Nice pictures. always great to see that another troop came back ok. a good friend of my brother and I went on his 3rd tour with the armor division. 2 weeks in they ran over a ied which caused him his legs.
but those pictures are cool |
Well i have a few pictures of the HUGE IED that i drove over 7 yellow jugs filled with HME (home made explosive) each jugs had 20 lbs of HME in there , they caught the guy heading to the site where he was going to explode the IED from. it was a CWIED (COMMAND WIRE IMPROVISE EXPLOSIVE) it was in a culvert with the wire running out 500 meters from the road using 2 poles as aiming marker's. after i found that out i was pretty freaked out so MAY 13th at 09:00hrs is a day to remember where i almost was a goner.

Thank you for sharing the pictures, I appreciate your letting us view and hear about your time in Afganastan. It makes one appreciate the service you and others like you have done for us and what we have here in Canada.
Thanks Mike. |
Did you say you had a plate in your head Asmo?
|
Go
Like I said before amazing. My brother was in the marines so I can
kinda understand. Thanks to you and people like you for doing what you do. I have a friend from there and she is so glad that some people from here actually care, and do something about it. I can't imagine how I would feel living over there with my family in harm's way constantly. She has written a book about it. Very eye opening for us spoiled brats here. We have no clue. So like I said before a big thanks to you and welcome back. Hurry up and send us fish pictures or what ever you got.:smile: ________ buy vaporizer |
thanks for posting
