Need help with a picture of Iraqi forces.

[Giko]

Hi, I need that picture of Iraqi soldier carrying Darth Vader like helmet. I think one of Saddam's sons was obssesed with Star Wars so he ordered those helmets for his forces. So if anyone has it please post it. Thanks in advance.

I am on a Military Transition Team in Iraq and was given a truck identical to the one in the bottom photo for personal use around the FOB while I am here. Incidentally, it came with a Sublime tape that I blast when I drive around the Iraqi Army side of the FOB...That picture makes me wonder who had the truck before we got our hands on it...They probably weren't Sublime fans

Couple more images ;),The helmet did not have Kevlar or any thing to stop bullets.It really didin't even stop shrapnel.

Ah, the good ole' Fedayeen Saddam. . the laughin' stock of many a military history-photo website in the West.

Not such a funny matter though if you were an Iraqi civilian though pre-March 2003. Remember that when you poke fun at the bastards today, these guys f*cked up many thousands of Iraqi civilians.

Above is a link to a Wikipedia entry on them.

Oh my god, that is ****ing hilarious. Sometimes you see things when your alone that in your head you think is funny but you dont actually laugh out loud. After seeing those pictures i actually L.O.L.ed...alone...by myself. Thats just priceless.

Stupidrofl or maybe...not!! What do you think Donald Rumsfield was doing in Iraq,when meeting with Sadam Hussain?He was a rep of G.Lucas. The guy produced so many Darth Vader helmets,that he didn't know where to put them..well,have went to the stores,for kids and grow-up kids,and have were sold to Sadam. He thought 'what a fancy helmet this is!errr...yet we don't need that mask,we couldn't breeth through dust,you know'. Rumsfield was pleased with this contract... Thousands of Darth Vaders-now thats real WMD!!!

[eatmars]

[Dark Avenger]

WAS a big fan of star wars, considering his well-deserved demise...

[khukuri]

[Hukatus]
