This was after about a month in Iraq.

This was after 4 months there. I'm in the turret manning the .50.

Yes, we are all bundled up. It was cold as hell there. It even snowed!

Don't make fun of my musket. This was after I left the 82nd and joined the reserves, so we didn't have any nice M-4s with M68s and collapsable buttstocks :(

Plus I was new to the unit, so I didn't have all my tactical gear for my vest put on yet.

We didn't really shoot people who came that close because we had to drive through traffic a lot in the city.

Only a few times did we ever have to disable vehicles because they were approaching at a very high rate of speed toward a checkpoint we had set up. Other than that, I would usually just waive them off or fire a warning shot in the air to get them to back off. I'd usually let them get to within about 25 meters before doing anything.
 
Or you could shoot up fireworks that read "back the **** off or we bust a cap in your ass" in nice pretty colorful letters
 
Thats cool cheese. It's nice to see we have reasonable and respectable people in our military like you. Thank you for serving our country!

So, were you inside the tank, or just walking the perimeter?

I've never been inside a tank. The pic I posted was of a Humvee. And we rotated since we were an infantry platoon. Sometimes we would roll dismounted (on foot) and sometimes I would be in the turret.

lmao. I wish! :lol:
 
Pretty good idea. But if I was whoever was speeding towards you, I'd drive faster because I couldn't wait to thank you for a such a colorful display of fireworks!
