Christ, talk about under-equipped... the iraqis were using a pink Toyo pick-up as their answer to a tank...
(with a machine gun strapped to the top, nonetheless)

Aaron Brown cannot shut up to save his life. Actually, none of them can. For once they have some real live video footage, not lame-ass 2 fps web-cam sh!t, and they're doing their best to ruin it.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T JUST TAKE ONE OR TWO OF THE TANKS AND RAM DOWN THE BUILDING THAT THE IRAQIS ARE HELD UP IN AND BLOW THEM TO SMITHERINES?

Because they don't know what "building" they are in.

To give them a last chance to surrender. Also they don't know what's behind the building and in the distance (there's a suspicion of T55 tank)... Though a T55 tank is not a threat to the US army tanks, they just don't want the unnecessary risks (as the General in CNN's studio said)...

Sounds like that missing British plane may have been shot down by a US PATRIOT MISSILE!

WTF?? Are we a bunch of MONKEYS or something???????

We crash a transport helicopter during a TRAINING exercise...no combat
TWO British helicopters collide and kill everyone
One of our OWN US soldier frags a fellow soldier and wounds 12 others
WE SHOOT DOWN a friendly RAF Tornado!!!!!!!
Or tanks and land transports are breaking down


WTF???????????????????

They obviously don't have your expertise in managing their systems. The only thing for you to do is to enlist in the Marines and show them how to conduct ther operations.

looks like friendly deaths will outnumber regular ones, guess we need to increase defence spending since our current crap isn't getting the job done, no one is suppose to die other than some iraqi military and civilians.

Yeah it's obvious but also casualties have been expected from allys... You new to that concept of war (since you want all Marines returned safely)?


It's wrong addressing civilians as casualties as it's happening directly imho...
