LR3s in Afghanistan WTF

[Devildog01]

Then again the barrett allows you to "reach out and touch someone".

 

[SGaynor]

I prefer this

Yeah, I thought the single shot was more your (old man) speed.

But "your little friend" is a friend indeed.:victory:

Stay safe, you need to enjoy you're retirement. atriot:

Did it look anything like this?

I bet they are the same ones.

Holding a S.A.W. tends to make the natives more friendly...

A lot of truth to that! I have now experienced it first hand.

 

[Andrew Homan]

And your wife told you to keep your head down until you retired and you retired to go to Afghanistan?

Are you sure you weren't smoking the green in Oregon?

Low profile here PT

I should have smoked the green. Everyone else in Oregon does:smilelol:

Well now I have proof they are here. I found one today near the PX and Pizza Hut.

 

[gmookher]

Nice, Andy!

Nice! In the U.S., they are mall crawlers. Over there, they're PX Crawlers.

Wonder what hourly labor rates are for LRs in Astan....

 

[hafaday]

I will assume it's a diesel, and runs ok on the JP8?

This one actually looked like it goes outside the wire. Well used comes to mind.

Its a TDV6 not sure if it run on JP or not.

A bunch of British troops just couldn't understand why I want a picture with it.

85 goats an hour

Yeah, yeah, I'm just playing with the little bit of coincidence that you finally got a photo of it... at the shopping center... with a Pizza Hut.

Actually, it's probably a pretty good vehicle for what they are asking of it. I wonder how much that thing weighs...?

Pizza Hut is how we will win the war. Flood them with American culture then leave.

It weighs a lot more than stock thats for sure. The glass on that thing is really thick!

I remember seeing a video about armored D3s a while back. Pretty cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we6iv-mGr9w

When my SIII was surrounded by soldiers in Manchester thinking it was a truck bomb, they were all astounded that anyone in America would want such a vehicle. They don't even begin to get it.

Think about it, would we get excited about seeing an F150?

I think you're correct on that. The flooding part is good... the leaving part is what we always seem to have trouble with!

Dude, you don't need to grow poppies -- buy a franchise!

By the way, how long is your contract there?

The contract is supposed to be a year. But it may end early because of some politics and changes in priorities. It changes everyday and no one really knows yet. Not to mention the Afghan govenrment wants us out by the new year. I take it day by day, mission by mission. If I come home early then I'll just finish my buggy that much quicker its all good

Man...thinking about a Pizza Hut in Afganistan makes me wonder if the favorite combo is the goat meat and goat cheese special.
