should'nt that kid be throw'in rock's at our tank's?

[Sentrosi]

Yeah, lovely way to win the support on the war front. And I think the kid needs to be in school learning how a Democratic government is 100 times better than a dictatorship that taught hate and vengeance against all western cultures. But thats just me talkin here.


Is it me, or do you also think that someone wearing desert camo BDU's should not be wearing a jungle camo Flak vest? I mean, I don't want to go Queer Eye on the US military, but green doesn't go with beige. Sorry, it just doesn't.

[ViperGTS]

Rofl......

[dscytherulez]

No wonder other countries hate us. Every time we go into war we screw their family members. :)

Or in the case of Dscythe he runs into their houses and yells "WHERE IS YOUR ANIME!", then proceeds to fuck the tv screen.

[Mr1337Duck]

Looks real to me. The kids probably didn't know what it said, the guy standing there is the one who wrote the sign.

[worldvengence]

nah, ive seen the exact pic somewhere before, and it said something that was slamming sadaam...i dont remember what it said exactly tho

[Spee]

This looks pretty real, too. (http://jerry.geenpunt.nl/puzzleball.jpg)


However, it was made entirely in PS. Do not doubt the power of someone with way too much time on thier hands and Adobe's insane software.

[Mr1337Duck]

No, that looks like a photoshop graphic with fairly realistic texture.

messed up but still, fucking pizzowned.

First of all, I think the photo is fake. If it's NOT, that fucking troop needs to be beaten with a stick.

Second of all, we don't have matching equipment, Sentrosi. The military is primarily a woodland camo pattern-based force. The standard uniform is the green Battle Dress Uniform (BDU), not deserts. The desert BDU is issued when troops are going to the Middle East. All of the TA-50 (battle rattle) is made with the woodland camo feature in mind. So it's not something that we can help. Most of the flak vests, Gor-tex, kevlar covers, and almost all of the battle rattle (web belt, suspenders, etc) is all woodland (green) pattern. There are very limited supplies of desert TA-50 and they are all in use.

[worldvengence]

usually the first to get dibbs on all desert are the 102 Airborne Army Rangers, since they are primary on raids (i think it is 102, not sure tho, should know cause my cousin is in it)

[Everay]

101st airborne?

[worldvengence]

agh....damnt...82nd Airborne....sorry...lol...he is in A or B company i dont remember

[Firefly]

That's the 101st Airborne (Air Assault). The Rangers fall under the 75th Ranger Regiment, and they are two separate entities. And no- usually the first to get dibs on all-desert is the unit that goes in first. It's not always 101st, it can be 1st Cavalry Division, 3d Infantry (WOOT!), 4th Infantry, or even those primadonna pansies in the 82nd Chairborne.

agh....damnt...82nd Airborne....sorry...lol...he is in A or B company i dont remember
Yeah that narrows it down... A/B Co of what battalion, in which brigade?

[worldvengence]

the 82nd came pretty late in the game, and i gotta agree with the primadonna comment, all my cousin does when he writes back is how lazy they all are, and how much they bitch all the time, but, according to him, they got dibbs on them

[Firefly]

Well it's not like there are five sets of them, we have enough to outfit a couple of divisions. But you also need to bear in mind, there's more than just Army units there.

The 82nd had its hey-day in World War Two. Jumping out of planes into combat was never used again, and now all they do is practice jumping and then when they deploy, they land at secure sites.

I worked with a brigade from the 82nd on several occasions, and I was tasked out to support one of their missions. I worked with their intel battalion (not impressed) and I also took a small team to run with an infantry battalion (slightly impressed). They're a bunch of overeager, egotistical can't-cut-it jackasses who are outmoded, outdated, and outgunned on virtually any battlefield except perhaps one fighting a bunch of angry kindergartners. I have little respect for anyone in the 82nd *ESPECIALLY* when they start waving that "All-American" bullshit in my face. They should stick to parades and demonstrations, and only ones without alcohol.

[worldvengence]

lmao, i sadly cant disagree with u, from what i hear from my cousin, it would shame anyone enought to go do a diff branch altogether...go air force...roflmfao

[edit] better?

[Firefly]

[edit] cant spell worth a shit....it is cant, not can
Then why didn't you just fix the error instead of pointing out what it should be?

[worldvengence]

meh, dunno

[Derfud]

I think we all understand that standard BDU is green, but maybe it should be changed to beige. I mean, when has there been a conflict in a wooded area? They should know better than anyone that when shit is going down, it's going down in the desert.

[worldvengence]

Korea, vietnam, and countless others...even the Balkins, Kosovo, etc....all wooded

[ghost018]

Notice how the guy doesn't have a rifle, or a 9mm, or cheverons, or the logo of his branch of the service on his hat, or a designation of rank on his collar.....

[Mr1337Duck]

Hey, since you guys seem to know your military divisions so well, what's the 173rd Airborne like? I had an uncle who worked with them in Vietnam.

[delta]

I don't find that one bit funny.

[Mr1337Duck]

No, it was actually a question, wasn't trying to be funny.

