KABUL, AFGHANISTAN: Two German vehicles of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) patrol on the Kabul-Jalabad road in Kabul, 24 May 2004, following an attack on peacekeepers during which a Norwegian soldier was killed on 23 May. A Norwegian peacekeeper died early 24 May from a night-time rocket attack on his convoy in the Afghan capital, as insurgents show little sign of letting up in the approach to September elections.

there are many variants including the famous NBC - Fox which was used in GW 1 and probably GW 2 by US forces. The were produced in the US as I remember.

I didn't know there were orange bakelite AKM mags.

Yes there are, but they are not very common. I think almost all were made in China.

They can be found in the U.S. from time to time. The last one I saw was priced at $75

Well , i don't have really opinion on that matter , sence i haven't been there on that point of time ;) , so my guess whould be good as yours . I have even heard of a version that this attack by Moscow agents in Israeli security agencies , in order to stop between Israel and USA comming close .
As far as i know , the interest to cover that story was from both sides . That means no one have his hands clear . By the way , in the latest review of case the name of US ambassador in Saudi Arabia dissapeared from the list , most probably because he was on a list of a bribe takers from Saudi government . No one knows , it can be one big X-files , and was part of spy wars . It's not a fantasy considering to the 60's reality .

And let's seal it on that . RIP to the fallen on the Liberty . :(

I would not believe the trash put out about the UK's improved Fuchs 2
The UK got them in GW1 as a gift from the Germans.

In GW1 the RAF Regiment were in Iraq to plow the road if needed in front of any N.B.C. contamination.

The N.B.C. Regiment, now its T.A that's like the National Guard. The kit is OLD, even the rubber golves on the rear door for sample taking have been replaced so many times. Perished.

Saw the German versions in Bosnia in 95 and 96 great vehicle.

They had their own beer supply too.

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (May 21, 2004) - Survivors Alex Bernal, left, and Chester Carbaugh attended a ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor West Loch weapons explosion. A memorial of the disaster reminds all of a quiet Sunday afternoon on May 21, 1944, when more than two dozen ammunition ships moored in preparation for an attack on Saipan, suddenly exploded, resulting in a deadly chain reaction. The explosions left 163 dead and 396 injured and eight ships lost.

Los Angeles(May 24, 2004) -- Whether it’s engaging enemies on the battlefield or enemies on the screen, Marines are always ready to go into “Action!” when duty calls.

Fans of the Fox television show “24” had the unique opportunity to watch the Marines of Marine Aircraft Group-11 and Marine Attack Fighter Squadron-323 perform Hollywood-style heroics May 11.

Marines from 2nd Battlion, 23rd Marine Regiment, were treated to an hour-long, high-speed, low-level aerial action show by Marine F/A-18s during filming over downtown Los Angeles.

Led by MAG-11’s commanding officer Col. Earl Wederbrook and wingman Lt. Col. Douglas Kurth, two VMFA-323 F/A-18C attack fighter jets sprung into action over the Los Angeles sky in a rapid and realistic urban close air support mission.

The fighter jets came to the aid of television actor Keifer Sutherland, who plays the character agent Jack Bauer on “24.”

During the scene, Sutherland came under intense machine-gun fire from the show’s “bad guys” who were using a Bell UH-1 Helicopter in the Los Angeles River. The Marines were quickly called in to deliver effective close air support and they successfully destroyed the scene's enemy threat.

While performing such daring missions in real life may be of no great surprise to Marines, fans of “24” were showcased with an opportunity to see an explosive dramatization using real Marine F/A-18’s.

“It’s valuable training when our Marines get a chance to work up for an urban CAS mission and even more valuable when we get a chance to show the public, through television, the awesome power of Marine Corps aviation,” Wederbrook said.

While the preparation and planning involved long hours and detailed coordination with the FAA, Wederbrook said, “Hopefully, through our collective efforts, viewers at home gained an even greater appreciation for the awesome capabilities of the F/A-18 and the Marines that work to make it fly.”

The Marine Corps has a long history of support to the entertainment industry; however, for Maj. Brad Bartelt, the Los Anglese Motion Picture and TV Liaison director, admitted that it’s not every day a call comes in requesting F/A-18s.

“When we got the call we were ecstatic because, as Marines, we’re all about making big things like this happen,” Bartelt said. “It was great for the entertainment industry, it was great for our Marines, and it was a great opportunity to tell the Marine Corps story in a realistic setting.”

Such enthusiastic sentiments were similarly shared by veteran “24” producer and director Tim Iacofano.

“Given the real-world challenges today in coordinating air over a major metropolitan city such as Los Angeles, it was amazing that we were able to make this scene happen,” Iacofano said. “We knew the Marines were good at what they do, but they were really good, very precise and precision oriented. An incredible group of professionals.”

That's great idea, especially in today's anti-patriotic world, full of leftist idiots burning the flags :|

Jeez man it was just a ****ING JOKE, nothing offensive.
It's your history and you have to live with it, wheather you like it or not. Being oversensitive doesn't help you a lot.
But you do have a lot of sense of humor, don't you?
Or maybe you don't have it at all :cantbeli:

Now you feel better ?
