in pic2 and pic3 wtf is that on the snipers heads?

i think its somethin the brits wear to keep the little hats on their head

i think their just crazy
i like helmets lol
although they dont do much besides deflect bullets that aren't coming in dead-on at the head

Go tell the french how much Helmets suck, because they don't wear them.
consequently, they die alot.

We dont live 5000, 500 or even 50 years ago. We live RIGHT NOW. And today the biggest threat to world peace and the biggest threat to the Western nations is Islam. You can blame the religion, you can blame the leaders, you can blame the young brainwashed recruits. Doesnt matter. The point is, its not angry Brits who are strapping bombs to themselves and blowing up trains and bus stops.

Actually, it was angry brits that blew up the trains in London.

However I personally find merit in looking at these images not from the point of "America Fvck yeah" but seeing that not only are our enemy human but so are our soldiers. And that's important to remember.

I don't think there is anything "cool," entertaining, or fun about war and I don't think an entire thread dedicated to "cool war pictures" should exist, because no such pictures have ever been taken. I only see pictures of unfortunate but necessary last resort resolutions to serious world problems.

Even more ironic, the OP is from Canada, a socialist country, like all socialist countries, that only exists and thrives because of the victories the United States has stepped up and secured on the battlefield, in the business world, in scientific laboratories, and in numerous other fields; and so I find that to be very unappreciative of him.

While your tone is a little more angry than mine was going to be, I was going to post the same thing.

"cool" war pictures?

A few of the posters probably have a few GB of videos of Iraqi insurgents and Taliban getting their heads blown off by 50 Caliber rounds that they watch over and over because they are "cool".

While I am happy to see our enemies vanquished, I don't happen to think that it is "cool" to watch their gory last moments on earth.

The only "cool" war photos IMHO are the ones of your parents and grandparents of them with their unit buddies in a moment of calm and relative peace in a crazy time.

Its to bad that you are from California and all of your opinions are ignored by the other 49 states.

I have 2 great WWI pics my grandfather took while he was fighting in France. I dont have them scanned and i should do that because the pics are not in the best of condition.

1. shows no-man-land with trees looking like telephone poles, shell creaters everywhere. a couple air burst and ground burst are caught in the frame. in the middle it shows a german soldier half in a shell hole pulling another german soldier into the hole.

2. shows a few german pow's with their hands in the air with americans pointing thier 1903 springfields with bayonetts at them.

my grandfather was in 5 major battles in WWI they are listed on his discharge papers. i know two are the 5th german offensive and the other is the meusse argone.

Pic14 - Taken by me

That pic kinda saddens me. I'd give my car for a nice long range with a good backstop. You guys have it and are shooting what.....50 yards?

What a waste of sand.

They are zeroin'g you n00b. See the zero targets set up.

Yeah yeah yeah. 50 = 200, whatever. You'd think some 2 years after deployment they'd already have them zeroed

A smart rifleman re-zeros in every new climate. Some even have a seperate zero for night and day (big temp diff in the desert)

I have a bunch of good photos but unfortunately most are just prints, and I dont have the negatives, and no scanner. I will try to post some when I get home tonight.

two greatest "war" pics of all time are Iwo Jima flag raising, and the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square on VJ day.

See, thats where your wrong.

There is something incredibly cool about dropping a 2000 pound guided munition on a house of sand and mortar and watching it turn the house back to dust, leave a big crater.....And send 5 enemies to the Everafter.

I bet the 9/11 terrorists thought the same thing. I guess that way of thinking is contagious.

The best policy is the punish those who do wrong, but let them and all others know that we dislike it just as much as they do and wish it could have been resolved a different way.

Absolutely they thought that way!
Which is why its imperitive we wage this war we're waging. So it doesnt happen again.
The simple fact of the matter is, we WILL have to fight them. Now, when a young individual of Middle Eastern decent walks into a grocery store or bank with a backpack on do you know why I'm not sh1tting little green apples?
Because we're waging that war in the Middle East, rather then putting on blinders and saying "It wont happen again...It wont happen again..."

um... how many of the 9/11 terrorists were from Iraq?

Might want to put an NSFW flag on that one.

EDIT: These are some very moving pics you guys have linked, great job! My Grandfather flew in the Army Air Force during WW2 as a tailgunner. His troop has some amazing shots (both enemy and US planes getting ravaged) which I'll try to get scanned and posted soon.

And to the always ever thread-jacking JLGatsby, just stop already.

You are correct.

My question and point was, how do we solve the problem?

A billion Muslims exist in the world. Tell me how to solve it.

I offered you my solution, which is punish those who do wrong, but show a friendly hand to those who are innocent, to help them advance to our level of sophistication and progress.

What's your solution?

Specop 007, No reply? I feel like I just asked a Democrat how to fix Social Security.

You wouldnt like to hear what our solution should be, the solution that would send the message not to fvck with us. Therefore I will withhold it.

Nevermind. I dont want to start anything. Post edited

Oooooh, some gory stuff in there.
Bin Laden could look like some of those ugly pics, except we haven't been looking in the right places.
