Consciously, Al Hazid could not determine how long he had blacked out for. He felt as if he were enveloped in a fog, through which the hellish sounds of explosions and screams tried to penetrate.The sight of fires and the the wreckage that lay scattered around nearly convinced him he had been damned. No he thought, as his senses returned to him, he hadnt been that lucky. Al Hazid felt completly detached from his body, as if he were merely observing his actions and not controlling them. He watched himself stagger from the hard pavement of the tramac and glance slowy around. The devestation the American aircraft had brought was total. What were once the finest tanks his nation had ever fielded were charred hunks of molten metal. As a tanker, he felt part of himself had died along with the steel beasts. As much as he would have liked to reflect, the sharp pops of m16s being brought to bear snapped him from his trance. He was a leader he reminded himself, and his place was with his men. Al hazid ran from tank to tank looking for survivors. His stomach tied into a great knot when he could locate not one man, only pieces.Ignoring his queasy bowels, he picked through the wreckage looking for a weapon.Shock had given way to Anger, and that anger was quickly transforming into a deep seated emotion he had felt for years, Revenge. So many young faces, comrades, lay buried in the deserts of his homeland. Sgt Ibraham Al Hazid, Iraqi Republican Guard, picked a kalashnikov from the wreckage and ran toward the fiting symbol of his hatred, an American helicopter, crash landed in the sand.

"Number 3 Tank has been Hit!", Al Hazid's gunner reported with a slight twinge of panic. Hazid quickly keyed his radio headset and called for number 3 to check in. " Our main gun is out of action, we are shaken but alive", the commander replied. Over the past 5 minutes Al Hazid had lead his platoon across the airfield and made contact with an american assualt force in the hills. frantic calls from the Iraqi militamen for armor support had led him there. Reving up their 1250 horsepower gas turbine engines, and firing their 125mm main guns and 7.62mm pkt machineguns, the 4 tanks of the platoon soon had the American pinned to the hill. Al Hazid smiled with staisfaction, for the first time, he felt victory was in his grasp.

Sgt Ibraham Al Hazid , Iraqi Republican guard, peered through the vision slit of his T80u tank. As Commander of tank number 1 in his platoon, Ibraham felt especially nervous. Waken roughly from a sound sleep, his commander quickly and hurriedly infromed him to get his platoon in gear and on the tarmac in 5 minutes. He had been given no other orders besides these. As a vetran of the bloody Iran iraq war and the subsequentr persian gulf conflict, Al Hazid counted himself lucky to have any warning at all. Fearing the worst, Al Hazid tried to encourage his men. "We have the best equipment our nation can bestow upon us, you men, are also the best. Do your duty." After mustering these words, Al Hazid took to scanning the nearby hills for signs of enemy activity through his tanks IR scope. Although any activty by the americans would be swift to say the least, Hazid wanted to get off at least one parting shot...he had lost far too many good men in these last 20 years. His radio cackled at him...it was a frantic deseprate cry, Risen by the local milita commander, to whom his unit was assigned."We have contact with the americans, they have landed by helicopter and are moving in from the north east." Sending up a quick prayer, Ibraham Al Hazada truned his full attention to the grim buisness of war. "We move to do battle...Allah ahkbar!."

The late terrorist was wanted for questioning after the USS cole was bombed in the territorial waters of yemen and he went into hiding shortly after. If you remember a couple of months ago a french oil tanker was attacked and once again he was suspected of masterminding it. Yemen has showed the US complete apathy in searching for him, so i guess they just got tired of getting ships blown up , and whacked him when they got the chance.

I personally would like to see a schwimmwagen, a german amphibious car used during ww2.make sure it floats too

In response to the whole war of 1812 post, i seem to recall, oh what was that battle...hmm....Oh yes New Orleans in 1815, 3,000 Brits killed to less than 20 U.S casualtys? yeah, and the war had been over for 2 weeks,,,

If the Ingram in the game does fire 9mm short, than it is the Mac-10, the M-11 is the rarer version in .45 acp.

I bought one surplus a couple of years ago and have worn in through 2 Northern IL winters. If you plan to wear it as a heavy jacket I suggest buying a liner for it.Without the liner it is suitable as a light/medium jacket. That said it was very warm with the liner, and is a good choice for durabiltiy.My dad still wears his occasionaly that he was issued in the 70s.

I have'nt heard anything of the war in Chechnya since the Russians basically wiped Grozny off the map, I was under the impression that the level of fighting had gone down, but that just might be the media's impression.
