[Billthedrill]

Dang it - when I wuz in, we din't have nuttin' like that...

[LibKill]

Dio, outstanding post! I salute you.

May this war be short and victory secured.

[LibKill]

Holy cow! Ghurkas!

The Brits are holding nothing back.

I'd really hate to have those tough little guys with their big Ghurka knives coming after me.

[EverOnward]

As always, you capture it all. Thanks.

[dagnabbit]

Great pics - great thread.

Way to go USA - and UK!

[meyer]

Awesome firing pictures!

The only problem I can see with this beautiful doctor is that I'd be tempted to shoot myself in the butt just to get a chance to visit her!!

[Britton J Wingfield]

Grenada? Pffft. I singlehandedly won every bar fight in Subic Bay, then shovelled all the ash back into Mt. Pinatubo.

[Britton J Wingfield]

I can just imagine her uttering those five lovely words, "Turn your head and cough."

[Ligeia]

Simply incredible. Thank you for putting these threads together. They are so greatly appreciated.

[Samwise]

May God continue to bless America.

[Spruce]

[SShultz460]

rofl! Awesome Picture

[skeeter]

LOL! Where can I find a life-size version of it?

[CyberAnt]

I love the picture of the soldier giving a drink of water.

It's magnificent! The contrast is amazing - A highly trained military man who is human enough to give his enemy a drink of water. Liberals do not understand WHO WE ARE.

[Wolfstar]

Ah, the B52: among the greatest aircraft in the history of flight. I salute the American ingenuity which designed and built it. I also salute all members of our Armed Forces, the British and Australian Armed Forces. God bless and keep them, every one.

[McGavin999]

Those are some happy looking POW's. They're probably so relieved to see this thing start so they can go home.

[Wolfstar]

WOW!!! That is one hellacious scene. I'd say that's the best visual representation of 'shock and awe' I've ever seen.
