Is that a Zastava M76 in the first picture? Did you get it off the cold dead hands of an Iraqi?

Cold dead hands of an Al-Qeada member... He was the local sniper and we took him out.

Hey Carib, why don't you blog about your army misadventures like Kash did? Hard-hitting, intelligent, UNCENSORED Iraq war reporting straight from the trenches is what DAC* needs! At least do something like Gunner Palace.

*me.

Yeah, report us how it is to be an evil invader AND black.

Not an Iraqi?

Another troublemaking foreigner causing chaos in his assigned grid?

(Helping to maintain the background radiation level of existential uncertainty in the wake of fallout from the Jesus and Bonzo show. )

See if you can scam some better body armor.

That kit looks a bit thin.

The bad thing about war is that the people who participate in it are actually proud of doing so.

hey Carib, is it hip to wear your helmet slantwise in the US army or what?

's helmet was slantwise too, but I thought it's because of his conical head..

From my experience with helmets, you can't wear one straight.

Dreadnought · Post by **Dreadnought** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:48 am

Carib can you take a photo of yourself doing a Hitler salute?

If possible with more black people and maybe some Arabs.

You would instantly win war, the Internet and being black.

Carib · Post by **Carib** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 6:01 pm

The messed up helmet... That is my fault, it does the beetle bailey thing on me... damn straps.

As for the kid... No he wasn't the sniper's kid. He's a good dribbling kid who likes chocolate and loves to laugh. There are some nice folken out here, and the media doesn't often play to that.

My neighbor is relatively peaceful, with lil incidents now and again.

@Dreadnought
Being Black has nothing to do with anything, nor does being white, yellow or any race or creed. I like being in the army. Is the cause always right, probably not. But some good is done out here and all those who have served can speak for themselves.

It wasn't directed at you, PIP. Don't worry about it. It was directed at Dreadnought.

PiP · Post by **PiP** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 6:20 pm

the fact that it wasn't directed at me doesn't mean I can't want an explanation.

Being a representative of American imperialism and doing the nazi salute would make a parallel between the two systems that try/tired to dominate the world.
The fact that you're black contrasted with Hitler's attitude towards black people would put an interesting twist to this parallel.

I think you're trying to say "it doesn't matter if you're black or white". In some sense (hey lets all be egalitarian friends and not allow discrimination) it's true, in some sense it's not true.
It's an utterly different effect when a black person does the nazi salute than when a white man does, for example.

Also saying that "Being Black has nothing to do with anything" may sound a bit disrespectful of folks like Martin Luther King and of the black heritage in general. I'd say being black (or white for that matter) has a lot to do with lots of things.
