That must be the case, Blaire and Bush tell us so.

the barret is known as an anti material weapon
that thing can be used to stop artillary peices and render soft vehicles (like jeeps) useless in just 1 shot
the brits have recently made there own version of an anti-matirial rifle

I've just read thro' this car-crash of a thread and can't quite believe the content.

All is NOT fair in war and just because the enemy violates a multitude of stipulations, doesn't mean that we have to do the same. If they prove themselves to be callous murderous bastards then why follow suit. They gunned down your comrade in cold blood but be the better man and treat his captured comrades with dignity. There is no advantage to be gained by being equally inhuman.

Apart from anything else, it isn't like a tactic we have to use to demoralise the enemy forces. What's left of them, anyway.

I totally agree with Dave's posts; I don't buy into this eye for an eye shit.


Btw, that pic of the suicide bomber and his supposed killer - the soldier is pictured in Kosovo (does the scenery even look like Iraq :blink:) - he'd have to be a damn good shot to get him from there.

it's funny - i was chatting to my friend who saw this pic and i suggested it looked like a shot from a .50 cal barratt rifle. they're a powerful gun, and i knew that by the look of the pic it must have been one. should have put money on it eh :rolleyes:

Interweb legends rawk, but don't bet on them ;)

I love the smell of pwnage in the afternoon.

btw I see that picture is still up yet I recall other members being banned/moderated just for posting links to such pictures. Hmm?

it also says KFOR on the vehicle. i don't think there's KFOR in iraq is there?

I could care less about the photo's authenticity.

Tbh mank, I would hate if our soldiers started filming the killing of unarmed folks for effect.

I think some have pointed out that making someone pose nude doesn't compare to the helicopter crash doohicky. I must agree.

Back on topic (sorta), why hasn't that pic been reported yet?

Yeah. Okay.

This is not a place to argue/flame other members, if you want to argue/flame, PM the other member. I tried my best to clean it all up, stop now or the thread will be closed.

Quite, doesn't make the humiliation okay tho'. We must not allow our own standards to degrade because of the actions of others.


Regarding the photo's authenticity - it doesn't matter in the context, I just thought it funny that a, ahem, military expert can decide from the state of a person's splattered head the weapon used to cause the carnage yet couldn't tell that the assailant had woodland camouflage on, in a lush green area with the code for a Kosovo armament on his vehicle :lol:

Wow. I didn't think you guys were moderating stuff anymore. This thread should have been closed a long time back. :dry:

I assume that Busyman replied to my post I made at 4am-ish (sorry didn't get to read it...), or more likely he reported it.

Well if a mod looks in and there is a stink about it then action would most likely be taken.

I'm surprised the pic wasn't taken down as well but really didn't care since it didn't bother me.

I ultimately was hoping that no action was taken against Samurai especially since "past practice" was brought up.

Gotcha. It could have been a plastic gun in someone's backyard and I wouldn't have scrutinized it.

I don't see too much wrong with certain humiliation but whatever happened to keeping shit like this secret.

Everyone knows it has gone on for years but now we have folks taking photos and shit. Prisoners will always get leaned on for info. It's as simple as that.

Some things in the Geneva Convention are horribly soft.

I don't even think you forced sleep deprivation ffs.
It sounds like once you a prisoner, you are to be treated with "dignity" and 3 three meals a day.

This isn't capture the flag or laser tag.
