunch up on the door, breach slowly, THEN some dipshit with a pistol decides to run up to the door and empty a mag too!

  5. Sad thing is, although I put up the video to show how the tactics are not applicable, these guys will kill people. Even at the wrong address.
    Auto fire at 3 feet will kill you.

  6. I agree its a total different mindset. Swat focuses on the primary or single contained threat. In what would be a action or war zone its a completely different set of problems to overcome.

  7. A little info, in Chris Kyle’s book “American Sniper” he wrote that in Fallujah the Marines were really not trained in building clearing and he would in between pushes conduct CQB training.

    • Chris Kyle is a self admitted liar in his own book. He also lied on national TV about punching out Jesse Ventura and then got sued for defamation over it.

  9. If this is indeed the Guerena assassination, later evidence reported that his AR was still on safe when he was murdered. Also, it was about an hour and a half before EMS was allowed to actually try to render assistance. That is, after the cowardly TWATs sent a robot in to prod the body and make sure he was dead (because, you know, they just want to go home at the end of their shift—sob, sob).

    Gutless POSs can only kill soft targets en mass. I think it’s a case of SDS – small dick syndrome.
