#1 Why are they so eager to show this video? It doesn't look like they hit anything.

#3 I think we did this in Boy Scouts once. Are we sure this video wasn't shot at Philmont?

#7 I expected either an A-10, F-16, or Apache appearance any time after the second shot. Makes me wonder if this "film" isn't just some very carefully spliced-together propaganda.

#8 Philmont may have changed a hell of a lot in the last twenty years, but when I was there, they would have had screaming fits if a troop started setting off incendiary devices in the dry brush like that.

#9 That's quite a casual stroll away for being within rocket range of an "American base". It's almost like...they're not anywhere near an "American base".

#10 Piss poor propaganda. They look like a bunch of idiots. Who would want to join them? Oh, that's right. Idiots.

#11 As Sahab (the clouds) is 'celebrating' their 5th year of production.

#12 Two shots then I would expect counter fire from the "American Base" or while they were trudging down the mountain the would get a visit from the skies.

#13 This explains why they have to strap the explosives to their bodies and walk them to the target.

#14 Crap, Any sh*t-faced drunk fourth-of-july-celebrating trailer bum can shoot better than that.

#15 Notice how the camera never follows the rocket? It starts to move and we see trees and bushes and then cuts away to show explosions. At least two of tose appear to be one and the same.

#16 At the 0:30 mark I think I make out the USS Flagg near what looks like snowpack.
