The Eotech is designed for CQB, hence no magnification required. For longer work get a Short Dot, ACOG, or slap a magnifier on the rail behind the Eotech.  As for durability, the Eotech can take as much abuse as any other battery operated combat optic out there, maybe you recieved a bad lot...

The Ammarah takeover is not alone, they also took a few other places like Hamzah-20 km SE of Al Hillah and Sawelah(?) (have no idea how that one is spelled or wtf it is exactly). A few weeks ago I got a local newspaper article translated and it was an announcement by Sadr that the openly armed...

Colonel Salaam, commander of Hilla SWAT was a local hero who fought the Mahdi and didn't let politics get the way of battling crime and terrorism. He was extremely supportive of the democratic process in the south central region and provided reinforcements & supplies without question. Several...

Most Iraqis with jobs buy a satellite dish as soon as they get a bit of $.  I've seen anti terrorism commercials on arab TV here.  There are even TV shows with the Iraqi police going after terrorists. Then again, I've also seen sermons from terrorist leaders broadcasted on the Arab media...

Getting information in Iraq is just a matter of spreading the right amount of money around in the right places.

Mahdi & Badr are just as if not more destabilizing than the insurgents.

Someone just came to my room to figure out what I was laughing my ass off about...

RIP.  :salute:

There's also a massage parlour that offers "full body massage" in the small camp that is just down the street North West of the IZ PX.  The Chinese restaurant used to have a massage upstairs....hottie did the legit massages....an *older* one gave the happy endings ;D  Not sure if it ever...

Now don't be forgetting to mention the massage parlour and liquor stores, it's not all gloom and doom here!  :blotto:

Managed to procure any mk 262 in the IZ yet Wes or just going to stick with ss109?  If you're riding in the family hatch might you might want to trade for a belt of 5.56AP to turn cars off... +1 on all the debunking of the BS that was posted ref 5.56

Thanks for the AARs, good reading and good job! +1 on the concussion grenades. If you can trade for some from the US guys, they are designed for confined spaces, and they are lighter to carry than a frag. *Still looking for a contract that involves calling in JDAMs and fragging rooms  :crybaby:

I LOVE the PKM. Currently I'm having a para PKM machined with RAS and railed topcover, 16" barrel... Should be ready in a couple months.

Has it ever been suggested to "surge" our forces during the summer months when the enemy is in greater numbers instead of keeping our same numbers year round? Perhaps bring over an extra infantry battalion for a short two month tour for a major op like Medusa.

Where can we watch these recruting ads online?

Why would a Brit be wearing a US desert uniform?

A warzone is the soldiers workplace...where else should he use his kit? Obviously you should try the item out on the range before using it on missions, but that can be done in theatre if needed.  Often it's only when you get overseas that you realize you need a particular piece of kit or...

If nobody pushes the envelope by using unauthorized but effective kit/weapons, nothing will change.  New developments in kit aren't pushed from the top down, they start from the individual soldier coming up with a better way of doing things.  Look at how well the C7A2 and TV turned out...
