whats going on out there?

[Raven2367]

this is the first war i've heard of in which more people die of accident sand friendly fire than through bullets and bombs.
I mean
1. A helicopter crashed because of a sandstorm
2. Two helicopters colided
3. A british jet was shot down by a US patriot missile
4. Some GI threw a grenade in the allies tent.

And all this in the first 4 days of the war which means one fatal accident a day. this is strange!!

Its war Raven, crazy things happen. I do admit the gernade thing makes me mad as hell.
Still seems crazy to think we have all this technology and these thing occur.

My stepson just got word hes deploying Saturday.

All I have to say about it all is that my heart goes out to all who are affected, and the men over there defending my freedoms have my entire and unwavering support.

God Bless America!!!!

hmmm there where some REALY terrible pictures of US soldiers DEAD with blood coming out of their head and worse yesterday on TV. But as far as i know the US government wont let the US TV channels show them pictures. well its nothing I'd want anyone to see ether. it was terrible.    

[WardenMac]

Well they are showing some still pics of the scene but you cant tell any detail from them. Really pisses me off. POW my ass, dont get me started people.  

[Raven2367]

People die and bad things happen in war, unfortunately . The US media does try not to show the gory side, for obvious reasons, but here they still have it all on spanish channels. I was playing paintball with some of the boys a couple weeks back, one is an active duty Marine, he left for Kuwait this week.

Mac don't worry, any kid that can live with your ass can handle anything! lol

Hehe, thats what my wife says  . Lets just say Basic Training was nothing for him, he felt right at home, hehe.

Im very proud of him, my chest is sticking out a little more. God speed to all our troops, God bless them.

[Raven2367]

if it keeps going on like this it wont be too good I mean 18 of 23 british soldiers who died, died of friendly fire...

[Raven2367]

sounds strange but this kinda made me grin. Some Iraqi minister said that the american forces should give up straight away or the iraqi army will change iraqs deserts into an english american grave.......

how do they want to do that. bit hard if its ak 74s against L96, M4 LAM, Barret M82, L85.

On the other hand... might they have something realy bad hidden somewhere like ABC weapons...
