Driving my Baghdad Firetruck

I lost my Hummer the 1st week in Baghdad, so we stole a brand new Renault Firetruck from the Saddam International Airport, and used it daily for two months.

thats not the only thing that they have stole. what about the amount of cash that they found? what about the truck was full of bars of gold? what happened to them? what about the $700,000 that they have found when they captured Saddam? what happened to Saddam's cars, Uday's and Qusays cars? what happened to them? which is sad, They Say Saddam Was a thief, now who is the theif huh?

LOL yer an idiot... Go do your homework, kid.

Absolutely... without having put it back into service, it would have languished on the flightline at the Saddam Airport. I sterilized the tanks, and used it to deliver safe drinking water to 15 differedt schools and their surrounding communities. So, are you proud of your comment?

I see you are from afghanistan, that's a nice place! We should withdraw our troops, food, medicine and let you be. This should vastly improve your country, and you can continue to live in the stone age. You can spell FUCK USA, did you learn that at an American school? Well, I shouldn't take up any more of your time, you probably have goats to date and women to stone.

Asshole.

I concede to your superior intellect, I have no defense for such a original comeback...

...but may i suggest using google to find out the answers to your question?

[coolasshole23]

@Halfand8 how about you answer the question before you ask me one? did you even graduate high school?

[Halfand8]

@coolasshole23 wow... just wow

you should enlist and change the system

@mailforward4me That so? That would maybe hold in an argument, if it weren't for the timeframe in which said "theft" occurred. Rules of Engagement were different four or five years ago. Nevermind that the equipment was essentially derelict, left without visible ownership and was acquired for our use and assistance. Under those basics, it would be defined as acquiring. And, as it says in the description, since it was driven daily for two months, I'm guessing their CO knew.

@TheArmydude050290

It's THEFT because the UCMJ says so...... If you are a member of the US Military, and you don't have permission from your superiors to take the truck, then it's theft....

Remember on MASH, where a soldier disassembled a Jeep, and sent the pieces home in his mail???

Well... the Court Marshall people for that stuff...

@sycam3472 Honestly, how is it theft? I'd really like to know. Because, in war, there's no such thing as theft when it's between two military powers and their infrastructural integrity. Iraqi Fire Departments were inactive throughout the invasion and surges until the US reinstated them by training them personally. So I'd tell you this, piss off kid, you've got a lot to learn before you can ever make a comment on such things again.
