Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Stop me if I’ve told this before. My team and a team of Recondos were on top of Bach Ma, We were supposed to run patrols down of the top, to prepare for an insertion of both Battalions (506 and 1/327). Turned to shit right away. Huge cloud sat on us all day and all night for two weeks. When we were set down there, a Chinook left us a pallet of C Rations and a water buffalo as in the picture. After two weeks water was getting low, maybe half a tank, so we started rationing it, in case we had another two weeks of fog. It stretched on. One night our LT was taking a short walk to the water point, and heard some splashing. He climbed up on the tank, and looked down into the hatch, with his penlight. There was a Recondo private swimming around in there, taking a bath! All hell broke loose.
“Sergeant of the Guard!”, he shouted. Several of us including the E7 from both teams came running. The poor kid was standing in the hatch dripping wet, nekid, and scared shitless. The Recondo LT cam up, and ordered his E7 to take the idiot to their CP. We were in a fix.
One of our issues was that previous residents of the hill top, mostly ARVN’s had ringed the hill top with booby traps and never taken them out. There were literally hundreds! We only ran one patrol, due to both that and the heavy fog, which persisted down about 3,000 ft for the hill top. On that patrol we had found a small creek, so we took every canteen and both teams made a patrol in force, to refill all of them. We did that once every three days, until the clouds broke, and they swapped out the water tanker. And left us there for two more weeks. This was like late December of 68.

Had some crazy stories like this, including guys “playing” with a cobra on a patrol.

You never know if the old guy you see was at one time a certified badass.

You know... the IRA is still alive and well. And if they dig up their weapons and oil them up... and decide that they can live with the Protestants long enough to exterminate the muzzies off their island... It would be TV worth watching.

Just 'sayin.

Hey Sinn Fein. We have an idea for applying your talents.

Muslims: Me against my brother. Me and my brother against my cousin. Me, my brother and my cousin against all Christians.

Irish. Me against the Protestants. Me and the Protestants against the English. Me, the Protestants and the English against the filthy muzzies.

This has real merit! C'mon PIRA... let's get that game on and start making meat pies out of muzzies.

You do know that Sinn Fein is a socialist party and has always stood for a united socialist Ireland, don't you? Do you also know that Sein Fein was part of the Irish Government that has been letting all the Muzzies in. They made a pivot last year after losing their working-class base, and their language is about having a "fair" immigration policy, not booting the muzzies out. So, the usual nuanced crap that means they will continue to sell the Irish people out.

You are sadly very naive about modern Irish politics if you actually believe what you wrote.

Aimed not at the typical man of Snipershide, but those who aim their little pop guns sideways and more often than not only kill air
