With all respect to the soldiers themselves, this is MUCH funnier than all those rah-rah lols.
those are green berets
Those are CANADIAN soldiers, I can’t tell if the beret is green or black. If it is black then they are from an armoured division. Green is the standard colour for most units (minus the air force, PPCLI’s, UN forces and Armoured).
^ Bang on buddy, and here I thought I was going to have to give that description
he’s not your buddy, guy!
He’s not your guy, friend.
He’s not your friend, buddy!
were sending you adrift idiot
hey, relax guy
how can you tell? I can’t hear the ‘eh’s
iami please di. You are a moron and ugly, just like your mom.
I know you are but what am I!
Silly charro, you’re a Floydist.. just like me, Rando, Ivan, VG, and Charlie.. there may be others, but they aren’t letting us know yet.
*smacks forehead* Thanks for the reminder Eds!
Can any Floyd fan be a “Floydist”, or must they also be a consistent PK poster?
Anyone can be a Floydist.. but, you have uphold the traditions of Floydism.
*have to* – sorry
And be able to drink tequila.
Right, it’s like holy water! a bonus if you can chase it with cerveza.
No “the Floydist” name addition for me then – excluded due to an aversion to most alcoholic beverages.
Oh, but there is a clause (because I said so) that if you have an aversion to alcohol, you just need to fill out the exemption form.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine..
I will sign the exemption form but
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Great! We now have a designated driver! Yay us!
Oops! Forgot to change it on this computer. All fixed now!
We fill the empty spaces with PIGS! Three different ones to be exact.
…between the chimneys of the Battersea power station!
And I ain’t even no Floydist! ;p
I was wondering where I would fit in here since I am not especially clever, witty, or politically savvy. Designated driver…I like it
GREAT ODIN’S RAVEN!
Dos Equis works nicely..
You had me up to here. Tequila is my kryptonite. Can I just continue to be a Flah-dist?
What else do you chase tequila with?
Oops, nesting fail.. Dos Equis works nicely..
I have a pedigreed Tequilahound to chase mine. It retrieves it, too.
your tongue duh!
iami please di. You are a moron and ugly, just like your mom.
that was uncalled for?
look closer, those are Canadians
They’re wearing Brisith uniforms smart guy.
canadian uniforms…
SMRT GUY!
Ummm, actually they are CANADIAN soldiers, that particular style of digital camouflage, known as CADPAT, is Canadian Armed Forces issue.
Not to be offensive, but what do the Canadian armed forces do? I’m not making fun of Canada, I’ve been there it’s a great place, but I never hear anything about the Canadian military over here in the U.S., I’m genuinely curious.
I’ll give them credit, they are in Afghanistan and I think Iraq (but I’m not sure of that one). And I should add, they’re doing a fine damn job at what they are doing over there. They also have contingent forces in other parts of the world as well.
They drive around Kabul with their special mounted bikes and shoot mullahs.
Actually they are currently trying to root out Terroist cells in Afghanistan, as well as detecting and clearing out roadside bombs and other IED’s, as well as providing security while the country is working on becoming a democratic rather than an autocratic society. We have currently lost 131 soldiers to this mission.
Thank you! And in all seriousness, how many French troops have died over there?
Hi.
So far we mourn the loss of 36 of our soldiers.
A total of 3700 french troops are currently deployed on the afghan theater, 3000 of them within Afghanistan.
1400 are support troops, serving for exemple the camp warehouse hospital, the only role 2 structure of the region.
I expect the number of casualties to increase dramatically, as they are to be redeployed from Kaboul toward the east, in the Kapisa and Surobi bases, thus forming a new brigade. If I remember correctly, they’ve decided to name it – not even joking – Brigade Dragon .
Was that serious enough to suit your tastes ?
Errr, sorry about that :
The name of this brigade to be is actually Brigade La Fayette (Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette, rings any bell ?) with its HQ in Kapisa’s FOB, in Nijrab. This redeployment will allow the doubling of the number of combat troops.
I also forgot a number of 150 gendarmes (military personnel with police power) serving in the Police Organisationnal Liaison and Mentoring Teams.
They also participate in personnel exchanges with other country’s military. I’m in the Navy, and for a while I was working for a Master Corporal in the Canadian Army. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?
Canadian military is in Afghanistan now, there are volunteers in Africa, we were in Bosnia (just to name a few of the places that people I know personally have been within the past 10 years)
They were in Khandahar with me in 2001-2002. Some of them were killed when a US plane bombed them during an exercise. Lost some Canuck friends that day.
Linked, for your perusal.. I was going to say something nasty, but I choose to think that you actually ARE genuinely curious.. since American media would seem to not be too interested in things that don’t feature their own in a starring role.
I believe the longest confirmed sniper kill was by a Canadian in Operation Anaconda. Just over a mile and a half
Haven’t we already established that these guys are Canadian?
I thought so.. I’d be more afraid of the SAS than these two guys.
Actually since the onset of the first world war Canadian troups have been one of the most inventive and succesful soldiers in the world. The average Canadian Infantry man has better training in many combat aspects than a US army ranger. They just have less funding than other armies.
Yeah, but it would be over in less time it takes to say, “Eh?”
nOO. I’m was thinking something more along the lines of NINJA WARRIOR, the Japanese TV show.
…. why would you want to see the logistical branch of the US armed forces? I mean really, you might as well compare them with USPS.
I do believe they did have a special forces (or at least, a scout/sniper) competition a while back. it wasn’t very well televised, but I do believe the only reason why the canadian team lost to a USMC recon team was that they didn’t practice with a .50 cal rifle. granted,
Thats cause America rules
I’m trying to figure out if there’s some kind of hidden agenda on PK lately. Anyone that knows me will know that I support the military, but seriously, we are getting an overabunance of military lols, just like we had with the firefighters and cats.
