The pics they never show to the US Public. Wich still thinks that the US are still winning the war.

Being a member of the US public, I can say that they do show those pics, and every casulty that is taken in Afghanistan and Iraq gets reported, along with pictures of the person and their family and such.  So no, we do know the cost of war.


Btw, last I checked, we won Iraq.   ::)
I think the pics you see are more like coffins (like pic 1) with a nice picture of the people in the coffin while they where still alive. I doubdt you see pictures like pic 2.

Pic 1:


Pic 2: *Warning, do not open this if you are easily shocked*

Sure, this guy is perfectly fine, had a bad wound but nothing lifetreatening anymore. Hitting someone flatout with a baseballbat in the stomach would be a more severe wound. But still....
I did not add the caption on this, i believe it should not be there but it is so sorry


And you won iraq? Then why are you still there? You did not win Iraq until you completely leave it and it is a healthy selfsubstaining country. And that will take many, many more years.


Up untill here was what i think the us people see. Please tell me what is wrong in what i say, what do you really see? I only recieve CNN here and all i do on that is watch the news sometimes and watch Stewart (love the guy :p)

Should the public really see a picture of their soldiers with ripped off arms and legs? I mean really, the pictures doesnt prove anything. Even if they saw the picture, they would rant about it on some forum and carry on. On paper the US has won in Iraq, but the occasional bomb or shootout will occur (which country DOESNT have shootouts or bombs?) 'Yeah, lets go show pictures of dead soldiers to our comrades, that'll fix things'

And since I HAD to post, I will contribute another pic (blame yourselves, not me :))

PKK arent the only ones pulling off ambushes.

Guys, enough political crap, get your own wee thread.

On the day that Westminister announces that British troops are to pull out of Sangin Province:

Yah, because losing soldiers in a war is a sure sign of defeat. ::)

JELUWAR, AFGHANISTAN - JULY 06: A U.S. Army MRAP with Task Force Thor Route Clearance Patrol from 23rd Engineering Company, Airborne pushes rollers through sand during a day-long route clearance mission July 6, 2010 in Jeluwar, Afghanistan. The U.S. Army route clearance unit uses specialized equipment to seek out improvised explosive devices (IED) on roads throughout Afghanistan to prevent military patrols and civilians from being hit by the homemade roadside bombs that have injured and killed hundreds of NATO troops and locals.

A very rare combat photo from the American Civil War:



Quote
Monitors engage Confederate batteries on Sullivan's Island, Charleston, South Carolina. Photographed from one of the Confederate emplacements, the ships are identified as (from left to right): Weehawken, Montauk  and Passaic. The monitor on the right appears to be firing its guns. Date is given as 8 September 1863, when other U.S. Navy ships were providing cover for Weehawken, which had gone aground on the previous day. She was refloated on the 8th after receiving heavy gunfire from the Confederate fortifications.

Looks a hell of a lot like the FBP m/948 submachine gun, from Portugal, but it still has a wooden stock =/

i m always wondering, were mustaches required to join the army back in these days ?

i mean seriously there is rarely a soldier in WWI on photos without a mustache, or some other kind of facial hair.

well you still need to shave a mustache, or you grow a lumberjack /taliban beard instead.

i guess it was just the manly fashion of that time.

This.  Back then you needed a mustache you could beat a bear to death with to be considered a man.
