I think the Marines are going to go F&*K-UP some Talibans. OOOOO-RRRAAAAHHHH!!! Those SOB's HAVE IT COMMIN.

Whenever I see a Marine board up on a landing craft with his face painted like William Wallace then I know the Talibans ass is Grass.

What's that Marine carrying on his back in the first pic...the two tubes strapped to the sides of his ruck? AT4's?

[#12]

I don't think that those are AT-4's if my memory serves me correctly. How big is a Javalin?

On Nov. 25, 2001. The marines, forming the "raid force", took command of this airstrip, establishing a formidable U.S. military force on the ground in Afghanistan.

Dan, I get these photos from the news wires. Most of these pics are available for various news agencies to use but most will never be printed. I figure some folks here would appreciate seeing them before they get deleted forever.
