I like how confused the Russians were about Khat. "Seamen said this piece of rope pirates were using as narcotic. Is it made from hemp?" ![]() Also, like half of the comments are people whining about weed legalization.

I agree. Multicam seems to be the best pattern, and it doesn't seem too hard to make a woodland variant.

I don't know how many UK milgoons are kicking around, but this documentary takes a look at a training area in the UK that recreates an Afghan village it's actually pretty well shot, and somewhat informative. I know the UK has a replica German village somewhere from the cold war days, so it's cool to see that they're keeping up with the times. http://youtu.be/vAi5HC9ArFE ~Highlights~ - Busted Female Veterinary Techs - Hilarious Accents - A Lance Corporal who thinks 5.56 is designed to wound and 7.62 kills - Real life amputees as roleplayers (this one is actually pretty cool) - Salty NCOs talking about Kosovo

Found a pretty good video from Afghanistan, as well as an AAR from one of the guys who was there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaC-w2dIxZc quote:1- grenades, use lots of grenades, between the 4 of us we had 1 grenade left at the end of the fight

What kind of casualties would that convoy take? I saw a lot of soft-skinned vehicles, so right off the bat that's a few casualties. I expect that the rebels would have moved to assault immediately after, or at least fired on the convoy. Since they were filming the wreckage, they obviously secured the site, which leads me to think that the Syrian army was unwilling or unable to counterattack.

I keep hearing about how lovely Golani are, does anyone know how much truth there is to that? Basically I heard they're the 82nd of the IDF, and go on about how elite and high-speed they are.

Brown Moses, do you have any pictures or videos showing how damaged World Heritage Sites in Syria have been by the fighting? It came up in a lecture that UNESCO considers all 6 sites in Syria to have been damaged by fighting, encampment or looting.

That's pretty crazy. Especially the end of the article. where it's possible to find out exactly where the attack took place, and where everybody was.

Not all chemical agents are blistering agents, there are blood, choking and nerve agents that are much, much worse. Being hit with nerve gas wouldn't leave burns, but it would kill you just as well (actually better)

HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:Are blistering agents the easiest to make? I'm basing this off nothing but nerve agents sounds difficult to use and make. Yes. They're the oldest and the simplest and there are larger stockpiles of them around the world. Nerve gas is complicated, and even if you side has good CBRN training and equipment (which I doubt the Syrians do) it's still dangerous to use on the frontline.

Wasn't there video of rebels in CBRN gear not that long ago? I at least remember seeing a few videos where all the rebels are wearing gas masks.

Interesting Frontline report on Syria. This is the first one I've seen where the Western Media had access to the pro-regime Army and it's pretty drat interesting. I feel bad for the Syrian PL because deep down he's got to know he's hosed. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/syria-behind-the-lines/

How the hell did the Selous Scouts cause 68% of enemy casualties? I can't think of any other SF unit with a bodycount that high.

Can't they just strap a gunpod and a couple of hellfires on a V-22 and call it a day?

Keep in mind that by the Somme, the allies knew about creeping barrages and fire and movement, they just didn't think newly arrived volunteers would be able to manage. The professional soldiers of the BEF had been killed off the year before, so new tactics had to be devised for Kitchener Volunteers. Things that seem stupid and careless now like Pals Battalions were supposed to be more humane, and good for morale. The generals in the first world war may have been unprepared for modern warfare, but for the most part they did care about their men, and were horrified by the high bodycounts.
