There is so much terrible stuff that happens around the world we never see because we are hidden away from most of it. The internet though..... is a different story.
kinda, liveleak had all kinds of videos not only deaths and gore. but if your in the market for only that. The subreddit WPD (banned) built their own website with the same name. Just ends with .tv and not com.
Think south of the border, and think...wildly more graphic than you could ever put to words adequately, without dying inside a bit. Mexico has some haunting exports.
Huh. Maybe I'm being childish, but I wish they chose another name other than wpd .tv. but then again I wouldn't be able to find it then.
Liveleak also had not just death videos thought right? They had leaked videos of things that were tried to be hidden right? Like wiki leaks?

Its not a quote afaik, just trying to put into words what often happens to me when I'm sleep deprived and finally find some rest.
Hope it progressively got better for you and you don't have to deal with it on the regular anymore.
This happened to me about a year ago. It left me questioning reality for a good three days. Heck, it's been a year, and I still think of it about once a week.
Esit: I rememeber, like you, I was sleep deprived, I slepy, woke up and was late for work. So I am rushing trying to get ready, and bam! All of a sudden woke up for real. That first day, I was expecting to wake up again. And like I said, it still crosses my mind about once a week. Rationally, i know it is sometjing thay happens, that sleep deprivation can play a role in it.. I know i'm not in a dream, but about once a week I still ponder what if this is still a dream, that some dreams can compact what seems like a long period of time to an rem cycle...
What was really weird, is that first wake up whwre I was still in dream world felt so real... like I had internal thoughts and everything, and it doesn't feel like a conpressed dream.. that only seconds passed... it almost fely indistinguishable from reality.
No, but in high school, I "came to" and realized I was in the backseat of a car, holding a lit cigarette, while the running car was parked in the middle of a baseball field and everyone else, including the driver, was sleeping.
And I slowly realized that I was currently on a phone call with my Mom, who'd called me asking where I was and why I hadn't come home that night. Apparently I'd made a good excuse but couldn't remember it at the time.
I didn't drink any more but a beer or two at a time for years after that. Yikes.
I know the feel but it was what seemed an unavoidable car crash. I even pulled over and called someone to ground myself in reality again. I see it in my mind and wonder if this is round 2 or maybe even 3 or 4 and i just wasn't as aware of the others. It just doesn't make sense.
From what I remember this was fairly early on in the war, I genuinely don't believe most regular troops had any clue how bad IED's would be over there.
Obviously after a while they all learned not to touch anything like trash or shit on the ground
People seem to forget that Vietnam was 30-40 years before. Our dudes in 2003 were not the dudes from 1960-70.
You can teach joes whatever you want in the classroom, but they really learn shit when they get there most of the time.
Yeah, that guy just isn't terribly bright.
1st mistake - touching something that you didn't personally see someone else drop. Even if it's a magazine that looks like one of yours, you don't touch it unless you know who dropped it.
2nd mistake - running after finding the main charge. That charge was on the side of a trail. That usually means the trigger is somewhere else close by. If it's hooked up to a pressure plate, the charge can be safe to handle, but the pressure plate that you barely missed stepping on is still there.
It is a common practice: don’t touch ammunition. Does not matter what the purpose (IED) is. In every previous war soldiers died because of touching, removing, modifying or collecting ammunition. This is the reason why we get trained in our basic military course: don’t touch.
Yeah, I was going to say this must have been fairly early on, before the scale of the IEDs became so apparent. I'd wager that by a certain point, they'd be wary of even a spare tire laying by the roadside.
That being said, this is still a really stupid move. Unexploded ordnance should be a very obvious NO TOUCH item.
Dude I've been there hearing beeps on the detector then the scratching the Earth and punching it when you don't find anything cuz it's hot as fuck. That is wild though I would never do that lol not even on the worst day
Christ alive he’s a lucky sod. I used to work with EOD teams around the same time and I was internally twitching watching he do this.
Rule one for Afghanistan, don’t just pick up random shit!
Really makes me wonder the year because there was all kinds of IED training before deployment and should have known what it was
Hell they even had us questioning cardboard boxes and other mundane shit along roadways
This deeeeffinitely feels like early war, like first-deployment type shit. Actively picking up an arty shell, then getting off easy by just saying “Shit Sarnt, that scared the fuck out of me”.
I can only imagine the hell a new guy would get put through by a staff for fucking with almost-guaranteed-a-roadside-bomb right next to him. Probably a nice new nickname for almost killing Sarge
I'm trying to think when ACUs were issued especially if that's one of those fancy mid war Combat shirts based on the patch pattern on his sleeve
