Lol! Imagine how the guys on the first Dday boats felt.

Yeah let’s just feed useless people every year and let them breed more starving children! Sounds like a great idea!!!

How much would it cost the next year when all those morons that didn't die have a kid instead?

it's not our job to feed the retards too stupid to grow crops.

If you feed the pigeons, you just get more pigeons. Let them feed themselves and nature will manage their numbers.
The only reason we have poverty in such a large scale today is because we continue to give food and medicine to people who are far to ignorant to ever create such things for themselves.

> 2 months left on deployment, thinking they will leave us alone till then

One thing I learned is you always get hit worse when you think your safe lol. First months in and last month's out are usually hell

Not even remotely, the Turkish border is absolutely boiling right now, your troops/Turkey/our troops/Kurds/Iran/Russia/kikes, you fucking name it, it's there and it's fighting.

top fucking kek

No. Bad. Stop.

What's Syria looking like right now? I know someone about to be deployed there.

Pretty shit if you ask me. If your guy is getting sent to Afrin, he's beyond fucked.

Bump

These always make me laugh.

It's not pasta because it's only been posted once and that was months ago when I posted it you stupid fag.

That legit makes me sad.

Well, shit. I'm worried now.

Why would you want him to get away? Guilty conscience? Felt like a waste since you didn't do anything else?

They were getting a feel for the new unit. See how we responded. They don't like getting shot in the face if they don't have to.

What do you guys do with enemy KIA? Do you leave the body there or take it with you

What is he special forces? he will be fine if so, probably won't go to Afrin, probably just gonna train some sandniggers and call in airstrikes on supply trains or some shit.

Personally, I didn't fight because "muh freedoms". I fought because there is something animalistic about fighting with another human being to the death, it's almost like a high, but nothing can match it.

Only a pathetic cuck wouldn't want to experience such a pleasure. It's godlike.

I'm as civvy as it gets my good man. But wasn't it good that you got him anyway? Did you not want to strike fear into their recon efforts? What would wetting the position in front of his firing position do keep dust from shooting up so he can't see?

> what do you do with enemy KIA

You piss on them and laugh at the fact that they tried to kill you and failed, which is why they are being pissed on.

then get dishonorably discharged by hillary clinton cause obongo is a secret muslim terrorist

not killing him would have meant more gun fights later with larger elements to slay.

take them back if possible for intel exploitation, once that's complete drop them off at local morque in Iraq... in afghanistan...take to closest village and give remains to elder to bury

There's nothing pleasurable about modern day war. You're shooting at people you can't even see. There's no honorable dash in a hailstorm of bullets to rescue your friend from being pinned down, no heroic music as you take cover and blast your targets one by one.

All it was, a lot of shouting, a lot of shooting, mostly at nothing, random whiz and bangs, rinse, repeat, and adrenaline too high to notice anything important happen.

Oh okay I see. Seems unavoidable though.

He would have broken contact immediately if he hadn't gotten shot in the face. They usually get away in probing attacks like that. Just wasn't that bitch's day.

There was heroic music playing in the background in old war?

In their heads there probably was. Some old Prussian cavalryman jamming out to Bach

did you fight on Hapilon's side? fucking mudslimes in muh country.

to be fair it was most likely too dark to see clearly. once the flashlight was shone was when they realized it wasn't a piece of couch

He's just a grunt. he says. not special forces. And he said something about working with tanks.

I know Americans are generally pretty dumb, and people that go into the military even more so. But I expected some amount of discipline, you all sound like developmentally delayed children.

Covering each other in chem flare shit, firing LAWs as a joke? How do you do that shit and still keep your "jobs"?

I don't believe you

That's a relief.

Nice copy pasta, shows how many newfags are here.

When you win a war for making a couple of rice crispies, you'll understand leaf. Until then, don't question the logic of the US military.

>I am a glow in the dark nigger

This thread is for the interesting stories

...

not even a muslim either

The 737 is more likely the total figure if you end it using the Clinton Foundation.
Maybe even higher after the administration costs.

Sorry, what war were you in that you won? Do Americans actually consider Iraq a success?

...at this moment I hope you realized the odds were 50/50 that he was actually commenting on the fact that you just threw your kids on the plywood.

Qanon predicted this

holy shit lmao

I don't get it, is that some kind of military slang? Rice krispies suck.

Anyways, funny stories. Just expected more discipline during operations.

He fucking knew, dude. He fucking knew.

Bro. He def fucking knew, and was prob having a laugh at the TOC about pfc dickhard jackin it on guard.

Prevents dust giving POS away

when the weapon fires and it's close to the ground, dust gets kicked up from the gases leaving the barrel. If that boot fuck had wet the ground, no dust...and he probably would have lived.

that's LCPL dickhard to you.

I remember reading this pasta on /k/ at least months before Trump was elected.
