I serve in the military and I do think flag burning is a part of free speech. Free speech is not always comfortable to defend. Funny though its all relative same people who provoke the muslims over showing of Muhammed on the other hand think there should be a special law to protect the flags. I guess craziness is all just perspective. Lifes to short to get upset about so many diffrent things.

Pretty much true. Another perfectly crappy product sold by Raytheon to our careless goverment. You make more money in the long run if your system continues to fail but somehow stay alive thanks to some paid for political buddys.

Hes already replaced. The only thing significant about his death is the PR around it in America. I'm glad hes dead though, but one shouldnt exagerate the importance of his death there will always be someone there to take that someones place in that type of organization designed for such losses. I think the comment of trusting his fellow muslims isnt a fair one. Its a very black in white perspective of the muslim world. A good majority of the Sunni Insurgent groups would probably kill him if given the chance.

I dont think your mod is very correct on its accuracy of what the Marine Corps really has and uses. Isnt the CROWs weapons system only fielded by the Armys 4th ID so far, and I dont think the marines have the money to buy such a system. I've also never seen marines use 5 ton trucks (m923) only 7 ton trucks. RG-31 is only used by the Army also. Just a few things to point out, not trying to offend you. Thanks

Good answer, The wikipedia article was backed up by solid sources. He didnt seem like a guy with enough drive to make it through ranger school. Ive never seen a corporal ranger with pin on rank either and I have seen basic training push outs wearing it though. Thanks. About the WP, The source given above is a blog so its not to reliable of a source. Also in the foot note the author says that the military did use WP. The bodys with burnt flesh and intact clothes are obivious proof of this chemical weapon being used. The military saying that they used it for illumination is bull to, its like when your firing a 50 cal or larger at the enemy you not trying to hit him your just trying to destroy his uniform or weapon, he just got in the way. The mi.itary just wanted to use everthing at their disposal to avoid losses when the troops had to clear the town.They probably believe to that everyone left in the town was an insurgent which is obiviously not true beucuase many Iraqis stayed to protect their property from looting and destruction. Read bottom of paragraph three and for of this source. I know its not the best source but Im short on time in the sources they use are good. http://www.asil.org/insights/2005/12/insights051206.html

How do you know the first video is fake?

Nothing some portable stand or bi pod couldnt do. Ive never been sniper though so I dont know what would work better in real life.

I was just watching Fox News and found out that Baghdad is safer than Washington D.C. They showed me some numbers and I guess I should believe them. They can shovel the bull crap cant they! It was nice Republican congressman from Iowa presenting this information. Sad part is. People believe the crap thats on Fox News on a daily basis. I really dont like a media source so closely tied to the goverment. I think its really dangerous. This goes either way also Democrat or Republican adminstrations they all are just power hungy politicians.

If some does make some FMTV vehicles is would be cool to see a version of the uparmoured one that is is being used in Iraq.

The men that usually send us to war do not have any idea of the horrors that are war. The sad part to it all is that we all could be capable of such atrocities when placed in the same situation. War has just been glorified throughout history. Im just as guilty as Hollywood though, I mean this is an BIS furom in which they only make war simulator games which in my defense I mainly just download add ons and play around with them. by the way Bal they still think that trickle down econmics work even thought there has been no extra tax revenue creating are record setting national debt. If WWIII started from this situation they would still defend their decison. They are just greedy politicians.

The CIA officials are not of appoitee levels like George Tennet(who was awarded by Bush) and many of them served under the supervison of Bush Sr. They just love their country as I do and care. The CIA had such large fall out due the fact that these professionals knew how everthing was cherrypicked and when the Adminstration used the CIA as a punching bag it just added insult to injury to them. Once again you just try to neutralize these individuals as disgruntled partisans so you dont have to consider them in. Fox News is a propaganda source for this adminstration. That should be as clear as day. Adminstration officials almost exclusivly do their interviews on Fox News. I used to share almost the same views as you Shin and you obiviously a very intellgent person. I my views just have completly changed after serving in Iraq. Im not disgruntled either, I chose to re-enlist and I proud to serve and I think I can help soilders in a way that somebody else might not be able to. I just wish I could serve in a meaningful mission.

Im without doubt that the story of CBS crew getting killed would draw more attention anyways. When soilders die in Iraq it always gets very little attention anyways becuase people are now numb to the news and it really doesent grab their attention. To include shins comment about goebbels propaganda, what do thing Rupert Murduchs empire is up to(which he is now courting Hillary Clinton becuase her strong chance to win the 2008 election, who I dislike Hillary very much also). Shin you also have a strongly biased and nationlistic point of view. How many more CIA people would have to come out saying that the country mislead to war in Iraq by the adminstration. I mean all you have do is label anybody who says the adminstraton did this is a partisan idealog. I have no hidden motives in my caring for the Iraqi people. I've seen all the destruction done firsthand and as human I care. Their people to me not just crazy muslims like many of my fellow country men see them. We haved a damned if we do and damned if we dont situation in Iraq. We leave chaos will overcome the weak central goverment, and we stay the indigenous will hate us more and more everyday.

