Huh, Baker you seem quite a bit more mellow than usual.
Errr, i did say i went through basic training, so, i have as much right to say anything as he does...
Opinions man, opinions...
here's how this is going to work
don't be a presumptuous cunt and act like you know about the military, and i won't come along a rip you a new one for talking out of your arse about things you don't understand. sound good to you? i don't presume to know shit about modern alternative rock or whatever the fuck, so i don't make posts about it. is it really too hard an example to follow?
Edited:
also if you don't think we should be in afghanistan, welp, please do tell me more about a war you don't understand! the only thing we shouldn't have done is waited so goddamn long to go unfuck the place. if we'd gone in with aid rather than a fighting force the moment the last soviet soldier crossed the border back home, the country wouldn't have fallen into the hands of lunatics and this whole fucking mess would never have happened. we're fixing our prior screwups now, but if you think we should just leave a failed state to fester any worse than it already has, more power to you. this thread isn't about politics, you can go and be wrong somewhere else.
really? you started this shit
Face it, you guys are only over there because of Oil and Bin Laden...
I have met people in the military before, and most of them have came off as assholes, not all of them but a good portion. So I took that as if they are you are. I don't know anything about the military, how they hold their guns or what weapons they use. But from my experience on how they act I have the right to make the comment I did. I understand what you are doing for your country, I think that takes a lot of courage (more then I have). I applaud you for that.
People are allowed to have opinions, so i suggest you just sit down and learn to take opinions...
Edit: Damn it ringo, breakin' mah auto-merge...
LOL!
LOL!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh my GOD
bookmarked my post so i can laugh at this for years to come ahahahaw
Glad you got a kick out of that...
Was that the first time you came?
oil in afghanistan? hahahah yeah sure okay
also bin laden? yeah maybe next time some fuckhead decides to kill a few thousand innocent civilians we should let them get away with it!!!!
christ, civilian teenagers are so ignorant of world events it's not even funny
Wait who's Bin Laden?
Haha, umm, yes.

Pfftt...hahahaha...
Not a civilian, but ok...
yeah, okay, sure.
afghanistan has oil, but it's not even close to the country's best asset and it's totally insecure (like, worse than iraq). oh, and the us doesn't actually get its oil from iraq or afghanistan at all, sorry to put an end to that stupid little misconception.
frankly, afghanistan's only credible assets are that massive mineral deposit they just found (which nobody knew about before the war, unless you're about to tell me the taliban were cool with foreign surveyors scoping out their real estate), opium (which is useless to western nations), and rusting soviet tanks. it used to be in an important trade position but that went out with the advent of ships and air travel. by all means though, keep arguing about something you don't understand. next you'll be telling me your uncle's best friend's wife is some high-up mineral company executive and they've known about the lithium all along.
try reading up on some actual history. the soviets invaded, america fought them by proxy as usual, soviets got their arses kicked and withdrew, america stopped caring and did nothing as the shattered country fell into the hands of the taliban. if aid had been provided right away, it wouldn't have happened, the taliban would not have gained a foothold, and bin laden would not have a leg to stand on.
you can keep making a tit of yourself if you really want to though, no loss to me.
hey morons if we want oil we'd just to take over libya again like england did LOL
You say i am digging myself a bigger hole, but yet i am giving you valid reasons to show...
And yes, most of americas oil comes form the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska, but it has also been known to be shipped in from Iraq, why did you think the bath loylists in the Iraq invasion lit up the oilfields?
Besides the one thing that let everything down was the aid, your right on that. America just pulled the fuck out when they were finished, even when they trained some of the afgani's (The Mujahideen).
Anyway, im tired, its late and i think we can stop with the derailing of this thread...
Edited:
No, go back to Iraq...
you're not giving valid reasons at all, you're making stupid statements, failing to back them up with any evidence at all (even anecdotal evidence), and then backpedalling like mad when i turn up and disprove everything you've just said.
you're 17 according to your profile, you were a cadet as a child, and you are now an airsofter. forgive me if i don't hold your word to any value at all, but there is not a single thing that points towards you actually understanding the situation. i mean, that's okay, very few people do, but you're being told what's up by someone who made a point of finding out what the fuck in case they ever need to go there. seriously duder, why did you even try to argue?
Itt: Ross > Everyone. To himself.
Because if nobody argued in this world, the world woulden't understand its own problems and wouldn't get anywhere and i do understand the conflict. I was 10 when watching the images of tanks and 4x4's in Iraq and i still remember it. But you do have to repsect other peoples opinions, all people that i have met that have fired/worked with the M16/M4/AR's and have said it is more combat effective to hold it by the mag-well.
Anyway, it was a nice argue, havn't had a good one for a while, but we need to stop with the derailin', or the Mod Hammer will be down on us soon...
oh, having reread the thread briefly, you ninja-edited your post to include an al-jazeera (great news source by the way kids, very little bias or usual media bullshit) report... about a NEW NEW *NEEEEEEEEEEEEEW* oil reserve. notice the new part. that kind of implies we didn't know it was there nine years ago.
Well, sorry for that, i thought you noticed it...
i remember the time before this one iraq got lit up. bosnia, kosovo. remember watching belgrade get blown the fuck up nightly. saw 9/11, saw the first troops hit ghan, then the roll into baghdad. anyone can watch television, that doesn't mean you understand a conflict. not even close.
Ross, you do this to most of the threads you post in.
oh and east timor how could i forget that
Edited:
hey slithersoul, you're not helping re-rail it, just a heads-up
Well that and being a general ass
On-topic, I think there should be more zombies in the picture, nothing exciting.
Yeah, Slither, shut up....

Anyway, im off to bed, its 2:10am and i got to get up early tommrow...
The only cases where I've seen soldiers hold an AR pattern rifle like that is in CQB with carbines. Otherwise, it's a rare sight.
Anyway though: The posing is pretty wonky and unbalanced/uncomfortable looking on everyone save for maybe coach, but even then he's holding that rifle pretty awkwardly. I don't think i've ever seen anyone hold a rifle against their clavicle.
The effects are, simply put, shit. I shouldn't need to say anymore than predrawn brushes.
No. If you look closely you can see a machete.
What the hell, i go to bed, i wake up, and i see that the whole thread is about how to hold a rifle correct and iraq and afghanistan. And this thread wasnt supposed to get this much replies >.<
WHAT THE CRAP!
hahahaha, oh man. i wonder why.
true story: i once had a friend who thought the butt went on your chin. "well how else do you aim with the sights?"
if only i'd gone shooting with him before he moved interstate...
Well, sorry, me and ross just had to let some shit out...
Lol.
Now can we let the thread die?
Yes.
