Watch this Yemeni fighter run under fire across open terrain for over 2 minutes without being hit
Making the rounds online once more is a video from a couple years ago that captured a daring act by a Yemeni fighter, purportedly a Houthi soldier, that has garnered widespread commentary and admiration, regardless of the soldier’s affiliation.
The video, which is more than two minutes long, documents a mad dash — it lasts the entirety of the clip — of a fighter desperately scrambling to safety with his wounded comrade draped over his shoulder.
Small arms rounds ricochet in the dirt all around him for the duration of his two-plus-minute run, but the man trudges on undeterred.
Numerous observations of the video have been made in the wake of its release, many laden with sarcasm given the absurdity of select content.
Certain users on Marine Corps social media channels, for example, have commented on the impressive performance the individual would exhibit if undergoing the rigorous Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test.
Others have noted that the individual in question demonstrated perhaps the longest “I’m up†segment of the classic “I’m up, they see me, I’m down†combat maneuver ditty in history.
