Notice how far away from the mortar the others were standing? :)

It was. Kinda funny too. Alah BOOM...

A couple of years ago, there was one of these war porn movies going
around from the insurgents perspective inside what I assume was a van
type vehicle - Army trooper walking around the front of a Bradley, bad
guys pop off a couple of rounds, trooper goes down, then gets back up,
runs back around the Bradley, then up pops the top gunner, spun the
..50 cal around.

The funny part was they were all saying Allah Akbar when the sniper
popped the trooper then all of a sudden you heard Allah...oh ****...(
or the equivilent) in Arabic when the .50 spun around.

Two bangs later the screen goes blank.

Allah Fubar.

If you watch the timing of the projectile drop, it looks like the explosion
is actually from the round dropped into the mortar tube.

That's what I was thinking...that a round being dropped down the tube
exploded. There's nothing I saw in that video to indicate it was an
incoming round.

Mortar rounds aren't armed until they leave the tube. The center of the
explosion appears to take place just behind the position of the man firing
the mortar. Here's an article that describes the activity.

Jeff faw faw..... Dun Ham.... That is some of the best comedy I
have seen in years..Last year we got the CD's for The Mouse. Her oldes
sister, ultra liberal was laughing so hard and feeling guilty all at
the same time. You see, it's ok to stereotype conservatives, but not
killers and dictators