Besides, the captioner fails on so many levels. We don’t mount guns on just anything without properly verifying it will do the job. Now, Somalia is a different story.
You know that guy is just using the recoil of the gun to propel the trike forward…
THE best way to propel a trike!
I agree. I’m getting one for myself.
~motor boat sound~ BRPTBRTPBRPTBRTPBPRT
*giggle* Dirty Ewok.
GENIUS!
Fun fact: Believe it or not, the Somalian piracy crisis was caused by illegal Norwegian over-fishing off the Somalian coast.
And by illegal toxic waste dumping by just about everyone. If you woke up one morning with your skin fallen off because of whatever chemical floated in on the tide that day, you probably would hire a bunch of blood-thirsty pirates to protect your coastline too.
Actually that’s all of Africa. Look up MEND, they’re a “terrorist” group worth supporting.
So why don’t we have pirates in West Virginia? They don’t have the fishing problem, but the tap water in some towns is evil!
Yeah, yeah, lack of major navigable waters…
That shouldn’t stop a truly wily pirate! But why is the rum gone????
Some guy named Bob out of Norfolk seized a major shipment. I’m on the hunt for him now..
…. but why is the rum gone?
*hic* No idea.
There is a coast guard station in West Virginia. I am not making this up.
Okay, it’s an operations system center, but still…. {http://www.uscg.mil/hq/osc/}
There’s even one in Oklahoma.. go figure
It’s probably because a lot of weird pictures with abstract meanings (particularly to people not familiar with the military) come out of the two major wars going on right now. Wars are big news stories, and it makes sense a site that uses news photos as lolfodder is going to have a lot of military/war related material.
And why are the comments pages so full recently?
Controversy. Controversy breeds lots of page reloads, which breed lots of advertising hits, which makes a profit. Capitalism at work baybeh!
Blech. Capitalism and trolling.
And long threads are hard to join in when you’ve missed the start of them. *Curses lack of internet at home*
No, it’s actually because of me joining the site that the comment pages are full now.
Comment.
?
I’m just trying to fill up space for you.
*hums In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida*
*FineLine shuffles*

*goes back to work* Blasted work. Curse you Capitalism……
Here, have one of the many free socialist newspapers I was given during freshers’ week….
Thankfully, I had no money and so avoided “donating”….
University political societies are gash, methinks…
*accepts free Socialist newspaper* Oh, wow I didn’t know that Obama was the Messiah. Excellent.
It’s the Californian fire season, of course there’s gonna be more pics of firefighters.
Given that, fire season starts soon in Australia, so should we be expecting an influx of pictures?
Yes, pictures of flaming cuddly kewt koalas.
Nah, been done.. I’m thinking either kangaroos or wallabies..
Them damn roos!
Roo’s are evil. To quote someone (though I can’t remember who)
I don’t trust any animal with more storage space then me naked.
I think the admins are jerking some chains, what with the “kill s***” comment on the end there. It echoes the epic thread of a few lolz back.
I’m getting a little tired of it, actually.
These guys are Canadian. That photo was taken at my regiment (before I got there though).
What regiment?
Oh, they have more than one?
Someone has to protect the Stanley Cup.
Royal Canadian Dragoons.
These are Canucks… are they RCH?
According to Obama, they’re RICH.
Partisan troll attempt FAIL.
I should say not- unless you’re talking about yourself?
You could say not… but the fact that you pulled partisanship into the start of thread where none present before, making a very poorly linked stab, and the fact that I have said nothing partisan other than to call you out… You could say not… but you’d be wrong.
*adds Doogie to the death panels*
Da, Comrade.
You don’t find it funny because it’s not about Bush,
Stop posting this pic please :\
It’s like a 21 century battle chariot!
Those aran’t Americans, and this picture has already been used for a joke about the Canadian, and I think also the French armies. This is epic fail and whoever made it should feel bad about themselves.
What’s an epic fail is that this has already been stated MULTIPLE times, by the same person.. and you put it up here AGAIN.
well the other guy did it after wtfshark. Can’t really fault him for it.
You know what else is an epic fail? Not noticing time stamps before you call someone out.
was that a admission on your behalf or a call out on me?
It must’ve been an admission on his behalf since you’re actually right. Can’t win ‘em all, Max.
but someone admitting they were wrong on the internet? That’s as rare as a kegger with bigfoot, the loch ness monster, and aliens.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you. I’m having a kegger with Bigfoot, Nessie and some illegals from Puerto Rico. They are quite loud. Also, Scully and Mulder are here and I think Mulder is hitting on me..
Put a couple more beers into Scully and she’ll be hitting on you too. Can you say 3some Files?
HOOAH!!
new soldier or reserves?
if active give it 6 months before you never want to hear that word again.
I’ve seen it on the last few military LOLs and I never want to hear it again.
American arrogance and stupidity, if it has a soldier in it he must be a yank… oh, and the best, and the smartest, and if you think this is true, ask the 56,000 dead American boys in veit nam and the 40,000 dead Iraqi civilians… hows that for smart… the world is far safer without your help
And the moment we don’t run in we get blasted for not caring.
It’s lonely at the top.
i see you named yourself appropriately. thanks for making it easier on the rest of us.
I’m not trying to make it easy for you, the problem that Americans in general seem to have, and I do know a lot, is that they are very poorly led. There are times when it’s right to say no, (even if this is seen as un patriotic, a “crime” worse that murder!) and I think you’ve collectively made another mistake with your president, we will wait and see, but I think you will find him to be a lightweight, much to your cost.
And where, pray tell, might you be broadcasting from?
France
France: land of cheese, the Louvre, and french bread. There’s a country I can really get behind!
Good cause lord knows they’ll just bend over to take it.
*I really am sorry, but I COULDN’T resist, especially since there was some comment on French bashing a few days ago*
now now Napoleonic France was rather bad-ass. I’m not entirely sure what happened to them since then. But hey credit given where credit is due.
