Here is a music video I made with clips from my last gunnery. Song is from Five Finger Death Punch. Also attached is a clip I made back in Fort Hood Texas while on a johnny detail. Hope you like them.

1.I hate ponies you dummy.
2.I have my own freedom to express myself ,freedom of speech isnt just for Americans
3.Have you ever seen a crying farmer cause his 8 years old son blown to bits by a hellfire missle for no apparent reason.
4.Have you ever seen a dog exploded with C4 ?
5.Have you ever seen wounded crush under humvee wheels?

I lived close to Incirlik USAF Airbase and seen enough horrors from guys with big guns from their cellphone videos.

Besides this is a Canadian Company and a gaming forum.
And yes I know there are good guys in US army as well but I tired of seing active service threads where ever I go.
Also reminds me the horrors.

There are some towns in Iraq you cannot enter due to heavy use of white phosphorus which
was forbiden to use.Oww right invaded there for WMDs of Saddam which he never had.
I worked for Microsoft I had the map where I can go and I cant.Forget white phosphorus lol
uranium rounds in urban area ? really ? That map also had radiaton zone markers.

Im sure these guys have nothing to do with those horros but this is a gaming forum and only sort of politics and military I wanna see is within battletech saga.

Davion vs Capella
Steiner vs Draconis combine

I respect you opinion, I'm not tossing horror stories, and I lived right on the Tigris river for 15 months.

I like catching up with vets, current military, and military enthuisiasts. I tend to build good strong friendships with them and I know I'm probably not the only soldier here that enjoy these games back in the 90s. Heck I'm just as proud of my 120mm as I am of the Mad Dog!

Thanks, If I upload another I'll be sure to leave out the cheesy music! I have another Gunnery up comming and I'll be sure to make another video of it.


The feeling is mutual about being in Korea, I arrived and one week later Kim Jong-il died. was a nice welcome to a tour to Korea.

I get the general impression, from those kinds of threads, that there are no 'Mech fans in basic army infantry...
...Or in the Navy.
Air Force.

I suppose it makes sense.

"Road wheel grease"

Did you not see his second post? Good job on flaming someone because he doesn't like to see military threads posted everywhere.

You don't see people constantly giving praise to physicists, doctors, chemists and engineers...

That's because they are not part of a brotherhood experiencing loss or success as a family (I doubt you would understand that). physicists, doctors, chemists and engineers tend to be in direct competition with each other for either notoriety or money. (I dare you to state otherwise) How many of them really do it out of altruism?

Let's see - a military style game, drawing in people with a military background. Hmmm, weird. I wonder why they would post on a Mechwarrior forum.

You can take my advice to Bluey as well.

Yes, I have to agree with Gremlich this is a wargame, and war is hell, if you don't like that then maybe you shouldn't be playing this kind of game. Just remember, everytime you shoot out a building with your mechs ac 20 you just killed hundreds of virtual citizens. And don't even think about stepping on that hoverbus full of schoolchildren.

I just added my own opinion while defending someone against someone that likes to name call right off the bat.

"How many of them really do it out of altruism?" I could ask the same about the military, btw. That question pretty much cancels itself out if we compare the military to the scientific fields.[/color]

As I thought, you do not understand the nature of the Military brotherhood. We all enter for our own reasons, but over time, the needs of the Team and the Country become primary. You supporting Bluey demonstrates something very, VERY tiresome - the attitudes of those who do not have a clue and seek to foist their opinions on others because they do not think like you and are therefore wrong.

If bluey did not want to see another "Military" brotherhood thread, he could have just stayed quiet and not posted. And you defending him is just poorly thought out. You cannot compare the scientific field to the military - two different purposes. Remember, science gives us the ability to wage war, the military puts it to use, whether for good or ill. You point is therefore fail.

That means he is not just ignorant, but stupid a troll.
