Thank you once again my friend.

[jerri]

Now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day.

[jwh_Denver]

These are the "elite" RG troops? They look like ragbag POS losers to me.

Winners surrender, losers keep fighting.

[jerri]

I have never heard that one before.

[jwh_Denver]

Yeah, it was weird writing it but it's true for the Iraqis. LOL!

[shotgun]

This should be the caption of your first picture:

Iraqi citizens, imitating American sports, prepare to douse the winning team.

[green team 1999]

Surrender to the Coalition Force, Luke, before it's too late!

It almost looks like he must've gotten that helmet off a buddy that took a piece of shrapnel in his dome

Most helmets will stand up pretty well to shrapnel (shell fragments more properly), unless the wearer is so close the explosion that he'd be dead anyway. This is more likely the result of .308" persuader fired by a coalition sniper. Hardly any helmet, and most especiall not a steel pot, will hold up to a bullet from a full power rifle, or even an underpowered assault rifle, at least at reasonable ranges.

[El Gato]

Would you also like to see a "strike video" on this aircraft?

Most certainly not, that's a U-2, most likely USAF, just on loan to the UN inspectors. I suspect by now its wearing its original paint job and is back in USAF service. If not, we do want it back, ASAP.

[El Gato]

These look like WWII piss pots.

Yeah they do, but then again that's what we sent our troops to Vietnam in, 20+ years after WW-II.

God Bless them all!!

UN don't own any U-2s. Just like they don't own that C-130 Hercules that you wanted to see in a "strike video".

At least the C-130 might not be US, it might not even be a real C-130, but rather the commercial equivalent(L-100) . I suspect it is a C-130 though, but at least the C-130 is used by so many countries that there's a fair chance of this not being one of ours, the Brits or the Auzzies.

Only other country to operate U-2s was Republic of China (Taiwan) and I don't think they sitll have any, so the U-2 has to be one of ours.
