These are Pakistani troops as well. No surprise, I believe this isn't the first time that Jordanian or Pakistani "peace-keepers" have been involved in shootings. Two rotten armies from two rotten governments.
I'd like to ask the person who posted this: What is he trying to acomplish? The only soldier shown shooting is a Pakistani soldier, not Jordanian. Also, someone who works for an organization like CBS should know better. They should give the viewers some context. We see a Pakistani soldier firing while walking with a number of Pakistani soldiers, and then the picture cuts to a Jordanian soldier being unfairly questioned. There is an ulterior motive here and it's shameful.
The Jordanian Army is known for its professionalism and humanity, especially on peacekeeping missions abroad; one only needs to look at the number of brave Jordanian soldiers that have died saving lives in the last earthquake that hit Haiti. Jordanian Heros don't need a digital garbage like this attempt of a blog to salute its service to humanity. Let alone that the video has nothing to do with Jordan.. get your facts right and besides that's a tear gas discharger you idiot.
