Another great story from Iraq we won't hear about in the mainstream media, it doesn't fit their template.
When that pipsqueak Sadr threw in the towel this week the LA Slimes headline made it sound as if he had brokered some kind of peace deal when in fact we have been killing his little army for a couple of months, perhaps he blinked eh?

Just goes to show:
With a sledge hammer, a rosebud and a pocket full of 7018 you can accomplish anything.
Hats off to the rod burner.
Welders do it with hot rods.........

I guess "gun box" is the *technical term* for that addition to the Humvee in that pic I posted in the thread a couple of days ago. ;-)

Yeah if I was looking down the barrel of that piece of freedom and saw one of our boys at that turret and was a terrorist. I would not only blink, but soil my shorts, run, play catch with my rpg that just bounce off the armor, etc...

Almost every military convoy going “outside the wire” encounters bombs, rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 bullets. What a frigg'n mess.

This is what made him blinkAmen to that. Maybe Allah is running short of virgins and asked Sadr to cool it for a while, LOL!

Gotta' love it. My only minor grip here is that could have happened at an Army -30 shop. The Army really needs to get back to performing more of its own heavy maintenance.

I see them ready to roll every a.m. on the way to DFAC for chow. They even look tough. The det screens really do work wonders.
Peace - to a point.

Frisco, Calif? If they are referring to my neighbors to the north where the 49ers play, the residents of the city by the bay are going to come unglued when they read this!

The Army really needs to get back to performing more of its own heavy maintenance.But we need more contractors on the battlefield. Maybe we can use the reclassed Ordnance soldiers to provide force protection for the maintenance contractors.

That's what they'll be doing. Untrained Infantry in an Infantry role.
