Finally, soldiers are beginning to look like I think they should. Of course, a lot of this doesn’t make it into actual combat – they are basically playing paintball, and those helmets would be more hindrance than help until they have HUDs w/ built-in audio, and also can actually stop something. But it’s a start!
I think it’s important for the military to look as cool as possible.

For a self-provlaimed technical user of WP, I find it most amusing that your picture links don’t work. Perhaps you need guidance from some of us non-technical strangers?

The link works fine for me. Perhaps you clicked in the wrong place?
UPDATE: oh, you’re in germany? perhaps your government doesn’t allow you to view pictures of military equipment. It might encourage certain “tendencies” …

Can you view this picture? Is this one coming out OK?
Bitte let me know if mein VertenPreschen ist kaput! Vielen Dank!

This is fucking hysterical. And thanks for the straight talk on WordPress. Boy will you be unpopular.

Congratulations!
I criticised you for your comments on WordPress, mildly, it must be admitted. A second person agreed with me and you promptly turned off comments, not wishing to talk to strangers.
As I came to look at other entries on your ‘weblog’ I noticed that the picture wasn’t working, which doesn’t show much for your technical skills at the time.
And now you wish to make some reference to me and Nazi Germany because I live here? Had you bothered to read my weblog, as I took the trouble to read your’s, you’d have noticed that I have a long military service behind me, from 1982 onwards, and that it was with the British Army. Being born and raised in England, I can appreciated your short-sightedness and this need to accuse others of being something they are not in order to justifiy your failings. My government, whether it be English, German or European, allows me, as a citizen, considerably more leeway in what I may and may not do and see as your government does.
I would suggest you are a little bit more careful in future about who you suggest is a Nazi, some of us Englishmen don’t appreciate such insults and, since the way ended sixty years ago, it is unlikely that many Germans would fall under your pathetic little banner either.

Pi,
All the fucking pictures work. If they don’t the problem is on your end.
I have told you, repeatedly, that I do not want to talk to you. Nonetheless, here you are again!
You say you’re british? In that case, you should be ashamed of your atrocious spelling and grammar. I actually did check your blog, which sucks by the way, and the language there is just as bad – I had no trouble believing you were German.
Anyway, I have no time to carry on this wonderful conversation so do me a favour and go back to writing on your oh-so-superior blog, and I’ll continue on mine.
Auf wiedersehn!

Repeatedly? Bad grammer and spelling? Swearing? My, my, my, you really have sunk about as low as you can go.
It isn’t me, or WordPress that is the problem, and it isn’t a bad connection to a picture which on one single occasion didn’t work, it’s your cerebral connections. My weblog isn’t ’superior’ as you care to claim, although I thank you for the compliment, but it certainly comes higher up in the ratings, one could think, than your’s. I have no problems not conversing with you. I shall, however, take up your offer and continue writing on my weblog, and shall allow myself a short mention of your attempts in the next few days.

Pi,
GOD you are annoying.
I could not care less about your, or my, website “ratings”.
I could not care less about your blog, you, anything you’ve said, England, Germany, Wordpress, sinking one way or the other, or blogging in general.
Please feel free to write whatever you want on your lame-ass blog – I certainly won’t read it, and I doubt anyone else will either – not that I give a shit.
And please, for the love of god, stop wasting both of our time with your grade school replies – there is absolutely nothing you could say or do that I am remotely interested in, you have nothing to teach me, your intelligence is well below my requirements for serious discussion of anything, you are really just wasting my time, and I wish you’d fucking stop.
Comments closed on this post too. Take the hint, why don’t you.
