Except we never did join it against the Chechen branch of Al Qeida. (except to wail and moan as to how the Russians should stop all military moves against them)

WE still side with them,, in full knowledge that they are fully connected to the ones we briefly fought before switching to nation building.

But i better be quiet, some people call it unpatriotic to point out things like how we are supporting, and itching to fight on the side of, the same Syrian rebels who just swore allegiance to Al Qeida.

And it’s downright forbidden to remind anyone that they are bankrolled by the Saudis (in exchange for not doing it there of course).

Good video, but that guy at 1:37, shooting the flamethrower was in a USMC uniform, circa WWII. Camo helmet cover, on a US pot. Herringbone uniform, leggings and humping an M2A1 flamethrower.

Judging from the photo, i guess he’s a reinactor.

Probably, not my video, but most of the pics are from the First Chechen War.

Endless FReepathons
Do you Know Why?

There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?

1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.

Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

Support It Or Lose It

But it’s a fine video. I can live with 3 seconds of dramatic license in a 5 minute video.

Fear the Russian Hammer. If you take fire from a village, flatten the village.
