Are you sure? The coat-of-arms looks norwegian.
Perhaps the flemish was related to some norwegian then?
btw: we still use that lion up here.

Mods, quite frankly I don't think that the several last posts qualify as "cool military pictures".

If the posters in question wish to post their pics, they should start their own "the horrors of war" thread.

I didn't open this thread to see what they posted. To do that, I can just turn on TV.

Isn't that what the cool military hardware is all about? There is always a recieving end, and you have to deal with that too.

Spiffor · March 18, 2003, 19:01

Don't worry Siro, you'll have many more cool military pictures in the next weeks on TV than horror pics. The later pics were for educational value : not every country shows what it looks like on the recieving side.

Good idea. Here's one that demonstrates the price of ignoring tyrants...

I've always been really fascinated by that picture actually, the way the sun rays are beaming down on the scene.

What the hell has Poly come to when we can't even have a decent 'splosions thread without people *****ing and moaning? Fer crying out loud people, why don't you just head on over to the next Hot Babes thread and post pictures of battered women or some ****, and then get up on your high horse and say something like "Exploitation of women is never sexy..."

Anyway, posting from school at the moment. I'll try to find some cool pictures when I get home in five hours.

ThePlagueRat · March 18, 2003, 19:18

Two tough Vikings going berserk.

SlowwHand · March 18, 2003, 19:18

I don't know why my "Every Picture Tells A Story" thread was so criticized.
GePap, for one, putting much worse than I did.

Guess it depends on who does the posting.

Chemical Ollie · March 18, 2003, 19:20

Here is the recieving end of the MOAB. Don't drop it on civilians!

There is also a Realplayer movie if you want to see the whole sequence:

The axeman rushes... and he got a kill.

Dis · March 18, 2003, 19:23

that one pic looks suspiciously like child pornography

I demand this thread be closed!

Yeah, it's from the Battle of the Gulden Spurs (1302)

I don't think there was any relation between the Flemish and the Norwegians, the lion on a coat-of-arms was pretty common back then

We still use a black lion on a gold background

And this is a picture from a French manuscript after the battle, portraying the Count of Flanders as one of the horsemen of the apocalypse

Dis · March 18, 2003, 19:27

couldn't resist. See, we have been on the recieving end of war.

Provost Harrison · March 18, 2003, 19:29

Hmmm, a Sherman...no match for the German tanks

But let's not turn this into one of those threads

Well, how's this for size?

Dis · March 18, 2003, 19:30

I think this thread shows something. It shows a little aspect about human nature that cannot be denied.

Think about it.

You guys post pictures of this stuff, yet I'm called a cynniccal murderer, and a nazi.

Dis · March 18, 2003, 19:33

you know, I have found some battered women pictures on google. should I post them in the babe thread?

That would piss too many people off. But I'm tempted.

Provost Harrison · March 18, 2003, 19:34

And of course, the pride of the Republican Guard

Jeltz · March 18, 2003, 19:36

Sheer horror, sheer horror!

It's a "sissiteltta", direct translation would be "guerilla tent".

It also depends on who looks at it.

Read up people, if you want this thread to stay alive!

Here are the rules for military/weapons photos as I have just arbitrarily made them up, and as I shall equally arbitrarily enforce, with my customary brutality and lack of interest in discussing decisions once made.

Rule 1: No dead bodies. Violation of this one will get you a few days off, unless it's a crispy critter, or there are guts all over the place, or similar stuff, in which case violators will get several weeks off. You can find all the gore and body count pics you'd ever want all over the net, it doesn't need to be posted here.

Rule 2: Pics in this thread will be confined to the current conflict, and current equipment of the combatants therein. If you want to start another thread for other pics, do so, but don't run amok with new threads for everything.

Jeltz · March 18, 2003, 19:37

Dear spiffor, if you'd like educational pictures about the real recieving ends of this conflict, I would suggest pictures of kurds, or of Iraqis, that have been killed, tortured and mutilated.

During my education, I saw many many pictures from the Nazi death camps. I think that those pictures, rather than pictures of injured german soldiers, reflect better the "recieving end", and portray correcly why sometimes war is a necessity.

Dis · March 18, 2003, 19:39

MTG I don't think its right to show war pics without dead bodies.

This isn't a game. War is serious business that results in death.

Do not cover up the truth!

Oh well, I was done anyway.