[Firefly]

Hey, since you guys seem to know your military divisions so well, what's the 173rd Airborne like? I had an uncle who worked with them in Vietnam.
The 173d was the first Army unit deployed to the Vietnam warzone (not a division, by the way). They have perhaps one of the biggest "societies" of former soldiers that the US military has ever seen, exceptions being the Marine Corps association and maybe the 82nd (those pantywaited primadonnas). The 173d was recently reactivated (meaning some unit changed names, most likely) and sent to Iraq. I believe they were the only unit to perform combat jumps in Vietnam, which given the nature of Vietnam's terrain and vegatation, is sheer badass in and of itself.

The 173d, from what I understand, was the best-trained unit for Pacific-theatre operations (which definitely was NOT airborne-compatible). I also believe they are the single combat unit with the most names on the Vietnam Wall (1700 troops from that brigade), which tells you how often they were sent into combat. Guys that were in the 173d during Vietnam are definitely worthy of respect.

[Mr1337Duck]

Yeah, he was a scout, and he's on that wall. He and his team of like 7 guys were ambushed, he took the first round, the bullet hit him in some vein above the heart and he died a few hours later. Looking up at this thing here he's got 2 purple hearts, a bronze star, vietnam service medal, and 7 others I can't identify. And he earned the bronze star, unlike certain women who drop their weapons at the start of a battle and are taken to an enemy hospital, women who sustain such grueling injuries as a door slamming on their hand as they rush to get out while their fellow soldiers are killed, or later tortured.


The reason we know all of this about how he died is that my dad, after searching for many years, found a friend of his brother's who served with him. I think everyone in the ensuing fight lived except my uncle.

[Firefly]

If you can't identify the medals, send for a transcript of his records. Or you can also do a google search for US Army awards and look, or check the Army website to see what they have displayed.

[Mr1337Duck]

There's this blue one with a picture of a rifle on it, that's the captured in battle award, right? There's one with two wings and a gem inbetween them, it's shown on this zippo lighter he had, so it may be for the 173rd. Another one has this weird design with a star around it, kinda like the star of david, but no crisscrossing borders, and it's all white. Another one has two swords crossed over a palm leaf, it says quan-cono under it. There's a National Defense one, and one that shows an eagle on top of a sword, which is on top of a book.


If you can identify any of these, except the National Defense medal, of course, please tell me.

I'll look into it. Offhand I can't think of them, so I need to pull up my research database. Awards were never my thing, because I didn't much care for trinkets. Now, the "two wings and a gem in between" sounds suspiciously like the airborne insignia, which fits with the unit ID. Here's an image link, tell me if that's it.

[Mr1337Duck]

Yeah... that's it right there.

[Dharkbayne]

I don't find that one bit funny.

[Firefly]

Okay, that's the Airborne qualification badge, you earn it after you go to Jump School.

These other awards... I need the colors on the ribbon material for each one. Also be as specific as possible, because it's hard as hell to ID something on a description when you're searching through images.

Here's one I think you mentioned, you said a wierd star shape like the Star of David, only all-white (tell me if that's the one):

http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/armedal/image63.gif

[Hezzy]

I think that's fake.

If it was a real trooper, he'd have his rank and stuff on, right?

[Mr1337Duck]

That's the one right there. I'll get the stuff for you later, I gotta go soon.

[Firefly]

Okay that one is the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal. It was awarded for service in Vietnam, or for direct support of operations in Vietnam. I'll wait for the others, but I think the one you mentioned with the eagle on the sword over the book... I think that's the Good Conduct Medal:

http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/armedal/image33.gif

EDIT:
"blue one with a rifle on it" is either the Combat Infantryman Badge (it has a wreath around it) or the Expert Infantry Badge (simple blue rectangle with a rifle in it).

CIB:
http://www.americal.org/awards/cib.gif

[Mr1337Duck]

His is a CIB. What do they give you good conduct for? Is it like that shit they give you in school for being a good child, or is it for being a good soldier?

[Firefly]

Notice how the guy doesn't have a rifle, or a 9mm, or cheverons, or the logo of his branch of the service on his hat, or a designation of rank on his collar.....
I think that's fake.

If it was a real trooper, he'd have his rank and stuff on, right?
Not necessarily. First of all, not every soldier is going to pose with a weapon. His weapon could be off to the side. Chevrons are a designation of rank, and you can't see his collar because it's under the flak vest. And the sign says "LCPL" so that means he's a Lance Corporal, which is a US Marine Corps rank. Marines don't wear rank on their covers, I also don't believe they wear the branch insignia on combat covers such as the floppy hat, which is generic and goes to all branches (as opposed to their distinctive BDU cover).

His is a CIB. What do they give you good conduct for? Is it like that shit they give you in school for being a good child, or is it for being a good soldier?
Good conduct medals are given every third year of a tour, provided you don't have adverse actions (ie punishment) on your record. They are for being a good soldier, which is the same as "shit they give you in school for being a good child", more or less. Provided you're not a criminal or a constant fuck-up in the bad sense, you get one. Still no idea what that last award is, the two swords on the palm leaf. Is it a badge, or a medal? Medals have the ribbon material and then a metal dangly thing underneath. Badges are like the CIB or the Airborne qual-badge.

[scarpas]

Yeah, lovely way to win the support on the war front. And I think the kid needs to be in school learning how a Democratic government is 100 times better than a dictatorship that taught hate and vengeance against all western cultures. But thats just me talkin here.
