hi res

[Seraphim]

I cant find the original pic, I saw the pic reading an article a few days ago.
And now I cant get this pic to work from the following site. So I'll just link it.

http://www.msnbc.com/modules/theweekinpictures/default.asp


Brian Pacholski, a U.S. military police officer, comforts his hometown friend and fellow MP David Borello, on June 13 at the entrance of the military base in Balad, Iraq, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) northwest of Baghdad. Borello broke down after seeing three Iraqi children who were injured while playing with explosive material. That night, just a few hundred yards from where the two Toledo, Ohio, residents knelt, Iraqi attackers hiding in a thicket of reeds rushed a U.S. tank column.

[MEGR]

I think that Hood's pick looks more like a scene from BHD.

[Fargin]

Hood your picture really gave me Animal mother flashbacks.

not sure these would be 'best of the best', but there's some great balance to be had in these 2.

CENTRAL IRAQ - APRIL 11: A U.S. Marine with Force Recon of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit stands armed while flowers hang from his pants April 11, 2003 in central Iraq, north of Naseriya. The flowers were given to him by grateful Iraqis. Force Recon is the U.S. Marines' equivalent of U.S. Special Forces, tasked with recon and other sensitive missions in small groups.

To put pics up press the Img button once before the URL...then press it again after the URL

I'd like to post my fav' up. But how the hell do u get the image up? I've tried pasting it on the reply but it won't.

[hood]

Above the post text box, hit the Img button, paste the url of the jpeg, then hit the Img button again and that should do it. If I see that it didn't work correctly, I'll edit the post to fix it.

One of my fav's from the Iranian Embassy Siege in 1980.

Thanks for the help Hood :roll:

[stuntman]

Na france would be easier! At least the Iraqis Fight! :bash:

[hood]

Not so sure about that. There's more Islamic zealots in France right now than Iraq.

[stuntman]

You're right Hood, but there not holding the cards so there rather impotent at the moment.

[Kriz]

Na france would be easier! At least the Iraqis Fight! :bash:
You think France wouldn't fight back, and in general Europe. Most people here are getting quite sick of the USA. And when you start saying this like Paris next on the list I can't say I blaim them.

[Trigger]

You want some cheese with that whine?

[budanski]

France is example number one when comes to natural selection of a nation's character.

Gallic Wars (http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/g/gallicw1a.asp) - Lost.
In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.

Hundred Years War (http://www.ku.edu/kansas/medieval/108/lectures/hundred_years_war.html)- Mostly lost,
saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman."

Italian Wars (http://www.bartleby.com/65/it/ItalianW.html) - Lost.
France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

Wars of Religion (http://www.lepg.org/wars.htm)
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

Thirty Years War (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/France_30YW.htm) - France is technically not a participant,
but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

War of Devolution (http://www.simonides.org/error.htm) - Tied.
Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

The Dutch War (http://www.bartleby.com/65/du/DutchWar.html) - Tied

War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War (http://www.bartleby.com/65/du/DutchWar.html) - Lost,
but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

War of the Spanish Succession (http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0850271.html) - Lost.
The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.

American Revolution (http://www.nv.cc.va.us/home/nvsageh/Hist121/Part2/AmRev1778-81.htm)
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

French Revolution (http://members.aol.com/agentmess/frenchrev/summary.html) - Won,
primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

The Napoleonic Wars (http://www.napoleonguide.com/timeind.htm) - Lost.
Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

The Franco-Prussian War (http://www.bartleby.com/65/fr/FrancoPr.html) - Lost.
Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

World War I (http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/timeline/)* - Tied and on the way to losing,
France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

World War II (http://history.acusd.edu/gen/WW2Timeline/Prelude12.html) - Lost.
Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

War in Indochina (http://home.att.net/~r.hodgeman/history1.html)*- Lost.
French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu

Algerian Rebellion (http://www.onwar.com/aced/data/alpha/algeria1954.htm) - Lost.
Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans (http://www.voanews.com/article.cfm?objectID=55B0DDCF-5584-45F7-A644FA820FA1332C) and Muslims (http://www.city-journal.org/html/12_4_the_barbarians.html) just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

Let's face it. When it comes to war, France gets rolled more often than a Parisian prostitute with a visible mustache. They've been beaten so many times there's no fight left in them. There's no national anthem in the world as ludicrous as France's (http://www.copcity.com/anthems/france.html)

To arms, to arms, ye brave!
Th'avenging sword unsheathe!
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On liberty or death.