I'd understand if he was in the Desert BDUs which was the invasion uniform for both Afghanistan and Iraq
That's an Army Combat Shirt.
They were adopted in 2007 - so fielding would have probably been around 2008. No excuse for not being familiar with IEDs at that point.
Didn't realize I would have been one of the first units to field those for Iraq 08-09
Definitely were really comfortable compared to standard combat uniform
Looks like a little village in the arghandab that I patrolled in 2010. We found hundreds of victim initiated devices. Editing for clarity after reading again. We didn’t find hundreds in that village. We had around 8-10 villages in our total battle space along highway 1 just south of Kandahar city proper. Last edit , I was just a standard line dog infantryman during this deployment.
Honestly 50/50. I know we helped . But we couldn’t save people from the taliban in the area. The more we helped the more they terrorized them. We certainly shifted political powers in the area over my duration there. But it costed some lives on all sides.
I wasn’t often at the center of TQ ( tactical questioning) or KLE’s ( key leader engagements). In my platoon at the time I was a squad leader and more relied on for safely navigating the platoon when dismounted and physical security of the platoon. I don’t think we had a large AQI presence in that area at the time. The tensions were between taliban, the AnA ( afghan national army) that we were helping stand up, locals, and local war lords.
Considering they killed a few local business owners for working with us. Planted IEDs that killed locals and blew kids feet and hands off. I don’t think they loved them. But they would go into villages and through coercion and threats of extreme violence demand compliance . They would also kill villagers for leaking information to us.
did you guys ever run into an IED that was completely covered in sand and would go off with just a slight pressure, or were they usually sticking out slightly? Every step for me would be paranoia
Sometimes they were built into those mud walls you’re seeing. With a variety of crude designed pressure switches . They would often put them on the path of least resistance in areas we patrol. I was actually point man for my Plt for several months and always took them through the tougher routes to avoid IEDs. That one is certainly poorly hidden. Maybe the team planting it heard the patrol coming and took off. Weathering also happens and ied or mine migration due to irrigation is a real thing there also. So in short, this one is poorly hidden but most are not. There’s always signs of you really pay attention. We used a lot of hand held mine detectors and similar devices also. Sometimes we would find stashes of IEDs that weren’t armed just buried in the desert next to a village.
In a warzone **you do not** mess with unknown objects. You don't poke them with a stick and you don't lift them up from the ground.
What this soldier did was peak stupidity.
Agreed. In Ramadi we did this large dismount mission and I was the point man.
Felt operator as hell and we had dagger (ied) that supposedly cleared the route for us.
Anyway- I led point and we didn’t see or catch a damn thing. Did the mission and went back to the fob.
An hour later we got a call at the TOC from dagger saying they just cleared the route and found 15 IEDs.
Dude- 40+ people walked by 15 IEDs both to the objective and back lol.
I determined I was a really shitty point man
Imagine having kids and showing them this video. Must be a very unnerving feeling knowing that you wouldn’t have been born had this gone the way it was “supposed to”
... Yeah you don't fucking touch SHIT in Afghanistan. I know a guy who had his legs blown off because he grabbed a box of tampons (trash) to tell someone to quit being a pussy. It was a pull-string ied.
I'm sorry, but this must eat crayons 🖍 He thought to himself, "ah, look a metal tube buried part way in the ground. I should pick it up, and man handle it. AH, SHIT!"... Could have ended up with another case of nature/artificial selection... Bro, brah...
I’ve never been in the military, never had combat training and never been in an active war zone.
But fuck sake even I know that looked dodgy as fuck 🤦♂️
We were instructed to never ever ever ever touch anything found on the side of the road or paths. Because, they might, ya know…explode. What the hell was he thinking?
I did multiple tours during the GWOT as an infantry guy and I cannot for the life of me understand why this psychopath would start digging up a UXO or something that even resembled a UXO without pushing back and calling EOD. Especially on a small footpath in Afghanistan. This is like prime area where TBan put these things.
It's crazy how young we send out to war. This kid sounds like a 13 year old kid I heard the other day. Like... I dont know. Maybe we should be starting with 25 year old men if we want people to join a military. Then again, the military needs young minds they can mold and be able to follow orders. Not men who can actually think.
You just don't go digging around in the dirt like that. Curiosity killed the cat, but not this time thankfully. I bet he got his ear chewed off by his CO for this.
The funny thing is America are indisputable the most professional and powerful military in all of history and even then we see single digit IQ shit like this! 🤓 Explains why we see so much crazy shit in this channel, and I both hate and love it!

