@ecktowmaster Why don't you show the equipment graveyard of Anaconda to illustrate how careful you handled the valuable and expensive equipment entrusted to you by the American taxpayer?

[ecktowmaster]

some of these people have never been there... they are the pussys they probabaly still have their momma cleaning up after them... if you haven't been there just shut the f_ck up..

@newtond23333 freedom isnt freee that why you pay taxes for if you dont pay them see how much freedom you'll have.

@marcusos1111 yes, everyone that lives there calls it Mortarville. It usually gets some sort of mortar attacked at least once a day. I lived there for a year.

This base is the nicest base in iraq in my opinion. Eeytime we did a convoy mission i wanted to come here. Yes, JBB fobits have it way good.

[marcusos1111]

isnt this base the one that gets mortars all the time??

[newtond23333]

Soldiers they have nothing!!! I talk to soldiers all the time that says "Freedom isn't free but im willing to fight for it."