Oh liberty can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy gen'rous flame?
Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine thee?
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?

Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine thee? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Yes, demonstrably. The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be "Can we count on the French?", but rather "How long until France collapses?"

You should keep that in mind, Herr Schroeder.

[Gringo]

I've heard that sort of description about the French losses on another forum.
Your not on UKAN forums by any chance?

[hood]

Well, what is clear, is that liberal political correctness brought to its extreme, where you don't want to offend even the criminals, is the path to disaster. One example of the opposite, would be Rudy Guiliani of New York City. As the mayor, many people hated him for being so harsh and insensitive. The result, was a police force that was respected and admired. Crime plummetted during his term and the city started prospering at levels before unseen. I sent a copy of the crime in France article to 2 people from France that I know, and they couldn't agree more with how much France has gone down the toilet when it comes to crime rates and how little the police care. One mentioned how she had to beat this guy away with her umbrella, and even though a police woman was right there, she wouldn't do anything.

[budanski]

No I'm not UKAN forums. I lifted this off someone's blog :D

[EvanL]

Budanski i beg to differ on your comment about the United States coming to save France in WW1. In WW2 the allies did save France but in the First World War, the U.S. waited until there were like 5months left in the war. And even in WW2 you guys waited until you yourselves were attacked.

[Seraphim]

US believed in isolationism back then...now they dont, whatever the US does the world doesnt like...its a no win situation all the time. Just like how the iraqis were afraid that the US was just gonna kick Saddams ass and leave. Well they arent leaving and now they're mad cause they arent. ?????? :cantbeli:

[Seiyuuki]

Budanski i beg to differ on your comment about the United States coming to save France in WW1. In WW2 the allies did save France but in the First World War, the U.S. waited until there were like 5months left in the war...

First, we didn't waited...The neutrality of the United States had been seriously imperiled after the sinking of the Lusitania (1915). At the end of 1916, Germany, whose surface fleet had been bottled up since the indecisive battle of Jutland, announced that it would begin unrestricted submarine warfare in an effort to break British control of the seas. In protest the United States broke off relations with Germany (Feb., 1917), and on Apr. 6 it entered the war. American participation meant that the Allies now had at their command almost unlimited industrial and manpower resources, which were to be decisive in winning the war. The war ended in the eleventh month of 1918, if you DID do the math, it was more than five months!


And even in WW2 you guys waited until you yourselves were attacked.

Yeah...and I'm sure that if the French were in our shoes, they would just jump right in and become the savior of the world :D

And I'm sure that flow of ships carrying load of supplies and equipments heading toward Britain during the Battle of Britain to help the British just appeared out of thin air and we didn't have a lick to do with it :D

What rifle is that being carried by the guy on the left?
I think it could be a G3K, but it seems shorter then that.

[Guttorm]

Its a G3 with a retractable stock.

In norway it's called AG3-F1

[Gringo]

So it is a G3K. Thanks mate.

[peanutt765465]

OK start posting the finall pictures we only have about 15 more days till we start the vote i will tell you how the vote will work when the time gets closer so start posting

[Loke]

So it is a G3K. Thanks mate.

Dude, Guttorm just said it was a G3A4, or AG3-F1, not the G3K. Are you blind?

[Gringo]

Dude, Guttorm just said it was a G3A4, or AG3-F1, not the G3K. Are you blind?

Nope, but u r


Its a G3 with a retractable stock.

1. He didn't say G3A4
2. A G3 with a retractable stock is pretty much a G3K!

[HooyahCQB]

Mine http://www.news.navy.mil/management/photodb/photos/030524-N-4441P-091.jpg Cheers..[/img]

[Loke]

A G3 with a retractable stock is pretty much a G3K!

No it's not!
The G3K got the 12.4" barrel (chopped barrel and cocking tube, and using the HK33 handguard), the rifles seen in Guttorms picture are the G3A4/AG3-F1 with the 17.8" barrel. So there!

[Gringo]

Wait a tick

*checks www.HKpro.com*

I think your right.
Sorry, I got a little confused between the G3A4 (which I thought only had a solid stock) and G3KA4 (which I thought was the only G3 which had the rectractable stock).
Anyway, I would like an apology for the rudeness of your posts.
