    The Iraq thread 3

    The world wasn't built over good intentions. In this situation the US has to do what IS right, not what they think is right, slight nuance there, and to do so, listenning to what the others have to say and taking things from different perspectives might help ... going on the same path the US government and military followed until then won't help and will just degradate the already awkward situation.

    The Iraq thread 3

    Ran, I think he talking about the 35 Roland missiles found at Baghdad International Airport last April. Also, Australians found some at a airfield. So what ? Do you have any idea of the ammount of heavy weapons smuggled worldwide yearly ?

    The Iraq thread 3

    Were you expecting Europe to counter attack the US to protect Iraq? Or am I misreading your question. No I expect europe to help fund the operations and not insult the USA. It's funny how one's motives of not going into iraq might not be ... different http://www.heritage.org/Research/MiddleEast/wm217.cfm Help fund the operations? I don't see that as helping Iraq, I see that as helping a US puppet state at best. And it sets an example for attacking and overthrowing foreign governments to install your "liked" version of them. After all, first you destroy, then EU pays to rebuild your "friendly state". Come on, are you really that full of it. So what, is france going to keep on selling weapons to iraq to? If europe wants to help, they should have sent troops of their own, and not sent money to iraq. Now they weapons they gave to iraq, are now being used agiast us. ...

    Field Gear

    For me it's a combo of SASS clothes with an Arktis Alice vest or Molle-Strike vest when working in European envirronment (if anything, I still have my old Arcadis and got my hands on an Elite one). All these goodies are in french C/E camo. When going in some sandy/Dusty place, I have my "taylor-made"" flightsuit in french desert camo with a tan Molle-Strike system (from blackhawk). When I need a relatively discrete look, I have several 5.11 clothes sets from Royal Robbins. I'm going to try out a set of Chiruca boots on my next go, but from the time i've spent wearing them in "normal" condition they seem quite comfy and relatively good at what they've been ment for. Not much to comment about those since they fit me quite well in my opinion, I'll have to comment on the Molle though : My friends who got to actually use first generation Molle gear had a pretty bad opinion of it. The appearance of the Molle-Strike or Molle II changed the opinion of most of the people I know, and it's getting more and more popular, the only backdraw with it being that it doesn't exist in french C/E or daguet camo as far as I know (yes, I like to keep some coherence in the color of my gear , but as long as you have access to Black Green and Tan, it's not much of a problem).

    The Iraq thread 3

    You disgust me. What kind of filth must you be to celebrate somebody else's death? You will never find me wishing or cheering on the death of anybody. Maybe it's different in France. It was just irony dear gentleman ? Did I celebrate anyone's death ? Did I wish anyone's death ? <span style='color:white'>I could wish yours if ever you don't cut the crap</span>...

    1. Yes, allways, I don't see myself wearing combat boots or intervention shoes at home. (and when i was a kid, my mother would have been able to behead me if ever I didn't leave my shoes at the door if i was coming from outside) 2. Yes, mainly for mission editing,a few things for the military humor thread and a few addon readmes and interesting posts concerning these same addons
