cdnsniper 0 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 The bigger question is, why are the related links for gang-bangs and swingers? Anyway, good find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EricJ 0 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 That could have been near Jabal's Hammer, I've done an escort mission near there, and that looks like it. As for being outside the wire, it looked more like the "No Man's Land" in between the FOB and the actual wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arms 0 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Mortar shells are seriously scary. Once you hear that 'poof' sound in the distance, all you can do is take cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cpl Ledanek 247 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Reminds me of the time we were playing Uno (card game) and without any alarm/siren we just heard the the incoming, and start hiding behind our sand-bunk. 5/11 Marines (Howitzers) started firing back within minutes. Sometimes I just wonder how they "tri-angulate" where it comes from. Some scary stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EricJ 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 One guy that was picked up on a raid mit 60mm mortar said that one guy shows up and tells him the angle and direction to fire. They pretty much act in cells and do the attacks. Thing is that we heard is that it was just farmers who got paid to do the attacks, or threatened with their lives. Or the garden variety "Screw the Americans" schtick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