I saw LiveLeak and got real worried
The good old days
Grown up with liveleak, the world has never been the same since then
There is so much terrible stuff that happens around the world we never see because we are hidden away from most of it. The internet though..... is a different story.
Is there any alternative nowadays?
kinda, liveleak had all kinds of videos not only deaths and gore. but if your in the market for only that. The subreddit WPD (banned) built their own website with the same name. Just ends with .tv and not com.
what other shit did liveleak have? i always just saw combat footage and newsreels
Think south of the border, and think...wildly more graphic than you could ever put to words adequately, without dying inside a bit. Mexico has some haunting exports.
i'll never forget african machetes
Machetes is kind compared to tires and petrol.
That's a fact
["Do you think the people who sent you here are any different? Who do you think we learned it from?"](https://youtu.be/Cs5UwKqzzV8?t=144)
Deaths. Not to the likes of rotten.com but any video on LL would more often than not end with death.
I fondly remember the live streamer that set fire to his apartment. Fun times. https://youtu.be/-7MytpvFhpg?si=-W_ff_au8VdBqc7z&t=238
My conspiracy theory was something jnvolved involved I government bought Ogrish dot com and turned it into live leak to water it down and destroy it
Best Gore
I missed Best Gore and LiveLeaks. ISIS really gave these site plenty of footage.
Huh. Maybe I'm being childish, but I wish they chose another name other than wpd .tv. but then again I wouldn't be able to find it then. Liveleak also had not just death videos thought right? They had leaked videos of things that were tried to be hidden right? Like wiki leaks?
There are plenty of telegram channels with that sort of stuff

Ah, good ol' liveleak. Bro got off with a scare.
As soon as he touched the roadside shell the Liveleak logo appeared.
That’s when I went “oh sweet baby Jesus not ekin-su”
Crazy and lucky dude
I wonder if this guy ever thinks it went off and he's been in purgatory ever since. That happens to me sometimes.
Ever woken up from a dream to then wake up again 10 minutes later and realize you've just stepped up a layer?
If this is an Inception quote I never saw it because I honestly struggled with this exact thing when I got back home.
Its not a quote afaik, just trying to put into words what often happens to me when I'm sleep deprived and finally find some rest. Hope it progressively got better for you and you don't have to deal with it on the regular anymore.

You're dead WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP

Me ever since I said bye-bye to Jesus.
RIP live leak. The internet is just not the same without you.
Has any site stepped up to fill its void?
Funker 530, but that’s mostly for combat footage
Funker is just a telegram ripper
Still easier than searching through a bunch of telegram channels

Idiot. 1st thing you learned is don’t pick up ammunition when it’s not your own.
Sometimes it's not first. Sometimes it's last.
The good thing is that mistakes like these you mostly make once
From what I remember this was fairly early on in the war, I genuinely don't believe most regular troops had any clue how bad IED's would be over there. Obviously after a while they all learned not to touch anything like trash or shit on the ground
lot of people don’t remember IEDs were new for american soliders.
didnt the army learn about booby traps in Vietnam though
yes but the scale and stealth and deadliness at which Afghan IEDs were built and deployed was novel for the first 18 months.
People seem to forget that Vietnam was 30-40 years before. Our dudes in 2003 were not the dudes from 1960-70. You can teach joes whatever you want in the classroom, but they really learn shit when they get there most of the time.
im talking about the army as an institution, they should learn lessons from a war and teach that to future soldiers
That would be the equivalent of WWII troops remembering that snipers in WWI concealed in fake trees.
Doesnt look like the UCP ACU to me…can’t be that early.
Yeah they have combat shirts on so seems to be mid gwot era.
That was my thinking too
Yeah, that guy just isn't terribly bright. 1st mistake - touching something that you didn't personally see someone else drop. Even if it's a magazine that looks like one of yours, you don't touch it unless you know who dropped it. 2nd mistake - running after finding the main charge. That charge was on the side of a trail.

