[redhawk_six]

Croats, Albanians, Serbs all want to kill each other by the tens of thousands. Why should America get involved and pick sides?

Okay, then if Sadam wants to kill his own people, why should americans get involved? If Adid wanted to starve his own people, why should the americans have gotten involved? If palistinians and Isrealis want to kill each other, why should anyone get involved? Why? Because we have something called human rights in this modern world, and we need to apply it, fairly, to everyone, not just who we see fit to.

My question is why don't they get involved in other countries like this. There are so many countries that are worse off than Iraq was when it comes to war crimes and dictatorship. Why is no one acting? If the war in Iraq really was all about freeing these oppresed people, then why is Bush ignoring these other, worse off countries?

Beryl because it´s favoured over the M4 by this particular unit? I mean,
given that it´s dressed up with nice colour and accessories, I assume that
1 PSK can get M4´s as well if they want to? (And M4 seems to be some sort
of SF-fashion these days).

Although I would have taken a Beryl anyday over a M4 myself.

[REMOV]

Beryl because it´s favoured over the M4 by this particular unit? Nope. 5,56mm kbs wz.96 Beryl is a standard Polish forces assault rifle, which repaced 7,62mm kbk AKM and AKMS. The only Polish unit fully equipped with M4Ax (SIG and G36 also) is the GROM.

I mean, given that it´s dressed up with nice colour and accessories, I assume that 1 PSK can get M4´s as well if they want to? I afraid not. This Beryl's "acccesoriess" are made by soldiers it is not a standard issue.

Although I would have taken a Beryl anyday over a M4 myself.There is self-loading civilian version of Beryl, called Radom Sport (or Beryl Sport), so you can just buy one ;)

^ ............ 'In front of all those cameras. Good thing nonetheless.

You know I am sure you will apprecite it if I take hundreds of U.S. German or other military soldiers pics that you post and attach that ridicules and false insinuation that is implied with that statement.

Its got the same credibility with those as with the IDF

No even if there were no cameras the kid would not have been shot.

The only way he would have possibly been shot is if he didn’t listen to the soldiers and didn’t stop after regretting it and instead continued running to explode himself (and even there its not autmatic that he would get a kill shot...but I wont go into that)

Other then that, our ROE's that most follow are not to shoot.

Hell just the other week we had the same situation and I don’t think there were cameras there and nothing happened to that kid

And there have been similar situations with adults that have been caught at checkpoints and they were not shot.

Shalom :D

If you were worried about "ethnic cleansing" then why didn't you get invovled in africa, rwanda, nigeria, zimbawe etc. I'll tell you why, because you're ****ing CNN already decided that we were the 'bad guys" for everything that happened in the balkans so it was easy for clinton to start a war on us to get attention of his little monica lewinsky scandal.

yeah you know what!? you americans always alter laws and poltics and you're "beleifs" when it suits you're needs to make money! And EvanLloyd nobody was being cleansed until f*** albanian terrorists started to kill innocent police officers. If you were worried about "ethnic cleansing" then why didn't you get invovled in africa, rwanda, nigeria, zimbawe etc. I'll tell you why, because you're f*** CNN already decided that we were the 'bad guys" for everything that happened in the balkans so it was easy for clinton to start a war on us to get attention of his little monica lewinsky scandal. Too bad NATO bombs killed more innocent women and children than we ever did. :PYour asking me why i didnt get involved in those african problems?
Maybe because at the time i was 10! And you refer to cnn as being my cnn? Whats that supposed to mean? If you want to have people respect you, stop being an idiot and posting diarhea of the mouth.

[AK-Lover]

you moron I was refering to why the west didn't get invovled in africa. You might consider what I say diarhea but I consider what you say as lies and **** so it goes both ways i guess. :)

[Ratamacue]

Yeah, but what you fail to realize is that Evan is a respected member of the forum, while virtually everyone seems to consider you a racist, diarrhea-spitting fvcktard.

And instead of feeding the flamer we know as anal lover, i mean ak-lover

...Although they should learn from Delta. Old Navy Cargos and Oakleys is how you 'dress to impress' your enemy. :lol:

1. They (some USCG units) do train with Delta
2. US Navy SEALs as well as several Israeli units use Oakleys. Sunglasses aren't about "looking cool" in water ops.
3. They are not wearing cargo pants, they are wearing ODUs, which is the standard USCG work uniform. They work fine and are not worn to impress anyone.

These guys could be LEDET (which is part of TACLET), or MSST, or even a boarding team from several cutters that were/ are operating there.
