This is how Hot it is in Iraq

(youtube) The new tar paved was melting on our foot soles- air temperature measured 118 degrees- then put into play the ground radiation, the flacks and equipment we wear, etc... and you have yourself an oven

I hear they add way too much oil to their asphalt recipe. The roads are slick as shit and you will crash if you drive fast. It makes the roads less tar sands and more light sweet crude. No kidding!

It's not their shoes that are melting - there's just a layer of tar on the road they're walking on. At 0:15 you can clearly see that the front guy is no longer on the tar and is not leaving any tracks.

Tar easily melts and becomes tacky like you see in the video. I know this from experience and I live in Canada!

Yup, I've had this happen in Australia, definitely the road and not their shoes melting...

Newer, fresh tar will melt pretty easy until it gets some grit and dirt in it.

Will get soft around 95-100 degrees in direct sunlight. Really annoying in the summer when they are filling cracks and it sticks to your car tire when you stop or slow down and then your car pulls it up in a big strip and wraps around your wheel.

It's worse if they use the wrong mixture of tar....lot of people think you can use roof tar to fill cracks in your driveway. Don't do that. Roof tar melts really easy and is meant to so it'll flow and fill in places where water might leak in....much lower melting temp. They often pump it from the ground to the roof....

Well, they could try the thing where you don't join the military in the first place. It prevents things like being committed to illegal occupations, and stops the pressure of having to kill innocent people in foreign lands that never attacked us.>> ^Fantomas:

Hey soldiers, I have an idea. GTFO of Iraq.
Unfortunately I don't think the soldiers have any say in the matter.