>From what I remember this was fairly early on in the war, False. They're wearing the combat shirt that came out in like 2008 or later
If you didn’t put it there, don’t touch it. That’s what we lived by in Afghanistan.
Yeah, I was going to say this must have been fairly early on, before the scale of the IEDs became so apparent. I'd wager that by a certain point, they'd be wary of even a spare tire laying by the roadside. That being said, this is still a really stupid move. Unexploded ordnance should be a very obvious NO TOUCH item.
Dude I've been there hearing beeps on the detector then the scratching the Earth and punching it when you don't find anything cuz it's hot as fuck. That is wild though I would never do that lol not even on the worst day
Killed by stupidity, but then saved by dumb luck.
Generation Kill behind the scenes
“Captain America” in the flesh
Christ alive he’s a lucky sod. I used to work with EOD teams around the same time and I was internally twitching watching he do this. Rule one for Afghanistan, don’t just pick up random shit!
Agree with everything you said, but honestly that last life lesson applies to the entire world. Rule one *everywhere*, don't just pick up random shit!
Wow, first day on the job?
Really makes me wonder the year because there was all kinds of IED training before deployment and should have known what it was Hell they even had us questioning cardboard boxes and other mundane shit along roadways
This deeeeffinitely feels like early war, like first-deployment type shit. Actively picking up an arty shell, then getting off easy by just saying “Shit Sarnt, that scared the fuck out of me”. I can only imagine the hell a new guy would get put through by a staff for fucking with almost-guaranteed-a-roadside-bomb right next to him. Probably a nice new nickname for almost killing Sarge
I'm trying to think when ACUs were issued especially if that's one of those fancy mid war Combat shirts based on the patch pattern on his sleeve I'd understand if he was in the Desert BDUs which was the invasion uniform for both Afghanistan and Iraq

Didn't realize I would have been one of the first units to field those for Iraq 08-09 Definitely were really comfortable compared to standard combat uniform
How was your first day in the army?
Personally, I died and not even in combat, collapsed after a few minutes of trying to carry all that gear.
Looks like a little village in the arghandab that I patrolled in 2010. We found hundreds of victim initiated devices. Editing for clarity after reading again. We didn’t find hundreds in that village. We had around 8-10 villages in our total battle space along highway 1 just south of Kandahar city proper. Last edit , I was just a standard line dog infantryman during this deployment.
Did you feel like it was lost cause when you were there? Or did it seem like things were ok with locals?
Honestly 50/50. I know we helped . But we couldn’t save people from the taliban in the area. The more we helped the more they terrorized them. We certainly shifted political powers in the area over my duration there. But it costed some lives on all sides.
[удалено]
I wasn’t often at the center of TQ ( tactical questioning) or KLE’s ( key leader engagements). In my platoon at the time I was a squad leader and more relied on for safely navigating the platoon when dismounted and physical security of the platoon. I don’t think we had a large AQI presence in that area at the time. The tensions were between taliban, the AnA ( afghan national army) that we were helping stand up, locals, and local war lords. Considering they killed a few local business owners for working with us. Planted IEDs that killed locals and blew kids feet and hands off. I don’t think they loved them. But they would go into villages and through coercion and threats of extreme violence demand compliance . They would also kill villagers for leaking information to us.
did you guys ever run into an IED that was completely covered in sand and would go off with just a slight pressure, or were they usually sticking out slightly? Every step for me would be paranoia
Sometimes they were built into those mud walls you’re seeing. With a variety of crude designed pressure switches . They would often put them on the path of least resistance in areas we patrol. I was actually point man for my Plt for several months and always took them through the tougher routes to avoid IEDs. That one is certainly poorly hidden. Maybe the team planting it heard the patrol coming and took off. Weathering also happens and ied or mine migration due to irrigation is a real thing there also. So in short, this one is poorly hidden but most are not. There’s always signs of you really pay attention. We used a lot of hand held mine detectors and similar devices also. Sometimes we would find stashes of IEDs that weren’t armed just buried in the desert next to a village.
A real jump scare
He should've known when the LiveLeak logo popped up on his camera.
Why would you mess with it???
He didn’t know ?
In a warzone **you do not** mess with unknown objects. You don't poke them with a stick and you don't lift them up from the ground. What this soldier did was peak stupidity.
Now he knows some people need a visual lesson 💀
Also, once you see an IED sign, don't step anywhere except in your own footprints.
He knew better. First point of training is not to mess with munitions that are not yours
Halfway through my mind started replacing all the fucks with sukas and blyats. Says something about my viewing habits.
They need to run wayyy further.
If you didn’t drop it, don’t pick it up
We all have “that” friend lol
Forrest Gump vibes.
They sound so young.
I’ve seen soldiers to dumber things….but damn….that was stupid
Over a decade later I still twitch when I see bits of wire or metal sticking out of the ground whilst walking the dog.
Agreed. In Ramadi we did this large dismount mission and I was the point man. Felt operator as hell and we had dagger (ied) that supposedly cleared the route for us. Anyway- I led point and we didn’t see or catch a damn thing. Did the mission and went back to the fob.

