I saw this on the news, absolutely amazing footage, a group of rag heads just completely surround one of the tanks and throw rocks at it and molotov cocktails, one of the troopers opens the hatch and runs out infront of like 100 ragheads hurling rocks, i heard reports that no one was killed, does anyone have the video or link to this?

"Ragheads"?? So is it ok now for me to start hurling racial and cultural biased epithets of my choice now guys? Just asking cuz I've got some good ones.


Mod edit: Go ahead, make my day

and if you have, im glad you werent in mine!

Several members here (with WAY more military experience than you by the way) have actually reacted on your choice of words.
I've also personally served with "rag heads", and I'm not particularly fond of that choice of words myself.

Words you choose to use amongst friends is one thing, but what you say/post in a public forum like this where you (mostly) speak to people you don't know is something completely different..

So if you have a problem with that then I strongly suggest that you find yourself a more "professional forum" to spend your time in.
