JERUSALEM - Israeli troops on Monday in southern Lebanon shot two Hezbollah guerrillas during a clash in southern Lebanon, the army said. The army said the soldiers opened fire after guerrillas approached the force in a "threatening manner." It identified hitting two of the three militants in the group.

The clash underscored the fragility of a week-old truce that ended 34 days of fighting. Israel is keeping troops in southern Lebanon until Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers take up positions.

Don't you know the Marines are itching for revenge for the barracks?

I am so disgusted with Olmert. Liberals are such hand-wringing traitors.

US President George W. Bush, seen here, has called for the urgent deployment of an international force in Lebanon as a UN truce that halted 34 days of warfare between Israel and Hezbollah hung by a thread.(AFP/Paul J. Richards)

Does the helmet cover break up the shape of the helmet in order to camouflage the soldier?

What is it for, specifically?

Helmet covers serve several purposes. 1. Can be changed quickly to a color/pattern that matches the terrain you are heading into. 2. Cloth is quieter when brush is dragging across it. 3. Slits in cover will hold small plants as added camouflage. 4. Protects the paint on the Kevlar helmet. 5. Better to wipe your nose on then the hard helmet. 6. Enables soldier/marine to felt tip obscene names and slogans onto cover and then replace it with a new one when NCO or Officer spots his artwork.

Thanks for answering for me.
BTW, Wifee and I just got back from watching WTC and we are in a Jihad hating mood that overpowers our Christian upbringing.

The past form of transportation is the present and future form.

This is what 7th Century Arabism brings to the to people.
