Just as a matter of curiosity have you ever said anything nice about anyone?

Doesn't that seem more like Delta's style?

It's an effective fighting position. People who ride inside a jeep that
comes under attack are called "dead." The position allows you to quickly
jump off and run, or to drop and roll.

Well I hauled around a lot of 160th SOAR guys. When the little birds were
ready to fly the Rangers hung on the outside.

But yes, Delta guys did too.

Hi Dan

Obviously a person who never had any military experience.

This was a quick means to de-bus from a vehicle while it was still moving.

Hey maybe he's just jealous he could not get into the Polish Army!!!!!

Cheers...Chris

The US Marines have a smallish unit stationed in Northern Virginia that uses
G-wagens. I'd take a small bet that this is a photo from one of their
operations.

This photo is of GROM special forces riding a Mercedes-G 4x4. Pretty
standard stuff. And yes, it is an old photo...