Yeah, Napoleon was pretty BA
He lost too.
Yeah, but he gets persistence points for starting the whole thing over again when he got out of jail after the first time!
OK….props to him for not knowing when to quit. lol
Till Wellington kicked his little fat French arse.
Corsian ass, you donkey!
Of Corse he was. Ma foie! But who gives a sh*t?
Pedantry and spelling fail.
You win on the pedantry, however the spelling fail is yours: It’s “Ma foi!” not “Ma foie!”. This here reply gives you a second pedantry win though!
I think a Russian winter happened to them.
NO one ever expects….the Spanish inquisition. Or the Russian winter.
Putin hates the Russian winter because it kills more people than he does.
Too true. He keeps tabs on it in his office.
There’s a price on Jack Frost’s head in Moscow.
That’s a myth. The reality was, they ran out of cheese.
That would cripple anybody! No cheese? GREAT SCOTT!
DAMN! Where is that kid? DAMN DAMN!!
MAX I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE! ON THE NIGHT I GO BACK IN TIME SOMEONE WILL POST ANOTHER UNFUNNY PIC ON PK!
Ah! The Libyans!
Marty, you have to stop your father from posting that pic of Adolf Hitler on PK or your entire family will cease to like you!!

France- where the National Motto is ” Run Away! Run Away! Help America, Help!”
usually i think you’re a troll and i just want to pretend your comments don’t exist. but this one got an honest laugh out of me. nicely done.
The French guy up above is definitely a troll. Feel free to lob mean French bashing insults while I look away. *whistles innocently*
*covers eyes* I don’t like French bashing either… Unless it’s Parisian bashing…
How about French Canadian bashing? See, your heart just isn’t in it…..
rando isn’t this blank white wall that we’re staring at just mesmerizing?
I love the blank white wall. It’s so blank and white that I don’t even notice the French guy getting beaten in the corner.
Ah’m French! Why do you think I have this out-rrrageous accent, you silly king?! -Monty Python’s Holy Grail
Don’t worry, the French didn’t hear it. They surrendered already. (Bada bing, Bada boom)
” For Sale, French tank. Gun never fired. One Forward speed, Five Reverse gears. Slight smell of feces in all seats- may wash out”
Actually they used to call on the Brits. (WWII)
But the Brits wised up.
Wait, let me open my history book at the chapter on WWII.
- The USA did not get in the war to help France, or Britain, or any other country but to avenge he attack on Pearl Harbor. Helping those countries was collateral bonus (like collateral damage, except this time it’s good).
- On D-Day, the French Résistance saved American asses by destroying supply lines (bridges, railways, etc.) which prevented the Germans to bring tanks, large number of troops and extra weapons and ammo to the front.
All the efforts to land foot on the beaches of Normandy would had been vain without the Résistance.
Did I mention the Résistance was composed mostly of civilians? That’s what I call a badass country.
The French are not bad militarily, in fact they are doing a fairly good job in Afghanistan. They just have a different philosophy than the USA and they think killing is hardly excusable.
While the USA waged a war against Afghanistan and Iraq that killed 200’000 civilians in retaliation for the killings of 3’000 civilians in 9/11, the French would probably take less drastic measures to stop Al Qaeda and risk a second terrorist attack.
It may be less patriotic, but the world would be a better place if more countries had the same philosophy.
Again? The US did not kill any amount of civilians in “retaliation” for any attacks. They were there to stop the terrorists and that is all, the terrorists that sometimes hide in civilian populations. By doing that they kept untold thousands of innocents safer from continued attacks from Alquada and other terrorist.
They kept untold thousands of innocents safer? Please.
- 9/11 caused the death of 3000 American civilians.
- Somewhere between 100’000 and 200’000 civilians have died somehow because of the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan (and I don’t care which side shot them here). The exact number is hard to come by so to keep it simple I will keep the number at 150’000 dead civilians.
It’s not like the Taliban killed hundreds of people every day in their own country. And at a rate of 3000 deaths per terrorist attack, 50 attacks would be required to kill as many people as civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And there is no telling how many more civilians will die before this war is over.
So far there has been only one attack in the USA, so it’s not an easy thing to organize. At this rate it would take Al Qaeda a few centuries to kill 150’000 civilians.
Face it, the Bush administration just decided 1 American life was worth at least 30 to 60 Iraqi/Afghan lives. And they could has easily done a better job at protecting civilian casualties.
I will also point out only somewhere between 4000 and 5000 American soldiers have died, which is a handful compared to the number of civilian casualties, and as much as I respect what these soldiers do I wonder if perhaps there is not some disregard for civilian safety in combat.
In the USA, cops abandon car chases if they feel the guy they are chasing poses a threat of causing a deadly accident.
In case of a hostage situation, they attempt to negotiate with the hostage takers before storming in the building and risking the execution of hostages.
It seems the philosophy of “saving innocent first, shooting bad guys later” does not apply to Iraqis and Afghans.
How you can explain such a disproportionate level of civilian casualties except by disregard for civilian safety is beyond me.
And yes, if you do something knowing your actions will indirectly cause such dramatic consequences you are responsible.
“So far there has been only one attack in the USA, so it’s not an easy thing to organize. At this rate it would take Al Qaeda a few centuries to kill 150′000 civilians.”
did you ever think that the reason why there have not been any more attacks is because we invaded iraq and afghanistan?
as for civilian safety in combat… the enemy combatants in iraq and afghanistan repeatedly use civilians as human shields for their operations and yet you still think that it is the us soldiers who have no regard for innocent life…
in short, your hatred of the iraq and afghan war plus your hatred of us troops has blinded you to what is actually happening in the real world. remove your bias and look at the facts with open eyes.
as for civilian safety in combat… the enemy combatants in iraq and afghanistan repeatedly use civilians as human shields for their operations and yet you still think that it is the us soldiers who have no regard for innocent life…
I rather think indiscriminate use of cruise missiles in the opening days/nights of the conflict lead to thousands of civilian deaths, and that it’s the US who have no regard for innocent life.
why does that number never stay the same?
