Inside an Israeli Soldier's Room-Clearing Tactics

A number of people asked me to analyze this video. I initially resisted because I didn’t think there was much to analyze. After inspecting the video, I think that there are three key takeaways.

NOTE:

I was wrong about an IED. A grenade comes through the doorway at 00":25:07. I missed that. My bad.

#1. Never go out alone.

#2. Pick the least bad of an option.

#3. Inaction kills.

Just because you’ve been shot doesn’t mean you are going to die. But the second you give up the will to live, you are done.
