Okay, but what about house to house and civilians caught in the middle? Autopsy's? What if there are no expended rounds inside the body? How can you tell this?

Not talking about that amigo, I mean fatal gunshot wounds, since most fighting going on is house to house, how would they know? Especially if they had exit wounds and no trace of caliber.

How would they know who killed how? Examining the gunshot wound and round left inside the body?

Mines hit treads and can damage the bottom hull, but mines are not 150-500lb bombs either.

Ofcourse they are strengthening their attacks, and Bradley's are armored ofcourse, but the bottom of the hull is weak, severily weak, our military has never seen IED attacks so frequent so they probably didn't feel the need to upgrade certain parts that are infact IED targets. So what if we are seeing a shift in attacks from Humvees to the Bradley IFV? He was just correcting you, calm down a bit, don't take everything we say as another chance to start an argument.

Hey ladies and gents, I recently switched computers and installed all of my OFP AddOns except for one. Someone gave me a zip file with a huge compilation of vietnam era addons for OFP with updated config and classes. If anyone knows of a link where I can get it or has it and has MSN, then please feel free to contact me. Wilco

From a soldier stationed in Mosul, Iraq:

Have it already, and this was everything, every nam era addon.

I love how you try to exploit our president with little uneccasary comments  , it makes me giggle. I'm glad that I'm returning the favour as I am often very amused by your regular posting of unadulterated propaganda Propoganda? If you mean by the stories and pictures, that isn't propoganda, I see so much negative things about how the U.S. isn't supposed to be in Iraq and how soldiers aren't doing their job right, what is that called?  Your stories and my stories are factual, and that is all. please let me know when Army news admits that some of its soldiers are less than courteous to the Iraqi citizens. if both of your stories are factual, then why is it that some others would call CNN a propaganda machine? Oh I know soldiers mistreat civilians, that's common in most wars, it's nothing new. Why doesn't reuters/unbiased sites post stories of positive things soldiers do?

why don't you, Sputnik, Billybob seldom, if ever, post negative news about Iraq? the situation is still a work in progress despite TBA's claim nearly 2 yrs ago. If it was to be what TBA tried to sell, the US troops would be out of the country by now, instead of loosing 1000 troops, and many more due to injuries. Because that job is already filled on this forum.

I'm posting stories that are reported by accredited media that has a goal of showing an unbiased picture of what is going on in Iraq. There is a lack of positive stories, because there is very little positive to say. We're looking at a situation in Iraq where dozens of people are killed each day, where the resistance has turned into more or less open warfare, 100,000+ civilians have died and the situation is getting worse by the day. In this context, you're posting a story about two Iraqi soldiers helping a wounded US soldier. It's like when reporting on the sinking of the Titanic to talk about how Mrs. Peters had a lovely evening dress! For each of these micro-level positive stories, you are forgetting that there are countless more micro-level tragic stories. The situation overall is so bad that it's quite pointless to report such small-scale stories concerning individuals. That's why you won't find people here posting the tragic mircro-level stories: of individual losses, of families destroyed etc So as far as content goes, the things you post are not worth anything. As for style goes, they are impeccable, and that's why I enjoy them. And that's because you choose blatantly biased sources with an overt agenda - for instance the "Army News Service". Their mission is not to report unbiased news - their goal is to improve morale i.e propaganda. Personally, I enjoy reading it as it is so direct and so transparent that it's in class with cold war Soviet propaganda. Being serious about this, where do you get your stories from? www.reuters.com? Ofcourse there are going to be countless more stories of tragedies then positive ones, it's war, war is a tragedy in itself, but stories of Marines helping out local schools is biased? Sure it's used to boost morale, but it's fact that we are helping out Iraqi people in time of war by rebuilding schools and whatnot. You can call it a "micro-level" positive story, but what do you expect? War isn't positive, and I'm sure those guys are doing their best to help out the civilians over there. I don't forget the "micro-tragic" stories, I hear too many tragic stories every day on the news yet nothing positive, I felt like changing the routine and trying to add something positive, but I see noone wants these stories to have a place here. By the way, god damn I hate your sarcasm.

It's about the sources. Army News Service? Hardly an unbiased or serious source, especially during a time of war. You won't find me posting equivalents from the other side (Al Jazeera editorials, Mudjahedeen News Service,..whatever) Don't take me wrong, I don't want people to stop posting such material. It's really a hillarious read because it's so transparent and so reminiscent of cold war Soviet propaganda or current official communiqués from North Korea. It has a nostalgic, almost cult quality not to mention that it serves as a reminder how little things actually change over time. I enjoy those posts for aesthetic reasons, not for their content. It's about the style of the desperate denial of the reality on the ground. And the fact that Wilco posts these things without a hint of sarcasm or any reflection at all, makes it even better. National Guard. As the name implies, to guard the territorial integrity of the US. They're "weekend warriors", not professionally trained soldiers. The shit they are asked to do in Iraq is not what they have been trained or equipped for. Cut them some slack. Why don't you post any news/stories that is positive towards the U.S.? Why is it always faults and miscalculations of the U.S. War effort in Iraq?

Exactly, god forbid anything like that, because we do nothing positive to help the Iraqi people, nothing at all.

I love how you try to exploit our president with little uneccasary comments  , it makes me giggle.

Your stories and my stories are factual, and that is all.
