War can be a brutal event. We tend to sit back in our living rooms,and view the barrage of information that comes across our television. We easily can become de-sensitized the real to the true gravity and danger of the battle front. Lives may be ended or altered forever during the heat of battle.

When I first saw this photo, my heart was instantly brought face to face with the cold reality of battle. Yet at the same time, made me proud of who I am. This moment of conflict, on some distant shore, truly captures the spirit and cause of fighting for what is right.

But a word of warning: You may not want to look at first due to the disturbing content. But the more you look, the more you will likely be drawn to and inspired by this moment. It may even cause you to want to join the fight. I hope it does.

Please take a silent moment to view this tragedy. Remember that all of us can be proud, and be brave...God Bless.

think we should form a peace keeping force, maybe i could hide in the bush ??

I'll have the one being attacked...

You can all fight about the rest.

I wish I could have landed on that beach
with my squad, damn sure we would have put up a " hard " fight.
Shug.

Stand to Attention.......... (.)(.)

The picture did bring tears to my eyes. I could not help but to raise my, um, glass, to those brave souls.

Please Steve, how can I help? Where do I sign up?

and some of the lads out on the front line complain about lack of proper equipment. These guys have an obvious lack of adequate clothing but appear to be making the most of the situation and indeed enjoying themselves.

I think those hip flasks are a little high but very well filled... as for the camoflage, the shears were obviously sharp enough to trim the bushes...

Steve,

Two words

Thank you.

Cheers

Chris

I volunteered for duty in the trenches!






I majored in women's studies at University.

I studied a LOT of women!

Steve.. you know your profile...

I thought it said:

Building: the perfect breast.

I was going to sign up for having a couple.

Do you mean two for yourself to wear? or just to hold and to be comforted by... <confused> <frightened>

Graber

Both

Bet we're all glad Tony Blair couldn't arrange flak jackets for them.

If they need R & R then I'm available.

"Love you long time, $5!"

Damn.....why have all good jokes been taken......

Nice one Steve....go on then, tell Hippy which is Mrs G?...

Gawd Damn! I knew there was a good reason for joining the navy - first on the beaches and all the stuff.
