Right, this coming from a citizen of the nation that brought us "We are Masons!!!" and the "Ministry of Funny Handshakes", outstanding cultural perspective, that. Oh, and also dont forget "The Lumberjack Song"

Excellent work...certainly far ahead of anything in the current CM games. The infantry firing sequences look great, really...who would drop their mags in the sand? I would put them away...who knows if you are going to have the luxury to, "collect them later", and even if you did, sand, dirt etc does not chamber well, keeping them clean is far more important. If things are so that bad that you have to fire in that sort of uncontrolled way you're probably going to die any way and wont need the mags. [ March 28, 2007, 12:26 PM: Message edited by: Nidan1 ]

I must apologize to all my opponents, for the haphazard nature in which my email service seems to be discarding files rather than delivering them. Then again, haphazardness is probably all you lot deserve, right...I take back my apology. Happy Birthday Queen Emma !!!! Did Seanachai die, or is that just a rumor?

Happy Birthday Speedy how about a turn?

Go away now and save yourself the trouble of being flogged and sent to Coventry. Anyone who would register nearly 7 months ago and save their first post to now....and in HERE....well you know what I mean.

I am beside myself........looks over and says; "hello self, who is this maroon?"

That burning Stryker pic is in that link as well. It must be the most famous burning Stryker in the whole war!!

So you had seen the picture before...or you knew the young man who took them? Which is why you made the comment you did earlier in the thread? Obviously someone else is using those photos for their own purposes based on the url for the pic posted by chops. Your copy is obviously from a different spot...it still looks fake to me.

Those Strykers were probably going to be driving along public highways at some point. The Department of Transportation would require that they carry some sort of placard to denote the hazardous materials on board. Once in combat the cans would be painted over no doubt.

Now see how neat this looks. Units that have vehicles are not going to carry **** on their backs, nor are they going to stuff the inside of their vehicles and make them cramped to ride in. On the top and sides it goes, show me an army that wouldn't do this, unless they planned to live off the land rather than carrying supplies along with them.

Oh the horror!!!!!

Soldiers in combat tend to make themselves as comfortable as possible, with their own personal gear as well as with vehicles. Certain restrictions are relaxed, I would imagine...if you wanted to bring along some extra water rations wouldn't you load it on your vehicle, rather than hump it? (plus water helps deflect explosively formed detonations). The picatinney rail that is mounted on all M-16s and variants, allows the soldier to mount flashlights, infra red stuff, etc. I'm sure most of it has to be approved, but more than likely some non-standard gear gets on there. I don't get your comment on uniforms, although you could be confusing some Iraqi troops as American. The Army especially issues standard uniform gear, but there could be some persoanl deviations in that as well. From my experience, the brass will look the other way if no one mentions it.

The picture looks fake...I guess when you are trying to propagandize a country that wants to fight a war with NO casualties at all, any tactical loss is major news even though it means little in the strategic scheme to lose a Stryker or two in combat.

don't lisent to those two gossip girls, people like to spent their live thinking about chessy romances, better spent the time doing impractical studies about the greek ressistence in the II war world. trillion of kisses </font>

I think we do an injustice to primates everywhere, by even comparing Boo to one, or by ascribing even the slightest of primate characteristics to him.

The little one is a love child...I'm sorry bauhaus .

That is a picture of bauhaus' escort at the last Illinois State Fair. She won the tallest Tranny contest. I have been told that bauhaus still treasures his six foot, purple, stuffed orangutan , which was the first prize.

It's just the wind blowing up your AUSSIE?!?!?!? huh? </font>
