As I said, at the first glance it was weird, because the Humvee is never mentoined to be used by the KSK...on the other hand they´re a "secret" special force, so not everything they do is going public..
Anyway:



A group of German paratroopers in Afghanistan. They must´ve been part of one of the evry first contingents, when the North was quiet and calm and our politicians could still sell it as a rebuilding and security mission. Note the British Bristol vest, one of those guys is wearing, which still has its DPM pattern. The rest is equipped with Mehler SK body armour. All of them wear their berrets, the European Flecktarn uniform and the guy maning the MG wears his yellow "Spieß" ribbon. Also their "Wolf" car is unarmoured and doesn´t have a roof.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Post WW1 Lithuanian Army.

Picture was taken no earlier as 1924, because enfield rifles were bought in that year. They seem to be posing with their Maxim MG. Well during that time, it seems that the Lithuanian Army was made of Volunteers, nothing professional till late or mid 30s i guess.

I only posted a link. I didnt put a gun to anyones head saying open the picture. And to me they're trash, to me they're less than trash, you can recycle some trash you cant do shit with the corpses. Of course you can say its a bad thing but I thats how I feel and im sure alot of other people would too if their buddies arm flew in their face or their cousin died in an ambush because of the same guys, im just sayin. So im showing as much respect to them as they would show for my dead body

At least Taliban is trying to take as much bodys with them as they can ;D, very sympathetic of them.


Chinook flyby near Kala Kala.

the hill came famous during the battle of Chora, Troops fought off hundreds of taliban.
Dutch commanders gave the order to defend Chora at all cost. For weeks a huge battle raged on.
It was the biggest Dutch battle since the Korean war.

Do not disrespect the dead.  They are guilty of no crimes and you too will eventually join their ranks.  What a person does wrong by you ends at their death.

Differences of opinion...

My beef isnt with the Kurds, its like Homer Jay said the PKK. I dont care what the Kurds want to do in Turkey, i'd say give them whatever they want in Turkey and let them be miserable citizens like us lol. In the 80's they began mass migration here eventually wanted a country named Kurdistan, dunno might of said this before on this thread too. Anyway they started making sure SE Turkey didnt develop, killed some teachers, engineers etc started picking on the Army, Army started attacking back, went into Iraq around 5 times since 90's cause thats where they attack from. They pull off an ambush run across the border and we give chase till we get tired :P

Anyway bit off topic peoples? :P


Geeky side of the Army lol

You have absolutely no idea who these people are do you? Before the most recent invasion they were famous for going around Afghanistan and destroying any religious items not having to do with their particular brand of Islam.

These people (I stretch the definition of the word) are thugs, nothing more. They want to be the big boys on the block in Afghanistan. Pile em up and use them as sandbags I say. Beating women to death for not covering their faces? Yah, you go ahead and be sympathetic

GO GET EM, BOYS!!

F18 is much easier on the eye, such beautiful proportions. Up there with the spitfire IMO.

If it looks good it flies good.
