>Field grade officers taking selfies with Iraqi gold is okay
And I get NJP'd down a rank for posing with the Dragunov I took off the sniper me and my buddy killed.
Go figure.
they looted everything obviously.
>cousin was part of a team that raided an iraqi bank
>he sent us fuckloads of hussein notes as souvenirs
Terrorists probably took it.
I wouldn't worry about it.
ive seen three kings this is kuwati gold
Oddball's grandson bought a T-72 tank from an Iraqi deserter.
it gone where all other wealth goes, handled by obama
to china.
What's the volume of one of those gold bricks?
Doubt it (not your story, but the looting part)
They were retarded anal about souvenirs. Foreign currency, or a flag was about it.
There I am making 20k a year to get my ass shot off every other day handling literally buckets of heroin.
One day we are prepping to blow up what I suddenly realize is a pile of heroin and opium resin thats worth more than I'll ever make in my entire life.
looks like spray painted bricks. Who smelts such large quantities of gold in such a poor fashion?
>What happened to all that Iraqi gold, Sup Forums?
are you talking about what?
there was no gold just sand
#evil_laugh.mp3
Looks like 400 troy ounces, or about $500,000 USD.
Not to mention that those look larger than the standard .65L gold brick. Those look almost as big as 2L milk cartons. Which would make them weigh in at 85 lbs each.
I'd love to hear the story user
Maybe if those guys are like super manlets.
>there are actually people on Sup Forums who think they are redpilled, yet still have slave morality and believe in right or wrong
ayyyyy lmao, stay cucked subhumans, they took the gold because they had the power to do so, the only truth of this world is power, nothing else, not god, not morality, nothing.
The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must.
Gold? What gold? Who said anything about gold? Op is trolling again
>pic related
we took it what the fuck do you think happen to it
funds the hillary campaign
It's only a selfie if it's you taking the picture
When somebody else takes a picture of you it isn't a selfie
>butterbar in pile of butterbars.jpg
...
Actually I just used the marine helmet as a visual reference and verified they are more or less exactly 0.65 litres. The guy in the top right picture is just a manlet.

Rifle got cut up at demilling office.
Meanwhile field grade officers pretty much do whstever they want. Like having liquor smuggled to em and shit even though us guys actually fighting arent allowed to drink and can lose rank for getting caught with porn. (We totally ignored the porn part anyways)
I REALLY DON`T KNOW. NO I HAVE NO IDEA MATE, I SWEAR!
Got these from my brother during his tour in Iraq
He was friends with the guys who found Hussein in his hole.
He took these from a compound.
>Rifle got cut up at demilling office.
Basically this.
They were cast in a hurry without serial numbers, probably just torched into a brick shaped hole in the ground and then probably deposited into some random swiss bank account with some dead farmers name.
...
Don't mention it.
Noo, No it was distributed to the people of Iraq, I think!
That sucks dude, have a funny picture in return t. 1/1 marine
Where were you stationed? What was your job? Sounds shit, but interesting
3x whole months pay (excluding hazard pay and the like)? That's really harsh. Too bad that door couldn't have fucked up your 'friend' some more.
I wanted to keep it, its perfectly legal to own one in the US, but only officers get to bring guns back, or atleast thats how it was in my unit.
JOs deserve only scorn and belittlement.
Just going by the luster vs. the picture of boullion that was posted here, that gold actually looks less pure than bullion gold. Might be melted down along with stolen jewelry. (Middle east uses 18K for jewelry I believe).
then howcome your country still exists?
The only reason I'm not interested in the military, too many rules. I need blood and gold, not moral high ground.

Afghan. Im a grunt, it was harvest season in helmand and they pretty much use bricks of opium or heroine as currency to buy weapons from the russian and chechen organized criminal syndicates.
Wed find literally piles of heroin when we raided places, probably personally destroyed atleast 100 mil worth of opiates in my career.
Military punishments usually are.
1/7 (was) my DD214 shield keeps me safe now.
The company office at habisher that we moved in to used to be a motor-t admin area with a bunch of sncos and officers. When we were cleaning it out we found this huge stash of old liquor bottles in the ceiling. But motor t is mostly blacks so it didn't surprise me
...
that was just rude user, how could you do something like that
On the subject of gold
IDK, I never saw more than half month's pay times two when I was in the Navy and double reductions in rank were rare (and usually only happened to frocked sailors). I think you mean the Marines are exceptionally harsh. However, If you go to the brig in the Navy, bread and water is still a punishment.
imagine strong leader with morality, who honestly work for sake of its own people.
>mfw i believe someone like this will appear
well its usually 45 days in the marines of half-pay. What he didnt mention was restriction which is gay as fuck. The punishment is anterograde too so he probably didnt lose the combat-pay or anything
we fed it to the jews
Ah, I see. Restriction is a bitch in the Navy too, but I managed to never face the Captain, only a couple EMIs. I saw so many people get fucked for the dumbest shit though, really made me hate military justice and especiallly NCIS.
...
Did the soldiers do heroin over there? If I was around that much I'd be nodded the fuck out 24/7
A FUCKING LEAF
A fucking shart spangled banner
Why would I do heroin if I was getting shot at all the time.
Lots of the afghan cops and soldiers died that way. Too fuckin lit to even understand they were being fired on.
8^)
Might make things less shitty and you'd probably never have access to that much free heroin ever again
I heard a lot of soldiers get opiate habits once they get back
kekd
well it was the gwb administration. they were more military friendly.
I wonder where it could have gone
They burned it.
that is a very interesting question, maybe you should ask a fellow CIA operator in the thread
Me too, I posed with a bunch of dead kids we fragged in Trashghanistan, and they gave me a dishonorable discharge. I sawed off one of the kids feet and sent it home. I wear it around my neck to remind myself of how things used to be
I was in Kuwait.
My Lt shipped a solid gold AK-47 home. I didnt get my hands on any good loot.
Shame your command got wind of that rifle. You should have been allowed to ship it home. All I ever saw was beat to shit Paki made AKs.
>What happened to all that Iraqi gold, Sup Forums?
Safely stored underground.
Where did this map come from?
These guys took it
deep underground military bases connected by tunnels
That's so fucking hilarious.
UFO conspiracy nuts. Notice the little UFOs all over the map, like the ones near Mt. Shasta and Colorado Springs.
>tfw you will never own a gold plated ak-47
WHY EVEN LIVE
Boring tunnels over distances like that would be more trouble than its worth.
who the fuck do you think took it?
Deep
Underground
Military
Bases
peace has failed
traitors to the flag will face wrath unmatched.
>not being bros with an officer so he can ship it back for you
A lot of guys get opiate addictions because our VA clinics hand out painkillers like candy.
Officers and enlisted arent "bros," atleast not in the Marines.
Hes your boss, and nothing else.
T. cuck who hasnt even lifted 2plates
Post pic of foot
yeah the officers get fucked over too if they get caught even hanging out with the rank and file. IN THE MARINES anyway

>everyone begs us for speedtape

>discard gold, use speedtape on their hmv's
that's basically how it went down. it's probably all still there off the runway
that's probably a naval thing. officers in army/air force a lot more integrated with the enlisted from my own experience.