So you want to compare militia’s not actual military forces?
If you were to let the american people loose with out the constraints of the Geneva convention and with out any real control. I’d be afraid of the circumstances. I’m a patriot, I love my country, but we have some real nuts in here. The truth of the matter is France declared war on Germany after the invasion of Poland. To quote French General Gamelin France had”inferiority of numbers, inferiority of equipment, inferiority of methods” Then in less than a year the french government formally surrendered. With their backs to the wall and nowhere to go the french resistance was formed.
The French government did not surrender, the general at the head of the French military did it and was labeled a traitor for it. It was not the decision of the French president.
Otherwise, I should probably use what you said about the Geneva convention to argue that France has better standards than some Americans.
Look, I was just trying to remind a few people here that the French are not as bad fighters as what they seem to think. I never wanted it to be a contest of who’s the toughest between France and the USA.
The Résistance, a French guerrilla mostly composed of civilians, were brave, efficient at fighting the Germans in their own ways, and they played an important role when the USA, Canada, and other countries invaded Normandy.
I never said the USA were not good fighters or were worse fighters than France, I just reminded people here of the merit of some French fighters.
I feel people here got offended because I dared say France fighters were not complete useless cowards. Apparently some people take it as an insult if you say the US military is not the ONLY good military in the world. My apologies.
so… the vichy french was just a figment of our imagination?
revisionist historians always make me laugh…
as for the french in military endeavors…
indochina – loss
algeria – loss
ww2 – loss
ww1 – barely squeaked a win with a lot of help
franco-prussian war – loss
napoleon’s russian campaign – loss
Did I say the Vichy French did not exist?
The Vichy Government (that’s how it’s called in France) did exist, but was far from having the support of the majority of French people and is not considered a legitimate government by France.
Just picture it as a bunch of renegades who proclaimed themselves as the representatives of France while the majority of the population was actually against them.
And again, the Vichy government does not erase the actions of the Résistance.
You may also want to consider Napoleon’s many victories, not just his defeat against Russia.
You really seem to be thinking any defeat erases every past victory. I’ll have you know the USA did not meet only victories either.
I also hate to bring this up, but since you want to dig further in the past I will remind you France helped the USA against England in the War of Independence.
I don’t know why you want to bring France down so much. It seems like you just can’t stand that France may have had any good fighters in it’s history.
Read my post a little bit lower about the Vichy Government for details.
nope, i just can’t stand when people revise history to fit their ideology.
napoleon’s victories were 200 years ago. and he was forced to live the rest of his life on an island prison.
and waterloo. don’t forget waterloo.
as for french fighters, i’m sure that some of the soldiers are brave and honorable men, but the history of the french army does not give them much to back up that claim.
as far as i’m concerned the only good french military unit in the last hundred years is the foreign legion which is not really made of french soldiers… (well, roughly a quarter are french citizens…)
Agincourt – loss
Crecy – loss
Poitiers – loss
Blenheim – loss
Waterloo – loss
Trafalgar – loss
Just sayin’, is all
Yet the Vichy French fired on Allied soldiers and sided with the Nazis. Care to explain that one Yelp?
The Vichy government was created after General Pétain surrendered and made a deal with the Germans, trespassing the authority of the president of France.
France was pretty much divided, and some sided with the Vichy government. Many did not like it and some decided to keep up the fighting against the Germans (The Résistance).
After the war, those who helped the Germans got in a lot of trouble. Some were legally prosecuted, but most of the time civilians took matters in their own hands and simply killed the traitors.
(Hit “add comment” by mistake)
You can’t judge France on the actions of the minority who were part of the Vichy government. Not to mention the fact these people later became labeled as traitors…
You probably would not like it if someone said U.S. soldiers are all war criminals because some of them raped a girl and killed her family in Iraq. You would argue these actions were condemned by the military and are the independent actions of a few who do not represent American soldiers. And I would agree with you.
Sorry, but the Vichy government is not France. France considers this government as an act of treason.
I should add the actions of this government do not erase the actions of the Résistance.
Anyway my point was that the French are not as bad as some people here make them seem. I did not even say they were better than American soldiers, I just said they had merit too.
But it seems some people here consider it an insult to imply not all countries are crap.
You guys are THAT pissed at France just for not going to Iraq? Explains a lot…
(And I’m not French by the way).
Haha… You said “Run Away” and the song from Spamalot started playing in my head. Most fun I’ve had all day.
Run away! Run Away!
Run away from the stench and the trenchies!
Run away! Run Away!
From these horrible, nasty old Frenchies!
These frogs and their terrible prattle, are fighting a battle with cattle!
We’re all full of fear so let’s get out of here!
Run away, run away, run away!
you’re from france? did you have to learn german when you were growing up? you didn’t? oh yeah, thanks to us yanks you didn’t have to…
No, thanks to the US, they didn’t learn Russian.
“in english and german i know how to count down. and i’m learning chinese, says werner von braun…”
What is it that you’re quoting?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I tell you there is no Hell! There is only….FRANCE!”
Frank Zappa
tom lehrer – wehner von braun… see the [link]…
You’re from the USA? Did you get to be born because your grand-father and his buddies did not get rolled over by German tanks after they took control of the beaches of Normandy? Oh yeah, thanks to the French Résistance those tanks never made it to Normandy.
Hahahahahaha! No, wait- were you serious? And then you left us Korea and Vietnam in order to thank us for dying in order to save your asses!
