Who are the victors of the Iraq war?

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I dont think I ever said that only the ground pounders were in the desert. I was in the desert also, surrounded by nothing but sand. But I dont think you understand what I mean by a fire base that the "ground pounders" are at is. It is a fox hole in the ground and nothing more.

Alright. It's the fighter lot that my dad hate. Back in Saudi with hotels and complaining about being at war.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeap we were not in Hotels. I was in tents and little Metal Container is a Foward Operating Base out in the Middle of the Desert outside of Tikrit, Iraq. The ground pounders had it bad though, they were out in some places that did not even have shade from the sun.

My dad was out in officially the middle of nowhere, known as somewhere in Iraq. Far beyond anyone else with two tents, two chinooks and their own SLRs and two LMGs in sangers for protection. And the constant stream of special forces looking for a taxi further into Iraq.

Well I am sure it sucked.

Yea, we determined, pD and I, that his father probably worked on some of the birds we'd hop in... Pretty funny actually....

The desert is the worst place to conduct a war.. Period....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I agree....sand, sun, heat, flies, spiders, BUGS!

 

[evangilder]

I think any place that has extreme weather would suck.

 

[plan_D]

That is why Britain would be the best place to fight a war. There are absolutely no extremes.

No I would love to invade Jamaica....

 

[cheddar cheese]

Id like to invade Monaco...Nice harbour, mountainous surroundings, and as far as I know, no armed forces.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

No I think Jamaica would be better, lots of rum, hot chicks on the beach, Island Music and Ganja!

 

[cheddar cheese]

But after seizing Monaco, Id go island hopping in the Mediterranean. Malta, Cyprus, Corsica, Sardinia, the lot! 8)

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

And probably get your ass handed to you at Malta.

Hello guys.

Recently browsing some others forums I have found those horrible pics of a M1A1 without his turret. In the forum said "Abrams destroyed by a iraki mine" but I am not very convinced of that ....any more info about this ?

Nope dont buy it.

Yes it was obviously destroyed but not by a mine. A mine would not blow the top off of it. Probably a Anti Tank Missile or something of that nature but deffinatly not a mine.

When we were in Iraq a friend of my mine rolled over an Iraqi Land Mine with a Hummer and it did not do that much damage to it, so it would not do that to a M-1.

I would like it if we invaded France. Wine, french breads, and of course wiping out asses on French soil!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Coming from Alabama do you even know anything about good Wine?

 

[lesofprimus]

I would like it if we invaded France.

Hmmm.... I think -38 is having some problems at home or something.... In his last couple posts, he's stated that he hates Mexicans and wants to invade France...

The Next Hitler???

He wants to form the Confederate States of the Reich!
