Getting close to War, I hope Brandon remains safe.

I am sad that it has come to this, and I am feeling very melancholy about the whole situation. But, I support the people who put themselves on the line.

This is not a political thread, more of just voicing my concerns for a brother's health and welfare. I pray for ALL our troops in every religon possible.

Brandon, next one's on me.

[H a n]

yeah, hopefully, the war will be quick and relatively painless (if that's possible).

[mrsha007]

i also would like to wish everyone and i mean EVERYONE safety

[Brandon]

Jumpin' Jimini! I don't care if I never hear a Patriot battery shoot its load again. I'm sitting here in my chem gear now between alerts. Never a dull moment in Kuwait. Nosiree!!!!

Best of luck Brandon- if all else fails tell them to break out that MOAB, Massive Ordnance Air Burst (aka, Mother of all bombs) hehe. Seriously, stay safe and pimp the chem suit! Do you think this strike/invasion will be over as quickly as they're projecting?

[mrsha007]

alex, is the MOAB the new bomdb that has the same explosion capability as a small nuke minus the radiation?

Good luck to all the troops that are putting their lives on the line prematurely due to a certain someone, :sosad: . I hope there is the minimum grief possible to all. And I give them props because that takes huevos.

[///Milk]

Good luck and Be Safe all soldiers!
Good luck Brandon!

You can call yourself ///Milk, Adam, but I'm still not gonna drink you - nosiree!

We almost went a whole 24 hours without a missile alert but ol' Saddam (or whoever is in charge now) launched another load at us in the wee hours of the morning. As usual, Patriots got 'em. This whole thing has screwed with my beauty sleep something fierce.

We get Iraqi TV and Al Jazerra on satellite over here... the propaganda they are shelling out is just plain rediculous. According to the Iraqis, we haven't even crossed the border into Iraq yet. That begs the question about where those "POWs" came from then, doesn't it? They also claim that no Iraqi soldiers have surrendered to US forces.

Well, I hope you're all having fun driving your M3s. I still have another 10+ months until I see mine again :^(

Hasta folks!

I wonder what Saddam's body doubles will do for a living now.

I think so, that bitch weighs like 10 and a half tons.. i mean, it just sounds wicked- Massive Ordnance Air Burst. Definately something i don't want knocking at my door.. i would guess it packs a nuke punch without the nuke. I think a lot of our conventional warheads are capable of small-nuke sized blasts though.. i may be wrong, not sure. Bottom line- we got the hot shit. I wish the F22 was operational.. damn that plane is bad.

Brandon stay safe man! So what is the atmosphere/mood around there like?

I hear Al Jazeera TV has crazy propaganda, but their war footage is unbelievable. They say that CNN and the US stations just can't compete with what the iraqi reporters are able to tape and say. In the US, they repeat the same thing 50 times an hour :grr:

Anyways, the MOAB is crazy. 21,500lbs.

SO how are things going Brandon?
