Video: Islamic State Fighter’s Headcam Films His Own Death During Battle
Some pretty amazing footage obtained by VICE News. Note: He gets shot at the 5:32 mark. Not exactly a razor sharp force.
Quote:VICE News has obtained footage taken from the headcam of an Islamic State (IS) fighter who died in March while battling Kurdish peshmerga troops in northern Iraq. The clash took place about 30 miles north of Mosul.
Unlike IS propaganda, which often presents sweeping battlefield victories, the video shows chaos, panic, and the fighters retreating.

I've seen a few of these.
The clips further prove that applying rational, westernized thought doesn't apply to these guys and their love of martyrdom. These videos of ISIS dudes getting offed - during a clearly disorganized and haphazard operation, no less - are used as recruitment tools.

It shows why Obama called them JV. They pretty much are a fcking joke. That does not though make them less dangerous. It would take very little to destroy them with a well trained and supplied force.

For a minute I thought this was a joke.
Destroy them and somebody else steps in to take their place. There' s no winning a war as long as somebody is willing to fight it. We Americans used to be what would today be called terrorists, and my great-great-great grandfathers on both sides were rebels, insurgents, fighting against a government they thought trespassed on their freedoms.
Cops take meth dealers off street in my community every day and you'd think we'd run out of meth dealers by now, but new ones keep popping up and getting arrested too.
Same with these guys. They may not impress you, but they're willing to die for a cause. They've got motive, reason and access to weaponry. It's hard to beat that. The British couldn't.

It is racist to arrest meth dealers. That is why they are getting released to sell more meth.
