Look what the cat dragged in!

I've been browsing these forums quite a while now, and decided to join up. I figured saying hi to everyone was the right way to do it, so here it is! I reside in Belgium, and starting basic training soon, then moving on to the engineers! (Too tall for the infantry, long story), I bought a digital camera a while back, been taking pics of interesting military stuff ever since I've had it, I plan trips to a local re-enactement group for some WW2 material, and ofcourse sharing some of the material I've been collecting over the years. :hug:

I thought I could start off with some links to interesting sites, most of them were prolly posted here before.

Argyll topic you closed was about media and way they cover such incidents not about incident itself...Change title to more apropriate an unlock it plz :)

[1Cie GevGn]

No if it's a bad subject we better find another one and post that

[Argyll]

No,
As you know full well it has sod all to do with the media,none of us were there to criticise the actions of these crewmen,so it stays this way!
You honestly think people will not say........"ah but they were unarmed",or "using an AH 64 25mm Chain gun is a bit excesive",or the Anti American Brigade start their ****e about the rights and wrongs of a 30 second inconclusive clip.

The answer is a firm No ..........locked it stays.......and Hermanekk you've been round here long enough to know what happened the last times they were brought up. ;)

[Herrmannek]

[1Cie GevGn]

Lol never knew of that link :D

I had the chance to pply for the Para's, but decided that would be pushing it a little :oops:

[Argyll]

I do not have to justify locking threads to anyone........least of all to Mustamoto............I have for the 3rd time told the reasons for locking ,either accept it and move on or go to another site forum where you can discuss it where the Anti American/Anti Iraq war stuff can stay,but this video as long as I'm here will NOT get dragged thorugh the mud again.

[Argyll]

Mustamoto has apologised for not reading the thread in it's entirity and I have accepted,but I shall not remove the post above.
I will not forward the PM to Hood..........this time

[Herrmannek]
