Canadian Brig.-Gen. Daniel Menard (left), commander of coalition forces in Kandahar province, walks with U.S. Capt. Tom Lamb, commander of 1-12's D Company at a strongpoint outside the town of Senjaray, Afghanistan, on Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009

It surprises me that a general is carrying an AR. I know that even generals can be shot at but still, i wouldn't think he would spend any time outside the wire. Also the US cammo seems to be a funny colour for the desert.

Yeah, its the army ACUs, mean to be used for all conditions.  They are complete shit, basically not camoing or even breaking up the soldier's silhouette at all, and the army is already looking into replacing them xD.  I believe Kading posted a photo awhile back of the desert camo that's in testing now.

ACU's is just very random and very grey.. I dont even know why US brought them into service in the first place :/

Frankly the 'Chocolate chip' camo works alot better puahaha



I just wish sometimes this war between us and the Kurds would end, so I can go to these beautiful mountains as a fvcking tourist and not in unifrom

Canadian Cpl. Rob Furlong is responsible for the farthest sniper kill ever recorded. He took out a man in an al-Qaeda mortar nest from 2,430 meters away. That's just over 1.5 miles.

Whats that sniper rifle? Cant tell much because the weapon its too dark, its a L96/AWM, and Hecate or a Sako TRG?

Looks like AWM to me

AWM... Gendarmarie Commando housing.. The guys are basically alone on a big ass mountain in a building with 3 rooms, eating area, sleeping rooms and where the Commander sleeps.... Around 15 guys total lol. Real fvcking isolated xD

Back to Star Wars.

^^ Meh red headband or not its not gonna matter.. From the distances we fight a red headband isnt gonna make a difference for either side, for the reason that these battles are fought 800 yards apart, hence why we use Battle rifles


Here be a PKK guy, M4 with Eotech.. Blackwater basically supplied these guys and maybe still do who knows, but we've covered alot of US made weapons with serial numbers matched to Iraqi Police/Military units

The immortelle...

A tall soldier striking an elegant pose and wearing the grenadier bearskin is Sergeant Taria in the uniform of the Grenadiere de la Garde of 1809-1815.

Times of London in May 1855(7?) : ‘The base and railings of the column of the Place Vendôme appear this day decked out with the annual offerings to the memory of the man whose statue adorns the summit. The display of garlands of immortelles, and other tributes of the kind, is greater than usual…the old soldiers of the Empire performed their usual homage yesterday at the same place.’ On the same day, a funeral service was held in the chapel of the Invalides attended by Prince Jerome and other dignitaries. The entire personnel of the Invalides as well as soldiers of the First Empire were present.
