Night Watch with Steve Scott

[Eric]

Just watching this, it's got some guy in a balacalava going on about working behind enemy lines in Iraq in 1991. Here's the scenario.
They just killed 3 people and took 2 prisoners and from documents taken from the prisoners realise they are in danger of being surrounded by 30,000 approaching troops. So to keep their location secret they arrange for a chopper to pick up the jeep and bodies/prisoners under the cover of night and so stay undiscovered. Problem is the chopper pilot refuses to take the jeep, so plan B. They find a crater in the dunes and dig it deeper, pour fuel over the jeep and then set mines under it to go off in 5 hours. They then drive away.
5 hours later from their new position they see the flash from the explosion, aswell as all the opposing troops in the area that they are supposed to be avoiding. Now I may be losing the plot here but, if they wanted to remain undetected behind enemy lines why would you fucking blow something up rather than bury it.
So is the story fact or slightly exagerated for viewing purposes.

i think the idea is to simply stop the enemy from using the vehicle, if blowing it up is the only way then thats it, do what it takes!

think removing keys and throw the steering lock on... the enemy will be fucked the
