July 1, 200322 yr Yay!I'll probably be playing quite a bit more by next week!I might even post a few of his "War Stories". Maybe some of the 500 pictures his unit took. So far most of it has been damn hilarious.
July 1, 200322 yr Author He was with the 101st Airborne as an Apache pilot and Crew Cheif.He made it back ok, but 15 pounds lighter and a semi-permenant sunburn.I don't get it...all the REMFs (support personell :wink: ) have KFC, Burger King, Taco bell, a mess hall that server 4 meals a day, a coffee shop and showers....while the actual combat troops sit in tents (or just a sleeping bag) in the middle of the desert and eat 2 MREs every day... There were like 4 showers, which consisted of buckets with shower-heads attached, and your toilet was a hole in the ground. WTF? They couldnt fly some good food 30 miles from where the REMFs are getting fat to help feed the combat troops (who all got the shits, one nearly died from dehydration).Grrrr....I don't even want to talk about the crappy equipment they got *cough* the M9 *cough*.

July 1, 200322 yr Author Considering my rather negative attitude towards The Invasion you might do well by thinking about posting these where i can see them...... You know im gonna oppose everything....... You are opposed to pictures of Iraqi's waving at Helicopters flying by? Or the Sheep herder who lived next to the base? (They bought a lamb from him and made it the unit mascott, named it LUOFY The lamb, Military guys will get that joke ) Or pictures of the latrine about to explode... or 100+ soliders lined up as far as the eye can see all urinateing? (long bus ride) Theres nothing remotely offensive in any of the pictures.
