Seems like a never-ending war.

No 18 Hell yeah!

These are the kinds of pictures that you hope to see when the troops are deployed…

I didn't know the British were using multicam.

kent

Yup. Brits think it's their cool new camo, but it's been on the civilian market in the US for 4 years now.

Brits actually fielded it with some active duty troops a bit before we did though.

Feels good to see they get along with the natives at least some of them.
chris

can anyone explain to me why the US flag is mirrored on most shoulders?

mark

its backwards to signify they will always be running towards the fight and never retreating

chris

thanks
Jimmy

The American flag on a soldiers camo while in combat should always be facing/flying left and also what mark said is the reason it should always be facing/flying left

Picture #10 from the Brigade on the 23 November. Nothing like a hot sexy woman with a sexy under boob shot and a gun in her hand. Who is she?

To all of the men and women of our Armed Forces that are away from home, hearth, and family today; I say Thank You for your service, and thank you for preserving our freedom.

Please come home soon and *safe!*
Josh

Is the Canadian in #10 the biggest man on earth? Yowsa…
David Sheppard

No disrepect to the individual soldiers – but if America didn't butt into every other country's business the world would be a better place. Go home Yankees.

Guest

Butt into? May have gone to Iraq on our own, but not alone, but are staying at their request.
Vietnam – Asked to assist.
Korea – BEGGED to assist.
WWII – Tried to stay out, got attacked anyway.
Panama – Their GOV. was SHOVING drugs into the U.S.

What are you exactly are you talking about?

jaime

exactly

Yeah, if the US didn't butt into every other country's business, your country wouldn't exist right now. Funny that right? Because when the US doesn't intervene, people realize they can't do anything without us.

There are 19 functional democracies in the world that are only that way because of the US. There are at least a dozen countries who are entirely dependent on the US for defense. Right now the Korean issue is stirring. South Korea, a functional, prosperous country, would not exist right now if the US didn't get involved in other countries' business.

When the US gets involved, people whine. When the US doesn't get involved, people whine.

Winston Churchill coming to the US and making no less than 30 speeches begging Americans to come rescue Europe comes to mind.

Words cannot express the gratitude and pride I feel for those men and women in arms over there in constant danger…come home safely guys!
Coldzilla

Man that is one HUGE Canuck!

Love #17

#23 breaks my heart.

Respect to all

That is one big moose headed mofo in #10!!!

Vietnam… UN mandate to protect South Vietnam from North Vietnam. Proved unsuccessful, we won militarily but lost because we left and didn't come back. 2 years after we were gone the communists took over… proving what happens when the US doesn't get involved

Korea… UN mandate to protect South Vietnam. Successful. South Vietnam is one of the most successful democracies in the world, and is that way because of the US.

WWII… We weren't there? Funny, because last time I checked the US did more than you Brits did in your own backyard. The allies were losing before the US joined. Funny though how you say we were needed but didn't show up in WWII but we shouldn't have intervened in other wars that were basically the exact same. Funny how selective you are.

Thanks for proving that people will whine about the US no matter what. Morons like you are a perfect example of how anti-Americanism is a mental disorder where people resort to the most insane double-standards.

"How dare America get involved!"
Next breath
"Why didn't America get involved!"

You idiot. Jealousy must be hard thing to cope with, isn't it?
David Sheppard

Excellent response.
I am a moron and an idiot? Attacking the person and not the answer. So long as you attack – national trait – see above.
Assumptive as well – I am a New Zealander.
The stupendous ego of Yanks – "Jealously must be a hard thing to cope with."
With that as a national attribute – and it is – you don't stand a chance.

HellHath NoFury

You can give back our tourist money, the money from filthy Yanks that keeps your drunken, debt-filled tourist trap open, since most of you won't work.

!!!

Ungrateful bitches! Germans are not involved in combat with ISAF in Afghanistan, The Netherlands and Canada (and Britain but there are flags) are fighting and dying and not a dutch nor canadian flag in the piece of trash. Next time you start a fucking war and then abandone it to the few unwilling allies that are willing to help, go fuck yourselves.

kent

"abandone"?

The US abandoned the war? Funny, the US is the only ISAF country to engage in combat in the last 4 months. The US is doing probably 95% of the fighting and dying. Even considering relative size of the US compared to other countries, the US is still taking a disproportionate burden.

gfsdg

Oops thers one……
David Sheppard

Heh – excellent! Such mature and sophisticated arguments.
Can you tell me the address of the – "drunken, debt-filled tourist trap" please? It sound like a fun place.

#21 an American and a Finn?

the presence of US soldiers in Afghanistan is illegal. They are all war criminals and should be prosecuted. Who ever posted this ridiculous propaganda should grow up.
Cameron

I forgot to mention the obvious mentioning of New Zealand in my post above, it is for Mr David Sheppard, who in a later post informs us of his nationality

why won't the states get all soldiers back to home with their families and stop kicking the world in the balls with yer shithead capitalist warfare. world's has nothing to thank to the pigs…

Glen

al qaeda flew 2 planes into the tallest buildings in America at a time that would have the most people in those buildings and it had been in planning for years, the last time someone did that was Japan in '41 and i'm sure your chilean @$$ knows how that ended…..oh and your welcome for drilling your miners out and its funny that u call us capitalist pigs but when i go to your twitter page you follow dana white, strikeforce, and other American fighters, you hippocrate

David Sheppard

Hippocrate? Is that a cross between a hypocrite and Hippocrates?
Or are you just thick?
Maybe it is a horse in a box? Nah – too subtle for a yank…
