Pictures of the war thread

[Mikoyan]

Thanks, Curt.

We all know that war is ugly, and the truth needs to be shown accordingly. Moralistic or not.

 

[CurtSibling]

The rival leaders...

Saddam and Son, plus flunky.

Bush and cohorts.

Devastation at the heavily contested town of Umm Qasr.

A British Soldier takes aim...

Kurds watch a battle on the horizon...

Iraqis whoop up the capture of an Apache Longbow...

An Iraqi guard near the same gunship...

Anti War-protestors in San Fransisco.

I do not go to those websites that show those pictures, i do not read those papers, i do not watch those news.

Your choice as a free citizen of the west.

My choice is to be informed...

These men are fighting for you, pay them some attention, and hope with us that they get home.

Why is it allowed to show Iraqi PoW's, but not American PoW's?
Go figure....

 

[.:KNAS:.]

I am against all pictures where POWs are recognisable. Iraqis, British and Americans alike. So speak for yourself.

You can't stop the media from doing it.

Would you perfer to have this data hidden from you by the military?

 

[.:KNAS:.]

No, i would just prefer that people would refrain from humiliating theese people by displaying them like they were circus animals.

The americans PoWs I saw on TV were not humiliated (they only were asked to say their name). The ones in Guantanamo, in a cage, on their knees and blinded were far worst.

Guys, start a thread on this subject.

I don't want to see this thread closed due to arguing about POWs.

More war imagery:

Marines break down a door in Nasiriyah.

3rd Infantry arrest an Iraqi man, suspected of being a soldier.

Baghdad in flames.

From Time magazine...
Soldiers at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait carry a comrade wounded after grenades were tossed into a command tent.

Reality of war. Allied troops and local personnel treat an Iraqi casualty.

The spoils...Basra's main Oil refinery. An Allied soldier watches the horizon.

Baghdad. Around the city, flaming trenches await our troops.

Does anyone know whether the sight on the L85 is a reddot sight or an "enhancing" sight (whatever its called)?

 

[Mikoyan]

That sure looks like a Bofors-made Aimpoint sight, the ones that we'll have on our AK5's soon.

 

[Mikoyan]

British "Braveheart" Howitzer outside Basrah.

Call it the Life Magazine thread; it's a good collection of stuff you've scoured up here, and very insightful in that odd pictorial sort of way.

You must agree that people should be seeing what is happening in the Gulf?

Are we all meant to shut our eyes and pretend we are not at war?
This type of attitude mystifies me.

Ricky, Just try and stop me from snooping out info about the war!
