Especially this one.

Why is the guy masked? Does he fear something? He might be from el-quaeda.
Anyway...pics like that makes me proud about my country.
Here is a pic from another REAL fearless soldier. She dont need to mask herself while having fun.

And this one you can make to your personal wallpaper.
Isnt it a 'beautyful' description whats about the word 'power'.

My prayers are with you.

one other thing ecke. finding the behavior of some reservists from a unit that had piss poor leadership from top to bottom to be indicative of american combat troops would be like considering you to be your average german citizen. a really stupid finding as im certain you have nothing in common with the germans ive worked with.

now be fair. these guys are obviously traumatized by a grown women seeing their torpedo. its also obvious that non subservient women disturb them greatly. there are certain "men" who can obviously empathize with these emotions in these situations and these "men" thus find the photos to be deeply offensive in a very personal way. :lol

i can see it now. "iran duplicates humiliation of abu g prisoners with us pow in example of 'turnabout is fair play'. from now on all male american pow will be stripped naked and softly assaulted by slightly cute moderately trashy female jailers. married component of socom announces intent to surrender to iran in near future." :)

in your "defence"  anonymous (dont get this the wrong way)..

I have been on alot of excercises with US Marines and Navy personel and they seemed very professional and serious to me. Only a very very few "gung ho" people.... no more than you find in any other military.

If I read correctly your post ,it's far worst than I thought.
Misled soldier can act like this , I can understand that even if I disagree ( remember  Algeria etc ...)

But reading your post you look to say : it's just a bunch of civilian wearing battle-dress
It just make me think that either the recruitement in the army got a pretty low quality or you have some weirdo in the US.

Anyway they are a dishonnor whatever uniform they would have wearing (including the French uniform ,I'm not targeting especially the US)

this post is neither a troll nor a flamebait.
If you need any clarification , just ask.
I done my best to translate my thought ...  but in English it's perhaps over simplified because of the translation.
 
In French my post it would have been very complex but clearer but none who have understood it :)

Are you whining about that pic Ecke? If you're so sensitive then why'd you post the prison pics?

ill clear it up for you you seem sincere. the single bat. repsonsible for almost all the stupidity there they are a disgrace to us military. idiots. all through the ranks. two other mp battalion working at other facility have sterling record in treatment of pow. my call was to turn over guilty mps to prisoners for a day or two and look the other way. this is war and they treating it like a freakin game. those pow are intel source you dont do anything that could spoil that source. the intel guys tell you what to do with regards to them and thats what you do. someday they could spill something that saves lives. ive taken enemy into custody that was trying to kill me a few minutes earlier. taken guys into custody that would have turned and killed me if i gave em the chance. sure i would have liked to kick their knee in before they were handed over but i didnt. im not unique. thousands of guys face same decision under same stress and do professional thing. these idiots faced easier decision under less stress and treated it like they making fries at the burger king. to bring these idiots up when discussing professional warrior in a tough fight shows eicke either dont have a clue about military or hes out to insult looking for a fight. i know a couple of guys in that big picture thread and theyve got nothing to do with some handsomehunked reservists from a rotten apple bat. they are insult to reservists theres some damn fine people working in reserves with more experience more trigger time than a lot of the active duty guys. so i say they have nothing to do with me the idiot mps. eicke makes the connection. i say eicke is a little obnoxious punk that doesnt have a clue. the germans i worked with were great guys. top of the line operators worked with them closely for a long time they are certainly my peers. when i think of germans i think of them. i think theyd be insulted if i considered eicke to be in the same group as them be it for attitude, demeanor, and so on.
