1st Infantry Division Iraq Handbook (4MB Adobe Acrobat .pdf file)

SIRI-US ^

Hope this item is worthy of its own posting.

The Army teaches you how to fight a war. Libs think it's important for you to know how to do it without offending anyone.

God, I despise liberals; they screw up everything.

Should this be on the Internet for the whole world to see?

[LibWhacker]

I haven't read the whole handbook yet. But what I have read so far seems fairly harmless (except for being a monumental waste of time for our troops).

[IamHD]

I'm with you.

My thoughts exactly. Do the right thing, Lib_Whacker.

I saw the 'unclassified' part on the front cover so I think it's okay. You're right. The liberals don't want anyone to know how things REALLY are going. Just today I got a customer who heard the Bush press conference playing on the store radio and he called Bush a bumbling stupud idiot. I smiled :) *LOL*

I guess if it's out there, then it's already been read by those we don't want reading stuff like it. I read it and it did say 'unclassified' but I just wonder why the media is so free with information.

That website that links to the manual seems to be a little too much 'informational' for my taste. Maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight *LOL*

[LibWhacker]

Should I ask the moderator to pull the thread? Look through the table of contents for the manual. No secrets there. The IED stuff . . . I don't know. Apparently they come in an infinite number of guises already.

But I'll ask the moderator to pull it if you guys think I should.

I haven't read the manual. It's really up to you.

Go here: http://www.adtdl.army.mil/atdls.html and then go here: http://www.1id.army.mil/1stInfantry/links.htm

It's also available on http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/2003/1id_iraq_soldier-handbook.pdf

Nothing to it - it's a consolidation of all the information available on Iraq and the situation they're heading into -

Punch in a PDF url HERE and you can read PDF files online without a download.

FWIW, I have no problem with this being posted.

[cyborg]

Okay good... phew!

[LibWhacker]

The real danger is it makes our troops look like wimps . . . I mean, how not to offend an arab if he comes up to you and plants a big juicy kiss on your nose, lol!

The IED stuff . . . We've seen a lot of it before.

I think it'll be okay, SC. But I'm glad you brought it up!

[demlosers]

Yeah, it's harmless. A PDF in-country Intro. briefing.

Wonderful tool!

Thanks for the link!

"Maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight *LOL*"

Hey, I've got one of those too!

[LibWhacker]

NOW I know why we got rid of that silly old saying about the customer always being right! :-)

And thank goodness I took my garlic-vitamin e pill for the blood pressure earlier :-)
