MOUNT SAINT HELENS NATIONAL MONUMENT, WA - OCTOBER 7: A tortured landscape remains in the blast zone of the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens, in the distance, which created the biggest landslide ever recorded, on October 7, 2004 in Mount Saint Helens National Monument, Washington. Seismic activity returned overnight and the volcano resumed releasing steam. The level three volcanic warning had been downgraded to level two, temporarily reducing the expectation of a major eruption. In 1980, a huge eruption on Mount Saint Helens blew the top off the volcano and sent volcanic ash around the world. It also produced possibly the largest landslide ever recorded, wiped out an entire forest, and killed 57 people. (Photo by David McNew/***** Images)

The 46.66 metres (153 ft 1 in) long Airbus Industrie A310 MRTT is a wide-bodied multi-role tanker transport aircraft derived from the Airbus A310-300 civil passenger and transport aircraft. The A310 MRTT is capable of being readily converted to the following roles: air-to-air refuelling tanker, all-cargo transporter, medical evacuation aircraft and an all-passenger transporter or combination of VIP, passenger and cargo transporter.

Eine regennasse Landebahn wurde der Maschine der bangladeschischen Fluggesellschaft Biman zum Verhängnis. Beim Landen in der Stadt Sylhet nordwestlich von Dhaka kam das Flugzeug mit 87 Menschen Bord von der Bahn ab und rutschte in einen Graben voller Wasser. Mindestens 56 Passagiere wurden bei dem Unfall verletzt.

Der Irak-Krieg hinterlässt viele Wunden. In Wiesbaden wurden heute 2500 aus dem Irak heimkommende US-Soldaten geehrt. Statt im Panzer kehrt jedoch manch einer von ihnen im Rollstuhl zurück. Vize-Verteidigungsminister Paul Wolfowitz dankte den Angehörigen der I. Panzerdivision für ihren 15-monatigen Einsatz im Irak. Die letzten Soldaten der Einheit waren am 4. August an ihren Heimatstützpunkt in Wiesbaden zurückgekommen. Am Vormittag war auf dem Militärgelände in Wiesbaden eine Gedenktafel für die 133 Soldaten der Einheit enthüllt worden, die im Irak gestorben sind. Die traditionsreiche Einheit hatte im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Nordafrika gegen das deutsche Afrika-Korps gekämpft. Im Jahr 1971 wurde sie nach Deutschland verlegt.

I guess in your country, you don't either vote or your commander in chief is not your president. Why can't a soldier express who he wants to be his commander in chief? I guess your country must has a lot coups, a soldier must remain neatural in politics? Tell all the freaking judges to do that first.

What the f#ck is this :slap: ! Politicy during a shift?! He should be nuteral between both party's! A Bush/ Cheney sticker on the stock of your rifles :fork: !!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most ridiculous thing I saw since day's!

Oh, this is not because I don't want Bush to be President, and prever Kerry (personaly I think that the US voting system is a big laugh, and I don't like them -Bush and Kerry- both), but he is an American soldier, not only a Republican marine. If he had a US flag on his stock, I didn't even care. BTW, in Holland it's indeed illegal to put promotional gadgets on gear. And we have a totaly different voting system than the US (we choose our own leaders, and the biggest 3 party's are the leading power of the country, the rest of the party's are 'Opposition'), but we don't have a Fidel Castro as leader :D !

sarcasm, ever heard someone besides your gf teasing about your IQ?
He is a soldier with political beliefs, like an American with religious belief, I guess that's too much for you. As a fact in the "bad system" in US, if you can collect 100,000 signitures in the state, you can be on the ballot. And when you vote, you can do the write in.
Of course, I know where HOLLAND is,I can see though all the smoke your guys puffed out.

And by the way the fact that he's in Iraq or whatever country doesn't change anything he has to respect the law ...

Did your time in what? Did you actually read the article before you posted??? Your IQ is questionable at best.

4.1.1. A member on active duty may:

4.1.1.1. Register, vote, and express his or her personal opinion on political candidates and issues, but not as a representative of the Armed Forces.

My IQ is 140 thanks and please read twince ...

4.1.1.1. Register, vote, and express his or her personal opinion on political candidates and issues, but not as a representative of the Armed Forces.
4.1.2.3. Participate in partisan political management, campaigns, or conventions (unless attending a convention as a spectator when not in uniform).

What is he with an uniform?

I stop here.

I do agree for putting a piece of their own identity on their gear but not a political opinion, it could be too dangerous like in Viet Nam war for instance where too much political opinions were shonw on tanks, helmets and so on ...

To Romulus, by paying i meant having a blame, adn sorry for my bad English but what means the word "dispicable"? It's just in order to know more.

Doesn't make a difference to me. Everyone in the US has freedom of speech, and of all people soldiers should have no less right to put something like that on their rifle than a Bush/Cheney sticker.

There is something that you don't understand.
The army (marines, navy, airforce, doesn't matter) is operating what ever the goverment decide, no matter which side is making the decision.
Therefor, the army doesn't have an opinion.
The soldier (every soldier, doesn't matter where and who) is a representive of the army, there for he can not make a stand aswell. He can and should have an opinions, but he should keep them for himself and his friends as long as he's serving in the army and he's wearing his country uniforms.

Yes, right His photo would have been on huge billboards from the Iraqi opposition, and he would have been on every single newbroadcast in the world. Some people will call him a here, i would call him stupid, because if he didn't liked to go Iraq, he should not have signed for the Marines. When I signed up for the Army, they told me exactly what I could do and not, and if it was your shift to go to Bosnie, you had to go. I knew that from day one! I signed up for Bosnie two times!
With that sticker on his stock, he is doeing what he should prevent: making people angry. In country's like Iraq, he can be a easy target, and so are his buddy's! Like I said, if he put a US flag on his stock, i realy don't care, but putting "Look people, I love Bush" stickers on gear is realy dangerous in Arabic country's! But well, I'm just a stoned, weed smoking dumb Dutch guy, so I should'nt speak :roll: ...
