Nice d00d. I've been begging one of the medics for the CD he got from some of the Special Forces guys over in Afghan. Believe it or not, the guy in Zoner's siggy is in there.

The CD is one of the soldiers with his digital camera. He took some gruesome pics man, along with the 5 guys that died (2 were commo/radio men, 1 was a SEAL) if you remember. It had to do with that Chanook crash from the RPG. Anyways, some pics are brutal, but god, you won't see that detail in both the death OR the landscape on the news man.

All i have to say about this topic is this:

As i sit over here on this boat and worry if the the al quidea (think i spelled that wrong) or iraq is going to launch an attack against the ship. Every morning i wake up grab my unifaorm along with my anti flash gear, chemical warfare suit gas mask boots and gloves and head off to work. So as those of you who think that canada can not make a contribution to this war effort suck my navy ass! why dont you get off your computer chair and go and do something that you will be proud of like serving your country. I am so proud that i can have the opertunity to serve and protect our way of life. We are here doing this so people can sit at home on your computers and whine and bitch or type a few remarks about my country or military that you know nothing about. I have met alot of yanks in my time and i have to say that there are very few that had the balls to talk to us with out making some kind of stupid ass " Hey your from canada, do you know joe" remark. one last thing, we have done wargames with yanks before and kicked ass. Our personel are trained to do a variity of jobs as they are only trained to do one. that is one of the reasons they need so many people in there forces. We could do the same job with half the people and that is a fact because we are doing it now. My ship is suppost to be 249 people and we have around 224 and we can function just fine. So to sum up if anyone wants to start talkin trash about my beloved armed forces then i say you best be going shopping first because you dont have the parts.

painswessex · 01-08-2003, 07:17 AM

All due respect to your recruiter but...I think not. I'm sure a special ops team will be sent for Saddam but our large force will be used. It cost a huge amount of money to send and sustain forces into the field. Why would we load to Marine assault ships with all the weapons and ammo they would need if they are just for show? Plus the fact that we cant just go in take out Saddam and leave. We have to put in a force to keep control of the country so that it does not turn into total chaos. So I think your recruiters theory is plausible, will it be done that way? no.

Well said, painswessex. Take care over there, man. Hopefully, you'll be back before the hockey playoffs start...heh.

Actually they did'nt...dumbass. Otherwise I think that would have been reported on the real news, and they would be talking about it non-stop.

Please follow these nice men in white coats to a nice room with padded walls.
