Probably the most famous picture from the First Indochina War, FFL legionaire marching with behind him a M24 Chaffee, also named Bison by the French troops in Indochina.



And again a picture so tiny it wont be worth it's own post, no info on this picture but I think it's French paratroopers, because the LMG gunner got a beret.

@Invincible. I respect your decision and I wish you every luck in the world. My older brother who is 39 lives in Holland. He has enlisted in the dutch army now, he has lived there for like 12 years. I don't know where they will send him (he will be a captain, dunno what unit) but I hope not to a place where there is any live action.

sorry for the OT, allthough this is OT forum.. so.... I don't like to not face the reality in discussing important things, so if I cut straight to the point with the psychiatric stuff, that's only because I care, and because that is where it will end in the end, if shit goes wrong...  :-\



And just because I can, I'll ask you one last question:
If the shit hits the fan, would you be telling everyone how war is wrong and be stomped on, or pointing your medic kit at the enemy in a frozen forest?


This question is also a test to see if you are a ganja smoking hippy living on idealism, or a realist who actually lives on planet earth.




And to be somewhat on topic:
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".

Yesh. Its a Turkish blackhawk, it crashed in A-stan when it was landing at the same time as another Turkish blackhawk, I dont know what happened after that but I believe nobody died.

You can tell its Turkish by its distinctive camo

Speaking of blackhawks. I'll contribute today with 3 pics just uploaded on the Net.








And as far as I know US sells most in the world, followed by Russia, and then the stronger EU countries like UK France and Germany

Illegal firearms burned Wednesday in Nairobi as part of a campaign by the Kenyan government to mop-up illicit small arms and light weapons that are at the center of increasing violent crime in Kenya and Africa. In Africa and elsewhere, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons is opaque, amorphous and dynamic and a global enterprise, put at some $1 billion or 10%-20% of the global trade.
