I think I remember this one. One of the guy's mother was watching the whole thing on TV.
Does the uniforms protect against fire? Anybody knows? Maybe they should put some nomex into the mix.

I've never seen the pictures before. Good find BTR, horrible, but good.

I had a co-worker who was in the British Army. He told me that in training for riot control, they sometimes would actually use real firebombs. In riot formation there would be other troops behind the line with fire extinguishers. If you got hit with a firebomb, they would run up and put you out. He said the use of "live fire" in training really paid off during demonstrations in Northern Ireland.

I hope these soldiers were okay. These pics serve as a powerful reminder of the horrible realities of war.

just because hes burning the American flag doesn't mean hes a terrorist. most people in the middle east wouldn't condemn this form of expression. (although I won't shed any tears for this guy getting his ass burned)

Jokes apart, Molotovs are very very dangerous, if your face is touched by burning gas, you are more likely to have no more "human" face and nothing but a burnt face.

I hope everyone learns the lesson early and the easy way NOT to wear UnderArmour on ops like that, where it will burn and fuse itself with your skin.

i think it is ridiculous how people who aren't there bitch about how the coalition is killing civilians and should restrain themselves in iraq i do not deny that civilians are dying there but this shows that the coalition is restraining itself and they are paying for it i think the coalition is doing a great job woot woot woot

correct, synthetic burned on the skin causes severe damages which are very difficult to cure.
as I remember it mixes with skin while burning .....

Nomex, like on gloves or flight suits is made to protect against flash fires...not continuous exposure to flame.