France was in the Vietnam war before America…
…and stuck us with their stupid colonialist fuc(kup. Yes.
the french resistance? are you kidding me? do some research…
the germans kept the tanks out of the coastal regions due to the allied air threat and the boneheaded direction of von rundstedt against the urgings of rommel. you also have the deception that the invasion would occur at calais which forced more troops out of the normandy area…
in short… wtf are you talking about?
The ironic thing is, dispite 2 world Wars and countless other conflicts, you yanks are gonna end up speaking Spanish in a few years and the USA as you know it will have gone whilst Europe will just go on being Europe…. personally, I find that amusing
Now how did I know that?
LMAO!!! What the phuck would France know about military operations, at ANY level?
Lesson 1: In an ideology war, get on the local population’s good side. Don’t murder their civilians by hundreds to save a few men.
Lesson 2: You can’t win a war against a guerilla.
Lesson 3: Know what you step in (a lesson obviously not retained by the USA from nam)
Lesson 4: All the firepower and training in the world won’t help you against an IED.
Lesson 5: If your allies warn you that your plan will fail, you ought to reconsider.
That’s common sense, which doesn’t pertain to France.
or America
Um.
A troll maybe?
I was thinking so..
but not the adorable kind
Oh, interesting.
It’s not a very original name, so I won’t assume it’s realted to me, but still: interesting. :p

(I’d love an “edit” option at PK where you could add corrections to the post, but not rewrite the post, because that would be horribly abused. :p )
It’s knowledge of military operations at some level, so it answers your question.
Also I agree with you, whoever planned the strategy in Iraq had no common sense.
lesson five: our “allies” (i assume you mean russia and france) had different priorities than we had. namely, buying blackmarket oil from saddam at cut rate prices.
and what happens when you topple a dictator who was gassing his people (kurds) and you leave. the insurgents fill in the void killing all in their way. then im pretty sure u would b watching the tv screen going y didnt anyone help. im leaving for iraq in 3 months. if i do i thing to save one life and i die, its worth it. have a heart.
PFCHood, I wish you well, I had the “pleasure” of taking part in both Golf 1 and 2, all I can say to you is trust the men to your right and your left, fight for them, and keep your head down, God Bless you
You can chalk this up to “dumb American” but when exactly did Gulf war 2 take place? I’m assuming that gulf war 1 you were part of was the 6 month conflict from 1990 to 1991, AKA Desert Storm.
or are you considering the Iran-Iraq war as the first gulf war? Because If I’m not mistaken didn’t France just provide logistic support and not ground forces? Also agreeing to build Iraq a Nuclear power plant capable of providing bomb grade materials?
gulf 1 = the 100 hour war
gulf 2 = operation iraqi freedom
but that would mean dope was part of OIF and France never participated in that.
sounds like he’s full of sh!t on either the french comment or the gulf war comment…
agreed
Besides, I never remember fighting in any Golf war. Was it in Scotland? Did we all get clubs and just go to town on each other? Did America at least make under par? Or is this just some sort of cultural misinterpretation?
America ALWAYS comes in under par because we’re fvcking AMERICA!!
America!!
Fvck yeah!!
*fukc yeah hand motion*
Oh, you didn’t hear about the racing team VW put together? It was to counter the group from ELF. Guess what, ELF lost, as expected.
Randman… I’m currently holding in belly fulls of laughter and making everyone at work think that I just ripped a silent one…
My work here is done
I said I lived in France, not that I was French, so learn to read before you make stupid comments, like I said “American arrogance and stupidity” just face up to the fact that most of the world dislikes you as a nation, probably near 90% of Europeans can’t stand the sight or sound of you, and the world would be a far safer place without you idiots sticking you noses in all of the time, and one last thing, we Europeans have been fighting each other far far longer than there has been an America, so fcuk off home and stay there and give us all a break.
That still doesn’t answer which “war” you were in.
If you are indeed from France, don’t ever, ever, ever bring up Vietnam (btw, it’s one word you fscktard) again. Do you realize that had France not colonized Vietnam, we probably never would have had a Vietnam conflict?
They bailed on it leaving us stuck with the stinking mess. Thanks fer that one too, mon amis.
“Ah hell. Now what? I know, America will clean it up. They’ll take on anything.”
“Hey, Jaque… wanna bet I can sell this pissant little country and it’s unwinnable war to the Americans for some Budweiser and a crate of Camels?”
Oui, oui, Pierre.. and if you is zee winnar, I will hooks you up wis my sistar..
An moi butt is STILL hurting from being kicked at Dien Bin Phiu by the Vietnamese. Not to mention zee Korean ( French IndoChina) mess we left zee stupid Americans… Perhaps it weeel confuse them if we run away some more? NO?
France didn’t bail out, they got crushed at Dien Bien Phu, same as you guys got truely stuffed at Saigon, hey, and nobody asked you to come here and make problems, so don’t just pick on French, we stuffed the Brits and Japs too, read your history books
THANK YOU
These guys are Canadian, but lets get some trivia going. Where is the US, Canada and Mexico? America!
God, don’t bring that up to a Canadian, or Mexican… them’s fighting words!
Yeah its antagonistic, why do you think I said it?
Because of the reasons you just stated… I wasn’t questioning why you said it, so… I’m not entirely sure why you’re asking me.
this pic sucks balls. what will it take for them to stop repeatedly posting it with a new, even more retarded caption each time?
Fail on at least two different levels.
1. Not even American Soldiers. I know that a lot of people (ignorant people) say we should annex Canada and be done with it, but since that hasn’t actually happened, stop trying to claim their soldiers.
2. If this WERE Americans, then how is this in ANY way a compliment to our troops? Just because some of us embrace the “stupid redneck” sterotype doesn’t mean we all do. And I know this site doesn’t have to be “complimentary” pics of our military, but that does seem to be the theme this week…
service personnel having a good time is not a “stupid redneck” stereotype. obviously the only stereotypes existing in this conversation are ours. good day.
