Sounds like they are getting shelled. Hiding and praying is all you can do.

Its a good video, its very very true, and the lesson it teaches is exactly why China would lose any war.
All the training in the world pales in comparison to the actual stress and terror of combat.
As hellish of a lesson as it is, we have an army of combat vets.
China has a zerg of noobs playing in the sand and snow.

Where's the close combat part of the OP? Just looks like troops taking cover from shelling.

And they obviously survived.

I wonder where the video is from the other side?

That's true. Bstulic has most likely seen or been close to some battles over the last 20 years.
That would make them combat vets.
That would mean that both the US AND/OR Croatia could kick China's ass in close combat.

Bstoole was just excited about Da twat showing up for awhile. He was hoping to have someone help him hate the US.
Well, for someone's help that didn't take so many 7 day vacations.

Considering he lived through 3 years of it he has the right to ridicule three trained soldiers for pissing their pants in what might be their first and only combat experience before they're back to sitting on lawnchairs sipping coke and watching bombers do their work for them.

You mean, where's the video of 105mm artillery counter-battery fire? Probably looked a lot like this:

Honestly it's kind of like Skydiving for the first time.
Everyone reacts differently the first time the step out of the plane/lets go.

You have archers - that immediately properly arch.
You have swimmers - people that immediately start acting like they are trying to swim.
You have flailers - people that just flail around for awhile.
You have black outters - people that just black out for a bit and their body is a random assortment of blah.


Training only gets you so prepared...

I recall being out in Croatia in the winter time. iirc We were based near the Festung Brod when a nice cold snap hit and we had a nice night of old AP mines detonating in the general area. Mostly we just stayed on hardscapes and kept low profiles. Loud explosions are pretty freaky, and taking cover just makes sense.
