Looks like an M95

http://www.break.com/index/what_really_happens_pallywood.html An interesting take on some of the things we see on TV everyday coming out of the Middle East.  Kind of makes you wonder if anything is genuine anymore...

Yup, its motivation for me at least to get my tour to Afghanistan.  and a solid reason for our brothers already there to fight.  :salute:

I was just wondering if any of our American brothers can give some info on the length of the work up training US forces get before heading to Iraq.  I was curious to see if it was as long as the work up training for A-Stan. Thanks in advance.

A very disturbing video concerning a 9-11 call on 9/11.  I can't even begin to imagine what this caller was going through, especially the last few seconds of the video, but it is a clear reminder of why we are where we are and why we fight who we are fighting.  If this is in the wrong forum...

RIP Brother.  :salute: Get well to those injured  :salute: Canada is proud.  :cdn:

Situations like these are nothing new.  They happened a few times in the past and even caused deaths at one point.  A few years ago there was even a clash at sea. What makes the situation more dangerous now is the North's nuclear arsenal.

Then one would have to ask.  Would the cost have been that great for the IDF to engage the fighters using the UN post a shield, or is their destruction of it justified?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if the enemy is attacking from a protected building, isn't the opposing army supposed to neutralize said enemy with the minimum amount of collateral damage possible? (ie: take the building as opposed to leveling it)

That’s true, although speaking to a buddy of mine who returned from Lebanon not too long ago, a lot of people have not been heaving to the warnings to leave.  The roads are too badly damaged and public transportation is non existent in that part of the country right now, and many are afraid to...

Since when were your average Lebanese civilians blowing themselves up every day in Israel?

I knew someone would eventually say that.  I respect Georges experience very much.  I am still entitled to my own opinion. His initial ROE's made a lot of sense, but they didn't take into account an IDF attack should Hezbollah get in a few more cheap shots on the way out. Then he mentioned...

Much of it yes. But unfortunately, you are not responsible for issuing said ROE's so it's all just speculation on your part.  But your right.  I was very vague with my post.  It should have read "I wonder what the ACTUAL ROE's will be like given the nature of the proposed mission. Yes, I...

I'm just curious as to what the ROE's will be like.  Say for instance Hezbollah sneaks through the buffer zone and launches an attack on Israel, or they launch a few rockets over the buffer zone, then what? What if Israel wants to retaliate?  Is NATO to draw their guns on the incoming IDF, or...

But at what point do you stop and say "wait, if we destroy too much of the infrastructure, we are causing more than just a little collateral damage" Israel can drop as many bombs as they want. These bombs have caused the loss of  200+ civilian lives so far and there is no sign of letting up, so...

How early are you on your course?  On my BMQ we had a few characters who were lazy and would never help out the team.  We all paid for it.  A little more into the course and a lot more collective punishment, they finally came around.  The only advice I can give you is don't let this make you...

I used to use a Casio with an indiglow back lit.  It was great, but then I lost it on an exercise. Since then, I bought the CADPAT watch band from CP Gear, and decided to go with the Trooper watch they had for sale there too. The watch broke the first time it got wet, but the watch band lives on.