Someone else also pointed out that Canada is in North America. Even if they’re Canadian, they’re still Americans…. it’s never truly specified.
And someone else pointed out what the reaction would likely be if you called a Canadian an American to their face. Decidedly not pleasent.
Everyone has a go at the Americans because they’re big and powerful. Or the British because they WERE big and powerful. Taking the piss out of Canada is like mocking the weak: it’s just not the done thing. You want to start worrying when people start being nice to you…
LOL Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind!
Funny! Not that it matters, but they’re not US soldiers
They weren’t referred to as US soldiers, they’re Canadians which is in America.
so… canandians are now considered americans? will people from brazil also be called americans?
It’s in North America, isn’t it? Just not in the US.
that also means mexicans and all countries in south America are Americans. Good luck telling everyone apart.
Mexico isn’t in South America. Just in case. Your sentence kind of implied that it is…
I know that. That’s why I separated them.
True, but try asking a Canadian if they are American. A word of warning, be prepared for flying brain matter as their head explodes.
Canadian slogans:
We’re not America!
Canada the good.
Canada the nice.
Hockey!
Considering that Canada prides themselves on their hockey playing, they haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1993..
Hehe that may be true… but all the US teams that have won are made up of Canadian players anyway… I say that counts.
nope the red wings are russian.
The Penguins won last year. Sidney Crosby FTW!
Nope, the teams are in the United States, not Canada. A team isn’t about who’s on it, it’s about how good the team can play.
ya the Americans wont let us buy any of there bankrupt teams
I’m curious, what OTHER names can you come up with? twit..
Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don’t wanna be some beer-swillin’ hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hosehead?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed
They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packing heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid Monopoly money
Can’t take ‘em seriously at all
Well, maple syrup and snow’s what they export
They treat curling just like it’s a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can’t understand a thing they’re talkin’ aboot
Sure, they’ve got their national healthcare
Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air
Then again, well, they’ve got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of drivin’ a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan
Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won’t figure out the temperature in Celsius
See the map, they’re hovering right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous
Always hear the same kind of story
Break their nose, and they’ll just say “Sorry!”
Tell me, what kinda freaks are that polite?
It’s gotta mean they’re all up to something
So quick, before they see it coming
Time for a pre-emptive strike
Thanks Weird Al!
Love that song!
I’ve never heard that before! I’m way out of touch with my Weird Al. *hangs head*
Rando, just for you: {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j8UH84h0-M}
This is only an issue to people that want to make it one. The majority of the world refers to the people of the United States of America as Americans. only Pompous jerks try the whole America is a continent crap.
But America is a continent…two of them actually.
While that is true the common conception of the worda “America” or “Americans” is in reference to the United States of America. As a Canadian, I want to be called Canadian, not American, even though I live on the North American Continent.
Wait aren’t these soldiers British?
NO! THEY’RE CANADIAN!!!
TOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOO!!!11!!ELEBENTY!!!!!!
United Statesians just sounds wrong, okay?
How about a USAian?
Yeah but that would be pronounced “U-S-Asian” and that could get even more confusing.
“U-S-Asian” would eventually elide into “u-a$$-ian” which would only lead the French to snicker.
Or possibly relate..
Or probably retreat…
I just knew someone was going to do that. You know what I mean rando.
Well, we have to refer to ourselves as something, it’s true. We can’t call ourselves the United Statsians or the USAers. But it IS kind of odd that with 2 American continents, we’re the only ones who have dibs on the “American” title. It’s okay, the other countries don’t really want that title anyway.
we’re the only one’s with American in the name.
Crap I meant America
I know. I even started typing that, but my post was getting kinda messy with stupid wording on my part. LOL
I think we also have the larger land mass and population. And were the first to resist colonization. Pushy buggers, weren’t we?!
Canada has the largest land mass though….
Yeah, but really, they only use about half of it. Northwest Territories is code for “big fvcking chunk of ice nobody wants to live on”
“… how is this in ANY way a compliment to our troops?”
Wait … what? Are you saying that the only captions allowed
are those that compliment the subject of the picture? Or are
soldiers (or TROOPS) special – like Speical Schools? – and
need extra care and protection?
I can only say, mina, that you are the epitomy of COMMENT FAIL!!1!
Reply FAIL
Go back to Kate and your kids, Jon….
What?
I think it’s a nesting fail, ay dios mio. I think he was making fun of Cpt. British Flag there that you responded to as well.
Yeah, mine was a nesting fail too.
*shrug* happens sometimes. Mea culpa,
blah blah.
WRT to some of the comments further
downstream, sorry, but I really don’t
understand the notion that soldiers
(sailors, airmen) are somehow above
having the mickey taken out of them.
For goodness sakes, the soldiers in
the above pic are taking the mickey
out of *themselves*. The caption just
plays off their own efforts.
If we’re going to say that volunteers
for public service are beyond reproach
or humour, then we’ve just ruled
politicians off limits. Surely that
can’t be right, hmmm?
I’m not entirely sure anyone was arguing that fact. From personal experience I would have to say Ay dios mio, and Rando would agree with you. They were just merely pointing out the nesting failure in your reply is all.
Thanks Max.
I wasn’t trying to be mean.
Although I disagree with the war and I understand that they signed up for the military themselves, I don’t see a need to bash the soldiers. Sure they fought in a pointless war, but it was beyond their control, hell, I have a cousin in the NAVY and he got shipped out to Iraq. He didn’t die or anything but come on, this country’s military leaders must be insane or something! If anything, we should pity them, war isn’t fun.
I just found out via Facebook that my cousin was just sent Kuwait as an army doctor. I had no idea he was even in the military.
Oh, and I agree with you. We shouldn’t bash the soldiers. We should take them away from a war that does nothing to defend the USA so they can be safe. If you signed up prepared to die for your country that’s one thing. But what are these guys dying for?
