VIDEO: Iraqi soldier with balls of steel evades ISIS sniper by using his brain

Talk about quick thinking

JOE

This is astonishing.

When an Iraqi soldier found himself under attack from an ISIS sniper, he had to think quickly.

He knew that his enemy had him pegged down as he hid behind a rock, so he evaded him by getting a stick, wrapping some material around the top, sticking a hat on it and using his decoy to peak out over the rock.

The sniper clearly fell for it, as in the last moments of this video the soldier makes a run for it.

Brilliant.
