Guard Dog Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Those rounds have not been fired.

Arkan Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 *doesn't get it* "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 She didn't say they were shot, just that they hit. Someone threw the bullets, duh. Jesus, people! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The thing is, even if real bullets fired from a gun HAD hit that womans house, that's hardly newsworthy comming from Iraq. It's like rapporting if someone dropped a used hanky on the pavement in Paris.

Aram Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'm not actually suggesting that there's some kind of consiracy here. I just thought the picture together with the words was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'm purely guessing here, but isn't that a mint condition 5.56 on the left and mint soviet 7.62 on the right? In any case Aram is right they must have been dropped. Besides which what's the news here? It's like reporting snow in the Arctic. Unless the point is to highlight that occasionally civilians make up stories. Have I ever told you about the time Jacques Chirac broke into my bathroom and ate half the soap? EDIT: In fact they're clearly both the same claibre. But I'm still saying 7.62 soviet. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Aram Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I don't think it's even American ammunition. GI brass is annealed and nowhere near that shiny. I think the bullets would also have green tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The discussion on the other sites (one I linked, anotehr I found through that link) seem to have a consensus that it's commercial ammo.

I think the bullets would also have green tips. That is correct. Standard US (and NATO i believe) issue 5.56mm does have green tips. Tracers have red tips.

Arkan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 *doesn't get it* Those bullets haven't been fired. They are still in the cartridge.

The caption claimed those bullets hit the womans house. The only way that could have happened would be if someone threw them. Like Tale said.

Sand Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Yeah. Those were supposed be fired bullets, yet still in their casings. Throwing bullets at people sound just silly. People like this photo"journalist" give reputable papers such as the National Enquirer a bad name.

Gorgon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Apropos, a journalist on one of our big networks was recently let go because of an Iraq update he did. He was filmed talking from inside an APC trying to find just the right hook to make the danish withdrawal sound like something monumental, waving his hands to the landscape he opened with 'Denmark, is now leaving Iraq'. The convoy was actually on it's way to Iraq, a few miles of the border however, not leaving. These tricks are all part of the business. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