Nobody cares of all the Iraqis that have died due to the U.S. goverments decision to go to war. Oh well we don't have time to think of those people do we. They realy dont matter. For those who try diminish the value of those lost in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Remember that we did go to war over the deaths of over three thousand Americans and one county which had nothing to do with that event. P.S. Ive served two tours in Iraq and in my opinion which is not blinded by nationlist idealogy is the fact that jounalist do more to defend my freedoms than I do. They are the only ones who can keep goverments in check. But I guess if you believe the elite politicians really care about us so much you can just keep on believing it. Its so easy to be an idiot to make a punching bag out the media. Its the oldest trick in the book of attacking the messenger. The truth is that there is huge disconnect in between the regular Iraqis and coalition forces and there has been no media outlet to cover this becuase it is so dangerous and many have died by both insurgent and coalition forces trying to do this.

Why the PLGR I hate that thing so much in real life. I think it was state of the art in the 60's. Other than that its all good. Thanks alot.

Right with you on those commander MGs cameron

Quality Addon, I like the extra features. You should make a lil john unit to go with this jet. Don't forget the Krunk goblet if you do though.

Most modern tanks still have recoil if not all. The barrels wouldnt last without it. Know your facts. EDIT: Im just saying I wouldnt want to go into combat with guy who might be pointing a gun at me while hes running. Its just nobody with good military training would run like that unless they were in obstacle course.

I was dissapointed to see no canon recoil. I also agree with the running thing with the weapon pointing in the air. He Should be running with the weapon in somwhat ready position and also for saftey reasons weapon pointed at the ground. I wouldnt want to be around a guy who would run with his weapon like that. He would be a huge liability.

Yeah if I was stuck at Camp CedarII I wouldnt been bored out of mind too.

Watched it. First off the video is irrelavent becuase the facts and what occured during that day were not wieghed from an Unbiased view. They didnt answer any of things that dont add up. Only made fun of the ecentric conspiracy theorist. The point is there is a lot things that don't add up. Nobody including our goverment has been able to anwser these. Penn and Teller wouldnt throw away their careers anways by adopting anything that would make them look like deniers of what happened on 9/11 then whats already widely excepted as 100% fact. You just dont believe in something to make you feel comfortable.

That APC almost against the LST in the bottom picture seems to have lost its way.

So is there going to both Marines and Amry in ARMA becuase I've seen what looks like both ACU and Marine Desert pattern. Cobra, and M1a1s and no bradley so far. The only people who still also use the M1a1 as pictured in the pictures is the USMC and the Army National Guard. From my experience in Iraq most national guard armored units left their woodland camo when they were first deployed to Iraq. Thats about the only type of unit I ever recall having woodland camo and being M1a1. Also in the video did it looked like to me that pilots in the cobra were wearing kevlars. The m113 is still and will for a while be in use by the U.S. army also even though it offers as much protection on the sides as tin can. Cant complain to much though they did include the Stryker.

I watched both of videos and they are very poor in quality. Theres no way these videos will put down conspiracy theorist. With that in mind not much does add up about the Pentagon attack. Where were the wings? Why was the initial hole so small? In regards to NY attacks why did building 3 of the trade center collapse when it was just burning? Nothing like that has ever happened in modern history. Just valid questions. Why was the video held for so long? Wouldnt you think there was alot more security cameras at the Pentagon. But oh well its so much easy not to be labled crazy and just swallow what the goverment and the media give you. Same people who believe that there was WMD in Iraq. On a side note why the conservative talking head complaning about Chavez selling weapons to Iran. Reagan gave the countless American military equipment to fund his Iran Contras. It was held by Department of Defense (DoD) not the Department of Justice

Its not what would be right or what would make the most sense its all about who owns the most politicians. It almost crimianl the way goverments mismanage and also favor the contract that they've been lobbied to like. Well It could be a lot worse. Im US citzen and I get watch crooked politicians control and throw away billions of our dollars every year. No ones worse the the USA in this category. ex. Armys commanche(Cancelled), F22 fighter(overprice didnt live up to expectations but locheed martin always manages to get congress to buy) , B2, V22 osprey(still working on it), apparently the f119 engine for the JSF not good enough Roll Royce and GE to build other versions(P&W f119 is a great engine), the marines harrier is hardly ever cleared for flight status. etc. the list could go on forever. Â Â Dont worry either we paying for this on our credit card, look at a lovely tower of govermental debt.

To determine windage also you will need some kind of gauge to measure or estimate the wind. (Flags etc.) To answer the quesiton above me. Most modern tanks will adjust with laser range finder with information of ammo type. The system will automatically compensate and will. All the gunner has to do is point an pull. If you look at the end of Abrams barrel youll see a little peice that caculates this and all for barrel droop which happens after a tank fires a couple rounds. I read comment earlier about the range of rifles being only 1-300m and anything futher is waste of ammuntion. It is true that the 5.56x45 round will blow around in the wind. A decent shot however can dial in his rounds within 500m in my opinion. The army just limits the markmanship training to 300m for the the common soilder. In my final opinion I think that these real world sight adjustments would be just another amazing demision to ARMA and OFP
