|
WTF?
|
|
|
I wonder why some of the US Soldiers are wearing the extra body armor (over the shoulders) and other are not? Mobility reasons? Availability?
|
|
|
No it ain't, it's a FAL. Al used an FNC, though the handguard does look like the FNC
|
|
|
Uh, looks like an FAL to me. |
|
|
Hopefully one who supports the insurgents. |
|
|
Shoot out in Nuevo Laredo??? Where's the "This Bullshit again?" pic???
For those of you in Rio Linda (heh), this is like, oh, I dunno, right across the border, and it is entirely possible that rounds fired could have landed on our side (it's that close.). This is the second major shoot out they've had down there in the last couple of years. |
|
Hopefully one from Al Jizz-eera? - BG |

Actually I think the soldier is aiming his weapon at the phtographer on purpose. Look at the name credited for that photo, Mohammed something. Soldier probably doesn't know if the guy is a terrorist or if he is just a photographer. |

|
He's special, dont make fun of him. |

|
