Leaning on a humvee is a helmet which stands as a testament to protective power. The helmet stopped a piece of shrapnel, which would have killed the Marine wearing it. Instead, the Marine is being treated for non-life threatening wounds incurred where protective material wasn't covering him.

The pics are very large, maybe you guys have slow connections and are getting "ping timeout" way before the pics are loaded?

Same thing for me. And I can't access their website either.

I can access all other DoD websites, though.

Strange :(

:roll: The pics are too huge.
No real detail to look at anyways so they dont need to be so huge.

Shut up, I love huge pics.

I'm saving up for a huge-ass LCD screen and ATI 8800-whatever just so I can view huge pics without using the sidebars.

Size doesn't matter. Resolution does.

I get it, they wear one kneepad on the right knee for when they are in the kneeling firing position, as exhibited in one of the above pics!
Quick poll; If you were on combat patrol would you have your weapon set to single shot or burst?
Me; Single shot...