Yeah. I hope they understand that most of us support them, but we don’t like the war they’re fighting. Our misgivings aren’t about them.
War isn’t fun, and most soldiers become soldiers to defend their country. They have to go where their Country sends them. I’d love to live in a peaceful world, but given human nature that is a pipe dream.
It most likely is a pipe dream, but we don’t have to support destroying that dream.
Aah, the USA… A magical place where the dumbest people in the world try to survive with the horrible health conditions, loads of debt and they still think their country kicks ass. Well, the guys in the photo killed 1,5 million Muslims and FAILed to change the Middle East maps. This photo could have been published at FailBlog with a caption “U.S. Army Fail”
Scheisskopff!
seriously? There’s around 25 comments about how those aren’t American soldiers. So glad you know so much about the american military and culture that you can’t even tell their uniforms but can judge.
Those are Canadian Soldiers.
I thought they were Canadian soldiers.
Are they Canadian soldiers?
You know, I suspect they may be Canadian soldiers.
No, you’re WRONG, Isildo! These are clearly Canadian soldiers! Duh!
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT THIS IS TRUE. THEY ARE CANADIAN.
Charro, yet again you’ve let yourself be mislead by the mainstream librul media! Any IDIOT could tell these soldiers are CANADIAN!!1!111!elebenty.
You are ALL wrong. They are in fact Canadians. Do your research next time. Sheesh!
Ah look. A troll who has to put up a picture of a brain, because he/she can’t prove that he/she has one by what is written.
Aah, Barış Ünver… A magical troll that can make terrible generalizations about people he knows nothing about, making himself look like a complete ass, and still thinks he kicks ass. Well, this guy killed his own reputation, and FAILed at making a point that was true. His life could be published at failblog with the caption “Commenting EPIC FAIL!”
Those two guys in that photo killed all those Muslims? Just think what they’d have done if they had a tank! Respect!
wow I just realized we’ve moved up to 1.5 million impressive. How come if we are commiting this kinda evil no country has the guts to try and stop us?
FYI: Look at the uniform, those are CANADIAN soldiers!
No!
CANADIAN, THEY ARE CANADIAN!!!
changing you name doesn’t mean your icon changes
Are they Canadian?
No, I think they’re American…
North American or South American?
What about central America?
They’re East Americans!
I’ve never been to East America. I hear it’s nice.
South Central America is no place for an un-escorted lady at night.
England, you mean? Its OK..
You know what? You can change your name to whatever sock you can come up with, we f*cking get it, they’re Canadian.. Jesus, give it a rest!
But the real question that just hasn’t been answered yet is…
Are they Canadian?
There’s some kind of conspiracy, I reckon. Everyone here is trying to conceal the fact that those guys are in fact Canadian. I blame the French.
Wow, you’re a moron. Are you Canadian?
Charro… you’re my heroine…. and no, not the character archtype.
You put an extra “e” at the end of that word.
No, that’s correct.. the extra ‘e’ connotates a female hero.
I know that.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!
Oh geez, I feel so out of step today..
*two steps with Eds*
Ooooooooooh, now I’m in the groove! Thanks!
Get into the groove, boy you’ve got to prove, your love to me (yeeaaahh)..
Awww *blush* I’m so honoured.
Umm, except the soldiers in that picture are Canadian!
WE GET IT. They’re Canadian. We were a little thrown because we were expecting them to be holding hockey sticks and riding a moose.
(Just kidding, I love Canada, seriously, you rock)
you forgot they have to be drinking labatts…
Or Molson.
I like Moosehead
Or the cheap beer, Carling Light
Yes… we know… you’ve stated this plenty of times.
Shows us how bloodthirsty this nation can be. (T_T)
What, Canada?
Well, obviously, the Canadians are well known for their bloodthirsty-ness. The whole maple leaf flag thing is just a clever guise. They want to control the world with their fat-cat syrup conglomerates and hockey players. I’d go on, but I’m too lazy to somehow connect moose with the story.
Rumor has it that Bullwinkle still has issues with Dudley.. something about molesting a squirrel.
the canadian flag was actually created from blood splattering on a sheet then being folded in half. The maple leaf is just a coincidence
Hmm, Chuck Norris founded Canada? Yes, it all makes sense now. Those Canadians are some tricky bastards
That is.. Just gross.
Those crafty canucks
Hey just remember, from the lol a few back with the thread about birthdays. The Canadians shot down the first German Fighter jet in WWII on my birthday!
And how did you celebrate it?
About 30 years later I decided to pop out into existence.
So the Canadians actually saw into the future. Another reason not to give them a hard time…..
Well duh! I mean these guys can fight on skates… on ice! I wouldn’t want to fight them on steady level ground!
Yeah, but they also have sticks, so it’s not a fair fight.
I wanna see what happens when the road starts going uphill
Canada ftw!
When?
ZOMG I BET NO ONE BUT ME HAS SAID THIS, ESPECIALLY NOT REPEATEDLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE LOL BUT THOSE SOLDIERS ARE CANADIAN NOT AMERICAN!!!11ELEBENTY11!!3.14159!!!
ZOMG NO WAI!!
O RLY!?@!?!?!##$?!
DID THEY DIE??
Took a hockey puck to the face no doubt….
Cool story, bro!
But felt nothing.. no brain, no pain.
Hey man, give Canuck soldiers some credit… they get no funding yet still manage to keep thousands of men fighting in combat missions in Afghanistan. On top of that, the concept of a storm trooper came from Canadians in the Great War (German planes used to actually look for Canadian troops…. more than 2 units in one area, and they new there was an attack coming). They also fielded the largest percentage of their population of any nation on Earth in WW2 (over 1 million men from a country of just over 10 million).
For a brief moment, in 1945, Canada shone in glory as the 4th most powerful nation on Earth
.
