Hmmm...
I didn't work around Blackwater elements, however, to my knowledge, the only folks that rolled in U.S. HMMWV's were either U.S. forces, or Iraqi forces, and the Iraqi vehicles were marked accordingly. I don't think these dudes were Blackwater, however, the black SUV's could very well have been.
The second vid was dated 2006.
That was a rough year, and so was 2007.
It's pretty easy to criticize not knowing the history of the area, or the route. It's also pretty easy to criticize if you haven't had 200LBS of home made explosive detonate on your vehicle, or the vehicle of your mates.
How many of you have been targeted by an explosively formed projectile while driving to or from work? What about a 155MM HE round? How about a VBIED?
Methinks you may have a different opinion of what you see if you were detonated on while driving to or from your job on a weekly basis. Or if you faced a teenage girl with a back-pack filled with an AP charge.
Sorry lads, but armed conflict is a very, very ugly thing.
If you haven't had to see it, be thankful.
