Looks like the air bags broke the surface, then water or brine came up and refroze.

I wonder. Does fine powder act this way when it's pressed and dragged?

Looks like smooth impressions on a moist granular surface.

I shouldn't complain. God knows we are trying to convince the world that WE are the civilized side fighting against barbarians, but damn it, if I had lost one of my buddies to an RPG and my patrol happened upon a guy carrying an RPG tube, I very seriously doubt he would live long enough to surrender.

And if he happened to have 5 of his buddies with him, tough.

Even more disturbing, however, is the continued reminder that an RPG can defeat Bradley armor. I know this has been talked out in other threads, but this needs to be fixed ASAP. An RPG is not an expensive weapon. There are a lot of them around.

I am SURE I posted this reply on the thread for the RPG attack that killed a U.S. Soldier.

How it got on the Mar's thread, I have no idea.
