You have badass, then you have epic badass
 

And this is epic badass...

Tier 1 operator types getting picked up in epic badass style.

YouTube - Extreme Special Forces Extraction Afghanistan

did that really just happen??? EPIC BADASS!!! :)

Yeah, I think epic badass is a pretty good way to describe that. That's some sick flying from the pilot. I'm guessing that isn't easy!

Is the cockpit big enough for a copilot? I mean, the attachments of that pilot needs to be factored into the payload!

What section of flight school covers landing half a helicopter?

Thanks for posting this Choke. All kinds of awesome.

Tail gunner: "Alright a couple of more inches--not too fast though because the tail rotor is about 3 feet from mowing the grass!"

incredible precision and control. Thanks for sharing.

Fun times. You are moving a hell of a lot faster than that off of a hot pickup... Still pretty cool vid though.

So sick!!

combat beard ftmfw!!!

Hm.. in the longer version of that vid, you can see that more than a few of those M4s have cans on them.

Not your average mission. Those guys kick ass. :bow:

Someone got an "A+" is helicopter training. Our Military talents are over the top. There is nothing these guys won't do for their fellow soldiers.

We all have used Epic Fail, that is Epic Balls of Titanium. Awesome. Someone does deserve a round of drinks for all involved for that action.

Yep. Saw that.

Very bad ass! That was awesome!

Believe it or not, most SOF missions use suppressed M4s, 416s, MP7s, etc. It's much more common than not. The other common traits are NV-compatible optics and IR lasers.

I don't think I've ever seen "Epic Badass" be an understatement, ...........until NOW!!!!

That is pretty bad ass. So is Santa and his new sleigh:

Really badass...

When operators age, the object is still to adapt and overcome.....