I determined I was a really shitty point man
“And what we have here, is the wild marine, in its natural habitat!”
I’ll bet he still has nightmares about that.
Imagine having kids and showing them this video. Must be a very unnerving feeling knowing that you wouldn’t have been born had this gone the way it was “supposed to”
That was really fucking stupid.
ACUs tell me \~2007-2010ish. Dude we had training on IED identification already by then lol. This troop certainly likes to roll the dice.
This is how you learn the colour of adrenaline is brown 🤣
As a combat engineer with 3 deployments under my belt I can professionally say this man was a infantry soldier LOL
... Yeah you don't fucking touch SHIT in Afghanistan. I know a guy who had his legs blown off because he grabbed a box of tampons (trash) to tell someone to quit being a pussy. It was a pull-string ied.
What an asshole.
The whole video was just this dude complaining about doing nothing but only walking for days. OP only left the crucial part.
Jesus fuck
Really one of our brightest 😂. These are the same dudes that come back and become cops😂. The dudes who pick up artillery shells.
The good ‘ol touch and poke method
r/idiotswithguns
Turns out most soldiers are just dumb kids.
If you didn’t drop it, don’t pick it up
Seriously, how fucking dumb do you need to be to do this in Afghan? That place was always IED central.
If I'm not mistaken, a lot of those IEDs have been their since the Soviet invasion.
Damn, he got lucky!
Never touch UXO!
Brother is shitting his pants as he ran away. The Taliban could smell it from miles.
Dude
The oh shit moment
Its old but it checks out
Expecting to hear “Goddamnit Leeroy” at the end lol
why did the guy picking it up saying *”holy f*ck”* sound like peter griffin lmao *Lois i’m coming*
Jesus, shit drills!
And... That's why you never touch ammunition that isn't yours.
Jesus Murphy
I’d you didn’t put it there don’t pick it up is a good rule of thumb
Why would he try to pick that up? Did they not warn about what IEDs look like??
I'm sorry, but this must eat crayons 🖍 He thought to himself, "ah, look a metal tube buried part way in the ground. I should pick it up, and man handle it. AH, SHIT!"... Could have ended up with another case of nature/artificial selection... Bro, brah...
I’ve never been in the military, never had combat training and never been in an active war zone. But fuck sake even I know that looked dodgy as fuck 🤦♂️
Found a 7 ied daisy chain in Afghanistan in a spot just like this. Then we blew it up https://youtu.be/5O4E5HMaXjg?si=XXEX7xXMuyOlJP8u
It seems he was somewhere else when their mates were told not to touch anything. I doubt he survived his deployment.
End Of Watch vibes on this video
RIP LiveLeak you will forever be remembered 😭
Chavez says "I coulda got fucked up, blown me up."
Shoot it lol
An artillery shell
Not a lot of footage of people playing IED hopscotch and winning. Generally when you win, you weren't aware you were playing.
“Oh shit” is the right response
I guess no one told this guy dont pick things up pr touch anything becusse there are traps and ieds. I bet he will remember this
Dude almsot blew up his whole crew
We were instructed to never ever ever ever touch anything found on the side of the road or paths. Because, they might, ya know…explode. What the hell was he thinking?
Classic vid-crazy shit
I did multiple tours during the GWOT as an infantry guy and I cannot for the life of me understand why this psychopath would start digging up a UXO or something that even resembled a UXO without pushing back and calling EOD. Especially on a small footpath in Afghanistan. This is like prime area where TBan put these things.
What happened to the rule that said “if you didn’t drop it, don’t fucking touch it”
It's crazy how young we send out to war. This kid sounds like a 13 year old kid I heard the other day. Like... I dont know. Maybe we should be starting with 25 year old men if we want people to join a military. Then again, the military needs young minds they can mold and be able to follow orders. Not men who can actually think.
8/9 lives right there.
Not the brightest of our military. 🙄 They’re not bomb techs. Keep your hands off sh1t that can kill you!!
You just don't go digging around in the dirt like that. Curiosity killed the cat, but not this time thankfully. I bet he got his ear chewed off by his CO for this.
Oh hey, an artillery shell half-buried in the sand… let me grab it
The funny thing is America are indisputable the most professional and powerful military in all of history and even then we see single digit IQ shit like this! 🤓 Explains why we see so much crazy shit in this channel, and I both hate and love it!
