Thanks for these threads, Dio. I know HTML and I know how time consuming something like this is. I have recruited about a dozen people to Free Republic with these resources. We're seeing pictures that we won't see in any of the mainstream media sources. Your "Gotta' See This" threads are a priority for me every time you put one up!

God bless our troops overseas who are generating the content of your work!

Is that a scope on that Ma Deuce? Wasn't that a Gunny Hathcock trick?

Great job! Love this series. Better than any network news.

America, America, God shed his grace on thee.

What is wrong with the media?

They cover mainly --or only-- defeatist talkers and antiwar rallies.

I don't see how these people can hate President Bush more than I hated Clinton. I had nothing but the greatest support for our troops even under Clinton's misdirection and NEVER would have made derogatory remarks about them or their actions. I also would have NEVER attended an anit-America rally.

I just don't get it.

Stay safe; stay armed,
Eaker

Is this a Coast Guard boat?

An RAF loadmaster in a Puma helicopter aims his general purpose machine gun on an Iraqi truck as soldiers of the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment carry out vehicle searches for weapons in southern Iraq Sunday, March 30, 2003. Paratroopers patrol the skies and are able to drop a platoon of men onto the road or desert track ahead of a car to facilitate the random stops.

Thanks for the great pics! Is is heartwarming to see what our troops are doing to secure the Peace! I'm also glad that the Pro Troop rallies are getting coverage here, if not in the Liberal Press!

My son and I look forward to your pics everyday! Keep up the good work we appriciate it.

I look forward to your posts. I share them everyday with my co-workers. Thanks from GA!

That is an unusual looking rifle.

Check out the barrel of the M-60 in that photo. Somebody did some serious rock-n-roll with it.

What a great post! Lots of good pictures, and an excellent point, besides! WHERE IS THE MEDIA IN THEIR COVERAGE???

And they wonder why people are going to Fox. It doesn't take a rocket scieintist to figure this out.

Undated but recent image released Sunday, March 30, 2003, of a British soldier of 2CS enjoying a cup of tea with an Iraqi man near Basra, southern Iraq.

It took a lot of time to make this post and it was volunteered.

I'm sure it did... you've really outdone yourself today, Diogenesis! Beautiful collection of photos and captions... THANK YOU!

For those who haven't seen this... it is great:

And these are some great pics that might not be new, but have stuck with me...

Very cool shot:

Don't miss this one today!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ping list.

Your stories show more and say more than any or all other war coverage. I wouldn't miss one of your posts! Thanks for your good work.

Thank you, Diogenesis, and the other nameless volunteers. Really appreciate your effort and time. Photo selections and the captions are terrific.

That picture of the man gnawing at the flag is so bizarre it looks comedic.
