Show of force!

[evangilder]

This was a show of force in Mosul after some Americans had been
killed. It's shows some UH60's firing on a target illuminated by
a hand held laser, then attacked by a UH-60. That is the description given to me in the e-mail message I received.

How's that for a show of force. 8)

 

[evangilder]

If that doesn't do it, I don't know what will!

A Spectre Gunship?

Kick Ass...

 

[evangilder]

I thought so too, Les! My first thought was "get some!". My second thought was "Les has to see this one!"

 

[lesofprimus]

Man, that sound u hear, that chainsaw sound, is music to my ears... I've been in some pretty deep shit, and when those minis go off.... Damn..

I got goosebumps thinking of it...

 

[evangilder]

Yep. It gave me the same thing. But I can tell you that was once one of the most beautiful sounds I could have heard when I did. Sucks to be on the receiving end, but when the fecal matter hits the rotating air circulator, that is the most beautiful music.

 

[lesofprimus]

Yup......

Heres something to get the old fluids pumping........

 

[Nonskimmer]

That's good combat footage.

 

[evangilder]

Wow! I am amazed that someone was actually shooting video at that point. Yep, I could feel the sweat coming on with that one. Whew!

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe...

God loves the Marines because they kill everything they see.

I still hold some hard felt feelings for JarHeads... Cant tell u how many brawls and fights I and We got into with them....

But I still give em props for gettin it done.... War changes atitudes...

 

[evangilder]

It's funny how when the bullets start flying, the interservice rivalries fade away. Once they stop, they come right back.

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe....

Agree, but remember - MARINES - Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential

If they get the job done in the field and stop you getting your ass blown off, who cares if their I.Q isn't above their shoe size?