Now they’d just be happy if they could win a damn Stanley Cup. (Which is coming to St. Louis this year, hell yeah!)
Wait a second, I’ll buy underfunded, but NO funding? How the hell do they afford to buy weapons and stuff? I know it isn’t with their good looks.
They have a cake walk, eh.
the Canadian military is made possible by molson beer and hosers like you.
We now return to our telethon.
When was that? Oh wait, let me guess.. 11:13 am on the 13th of September?
After the second world war, with the utter destruction of the militaries of Germany, France, Italy, Japan, China (stuck in a civil war still at that point), Canada had the fourth largest army… beat by the Russians with the largest, then the Americans and Brits. Within a few months though the Canadian army had been mostly demobilized so that didn’t stay the case for long.
Is the economy that bad up in canada that the military has to use these as their “hummers?”
if you ask a Canadian, they invernted the hummer.. it’s how they stay warm in the winter. *bada-bing*
for some reason I’m just picturing the kid from a christmas story with his tounge stuck to the pole. But in a much dirtier fashion.
Oh mai.
LOL! This would only be true with the French Canadians..
Those dirty French Canucks..
In more ways than you can imagine!
301
Neutron emission is a type of radioactive decay of atoms containing excess neutrons, in which a neutron is simply ejected from the nucleus. Two examples of isotopes which emit neutrons are helium-5 and beryllium-13. However, the decay of helium-5 is also (by definition) a case of alpha-decay.
Many heavy isotopes, most notably californium-252, emit neutrons among the products of a different radioactive decay process, spontaneous fission.
Neutrons are absorbed and emitted in the process of nuclear fission, a nuclear chain reaction propagated by neutrons. Delayed neutrons emitted by neutron-rich fission products aid control of nuclear reactors by making reactivity change much slower than it would be for prompt neutrons alone.
These are Canadian Soldiers.
What does Canada do? We have done pretty much MOST of the work in Afghanistan so far.
you know, the war that actually meant something but has now spiralled back into a dump.
It doesn’t surprise me that an American doesn’t know what the rest fo the world does though. IN fact, it’s sadly become all too typical. I blame your propaganda spouting mainstream media.
Wow, now even the Canadians are becoming dicks? I thought you guys were more passive aggressive.
What a coincidence, I blame the media too! We should go have a beer.
If America sucks so bad why does your entire country live along our border? Go up north, jackass.
Yeah, as an American, I can tell you that the mainstream news isn’t even worth watching for information anymore, other than the weather. It is pretty funny to switch between FOX and ABC while they are covering the same topic though, if I didn’t know better I’d think they were trying to out-crazy each other, if that’s really the case tough, FOX wins hands down.
The two in the picture are tankers, more specifically they are Royal Canadian Dragoons. I know this because i was one for 15 years and i know the 2 goofballs in the picture. This is what happens when soldiers get bored. You should see what we did with an old golf cart one time.
This comment, however, was actually interesting! (And I’d love to see what you guys did with the golf cart!)
please post pics!
you guys are dumb they’re clearly Nigerian soldiers
I hate to point it out again (I’m sure others already have) But, those soldiers are Canadians. Check the ‘relish’ coloured camo pattern- thoses are members of the Canadian Forces.
I hate to point out that you are lacking in situational awareness. If you had bothered to read through the other posts above your’s, you would have noticed that this was addressed over and over and over. You fail at spotting the obvioius.
In this case I don’t really care who they are, or from what country, I just think it’s really cute!
Those are NOT US soldiers. Those cammies are that of European or British troop. No they’re not Green Beret’s, jakkass!
canadians
Sorry to piss on your parade, but those are Canadians, ’cause last week I mounted a turret on my tricycle.
Sorry to piss on your fantastic revelation, but in about 380 comments, yours is the 500th to mention this fact. :p
501st yay!
Wow. I didn’t realize this one had made it to this list. I’m pretty surprised.
My mistake for incorrectly identifying the nationality of the soldiers, but it still pretty funny isn’t it?
When I made this one, it was strictly tongue in cheek. No disrespect to our troops, this or that side of the border. I don’t have to like why you’re fighting or where you’re fighting, I just wish you all safe homecomings.
Keep ‘em coming robyroxit. Oh, by the way, has anyone mentioned they’re Canadian?
One other thing… that buggy’s wheels are damn near flat. That’s gotta be some heavy pedaling.
If those are Canadian soldiers, why are they wearing M81 U.S. Woodland camo pattern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_(camouflage)
and not CADPAT camo?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CADPAT
Definitely not BDUs.
Errr, I’m no expert, but those are Canadian combat fatigues…. We call it CadPat. Helps that I get to wander around in a set of em now and then.
Well I’ll be damned. 70000 comments on this subject and nobody has spotted the Canadian angle!!!. I wonder if there’s a special set if combat fatigues for cowards called CowPat? I’d wear that.
Tries desperately to attach a lol.
Didn’t work. Ho hum
hahahhah after reading your comment, I searched and found yours.
Sorry dude, no plagurism intended. I dunno about everyone else, but I can’t view existing captions till I submit one.
Wish that weren’t the case.
They’re not Americans Dumbass! grrr
Guess it should say, “North American Ingenuity”
Gawd Dang Zipper Heads (as Armoured troops are called in Canada) You must have had a couple of screws knocked loose riding around in a metal can having a 105 mm Gun fire feet from your head……..
Anybody else notice that the picture is reversed The lettering on the building is backwards. Although they do do things strange at PET.
American ingenuity, shame their Canadian……nice work sparkplug !!!!
roflamo…hi ppl
there not american troops :L
those arent even americans
hm, except for the fact that the men in the picture are british. i totally agree with that statement
FAIL
Thats all you got?
Canadian not American
I realize that anyone who didn’t start out as a Marine will always find a way to try to be one but this is taking the prase adapt and overcome a little too far….
