Default Polish Troops Don't Know How to Ride in a Jeep


Polish Special Forces, doing what they do best:

I guess they meant "special" as in "retarded".


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

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

That's nothing. You ought to see how the U.S. Army rangers ride in
helicopters.

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...
