I originally thought that he was panicking but then noticed the micro sight mounted on top of his large telescopic/night sight. So perhaps he was getting rounds on target as soon as possible first with the micro sight then switched to the telescopic/night sight.

Keyboard warriors on here slagging off the RLC. How long do you think the Infantry can stay on the front line without food, water and ammo......the answer is not very long. During the Second World War drivers of ammo trucks of the RSC (the predessor unit of the current RLC) had some of the highest casuality rates as quite understandable enemy aircraft targetted supply lines to the front line.

It's great to always see these rear echelon units go on about they are the HEARTBEAT of the army, and that without them the army would never be able to goto war! Yes these units do a important job, but the INFANTRY went to war long before these other units were ever thought of. Every unit in the army, or any other branch of the military. Are there to help the INFANTRY do the fighting. No matter how good or how big and expensive your equipment or even your plane or ship is. You cannot win the battle until the infantry soldier pick's up his weapon and fights his way up the hill. These guy's are Amazon in uniform, chefs are cooks in uniform, driver's are truckers in uniform etc etc. But infantry are SOLDIERS!

[@dantuicakau214]

Everyone is a soldier first and your trade comes second. Isn't that what we're taught during basic?

[@bwkid1]

@@dantuicakau214 You are obviously NOT from an infantry unit. As that is a comment that NONE combat troops love to come out with. There is a massive difference from just being in the Army, and being a Soldier. You my friend were just in the Army!

[@paganphil100]

bwkid1 : Don't forget though, the infantry needs support too (from artillery, armoured units and aircraft). Its always a "joint effort" in a major war.

[@bwkid1]

@@paganphil100 No one is saying the infantry don't get or need support. But that is my point EVERY unit in the force's are there to support the infantry. No matter what happens in a war, you haven't won until the infantry take the position. All other units specialise in their job. The infantry are the ones who specialise in soldiering. Some joins the army to be a cook, so they are a cook. Some joined to be an engineer, so they are an engineer. Some joined to be a driver, so they are a driver. But the infantry joined to be soldier's, so hey are the one's who are soldier's. We don't mouth about being nurses, because we have done a medic course. We don't mouth about being a signaler, because we have done a coms course. But everyone in the army mouth's about being a soldier, because they do a couple of weeks combat training in a year. To be a SOLDIER you need to live as a soldier every day. It takes 21+ weeks basic infantry training to be able to join a unit. Then you are classed as a raw recruit for MINIMUM 3 year's. And that's doing real infantry training EVERY day. We don't do your jobs, so please don't mouth about doing ours.

[@xylemrays671]
