Perhaps the most important war movie of all time.

[Victory]

Perhaps the most important war movie of all time. More accurate in detail than "Saving Private Ryan." More unsettling than "Full Metal Jacket." When people ask me, "What was it like over there?" I show them this. I don't even speak. I just stand behind them at the computer and remember. I wanted to share this with you.

This is pretty much how it was every day. One of use would get captured and have to escape.

War is hell.

That's exactly how my Grandfather described it to me.

Yeah, the horses were getting jacked up. Pretty sweet slide under the semi with the horse though.

Ain't that some shit? You had it much tougher than me, no time to set a slash , no time to dig in, very little foliage to hide in, however, you were better off for chow as there were peanuts before that horse upset them and it looks to me as if there would have been fresh horse meat after the broken legs when those horses were tripped up. Fresh horse meat has to be better than C-rations and those freeze-dried LRRP meals. FM

I dont know that the movies played on the bus ride from the airport to the various camps in Kuwait count as part of the war Andrew Maybe as a Preamble.

Victory- no shit, there we were on the mini-bus to camp new york...bollywood sounds exploded around us, flashing their horror like the audiovisual artillery it was. All we wanted was sleep...that cold desert winter changing for the hot sweaty pitch of another insert. The onslaught continued for 45 cramped, hot, gear laden minutes. Some Men vomited, there was no time or option to pee or poop. Not in my outfit, but I heard in another one some men peed themselves. It was horrible. And then we saw the bright lights, stadium style. Tents pitched like the previous battle of the senses. AAFES was there to ease our pain with overpriced dvds, snacks, and 48" flatscreens. We tried to warn the cherries...they didn't listen. Poor kid from philly fell into the trap. He financed a fucking flatscreen. Financial punji trap...it was hell... hell I say! We went North 9 days later. Thats all I have to say about that.

Did he really slide a horse on it's side under a flat bed trailer? I'll have to try that some time.

I hear you learn that in ninja school. Sometimes you gotta lay your ride down to save your bacon.

I know they revere cattle, what do they have against horses? Jesus, our film industry banned that flying W horse tripping rig more than 30 years ago.

ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO WOULD TRY TO SKID A HORSE:

You can get killed or accidentally have sex with an animal if you skid wrong. This can be a painful humiliating experience for you, the horse, and the guy driving the semi you were supposed to slide under.

Skid at your own risk.

Pretty sure the "Hero" used to cut hair for the Aafes barbershop at Camp Bucca.
