agree with you.  and in the spirit of happy happy joy joy, no offence, but that 2nd vid was rubbish.

Can someone type out the url of the second vid, I can't get it right.

They were originally bought to test for the Stryker programme, 50! of them , they were turned down for that, then the story was the AF wanted them for airbase security, so they were shipped off to an airbase, and low and behold they turn up 20 vehicles short, next time anyone sees them, they are being driven by guys with beards and long haircuts....they "borrowed" them...permenently.

sorry my mistake, not the stryker programme, some sort of ground mobility deal, but same difference anyway.

D'oh! 

I was all ready to groove with the SEALs but in fact I have to say, the CAG operators looked better.  More toys with the SEALs maybe - dune buggies were cooler than the CAG ATVs; they had machine guns, grenade launchers and such - but the SF group looked like they were doing actual work; they look like they get the call, whereas the SEAL stuff all looked like training.  Kinda like the USA and France when selling weapons - the US has a track record.

Also, in terms of "looking better," I mean specifically: 

a)  The whaddyacallit (I am not a troop) stack for room clearing:  worked much better in the CAG video, although it was interesting to see the "behind-the scenes" look of the SEAL video.  Was also impressed with the portrayal of live friendlies in the room clearing by CAG.

b)  and this goes to the sound (yes, Yimmy, no doubt we should be using Coldplay or the Verve; I agree that older is better generically and that "House of the Rising Sun" would have done nicely, not to mention "Light my Fire" or "Are You Experienced," but oh well. 

I digress: my point was that the CAG video sound seemed not to overwhelm the shooting, whereas I could hardly tell when the SEALs were shooting or not.  In particular I was impressed with the silky smooth pistol work; one sees such craziness in films, but now I feel I know the maximum possible speed for a human being to fire and hit (every time no doubt) with a pistol.

c)  I liked the covert aspects (look at me, Ma, I'm wearing a sheet!) and in general the separateness of what they do.  They look like a special force - from the two I would say this looks much more like "The Unit."  The SEALs look much more like guys with guns, almost just like infantry really.

I do not think the SEAL video flattered them at all.  Again, neither music was acceptable on its own merits, but in the CAG video it at least did not detract from the film's impact.

Meanwhile, I assure you, if any of those gentlemen were to ask me for my wallet, I would give it to them.

There's another video out there, youtube has it I think, that show a CAG rescue op for 2  abducted trucking contractors...it was a helmet cam video, so how ever it got out it was bad..

Well, now that it's out, pop us a linky?  or proper search terms?  or will "CAG rescue trucking contractors helmet cam" do it?  Presumably the bad guys already have it if they want it, you would be doing no harm.
