would you rather them not have shot at them? then who Knows the next day they take out a Humvee who has your brother or your dad or your friend in it. FYI the only reason there were children in that van was because they thought they wouldn't fire on them, like playing hide and seek but your bring the base everywhere. next best thing is to blow the base up to.

If u say so fgt
no sir you are the tard in this case... you keep living in boca, and thinking that everything is all happy go lucky... especially the marine corp these guys all have the same hair cut, and are pounded mentally for 13 weeks of the toughest times of their lives before they get shipped out and then perform every command their platoon leader tells them. the military is a life of suboordination and respect and discipline. ben you are sadly mistaken if you think that any one of those guys with a gun in their hand is the same guy that left home a mislead teenager... (my dad served 26 years) trust me its not normal human reaction to kill someone and brag about the shot... but think what you want...
as to green machine, obama needs to grow some balls and stay... i bet you couldnt tell me one good reason why we should put our tails behind our legs and run like bitches.

DJ you might think they are brainwashed to do whatever they are told but fact of the matter is that its do or die out there and they are going to do what it takes to survive. They still think on their own they just think differently because of the training they receive. Not saying that Big Mike is a retard because thats a bit harsh to say but IMO the soldiers still have thoughts of their own.
Obama is a fucktard I just heard about this new treaty that he is going to pass saying that the United States will destroy all their nukes and promise not to test new ones as long as the other Countries with Nuclear Technology do the same. Are you fucking kidding me? C'mon now our President thinks that Russia is going to say okay and not take the opportunity to get the upper hand on the USA. Our Country is sadly going down the drain and these soldiers are fighting a war to help sustain our freedom while our Government officials try and sabotage it.

well im not saying they dont have thoughts of their own, infact most military men i know are some of the most outspoken people i know too. im saying that in big mikes case when ben said yeah right, they are definately brain washed, they sure as helll are not allowed to show dissaproval to what they are supposed to be doing, they just have to buck up and do it.... live or die, i understand that, they still think about their families all day, and what not... im saying in a political state of mind (when active duty) they do as their told and dont think twice... and also if you think for one second that our country will deplete its nuclear power you are sadly mistaken... im sorry but i dont think that our country would put itself in the middle of a pond and hold a sign up and say IM A SITTING DUCK! KILL US NOW AND RULE THE WORLD! sorry it wont work that way... OBAMA is prolly the worst thing to happen to ameerica... but it was cool to elect a black guy, shit i think in today's society Lil Wayne would have been elected if he ran, just to get a black man in the office... but hey i form my own opinions....

The guy is tearing this country down. Look at this http://www.cfr.org/publication/21826/obamas_nuclear_plans_face_daunting_obstacles.html
The guy honestly thinks that the Russians will get rid of their nuclear weapons because Obama promises we will.........HOW ABOUT NO.
He believe in redistribution of wealth if thats not a Socialist belief then I don't know what the fuck is.

Thought this was relevant. My Dad sent this to me and served in the Navy 22 yrs retired. Military life is a humble life and there is nothing glorious about it. To serve is putting others ahead of themselves for a greater purpose..
A very good primer on military weapons currently being used by both our guys and the enemy.
One of our friends here at Cypress is a retired army general, who receives communications from those serving in the military. This one is really quite informative.
Combat Firearms "Report Card" from Iraq
This email from a Marine Lt. Col. who's in Iraq . No politics here; just a Marine with a bird's eye view opinion:
US Weapons:
1) The M-16 rifle:
Thumbs down. Chronic jamming problems with the talcum powder like sand over there. The sand is everywhere. Jordan says you feel filthy 2 minutes after coming out of the shower. The M-4 carbine version is more popular because it's lighter and shorter, but it has jamming problems also. They lack the ability to mount the various optical gunsights and weapons lights on the picatinny rails, but the weapon itself is not great in a desert environment. They all hate the 5.56mm (.223) round. Poor penetration on the cinderblock structure common over there and even torso hits can't be reliably counted on to put the enemy down.
Fun fact: Random autopsies on dead insurgents show a high level of opiate use.
2) The M243 SAW (squad assault weapon):
.223 cal. Drum fed light machine gun. Big thumbs down. Universally considered a piece of shit. Chronic jamming problems, most of which require partial disassembly (that's fun in the middle of a firefight).
3) The M9 Beretta 9mm:
Mixed bag. Good gun, performs well in desert environment; but they all hate the 9mm cartridge. The use of handguns for self-defense is actually fairly common. Same old story on the 9mm: Bad guys hit multiple times and still in the fight.
4) Mossberg 12ga. Military shotgun:
Works well, used frequently for clearing houses to good effect.
5) The M240 Machine Gun:
7.62 NATO (.308) cal. belt fed machine gun, developed to replace the old M-60 (what a beautiful weapon that was!!) Thumbs up. Accurate, reliable, and the 7.62 round puts 'em down.
Originally developed as a vehicle mounted weapon, more and more are being dismounted and taken into the field by infantry. The 7..62 round chews up the structure over there.
6) The M2 50 cal heavy machine gun:
Thumbs way, way up. "Ma Deuce" is still worth her considerable weight in gold. The ultimate fight stopper - puts their dicks in the dirt very time. The most coveted weapon in-theater.
7) The .45 pistol:
Thumbs up. Still the best pistol around out there. Everybody authorized to carry a sidearm is trying to get their hands on one. With few exceptions, can reliably be expected to put 'em down with a torso hit. The special ops guys (who are doing most of the pistol work) use the HK military model
and supposedly love it. The old government model .45's are being re-issued en masse.
8) The M-14:
Thumbs up. They are being re-issued in bulk, mostly in a modified version to special ops guys. Modifications include lightweight Kevlar stocks and low power red dot or ACOG sights. Very reliable in the sandy environment, and they love the 7.62 round.
9) The Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle:
Thumbs way up. Spectacular range and accuracy and hits like a freight train. Used frequently to take out vehicle suicide bombers (we actually stop a lot of them) and barricaded enemy. It is definitely here to stay.
10) The M24 sniper rifle:
Thumbs up. Mostly in .308 but some in 300 win mag. Heavily modified Remington 700's. Great performance. Snipers have been used heavily to great effect. Rumor has it a marine sniper on his third tour in Anbar province has actually exceeded Carlos Hathcock's record for confirmed kills with OVER 100.
11) The new body armor:
Thumbs up. Relatively light at approx. 6 lbs.and can reliably be expected to soak up small shrapnel and even will stop an AK-47 round. The bad news: Hot as shit to wear, almost unbearable in the summer heat (which averages over 120 degrees). Also, the enemy now goes for head shots whenever possible. All the bullshit about the "old" body armor making our guys vulnerable to the IED's was a non-starter. The IED explosions are enormous and body armor doesn't make any difference at all in most cases.
12) Night Vision and Infrared Equipment:
Thumbs way up. Spectacular performance. Our guys see in the dark and own the night, period. Very little enemy action after evening prayers. More and more enemy being whacked at night during movement by our hunter-killer teams. We've all seen the videos.
